Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 251 The Road Not Envisioned

"Brother, what does the Song Dynasty have to do with us? The Mongols have already been driven to Mobei by us, and the Khitans and Jurchens don't exist anymore. Why worry so much?" Li Shanchang said with a wry smile.

"The Mongols are not finished yet, and they will make a comeback if they relax a bit. The Jurchens are still under the rule of Beiyuan, and have not disappeared..." Liu Bowen said in a deep voice: "As long as we follow the old path of the Song Dynasty, believe us , they will all make a comeback, and we will surely repeat the same mistakes!"

"Scaremongering, brother Bowen." Li Shanchang didn't know why Liu Bowen became like this.

It's like he never knew that in the future, Daming would also sink into the land of Shenzhou and lose his clothes...

After seeing the future, Liu Bowen's greatest wish now is to change the future, so that Daming will not repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty, and the Han family's clothes will last forever.

That's why he was extremely disgusted with the Song Dynasty's system of "the monarch and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world", "emphasis on literature and suppression of military affairs", and "checks and balances on power division".

Li Shanchang couldn't understand Liu Bowen's mood, but he knew very well that only Liu Bowen could save those officials now.

In case of difficulty, finding Liu Ji is the magic weapon he has been upholding for the past 20 years...

But this time he was going to be disappointed, even though he had worn his lips, Liu Bowen still refused to help.

~~
"Okay, you oppose the joint governance of the monarch and his ministers, so you want the emperor to be the sole husband?" Li Shanchang asked helplessly.

"Mingjun's dictatorship is not a bad thing. Especially for the Ming Dynasty who is waiting for prosperity." Liu Bowen said lightly: "I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can be called great Mingjun."

"You are confused!" Li Shanchang said in a low voice: "Yes, you read more than I do. Then you should be more clear. If you don't make a good start at the founding of the country, it will be extremely difficult for future generations to reform."

"Yeah." Liu Bowen nodded without denying it.

"You should also be clear that father and son succeed each other, and it is impossible for each generation to be a Mingjun. The old man has no doubt that the superior and the prince, and even the grandson taught by the superior and the prince, will be a generation of Mingjun. But what about in the future? Born in deep In the palace, the future emperor who is good at women's hands can easily be usurped by eunuchs and relatives! Isn't that how Han and Tang Dynasties died?"

"But the Han and Tang Dynasties were able to fight well in the end." Before Liu Bowen thought about the future route, he mainly judged the quality of a dynasty system by whether he could fight in the end.

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the barbarians could still be frightened, and Tubo could be destroyed before Tang died. This is beyond the imagination of the Song Dynasty."

"Before the Northern Song Dynasty died, Liao was also destroyed..." Li Shanchang argued in a low voice.

"It's just stupid speculation." Liu Bowen responded with a pessimistic look.

"Northern Song Dynasty has never been weak. Didn't Yue Fei and Han Shizhong beat Jin Chao to the bum?" Li Shanchang objected.

"I am the son of the Han family, and I am invincible." Liu Bowen said proudly: "This just shows that there is something wrong with the Song system."

"Why did you come back again?" Li Shanchang couldn't understand, why did Liu Bowen worry about the subjugation of the country all day long? "Based on the righteousness of the current emperor's position. That is something that should be worried about after many generations."

"As the grand master said, if we don't make a good start at the founding of the country, it will be very difficult for future generations to reform the system." Liu Bowen countered with his words: "So this head must be made a good start."

"One monarch ruled by himself, once there is a lone husband and a traitor to the people, the people will be miserable." Li Shanchang continued to argue: "The emperor does not distinguish between family and country, treats the world as private property, and treats all officials as domestic slaves. Is that what you want to see?"

"It's really bad for the officials, but what's wrong with the common people?" Liu Bowen said indifferently: "Even if the emperor regards the world as his private property and the people as cattle and horses, he must always plan for his descendants and cannot ruin his own property." Light, but also let the cattle and horses recuperate.

"But it is not the case when the scholar-bureaucrats govern. The world is not their own property, and the people are not their own cattle and horses. Naturally, they will not cherish them. They only think about how to take advantage of the period of their reign to turn the emperor's property into their own property. When the new official When I take office, I also want a piece of my own property...

"I would like to ask the grand master, is it easy to satisfy the emperor's family; or is it more burdensome for the people to satisfy the scholar-bureaucrats of thousands of families in addition to the emperor?"

"Brother, don't forget your identity. You are a scholar-bureaucrat, not an emperor, nor a commoner! Don't sit on your ass!" Li Shanchang raised his voice and said angrily.

"Because I am a scholar-bureaucrat, I know that the scholar-officials have a dignified appearance, but they are actually greedy and selfish. The Song Dynasty ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and the Jin Dynasty shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. It happened to be the time when my Han Dynasty was the weakest. This is definitely not a coincidence!" Liu Bowen said deeply. Channel:
"If there is a choice, I would rather choose the emperor to share the world with the people!"

"Sharing the world with the common people? What's the difference between ruling by one monarch?" Li Shanchang couldn't help laughing and said, "A group of mud-legged people know how to govern the country? Do they have that ability? Are they worthy?"

"My ideal of 'sharing the world with the people' is not a disguised one-monarch rule, but a real channel for the people to rise. Ordinary soldiers can worship thousands of households and seal their wives and sons with their military merits!
"The son of a farmer can also read and write, and step into an official career step by step. Instead of letting the scholar-bureaucrats monopolize all the room for advancement, this is what I think of the king and the people sharing the world."

"Then you can persuade your superiors to reopen the imperial examination!" Li Shanchang said loudly.

"The threshold of the imperial examination is too high. How can ordinary people study hard for more than ten years? Isn't it still monopolized by the gentry in the end?" Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "I think the common people trained by the emperor have a few years of study in the Imperial Academy. Years, with more experience and experience, governing the country will be no problem at all."

"Crazy, crazy! You are absolutely crazy!" Li Shanchang looked at Liu Bowen with a pale face, feeling that this old enemy had become so strange and so crazy.

In addition, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was not in the mood to eat breakfast. He suddenly felt dizzy.

Thinking that there was still a piece of candy in the sleeve, he quickly took it out and peeled off the candy wrapper.

"..." Seeing the color of the candy paper, Liu Bowen wanted to stop it.

Li Shanchang has already eaten it.

Liu Bowen had no choice but to shut up.

After a long delay, Li Shanchang's face gradually turned red, and he stood up and said: "Differences in the ways are not conspiring with each other, today's trip, it is my fault."

"It's not a day or two since we parted ways." Liu Bowen smiled indifferently.

"Farewell." Li Shanchang cupped his hands and hurried away without looking back.

"Let's go now, don't you eat at home?" Liu Bowen looked at his back with a smile.

"Another day..." Li Shanchang's voice trembled, and his walking posture was unnatural.

But holding the belief that 'you can't die socially like Liu Bowen', he gritted his teeth and insisted on getting into his carriage.

puff……
