My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 177
"Cousin, what do you think of my hand?" Zhu Gaochi said triumphantly, he walked to Xu Jingchang's side, pulled the chair and sat on it, and proudly raised his legs.

"Did you instruct King Zhao?"

"That's right, the third child dare not not listen to me." Zhu Gaochi said with a chuckle, "I asked Hu Yan to collect all kinds of omissions in the mansion newspaper over the past year, such as rumors, exaggerations, out of nothing, and attacks on courtiers. ...I kept a whole box, and that kid couldn't escape my grasp."

Xu Jingchang's eyes widened, but he didn't say anything... Zhu Gaochi is quite vindictive, the so-called big fat people are narrow-minded, honestly don't deceive me!

"It's His Highness's intention to recommend Wu Shan and drag me into the water?"

"No!" Zhu Gaochi warned Xu Jingchang righteously, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't drag you into the water... We are in the same boat, we should help each other, help each other, support each other, don't you understand?"

Xu Jingchang stared at him directly, "I said that you are so anxious to attack Confucianism and deny the way of Confucius and Mencius, are you sure enough?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "Who dares to say that there is enough confidence in this kind of thing? But I am thinking about it. I will definitely not be able to do this. I have to rely on my father. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, it is to push forward as much as possible while His Majesty is in power. When you are enthroned, just follow your father's order and that's it. You are such a filial son!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Zhu Gaochi said without hesitation.

Xu Jingchang was even more speechless, am I complimenting you?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"What are you going to do now?"

Zhu Gaochi tried his best to widen his eyes, "What's the matter?"

Xu Jingchang snorted, "If you don't have something to offer, how dare you attack Confucianism rashly? Tell me quickly, and let's discuss it together."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. After all, Xu Jingchang would soon know what he knew... Zhu Di had been planning for a long time, and Xie Jin finally came up with something new.

Although it was only a prototype, it made Zhu Gaochi's eyes shine.

This system started from the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is also thanks to the merits of my virtuous brother. Xie Xie believes that the orthodoxy of Ming Dynasty lies in expelling the barbarians and restoring China. It lies in reviving the Han people."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "That's right, of course, it should be like this."

Zhu Gaochi grinned wryly, it's easy to say, do you know how much effort Xie Jin put in to come to this conclusion?
At the beginning of the Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang had about two choices, either to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han and Song Dynasties, or to accept the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty... Once King Xiaoming died, Song Lian and others would be happy if they worked out the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to admit it. Although he also realized afterwards that something was wrong, he still couldn't break through and was restricted.

This time Xu Jingchang brought up the old story again, and Xie Jin racked his brains and finally broke through the shackles of traditional Confucianism... Xie Jin believed that the Southern Song Dynasty perished, the Han Dynasty fell, and the destiny of heaven was cut off.

This formulation does not dare to be said to be earth-shattering, but it is almost the same... He denied the Confucian view that there is only one destiny and one destiny.

Destiny is no longer superior, and destiny is not the ultimate power to dominate the world...

Xu Jingchang said: "Just this one sentence negates the Confucian view of destiny. Xie Jin is really courageous."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "In fact, he didn't completely deny it. He meant that the will of heaven and man must be combined into one. Zhao Song is just too hopeless, so he is not worthy of controlling the destiny."

Zhao Song is not worthy of holding the destiny, who does that destiny belong to?

Don't ask, it must be Zhu Yuanzhang.

Emperor Taizu raised troops to challenge the Yuan Dynasty, crossed the Yangtze River, unified the south, drove away the soldiers, drove the Yuan Dynasty to the north, recovered the old land of Yanyun, and restored the Han family.

Seeing this, Xu Jingchang was a little downcast, he is indeed a great talent, he really knows how to flatter!
At most, he dared to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the country was comparable to Qin Shihuang's unification of the world.

But when he came to Xiejin, he directly said that the destiny inherited from Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties was broken by Zhao Song. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who regained the destiny.

What a shame!

Xu Jingchang gave up completely, but the next part surprised Xu Jingchang again, he couldn't help clapping his legs and exclaiming, "Xie Jin is really talented!"

It turned out that Xie Jin believed that the so-called Jianwen New Deal was actually the restoration of the old Confucianism, and wanted to overthrow the Taizu's laws... But now His Majesty, Feng Tianjing is difficult, is to maintain the Taizu's system, as a matter of course, to be filial and fair.

"Wonderful!"

When Xu Jingchang saw this, he was already thrown into the ground. Xie Jin deserved to be a great talent. This level of sensitivity was simply incredible!
In Confucianism, Zhu Di respected Tian Jingnan, saying that it was his uncle who took the throne from his nephew, and merged the Dazong with the Xiaozong... Even though he kept saying that Emperor Jianwen destroyed the law of the Taizu, his subordinates were all treacherous thieves Minister... But Jing Nan is always committing the following offenses, so it is difficult to explain clearly.

However, with the deciphering of the Confucian concept of destiny and the re-understanding of the significance of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the problem of Jingnan was also easily solved.

