Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 283 The Way of Governing the Country
I have been busy these years, and I have long forgotten about these two people. The members of the Shen family don't know their own intentions, and never dare to mention these two people in front of me. show up.

Thinking of the achievements of the Shen family, Li Jing sighed in his heart: "Sir, how have Jizu and Jizong performed in recent years?"

Li Jing knew that since Yuan Keli mentioned these two people to him, he naturally wanted to check their performance in the past few years.

Sure enough, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "I sent people back to Hongshanling to inquire carefully. Both Zhang Ao and Zhou Huhu said that Shen Jizu and Shen Jizong have worked with peace of mind these past few years and have never had any trouble. Their temperaments have been much restrained compared to before. I Think, for the sake of your father-in-law, arrange an errand for the two of them?"

Li Jing looked at Yuan Keli and said with a smile: "Mr. must have already arranged it? Let's do it according to Mr.'s wishes!"

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "I have already arranged the errands, but these two boys are indeed much more sensible than before, and they said that they will do things after you come back and meet them."

Li Jingqi said: "Is this what they said? It seems that they have really improved, so let's see each other."

Shaking his head, Li Jing sighed: "Actually, it's not only my father-in-law who is cautious, but Yingying is too cautious. There are so many properties under her family, what's the point of arranging an errand for the two elder brothers? But she has never been in front of me. Don't mention it, I think I've complained a lot to Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen over the years!"

Yuan Keli smiled and said: "Actually, this is Ying'er's brilliance. You know that she has been wronged, so you naturally love her. And when the time is right, as long as someone talks to you, you will naturally find a way to deal with it." The two of them. It is also a good thing for the two of them to suffer a little bit, otherwise, Shen Lao Er's family fortune will be wiped out sooner or later."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean, what I mean is, we are all a family, what can't we say directly? Still need to beat around the bush? If things go on like this, it will hurt feelings!"

Yuan Keli was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "You are becoming more and more majestic now, who dares to be as casual as before? You dare to speak freely with you only because of the teacher and the old. Alas, in the future you will be in charge of the center, I am afraid it will be even more useless." People dare to talk to you casually."

Li Jingwen was silent for a long time, and after a while he said: "Sir, I want to abolish some rituals, such as kneeling. In the future, apart from kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, kneeling to the ancestors, kneeling to parents, and kneeling to the teacher, there is no need to kneel to worship, including the emperor." In fact, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he knows that no one really kowtows to him. Just like many subordinates see me now, they kneel as soon as they meet, and I have to stop it every time. Actually, why would they want to kneel? This form, instead of this, why do you want this form? Don't even kneel down!"

Yuan Keli was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't want to say a word to himself, which made Li Jing think of changing the etiquette system.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Keli said: "Just canceling these etiquette systems may be useless. The key is to be bloody. I'm afraid this can't be done in a day's work."

Li Jing shook his head and said: "My Han family's children have never lacked blood. The main reason is that they are suppressed by those stereotypes and bad habits. If they want to restore blood, they must first break these stereotypes."

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "I'm going to ban Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, such as preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires, the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, and everything that imprisons people's thinking. I believe that in time, my sons and daughters of the Han family will be banned." You will surely be able to straighten your waist and regain your arrogance to look down on the world."

"This... I'm afraid it's against the scholars all over the world?" Yuan Keli hesitated.

Hearing this, Li Jing stood up and stood up: "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go! I want to fight against scholars all over the world! I don't believe that they would not study without Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism? Could it be said that before Zhu Xi, those scholars read It's all shit?
Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were hundreds of schools of thought and a hundred flowers blooming together. At that time, our Chinese civilization was so prosperous. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu wrote a letter, which deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.Since then, the servility of my Chinese children has become more and more serious.

At the time of Wuhu Chaohua, our Han people were almost exterminated by the Hu people. Fortunately, the god of war Ran Min was born and issued an order to kill Hu, which revived the blood of our Han children, and the Han blood continued.

But in the Song Dynasty, the thoughts of the Han people were imprisoned again, and scholars began to look down on warriors. They forgot that without warriors, who would defend their homes and the country?Without those soldiers, how could they be safe as officials?After Zhu Xi's Confucianism became popular, this situation intensified, and eventually the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, and our Han people were enslaved by the Mongols for nearly a hundred years.

Later, the Taizu of this dynasty led troops to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, expelled the Mongols from the Central Plains, and established the Ming Dynasty.However, Zhu Xi's Neo Confucian thought was picked up by Taizu.So within a hundred years, the emperor of Ming Dynasty became a prisoner in the Tumu Fortress Change.

Today, the eastern captives and the western barbarians are staring at us in the Central Plains. If our Han children don't cheer up, how can we resist?How can it last long with Li Jing alone?

Therefore, I want to get rid of those stereotypes and bad habits that are not conducive to the development of the Chinese nation while I am young.After a hundred years of Li Jing, many things have already been concluded, and it will be difficult to change them back. "

Li Jing made an impassioned speech, but when he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that there was no movement in the room. Looking carefully, he saw Yu Leting, Yang Liufeng, Fang Fang and others kneeling in front of him.

