After this conversation, many civil officials under Zhu Yuanzhang, whether new or old, were like spring breeze, especially Jia Lu and Zhu Sheng. The two old men couldn't help laughing, which could be said to be a great comfort to the old man.

In fact, they had similar situations with Liu Bowen. Both of them were officials of the Yuan court, and Jia Lu even became the Left Chief of the Secretariat, and was at the highest level.

Even if they have completely seen through the essence of the Yuan court, they have no intention of summoning souls for the Yuan court. However, the past experiences cannot be erased, and there will always be people who are talking and pointing fingers.

For example, after Zhu Sheng assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in history to win the world, he immediately retreated bravely and no longer interfered with the government. As a top adviser who proposed the Nine-character Mantra, he did not make much achievements after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. It has to be said that the water here is so deep that he can't grasp it!

But today's situation is very different.

The discussion hosted by Zhang Ximeng completely formed a new discussion... If this thing continues to develop, it will be comparable to Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man, and it will even be a higher level!

Many people in later generations were grateful to Zulong and praised Qin Shihuang's contributions. Without Brother Zheng, there would be no unified land of China... This is true and there is no mistake at all. It is not an exaggeration to praise Zulong.

But don't forget that the Qin Dynasty died in two lifetimes, and only 15 years of unification of the world. After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Xiang Yu divided the princes and divided the Central Plains into even more fragmented than the Warring States Period.

If Xiang Yu continues his path, the short-term unification of the land of China may be like the Mauryan Dynasty.

At this time, Liu Bang stood up and took over the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. The Han inherited the Qin system, took on the burden of Zulong, and continued to complete the career that Zulong had not completed... After the efforts of the kings of the early Han Dynasty, they finally maintained the situation of unification, and it lasted for hundreds of years.

From then on, the great unification was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter how the dynasty changes, no one can resist the overall situation of unification!

It is precisely because of this that the people in the Central Plains regard themselves as Han people. Just this point, we can know that the Liu family’s achievements are not even under the Ancestral Dragon.

The Liu family did not become emperors all at once. After Liu Bang established his country, he was rebelled by a king of different surnames, encountered the invasion of the Huns, worked hard to suppress the rebellion, and was exhausted to death.

Then the foreign relatives were tyrannical, the Lü family ruled, and then the seven kingdoms rebelled. Although there was a rule of Wen and Jing, the world in the early Han Dynasty was still chaotic, and it was so difficult to maintain a unified situation!

At this time, the baton of history was in the hands of Emperor Wu of Han.

Working hard to govern and fight against the Huns, Liu Che not only eliminated all hidden dangers that threatened the unification, but also pushed the Central Plains dynasty to a new peak. Qin Emperor and Han Wu, running side by side, was the greatest affirmation of him.

Coincidentally, at this time, another Confucian scholar stood up and proposed the three strategies of heaven and man, instigated the emperor, abolished all schools of thought, and respected Confucianism alone.

Injected thoughts and soul into this unified country!

Dong Zhongshu advocated the resonance of heaven and man, the power of the king was granted to God, the abolishment of all schools of thought, respecting Confucianism alone, and advocating great unification, emphasizing respect for kings and expelling barbarians... His set of ideas provided the best theoretical basis for Emperor Wu of Han, reciprocating favor with the princes, attacking the Huns, and the Han Dynasty, and entering its peak.

Regardless of whether it is better to respect Confucianism alone, in fact, in the past thousand years since the Han Dynasty, no matter the changes in dynasties, they continue the same framework and everyone repairs it.

Until the Song Dynasty, the three hundred years of country fell into the hands of the Yuan court, and the pride that once had shattered... Amid decades of pain and depression, a red color rose between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. A group of low-born peasants took up their weapons and began to restore the war to the old mountains and rivers.

In the north and south of the Yellow River, east and west of the Huai River, countless heroes were involved in this massive uprising, and some people shouted to reopen the sky of the Song Dynasty, aiming to restore the old mountains and rivers.

The Yuan court is doomed to perish. What will the new world look like?

How will the future emperor govern the country?

What is the relationship between the emperor, court officials, and people?

The country was destroyed by the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Yuan court collapsed... What should we learn from the painful lessons of hundreds of years?

How to govern the world?

This series of grand questions questioned the smart people of the world... Jia Lu, Zhu Sheng, and even countless scholars were thinking, but they had no answers that could convince everyone, so they were hesitant and entangled, had no confidence in the future, and could not forget the past that was once a minister of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

One foot has entered the new era, the other foot is still struggling in the quagmire of the old era.

There is more possibility that they faced the revolving door, and finally overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, but eventually turned back to the script of the Song Dynasty. They were still civil and military, and the party struggles continued, and reforms could not be implemented. The emperor became more and more foolish and incompetent. The barbarians on the border rose and eventually the country was destroyed... Relive the old dream and belonged to it!

What should I do?

After experiencing the painful lesson of the bones as white as mountains, thinkers in the late Ming Dynasty began to thoroughly reflect on what the real emperor should be like? Why did the Ming Dynasty perish?

After countless days and nights of painstaking thoughts, some people wrote the Mingyi Book of Interviews and proposed the Yuanjun... At the beginning of his life, people were selfish and each benefited; there was public benefit in the world but no one could promote it, and no one could eliminate it if there was public harm. Some people went out and did not use their own benefits as profits, but did not use their own harm to make the world profits; they did not use their own harm to make the world relieve the harm; this was the hard work of the person who must be thousands of people in the world...

