Qiming 1158

Chapter 1642 "The Protector of Chinese Orthodox Culture"

Ming Dynasty is changing the old order.

Ping Qingsheng longed for power, status, and the summit of power, but he never thought of changing this order.

He himself is also one of the vested interests of this order. He is the son of a bureaucratic family from a samurai origin. He is also a ruling class, but his status is not as high as that of the royal family and nobles.

He wants to pursue a higher status in the existing system, make himself a noble in the true sense, take it to the next level, and satisfy his sense of glory.

He has done it now, the Heike family is already a well-known aristocratic family in Japan, with one person under ten thousand people, but there are still some guys who don't have long eyes who want to oppose him.

As long as he is given time, he can definitely get rid of these people.

And what about Su Yonglin?
The sky was pierced, and then the sky was recreated.

What worries Ping Qingsheng even more is that at that time, with the gradual arrival of the Southern Song Dynasty escapees and Goryeo escapees, Su Yonglin's "Hongwu Political Theory" also entered Japan at a certain point in time.

As a series of books written by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, "Hong Wu Zheng Lun" has received great attention in Japan.

Japan is deeply influenced by Han culture, and it also has a considerable degree of identification with Confucian culture.

Under the influence of cultural superiority, they believed that the Central Plains Empire was the true history of China, admired it, admired it, studied it hard, and even liked it to the point of wanting to take this culture as their own.

In the current state, they generally believe that a Han founding emperor who overthrew the alien regime, re-established the Han regime and recaptured the Central Plains was quite a great, hero, hero, and extraordinary man in heaven.

They believed that Su Yonglin's slogan [Expel the Tartars and restore China] was very appealing, and they were widely believed that the Ming regime established by Su Yonglin was more orthodox and more worthy of representing Chinese culture than the secluded Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he is more worried that Su Yonglin's statement will easily gain fans in Japan, and further generate internal instability, thereby affecting his rule.

It has to be said that Ping Qingsheng's concerns are not unreasonable.

Because Su Yonglin's theories have indeed exerted a lot of influence among the younger generation of the upper class in Japan, and among them, quite a number of people who agree with "Hongwu Zheng Lun" have indeed appeared.

These people who agree with Su Yonglin think that what Su Yonglin said is very reasonable. They believe that Confucian culture has experienced an irreversible decline and needs to be changed and needs to be changed.

Out of recognition of Su Yonglin's achievements, they further began to agree with Su Yonglin's idea of ​​saving the current situation, and then began to reflect on their own environment.

Su Yonglin is so powerful that he overthrew the alien regime that occupied the Central Plains and restored the rule of the Han family. This is a remarkable innovation in the Confucian cultural circle. matter.

So he rightfully enjoys a natural orthodoxy.

However, this orthodox emperor, who was extremely upright in his country from a traditional perspective, denied Confucian culture in his writings, and instead established his own set of theoretical systems, attributing his victory to this.

Like Goryeo, among the young people and a small number of old people in the upper ruling class in Japan, there are a group of people who are inclined towards Su Yonglin's writings.

But they are few in number.

Most people in the Japanese ruling class still hold a negative and fearful attitude towards Su Yonglin's thoughts.

Anyone who understands that this kind of thinking can destroy is definitely not only the Jin Kingdom, an alien dynasty, or Su Yonglin who doesn't care about aliens or not. What he focuses on is the rules of the entire era. They are afraid of this. So against this book.

Most people object to this book mainly because they oppose Su Yonglin's denial of the content of Confucian culture.

Anyway, it's hard to hear, and some people have even shouted that the Chinese culture has been destroyed by the Ming emperor and should be inherited and carried forward by our country.

Naturally, such remarks will not enter the eyes of real people who understand. People who understand are more worried that Su Yonglin's theory will destroy the foundation of their oppression and exploitation of the people.

After reading the two volumes of Hongwu's political theory, the eldest son of Ping Qingsheng, Ping Shigesheng, was very worried and suggested that Ping Qingsheng should imitate Goryeo and ban this book in Japan.

"This book clearly explains the truth of the world, ordinary people are fine, but those who are slightly dissatisfied with reality, even though they won't do what Emperor Ming has done, they can achieve it by deceiving people according to the above. It's not impossible to achieve your own goals."

Ping Qingsheng himself was also very worried about this.

"You are right, although it is impossible for them to oppose their own power and status, they may use this to confuse stupid people to form a powerful force and then oppose me. Afterwards, they became me, but I To be imprisoned.

Emperor Ming's book explained the truth too clearly and did not make any reservations at all. How could it be circulated on a large scale?I heard that Emperor Ming was selling this book publicly in Daming. Since he can travel across the ocean to Japan, he can go to any country if he wants to, what exactly does Emperor Ming want to do? "

Ping Zhongsheng could not judge this, but he still insisted that Ping Qingsheng ban the book, so as to prevent the book from being widely circulated and causing unforeseen disasters.

Ping Qingsheng accepted his suggestion, ordered the ban on Hongwu's political theory, and collected and burned the book in a centralized manner. It is strictly forbidden to circulate and communicate in private.

After the ban order was conveyed, Hong Wu's political comment did disappear in the public eye, but the private circulation could not be banned.

If some public officials want to hide a book secretly, even if Ping Qingsheng is clairvoyant, he may be powerless.

For this reason, Hei Qingsheng was still worried, and Hei Shigesheng designed it for him, using the ideas circulated in the circle of Japanese upper-class cultural people, to shape a golden body for Hei Qingsheng.

That is to say, the Ming Dynasty destroyed Chinese culture, and Chinese culture no longer exists in the mainland of China. Moreover, the Korean and South Vietnamese Li clans were destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and they no longer exist.

Therefore, Japan is the only place where the orthodox Chinese culture has been inherited, and the orthodox Chinese culture is now only in Japan.

An excellent footnote to this theory lies in the arrival of a large number of escapees from the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo.

They brought not only themselves and wealth, but also orthodox Confucian cultural knowledge.

Ping Chongsheng suggested that Ping Qingsheng should establish himself as a supporter of Confucian culture and an orthodox protector of Chinese culture, and use the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo escapees to publicize this idea, raise his value for himself, and gain access to the literati in the traditional cultural circle. support.

This can not only suppress the ideological threat of Hongwu's political theory, but also counteract the forces of those who oppose him in the circle of royal and aristocratic powers, making them in a dilemma because of their status as "protectors of Chinese orthodox culture".
