Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 145 The art of the emperor is all in this sentence
Zhu Biao frowned, benevolence and righteousness and domineering, law and virtue kept turning and wandering in his mind.

What is Mingjun?What is a tyrant?Shouldn't a king be a law-abiding and benevolent man?

Is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a wise emperor?Then why did he praise Li Guang who murdered indiscriminately, and cover up Huo Qubing who shot and killed Li Gan?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a tyrant?Then why was he able to expel the Huns and completely imprint the glory of the great Han on the blood of the Chinese nation?
"Father, do you think that what Emperor Wu of the Han did was right?" Zhu Biao asked Lao Zhu.

"Of course that's right!" Lao Zhu replied firmly.

"A mere Li Gan, if you kill him, you will kill him."

"If we were the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we would only be more ruthless than him! Even worse! Even in the history books, we will definitely not find the slightest fault of Huo Qubing!"

"Why?" Zhu Biao was puzzled. "Father, didn't you also warn me that court laws are the foundation of a country and should not be ignored."

"The masters also said that the prince should commit the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. Da Ming Law was formulated by you yourself. Why do you take the lead in violating it now?"

"External Confucianism and internal law should be the way of the emperor. How can the emperor break the ban and make the people obey?"

"Stupid!" Seeing that Zhu Biao was still obsessed with obsession, Old Zhu was even more furious. "You have been taught too much by those Confucian masters."

"Those literati should be killed!"

Originally, I only felt that Zhu Biao was too benevolent, but he was a good boy in other respects.But he didn't expect that Confucianism was so deeply ingrained in his heart, and Lao Zhu was immediately furious with those Confucian scholars who taught Zhu Biao!

Seeing this, Zhu Su hurriedly stood in front of Lao Zhu, separating the father and son.He woke up Zhu Biao first and said, "Brother, you are on the tip of your horn."

"We must first find out, is the so-called emperor the emperor of Confucian morality, or the emperor of the people of the world?"

"... Confucianism is used to govern the country. Is there any difference between the two?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Of course it's different!" Zhu Su said loudly. "During the Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou formulated the rituals of the week. Did Confucianism exist at that time?"

"Is the Zhou Dynasty no longer governing the country?"

"During the Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin could respect Confucianism? How could the Great Qin unify the six countries?"

"In the final analysis, why do I, Huaxia, dismiss hundreds of schools and only respect Confucianism? Brother is familiar with history books, have you ever thought about this issue?"

"The common people don't think about this issue, the scholars don't think about it, but as the prince, the elder brother absolutely has to think about it!"

Zhu Biao had already grasped the clue, and was looking at Zhu Su, who was talking eloquently, in shock.Even Lao Zhu turned his head in surprise at some point, and stared at the face of the fifth son with a pair of shining tiger eyes.

Zhu Suzheng was talking about the fun, but he didn't notice it, but continued to say with emotion: "Being an emperor is not just about having a supreme status, but also shouldering extremely heavy responsibilities."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools, not because Confucianism is really a good law that is difficult for all ages. Confucius was not born in the sky, and there will still be days and nights in the world, and it will not really be like a long night. It is just because Confucianism is loyal, filial, and righteous. It is most suitable for the big man to teach and control the scholars and common people, so as to facilitate Liu's knowledge of governing the country!"

"It was lifted up to the altar by the emperor, just because of two words, easy to use! That's all!"

"The emperor needs everyone to believe in it and worship him. But the royal family must not believe in this thing that was lifted up by itself."

"Only by respecting Confucianism and not believing in Confucianism can we become a generation of heros who open up territories!"

This sentence is tantamount to tearing away the sacred veil of Confucianism from the root.Since Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism has been rooted in the land of China through the multiplication of dynasties and dynasties, and has become the only prominent school in this land.

Confucianism is a good way to govern the country, Confucianism educates the common people, Confucianism is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth!Confucianism has described to the emperors of all dynasties, including Zhu Biao, an extremely beautiful world of great harmony that seems to have a road to reach!
It can be said that the world of great harmony depicted by Confucianism is Zhu Biao's most respected goal of governing the country in the future.

But now the fifth brother said that Confucianism was carried up by the emperor, and the emperor should not believe in Confucianism!
Zhu Biao felt that the pillar of his heart seemed to be gradually collapsing.

"Then...then what should the royal family believe in? Do they believe in the Fa?" Zhu Biao took two steps back, his voice somewhat bewildered. "But just now you and dad also said that there was nothing wrong with Emperor Wu of the Han's disregard of the law..."

"There is nothing wrong with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respecting Confucianism but not believing in Confucianism. It is also not wrong for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to take the lead in breaking the law while knowing the law. The emperor is also the patriarch of all Chinese people. As the patriarch, there is only one rule to follow."

"Everything must be prioritized in the interests of the country!"

"National interests?" Zhu Biao's eyes flashed, and his broken heart seemed to have found a new pillar.

"Not bad." Zhu Su nodded.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered to praise Li Guang knowing that he was guilty, because Li Guang was useful to the country at this time. He also needed to use him to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not wrong even though he violated the law."

"Knowing that Huo Qubing killed Li Gan unjustly, but shielding him is because Huo Qubing is a powerful man in the Han army, and protecting him is far more polite to a big man than sinning him. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with it."

"In the same way, it's not wrong for father to want to punish Ru Taisu. Although Ru Taisu has a close relationship with elder brother, he ignores your usual words and impeaches you when you are not around. To put it mildly, it is to provoke you My brotherly love. To put it too big, it is arrogant, disobedient and disobedient!"

"If you let this beast go, in the future, the officials under you will act recklessly with their own ideas. How will you lead the officials? How will you be my emperor in the future?"

"Brother, you have also heard me talk about the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang, right?"

"He himself left a name of benevolence in the history books, but so what? It's just a clay puppet."

"After my son inherited the position, he still had to wrestle with the senior civil servants. In the end, he even fell into the water and died for no apparent reason!"

"Civilian officials exercise power, this case is absolutely unacceptable! If Dad wants to kill Ru Taisu, he can kill him!"

"Well said!" Old Zhu yelled suddenly, startling Zhu Su who was talking eloquently, and Zhu Biao who was thoughtful.

He stretched out his bear-like big hands, and patted Zhu Su's back approvingly, almost missing Zhu Su's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. "Old Five said that well! How wonderful!"

"Biao'er, don't you understand? As an emperor, you should not consider benevolence or legal system."

"Everything in the world is just a means for the emperor to govern the country!"

"Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I was bound by the whip I hold in my hand instead?"

"Old Five is right. As an emperor, the only thing to consider is profit! There can only be profit!"

"If it's good for my Ming Dynasty, as long as the price is enough, what if I overthrow this law and all that shit Confucianism?"

"Just worry about my Ming's interests."

"The emperor's art is only in this sentence! You have to understand, you must understand!"

Old Zhu's eyes fixed on Zhu Biao.
