Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 53 The Dynasty of Flowing Water!A thousand-year-old family!
"Hey--"

After listening to the information of Juggernaut Changhong.

Comrade Zhu let out a long sigh, looking a little helpless.

The defeat of Yangzhou City cannot be blamed on the Ming officials here. After all, it is only three or four months before Zhang Shicheng is destroyed. In addition, there is a serious shortage of officials. There is only one Yangzhou master in charge of the overall situation. This bald city has regained its former prosperity.

That is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

no way.

During Zhang Shicheng's reign.

Those corrupt officials, as well as the king of Wu, who was indulging in wine pools and meat forests, tried their best to squeeze the people.

but.

Even today's Yangzhou City is already in this miserable state.

However, this is still the territory of Ming Dynasty, and it is still under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang, so even if the governance needs to pay a double price, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, must rebuild this prosperous city in the past!
Comrade Zhu has no airs.

Sitting casually on a rock by the side of the road, looking at the people around him, he asked.

Here.

It can be regarded as a small court meeting.

Juggernaut Changhong, Prince Zhu Biao, and Mr. Qingtian Liu Bowen are the core.

Assisted by Zhu Bing, Zhu Bing, Yang Xian and others.

As for little Zhu Di, this 'rebellious son' is still lying on horseback, and the injuries on his back and butt probably cannot support him to participate in this small court meeting.

"What do you think the current Yangzhou City needs to be governed to recover?"

"Your Majesty, although I, Ming, opened the civil and military department last year and selected a lot of talents, compared with today's huge empire, there is still a shortage of talents. With the imperial examinations not fully restored Next, I'm afraid there is only—"

Liu Bowen seemed hesitant to speak.

he knows.

This approach will definitely cause His Majesty's displeasure, but as a courtier of Ming Dynasty, this is the best solution now.

"Only what?"

"The only way to temporarily compromise with the Kong family and the Zhang family is to select excellent talents from among them to temporarily alleviate the shortage of talents in our Ming Dynasty. Only after the imperial examinations are fully restored later can we select talents by ourselves."

Liu Bowen's suggestion is the simplest and rudest.

Exactly.

A dynasty of flowing water, a family of a thousand years.

Throughout China's 5000 years of history, the two most famous millennium families are "South Zhang and North Kong".

Beikong refers to the Confucius family in the north.

The descendants of Confucius can be regarded as the family with the clearest and longest inheritance in China.

Since Confucius, the descendants of the Confucian family have taken the responsibility of spreading Confucianism and carried the banner of the development of Confucianism. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "dismissed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism", the status of Confucianism has improved. As the founder of the mountain, Confucius' status is also natural. Just improved.

From the Western Han Dynasty to modern times.

The feudal dynasties of all dynasties sealed Confucius and his descendants.

Among them, the famous one is that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty once bestowed the title on the descendants of Confucius. Kong Teng, the eighth grandson, was enshrined as the king. .

Confucius' family is also known as "the first family in the world".

Nanzhang refers to the family of Zhang Tianshi in the south.

Zhang Daoling is the founder of Taoism, and his descendants have always inherited the post of celestial master, and the inheritance has been passed down for a long time.

According to legend, Zhang Tianshi once practiced the elixir "Dan Chenglonghuxian" in Longhu Mountain.

So Longhu Mountain got its name from it.

The Heavenly Master Dao he founded, the highest leader is the Heavenly Master.

And his descendants have always inherited the position of celestial master and are responsible for the task of spreading Taoism.

According to the Taoist scriptures, "On September [-]th, the second year of Yongshou, I went to Yuntai to govern. I used Yu Dan, seals, swords, and talismans to teach Ziheng and said: "I met the Supreme Master and passed it on to Taoism. All merits are the main points.One son from generation to generation will take over my position, and it cannot be passed on to descendants who are not my clan's relatives. "

Thus established the inheritance system of celestial masters.

As the number one religion in China, Taoism has always had an extremely deep belief foundation and a huge belief group, whether in the royal family or the common people.

One is in charge of Confucianism and the other is in charge of Confucianism.

These two families are very powerful. In order to consolidate their power, the emperors of all dynasties often invited their clansmen to take up official positions.

Even the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty.

It will also look at the huge influence of the Kong family and give them enough face.

of course.

When the Song Dynasty was in survival and death, when the court was changing.

Those disciples of the Confucian family who enjoyed high officials and generous salaries, except for a very small number who died loyally to the country, most of them defected and directly joined the Yuan Dynasty, which was in full swing at that time, and even became the leading party. The behavior is disgusting .

Even, it is reasonable to submit to the new dynasty, and then become their "Yan Shenggong", this is the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor" they have always promoted.

As for the Kong family, it is precisely because of this vacillating practice that they have been able to continue to this day.

of course.

This is also the way of their family's survival.

After all, it was really hard to come to the end, and the Kong family had been killed by those Yuan Dynasty tartars long ago, so how could they still be active until now.

The situation of the Zhang family will not be mentioned for the time being.

This practice of the Kong family really displeased Comrade Zhu.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kong family's influence was too great, he wouldn't even want to use those superfluous things.

"Use the Kong family and the Zhang family?"

"Yes."

"Is it necessary?"

"If Your Majesty wants to quickly replenish the officials from all over the country, for the present plan, the only way is to invite the children of the Kong family. Although they may not be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, their ability is worthy of recognition."

Although he, Liu Bowen, is also a 'Confucian', learning Confucian knowledge.

But, to be honest, he didn't think much of the Kong family.

The speed of the surrender was outrageous.

The emperor of the previous dynasty treated you well. He wanted officials, officials, names, land, land, and money. As a result, when the new dynasty came, they all bowed their heads and forgot about the previous kindness in an instant. clean and dry.

Except for a very small number of bloody Kong family members, almost everyone else has this kind of virtue.

"Humph--"

"Then let's give them a chance."

"Leave this matter to Bowen, and ask them if there is any family member who wants to become an official."

"Of course, it's up to us to decide what official positions to put them in."

"In the previous dynasties, their children had the privilege of being promoted when they held official positions, but here, they don't work well. They will be promoted only if they make political achievements, and we will leave if they don't make political achievements."

"."

Old Comrade Zhu snorted coldly and said.

If those disciples of the Kong family were really talented, he wouldn't mind using them.

but.

Now they want to rely on the prestige of the Kong family.

From the very beginning, if you want to rise to the top, become prosperous, or even use power to overwhelm others, then Comrade Zhu will definitely not spoil them. When he was fighting the world with him, he didn’t see them. Now he wants to share the merits , just want to pick the fruit?
Under the sun.

Where is such a good thing?
