Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

When he heard the words "A woman can hold up half the sky" said by Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang almost couldn't hold back and laughed on the spot.

Li Shanchang was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would really listen to his previous advice and issue an order to dismiss the female workers in Yang Xian Textile Factory. Then Ma Xiuying blamed him for this matter.

We can only try our best to put things right.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a sullen face throughout the whole process, and finally pretended to reluctantly agree. After sending Li Shanchang away, he looked at Li Shanchang's retreating figure and laughed out loud.

At this point, it is exactly the same as Ma Xiuying before. The synchronization rate between the two can be said to be 100%.

This is what is called not being part of the same family, not being part of the same family.

Li Shanchang initially wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to issue an order to shut down Yang Xian's textile factory in Jiangnan, but now he wants to beg Zhu Yuanzhang to withdraw the order.

Over and over again, Li Shanchang became that pure clown.

He obviously wanted Yang Xian to die, but in the end he had to speak for Yang Xian.

This feeling, not to mention how bad it is, is as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

It’s really a matter of provoking whomever.

Li Shanchang secretly cursed bad luck, and when he left the palace with his son and daughter-in-law, he had a gloomy face the whole time.

"Father, what happened?" Li Qi asked.

Li Shanchang shook his head, looked at Princess Lin'an next to Li Qi, saluted her, and then returned directly to the house.

Princess Lin'an bowed in return. She looked at Li Shanchang's leaving figure, turned to look at her husband, and saw her husband's brows furrowed, looking worried.

Princess Lin'an patted Li Qi's hand and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Even if something does happen, I'm still here."

Even the two juniors saw that something was obviously wrong with Li Shanchang. If it were normal, they would not be able to see Li Shanchang's mood swings.

But it's no wonder that Li Shanchang was so out of character. If anyone else had faced Ma Xiuying, the battle would have been even worse than him.

Li Shanchang recalled that in the past ten or twenty years, he had never seen such an aggressive side of Ma Xiuying.

You must know that Ma Xiuying's image to outsiders has always been that of a person who understands the big picture and moisturizes the details silently.

This has been the case since the time when we conquered the world.

Ma Xiuying never personally taught the brothers and subordinates around Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because she knows that there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be done, and everything has its own limits.

If she did that, it would only make it difficult for her husband, Zhu Yuanzhang.

But that doesn't mean she can't.

Whether it was as their sister-in-law back then, as the wife of the rebel commander, or now as the empress of the Ming Dynasty.

If Ma Xiuying wants to teach someone a lesson, even if it is Xu Da, Tang and Zhu Yuanzhang's sworn brothers, it is not a big deal.

Being kind and generous does not mean being cowardly and without a bottom line.

Being a good wife and mother, and caring for the world does not mean that she has no means.

Quite the opposite.

Ma Xiuying's thinking and methods are among the best in the world.

At that time, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas for running the army were perfectly solved by Ma Xiuying's intelligence.

It's just that she is hidden behind the scenes.

But everything and everyone has a bottom line.

Empress Ma's intelligence was able to see through the nature of this incident at a glance.

Some people want to use the ethics of men and women to attack Yang Xian.

From Queen Ma's point of view, women in this world already have a hard enough life, and now they have to be taken advantage of.

This was something she couldn't tolerate.

Moreover, Yang Xian's words "A woman can hold up half the sky" through Wang Yuemin's mouth really touched Empress Ma, and it can be said that it touched the softest part of her heart.

In this era, a person who is in a high position can stand up and consider for these women and cheer for them.

How could Queen Ma be willing to let him down?

But when a person with a bodhisattva heart does thunderous things, it makes people even more frightened.

Li Shanchang still felt scared when he recalled the scene in Kunning Palace just now.

Now he can only place his hopes on Fang Xiaoru and his group of scholars, Li Shanchang thought to himself.

What Li Shanchang didn't know was that Fang Xiaoru, whom he had high hopes for, would probably never have a chance to turn around in this life.

Fang Xiaoru walked home in despair, with what Song Lian said to him that day echoing in his mind.

To this day, he still doesn't think he was wrong.

But he couldn't find anything to say to refute Yang Xian's words.

This kind of defeat, where you don't even know how you lost, is the most damaging thing to a person's confidence.

He needs to be alone.

