Chapter 238 The Cabinet of Unity [Seeking Moon Ticket!]

"If there is no ancestral law, authority, sage, morality, what does Ma Majesty want to rely on the world for a long time? Is it really necessary to return to the" soldiers of the soldiers strong and strong, the king of the strong horse and the strong "of the five generations and ten kingdoms.

"?"

Hu Yan's words, words.

At the same time, Hu Yan also cleverly avoided the topic of "whether destiny is true". Even for the more specific measures of the Confucian Destiny Taoism, it is supported by the more than the Confucian destiny.

This means that the Confucian Confucian Confucianism who reads poetry books in Hu Yan does not know that Confucianism can only prove and cannot be evidenced by the concept of Confucian destiny?

And don't forget, Hu Yan has a deep accomplishment in astronomical, geographical, rhythm, and calculations. It is almost a youthful version of Zhuo Jing Huhuan.

Many unreasonable places?

But Hu Yan almost told Zhu Xi.

It is not important if heaven and man feels real!

Fear the destiny, fear the adults, and the words of the saints.

The fundamental, for the greatest "adult" of the ruler, the most important thing is not what the gentleman said what the Grand San to the ancestors Confucius, but the second half of the gentleman's fear, which is "

The villain does not know the destiny but not afraid, the adult, the insulting the sage's words ".

If the "villains" are not afraid of the destiny, then the ancestral law, authority, saint, morality, morality, and morality.

Without these fear, what do people fear?

Sword!

If anyone's knife is hard, can it be the emperor, can Daming be ruled for a long time?

You Zhu Xi knife hard, good, you are the emperor.

If you pass the throne to Zhu Gaoyu, Zhu Gaoyu's knife is also hard. Well, he is also the emperor.

What about it?

Do you want a general to change the story of Chen Qiaobing? The yellow robe plus is the emperor?

Why is Zhao Kuangyin who is clearly born in a martial arts, but he has to betray his class, engage in "cup of wine to release military power", "strong dry branches", and "unwilling to know soldiers"?

Why did Zhao Song a morbid state to suppress martial arts?

Why did Han Qi be in person and died of Di Qing, a generation of famous generals, saying "Fang Fang of Donghua Gate is a good man"?

In the final analysis, it is to maintain this set of destiny, patriarchal law, authority, saint, morality, so that the Zhao Song royal family can be ruled for a long time.

Otherwise, if the people are not afraid of taking these, they will only be afraid of serving the knife, and they will endlessly appear the chaos of the five generations and ten countries.

And Zhu Xi also understood what Hu Yan's words meant.

This could not help but hesitated Zhu Xi, who had already been killed.

Hu Yan is not the second Fang Xiaoyu.

Hu Yan is neither as hard as Fang Xiaoyu, nor does it recognize death like Fang Xiaoyu.

The purpose of Hu Yan is of course to maintain Confucian Taoism, but Hu Yan also takes into account the aspects of imperial rights that comply with Zhu Xi's vital interests.

First safeguard Zhu Xi's interests, and then through the binding of the two to maintain Confucianism, rather than the opening of the Taoism.

Hu Yan analyzed the relationship between Confucian destiny and the rule of imperial power clearly, told Zhu Xi to tell him, telling him that the change of reform itself may be fine. Some more reform measures are also good, but the problem is.

If things such as expanding the scale of the Qintian Prison and monitoring astronomical phenomena, restoring Xunzi's status as the Five Sages of Confucianism, adjusting the content of the imperial examination, propagating the theory of sage kings, and establishing the concept of nation-state are carried out, then it is almost inevitable that the Confucian destiny of destiny will be shaken.

After shaking the destiny, a series of subsequent patriarchal systems, authority, saints, and morality used to maintain the rule of Zhu Di and his descendants will also be shaken.

Then the fundamental interests of the Zhu family will be harmed.

Therefore, the emperor must carefully consider whether he should change Confucian orthodoxy and carry out reforms to strengthen himself at the expense of shaking the foundation of imperial power.

After hearing this, everyone in the cabinet suddenly understood and couldn't help but admire Hu Yan's research skills.

Of course, as the top young talent in the Ming Empire, everyone in the cabinet also understands these principles.

But if you want to point directly to the essence of Confucian classics used to maintain rule in such a high-pressure situation, avoid all the pitfalls dug by the emperor, and then achieve the goal of safeguarding Confucian orthodoxy and imperial rule, and also save the emperor's face.

This arrow and three eagles are really a test of skill.

"I really didn't expect that Hu Yan, who is usually honest, straightforward and silent, would be able to say these words today."

Zhu Gaochi also glanced at Hu Yan and thought to himself.

Just like the saying of later generations, "When the sea is flowing, a hero's true qualities are revealed; when the wind is high and the waves are strong, the mainstay is revealed." Everyone in the cabinet talks loudly on weekdays, but at this time they dare not speak.

On the contrary, Hu Yan, who usually didn't like to talk much, was able to admonish the emperor very rationally at this time, and even gave the emperor no reason to be angry.

How to get angry?