The New Deal created by Emperor Jianwen and his trusted ministers is a complete restoration of the old system. The biggest evidence is the well field that Fang Xiaoru worked on.

This set of things has been accompanied by the demise of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and it has been completely cut off. Emperor Jianwen and the others have gone against the grain and tried to call back the souls of the dead. , To defend the Daming country, the ancestors' orthodoxy, it is a matter of course, it is justified!
I have to say, up to now, Xu Jingchang has said that this set of principles is almost invulnerable... Anyway, it is much better than Dianxing who is always awkward.

Zhu Gaochi was even more elated, "Cousin, with this set of tools, my father's biggest problem is finally solved."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Indeed, but this set of things is still empty, and things need to be stuffed into it."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "That's right, Confucius emphasized benevolent government, and Xie Xueshi believes that the core of Ming Dynasty should be loyalty!"

"Loyalty?"

"Yes, to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, put the Ming Dynasty first." Zhu Gaochi waved his fist and said.

Xu Jingchang pondered for a while, "It's true. Since we are loyal to Ming Dynasty, we need to defend the interests of Ming Dynasty... So we proceed from the interests of the country and oppose this kind of tribute trade."

Zhu Gaochi laughed, "That's right, that's what I thought. This is the first thing to fill in."

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, in a good mood... "How about this, I will cook a few dishes myself, and invite Bachelor Xie to come over, and let's talk carefully."

Zhu Gaochi laughed loudly, "My virtuous brother's craftsmanship is naturally nothing to say, I will personally invite Bachelor Xie."

Not long after, Xie Jin came with Zhu Gaochi, and Wu Shan came with him.

Xu Jingchang also prepared [-] dishes, all of which were placed on the table, as well as fine wine from the cellar during the Hongwu period.

Wu Shan was dumbfounded, and his saliva flowed out, "My lord, you have spent a lot of money today!"

Xu Jingchang snorted, "I didn't prepare it for you, you just took advantage of it."

Wu Shan smiled and said, "I know, this is for Bachelor Xie."

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "I don't dare to take credit for it. In fact, many things in this are what Duke Ding said, and I am just greedy for the sky."

Zhu Gaochi sat down and said nonchalantly, "I don't care who deserves the credit. Let's fill my stomach first."

He picked up a lion's head and bit it down. The sweet and rich taste was simply indescribable.

"Let me tell you, cousin, your craftsmanship is really amazing, the imperial dining room is completely inferior to you!"

Hearing what he said, Xie Jin and Wu Shan also quickly grabbed a lion's head, adding up to four, so don't let them eat all of them.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, they continued to chat.

Xu Jingchang first said: "In the past, we used the Confucian family and country, and benevolence and righteousness were the norm...Confucius said that friends come from afar, and it is not unreasonable. As a result, we would rather suffer losses than entertain foreign envoys, even if we suffer losses, If you want to reverse it, you will encounter a lot of resistance."

"But now we have something new, putting the interests of Ming Dynasty first, and the people of Ming Dynasty first... Then we deal with external affairs, and it will be smooth immediately. As ministers of Ming Dynasty, it is only natural for us to defend the interests of Ming Dynasty!"

Xie Jin nodded again and again, "Mr. Dingguo really told the truth, and I have thought about it a lot... For example, Confucius said that his parents traveled far away, and it has been passed down for thousands of years, which has become a reason for opposing foreign development. Your Majesty proposes Xiyang can only be done by Eunuch Zheng, and above the court, no matter whether it is literary or martial arts, no one can stand up, it is really a tragedy for Daming!"

Zhu Gaochi also said: "That's right, now we can follow what Xu Qin said. He said that there is a certain amount of wealth in the world, and this world includes overseas. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is only right and proper to seek wealth for the country? Anyone who goes overseas to find wealth, and Those who achieve something will be rewarded, and the imperial court will not hesitate to increase officials and ranks."

Wu Shan also put down his chopsticks, and said in surprise: "So, the people who were exiled in barbarians and regarded as abandoned by the Celestial Dynasty may still be the heroes of Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "That's natural, maybe it's a great hero."

Wu Shan sighed: "It's different. It's different. It's just that I'm still a little worried. Can this set of things be pushed down? What if someone objects?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "There is inevitable opposition, and the resistance will be very strong, but are you afraid?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Anyway, with my father around, I'm not afraid."

Xie Jin also sighed: "At this point, I have no choice but to risk my life and get things done, otherwise I will be ruined and die without a place to die."

Xu Jingchang secretly planned, anyway, I have a duke of the country, at worst, I will stay at home behind closed doors!
Wu Shan: "..."

At this moment, someone suddenly sent a message, Xu Jingchang took it in his hand, and was shocked, "Someone rushed in front of us."

A few people moved forward and saw that it was written impressively that Yuan Gang, the county magistrate of Qufu, arrested more than [-] people from the family of the Confucian family!

This little magistrate really did it.
