After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 326 Jixia Academy
"Change the pillars!?" Zhu Yuanzhang trembled when he heard this.

For the idiom Qin Yu said, he has experienced it personally in the past few days.Shut all civil and military officials outside, and sit alone in Fengtian Temple to command the overall situation, and fight alone against the Confucianism that has lasted for thousands of years.

It's not that he doesn't want a helper, but that there is no one in the world who can fight side by side with him.

Now in the territory of Ming Dynasty, large-scale scholar rebellions broke out in all provinces.

The people's hearts are unstable, and Daming can be said to be precarious.

It was he alone who was struggling to keep the building of Daming from collapsing.

And his great strength to keep the building from falling down comes from his complete control over the five armies' governor's mansion, otherwise he would not be able to control the situation.

It is indeed like a giant, using his strong shoulders to support Daming's beam, barely keeping the building from falling down.

He felt the pressure on his shoulders, unprecedentedly great.

Next, Da Ming must be replaced with a pillar, otherwise he won't last long.

"That's right." Qin Yu said, "Looking at all the emperors in Chinese history, Zhu Yuanzhang is probably the only one who can complete the replacement of pillars."

"Any other emperor would not have this ability. Qin Shihuang? Han Gaozu, Han Wudi, Song Taizu, Li Er... They are all powerless, because they are all backed by aristocratic families, and they alone are not so powerful."

Zhu Yuanzhang has no regrets to get such an evaluation from Mr.Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart, we are changing the joists and pillars, and Mr. is our instructor, and he will guide us which one to change.

Asked: "Then, sir, what kind of giant tree is the pillar of the Dynasty Building that will not fall down for a thousand years?"

"Here, let's talk about faith first." Qin Yu said: "It's not that I don't have faith in Huaxia, but I don't have firm faith, so it's constantly changing."

"For example, among the emperors of all dynasties, there were Emperor Wu of Liang, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wu Zetian, and Emperor Shizu of Qing Dynasty who believed in Buddhism; there were emperors who exterminated Buddhism, such as Sanwu Yizong; those who believed in Taoism were emperors, and of course there were more Confucian emperors who ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety... "

"Why can't these kinds of beliefs last long after various attempts?"

"Because these beliefs cannot bring practical benefits to the people of the world."

"A belief that cannot allow the people to live a better life will eventually be abandoned by the people of the world."

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Sir, you are right. If you believe in a god, this god will lead you to the abyss, to darkness, and people will stop believing in him in the end."

"It's just, which belief can bring light to the Chinese people?"

"Beliefs that can bring light to China and are suitable for the country of China's love cannot be copied from foreign countries." Qin Yu also thought while talking, "You can't just import a belief from a foreign country and think it is suitable for China."

"For example, Hong Xiuquan moved from abroad to worship God, but it turned out to be of no use."

"The founders of Gentile beliefs are not Chinese, and their beliefs are only suitable for themselves. The beliefs of Gentiles do not have the foundation of the general public in China."

"So our beliefs need to be found from our history and the answers from our native beliefs. That is suitable for the national conditions of the feudal dynasty established by the Chinese people."

After hearing Qin Yu's prompt, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about it, but still had no clue.

"I still hope Mr. Qin will give advice!" After he couldn't figure it out, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed to Qin Yu and asked for advice humbly.

"Jixia Academy!" Qin Yu said four words.

"Jixia School Palace!?" Zhu Yuanzhang trembled when he heard the words, and said: "In the past, Duke Huan of Qi established the Jixia Palace, set up the title of a doctor, and attracted sages to respect and favor him. Meng Ke's disciples all traveled in Qi..."

"That's right!" Qin Yu said, "Jixia Academy mainly focuses on Huang Lao's studies and is compatible with all schools of thought."

"During the time of Duke Huan of Qi, the Jixia Academy was full of talented people. It was the center of a hundred schools of thought contending for culture during the Warring States Period, as well as the center of Eastern academic culture. It made the Chinese culture at that time the brightest star in Chinese history."

"A thousand years ahead of the world!"

"Compared with other vassal states, the Jixia School played a very important role, and it also strengthened the prestige of Qi. At that time, all countries regarded Qi as a state of hard work, respect for the virtuous and corporal, and a state of etiquette."

"That is to say, without Jixia Academy, there would be no contention among a hundred schools of thought."

"It is precisely because of the free ecology of Jixia Academy that Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism... all schools of thought appeared. Confucius, Laozi, Mozi and other educators, thinkers, and philosophers appeared."

"Jixia Academy provided them with an ecology of free play. It greatly inspired the wisdom and ideological potential of the descendants of Yan and Huang at that time."

"Let the land of China at that time be full of sage-like talents!" "If the Jixia Academy is built again, maybe there will be a few more Confucius, Laozi, Mozi..."

……

"Jixia Academy is mainly based on Huang Lao's academics!" Qin Yudao, "The 'Huang' in Huang Lao's academics refers to the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor not only has great martial arts, but also has outstanding achievements in cultural governance. He is a model of governance."

"Looking at the thousands of years of Chinese history, all dynasties that used the rule of Huang and Lao were in their heyday. For example, the rule of Wenjing and the prosperity of Zhenguan. The dynasties at that time did not pick up lost things on the road, and did not close their doors at night."

"Sir, what you said really touched our hearts." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang admired the rule of Huang Lao from the bottom of his heart. He had never read a book, but he memorized the "Tao Te Ching" thoroughly.

Emperor Zhu said in the preface of "Imperial Notes on the Tao Te Ching": Although I am poor in talent, I only know that this scripture is the root of all things, the master of kings, and the ultimate treasure of subjects. It is not the art of golden elixir.

"But I remember what you said before, I should go to cultivate immortals and not participate in governing the country..." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"That's right." Qin Yu said, "I said this just for the trick of fooling the people, and for the phrase 'The one who is good for the way is not to understand the people. The people are difficult to govern because of their wisdom.'"

"As for traditional culture, although we have to discard its dross, we must also take its essence."

"Remember, for any traditional culture, we cannot kill it with a stick, or regard it as a hadith."

"So, even if the established Jixia Academy is mainly based on Huang Lao, it is also Huang Lao's school after discarding his dross. It is necessary to mix advanced ideas of freedom and equality into it."

"The "Tao Te Ching" itself also said that everything is not static."

"We can't stick to things that were thousands of years ago, just keep the essence."

"Furthermore, Lao Tzu added the remarks of fooling the people to the "Tao Te Ching" to a large extent to cater to the rulers at the time. Otherwise, it might not be published. In fact, fooling the people was not his intention."

"What's more, Huang Lao's art is mainly based on Huang!"

"Yellow is the main one, and old is the second!"
