Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters mountain people's career should be like this
Religion undoubtedly has a huge influence in this period. After all, the vast majority of people in any region have difficult lives, lack of food and clothing, and suffer from many diseases and disasters. This is the best fertile ground for the development of religion.
No matter how advanced the society is and how developed the productive forces are, there are still too many limitations, too many unbearable sufferings and despairs, which cannot be escaped and avoided, so we have religious beliefs.
The major Mongolian khanates spanned the Eurasian continent, with a vast territory, and a variety of ethnic groups within their territory. These have diversified the religions within the territory. Chinese Buddhism, Lamaism, Taoism, White Lotus, etc. have all achieved great development.
, business travel between the East and the West, and priests also had frequent exchanges. The influence of Christianity, Nestorianism, Catholicism and Judaism from the West was also huge.
But religions are not unified, and the contradictions in natural doctrines make it impossible for them to coexist harmoniously, especially in lands outside China. The split of the Chagatai Khanate is not surprising, since some of their vested interests recognize that divine authority is higher than
It was decided at the time of kingship.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard his son's explanation, he no longer thought about it. Hami was too young, and its rise and fall depended on the Ming Dynasty. There was no room for resistance at all. It was not as good as Nahachu in Liaodong and Yunnan.
The king of Liang was in trouble.
Lao Zhu joked: "It's rare that there is something you don't like."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "My son likes to expand territory, but Hami is still a buffer for now, and it will naturally be taken down in the future. How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"
The father and son drank tea and chatted for a while, and then gradually shifted the topic to the north. Lao Zhu said: "It's time to call Chang Yuchun back. Who do you think should be released to take over the responsibility of guarding the north?"
If in other dynasties, the prince-in-law and his father-in-law guard the north with hundreds of thousands of troops, then no matter what the emperor thinks, the prince and his father-in-law will definitely protect the power of their father-in-law.
When the emperor passes the throne, others can also support the prince to ascend to the throne.
However, it was different in the generation of their father and son. Zhu Biao did not completely rely on his father-in-law. The real princeling was the emperor, so this father-in-law became a threat. If his relatives wanted to interfere in politics, there would be chaos.
"Speaking of which, my cousin's meritorious service this time is not small. He withstood the continuous attacks of the most elite Qixue tribe under Yesudie'er for several days. With the military merits accumulated in the past, it is time for him to be crowned king."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Even if Wen Zhong is crowned king, he is not qualified enough to suppress the north. He still has to send Feng Sheng or Fu Youde there."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "This is natural. Everything should be safe and sound in the next few years. You might as well send a few more generals to the north to train troops and hide away for a while. I will expand the territory in the future.
.”
Although this was not stated explicitly, it was obvious what he was hiding. Recently, Hu Weiyong had frequently wanted to use the authority of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs to intervene in the military affairs of the Governor's Mansion. During the New Year holidays, he often interacted with generals from Huaixi.
.
Hu Weiyong was the head of hundreds of officials in his position, and was the spokesperson of Huaixi nobles among the factions. His qualifications were not low, and he also had the merits of Cong Long Anbang. Many people were involved in it, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to see this happen. The role of supporting Hu Weiyong was not just this. He gathered arrogant soldiers who did not respect the laws of the imperial court and hunted down all the corrupt officials. At the same time, he took back military power in the country. Apart from the corruption of civil servants since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was inevitable.
potential.
Of course, the fundamental purpose is to strengthen the imperial power. This is understandable. Anyone who achieves this position must do this. Politically, it is foolish to believe others. This has nothing to do with good or evil, it is just a matter of stance.
If we just want to maintain the operation of the Ming Dynasty, the more these people die, the better, especially the nobles. The military general system has been suppressed in all dynasties, not because the emperors are idiots, but because it is really dangerous. The scholars have not been able to rebel for three years.
, a common man's anger can turn everything upside down.
However, after all, Zhu Biao was not a prince who was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. He only knew the Four Books and Five Classics and why he did not eat minced meat. He was confident and sure to conquer the world and balance the civil and military elites.
That’s why I hope that my father will leave behind a group of useful founding talents. Even if they have some minor flaws, as long as their abilities are passable, it’s better to let them die on the road to opening up new territories than to die in politics.
Clear the top.
There is basically no doubt that Lao Zhu is satisfied with his prince now. He often boasts in night conversations with his queen that his ability to educate his son is the best among all emperors in the past, even when Emperor Qin and Han Wu came.
!
So he responded simply and neatly: "I know, we will look at the arrangements."
