Chapter 451 The Difference between Confucianism and Legalism
"Similarly, the reason why laws are implemented is because the ministers who implement them act like a barrier like an iron pot."

"Throughout the past thousands of years, those who have violated laws and usurped power have always been the powerful class. These powerful people are often the ones who control the law."

"And those whom the law wants to punish are those who are in a lowly position."

"At this point, the people have nowhere to redress their grievances, and the dynasty has fallen into a vicious cycle. Once this situation is reached, the emperor only has the name of a monarch, but no reality."

"So much so that the top and bottom were turned upside down, and in the end the imperial power could only be eclipsed by the ministers."

Hear this.

The three Zhu brothers had different expressions, and they were already extremely shocked at this moment.

With Lin Che's advice, Zhu Biao suddenly understood everything, and finally understood another layer of the former's meaning. It turned out that the real purpose of his previous proposal to exempt from corvee was to recover more benefits, and was not one-sided as he understood.

As well as the strategic principle that before resisting foreign aggression, we must first pacify the domestic situation. In fact, it is not particularly difficult. The answer has been hidden in previous courses.

It’s just that I never discovered it.

Think of this.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He only regretted that he only had one head and didn't understand everything at the first time, which slowed down the pace.

If Lin Che hadn't made it clear, I don't know how long he would have hesitated.

This is so inappropriate.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for enlightening me. The students have been taught. Please accept your respects."

Seeing the nervous look on the prince's face, Lin Che had nothing to do with him.

If there wasn't something wrong with Zhu Xi, he definitely wouldn't have said these things, at least he wouldn't have told him the answer directly.

Instead of telling him what to do, teach him how to think.

Although governing the country cannot be formulaic, it can still be supported at critical moments. After all, not everyone can stay calm at all times.

The Zhu family are all too emotional, even if the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked, even the gentle and elegant prince has an extremely hot temper.

Not to mention those weird juniors.

However, now we can only deal with special matters, and we need to speed up the process. We can't let this stinky fish like Zhu Ping ruin the pot of soup.

Take back your thoughts.

Lin Che concluded: "The Confucian theory of good nature is essentially to persuade people to be good. This kind of persuasion is mainly based on motivation, saying that people should learn to be good and become good people."

"But the saving grace is that people become seemingly good people."

"Legalism is different. Legalism believes that human nature pursues profit, so people need to be restrained. This kind of restraint is mainly based on law."

"If you don't dare to face the darkness in your heart, how can you talk about governing the world?"

"Your father has done a good job in this aspect."

"You're still a little overheated."

Lin Che looked sideways at Zhu Ming, who looked unhappy, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.

“That’s what human nature is all about.”

"I wonder what else you don't understand, Your Highness, King Qin?"

"For your father, for your brother, please help me."

Zhu Xi: "!!!"

Regarding Lin Che's unreasonable anger, Zhu Xi felt that his hair stood on end and his scalp was numb. He would rather believe that the other party was just teasing him, rather than really seeing something.

Unfortunately, the truth was extremely cruel. Even if he tried to be calm and deceived himself, he still couldn't suppress the fear rising in his heart.

A moment of silence.

However, he saw that Zhu Xiang's eyes were wandering, and he felt guilty and did not dare to look at Lin Che. He said awkwardly and vaguely: "Mr. Lin is joking. Don't dare to talk nonsense. I still know how much the student weighs. If I can be a good vassal king and protect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty on behalf of my father and elder brother, that will be a high honor."

"As for other things, I don't have that much thought at all." "If it weren't for the imminent defeat, the students would not dare to disturb the teacher to learn these obscure issues."

"But my father won't allow it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for me to be a happy prince and live a comfortable life?"

"Sir, you don't know something. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the life of the royal family is not easy!"

"It's nothing more than a shiny surface."

After hearing Zhu Ping's low-profile explanation, Lin Che looked at the other person with great interest and smiled faintly, but she was not interested in exposing his little thoughts in public.

After all, he is Lao Zhu's son, and he is also the head of the vassal. Without mountains of evidence, all suspicions are just suspicions and of no use.

What's more, now that Queen Ma is still alive, even if Lao Zhu is ruthless and dares to punish his own flesh and blood, the former will never agree.

The Zhu family is in chaos.

Precisely because the Zhu family is different from the ordinary Tian family, there are many principle issues, and the results will not be very good.

In terms of love, it is understandable that parents dote on their sons.

As far as Li is concerned, if his parents are indulgent and indifferent, this will only get worse.

Think of this.

Lin Che let out a long silent sigh.

I still hope that the prince can understand his hint and nip the problem in the bud as soon as possible.

Don't wait until the day you take action, but neither side will be able to step down.

As Lin Che said bluntly before, what he cared about was never the life and death of the Zhu family, but the biggest change in China in thousands of years.

And whether the descendants of Yan and Huang can straighten their backs and regain the glory they once lost.

As for other things, he never cared.

As long as the prince can survive the death festival, not to mention that his own student Zhu Xi is not worthy of the throne, even Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor in history, is not worthy.

To put it bluntly, if the Ming Dynasty surpasses the past and does not serve as a link between the past and the future, then everything is just empty talk.

Will the forward flow of history cause the land of China to undergo a painful baptism again?

How easy is it to go against the will of heaven?
If you make one wrong move, you will lose everything.

Lin Che has experienced the same plot. If she had not experienced two reincarnations, she would not have been able to hone her tough character.

I'm afraid he has already become a complete madman.

Take back your thoughts.

Lin Che looked sideways at the serious-faced Crown Prince and said in a deep voice.

"Is there anything else you don't know about?"

"If nothing happens, go back as soon as possible. The fishing area is looking forward to the future in a bold way, so why not focus on the present first."

"You can't walk yet, how can you talk about running?"

"When you have nothing to do, talk to your dad more. He still has a lot of things that are worthy of your careful study."

"It's easy to recognize people, but difficult to employ them, so that the supreme power of intimidation is actually not very capable, and anyone can do it."

"However, like your father did back then, using an extremely humble status to gain support from all forces, and eventually swallowing up the world and establishing the Ming Dynasty, is the true path."

"understood?"

In response to Lin Che's earnest teachings, Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully, then stood up and bowed respectfully: "Yes, sir."

"Students take note."

"Only by gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools and learning from each other's strengths can we achieve a comprehensive understanding..."
