Chapter 154 Confused
"Get out, get out of here!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

"Wei Chen, please retire!" Li Wei yelled back, and then, under Zhu Yuanzhang's furious gaze, he turned around and left angrily!
When he reached the door, he paused and looked at the door of Qianqing Palace. Thinking that the weather was quite cold now, he kindly closed the door for Zhu Yuanzhang before leaving.

"Dangdang!"

After a loud noise, Li Wei stood outside the palace, looked at the Qianqing Palace Square that had remained unchanged, sighed in disappointment, and walked away silently and quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous roar came from behind.

"You bastard, how dare you slam down our door!"

"Father, calm down, calm down."

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and Zhu Biao held him back from chasing him out to beat anyone.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly calmed down.

He looked at the direction Li Wei was leaving, his eyes narrowed and his gaze was deep. After a moment, he suddenly said quietly: "Biao'er, do you think what this guy said is right?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and then began to ponder. What Li Wei said just now was completely opposite to the Confucian ethics he had learned. However, thinking of Li Wei's famous saying "There is no high or low position, no one is noble or low", he instinctively felt that this The statement also makes sense.

For a moment, Zhu Biao hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a moment, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he snorted coldly and asked and answered to himself:
"Humph, of course he is right. Princes, generals, and Xiangning have a certain kind. We ascend to the great position with a commoner's body, and we don't understand the principle of not being judged by our birthplace."

When Zhu Biao heard this, his eyes were shocked. He did not expect that his father, the emperor, would say such words. If others said this, it would be a treasonous and rebellious rhythm!Does the father want to rebel against himself?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him indifferently and continued: "But right and wrong are one thing, and doing is another. You have to remember that as a king, you can't just look at right and wrong, but you must take a long-term view and take the country and the country into account. It’s important!”

He was born as a commoner and has come step by step to where he is today. Of course he understands that what Li Wei said is right, but he also understands that it is impossible!
It is not that the concept of equality has never appeared before. In the biographies of Shang Jun in the Historical Records, there is a record that "princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as the common people", but saying it is one thing and doing it is another.

He knows human nature too well. No matter how selfless a person is, he will have selfish motives, but the degree is different. When a person has power, he will definitely no longer be equal to other people.

Just like the boss has the right to distribute profits, it is impossible to distribute benefits to employees according to their work. They will only take more from the perspective of their own interests, regard employees as costs, and squeeze them as much as possible.

As for what Li Wei said that he might not be a powerful person, Zhu Yuanzhang could only laugh at him for being stupid and naive. Even if you are a saint, you can be selfless, but the people under you can't, and the majority will always be selfish.

This is reality, this is human nature!
In fact, this is exactly what the Ming Dynasty is facing now. He himself can be diligent and thrifty and considerate of the people, but these civil and military ministers who are fighting with him to conquer the world, the Wu ones are clamoring for glory and wealth from him, while the Wen ones are secretly sneaking around. They were corrupt and perverted the law, and they were killed endlessly.

Even though he has given these civil and military personnel superior privileges and favors, they are still not satisfied. If he dares to cancel all these and take these civil and military personnel to live a common life with him, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will immediately Falling apart.

Of course, he himself has selfish motives, but it is rare for him to be diligent in his duties and take into account the interests of the people while maintaining the imperial power.

As for the equality of civilians, he can't do it, and he doesn't believe that anyone can do it. Li Wei dares to say that just because he hasn't reached this position yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang broke these truths into pieces and explained them in detail to the elder. Zhu Biao was shocked and puzzled at the same time.

"Father, since you know this, why didn't you make it clear to Li Wei just now?"

"Why are you telling him this? Do you want him to come to our place to experience it?"

Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard this. Yes, these are the emperor's arts. They can see through people's hearts and control their hearts. Of course, his father would not say these words to a minister.

"Humph, he can't understand that he is stupid. That's fine. We like him better!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and sighed softly.

Zhu Biao was silent. The Confucian education he received since childhood was all about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, gentleness, courtesy and frugality. Later, his father was dissatisfied with what he learned and drove away Song Lian and others to teach him personally.

However, what he later learned from his father was completely different from what he had learned from Song Lian before, which caused a sense of fragmentation in his thoughts and concepts, and he often felt confused.

To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure, but as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he had to think hard because he knew that if he didn't think clearly, he would make mistakes in the future and harm countless people and the country of the Ming Dynasty. Sheji.

……

Li Wei left the palace and went to the Jiaofangsi, shaking his head and sighing in frustration along the way.

