After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was very studious. Even if he didn't study much, he still had no difference in love, which was a well-known debate. The Mohist attacked Confucian hypocrisy, and Confucianism said that the Mohist was naive. After the death of the ancestor, these two families were divided into eight and Mohist three, and they were all divided into four parts.

The so-called scholar's rebellion will not last for three years. It is basically impossible to expect a group of literati to unite and do something big for a lofty mission.

Interestingly, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially after the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, many Confucian scholars have avoided this famous debate between Confucianism and Mohism, as if it had never existed.

They talk about benevolence and righteousness, kingly ways, and sages. They are unwilling to talk about whether there is any difference between love?

In fact, Confucianism advocates that love is different and that it is very realistic and correct to recommend oneself to others.

It makes no sense that you don’t love your own children, love other people’s children, love your own people, love your people, love others’ people. If you really do this, you will only be regarded as a fool, a brainless person, 25!

But the question is that since you understand so clearly, why no one dares to say it?

The truth is actually not complicated, because Confucian scholars of all generations, especially Neo-Confucianism, have praised the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues to an unparalleled level, and have become an unchangeable law of nature!

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are correct no matter when it reaches its peak. Therefore, starvation is small and loss of integrity is big.

In this case, there is no difference between benevolence and righteousness. It is to let go of the world and all over the world, regardless of China or the barbarians. Even if you know that those vassal states are capricious and greedy for money and profit, you still have to give them generous rewards, one is for the sake of the country's face, and the other is to maintain the "fairy tale world" in your heart.

No matter what theory is pushed to the extreme, it is a mistake. For example, a state in the Lighthouse Country thinks that public toilets are divided into men and women, which is unfair to the third type of people. Therefore, it is so good to set up a gender-free public toilet. After it is launched, all parents will stop doing it.

Damn it, what should you do if you do this? They don’t know anything, which toilet to go to? How can we educate our children to start from their ideals, but end in a farce.

Therefore, people really need to be more realistic, just like Confucianism, advocating that love is a bad thing is a good thing. Not only does it not require avoidance, it should also be vigorously promoted!

"The father had a dispute over the birthday celebration recently. The main reason is that some court officials felt that they should treat the foreign vassals with kindness and favor. They spared no expense and even opposed trade. The court should not make profits from the four barbarians, but should directly give them money and property to make the foreign vassals grateful. From then on, they would be willing to surrender and guard the four directions for the Ming Dynasty."

"fart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang swears directly, "According to what they say, why do I still station a million troops on the Nine Counties? As long as I give money and things, the barbarians from all sides will be honest. They are simply crazy! If I ask me to pay, why don't they take out their property and give it to the barbarians first, let me see if it's effective?"

Lao Zhu cursed for a while, rubbed his hands again, and suddenly said, "Do I need to confiscate the homes of these people and use their property to entertain foreign vassals?"

Zhu Biao's face changed color so much that his father had done what he said. It was too much to search the house and behead him because of such a thing.

"Father, the holy life is approaching. Please be kind to the emperor and do not raise a prison easily."

Lao Zhu took a deep breath and waved his hand impatiently, "You are so kind. When you become the emperor in the future, you will be bullied by those people."

Zhu Yuanzhang taught his son a lesson. He suddenly saw Liu Chun who had been bent and silent. Old Zhu coughed and said to Zhu Biao: "Remember your father's words. After you ascend the throne, you must use this kid more cough cough!" Old Zhu cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice and said: "This kid is full of colorful intestines and has more bad intentions than anyone else. Use him to fight poison with those people. This is to make the best use of people and use the best of their talents!"

After hearing this, Liu Chun almost blew his blood, so he wouldn't bully people like this?

"Your Majesty, I also act according to the teachings of sages. I can recite the Analects of Confucius. If you don't believe it, your Majesty can draw the questions now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "What's the use of memorizing it? Do you think those people really do what they do according to the teachings of sages? The saints have said so many things, and they say what is useful everywhere, throw the useless aside, and even tamper with the harmful ones! In a nutshell, they are all selfish people and those who are obsessed with profit!"

When it comes to officials, Lao Zhu is always full of anger.

