Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the throne, his eyes sweeping over these civil servants who opposed the establishment of martial arts.
You are all lonely teachers. When I studied in the university, I learned many principles of life, conduct and life from you!
When Gu became the grandson of the emperor, you worked tirelessly to teach Gu how to govern the country and govern the world. You advised Gu to treat his subjects well and hoped that Gu would be a good emperor in the future!
Zhu Yunxi's voice echoed in the hall. Although you are well-educated men, you are a bit rigid, but you are the pillars of the country with strong character and unparalleled moral character.
Your talents, demeanor, conduct, and conduct are all unique among ten thousand. Grandpa Huang once personally told me that you are all virtuous ministers and upright people, and you can be called a role model for scholar-bureaucrats!
This was an extremely rare compliment. The ministers in the palace could no longer stand still and all knelt down to praise him. They did not dare to praise the grandson!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at Fang Xiaoru. Even a minister like Fang Xueshi could be entrusted to the country. If there was trouble in the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely die for the country and die for the country. He would not be afraid of being shattered into pieces, leaving only his innocence in the world.
Mingchen!
minister!
Suddenly hearing this kind of praise, Fang Xiaoru was very excited, feeling happy and sad at the same time. The happy thing is that the emperor's grandson knows his heart and trusts him. The sad thing is that the emperor's grandson is now more close to the warriors and alienated from them. The young man at the beginning
King Wu has grown into a qualified prince.
It's just that this prince is far different from what they had in mind. It's a world of difference!
O minister, read the books of the sages and be a wise minister. What you ask for will be worthy of heaven, worthy of the king, and worthy of the people. Fang Xiaoru sobbed.
Your heart, your heart, everyone knows it!
Zhu Yunxi spoke slowly. You must be a little sad in your heart. Over the past year, I have become somewhat less close to you. Not to mention that in the past, in the school, you were diligent, studious and listened to your teachers, right?
I don’t dare!
There is nothing to be afraid of. Now that we have something to talk about today, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with you!
Today is different from the past. Back then, Zhu Yunxi had to do everything possible to win the favor of the old man and the love of these ministers. Now Zhu Yunxi is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, with a majestic head and a majestic view of the world.
He admired the character of these people, but he could not fully listen to these people on the road to governing the country.
I still remember how hard the bachelors taught me when I was studying in the school. I would get up before dawn. If I stayed in bed, Bachelor Liu would shout at the door of the school, "Will Your Highness be Emperor Yang of Sui in the future?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the courtiers in the palace laughed.
You have high expectations for Gu. Gu wakes up early, but you actually get up earlier. You only sleep for two or three hours every day. When others are sleeping soundly, you have already entered the palace to prepare to teach Gu. You are covered with stars and moons, no matter the cold wind or scorching heat.
, it’s windy or rainy, don’t dare to slack off at all!
Your Highness! In the palace, the bachelors of Zuo Chunfang in the East Palace have tears streaming down their faces.
These people are all good teachers. Their greatest wish in life is to teach Zhu Yunxi well! That is to make the Ming Empire have a virtuous and kind-hearted monarch who cares about all the people.
Your goodness is all in Gu's heart. If Gu has children in the future, you will still have to teach him.
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi slowly stopped the smile on his face and said, but do you know that Gu will not become the emperor you hope for.
What you hope is that in the future I will become a kind and kind king like Emperor Wen and Jing, who can rule the world with ease.
What you want is to be tolerant to others, kind to others, and to be a humble and gentleman-like emperor.
But Gu is really not that kind of person.
The Ming Dynasty has powerful enemies in the north, sea troubles in the south, and Tibet in the west. It is useless to reason with these enemies. You cannot sit in the palace, close your eyes, talk to yourself, and govern the world with virtue.
The lonely Ming Dynasty is not the gentle Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty cannot be a gentleman, but must be a tiger!
The tiger is the king of beasts, and the Ming Dynasty is the lord of the world.
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked around at the ministers.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to make the country rich and its people strong, but also to have a strong army, good at fighting, and passionate about martial arts!
You are opposed to the establishment of martial arts in isolation, but you only see some disadvantages, but have you ever thought about the other side? To put it more seriously, you are opposed to the establishment of martial arts, but in fact you are only opposed to the promotion of martial arts, and are opposed to other than the imperial examination.
Ways to source materials from outside!
The Ming Dynasty in your mind is that the king and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world, right?
The ministers dare not! The ministers apologized and kowtowed.
You are not guilty, and it is normal for you to think so! Zhu Yunxi continued, but you are wrong!
The ministers looked up in astonishment and saw Zhu Yunxi on the throne, who had stood up at some point and looked down at them.
The Ming Dynasty cannot lose its martial spirit, let alone its warlike nature!
I am reading the history of Song Dynasty these days and read an interesting story!
When the Jin soldiers came to Kaifeng for the first time, the Song Dynasty summoned the soldiers and horses from all over the world to make peace with the Jin.
The Jin soldiers were strong and the Song people could not defeat them, so they built a state of affairs and handed over a peace letter to the Jin state to stop their troops!
The Jin people got the treasure and returned home with a full load. A group of cavalrymen, about 17 riders, traveled to Hebei and met the soldiers and horses of King Qin of the Song Dynasty, numbering 2,000!
The two sides are facing each other. Jin Bing said that the two countries have made peace. We have been ordered by the prince to send a message back to the emperor. Don't stop me!
But the generals of the Song army saw that the Jin soldiers were outnumbered and wanted a share of the credit, so they ordered a battle!