Zhu Biao smiled and said no more. He had arranged for all his direct relatives to go out, and most of the others were not familiar with him. Although he could pass the intelligence analysis, in the end, he was a bit uninterested, so his father gave it to him.
Take your pick.
Lao Zhu's vision of people is also extremely accurate. As the only winner of an era, everything about him is basically top-notch. At most, it is limited by the limitations of the era.
"It is suggested that Qian Tang should be the minister for the position of Zhaoyin in Beijing. No matter how suitable this is, it will also allow my father to calm down."
Lao Zhu, who was still cheerful at first, became angry when he heard Qian Tang's name. He gritted his teeth and muttered: "One day for two days, one day for advice, and five days for admonishment. We were about to be called an unscrupulous tyrant by him. We shouldn't have done it back then."
Let this old guy join the court as an official. Now that he is well, he can't throw it away."
Zhu Biao was also helpless. Whether it was Old Master Han Qi or Old Master Qian Tang, they were all truly loyal and direct ministers. Zhu Biao believed that if the Ming Dynasty was really in trouble, they would never mind risking the lives of their whole family to go to Fushan River.
Swing, even if you die a hundred times, you will not regret it.
But it is true that they are irritating. How can it be possible to completely distinguish right from wrong in matters in the court? How can there be only black and white in politics? But they just want to distinguish, and they have to force the emperor to distinguish.
In their eyes, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are without distinction. No matter who they are, they must follow their teachings and practice their own way. Although the emperor has supreme rights, he is no exception.
For this reason, you can resign your title, you can do it with a sword, and your black hat is not worth mentioning. You can ignore it if necessary. This concept cannot be said to be wrong, because too many people can't do much of this.
It is a utopian idea, but it is noble.
If you live like a feather, you will still be a failure to your country; if you die, you will leave blue blood to support the sky.
Now these two masters are not working in the capital. This is because Lao Zhu wants to protect them. After all, Hu Weiyong will become more powerful in the next two years. If these two are here, they will definitely keep a close eye on Hu Weiyong, and maybe they will find out.
After what happened, he would still remonstrate and ask for the execution of the rebellious officials...
Zhu Biao rubbed his eyes and said: "Huai'an is too close to the capital. There is usually nothing important under the emperor's feet. Old Master Qian has to stare at his father every day. It's better to stay away. Peiping is quite chaotic now, so it's just right for him."
Old Master, go and do some business."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "That old guy is not young. He is old enough to beg for his bones to return home and rest in peace. He can't stand the bitter cold in the north."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh and said: "My father still feels sorry for me. After all, he was a good minister who came to sing poems for my father's straw sandals."
Qian Tang became famous at a young age, and the Yuan Dynasty also offered him an official position, but he was sternly rejected by the old master. From his youth to his old age, he lived in seclusion in Baishi Mountain in Dan City, Xiangshan, farming, reading, teaching and educating people.
Until the first year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict for seeking talents, the old master lived under the dark rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Finally, light appeared before his eyes, and he was so excited that he responded to the spring rain and came to serve.
Zhu Biao knew that Qian Tang was already old and would no longer be interested in being a high-ranking official. Maybe he didn't want to go out again, but at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's edict to seek talents was not very effective.
Although the Ming Dynasty was established, because there were too many places in the world that had not been recovered, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty still maintained its power, it was ready to march south to the Central Plains at any time. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's background was too low, and many scholars looked down on Chu Li.
Ming dynasty.
After all, everyone knows that Emperor Zhu was just a beggar, and he relied on bandits and rebels to make his fortune. He was not a wise king in the traditional sense.
They were unwilling to accept it either. Maybe this Emperor Zhu came to their doorstep asking for a meal, and suddenly turned around and asked them to kowtow and serve the clan. This was naturally very resistive.
Qian Tang was a well-known Confucian in the local area. He had taught and educated people for many years and was quite famous in the local area. He recruited his disciples and disciples and constantly summoned other scholars along the way to serve the new Han Dynasty.
It really played a role in raising the profile at that time. Zhu Yuanzhang inherited this sentiment. There was a shortage of scholars when the country was founded. It can be seen from now on. Five years after Hongwu, there is still a shortage of officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao leaned on the back of his chair and read: "In the spring of the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, there was a sound of spring thunder and the sky and the earth sounded, dragons flew in the sky and rain fell like cream, and the mountains and rivers of the earth became more beautiful.
…………. A good wind blows and I walk to the capital. I see the emperor with an iron staff and hemp shoes. His face is happy and the sky is enlightened. I stand in front of the palace to carry out the imperial edict. It is the time for Jun, Yao and Shun. This is how the career of a mountain man should be.
