Luo Youdu looked at Zhang Zhao who was sweating profusely. His face did not have a smile, but a solemn look.
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Zhao looked at the solemn king and felt a little nervous in his heart, but then a trace of fortitude flashed in his eyes and he said: "Of course it counts, but the situation a thousand years ago was different from now...the standards of scholar-bureaucrats are also different."
Luo Youdu said with a cold face, "What's the difference, Zhang Qing? Who determines this difference? Or do you think who is a scholar-official and who is a scholar-official? Whoever says otherwise is not?"
Zhang Zhao's face turned pale and his body swayed. He did not directly answer Luo Youdu's words. Instead, he stayed for a long time, with disbelief in his eyes, and bowed tremblingly: "How can your majesty treat this old minister like this? I am a very old minister.
Now, half of my body has been buried in the ground. I have absolutely no selfish intentions. I only wish that your majesty’s country will last forever.”
He couldn't help but burst into tears as he spoke.
He felt that he had been wronged and was greatly wronged.
As a person who started from the late Tang Dynasty and lived through most of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, I deeply understand the dangers of martial arts.
They suffered so much suppression that they did not trust the loyalty of military commanders at all.
Luo Youdu is here, everything is easy to say, just in case like Guo Rong, there are three advantages and two disadvantages, leaving a young prince.
Isn't maintaining the turmoil for nearly a century just starting over?
Even if Luo Youdu has the ability to suppress military commanders, what about the future?
Everyone is mortal. Will the future emperor be able to suppress the arrogant and powerful generals?
Military generals and reckless men are all disloyal and unjust people. On the contrary, they literati are deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. In terms of loyalty, they are far superior to military generals and reckless men.
Zhang Zhao learned the lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, maintained the emerging circle of scholar-bureaucrats, and promoted the status of civil servants, not for himself as the leader of the scholar community, but for the future of the court, and for good governance that would benefit the future.
Luo Youdu actually questioned their purpose and suspected their selfishness...
Zhang Zhao was so old that he burst into tears in this temple.
When Luo Youdu saw this, his heart softened.
In fact, he could feel that a large number of people in this court really thought about him, the emperor, and the Luo Yu court.
They really want Luo Yu's court to be well, and they really want to assist Zuo to achieve great things and create brilliance, so that they can both prosper and suffer.

They looked at the lessons learned from the past, and the tragic situation of the Central Plains caused by warriors came to mind.
If it weren't for a group of warriors attacking each other, acting selfishly and betraying the interests of China, how could the Khitan barbarians kill Bianjing and become the emperor of the Central Plains for several years?
They really think their choice is right.
They, as a group, felt that Luo Youdu's trust in many generals would most likely lead to history repeating itself, allowing the other side to defeat the superior.
Improving the status of scholar-bureaucrats and civil servants can effectively prevent military commanders from rebelling.
The civil servants standing in this temple, who have experienced the chaos of the Five Dynasties, are not willing to trust the generals.
This kind of prejudice has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow after decades of development in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
So Zhang Zhao's attitude is not that of one person, but of a group of people.
But as a leader, Zhang Zhao was the first to bear the brunt.
Luo Youdu was soft-hearted, but his attitude did not change. He still said resolutely: "The situation a thousand years ago was different from now. I agree with this statement. After all, Kong Sheng was a person from a thousand years ago. Considering the national conditions, many views and truths may not necessarily be true.
It is suitable for now. But right and wrong, right and wrong, should be decided by the court. I understand Zhang Qing's loyalty, and I also understand Zhang Qing's concerns. But I think the most undesirable thing in this world is overcorrection."
Luo Youdu's greatest advantage is that he can look to the future. Compared with contemporary people who are crossing the river by feeling for stones, he can clearly know which way is right and which way is wrong; which way is rough and which way is rough.
Roads are shortcuts.
Luo Youdu personally believed that the destruction of the civil-military balance and the rise of the scholar-bureaucrat group would have great harm to the overall process of the Central Plains dynasty.
The final analysis is that the Zhao and Song dynasties overcorrected for the military commanders of the vassal towns and vassal towns in the late Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
But there is one thing to say, without looking at God’s perspective, many of the decisions made by the Zhao and Song Dynasty are very consistent with the current national conditions.
Whether it was Zhao Kuangyin or later Zhao Kuangyi, as those who had experienced the Wufu dictatorship era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms when etiquette collapsed and music was broken, they were well aware of the threat of Wufu.
The Zhao family's own empire was won by military power, how could they not block this road?
Even Luo Youdu himself continued to confiscate the power of generals and military envoys after he succeeded to the throne to ensure his own safety.
The original intentions of many systems are good, but they deteriorate when interests are actually involved.
Zhao Kuangyin promoted the literati and suppressed the military men, and gave him the privilege of "not killing those who wrote letters to speak out". As a result, "the emperor bowed his head and ruled the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats."
In the end, a group of scholar-bureaucrats were fattened.
In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor bowed his head and ruled the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats. It evolved into the emperor bowed his bow and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world, directly eliminating the emperor. Half of the history of the Ming Dynasty is about the emperor and his ministers fighting each other.
The military commander alone will bring trouble to the world, the literati will be alone, and the emperor will be just a decoration.
Even though his original intention was commendable, Luo Youdu did not allow history to repeat itself. He said word for word: "I want to recruit famous people from all over the world to revise the lectures on the Five Classics..."
Zhang Zhao's face was even more pale. He compiled the "Five Classics" that is popular today, and he and a group of so-called scholar-bureaucrats who supported him have the right to interpret this aspect.
Luo Youdu wants to take back this right of interpretation.
Zhang Zhaozheng was about to speak, but he heard: "I have been reading ancient books recently and found that due to the war, many classics have been lost or are on the verge of being lost. I want to compile a similar book that collects all the Chinese classics in Dacheng. This masterpiece will show the prestige of the country."
, Blessing all generations, all the books on classics and history collected from hundreds of schools of thought since the time of the Deed, as for astronomy, geographies, yin and yang, medicine and divination, monks and Taoism, and technical skills, they are all-encompassing and all-encompassing."
As soon as he said these words, the officials in the hall were instantly moved.
This is a great thing that will go down in history.
Zhang Zhao also secretly wiped away his tears and looked pitifully at Luo Youdu who was above him.
In fact, the current Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism founded by Confucius.
Confucianism has integrated the interests of all parties during its thousands of years of development. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, it has been mixed with messy things. The gentry of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the clans of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even the scholar-bureaucrat group of the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's
The same is true for the civil service group.
Rather than letting the great Confucians add private goods themselves, it is better to give the power of interpretation to the state. Let the great Confucian scholars from all over the world rebuild it with the support of the imperial court to benefit the development of the country.
Confucianism is an all-encompassing science. In later generations of Confucianism, we can see the thoughts of many schools of thought. This is also the result of the great cultural integration.
If the lecture notes on the Reconstruction of the Five Classics were to be published alone, it would probably not have the support of a truly influential Confucian scholar.
But if we talk about the compilation of a masterpiece that can be passed down for thousands of years, like "Yongle Dadian", the meaning is different.
