First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 214

Popular recommendation:

Zhu Yuanzhang's final decision was the end of this fierce debate... But the shock caused was far-reaching, the aftermath was rippling, and even intensified.

First of all, Lao Zhu gathered the three parties of the civil and military, regardless of whether the generals could not participate in the debate, but the big guy had his ears and understood something.

For example, Lee Sun Jang is like praising their enemies. Liu Bowen stood up, spoke up for the soldiers' brothers, and confronted Li Shanchang and the others.

As for Mr. Zhang, he not only stood on the side of the generals, but also went a step further, stood on the side of the common people, and was praised by the superior as the conscience of the Zhu family.

It's really incredible that a courtier can get such a high evaluation.

But on Zhang Ximeng, it was so appropriate.

The generals basically accepted Zhang Ximeng's love, and now they know that Mr. Zhang is really speaking for them, plus the iron proof of incorruptibility certified by thieves a while ago.

Zhang Ximeng has a good learning, a clean character, and he treats big guys with sincerity, standing on everyone's side... Just ask the army, who dares to disapprove!

Zhang Ximeng doesn't form a party, doesn't win over warriors, and doesn't gather a group of people for self-interest, but there is no doubt that Zhang Ximeng's words, these military generals, no one dares to ignore.

And the big guy also faintly sensed that as a rebel army dominated by poor people, they did have some differences, and they couldn't look at themselves with the old eyes. .

The response of the army was slow, moisturizing things silently.

But for the remaining two parties, it was immediate and shocking.

The first is Liu Bowen, who was the most active and always stood by Zhang Ximeng. But he just felt that he had to take care of his own feelings, and it was not appropriate to conjure the souls of Dayuan loyal ministers at this time.

But with the last paragraph of Zhang Ximeng, it is equivalent to telling everyone that even if the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, they should not conjure people like Shi Mo Yisun.

Because in addition to loyalty, there is a position!

Zhu Jiajun is a team composed of poor people. In the future, the country must also stand on the side of the poor. The core proposition is to divide the land equally... From this point of view, Shi Moyisun is not only the opponent of Zhu Jiajun, but the death of the Yuan Dynasty. Loyalty is as simple as that.

He is also a beneficiary of the Yuan Dynasty, a hereditary deputy ten thousand households, and the family property of land, needless to say. He fought with Zhu Jiajun to the end, even at the cost of his whole family's death, and it was also because of Zhu Jiajun's proposition that touched his roots!

"Brother Bowen, since this is the case, can you slow down a little bit and don't push too hard. If the Yuan court is full of people like Shi Mo Yisun, wouldn't it be difficult for us?" After Song Lian came back, he talked to Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen chuckled, "I said brother Jing Lian, why are you still confused?"

Song Lian was shocked, "What does this mean?"

"In the beginning, Zhang Xiang talked about the defeat of the Yuan court, dispelled the myth of us and others to change the dynasty, and proposed to expel the barbarians, restore China, divide the land equally, and relieve the people. At that time, I only thought that Zhang Xiang was a He wants to gather people's hearts, and now I can see that he wants to reshape morality and recreate the rules!"

Song Lian frowned. At first glance, he didn't believe it. After all, things that have been passed down for thousands of years are actually so easy to overthrow. He Zhang Ximeng is a human being, not a god!

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable.

"Brother Bowen, praising Shimo Yisun is because of the Confucianism and integrity... Zhang Xiang's last words are about Shimo Yisun oppressing the people and enjoying the fat of the people..."

"Yes! Brother Jing Lian is really sharp!" Liu Bowen leaned forward and said, "I can see at least three meanings in Zhang Xiang's words. One layer is deeper than the other, which makes me amazed, and the five bodies are thrown to the ground!"

Song Lian was horrified and hurriedly said, "I would like to hear the high talk!"

"This first layer is naturally to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. We can't leave our heroes alone and tout the enemy!"

Song Lian said: "That's right, Brother Bowen also thought of this layer."

Liu Bowen grinned wryly, he thought of this floor, but he did not expect the next two floors.

"The second level of Zhang Xiang's meaning is that the country is powerful and Confucianism is good... It is not the same thing as being good for the country, and respecting and honoring the general. There is a conflict between the state and Confucianism."

Song Lian pondered for a moment and tried hard to recall. He also has the talent to remember, and quickly said: "Mr. Fenglin took this trick. He is against the separation of Confucianism and the state."

Liu Bowen chuckled, "He is just arguing. If Zhang Xiang directly asks the superior, whether he wants the ministers to stand on the side of the country or on the side of the Confucianism, what do you think Zhu Sheng would answer?"

Song Lian couldn't help taking a breath, "It would be too cruel to do that."

Liu Bowen smiled, "That's right, this is where Zhang Xiang is kind, and his third layer falls on the people. Shimo Yisun's loyalty is not because he is a great person, but for his own self-interest! What is his self-interest? Is it worth taking the life of the whole family? This self-interest is to oppress the common people, that is to smash the bones and **** the marrow, that is, to oppose Juntian to the death, and do not want to let the people benefit! What kind of loyal person?"

Song Lian was quite shocked. After sorting it out a little, he also understood what Liu Bowen meant...Although Confucianism also puts the people first, followed by the government and the people...but the core of Confucianism is the general morality.

