Wu Zetian was shocked.
Even though removing Mencius from the Temple of Confucius would deprive him of his glory, he would still be able to do so.
However, he had smashed Jiang Ziya's statue in the Martial Temple.
This was even fiercer!
Zhu Yuanzhang directly exposed Jiang Ziya's hypocritical face and let him go down in infamy for thousands of years. He was a ruthless person.
"I can't help but be impressed. This is the first time I've heard of an emperor who dares to do such a thing.”
"After slaying the Wen Saint, I'm going to kill the Martial Saint!”
"Do you really want to be the only one in the world?”
.............
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a sip of wine and felt rather bitter. Look at what he had done. How refreshing! He did whatever he wanted. He was unyielding.
This was the empire that he had built, and he had the confidence to do so. No one could say anything.
............
"It wasn't easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to trample Jiang Ziya under his feet and use this to suppress the Confucian Sect's reputation.”
"How could he let go of such a good opportunity? If he doesn't impart his values and create trouble for the Confucian Sect, how can he beat a dog when it's down?”
"He directly conferred a new Martial Saint. That's Guan Yu, Guan Gong, Second Master Guan!”
"Zhu Yuanzhang praised Guan Yu's integrity and said that Guan Yu was always the same. Even when he was in Cao's camp, he never betrayed Liu Bei and valued friendship.”
"Only this kind of person can become the representative of the martial artists of Yan Huang and become the new generation of Martial Saints!”
"Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also praised Yue Fei and Zhao Yun and worshipped them at the front of the Martial Temple.”
"After this matter spread, Jiang Ziya's reputation was completely ruined among the people. From then on, no one worshipped Jiang Ziya anymore.”
"And the Confucian Sect actually packaged such a traitor as a Saint. Their reputation among the people is even more notorious.”
"The Confucian Sect was completely despised by the people. The constraints of the Cheng and Zhu school of thought were also broken. Scholars began to despise this corrupt Confucian Sect. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang began to promote his Ming Dynasty style!”
"And from now on, the Martial Saint of Yan Huang is Guan Yu, Second Master Guan!”
..............
Cao Cao slammed the table and stood up excitedly. He didn't expect Guan Yunzhang to be conferred the title of Martial Saint!
"That's right. Yun Changde must be a Martial Saint!”
"Zhu Yuanzhang did a pretty good job.”
...........
"Zhu Yuanzhang, deleting Mencius is like biting on words. Isn't this a cultural coercion?”
"Isn't there any negative impact?”
"Yes, everything has its pros and cons.”
"Zhu Yuanzhang deleted Mencius and played word games. Later generations developed it into a terrifying: Word Prison!"
"The Word Prison has indeed had a huge impact in the future.”
"But to distinguish between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, these are two different concepts.”
"The literary inquisition of the Ming Dynasty was mainly a struggle between the imperial power and the power of the officials. It was used to attack those who were on the same side, but this was all a court struggle. Those who were persecuted were those who fought for power in the court.”
"However, the literary inquisition of the Ming Dynasty did not spread on a large scale. It had no effect on the ordinary people and the scholars who did not participate in the court's struggle.”
"However, the policies are different when it comes to the Qing Dynasty. The ruling class of the Qing Dynasty uses the literary inquisition to restrict and imprison people's thoughts and make them ignorant.”
"The Taqing's literary inquisition is indiscriminate, a large-scale persecution of everyone's thoughts.”
"Therefore, not only was the Ming Dynasty not a cultural desert, but the culture of the Ming Dynasty was extremely prosperous!”
"The art of vernacular novels reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. Three of the four great masterpieces were from the Ming Dynasty.”
"The real cultural desert is the Qing Dynasty.”
"Because when Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the Confucian Sect, he also created another major national policy. This was used in conjunction with it, but the Da Qing didn't implement it!”
"And this national policy not only promoted the flourishing of culture, but it was also his third strike against the Confucian Sect!”
"This saber move is even more ruthless than the previous two, and it is this saber move that has completely destroyed the Confucian Sect!”
.........
This national policy could be supported?
Li Shi Min and the others were stunned.
This Zhu Yuanzhang was really full of tricks!
He was too playful.
He could actually attack the Confucian Sect? This was a death trap!
However, what was this third slash?
.......
It was compulsory!
From the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that apart from the quality of the rulers themselves, the entire society's lack of education was also a reason. due to
Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he took measures to build schools, select academic officials, and insisted on taking education work as the most important measure of the achievements of local officials.
He wanted an indicator.
In June of the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), Ma Liang, the magistrate of Zhaori County, Lu Province, completed his examination and entered the capital to meet the emperor. The state gave him a comment.
It is "not the achievements of farming and education, but good at supervising transportation". In response to this appraisal, Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions were: Farming is the foundation of food and clothing.
This county magistrate did not do his duty but was good at supervising transportation. Was this his duty? In the end, that County Magistrate Ma didn't
But instead of being promoted, he was demoted.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a higher standard when it came to scholars. In addition to paying attention to the national economy and the people's livelihood, he also had the quality of participating in politics. Once, Zhu
Yuanzhang summoned Confucian ministers to talk about the way of governing the country. Everyone spoke freely, only Li Sidi and Ma Yi were silent. Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely low
Happy, demote them. Then, in the "announcement" sent to the directorate, he said, As a teacher, you should set an example and do your best.
"All that is in your heart, all that is in the world, do not hide it and teach it…" Li Sidi and Ma Yi were born in the wilderness and could discuss state affairs with the emperor.
They were so modest in asking for advice, yet they were not even willing to say a word. If they were even so to the emperor, how could they be expected to do their best to teach their students?
What?
......
A system that had been used for hundreds of years and had not been abolished showed that this system was forward-looking, and the person who created this system had to have an epoch-making vision.
Especially the emperors.
They couldn't imagine how much money was needed to pay for such an education system.
Even the aristocratic families did not have such great strength in nurturing the disciples of the same clan! That also depended on how close they were.