In ancient times, people did things that were beneficial to everyone because of their selfishness, and no one did anything that was good for everyone, and no one dared to stand up... It was not until the ancient sage king was born, regardless of personal gains and losses, promoted profits and eliminated disadvantages, and governed the people with hundreds of times of hard work, and had three generations of governance.

The later rulers did not do so. I thought that the power of the world's interests and harms came from me, and I would like to give all the benefits of the world to myself and to give all the harms of the world to others. It would be impossible for the people in the world to dare not be selfish or to be selfish, and to use my great selfishness to be the great prince of the world.

The monarchs after three generations regarded the world as private property, occupied the benefits of the world, regarded the people of the world as their guest, and took the people of the world as their own masters. It is not enough to be an emperor alone, but they also had to pass on their children and grandchildren, peel off the bone marrow of the people of the world, and separate the children of the world. Is this the real way to be a king?

This is a lesson summarized by some remnants from their blood and tears after the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

What is the real way to be a king?

How should the world be governed?

Gu/span>In the great Ming Dynasty, perhaps no one could figure it out. In the three hundred years after the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to think about it.

Faced with this huge problem, Zhang Ximeng gave his own answer before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the future kings adhere to the destiny of heaven, destiny is the heart of man and the heart of man is the land.

The land in the world is not the private property of the emperor, but is taken from heaven and distributed to the people.

The core of the future world is fairness!

Let the plough have their own fields.

Keep everyone from hunger and cold.

Compared with the Datong of Liyun, Zhang Ximeng not only longed for a beautiful world, but also gave this world the most solid foundation!

All-field!

What Zhang Ximeng talked about today can be summed up in the golden rules of the next century, and can even be passed on for a longer time... As long as the Zhu family army can successfully win the world and this set of proposals can be implemented, a saint who has achieved far exceeding Zhu Zi will rise slowly.

This matter is really important.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a shocking moment.

No wonder the old gentlemen are like a spring breeze and drunk with fine wine.

Among the crowd, the one who reacted the most intensely was Gong Bosui. He thought about it over and over again, suddenly laughed, and then bowed deeply to Zhang Ximeng.

"I can die in the morning and the evening! I can hear the noble words of Mr. Lu, and I will have no regrets in this life! The Yuan and Song dynasties are all passing by, not worth mentioning. Following the decree of heaven and helping the people is what we scholars should do! However, Gong has no blessings, and he actually committed himself to the Yuan court, and was a great sin for an eagle and a dog for a person like Tuotuo, and committed a great mistake. Now, it is absolutely impossible to turn back!" Gong Bo then sighed with tears, "God is unfair!"

He paused his feet and beat his chest, full of grief and anger, and it was impossible to make a false act.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time and suddenly said, "Mr. Zhang, we want to pardon Gong Bosui and let him do things for us. What do you think?"

If it were normal, Lao Zhu might have ordered a pardon directly, but today he handed over the decision to Zhang Ximeng.

"Lord, Gong Bo repents, so he can naturally be regarded as one of the conditions for pardon, but it is not good to pardon a person's crimes. Even if he is in a prisoner of war camp, he is not unable to do things. Building bridges and paving roads, cleaning up debris, and even reviewing test papers, clearing the land of a hundred mills can make him meritorious and follow his words and actions. This is the right way!"

Old Zhu thought for a little while, and actually smiled, "It turns out that the right way is going straight... Gong Bosui, what do you think Mr. Zhang's argument is like?"

"The sinner is convinced! He is convinced!"

Gong Bo then stood up straight, and the depression in his heart disappeared. No matter what he did, he could finally say goodbye to the past.

He is completely reborn.

At this time, Yesen Timur was actually anxious. He was still confused about what Zhang Ximeng said. He only felt that the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had committed many crimes and had serious mistakes from the beginning, and he did not follow the decree of heaven at all. It was simply terrible. The question is what should they do? Is there any need to rescue him?

"Mr. Zhang, what should I do? Could it be that I am unforgivable? Is there no chance to reform myself?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Of course there is. First of all, you must truly reflect, agree with Juntian and Junfu's proposition, and put yourself in the same position as the people. Only in this way can you completely separate from the past and become a new person!"

Although he did not make a specific promise, Yesian Timur was already very satisfied, and even the other senior Mongolian officials breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, they also understood that this is called pattern!

No wonder the Zhu family army did not kill them after capturing them. They had lofty ambitions, which could not be understood by ordinary people!

From now on, we will be honest in the transformation and there will always be a chance.

This is a conference that satisfy everyone... After a while, Zhu Sheng and Jia Lu made an appointment. The two of them rode out of the city on donkeys, and with the outline of the Zhu family's division of land in their arms, they went to investigate the people's situation.

Zhang Ximeng said that he would not complete the land division just because of their discussion. On the contrary, the real hard work is still to come.

But these two old men were obviously confident and not afraid.

"We can't let young people underestimate you, Lao Ma should take the lead!" Jia Lu smiled.

Zhu Sheng frowned, "But we are riding a donkey!"

"Why? This little donkey runs no slower than a horse... If you don't believe it, look!" As Jia Lu said that, he grabbed the whip and thrust hard at Zhu Sheng's donkey's butt!
Chapter completed!