Especially after the rise of Neo-Confucianism, there is a tendency to just talk about things like rationality, qi, xinxing, etc. No matter how you promote them, they are still in the circle of scholars and officials, and things that amuse themselves, completely separate from the common people, and float in the sky.

The matter of Shi Mo Yisun clearly exposed the shortcomings of the Confucian evaluation system... Because according to the Confucian point of view, this person is a standard righteous person, even if he is an enemy, he should be respected and his loyalty should be praised.

But there is no doubt that if you do this, some people will definitely not understand it, and it will even affect the morale of the military.

If there is no Zhang Ximeng, they must be arguing with each other.

But Zhang Ximeng gave a more advanced answer.

Let's see if Shimo Yisun is really on the side of the common people?

Obviously not!

He is the hereditary deputy ten thousand households of the Yuan Dynasty. For the sake of the Yuan Dynasty, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his entire family to fight against the Zhu Jiajun to the end... How could he accept Juntian and Zhu Jiajun's proposition.

From the standpoint of the common people, after being truly grounded, and then looking at Shi Mo Yisun, he is a die-hard bastard! There is no sympathy at all, and the arrows pierced through his body, which simply cheapened him.

The death of the whole family is nothing more than getting rid of a group of scourges.

Whoever opposes the common people should end up like this!

Song Lian's body trembled and woke up like a dream, "I understand, just as Brother Bowen said... Since these sixteen words, Zhang Xiang is re-interpreting the general rules and redefining morality!"

Liu Bowen laughed, "That's right! The superior has an imperial mind and covers the world; Zhang Xiang has a pattern of sages and sages, penetrating the past and present! The sages and worthy ministers, who can get one, the world will be ruled. Now there are two of them here, to expel the Hulu, ZTE Huaxia, the great cause can be expected!"

Song Lian was even more shocked. After being silent for a long time, he slowly said, "Brother Bowen, it seems that you are going to follow Zhang Xiang to the death?"

"Yeah! In the past, we used to draw the ground as a prison and encircled ourselves. The vision of the pattern was too low. Brother Jing Lian, this is a great opportunity that has not been seen in a thousand years. Don't miss it!" Liu Bowen said eagerly.

Song Lian snorted, "Me? I'm just playing with a pen, but I don't necessarily have such great ability. But I'm still willing to wave the flag for Zhang Xiang, and be a little humble."

Liu Bowen nodded happily, although Zhang Ximeng didn't join the party, but in any case, if there is not enough support for such a big business structure, it will definitely not work.

This is about Li Shanchang and others.

In fact, the conflict between them and Zhang Ximeng still lies in their attitude towards the common people. It is difficult for them to truly accept whether the common people are benefiting as a yardstick!

There are too many people who treat the common people just as fish and meat, and they can only continue to fish.

Behind the defense of Confucianism, they are defending their own interests.

In other words, these people have the intention to replace the people of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although it is only a few signs, it cannot be added to the crime. The current Lao Li is still Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate, the most capable minister, and his work ability is ridiculously strong. He mobilizes resources and maintains logistics. He is a genius among geniuses.

But according to this trend, the battle is still to come.

Liu Bowen turned into a die-hard fan of Zhang Ximeng, actively running around to attract more like-minded people.

In addition to these three parties, there is another party that is the most critical, and that is Zhu Yuanzhang!

He finally set the tone, and at the same time left Zhang Ximeng behind for further discussion.

"Sir, we all understand what he said, and we take it seriously. But if it wasn't for Mr.'s advice, we might have really listened to those people and buried that grandson!"

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing, "My lord, there is actually another layer of truth... In dealing with the case of Hu Sanshe, the lord's intuition is right, the country's laws are the most important, even if the generals defect, they will not hesitate. As long as the law is the first, You can't be wrong. Don't let the so-called morality confuse your mind. It's not that morality is not important, and legal principles are also human.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt something in his heart. In fact, he has realized the key behind this... As the leader, he has the ultimate law enforcement power and legal rules, and he is the one who has the final say.

But morality is different, especially Confucianism in the end, the right to interpret is not in his hands.

"Mr. is always thinking for our sake, and we have written it down in our hearts... But there is one more thing. If you want to really reshape Gangchang, this matter is probably not easy! It is not something that can be decided in a few words here."

Zhang Ximeng nodded vigorously, "My lord is wise, in fact, we pay tribute to Zongze and explain history, that's what we are doing... Now there are loyal and brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and we must be rewarded heavily. Disposing of Hu Sanshe is the first and reward of national law. Loyalty and brave soldiers are clear honors and disgrace. As for that grandson—just distinguish the enemy from me! So organized, the lord will naturally be able to win people's hearts and be invincible!"

Hearing Zhang Ximeng say this, Lao Zhu laughed heartily and was convinced.

Passed, completely passed!

"Sir, we plan to go to Zhuji to visit the soldiers and implement what Mr. said." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then said, "We are going to give the sacrificed soldiers twice as much land, eliminating the need for their family to pay for their fields and paying them back. They have to arrange school for their children, and even more have to establish a monument in their hometown..." Lao Zhu said a lot in one breath, and he almost covered it all.

"Do you think there is anything else to add, sir?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "My lord has already said it, if I had to tell me, in addition to these real things, we must honor the sacrificed soldiers and make them superior to others. When I mention them, everyone gives them a thumbs up! See it as a role model, not a talented scholar who can only read."
