First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 259: Master Zhang

Popular recommendation:

Zhang Ximeng wrote quickly and told Zhu Yuanzhang all his thoughts and thoughts. In fact, the official version has not yet come out, and the preemptive version has spread rapidly among the people.

The common people who participated in the trial, especially those who were close by, who could hear what Zhang Xiang said were all hooked, and they saw the sun through the clouds.

To say that the common people really understand what Zhang Ximeng said, it would be difficult for them, after all, even Li Shanchang and others sounded exhausting.

It is necessary to master enough historical knowledge, but also have enough vision, to be able to connect everything in series and integrate it, and it also involves many knowledge blind spots.

This is why Li Shanchang wanted Zhang Ximeng to write it, and they carefully studied it.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, the big guy can at least understand one thing, Zhang Xiang is for the big guy's good.

That's enough.

Secondly, this case is also equivalent to telling everyone that it is an irresistible trend for women to come out to do things. Wei Han was sentenced to beheading, and there were so many people who were imprisoned together. From top to bottom, no one could escape. .

This is not to find someone to blame at random, but to clean it up thoroughly and earnestly. The boldness of the pattern, the quickness of the action, and the neatness are unprecedented.

What's even worse is that Zhang Xiang and Li Xiang have the same opinion, including the Ministry of Punishment, who are clamoring to revise the laws and regulations. This huge momentum will overwhelm Mount Tai, and anyone who tries to contend will be smashed to pieces.

Yingtian's turmoil, naturally, spread to the front line of Hongdu.

Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered Hu Tingrui and others, and then attacked Fuzhou.

It's a time when they're fighting for the best in the world again. It stands to reason that they should be the protagonists. It's a pity that no matter how lively the fights are outside, it's not worth mentioning when compared with the changes that should be turned upside down every day.

But Zhang Ximeng sent what he wrote, and it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who was most anxious to see it, but the old man Zhu Sheng.

In fact, about the matter of raising the status of women, he has already agreed with 10,000 people, and he has also seen the power and the good intentions of Zhang Ximeng.

But his arsenic, your honey.

This is the way things in the world are, the position of the buttocks is different, and the right and wrong are also different.

Take Han Xiuniang's case as an example, the one who was directly involved was only the Jiangning county government office, at most the elders who helped Wei Han to raise the flag.

Others did not directly participate, and no one could sell so many people at once!

But before Zhang Ximeng spoke, why did everyone intentionally or unintentionally protect Wei Han and oppose letting women come out to do things? The instinct of most people, people have forgotten the reason for this arrangement in the first place.

Back then, in order to protect the power of animals, people who regarded cattle as sacred objects would never have imagined that, after thousands of years, even cow urine would be clean and hygienic.

What Zhang Ximeng wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally much more detailed. After Zhu Sheng read it, he was suddenly enlightened and woke up like a dream.

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

The tradition of men farming and women weaving can even be traced back three generations ago.

In the past few thousand years, although it is still the agricultural era, it is not without progress... For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the well-field system collapsed.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the population of the Central Plains increased and agricultural technology advanced, and a farmer could support more and more people.

This is the most fundamental logic of the development of productive forces and the foundation of everything.

Zhu Sheng has talked a lot with Zhang Ximeng, and he is not unfamiliar when he sees this, and he can quickly grasp the essence of it.

"The superiors all say that the general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be united for a long time. However, according to Zhang Xiang's view, it is equivalent to rewriting history!" Zhu Sheng praised: "During the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu practiced the three strategies of heaven and man, and advocated great unification. Help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to become an emperor through the ages. At that time, the scholars were still good, fighting with swords and horses, fighting on the battlefield, seeking fame, and even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were also many poets, hoping to make contributions in the frontier fortresses and seal their wives. Son, be famous all over the world."

Zhu Sheng said with a smile: "I read history books in the early years, and I felt that the Tang and Song Dynasties were only a few decades apart. How could the two worlds seem to be separated from each other, and they were completely different. At that time, I still couldn't understand, I only thought that the Tang Dynasty was more martial, Zhao Song Xiuwen, and their preferences were different. But now reading Zhang Xiang's article, I have a different understanding. Perhaps from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, it was just at a turning point. Intensive farming, the introduction of rice in the city, farmers cultivating fields, and the remaining grain More and more. The emperor of the Zhao family favored the scholars. The scholar-officials did not have to go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds. By studying the imperial examinations, they could become a high-ranking person and enjoy the worship of the common people. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's eagerness to learn, needless to say, and Zhang Ximeng was also his enlightenment teacher, so even in the face of such esoteric things, Lao Zhu can understand a little.

"Sure enough, according to Mr. Zhang's meaning, Confucianism has quietly changed between Tang and Song Dynasties, becoming a burden and shackles." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "And Neo-Confucianism is the master of the master, the one with the same surname as us, a legacy. Not shallow!"

