The Holy Emperor believes in clear righteousness, respects virtue and repays merit, and governs the world with dignity.
This is the ideal state of the Confucian world recorded in the Book of Documents. The Ming Dynasty was when this state was achieved.
Those famous ministers would have gone down in history in any dynasty in the ancient Xia Dynasty, but now they all appeared in the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty an unavoidable hurdle in ancient times, even if it was How did the Manchu Qing Dynasty later vilify the Ming Dynasty, but the stars in the Ming Dynasty were still shining brightly.
However, this kind of shining stars is accompanied by the emperor's personal safety.
Those emperors with great ambitions would not live long, and they might be saved from drowning at some point.
Those emperors who want to do something will not live long. They may not know when, but a bowl of spiritual dew drink or a red pill.
If you are an emperor with little ability, then you can live peacefully until your natural death. The premise is that you can be scolded and can endure the whole world calling you a fool. If you can endure it, you can survive.
This is why Zhu Biao said that those famous ministers had all abilities but no loyalty at all.
But it is amazing to say that in the Ming Dynasty, when Confucianism had become a religion, none of the famous disciples who could get ahead were serious Confucian scholars. They were all just chuanzi, and everyone had learned a few things. It belongs to other families, but each of these people has become a famous minister. Not only in this period, but in all dynasties, none of the famous ministers became famous ministers solely relying on Confucianism.
And those orthodox famous disciples who have not learned other schools’ knowledge. But all of them are lords who bring disaster to the country and the people. For example, once in the past dynasties, when all the people are prosperous and the pure Confucian disciples completely occupy the court, then the dynasty is not far from destruction.
But now Zhu Biao doesn't want to worry about this. He only knows that those guys in the court have no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism at all, but they have a real desire to limit the imperial power.
This made him very unhappy, not just him, but any emperor with a brain would be unhappy. Since he is unhappy, he must also make the civil servants in the court unhappy.
What is the easiest way to make Confucians unhappy? The first is to throw Mohists over, the second is to throw Yang Zhu over, and the third is to throw Legalists over.
But what Zhu Biao is doing now is to throw the Legalists over and let the Legalists fight against the Confucians and find something for the Confucians to do. This saves them from working against him all day long and not doing anything important at all. , but he is good at finding faults.
Now that Zhu Biao has been arranged, he can be more relaxed, but he asked another question.
"What do you think we should do with Qi Tai, Huang Ziteng and Fang Xiaoru? Although these people are a little less capable, their loyalty is still no problem."
Zhu Biao asked, looking at the three people eating fruit.
"Hiss!"×3
When the three of them heard these names, they couldn't help but gasp.
Why have you forgotten these three guys? These days, I have been going to fight Zhu Yunzhen, and I have forgotten these three capable men who established the Wen Dynasty and removed the feudal vassal.
"It's better for eldest brother Gan Gang to make the decision. After all, although these people are less talented, they are commendable for their loyalty. At least they are more loyal than most people."
Zhu Ru gritted his teeth and said, he really didn't want to say this, but who made him the youngest in this room? His three brothers were all looking at him. If he didn't say anything, who would, but he decided, When he gets back, he will break Zhu Yunwen's legs again. All the mistakes he made are all the fault of this little bastard.
It's okay to hit him no matter what.
Zhu Biao also nodded after hearing Zhu Xi's words. These people still have loyalty, but this ability... Zhu Biao can't think of how to evaluate the abilities of these people.
This can no longer be explained by lack of ability. If these people were not at least from the Yi tribe, Zhu Biao doubted whether these people were arranged by his fourth brother, otherwise he would not be able to explain the stupid moves of these people.
But when I think of Zhu Di, I think of another person, no, not a person but a monk.
"Monk Daoyan, Yao, Guang, Xiao!"
Zhu Biao said the name word by word and crushed the walnuts in his hand.
"Brother, why are you mentioning Yao Guangxiao?"
Zhu Xi asked, this question is not for Zhu Xi to ask. This is a question for King Sai. Zhu Xi is a rich and idle king. He can listen to such things, but he cannot ask.
"Tell me, second child, whether it was the fourth child who became ambitious, or Yao Guangxiao who aroused his ambition. Then why did Yao Guangxiao arouse the ambition of the fourth child?"
Although Zhu Biao initially asked the fourth child Zhu Di if he had any ambitions, in fact he thought it was Yao Guangxiao who aroused Zhu Di's ambitions.
"He wanted to verify the knowledge he had learned throughout his life. When he saw the fourth child, his first words were: I will serve the king with a white hat. What does it mean to be a king with a white hat? Isn't it just the king plus white? To put it bluntly, he He is inciting the fourth child to rebel. Even if he is not the fourth child, he will say this to any king of Sai. This is a madman!"
Zhu Xi took a sip of tea and said.
Yao Guangxiao rebelled just for the sake of rebellion. He had only one purpose, to verify his ability and check his level of resourcefulness. To put it bluntly, it is to let others know his level through rebellious behavior.
Yao Guangxiao knew that once he rebelled, he would be infamy for a long time regardless of success or failure. He doesn't care. For people like him, fame is nothing more than an external possession. What he wants is process. He accepts failure. Success shows his ability, but the results are not what he needs.
This kind of person is the most terrifying. He has ideals (to rebel), ambitions (to help others rebel), and has the ability, scheming, and means to achieve his goals. Moreover, he also has a persevering heart and extremely firm willpower, which allows him to be indomitable. This is the most terrifying character.
See the world as a chessboard, and place the pieces as you please. The world is a board, all the people are your sons, and the world is under your control. Treat the country as a canvas, swipe your pen and ink wantonly, and the country as a painting, write without regrets, depicting thousands of miles of blood.
This kind of person does not want to leave a name and become a saint, but to tell the world that I came, I saw, I left traces, and I have a seat in this history.
"I want to take him in and let him be used by me."
"Brother, he was the mastermind behind the Fourth Brother's rebellion. Can you tolerate him?"
Zhu Fan looked at the confident Zhu Biao and asked, "Are you sure he will come and follow you?"
"He can do it. I need his abilities. I also have a place and opportunity for him to display his talents. As for him being the mastermind of Lao Si's rebellion? Haha! No one among the kings in the world dares to rebel for one day after I reign. Even if I withdraw the feudal vassal today, none of you would dare to say no."
Zhu Biao asked the three of them with a smile.
