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

Is Chapter 341 really appropriate?

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "How much money will it cost to build the statue of the Three Emperors?"

"At least 5000 million taels." Liu Bowen said.

"It's okay, 5000 million taels is not too much." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Lu Chang, the president of the Bank of Gold, couldn't stand it anymore, "Although Daming's treasury is abundant now, it can't afford such extravagant spending. Your Majesty has never seen so much silver, and he has never given it away. Became silver." He felt that the current Emperor Zhu was like a rural nouveau riche who suddenly became rich and had no plan for spending money.

"Bold!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

"The emperor forgives the crime, but the old minister just feels sorry for the money in the treasury." Lu Chang boldly said without any fear.He is very clear about the emperor's disposition. Although he killed extremely decisively, it was aimed at criminals.

The emperor never killed innocent people indiscriminately.

History is written by the victors, and some benevolent emperors and famous ministers touted in history books actually harm the country and the people.However, some tyrants and treacherous ministers are actually people with lofty ideals who really care about the people.

History pens are in the hands of civil servants and gentry groups, and the emperor is kind to the upper nobles, so of course they will praise him in history books.

Whenever the emperor violated their interests, they would be written as a tyrant and a faint king.

As a veteran of the two dynasties, Lu Chang certainly has a clear understanding of this.

In fact, many ministers also see it very clearly, but they don't say it out loud.

There are a lot of smart people in Huaxia, and everyone has already seen the essence of many things.

And when you see it, you still have to pretend not to know it, like Qianlong holding back in the abyss, waiting for the time to rush out of the abyss and soaring nine days, that is the real maturity.How could there be an old saying that misfortune comes out of your mouth?
"Forget it, we don't bother to argue with you when you are old." Zhu Yuanzhang said flatly.

Fortunately, he met Zhu Yuanzhang. If he met Cixi, he would have already received a lunch box.When Cixi played chess with others, when a horse was eaten, she killed the whole family of others.

Emperor Zhu relied on real knives and real guns to conquer the country. If he didn't even have this kind of measure, he would definitely not be able to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year King.

"This is the portrait of the Three Emperors painted by the minister, please have a look at it." Liu Bowen said, he is a master of painting and calligraphy.

After the eunuch submitted it, it was the same as the rendering of the Jixia Academy just now, and the emperor ordered someone to open it and watch it with the officials.

I saw the faces of the three emperors on the screen be kind, solemn and sacred.

Among them, the emperor Fuxi and the emperor Nuwa are ancient gods with a human head and a snake body.

The second emperor holds the 'regulation' in one hand and the 'moment' in the other.

'Gauge' and 'moment' are two tools used by ancient carpenters to draw circles and draw squares.

Represents the round sky and the earth, and the rules of the world.

The Emperor Xuanyuan, on the other hand, wears a nine-pronged crown on his head, pointing his fingers at the great rivers and mountains of China.

"Nice drawing!"

"Dean Liu's painting is so good!"

"Such a sacred and majestic statue of the Three Chinese Ancestors makes people want to worship them. After all, the Three Sovereigns are our common ancestors."

"They must be able to replace the people's belief in Confucianism."

When the ministers saw it, they said one after another.

"No!" However, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The statues of the Three Emperors must be changed, and they must be greatly changed!"

"Why?" Yang Xian asked in surprise, "Dean Liu's painting is already very good, is there anything wrong?"

"Please correct the emperor." Liu Bowen said.

"The Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Earth hold the rules and the rules, and their intention is to make rules for the people of the world." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We just broke the Confucian hierarchy rules, and we want to replace the people with new rules?"

"In this case, what's the point of sweeping away Confucianism?"

"Our Great Ming's world emphasizes equality, freedom, and the equality of the people in the world."

"Letting the statues of the Three Emperors follow the rules is simply contrary to the original intention of equality and freedom. We want to share the world with the people, not to override the people and treat them as slaves."

"It's because I made a mistake in the painting. I haven't understood what the emperor meant. Please forgive me." Liu Bowen was sweating profusely when he heard this, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty.

"It's not your fault." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "After all, you have been deeply influenced by Confucianism. It's understandable that you can't change it for a while."

"Not only you, but everyone in the court, including the people all over the world, are deeply affected by it. Therefore, when everyone is doing things, they will unconsciously follow the Confucian rules."

"I think back then, when we were farmers, when we saw those officials, we subconsciously felt weak and subconsciously unconfident. Although we kept telling ourselves in our hearts that they were nothing special, it was obviously pale and powerless. Can't help myself."

"This is all because of Confucianism's hierarchical thinking, which has penetrated into our bones long ago."

"If there were no Confucianism to divide people into three, six, nine, etc. thousands of years, it would definitely not be the case."

"The true equality and freedom are when the common people see anyone, and they can subconsciously feel that we are the same."

"How to change it, please show the emperor." Liu Bowen heard the words.

He murmured in his heart: This Emperor Zhu is too deeply influenced by Qin Yu!

It's almost like being brainwashed.

I think everything he said is true.

"Emperor Fuxi wants to hold Tai Chi gossip in his hand, which symbolizes the subjects of the world, and is as free as all kinds of creatures in the world. There must be Hetu Luoshu on the base of the statue, which is our unique culture. It must be engraved on it, so that future generations Always remember." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "There should be a broken cage on the base of the statue, which symbolizes the breaking of the Confucian classification of people."

"The statue of the Goddess Nuwa uses clay to create a human image, and at the same time demonstrates her merits of refining stones to mend the sky."

"Holding under the base, the descendants of Yan and Huang are all made by Nuwa, the mother of the earth. They are born equal, and there is no distinction between high and low."

"Human Emperor Huangdi, don't use the image of an emperor, but use his image of flying a dragon."

"We are originally the descendants of dragons. If all of us descendants of dragons do not fight against each other and can unite as one, we will surely make our Ming Dynasty soar into the sky like the Yellow Emperor."

"According to the order!"

"The emperor changed it too well!"

"The emperor's change like this is simply the finishing touch."

The ministers said in succession.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has always wanted to say something, and if he said it, he was afraid that the Emperor would blame him. If he didn't say it, it would be like a bone stuck in his throat." Li Shan said long.

"You say." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"In our Ming Dynasty, is it really appropriate to practice equality and freedom in the world?" Li Shan asked long.

"Why, do you dare to question Mr. Qin?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly with a frozen expression.In the past, he adopted Qin Yu's many decisions and achieved great success. Daming has become rich and strong.

Therefore, all the suggestions he gave Qin Yu were regarded as the advice of an immortal.

But he didn't know that when he was discussing this topic with Qin Yu, Qin Yu just followed his train of thought to flirt.
