Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 1026: The Hidden Mystery of Education

"Zhongba, you have been an emperor, and you should have heard a saying."

"The most important affairs of a country are war and sacrifice!"

"Do you know what this means?"

Since Master Hu wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the truth, he naturally would not hide it any longer and would just tell him the truth.

It explains it directly to people from the bottom up.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew people's habits and answered in a proper manner.

"Well, we've heard this before. It means that the emperor should value military power and the right to sacrifice the most!"

"Well, Chongba, think about it. Everyone knows that military power is important. After all, having more soldiers and more generals means you are more confident. But why is the power of sacrifice so important? Have you ever thought about it?"

"I've thought about it. I feel that the right to offer sacrifices is actually to prove the legitimacy of the emperor!"

"Without the right to offer sacrifices, or in other words, if these sacrifices are not done properly, then the emperor's position would not be so legitimate?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he became more and more unconfident.

Because as he was speaking he felt that there was something wrong with what he said.

Why is this so awkward?

However, Master Hu was quite calm and nodded directly.

"That's right, that's the way it is. In our Han Dynasty, what matters is legitimacy."

"So, for us, you can't break the rules!"

"Zhongba, you actually agree with this, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously.

He is an extremely traditional person, and he really agrees with this.

The necessary rules must exist!
But Master Hu smiled playfully.

"Well, Lao Zhu, think about this, who made this rule?"

"You obviously have soldiers, generals, and food, but why do you have to follow their rules?"

hiss……

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and looked at Master Hu in horror.

But Mr. Hu nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it's what you think."

"These rules have actually been set by scholars from past dynasties."

"If you want to be the emperor and ascend to the throne smoothly, you must follow their rules."

"Because the rules they set have long been deeply rooted in people's minds."

"If you don't do this, then the people of the world will be in conflict. If an opponent shows up at this time, it will be fun."

Oh……

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in understanding.

So this is the routine.

Damn, what a thief.

But Mr. Hu’s story continued.

"The reason why I started with the saying that the most important affairs of a country are military affairs and sacrifices is that I want you to have a deeper understanding of the meaning behind this saying."

"And this will also make it easier for you to understand what this rule is all about!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently.

Obviously, if he didn't care before, now his scalp was tingling.

He looked at Master Hu in surprise and doubt.

"Weiyong is also a scholar, he won't set a trap for us, right?" Master Hu was about to continue talking, after all, which master doesn't have the problem of being a teacher?

But when I looked up and saw the old face opposite me, which was almost wrinkled with a worried expression, I thought about it for a moment and felt happy.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhu, Zhu Chongba, what are you worried about?"

"If I really set a trap for you, will you be able to see it?"

"Hahaha, with your brain, isn't it like a piece of cake for me to trick you?"

"I think highly of you, so I'm telling you something serious. If you continue like this, I'll stop you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually calmed down by Mr. Hu's blatant "humiliation".

Because he really felt that if Hu Weiyong wanted to trick him, he would be unable to defeat him.

I won’t go into the details of the numerous tricks he used, the key point is that this old guy is shameless enough.

That's really the kind of person who can lower himself to play with others.

When you meet someone who is smart, treacherous, and most importantly, has no bottom line, it is best to admit defeat when the time comes.

This is the true truth that Zhu Yuanzhang deeply understood when he was still a small leader in the rebel army.

So, he just bowed.

"Please give me some advice, Weiyong!"

Got it!
Since the great Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was so understanding, Mr. Hu stopped teasing him and said with a smile while crossing his legs.

"Well, don't worry, I'll explain everything to you, and then you can discuss with Biao'er how to make the arrangements."

"We are relatives now. Although I can't and don't want to do everything for you, I can at least help you two avoid falling into the trap a few times!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned when he heard this.

This is true!

Wow, marrying Yue'er as my daughter-in-law is such a worthwhile decision.

Not only can she give birth to children for our Zhu family, but she can also make our Zhu family's business flourish, and at the same time keep our "home" in order.

In addition to these benefits, a Mr. Hu is also given as a gift!

This is simply the best deal in the world!
value!
Master Hu didn't care what Zhu Yuanzhang said. After sorting out his thoughts, he spoke slowly.

"For scholars in this world, it is a rule that those who excel in their studies will be promoted to officials."

"That is to say, for them, it doesn't matter if they study hard or fail the exams repeatedly, as long as they can become an official in the end, it's worth it!"

"But it is precisely because of this situation that you have to pay attention to it, Chongba."

"Because once you want to change the official system and the imperial examination system, you will undoubtedly be against the scholars of the world."

"After all, people only need to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and the old masters in the academies are also good at teaching these things."

"As a result, you two suddenly want to make it difficult for him and change his knowledge. It would be strange if he didn't get anxious."

"But, people know that you, Zhu Yuanzhang, are murderous and ruthless, so they dare not confront you."

"So should we go around in circles and reveal this to him?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression became much more serious.

Because he was sure that what Mr. Hu said would definitely happen.

In fact, if they don't take action now while both father and son are still around, I'm afraid that when he is gone, or even Zhu Biao is gone, the descendants will not be able to withstand the group of scholars from all over the world.

Therefore, he, who was already serious, became even more alert.

"A textbook and a teacher, these two things actually set the rules."

"Textbooks determine the knowledge, abilities, and even moral character that you hope students, or future officials, should possess, and this can also be reflected in them."

"As a teacher, you decide whether your future students will rebel and what strategies and styles they will adopt in dealing with people!"

"Tell me, can you give these two things to someone else?" (End of this chapter)
