Chapter 280 The emperor’s position is the world and the descendants of Yan and Huang "But if you stand from the standpoint of a scholar-official..."
"The Emperor Hongwu doesn't care about old friendships, and he doesn't allow himself to be greedy in his work as a dragon. He will be peeled off day lilies every time he has a thought."
"He is unkind, ruthless, and the most unjust tyrant in the world."
"The biggest threat to the gentry in the world!"
Hear this.
Everyone moved in unison, nodding heavily, fully agreeing with Lin Che's point of view, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
"Another example is Meng Yuan..."
Lin Che leaned on the chair and said calmly:
"I stand from the standpoint of the common people. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty massacred, enslaved the Han people, raced for land, brutally exploited them, and gave the Han people's thousands of years of heritage to foreign countries. These are all facts and there is no doubt about it."
"As descendants of Yan and Huang, it is normal for us to hate Meng Yuan."
"But if you stand from the standpoint of the Jiangnan landowners and gentry, you will definitely miss the Meng Yuan who was a bird in a cage, superior to others, killed without repaying his life, paid less taxes, and enjoyed unique treatment."
"To put it bluntly, what does Mudleg's life and death have to do with you?"
"You still want to go back to the era when people were masters, and hope that Meng Yuan will remain standing for eternity."
"If Emperor Hongwu doesn't let you go back, you will start to hate him so much. If you hate him too much, you will curse the emperor. If you can't, you will become a traitor by collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."
"right?"
Seeing the kings gnashing their teeth and looking angrily, Lin Che spread her hands and said casually: "Actually, strictly speaking...these two statements are not inherently wrong, they just have different stances."
“That’s why stance is particularly important.”
"Ordinary people's stance can only determine themselves, but the emperor's stance determines the country."
Looking at the frowning Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Lin Che said again:
"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. The literati's stance is very flexible. These people will not talk to you about the common people, let alone make horizontal comparisons..."
"They will only talk to you about how cruel Emperor Hongwu was to the literati. You are the true sage, and you don't dare to be as oppressive as before."
"They won't talk to you about the people under Emperor Hongwu's rule, nor will they tell you the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. They won't tell you about those good things."
"He just pointed at the stones in the pit and talked about things. He even said from the standpoint of the Tatars that Prince Yue and Wen Tianxiang deserved it for not knowing the current affairs!"
Seeing that Zhu Biao was agitated and began to lose control, Lin Che sighed softly: "I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can understand that these techniques and words are common tactics used by this group of people..."
"At this point, anyone who tells you that right and wrong are more important than one's position, and those who tell you that they are particularly objective, you can directly judge that person to be stupid and bad!"
"Because the other party is clearly concealing its position and treats you as a fool 1"
"Concealing your position and pretending to be objective can fool many people. Don't think that just because you are the emperor, you are smarter than anyone else."
"I also hope that you can always remember that your position is the world, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Ming Dynasty with its magnificent etiquette and beauty..."
Lin Che's gaze was intense and determined: "It is the Chinese state that has all this."
"Understandable?"
A shocking remark fell to the ground.
Not only were the princes here full of respect and sincere admiration, but even Zhu Yuanzhang next door was shocked beyond measure.
"The emperor's position...the Ming Dynasty...the country of China..."
"Transparent!"
"It's so transparent!"
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists unconsciously, feeling that his blood was ignited, and he completely understood Lin Che's good intentions.
The reason why the emperor was always deceived by the scholar-bureaucrats was precisely because his own beliefs were not firm enough, or he did not have this concept at all.
This is especially obvious for Lord Shoucheng, who has neither experienced the sufferings of the world, but has also been poisoned by Confucianism since childhood.
Over time, my butt became crooked.
However, no matter through the dynasties or dynasties, the emperor’s position has always been only: the country and the nation.
But if the emperor deviates from his own position and starts to look at right and wrong from the standpoint of scholar-bureaucrats, he is destined to fall into the cycle of is no doubt about it.
Think about this.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and sighed to himself: "Mr. Lin is righteous."
"Let the boss clarify his position first, and then strengthen it..."
"In this way, I will ensure that the boss's butt will not be crooked, and he will not be fooled by the scholar-bureaucrats!"
"As long as the belief is strong enough, a beggar can become an emperor and cannot be shaken by doubts from the outside world."
"As expected of Mr. Lin... he always considers everything."
"We never describe false prosperity, but go straight to the essence of the problem and find ways to solve it fundamentally."
"We are convinced!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the astonished Xu Da, squeezed the old man's shoulder hard, and could not conceal his inner excitement: "What do Tiande think?"
"Have you gained anything?"
"It's up to us, all the good things happen because of you!"
Hear this.
Xu Da's face twitched, he grinned awkwardly, and said with a dry smile:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty..."
"Sir, panic!"
"Mr. Lin's talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. He made me suddenly enlightened and my mind became much clearer."
"With such an astonishing talent, sir, I can assist His Majesty and the Crown Prince..."
"It is truly a blessing to the Ming Dynasty and a blessing to the people."
"Sigh in surrender!"
Xu Da's flattery was just right, making Zhu Yuanzhang feel refreshed and elated.
His eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he raised his big hand and patted the other party's shoulder twice.
"now it's right.
"Let me tell you, if your eldest girl follows Mr. Lin, she will just wait and enjoy happiness for the rest of her life."
"Can't be wrong."
"So you don't have to worry about it. We'll send people to guard this house later, so you don't always want to run here..."
"Men should get married when they are older, and women should get married when they are older. It is a matter of course!"
Xu Da: "???"
……
Facing the high-spirited princes, Lin Che's eyes showed a hint of relief, and she raised her hand to signal them to go back and take their seats.
I have to admit that the quality of the puppies born to Queen Ma is quite high.
Prince Zhu Biao and King Zhu Di of Yan need not be mentioned.
The King of Qin, Zhu Feng, was resolute, heroic and extremely strong. If he hadn't been crippled by the cruel pressure of Lao Zhu, he might not have become cruel and unkind.
King Zhu Fan of Jin Dynasty was good at planning and making decisions, and he was brave and proud. If Lao Zhu hadn't neglected to train his mind, he might not have become so moody and ferocious.
If a few brothers can overcome the stalemate and work together to fight against the same enemy, it is really possible for Ming Dynasty to embark on an extraordinary path.
As for the fifth child, Zhu Xi, it was indeed a bit of a joke. After all, he was not Empress Ma's biological child. The care and treatment he had enjoyed since childhood were very different. He had been submissive and preferred medical skills, so it was natural that he would not like Lao Zhu.
Think of this.
Lin Che couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