Hu Yan is doing it for your own good and has made it clear from your point of view. You were the one who made people express their opinions, but now you can turn your back and kill someone?

Zhu Di was silent.

Of course Zhu Di was not illiterate, but if you want to say that he was familiar with the scriptures and could refute Hu Yan's statement now, that's not true.

Therefore, Zhu Di understood that Hu Yan was a loyal minister, or to him, on the surface, he was still trying to maintain the imperial rule.

The opponent is not as tough-talking as Lian Zining and Fang Xiaoru, so how to kill him?

At this time, everyone in the cabinet stopped sitting around.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's cabinet was almost equivalent to the low-profile version of the Zhongshu Province that had not been abolished thirteen years before Hongwu.

The Cabinet is responsible for sorting out, sorting, and screening various government affairs. It is also a newly created department. Everyone knows that as long as we persist in forming a system, the Cabinet will definitely become the second Central Secretary's Department in the future, and the future will be bright.

Of course there was intrigue among the cabinet members, but at this moment Hu Yan stood up and said so many words, but the emperor did not get angry and was still hesitant.

If everyone thinks about picking themselves clean, the final effect may be counterproductive. It is better to work together and continue to admonish the emperor from Hu Yan's point of view.

This is not a clique for personal gain!

We are all here for your imperial rule, the Emperor!

So, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, and Yang Shiqi exchanged looks and said separately.

"Your Majesty, it is a serious matter to change the country. I do not agree with it, but I would like to ask your Majesty to consider it carefully."

"If you make a hasty decision, you will inevitably make mistakes. I believe that the right path is to plan carefully, arrange things slowly, and then decide how to implement it after all the obstacles are clarified."

"If Your Majesty wants to carry out changes in the law, I will obey your orders. However, the incident is sudden and there is a sense of haste. Why not think carefully and make a complete plan before making a thunderous move?"

After saying that, the three of them looked at Jin Youzi, the emperor's confidant and thorn in the cabinet.

Of course, Jin Youzi's mind was like a mirror. He knew that the emperor would probably not punish Hu Yan in any way, and since he was a member of the cabinet after all, he might as well be a favor and unite his colleagues to avoid truly becoming a lonely minister.

Jin Youzi stood up and said: "We are lucky enough to meet such a heroic king in this life, and he intends to change the law. This is naturally a good thing for the country and the people, and it is also a good thing for us, small ministers.

If you can get some light, follow

But just like what Sun Tzu said in "The Art of War": If you don't fight but have temples to win, you have to count more; if you don't fight but have temples to lose, you have to count less. More can win, less can not win, and what's more,

It doesn’t matter! If I look at it this way, I can see the outcome.”

"Whether it is a march or a war or a reform, there should always be a thorough plan. The eight strategies for reform proposed by Master Dao Yan are just an idea. There are many specific implementation steps that can be improved. For example, where does something start from?

When we start, how long does it take to achieve what goal? The human and geographical conditions between one place and that place are different, should we use different methods?"

Seeing that Zhu Di was deep in thought, Jin Youzi said no more, cupped his hands and returned to his seat.

Zhu Di pondered for a while and said: "I think what Hu Qing said is not unreasonable. Hu Qing is still loyal to the emperor and the country, but the things he looks at are a bit narrow. Master Daoyan will come later and will break it down with you."

He said, just sit back first."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yan bowed respectfully and sat back.

After he sat down on the chair, Hu Yan realized that the back of his official robe was already wet with cold sweat.

Although Hu Yan tried his best to stay calm just now, he still couldn't hide the complicated emotions in his heart towards Zhu Di's determination to carry out reforms vigorously.

Zhu Di is not an elegant young man like Zhu Yunwen, who grew up in a deep palace and was raised in the hands of women. Zhu Di is a general, a butcher, and the emperor on horseback who can truly conquer the world with one sword and one shot.

If Zhu Di wants to make changes, he will definitely make changes!

Hu Yan remembered that in order to promote the sharing of labor in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Di appointed Zhu Neng, Duke of Chengguo, to command the army. He led the Marquis of Chengyang Zhang Wu, Marquis Huoli Huozhen of Tong'an, Marquis Wang Zhong of Jing'an and other princes, infantry and cavalry soldiers and auxiliary soldiers and civilians.

Nearly 100,000 troops swept across the south of the Yangtze River. What a magnificent scene it was!

The spears and halberds are like a forest, the armor shines brightly, and the flags cover the sky.

That's what they, the cabinet members, saw with their own eyes on the Shence Gate Tower, and I'm afraid they will never forget it!

Therefore, Hu Yan had no doubts about Zhu Di being able to implement reforms. Inwardly speaking, Hu Yan was also dissatisfied with the various long-standing shortcomings in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

But Hu Yan couldn't tolerate it. The premise of further reform was to impact the Confucian orthodoxy he cherished most, so Hu Yan spoke out to dissuade him.

But Hu Yan also knew that if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. Since Zhu Di wants to make drastic changes, it is impossible to cross the "thinking" hurdle and just make minor repairs to the system.

Hu Yan knew very well that his words, risking the lives of his entire family, might only be able to block the reform for a while, or even for a few days.
