Chapter 65 Confucianism is Just a Course of Ideology and Morality

Zhu Yuanzhang only reacted at this time and quickly bowed his hands and said with a wry smile.

"Brother Ming, don't be angry, this is what you just mentioned, Mr. Li Shanchang and Mr. Li."

"Sir is a great scholar in Confucianism. I heard you say bad things about Confucianism so much that I made a mistake..."

Wang Ming sneered: "I know he is Li Shanchang, and I also know he is a smart person."

"But now it seems that he is just a clever, not a big clever, without great wisdom, and is even stupid, and can do stupid things."

"The last stupid thing was that he abandoned you after you were taken down by Guo Zixing. He couldn't blame him all that time. After all, the scholar met a soldier and couldn't explain it clearly. If he didn't want to join Guo Zixing, he would probably have lost his life."

"But this time, I'm chatting with you and talking, and he's just going to interrupt. If he thinks it's wrong, he can convince others, but he's so stupid that he puts a high hat on me, saying that I'm a monster, and that he's confusing the crowd, and he's going to kill me."

"If you really don't commit suicide, you won't die. Such a stupid person, just slapping him a few times is already your face."

"Next time, I will kill you!"

"Also, what do you mean to say bad things about Confucianism?"

"I said that the country is governed by Confucianism, and Guozha will not last long. Do you think it is bad things?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said whisperingly.

"This, Confucianism is a knowledge established by saints, and the rule of Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years since ancient times, and it has been like this in all dynasties..."

"Is this true in all dynasties?"

"I'll ask you, do you know when Confucianism flourished and governed the country with Confucianism?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also read a lot of historical books and said:

"It started from the Han Dynasty."

Wang Ming snorted again.

"I'm wrong, I'm half wrong when I'm prepared! Yuanzhang, you still read too little."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

"I remember history records that Confucianism flourished from the Han Dynasty, abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, and thus flourished."

"Why is it that the wrong half of the word? What does this mean?"

Wang Ming shook his head and pointed his finger at Li Shanchang, who had just struggled to get up, was clenching his fists and angry eyes.

"Li Shanchang, you are a Confucian scholar. When did Confucianism flourish?"

Li Shanchang ignored Wang Ming and said with hatred:

"Die will die!"

"Demon! No matter how big a magic you have, don't want me to bow my head! If you want to kill and cut, you will be the only one who can do it!"

Wang Ming was so happy when he saw Li Shanchang's attitude.

So he laughed sarcastically: "Who are you showing off your show in this way?"

"If you were really not afraid of death, how could you abandon Zhu Yuanzhang and follow Guo Zixing back then?"

"I had said good things to you in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and I was helpless to say that you were helpless. After all, it was hard to explain the reason when a scholar met a soldier, let alone a general in charge of the soldier. If you don't follow, you will be dead."

"I think about it now, but I am kind enough to feed the dog."

"You think you are Zhu Yuanzhang's military counselor. I won't kill you in front of Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"You are indeed a little clever, and I really can't kill you because of this little thing."

"But I will tell you directly that if you dare to interrupt and talk too much in the future, the next time, you will lose a few teeth!"

"There is a second time, you will cut your tongue! There is a third time, let your head move!"

"You, you! You! You!…"

Li Shanchang could only be dumbfounded when facing Wang Ming's threat, and did not dare to say more. He could only blush with shame and anger on his face, but he did not dare to say the second word.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly spoke, and made a smooth move, giving Li Shanchang a way out.

"Sir, sir, don't be angry. Please give me some advice on Yuanzhang, where did the great rise of Confucianism come from? I said it started from the Han Dynasty. Why did Brother Ming say I was wrong, but only half of it?"

Li Shanchang bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang when he heard this.

"Advance, this demon..."

"Hmm?!" Wang Ming's eyes were cold.

Li Shanchang's tongue was knotted, and he swallowed, saying:

"This is why this person said that he was half wrong."

"It should be said that the superiors are half right."

Wang Ming snorted disdainfully. Li Shanchang really flattered. Half of this is wrong and half of it. The meaning is actually the same, but the senses of the listeners are different.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more curious when he heard it.

"Oh? Sir, why are you half right?"

"At the throne, the great rise of Confucianism did begin in the Han Dynasty, but not in the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, but after the three dynasties of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, it began to rise in the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne and the Han Dynasty had already begun to rise, but there was still dissonance, the north and south borders were restless, the Huns repeatedly invaded the border, and the foreign kings of various countries within the territory were vaguely independent, which was not conducive to rule."