But those friends who gathered because of Fang Xiaoru still did not give up hope.

Seeing Fang Xiaoru's demeanor, one of them quickly encouraged him: "Xizhi, don't give up hope so early. I heard that even Li Xiangguo supports us and will soon persuade His Majesty to shut down Yang Thief's textile factory. !”

Yang Xian, who was an enemy of Confucianism, had become a Yang thief among them.

Fang Xiaoru's eyes were empty and unresponsive.

Even the body moves forward mechanically.

For him, whether Li Xiangguo succeeded in persuading His Majesty to shut down Yang Xian's textile factory had nothing to do with him.

Even if Li Shanchang really succeeded, Fang Xiaoru could not convince himself.

Because there is no way to prove that what Yang Xian said is wrong, what Fang Xiaoru insists on is right.

If someone in a high and powerful position says what he says, then he doesn't even have a starting point. Yang Xian is a high-ranking Duke.

Fang Xiaoru was confused.

When he got home, he didn't say a word and just lay straight on the bed. The body has returned home, but the soul has long been lost in the debate in front of Yang Guogong's mansion.

After settling the disturbance caused by these scholars, Zhu Biao took Yang Xian into the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Xian and the two with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he had already known what happened in front of Yang Guogong's mansion just now.

Yang Xian saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression in his eyes and thought to himself that Lao Zhu had finally formed an organization similar to Jinyiwei.

But now, these people are still hiding in the dark, their functions are not obvious, and their main job is to secretly monitor the movements of officials. They are just an intelligence organization.

Unlike the Jin Yiwei of the original time and space, it is a secret service department that integrates functions such as guard duty, reconnaissance and arrest, and prison edicts.

Of course this is only a matter of time.

The three of them started to have an in-depth chat about this incident in the Imperial Study Room.

After all, Confucian issues are now on the table and must be faced.

"What we want to oppose is not Confucianism, but bad Confucianism and pseudo-Confucianism based on Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. What we want to oppose is all the backward ideas that cannot keep up with the development of the times and become a stumbling block in the development of the Ming Dynasty." Yang Xian started with a clear message and pointed directly. Understand the topic.

These ideal Confucian spirits did exist in the original Confucianism, but they were rarely implemented in Chinese history.

Every time a country is destroyed, a large number of Confucian scholars will turn into traitors. I hope to be appreciated by the new dynasty and continue to be an official, so that I can still bully the common people and enjoy the glory and wealth. Changing dynasties has no impact, just change the master and continue to live a good life! But once peacetime comes, those useless bookworms start to come out again and cry out to make money, in order to restore Confucianism, deceive the world and gain recognition.

The joke about water being too cold has been repeated over and over again in history.

The so-called "lack of propriety and music" actually means that the Confucian spirit cannot be corrected and the Confucian value system cannot be established. The result is the dross form and rigid teachings caused by the bad Confucianism in later generations. This not only brought great disaster to Chinese society, but also seriously damaged the image of Confucianism. In other words, Yang Xian believed that the spiritual elements of the original Confucianism were good, but they were ruined by the bad Confucianism of later generations.

The meaning of Confucius' "lord, king, minister, father, father and son" is definitely different from Dong Zhongshu's "three cardinal principles and five constant principles". What Confucius said, "Don't look at anything that's inappropriate, don't hear anything that's inappropriate, don't say anything that's inappropriate, and don't do anything that's inappropriate" is also completely different from Zhu Xi's saying, "Death by starvation is a small matter, but disobedience is a big deal."

The so-called Confucianism has never been about preserving natural principles and destroying human desires!

Some people in later Confucianism mixed too much of their own "private goods" into their interpretation of Confucianism. They borrowed the language of Confucius and Mencius to express the thoughts they wanted to express, and imposed their thoughts on On the head of Confucius and Mencius.

Then let Confucius and Mencius take the big blame.

Putting all this aside, as long as it hinders the development of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is the true theory of Confucius and Mencius, so long as what they talk about is dross, it should be swept into the trash can of history.

"Yang Xian is right. Any school of thought that is not conducive to our Ming Dynasty, whether it is called Taoism or Confucianism, must be put aside by us."

Zhu Yuanzhang had no psychological barriers to dealing with Confucianism because of his background and experience, because he was not superstitious in his heart.