Li Jing frowned, and said in displeasure, "I'm talking about canceling the old system of kneeling and worshiping. Why are you kneeling down for me? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with my ban on Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism, so give me eye drops?"

Yu Leting and the others respectfully kowtowed to Li Jing three times, then stood up and said, "I have listened to what the commander-in-chief said, and we kowtow to the commander-in-chief sincerely. After kowtowing these three heads, we Just like the commander-in-chief said, from now on, stand up straight and be a man, and never kneel down casually."

Li Jingwen was overjoyed when he heard that, he patted the shoulders of the three of them heavily, then turned to look at Yuan Keli and said, "Sir, you see, not all the scholars object, at least the three of them don't..."

Speaking of this, seeing Yuan Keli's face full of tears, Li Jing hurriedly stopped, took a step forward and took Yuan Keli's hand and said, "Sir, are you angry at the student's words? If the husband is not willing, then the student will not do this matter." ! Don't be angry!"

Yuan Keli wiped away his tears, waved his hands and said, "I'm not angry, but emotional. The greatest ambition of my generation of scholars is to regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world, but I don't know that relying solely on Confucianism, it is easy to regulate the family, but it is difficult to govern the country." It is difficult, and it is even more difficult to bring peace to the world.”

Li Jing caressed Yuan Keli's back and said: "Sir, Confucianism is not completely unusable. Most of the words of the saints are reasonable, so naturally we can't generalize. I mean to get rid of the chaff and keep the chaff, let those Useful thoughts are passed on, and those things that imprison people's thoughts are removed."

After a pause, Li Jing suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, many things are tricks played by those in power. For example, in the early Han Dynasty, the royal family admired Laozhuang and emphasized the rule of inaction, but in fact the state still promulgated laws and regulations. After all, the country must be governed by law. Later, Confucianism was advocated, and the emphasis was on convincing people with virtue. However, when the Huns invaded, they had to rely on the army to fight back.

I know that if my words are spread, some people will inevitably say that I have misinterpreted the way of governing the country, and some people will inevitably say that governing the country should be based on virtue and supplemented by criminal law. "

Shaking his head, Li Jing smiled and said, "I'll give you an example so you know the reason for this point of view. Everyone knows that when Song Renzong was in power, he was known for his tolerance and benevolence, and he implemented the policy of governing the country with benevolence. There will be an amnesty every three years.

How is the result?Those criminals did not change their minds after being pardoned, but continued to do evil.

I don't know if you have ever thought about it, when Emperor Renzong implemented benevolent policies on those criminals, was it fair to those victims?Who do those who have been hurt turn to for reason?

If I were the person involved, if I couldn't explain it, I would trade violence for violence.Anyway, as long as I hide for a few years, the emperor will pardon me again and I will be fine.

Everyone is familiar with history books, so they should know that there were many bandits in Song Dynasty.how so?All because the ruler of the Song Dynasty was named Boren and did not rule the country by law. "

Hearing Li Jing's words, everyone present nodded their heads.

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "In my opinion, to govern the country, we must rely on a perfect legal system. With a perfect system, it is supplemented by moral education, telling people that they should pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, The virtues of righteousness, propriety, and faith are the right way to govern a country.

In addition, I want to talk about the meaning of loyalty.

I think the object of loyalty should not be a certain person, not an emperor, or a superior official, but our country, our nation.Everyone knows Wen Shan Gong (Wen Tianxiang), right?How can Wen Shangong be immortal?Geinwen monkey's loyalty to the country.Our generation should take Wen Shangong as a model, and be careful to maintain righteousness, so that we can rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty! "

After Li Jing finished speaking, Yuan Keli stroked his beard and kept nodding, Yu Leting and the others clasped their fists together: "I would like to follow the instruction of the Commander."

"Jun Yang, write down what the Commander-in-Chief said, you should remember the Commander-in-Chief's teaching in your heart, and you should pass it on to all the scholars in the world to know!" Yuan Keli said.

"Yes! Sir!" Yu Leting responded with a bow.

Yang Liufeng and Fang Fang didn't hesitate, and hurriedly helped spread the paper and grind the ink.

When he was ready, Yu Leting briefly reviewed Li Jing's words, and then he wrote quickly, and a beautiful article was published in no time.

It was unavoidable to polish and delete some of Li Jing's vulgar words.

After Yu Leting finished his book, he presented it to Yuan Keliguan.Yuan Keli couldn't help but nodded, then handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jing looked at it and shook his head with a smile: "Li's words are vulgar, I don't want it to become a beautiful article after Brother Junyang's embellishment. Ashamed! Ashamed!"

"The commander-in-chief is too modest. I can't wait to write articles. The commander-in-chief is the one who is truly educated. In terms of talent and learning, I can't wait as much as the commander-in-chief." Yu Leting laughed.

Yang Liufeng and Fang Fang also said yes with a smile.
