Zhu Biao's words were really powerful. He must have been holding these words in his heart for I don't know how many years. As soon as he said these words, Zhu Biao's face turned a little rosy.
It seems that the stagnation in my heart has dissipated a little.
But who would have thought that a prince trained in Confucianism would have the most wanted ministers to be legal officials?
"Then why don't you tell your father these words?"
Zhuo Qun glanced at the door and said.
Zhu Biao leaned on the pillow and shook his head: "Father, he wants to train me to be a perfect prince and a kind king. This is what he thinks and does. How can a benevolent king use cruel officials?"
"You really want cool officials?"
Zhuo Qun asked, this question is very critical, it was asked by people in the parliament hall, and the answer is needed for psychological evaluation.
"I don't like cruel officials. In my opinion, the most suitable people for me are people like Zhang Shizhi and Yu Dingguo. It's a pity that without Legalism, we can only cultivate cruel officials. Today's world doesn't like Legalists. Maybe There is no one who can become a truly cool official."
Zhu Biao looked up and held his head on his hands, his eyes a little blurry.
"Master Li is the last Legalist. Even this Legalist was self-taught in troubled times. Now that the Five Classics are certain to be selected, the world will be over. Everyone will study the Five Classics. Even the disciples of Confucianism now only know the Five Classics. Now, I can't express my own opinions. All articles are written on behalf of saints. I can only study Zhu Xi's things. What's so good about learning from a morally corrupt person? You must know Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and learn from it. The best among us are the people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
"My father was a monk and a beggar. No king in ancient times had a lower starting point than him. However, he became the most righteous emperor in the world. He was Qin Shihuang and a survivor of the Sixth Dynasty. For dozens of generations The accumulation won the world.
The worst of the other founding kings in the past dynasties was Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, but he was also a man who was literate and served as a pavilion chief.
But my father is not like that. He was born as a cowherd boy. He knew every Chinese character. When he became a monk, he just wanted to have enough food. He couldn't even read scriptures. He only learned to write when he was in the army.
He respected scholars but didn't understand anything about them. In addition, he was deceived by Song Lian and others, so he chose Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and established Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism as the world's orthodox learning. We can only train those corrupt Confucians. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang repeatedly became the number one scholar. Song Lian and Liu Ji both said that it was their talents who learned well, which is what they should do. Bah, they have studied Neo-Confucianism for hundreds of years, and even articles How to write is determined by them. There is no competition for talent, only for articles. Those who succeed must be the young people in Jiangnan who write beautiful articles.
If this continues, after a few generations, it will not be about who is more talented and knowledgeable, but who is better at writing. Officials with a clear line will definitely occupy the entire court, and there will be no hard-working ministers. I can't see it. It’s such a pity for Ming Dynasty today. "
Zhu Biao spoke out all his inner thoughts under Zhuo Qun's hypnosis, and everyone had a new understanding of him. He was a very sober prince who could see the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty. If he could survive and succeed to the throne , those civil servants had a difficult time.
"Why pity the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Biao suddenly said it was a pity for Ming Dynasty, which made Zhuo Qun a little confused.
"Among the scholars who obtained the most from the imperial examination, those from Jiangnan, especially those from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, were thinking about Zhang Jiusi, not my Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, my Ming Dynasty would be ruined in the hands of these scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. inside."
When Zhuo Qun and the people in the parliament hall heard this, they felt that Zhu Biao's premonition was too right. The Ming Dynasty really died at the hands of these people. The Donglin Party was the spokesperson of the forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They had never considered themselves Be regarded as the people of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this at the door, his heart was churning. He had never thought about these things. He always believed that the north was ruled by barbarians and there were few scholars. During the scientific examination, there were few talents. He didn't know at all that it was Regarding the issue of writing, he previously equated the quality of writing with the level of talent and learning. He never thought that writing is not equal to talent and learning.
When Zhu Biao said that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang miss Zhang Jiusi, he felt even more uncomfortable. The people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all said that they miss the King of Wu. He always thought that the King of Wu was himself, but he forgot about Zhang Jiusi. Jiu Si was also the King of Wu. At this time, the ministers said to him such things as thinking about King Wu, which made him sick as if he saw dead flies in the food. Now he just wanted to use a knife to kill all those people. Split.
Zhuo Qun didn't care what they thought. He received a message from the conference hall and asked Zhu Biao who would become the prince after his death.
That's what Zhuo Qun asked.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment.
"I have more than twenty brothers, but there are not many who can take over my position as the crown prince. If I have to choose, I can only choose from the King of Sai. They are all princes who founded the palace and built their own teeth. They all have their own teams. , which is good, after all, the country has a long-term king, which is the blessing of the country."
"How about Qin King Zhu Ping?"
Zhu Xi was the eldest son of the clan and was only one year younger than Zhu Biao. Once Zhu Biao died, he would be the eldest son.
"Brother? He can't do it. He has a violent temperament and is also lewd and drunken. He may not live long. Moreover, he can't even handle his own house. He even spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. If he hadn't been my brother, I would have beaten him long ago. Kill him."
Zhu Biao said through gritted teeth.
"Then why do you still want to protect him under the impeachment of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?"
"He is my brother. If I don't protect him, who will protect him? You must know that we are brothers. I have always helped my brothers but not helped them. Besides, I can only fight if they want to be beaten."
Zhu Biao said solemnly.
"Isn't there a saying that says, "It's better to help the manager than to help the bride?"
Zhuo Qun said.
"Fart, of course you have to help your relatives or not. You don't even help your relatives, but you still want to help others. Are you a bastard? I promised my mother that I must protect my brothers and sisters. I know that when my father gets angry, he will be disowned by all his relatives."
Zhu Biao immediately refuted Zhuo Qun's words.
"What about Jin King Zhu Fan?"
"No, Brother Fan has a murderous temperament and is too violent. He even beats and scolds his close associates. He is not a person who is popular among the public and his lifespan may not be long."
"How about King Zhu Di of Yan?"
"He is not bad, he is ambitious. Lan Yu told me at the beginning that he has the image of an emperor and can sit on the throne. I have always known that he has this intention."
Later, Zhu Biao commented on his other younger brothers.
Zhu Gui, the acting king, should not be released to the outside world. It is best to be confined to the palace in the capital. As for the reason, he was somewhat ashamed to mention it.
Su Wang Zhu Kai was too young and had never been on the battlefield. He seemed to be brave, but in fact he could not bear the responsibility.
King Zhu Zhi of the Liao Dynasty had repeatedly made military exploits and had no ambitions. He was a suitable frontier fortress king.
King Qing Zhu Zhuan had more than enough literary talent but not enough military skills to become the king of Sai.
King Ning Zhu Quan was brave and resourceful. He was an outstanding king of Sai, and his talents were not inferior to those of Zhu Di.
The king of the valley, Zhu Su, was brave and resourceful, but he was prone to pride and self-importance and behaved arrogantly. He could only lead troops to fight on the border.
King Zhu Song of Han has just been crowned, and his talents have not yet emerged. However, he is cautious, smart and alert, well-read, and has knowledge of ancient and modern times. He should be a wealthy and leisurely king.