If you really believed this, you wouldn't be able to quietly kill Prince Xiao Ming.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Xian and said: "If letting women come out to do things can greatly enhance the national strength of our Ming Dynasty, then do it. If any scholar dares to jump out, then we can only let him test whether the executioner's blade is sharp." ”

"In the Song Dynasty, Confucianism was in charge of both the inside and outside of the court, but it ended up throwing itself into the sea. Isn't this a lesson? The Mongols were in charge of China, where were the scholars? Now they are jumping out one by one, saying that this is not consistent. The old rules, there are violations of precedents, if we really believe what they say, this Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty of our Zhu family!"

"Confucianism is just one family and one word, which cannot replace the world. If one family and one word governs the world, wouldn't it mean that we are competing with our Zhu family for the world!"

Yang Xian was stunned. Although these words were a bit rough, they were not rough words!

He is indeed the Hongwu Emperor.

He did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang viewed Confucianism this way. Although it was different from what Yang Xian really wanted to express, this was indeed the perspective of an emperor who was in power!

This world belongs to my old Zhu family, so of course it must be managed according to my method and your Confucian method, so in the end is this world mine or your Confucian one?

For Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as it is a theory that can make Ming Dynasty powerful, then it should be reused.

It doesn't matter whether it is called Confucianism or Yang-style new learning.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this much more clearly than many emperors.

Throughout the dynasties, some emperors also understood that Confucianism was just a tool for them to control the world.

However, few emperors realized that Confucianism was also using emperors to achieve the purpose of controlling the world in another form.

The incompetent emperor became the puppet of those scholars!

This is the biggest secret of Confucianism. They elevated the emperor to the altar called the Son of Heaven, and at the same time put a bridle on the unscrupulous imperial power. Although we cannot directly cure you, you must listen to your father.

What, what does God say?

No, God is paying attention to His Majesty all the time.

Solar eclipses, earthquakes, floods, droughts, and locust plagues are all warnings from God to you; and auspicious things like good weather and sweet springs coming out of the earth are God's praise for you. Of course, the final interpretation of bad omens and auspiciousness lies in the hands of us Confucian scholars.

So after all is said and done, Emperor, you still have to listen to us scholars.

But in this case, as Lao Zhu said, this world belongs to your Confucian family, or to our Lao Zhu family!

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the world of his descendants in the Ming Dynasty was controlled by civil servants and scholars, he would be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin and slap him!

But for Yang Xian, this world is not a world for scholars, nor should it be a world for Lao Zhu's family.

Of course, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Xian are still on the same front, because they are on the same page and have the same goal.

At this moment they are fellow travelers.

Yang Xian glanced at the high-spirited Zhu Yuanzhang and shook his head secretly.

It's a pity that their final destination is not the same place.

What Yang Xian wants to oppose is not just as simple as feudal ethics.

This is just the first step.

When he thought that one day in the future, he and Lao Zhu would become strangers, Yang Xian felt a little complicated.

For the sake of Ming productivity, the first thing to do is to liberate women's minds.

It's easy to say, but not easy to do.

It is different from the era when female boxers and little fairies were popular in later generations.

In this era, some elderly people have been so poisoned by the old habits and ideas of the old times that they are determined to be unable to wake up. For example, when a crow crows in the morning, a young man doesn't mind, but a superstitious old man always feels depressed for a long time. Although it is very pitiful, it cannot be saved.

Let’s not talk about those with vested interests, and let’s not talk about men.

Even if they are women, not everyone is Queen Ma, Xu Miaoyun, or Wang Yuemin.

Especially some old women, they are victims of corrupt Confucianism, but they are also the defenders and enforcers of corrupt Confucianism.

Yes, the truth is sometimes so ridiculous.

We have no choice but to start with young people, even children, who are easily awakened, and completely liberate their minds.

At least let the next generation of children born in Ming Dynasty no longer have such shackles on their bodies.

For this reason, Yang Xian is willing to shoulder the burden of inheritance for the entire Ming Dynasty, shoulder the gate of darkness, and let the boys and girls of the Ming Dynasty go to a broad and bright place; from then on, they can live happily and live a reasonable life.

For those countless merit points.

Yang Xian is willing! (End of chapter)
