Ming dynasty

"Six skills to control the people? ? Zhu

Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a puzzled expression and asked in confusion:

"Father, why have you never heard of this kind of conspiracy?"

"Shouldn't it be true that water can carry a boat but also capsize it? We should care for the people and appease the people, so that we can have long-term peace and stability?"

Zhu Biao's expression was very confused. He didn't want to believe that the emperor's art he had learned could be so cruel and ruthless.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's face was expressionless. For him, fighting from the bottom to reach this supreme level position, some things have long been understood.

Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed a farmer, but it does not mean that his interests will always be consistent with those of the farmers. If this is the case, he will not be able to sit on the throne under his butt.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's Conghao When he came out of Zhoucheng, his identity had been transformed from a peasant to a warlord, and then he conquered the world and became the largest landlord in the world. The class he represented was the landlord gentry class.

Therefore, he was already familiar with Shang Yang's tricks. heart, and silentlyIn execution.

Although he also cracked down on corrupt officials, this was to maintain his rule. In the final analysis, the policies implemented by the Ming Dynasty were still based on foreign Confucianism and internal law.

On the surface, it talks about benevolence and morality, putting the people first, and putting the people first and last. But if you want to maintain the rule of the court, you secretly implement the same things as the Legalists.

Among them, Shang Yang's Six Techniques of Controlling the People were the rules followed by dynasties throughout the ages.

The people are indeed very important, because if these people do not have enough to eat and cannot survive, they will rise up and rebel. At that time, the world will be in chaos and the country will change hands.

But a wise monarch will not push the people to death. Instead, as written in Shang Jun's book, he will make the people poor so that they will not starve to death, but they will not become rich.

A strong country requires a weak people. This is the fundamental view of all feudal dynasties. This was certainly the case in the Ming Dynasty, and this was also the policy implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing Zhu Biao's eyes full of confusion, Zhu Yuanzhang became unusually serious and shouted softly:

"Biao'er, abandon your prejudices and take a good look at Tiandao's explanation. This explanation is clearer and clearer than what we have said."

"This has been the case in all dynasties since ancient times. When you understand the true meaning, you will understand the key to governing the world."

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang did not look at Zhu Biao anymore, but looked up in the air.

Because of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even he himself had to observe and practice it carefully, so as to integrate these scriptures and meanings into his own emperor's mind.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao He immediately opened his eyes wide, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief, and opened his mouth to say something.

But seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Biao finally swallowed his words, also frowned, and looked into the air.

And Zhu Di on the side , on the contrary, he didn’t think so much, and looked at the subtitles in mid-air with relish.

Big Han, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

"What's wrong with the Six Arts of Controlling the People? Emperor

Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che pointed in the air and asked:

"The common people are just unruly people. If they are not controlled and allowed to develop on their own, the world may become chaotic!"

"When the people are weak, the country is strong. Only when the people are weak can the authority of the court be strengthened."

"If these common people dare to confront the imperial court, what dignity does the imperial court have? If the imperial court lacks majesty, wouldn’t these unruly people rise up one after another, thinking that they are the true emperor?"

"It is enough for the people to work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and take good care of their own families."

"As for those major national affairs, I and other ministers will naturally handle them."

"The imperial court has its responsibilities, and the people also have their own affairs. The six skills of controlling the people are just to enable the people to do their own things well under the arrangement of the imperial court. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Liu Che looked at the ministers. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Shang Yang's six skills of controlling the people were naturally inherited perfectly by the Han Dynasty.

However, the emperors of the Han Dynasty, unlike Qin Shihuang, understood the importance of recuperation, so The Han Dynasty finally stabilized and did not give the remnants of the Six Kingdoms any chance.

By Liu Che's generation, the Han Dynasty's ruling methods had been relatively perfect, so Liu Che's understanding of the six skills of controlling the people was also deeper.

He He thought that the six skills of controlling the people were correct, but Dong Zhongshu beside him stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the Six Arts of Controlling the People are indeed wonderful, but they still have big flaws."

"oh? What flaw?"

"It is too cold and hard for the people to accept this statement. Dong

Zhongshu said slowly:

"If we can put a good-looking coat on the Six Arts of Controlling People, then everything will become perfect. Liu

Che said with some deep meaning:

"Three strategies of heaven and man? Dong

Zhongshu nodded excitedly and said:

"Your Majesty, the criminal law formulated by the Legalists is to govern the bodies of the people in the world."

"However, the three strategies of heaven and man are your majesty’s thoughts in governing the world. From now on, your majesty should be a man of heaven, supreme, and the imperial power is granted by heaven."

"Your Majesty is on behalf of Heaven, shepherding and guarding the people of the world, and your power is supreme. The people of the world should respect and honor Your Majesty."

"In this way, Your Majesty can completely unify the bodies and minds of the people in the world and completely complete the unfinished business of the First Emperor Yingzheng."

"The concept of the great unification of China will be realized in the hands of His Majesty!"

Dong Zhongshu became more and more excited as he talked, but Liu Che looked calm.

For him, he was already the supreme emperor, so there was no need to use superfluous measures, such as the divine right of kings?

But the unity of thought mentioned in the Three Strategies of Heaven and Man, It does have some meaning.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Che still issued an order:

"If this is the case, then we will implement it in accordance with the three policies of heaven and man. I will depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism!"...

【Shang Yang's policy of mistreating the people was to take away what the people already had and then give it to them, thus demonstrating the benevolence of the court.】

【He believed that appointing kind people to govern the world would lead to chaos, but only appointing evil people to govern kind people would bring order to the world.】

【There is a saying in the Book of Lord Shang: If you govern the people with kindness, the people will be close to each other; if you govern the people with evil, the people will be close to the system.】

【Take, then give; poor, then rich. The world can be lifted!】

【Shang Yang's requirements for ministers are to obey the master's laws, obey the master's actions, and concentrate on serving the master, he is a loyal minister.】

【Regarding the demands of the people, use your life in war, do your best in Anping, and obey orders if you are ignorant.】...Dividing line...