At this time, Zhu Yunxi smiled again, do you know the result of the battle? Seventeen Jin soldiers rushed into the Song army's position and galloped to kill, but there was no one. There were only seventeen Jin soldiers, and they took over the pursuit of two thousand people all over the mountains and plains.
run!
Are the soldiers of the Song Dynasty really incompetent, or are the Han people too cowardly to fight?
Zhu Yunxi's voice suddenly sounded sonorous and powerful. If Han'er is cowardly, how can there be Yue Wumu and how can there be a loyal King Wu?
(King Zhongwu and Han Shizhong, both the Ming and Qing dynasties deserved to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The Qing emperors especially admired this man!)
The Song Dynasty was weak because it used culture to control force and used culture to suppress force!
Reading the history of the Song Dynasty alone, the early Song Dynasty can be said to be an iron-blooded and powerful Song Dynasty!
The Chinese barriers in the sixteen states of Yanyun are all in the hands of the barbarians. There are Khitan in the north, Xixia in the west, and even Tubo is eyeing it!
The enemies of the Han and Tang Dynasties were nothing more than the Huns and Turks. Both of them were just tribes, not a unified country. They were just like scattered sand. Tribes behaved like wild beasts. Whoever had the big fist would listen to whoever had it! Not to mention taxing and cultivating land.
Conquer the common people, recruit talents and become scholars, and establish laws and regulations.
But what about the enemies of the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty scholar Zizhi Tongjian wrote in the continuation that the Khitan captured the north of Yanji, and the Tuoba captured the west of Ningxia. The heroes of the land, both Han and Hu, were for their use. They imitated Chinese official offices and used Chinese characters.
Centralizing power in China and ruling the Hu country with Han law, the military power far exceeded that of the Hu people in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Enemy countries such as Khitan and Xixia, like the Song Dynasty, are highly centralized countries. They can mobilize more than ten thousand times the civilian power and military power?
Moreover, horses were produced in the north. At its peak, the Khitan army had 600,000 horses. When Taizu, the founding father of the Song Dynasty, was at his peak, there were only 10,000 horses. And the appearance of the army and horses cannot be compared with that of the Liao people!
The ministers were a little surprised, wondering why Zhu Yunxi brought the topic to the Song Dynasty.
At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, in order to maintain peace in the Central Plains, they fought against the Liao Kingdom and Xixia for several years, fighting with foot and cavalry. Although there were defeats, China did not lose half of its territory.
The Hu cavalry was equal to ten, and the Han men lost the Great Wall, used their bodies as walls, and their blood as rivers, and refused to give in. They rejected the Liao Kingdom in the north and conquered Xixia in the west. How could such strong soldiers be considered weak to the Song Dynasty? Even they could be called iron-blooded.
Pass.
But what happened next? Later, when the Jin people conquered Kaifeng, the two thousand Song people could not retain the seventeen Jin cavalrymen, and they had fallen so far!
The fall of the Song Dynasty was precisely because the world was peaceful with singing and dancing, and the literati and officials suppressed the warriors by showing off their articles. All the men in the world put their articles first, and lost the Han family's style of advocating martial arts and being good at war!
Soldiers have tattoos on their cheeks, are kept like pigs and treated like prisoners!
From the emperor down to his officials, they regard warriors as ferocious beasts and must be on guard day and night!
In this case, where is the spirit of martial arts? Who is willing to fight to the death for the country as a warrior?
When the Jin people arose from the white mountains and black waters, and the Mongols arose from the grasslands outside the Great Wall, the Song Dynasty, which fought hundreds of battles, had no soldiers or generals who were good at fighting. Who is to blame?
The two emperors of Huiqin and Huiqin were plundered, and it was entirely the fault of the emperor and his officials who valued literature over military affairs!
There was silence in the hall, Zhu Yunxi picked up the tea bowl and took a deep sip.
The Ming Dynasty cannot follow the old path of the Song Dynasty!
The martial arts that the men of the Han family gained through a hundred years of humiliation must not be thrown away!
The purpose of establishing martial arts in isolation is to cultivate capable generals for the country, to give dignity to warriors, and to inspire the pride of men all over the world with their military exploits!
Establish martial arts, train generals, and eliminate shortcomings in the army, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not be corrupted, will not become prisoners, and will not be driven by officials.
Open martial arts, make warriors wise, make the soldiers of the world appreciate God's grace, and understand how to treat them as soldiers of the country!
Do you think martial arts only teaches how to fight?
Gu's martial arts is divided into four subjects: riding, infantry, and artillery, and also has branches such as logistics, arithmetic, military reclamation, and horse herding. The talents he produces are fully utilized in the army and serve in the frontier fortress.
The purpose of martial arts is to make the Ming army have talented people from generation to generation! Mount your horse to fight, and dismount your horse to govern the people! Be sensible and do not take killing as your ability. Be filial, loyal and upright, and put the people of the country first!
As for the warriors you said are powerful and occupy the court, there is no need to worry! The military generals and generals are all disciples of the emperor, who can rebel? Even if the border general has the intention to rebel, can he mobilize the generals and commanders under his command who have martial arts backgrounds? Listen!
Does he direct?
You are still worried that the selection of scholars through martial arts will steal the limelight from the imperial examination!
Let me ask you, haven’t you heard of thirty-year-old boys and fifty-year-old scholars?
Since some scholars have no hope of taking the imperial examination, or their families have no money to support their studies, why not find another way to join the army?
The more people in the army who are literate, the better! If all the generals in the world can read wisely and know the rules of etiquette, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be stronger!
This martial arts is so unique!
Warriors are also warriors of the country. How can there be a prosperous age under moral articles? Only when the country is rich and the people are strong, can we have soldiers for a hundred battles, and the people are martial, can we prosper for thousands of years!
