King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

in the hall.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu relaxed his expression, shrugged his shoulders, laughed, shook his head slightly, and whispered softly:

"does it worth?"

"Where in this world is there a clear line between what is worthy and what is not?"

"It's just that everyone's pursuits and expectations are different."

"Don't worry about the prince, prince or emperor."

“Isn’t it true that what everyone is pursuing is always the dynasty and the people getting better and better?”

"Isn't it the same as what Jin Shangshu learned in Confucianism?"

Hearing this, Jin Zhong was slightly startled, and the expression on his face could not help but reveal a hint of emotion. His gaze towards Zhu Gaoxu was not as vigilant as before, and he could not help but feel a hint of admiration in his heart.

The people of Dynasty and Dawn are getting better and better.

Yes!

Aren't these the Confucian dreams and ambitions that they had when they first became officials?
Once upon a time, it seemed that their previous ambitions and original dreams had been completely forgotten by them.

And he was able to maintain his original intention even before he saw the military commander he had always despised, the smelly Qiu Ba.

Just as he was deep in thought, Zhu Gaoxu's voice came again:

"Shang Shu Jin, you are a civil servant."

"Over the years, I have met countless civil servants and students."

"I wonder if you have ever felt like this. Today's civil servants and students have all given up on their original aspirations. Just because they are favored by the court, they put their eyes above their own and look down on this and that."

"After luckily gaining fame, they talk about governing the world for the imperial power, but how many of them really care about the lives and lives of the people, and how many of them have ever sought benefits for the people?"

"On the contrary, they are masters who prey on the common people, take corruption and bribes, seize fertile land from the hands of the common people, plunder the people's wealth, fool the common people, and make most of the orders completely unable to be issued."

"Many people have become cancerous tumors for the imperial court, and even become moths that may cause the subsequent collapse of the dynasty."

"And these people are still using the banner of the imperial court and the emperor. It can be said that money comes into their mouths, but the blame is shouldered by the imperial court and the royal family."

"Isn't that exactly what Jin Yiwei found out about the previous corruption scandal in the court?"

"And how many of them are there that have not been discovered?"

"What is the reason for this?"

"Few of the common people are literate, their intelligence is not developed, and they cannot distinguish between good and bad. They can only become the target of others' fooling."

speech.

Follow Zhu Gaoxu's eloquent talk.

Jin Zhong, who was standing aside, had an old face as gloomy as water. He tried to open his mouth several times but was unable to speak, and his brows were tightly knitted together.

After serving as an official for so many years, to be able to sit in this position, Jin Zhong can be considered to have a lot of knowledge about the history of the entire dynasty. He can also be considered to have read poetry and books, and met all kinds of people.

So when Zhu Gaoxu said this, he knew better than anyone else that there was absolutely no falsehood in this statement.

Since Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, came to power and emphasized literature over military affairs, the civil servants of the entire Han nation have become a real climate. At the same time, almost 90% of the people have lost the character and integrity of the civil servants.

An individual becomes greedy for life and afraid of death, and becomes a cancer for the common people.

But know it, know it. In fact, this issue has been discussed since Emperor Taizu founded the country. Although these civil servants who have no civil integrity and character make everyone very unhappy and even disgusted, the emperor is firmly seated in the court and needs someone to herd him.

Once these literati are truly eliminated, who will be allowed to serve as the emperor’s herdsmen?
It’s impossible for the emperor to do everything by himself, right?

Let alone the people in the countryside and fields, if the emperor were the only one, the government orders would probably exhaust people to death by the time they reached the various states and governments, so this is completely unrealistic.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing aside, saw Jin Zhong's unpredictable expression and could probably guess what he was thinking.

Then, he simply organized his thoughts and spoke again:

"The real confidence of so many of these students in the court, or who have not yet become officials, is that they feel that the emperor needs them to be herders, while the people in the fields and countryside have no access to learning and knowledge at all, so they can enjoy it as much as they like. 's fooling."

"And these people think that their special treatment is what they should be, and they think that the court cannot do without them, but they are not inseparable from the court, so they are confident."

"What I want is to completely crush the mysterious self-confidence of these bastards and give them the sense of urgency they deserve."

"Let the people in the countryside be enlightened and have the ability to impact these arrogant people, and no longer become people who can be fooled by these literati."

"If it really turns out to be what I envision, the entire Ming Dynasty will begin to 'involve', and all the people will become wise. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has inexhaustible reserves of talents."

"How can these literati and elegant people live so calmly?"

"And the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely separated from it, and will no longer be controlled by these individuals."

"What a scene it will be like then, I don't need to say more here, right?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Jin Zhong with interest and waited quietly for his answer.

For a moment, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence, and the sound of heavy breathing lingered in everyone's ears for a long time.

However, looking at Jin Zhong's chest rising and falling, it is obvious that his heart and emotions are extremely unstable now.

call.
Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Jin Zhong came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, let out a long breath of the turbidity suppressed in his heart, and turned to look at King Han who was staring at him with a half-smile. His voice was slightly hoarse and he said:
"My lord."

"Are you really determined to do this?"

"You really don't have any regrets?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu shrugged his shoulders, a hint of solemnity flashed through his half-closed eyes, nodded heavily, and replied with certainty:
"Some things have a path, and someone always needs to take the first step."

"It's just like the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who ended the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in one fell swoop and unified the Central Plains, isn't it?"

Hear the words.

Jin Zhong slowly raised his head and took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu. Seeing his calm and solemn look, his emotions suddenly became quite complicated.

There was admiration, worry, solemnity, and even a hint of determination, appearing in his eyes like lightning in the night sky.

"In this case, Prince Han has such courage and courage that he dares to treat the throne as if it is nothing and go through this life to pray for the people."

"Why should I fear such a broken body like this, my old minister?"

"Right and wrong, merits and demerits. Future generations will comment."

"I hope that I can see the prosperous age described by the King of Han in my lifetime. It will be a worthwhile journey in this world."