"You guys, if you want to talk about it, you are better than them. You are greedy for money and not fame. How do they say it in the words of ordinary people? They want to be a bitch and want to set up a archway! It's really hateful!"

Liu Chun doesn't know how to say Lao Zhu.

If you scold the civil servant, you will scold me. Why do you have to pull me in? From beginning to end, I am a very honest and good person. I am so unfair!

Liu Chun was dejected and simply said nothing.

But Lao Zhu was very excited and very happy, "Crown Prince, this boy is not talking about love, but he reminded me. After saying so many things, what is the real intention of the sage? It has been a constant debate. The great scholars of all generations have different explanations. I have no good idea of ​​how to deal with it."

Zhu Biao didn't say anything, but smiled and glanced at Liu Chun.

Don’t forget that this incident was caused by him, just ask him!

"Boy, what do you think?"

Liu Chun blinked, thinking: "Your Majesty, I have no idea, but I am thinking, why are there any official correction envoys in all dynasties but no official sage theory? If there is a standard, you wouldn't say what you say, I'll talk about mine."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with his nose, "Isn't this an idea? Haven't you thought about all the solutions?"

Liu Chun lowered his head again and stared at the floor tiles in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and called Zhu Biao in front of him. The father and son excitedly discussed that Lao Zhu had not tried hard to unify his thoughts.

His deletion and modification of Mencius was the best proof, but Lao Zhu never thought that he could reinterpret the views of sages after he ascended the throne, he regarded Zhu Xi's theory as the standard. The imperial examination must be strictly followed by Zhu Xi's annotations and no additional performance is allowed.

But no matter how good Zhu Xi’s theory is, it is better to tailor it.

Just like this time, when acknowledging that love is different, when formulating foreign strategies, you can be solemnly valued by China and neglect the four barbarians. Promoting overseas trade, earning money, and enriching the country and the people will become things recognized by sages.

Anyone who dares to stop the Confucian ministers in the court will slap their ancestors in the face.

Zhu Yuanzhang became happier the more he thought about it. It’s wonderful, it’s so wonderful!

This kid Liu Chun is really bad, but it is really useful at critical moments!

Old Zhu waved at Liu Chun and called him over.

"I plan to summon knowledgeable people from all over the world to compile books together. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

What else can Liu Chun say? He can only apologize to Zhu Laosi in his heart: I'm sorry, the Yongle ceremony will probably become the Hongwu ceremony in advance.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself again: "It's a long time to practice such a great work. I'm now gray in my hair, and I don't know if I can see the day I will write it!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Father, let this matter be left to my son minister. My son minister will do his best to complete it as soon as possible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, "This time I am writing the book for the sake of my Zhu family's country and country, and I cannot just seek speed. I must practice perfectly. When this holy life is over, you will draw a strategy. By the way, if you have any questions, just look for this kid, he has many ideas."

I need to compile a book!

Will it be profitable?

Liu Chun's eyes turned and suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty said this, then I'll have a trick to write a great work. It's important. I think that measuring the influence of a book depends on the scope of circulation. It's like a great edict, which Your Majesty personally revised, and every household has one, so the people can understand the court's laws and obey Your Majesty's will. I think before I compile the great work, can I revise a few book to facilitate the circulation? Your Majesty can also measure the effect and make a decision!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath, which was a little reasonable. Although the great works were good, there might be a few people who could understand it. Lao Zhu hoped that every ordinary person would be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so the books he compiled should be like the Great Edict, and each person would have one!

"This suggestion is good, I agree." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little guilty. In terms of how many good suggestions Liu Chun had made, according to his contribution, he might be able to wear a big red robe as an official in the court, but now he is still an embarrassing official. What do outsiders think about it?

"I want to reward you!"

Lao Zhu was heartfelt this time, but Liu Chun, he was scared by the last time that he was exempted from death. If Lao Zhu did it again, he could not refuse.

"Your Majesty, I am just trying to say that if Your Majesty can hand over the printing of books to me, I will be very grateful!"

Zhu Biao hesitated and said, "What kind of reward do you want to print books for your father?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and his angry old face was distorted!