He had regretted it since he first left the palace. This time he was too impulsive. After enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it back.

Adults should manage their emotions well. However, some people can do this easily, while some people can't do it in their lifetime.

Li Wei wanted to grow, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor after all. Although Zhu Yuanzhang promised not to involve others this time, this old man's credit score was seriously insufficient. He shouldn't talk like this. Unfortunately, he still couldn't control himself in the end.

In the Jiaofang Department, young girls were performing on the stage, and there were a few sparse guests below.

Xu Yao's death has cast a shadow over everyone in the Jiaofang Department, and the performances of these girls are not as lively and cheerful as before.

Li Wei looked at it, frowned, thought for a moment, and then went to the back hall to call Feng Jingchun over. "Master Feng, please don't perform these shows anymore. I will take back all these clothes later!"

Li Wei sighed in his heart for a while, but still made this difficult decision.

Xu Yao was executed just because she was pretty and dressed nicer. With these girls dressed like this, there was really no guarantee that one day they would follow in Xu Yao’s footsteps. He couldn’t risk the lives of these little girls. This is the end of these shows.

Of course, politically correct programs like Loyalty to the Country can still be vigorously promoted, but in the future we can only do dance music.

"Hey, sir, I will ask the girls to change their clothes when they come down."

Feng Jingchun also sighed and agreed. To be honest, he thought these programs were quite good and indeed popular, but he also understood the reason why Li Wei made this decision, so he didn't say more.

Li Wei paused for a moment and then asked: "Where is Xu Yao buried?"

"Buried in Qingliang Mountain."

Feng Jingchun replied.

Xu Yao had no relatives and no relatives. After she was executed in the palace, her body was left to the Jiaofang Division to handle. Feng Jingchun arranged for someone to bury her on a barren mountain in the outskirts.

After hearing this, Li Wei felt a little uncomfortable. This young woman in her early twenties, who was in her prime of life, had not experienced love between men and women, let alone enjoyed the warmth of family. She died tragically and innocently at such a young age. After her death There are not even any relatives who can burn paper to pay homage.

"call……"

Li Wei exhaled a long breath, and the depression in his heart eased slightly, and said softly to Feng Jingchun:

"Prepare some paper money as a tribute for me, and I'll go pay my respects."

"Good lord."

Feng Jingchun agreed and turned around to prepare.

After a while, he came back with a musician, who was holding the things Li Wei wanted.

"Sir, this is Quanzi. He knows the location. Let him take you there."

Feng Jingchun pointed to the [-] or [-]-year-old musician behind him and said, he is a Lehu, and his son is naturally the same. Household registrations in the Ming Dynasty are passed down from generation to generation.

Feng Jingchun's son bowed respectfully to Li Wei, and Li Wei nodded in response.

"Okay, then you come with me."

With that said, Li Wei stood up and walked out of the Jiaofang Division with Xiao Feng.

Qingliang Mountain lives up to its name, it is indeed very cool. There are some bare dead trees scattered on the mountain, and there are some yellow weeds on the ground. Among the weeds, there are scattered some raised mounds of soil, which are some poverty. It's someone's grave.

Li Wei had only seen this kind of scene when he was a child in the countryside. He had not been to this kind of place for more than ten years since he went to college and left his hometown. Now it felt familiar and strange to him.

Xiao Feng took him to an obviously new grave and pointed: "Sir, this is the grave of Sister Xu Yao."

Li Wei took a look and saw that the tomb was just a bright mound of earth. The only thing that proved it was a tomb was a few bricks piled in front of the mound to form a small hole.

"Well, okay, you can put down your things and go back first. I can stay here by myself."

Li Wei said softly to Xiao Feng.

"Ah? Sir, don't you need me to accompany you?" Xiao Feng said with a surprised look on his face.

To be honest, he would be a little scared if he were allowed to stay here by himself in this deserted mountain. After all, he was only a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old child.

Li Wei saw what he was thinking, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you can go back first, I can do it myself, don't worry."

With that said, Li Wei took the initiative to reach out and take the things in his hand, and then waved to him.

Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, then obediently turned around and walked back. Not far away, he looked back at Li Wei. Li Wei waved to him again, and then he quickly left the barren mountain.

After he left, Li Wei opened the wooden box, took out a few plates, placed the tributes on both sides of the brick hole, then lit the incense candle with a fire stick, took out some paper money and burned it in front of the brick hole.

Li Wei squatted in front of the fire, adding paper money to it, and fell into confusion.
