First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 68

The father and son walked around the imperial garden alone, and saw a few concubines far away on the road, they did not dare to speak up, they all saluted to avoid it.

Zhu Biao recalled the face of Duke Yansheng and said, "My son, it seems that Duke Yansheng's body is not very good."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Last year we called Kong Kejian to see him, but he said he was sick in bed, so he sent his son to explain the reason why his father couldn't come to congratulate the new emperor. We immediately gave Kong Kejian a "hand letter". It clearly states that "sickness is not acceptable".

Zhu Biao laughed when he heard the words. This is why Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, could do such a thing. Even the Yuan and Qing dynasties respected the Duke Yansheng's mansion on the face of it.

Zhu Biao pointedly said: "The Confucius family is too noble in the hearts of the world, not only the civil servants but also the two princes greeted them in person."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank: "It's just Li Shanchang, Tang and that guy also join in the fun!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "My son sees that the situation in the DPRK is already a bit tense, and my son still wants to ask the godfather, how should we deal with this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Just after the founding of the country, the power of Wu Xun was huge. Originally, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun fought abroad, so Li Shanchang was the leader of the Huaixi party. Now Xu Da and Chang Yuchun have divided a lot of Li Shanchang's authority. Tang He considers himself the boss. , I don't want to be under the subordinates of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, so I got close to Li Shanchang."

Then he stopped and pointed to his son: "The current situation is actually very good. Li Shan is in charge of Wen, and Xu Da is often Yu Chun in martial arts. These people are not in the same mind."

"In addition to these two factions, there is the royalist party headed by Li Wenzhong, and the three factions are the imperial censors headed by Liu Bowen, plus the pro-military commander's office to supervise the Quartet. Under such mutual checks and balances, the emperor's authority can be revealed! "

Zhu Biao sternly bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang to express his education. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times and pulled his son up, and then the father and son went to have lunch together.

In the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Li Shanchang to represent him and hosted Duke Yansheng. Everyone at the meal was silent, and the people in Duke Yansheng's mansion looked uneasy. This was the emperor's attitude towards them. After Li Shanchang said a few scenes No longer the enthusiasm of the morning.

The next morning, Zhu Biao first went to have breakfast with Zhu Yuanzhang and then went to Fengtian Temple together.

The father and son stepped up from the side, Zhu Biao stopped on the sixth floor, turned around and stood on the throne to start.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat directly on the throne and swept the tiger's eyes, and all the ministers knelt down neatly and shouted long live!

Zhu Yuanzhang said that all the Qing family members were flat, and when they got up, he said, "I heard that Duke Yan Sheng is here, Xuan come in!"

After a while, Kong Kejian, Duke Yansheng, was helped in by his son Kong Xixue, and the father and son knelt down with difficulty.

So everyone just watched silently, the dark cloud in the hearts of the two of them was thicker, and Emperor Ming did not even say a polite word...

"Chen Kong Kejian and his son see my emperor. Long live my emperor! Long live!"

A little smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face and said: "The Qing family has worked hard for a long time, so let's be flat!"

The father and son stood up after thanking him. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him how old he was, and Kong Kejian said he was 53 years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are still young and you are sick. I can't bear to add another official position, so let's rest for now!"

Kong Xixue was about to say something, but was stopped by Kong Kejian. He looked up at the calm Zhu family above and bowed his head to thank them. There was no other way. The Yuan Dynasty still needed the Kong family to support their legitimacy, but Daming didn't need it!

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately announced that he would give Kong Kejian's house a district, a horse, and twenty stones of rice. Then Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Biao: "The descendants of the sages should be gifted with courtesy, and they should be raised with money instead of doing anything!"

After Zhu Biao heard it, he immediately bowed to his promise. This was the chance to become an official of the Confucius family. The Duke of Yansheng Kong Kejian, who was named a sacrificial wine in the Imperial College in the Yuan Dynasty, was also a big official, but in the Ming Dynasty he had no official position and no position. , which is also interesting.

After that, no one took care of the Kong family and his son. The imperial court began to operate and handle its various affairs. In fact, the main thing was to restore people's livelihood. Places such as Yangzhou should be paid close attention to rebuilding.

Zhu Biao silently absorbed the advice of the ministers and the decision of Zhu Yuanzhang, all of which were valuable treasures.

After the next court, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Kong Kejian, Duke Yansheng, to the Jinshen Hall for talks. Zhu Biao did not join in the fun, and directly led Chang Yuchun and others back to the East Palace.

The matters in the Northern Expedition Army have been arranged almost, and Zhu Biao arranged a few small things and let them go.

Nuan Yu walked in and poured him a cup of hot tea. Zhu Biao directly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. Nuan Yu was naturally hot, and it was very comfortable to hold.

Nuan Yu was a little shy at first, but after seeing that His Highness was just holding her, she felt relieved, her big eyes narrowed into crescents and leaning tightly against Zhu Biao's arms, feeling Zhu Biao's warmth.

Zhu Biao leaned against the chair with Nuan Yu in his arms. The hall was magnificent and a little empty. There were only a pair of teenagers and girls sitting on the throne.

Zhu Biao contentedly closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, gently touching Nuan Yu's back, thinking about the Kong family.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's father and son against the Confucius family, in the final analysis, is a dispute over the line to govern the world.The ancients have long had the so-called "governance" and "Taoism" to govern the world.

In short, "governance" refers to the exercise of actual political power to govern the world; while "daotong" refers to the ideas and theories that govern society and guide various relationships in society.

"Governance" is inherited by the kings who master powerful state machinery, and its power can be seen everywhere; while "Taoism" seems to be relatively illusory, but its influence is subtle and long-standing.

The ancient literati regarded "Taoism" as extremely sacred. Therefore, in ancient times, there were many literati, even if they lived in remote and remote areas, and their families were scattered, but when they had the opportunity, they still pointed out the country, stimulated the writing, and laughed at the situation, as if no one was around.

The reason is that they believe that they are the heirs of "Taoism".

The lineage of emperors is "governance", while the lineage of Confucianism is "the line of Taoism". The emperors of the past dynasties also recognized the "daoism" of Confucianism.

However, when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, this set of things didn't work. He not only wanted to be the emperor who controlled political power, but also to be the "historic leader" of ideology.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the sick Duke Yansheng to come to Nanjing to meet him as soon as he founded the country, because what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted was not only the attitude of the descendants of the sage towards his emerging dynasty, but also to delete all symbols representing "Taoism".Let the people of the world understand that it is no longer enough to look at the old yellow calendar.

Try to see that in today's realm, it is no longer the world of Confucianism, but the world of the Zhu Ming Dynasty!
