back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 912 If you don't show off your power, you will treat me as a sick cat?

There is a reason for Lu Chengqi's disdain.

The allusion of "Half of the Analects of Confucius governing the world" originally came from Zhao Pu, the prime minister of Taizu.

There are historical records from time to time: "Du Shaoling's poem says: 'Children only learn the Analects of Confucius, and older children end up following the merchants.' It is also said that "The Analects" is a children's book. Zhao Pu Zaixiang, people say that people from Shandong, the readers only read "The Analects of Confucius" ", Emperor Gaozong tried to ask Pu in this language, but he did not hide it. He said to him: "What I know in my life, I can't say this. In the past, I used my half-assistant Taizu to rule the world, and now I want to use my half-assistant Majesty to bring peace." '"

This means that "The Analects of Confucius" was only "a book for children" at that time, and Zhao Pu, who had been a private school teacher, was naturally familiar with it.Dashun was just established, but its foundation was not stable. It is not surprising that "half of the "Analects of Confucius" ruled the world" was concocted and spread like wildfire under the meticulous fabrication and vigorous propaganda of the Confucian school; secondly, "The Analects of Confucius" As a Confucian classic, it is extremely important in maintaining the supremacy of imperial power, emphasizing the high and low, and adjusting social relations, or in daily life, it is also extremely important for obeying etiquette, maintaining ethics, and restraining behavior; The prime minister has a high position and authority, but he doesn't read much.What can be shown off and sold is only "The Analects of Confucius".

It is really ridiculous that these civil servants still embrace "ruling the world with half of the Analects of Confucius".

At that time, Zhao Pu was able to be a gentleman without reading many books, because under the rule of the previous dynasty, the people lived in poverty and had no leisure time to study.Although Zhao Pu didn't study much, he had real talents and practical work, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a prime minister.These civil officials can't see the essence, but only see "half of the Analects", which is really ridiculous.

If it is really possible to "govern the world with half of the Analects of Confucius", why do we need the law, the army, and the yamen?It would be nice for the people to govern themselves!
It is undeniable that "The Analects of Confucius" is a classic book of poetry, but this is too exaggerated the role of "The Analects of Confucius".In Lu Chengqi's view, "The Analects of Confucius" does have an effect on self-cultivation, and he spares no effort in persuading people to learn well.But if you really rely on "The Analects of Confucius" to rule the world, you are looking for a dead end.

Even if the Confucian classics are managed together, the country cannot be governed!

Most people who have become emperors understand this truth.Confucianism can only be used to stabilize society, but it cannot fight wars.If you want to truly govern the country, you have to work hard on the legalist, military, and Mohist mechanisms.

Etiquette kills without blood, this is the thing Lu Chengqi hates the most.Now that there is a law to follow, if any village chief, village chief, or patriarch dares to use the family law to kill someone again, Lu Chengqi will show the village chief, village chief, or patriarch what "national law" is!
"Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors must not be violated! Today, the status of craftsmen has been promoted again and again, and it has been a long time. It is definitely not the right way!"

A courtier held a court wat and said angrily.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

A large group of courtiers stood up and made up their minds to fight against the New Deal.In fact, Lu Chengqi knew their little Jiujiu, didn't he just look down on those craftsmen from the bottom of his heart!In their hearts, craftsmen are all "bitter" and ragged, and now they live better than them. As a high-ranking official before, how can they bear it?

Lu Chengqi took some time off and said, "Then I dare to ask you gentlemen, which one is the right way?" He was getting more and more used to it.Opponents of the New Deal, as long as they dragged their way through the muddy water, after a few days, they fell silent.Seeing that Dashun's national power is booming now, there will always be some people who are "unbalanced" in their hearts, and they have to jump out to show their existence in order to be satisfied.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, of course Confucianism is the right way!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

There was another burst of enthusiasm, but Lu Chengqi lacked interest, and really wanted to lower his eyelids and fall asleep.These civil servants are like this every time, slandering the New Deal on the sidelines, can't it be a little new?
"Why, I have never heard that the status of Confucianism has been impacted?" Lu Chengqi pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that someone tampered with the test questions last year?"

Seeing Lu Chengqi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, pretending to be stupid, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were a little upset, and they all jumped out and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if the status of artisans is raised again and again, the status of Confucianism will inevitably be endangered in the future. Qin Dynasty II died , all because of the Legalists; the unjust war in the Spring and Autumn Period, all because of the chaos caused by the military strategists; the Mohist mechanism is a strange skill, which can be compared with rice and wheat, but can it be eaten? So I think that Zhou etiquette should be restored, and Confucianism should be respected alone. Depose the Hundred Schools!"

Lu Chengqi frowned, staring at the official like a sober lion.

The official was also stubborn, um, maybe he was short-sighted, he couldn't see that Lu Chengqi's face changed, and he still talked freely: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, so he could drive out the Xiongnu and shock the desert; Emperor Qin ruled the country with Legalism , then the second generation will die, Your Majesty, I think..."

"What do you think? Do you think you are me?" Lu Chengqi interrupted him coldly, "You want to join the army and lead the army with civilian officials!" At this point, Lu Chengqi was so angry that he almost didn't stand up.

These heartbreaking words finally made the official come to his senses, and he fell down on the ground in fright, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty knows clearly, I have no such intention!"

At this time, all the civil servants present understood that his official career had come to an end.It's nothing more than to slander the New Deal. The emperor in front of him has experienced a lot over the years, and he turned a blind eye.But you still mention Confucianism, don't you want to restore the civil servants to lead the army in Yuanshou?The emperor could bear anything, but he absolutely couldn't bear someone who wanted to join the army.Don't you see, which one of the privy envoys in the Privy Council, the privy acquaintances, and even the clerks below is not from the army?Just because you want to join the army, even Grand Master Yang, who overshadowed the sky in Yuan Shou, couldn't do it!At most, it is to make indirect remarks and determine the candidates for civilian leaders.When the battle is over and the soldier talisman is handed in, what should be done or what should be done.After losing the battle, hehe, even Taishi Yang will be reprimanded.As time went by, Taishi Yang didn't want to do this thankless thing anymore.

Yuan Shou fashion is like this, let alone Lu Chengqi who regards military power as a taboo?

All the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty cast a self-inflicted look at the official kneeling on the ground, really reckless!
The civil servant also seemed to have foreseen his tragic end, cold sweat kept dripping down his back, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

In the Daqing Palace, the atmosphere seemed to freeze, extremely depressing.

I don't know how many years, so long that the civil servants have forgotten that Lu Chengqi, who was not interested just now, was a ruthless emperor who killed people without blinking an eye.The bloody lessons seem to be unable to wake them up.Perhaps the civil servants saw that Lu Chengqi had been amicable over the years. As long as he didn't threaten the New Deal, the army, etc., the emperor didn't care.

Things in the world are like this, if you take a step back, others will take a step forward, that's how you get ahead.

It wasn't until Lu Cheng enlightened them hard that they realized that the emperor was still the little emperor before, as iron-blooded and ruthless, and the old saying that being with a king is like a tiger, they finally remembered it.

"Da da da!"

There was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the hall, not only Lu Chengqi, but also the civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked: "Is there a military situation?"

　I wish you all a happy new year and a happy family!