Zhu Sheng took a deep breath. The great thing about Zhang Ximeng was that many people scolded Zhu Xi and opposed Neo-Confucianism. They were just scolding people. They were very shallow and not worth refuting.

However, Zhang Ximeng proved that Neo-Confucianism is a bastard.

Facing the progress of agriculture and the development of production, Neo-Confucianism did not follow the general trend, but stood in the position of the gentry and landlords, and kept putting shackles on the common people.

Keeping the principles of heaven and destroying people's desires, first let everyone stop thinking wildly, close your eyes, and pretend that the world has not changed, and the years are still good.

Next, they simply preached that starvation death was a small matter, but disobedience was a big deal, and women were locked up in their homes, and the entire nation’s sacrifices were used to meet the needs of scholars and officials to continue a comfortable life.

In the end, the bad result was that defeat after defeat allowed the Mongols to take over the world.

In the face of Mongolian iron hoofs, there are many scholars who value integrity more than anything else, and there are actually many people who bow their knees and surrender.

As long as I can guarantee that I eat delicious food and drink spicy food, who cares who becomes the emperor?

As for the literati's long-term goal of life, it has also changed from a norm to standardize the order to a tool in the hands of scholars. Anyway, whatever is beneficial to us, we will come...

Zhu Sheng kept sighing, sweating through his clothes, and said helplessly: "Master, if I hadn't read Zhang Xiang's article, I hardly knew the evil of literati and officials, and it has reached this point. Fortunately, Zhang Xiang sees the sun, otherwise, I would not have done this as soon as possible. I really don’t know what will happen in the future! Just this, Zhang Xiang is enough to keep pace with the ancient sages. It is really a gift from God to the superiors to be assisted by such wise men.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a while, thinking that he was the one who brought back Zhang Ximeng and saved his life. I didn't expect this kid to be able to help him so much.

"Mr. Fenglin, what do you think? Do you want to kill all those bastards!"

"Don't! Think carefully about this matter."

Zhu Sheng hurriedly stopped him. Of course he knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's methods. Zhang Ximeng showed all the abominations of those people. Even Li Shanchang had already attacked him. How could Zhu Yuanzhang be polite?

Don't you see, this guy's eyes are all red.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the shadow of his family in Zhang Ximeng's remarks... A theory can be recognized because evidence can be found in reality.

Take Zhang Ximeng, who said that the landlord used the land to tie the tenants, and Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately. Their family rented the land, and the old man often went to the landlord's house to help. die.

After renting and planting the land, he almost became a servant of the landlord's family.

Lao Zhu is deeply aware of this.

Just imagine, what would have happened if the Zhu family back then were collectively under the rule of Lao Zhu now?

First of all, there is a high probability that there is no need to rent the land, they will have a piece of land that belongs to them, and they do not need to pay rent to the landlord.

Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother, eldest sister, and second sister are all ingenious, and can enter the textile workshop to earn money to subsidize the family and feed the whole family.

Maybe you don't have to herd the cows, but go to the school to study.

The second brother does not have to be a son-in-law, but can be beautiful, marry a daughter-in-law, and live comfortably...

Zhu Yuanzhang gradually narrowed his eyes~www.readwn.com~ I wondered, would there still be a rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang at that time?

Probably not, maybe with his cleverness, he can pass the exam and become a clerk in the yamen... Then, in the envy of people, he will spend his life in a calm and down-to-earth way.

When he was old, he was surrounded by children and grandchildren, and he was respected by Mrs. Zhu.

Really good!

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly grinned and laughed.

Zhu Sheng was startled and hurriedly called out in a low voice, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he is such an adult, why are you still having that dream! Their family is hopeless, but under his rule, more people can live a happy life and make their dreams come true!

"Mr. Fenglin, if you stop us from killing people, naturally there is a better way?"

Zhu Sheng hurriedly said: "The superior, the person who should be killed, Li Xiang will not let go, but just now I suddenly thought that Zhang Xiang's writing is so clear and so good, I am afraid that it will be a family of its own. Why should we continue to use it? Song Confucianism's outdated arguments? Why not use Zhang Xiang's ideas to re-interpret the principles, formulate rules, and educate the officials and the common people?"

"Education of officials and people? How to educate them?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"Naturally, these articles are listed as compulsory items." Zhu Sheng smiled and said, "Isn't the superior in the army teaching the generals to read and write? Why not just let schools at all levels, including the military, study Zhang Xiang's students. The article, and then explained according to Zhang Xiang's annotations, as the content of the test, so that there is no need to worry about scholars who don't know these truths! It won't be long before Neo-Confucianism will be disintegrated! !"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he was very interested. He couldn't help but exclaim: "This is to replace Master Zhu with Master Zhang! Wonderful!"