"So, a great scholar, Mr. Dong Zhongshu, at that time, made a suggestion to Emperor Wu of Han, point out that 'abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone', and also implemented the order of reinforcing grace in order to strengthen centralization, from name to reality, to think of it. Since then, the Han Dynasty has been prosperous, expelling the Huns, opening up the Western Regions, opening up the Silk Road, and then fought everywhere, annexing the Koreans, regaining the old land of South Vietnam, subjugating the barbarians in the southwest, and expeditioning Dayuan, reaching the Yinshan Mountains in the north, crossing the Pamir Mountains in the west, covering the vast territory of Korea in the east! The vast Han Dynasty was flourishing because of Confucianism!"

"Since this thousand years, our Confucianism has flourished and has been passed down for thousands of years. The rule of all dynasties is inseparable from Confucianism!"

"But this monster... this person said that Confucianism governs the country. Guozha has not been long, but it is really a monster... I'll ask you to take a clear understanding!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded constantly.

"So that's it. It was after Emperor Wu of Han, not at the beginning of the Han Dynasty..."

"Brother Ming, look, the Han Dynasty is the only one respects Confucianism, and the Han Dynasty is in great success. Brother Ming, what do you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhangxiao looked at Wang Ming interestingly, his eyes full of unpredictable magic.

He really wanted to hear what different opinions and ideas this god had.

Wang Ming smiled faintly and said, "Avoid the important and the minor ones. Why don't you talk about the historical evaluation of Emperor Wu of Han's wise and powerful martial arts in the early stage, but later the military was strong and powerful? In the end, I had to issue an edict to restart the policy of rest and recuperation in the early Han Dynasty?"

"It was also the later Emperor Wu of Han who woke up and restored the old politics of the early Han Dynasty. Only then did the Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, the later Zhaoxuan revival barely restore the vitality of the Han Dynasty."

"However, the Han Dynasty was more prepared for the Western Han Dynasty. Because Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism flourished after his death, but it caused most corrupt scholars to steal high positions and eat freely in the late Western Han Dynasty, which indirectly led to political corruption, serious land annexation, and social unrest in the late Western Han Dynasty."

"There are even more suspected time traveler Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. Since then, the Western Han Dynasty has been destroyed and the new dynasty is established!"

"In the future, if Liu Xiu had not been helped by God to rebuild the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would have had only been destined for two hundred years."

"I said Confucianism is a disaster for the country, and the country is not a random talk."

"What is Confucianism? It is essentially a subject of ideological and moral character. The Analects of Confucius is just a book recorded by the disciples of Confucius' disciples of his words and deeds."

"Can there be no problems with the saints' thoughts and morals to govern the country?"

"The reason why a saint is a saint is because a saint is a perfect image that even a billion people may not be able to produce."

"You can learn the sage's ideological and moral character, but if you govern the country with the sage's ideological and moral character, it would be a huge mistake!"

"The sage's thoughts and morals are used to learn, not to speak, nor are they required to do it."

"There is a saying that governing a country cannot be separated from Confucianism, but if you rely solely on Confucianism, there will inevitably be big problems."

"Most of the officials are scholars who study Confucianism. These scholars have a lot of knowledge, but they don't have any other skills. They make people talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, but after they become officials, they are more vicious than anyone else..."

"Zhu Yuanzhang, your parents were forced to death back then. The first culprit was the Yuan court, but the second culprit was these corrupt officials who spoke of morality and righteousness!"

"Before Emperor Wu of Han, the Han Dynasty governed the country by Taoist Huang-Laoxue."

"Huang Lao Xue is quite good at governing the country. Why did Emperor Wu of Han insist on changing it?"

"In fact, it is just the reason why Emperor Wu of Han took a fancy to Dong Zhongshu's proposal that Confucianism could strengthen centralization."

"But then again, Confucianism is certainly helpful to strengthen centralization, but it is completely unnecessary to abolish all schools of thought!"

"This is the greatest selfish intention of Confucianism!"

"It was precisely because of Confucianism that the later Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed."

"Yuanzhang, Liu Xiu had the help of heaven to rebuild the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Now, if you have my help, I will definitely help you overthrow the Yuan court and rebuild the Han people's throne!"

"Although it's still a bit far away to say this now, it's not enough to plan for a lifetime. You should think in advance whether you should continue to respect Confucianism alone in the future!"

"I will just say one thing, only by Confucianism, the country will definitely be less than three hundred years!"

"Confucianism has advantages, but it is not only Confucianism."

"Confucianism governs the country with morality, but can only be supplemented."

"The core is to govern the country according to law."
