Can you live forever

Chapter 206 Donglin Academy, Fated Reunion

Xu Jie has clearly understood the operation of society and the nature of power.

The greatest capital of the gentry class is the right to speak. In the past, they could only turn black and white, and could not directly turn the right to speak into power. But if the emperor is removed, the right to speak will directly become power.

Not just them.

There are also businessmen who will rush to this new system, because money can turn ghosts.

The merchants will directly gain state power, and the gentry will also merge with the merchants to form a new group. They can control the right to speak, control the lifeline of the economy, and control the government.

Isn't this better than the old time set?
Everyone can earn more benefits without being restricted by the old system, and they don't have an emperor who holds "supreme power" over their heads.

There will be no one to judge them again.

Banning the emperor is not something that Xu Jie came up with now, but has had this idea since the Northern Song Dynasty.

Since the creation of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the emperor gathered the strength of poor scholars to fight against the powerful, so the literati were on the side of the emperor. After the Five Dynasties, the powerful were eliminated, and the scholar-bureaucrats themselves became the ruling class. In fact, they no longer wanted the emperor. up.

Therefore, there will be a saying that "the Holy Son of Heaven will rule with his arch".

They don't want the emperor to be in charge, they want the emperor to be a mascot, but since Xia Qi created the world and Qin Shihuang established a centralized system of power.

The existence of the emperor is an inertia, and the scholar-bureaucrats have not thought of any way to ban the emperor, so they just try to turn the emperor into a puppet.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty was even more beyond their control.

There have been emperors in all dynasties, and Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the trend to become the emperor, but Zhu Yuanzhang is different from the previous emperors. Not only is he not as easy to control as those emperors in the Song Dynasty, he is also on the side of the people!

How tragic was the struggle during the Hongwu period, how many people died in order to fight against the imperial power.

So, they got scared.

They have also strengthened their determination to eliminate the existence of the emperor. No matter whether the subsequent emperor has this ability, they don't even want to keep the power in name, and they will not allow a second Zhu Yuanzhang to appear.

Xu Jie just did what the scholar-bureaucrats always wanted to do, and just proposed a perfect solution.

before this.

It is difficult to rebel, and it is even more difficult to directly eliminate the existence of the emperor. That is to say, now that Jiajing wants to set off a trend of thinking that the world is for the public, and when the ban is opened, they will have a way to break the situation!
The emperor has many rights.

When people see the emperor, they only think of the emperor handling state affairs. In fact, they don't know that the emperor's more critical powers are supervision and judgment.

It's not that there can't be no emperor.

But you overthrew the emperor, you have to master the ability to supervise and judge by yourself.

You cannot count on their self-realization.

In fact, they never had this self-consciousness. Yan Na only felt excited. He was already imagining the kind of freedom where the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the sea is wide.

"Zisheng has such a clever strategy, the defeat of Yangzhou is nothing but a trivial matter."

"Nanjing princes will definitely not neglect Zisheng, they need a good strategy to break the situation, Zisheng will be reused soon!"

Yan Na is very happy.

But Xu Jie didn't have the idea of ​​going to Nanjing to offer advice right now, he shook his head and said, "Come on tight, no one will pay attention to it, you have to wait for them to invite me."

"When Xia Yan's head is broken and the situation is in danger, they will know that only I, Xu Jie, can defeat Jiajing."

"Before this."

"I'm going back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to give lectures. Let's set up a school first, look for like-minded people with lofty ideals, and seize the name of the world as a public."

"Jiajing did a lot, but said little."

"We have to talk more and not do anything, first to seize the righteousness of the world, and then we can deal with Jiajing later."

Yan Na doesn't doubt Xu Jie at all now, he is unconditionally convinced and implements, he asked: "Where is Zisheng going to give lectures? Yingtian Academy, Bailudong Academy, or Yuelu Academy?"

Xu Jie looked in the direction of Wuxi and said, "I'm going to Donglin Academy."

"Donglin Academy? Isn't it deserted?"

"Just fix it."

……

Zhang Zhixiang found that Xu Jie was difficult to deal with at the very beginning, so during the battle of luck, he wanted to use the long whale to kill Xu Jie directly to avoid future troubles, but Fei Hong risked his life to save Xu Jie, and he had no choice but to let Xu Jie escape.

If there were any mistakes or omissions, it was that he hadn't thought that there would be such a life-sacrificing friendship among the gentry.

Although Zhang Zhixiang doesn't know what Xu Jie is going to do, the fact is that Zhang Zhixiang's premonition is right, Xu Jie will be a very troublesome opponent.

Of course, if he knew what Xu Jie wanted to do, Zhang Zhixiang would temporarily spare his life instead.

Because, after the gentry merged with the businessman, it will become...

Capital is a hurdle that human civilization cannot get around.

Only by defeating it head-on can civilization get rid of the so-called law of historical cycles.

Or rather.

It is to draw an end to the bureaucratic monarchy that has lasted for more than 2000 years since Qin Shihuang.

Hegel said that the history of China is boring and has been repeated. This is extremely arrogant and vicious. Hegel only saw the land annexation and the equalization of land under the change of dynasties, but did not see the changes in the ruling class and the emperor. .

Aristocrats—gentry—capital.

It has its historical context, and Zhou Tianzi-Qin Shihuang-Zhu Yuanzhang also has its historical context.

The brutal definition of Chinese history as infinite repetition is to deny the development of Chinese civilization and the origin of human civilization, so that they do not understand how capital was born and how to truly solve capital.

E.g.

Human society is divided into five stages: primitive society, slave society, feudal society...

This is completely ignoring "centralization".

As for the concept of "the development of things is a spiral".

They have this point of view because they don't understand Chinese history at all. The development of history has not spiraled upwards, but Chinese civilization has been advancing, and it has been changing throughout the dynasties. Before the Qing Dynasty, there was no turning back!

Even if there is Man Qing driving backwards.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty is also "one whale falls and all things are born". There is no learning from the east and the west, so there is no rise of the west later. The so-called Renaissance has always been nothing but a re-enactment of literature and art.

Human civilization has always been pioneered by the Chinese civilization.

The so-called spiral is nothing more than the rise and fall of Chinese civilization. When it declines, civilization will regress. When it rises, civilization will move forward. When Chinese civilization perishes, there will be no concept of advancing and developing human civilization.

because.

Barbarians can't learn the word morality.

because.

The knowledge of internal calculation is the endogenous driving force for the development of civilization. Without internal calculation, it is like cultivating without cultivating sexual skills. The higher the level of cultivation, the easier it is to go crazy...

If you practice martial arts without practicing kung fu, it will be nothing when you grow old.
