Lu Ya looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled.
" The once oppressed wiped out the old forces. Naturally, they will start to create a new era and establish a brand new system.”
The most representative of this sentence was Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the meaning of these words. He fell into deep thought and did not interrupt. He just waited for Lu Ya to continue.
As expected, Lu Ya continued,"
" However, reality has proven countless times that their efforts will eventually deviate from their original direction, and their achievements will eventually be mercilessly buried by the cycle of history.”
" The new system and the new organization seem to have been infected by the same strange disease. Before long, everything will return to the same track. The corruption that was once hated by everyone will return like ghosts.”
" Then, it was the collapse and extinction. Another group of oppressed people rose up and followed the fate of prosperity and decline.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. He naturally understood what Lu Ya meant.
This was hinting to him that the Ming Dynasty would eventually reach such a stage and be overthrown by a new power to establish a new dynasty.
Lu Ya glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that he was listening attentively. He felt gratified and continued,"
" The law of the cycle of history is such an unbreakable law. Even if it does not have the power to predict the specific time, it has summarized the law of the movement of human civilization from a macro perspective.”
" This law is not difficult to understand with a little explanation, but it has always bound everything in the human world.”
" In the face of such a law, humans are different from other life forms in that they can look forward to the future through the past.”
Lu Ya took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued,"
"As a human, no matter which era you are in, what awaits you is the long and painful decline of the country you are in.”
" Not only that, this long and painful process will not be swayed by anyone's will, hard work, and determination.”
When Lu Ya said this, he stared into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and said,"
" Even if a great man tries his best to turn the tide, or even bury the old era and start a new one, so what?”
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Lu Ya said lightly,"
" Zhong Ba, you turned the tide and recovered the sixteen states of Youyun. You rebuilt China and the Han family. This is not inferior to the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Sect, and Song Ancestor.”
Zhu Yuanzhang revealed a strange expression. Being able to treat him and the four of them on the same level naturally meant that they recognized him.
Is the state preceptor's evaluation of me so high…Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged as he listened obediently.
Lu Ya continued,
" However, countless talented people in history have tried to break the law of cycles, but they have never been able to do so, even though they all wanted to break the curse of the law of cycles.”
Lu Ya sighed and shook his head.
" The cycle of history is as firm as a rock. It even surpasses the strength of humans and the strong will of all humans.”
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. He asked in a deep voice,"May I ask Imperial Preceptor, why is this historical cycle so indestructible? Could it really be that it could not be shaken?”
Lu Ya smiled and said,"
"To answer this question, we need to first understand the reason for this historical cycle rate.”
"Then what is the reason?" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked.
"In a word!" Lu Ya said lightly,"
" It's nothing more than the contradiction between self-interest and the interests of the whole in the process of human beings resisting the objective world and striving to survive.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, feeling that his brain was not working properly.
There was no other way. The state preceptor's words were too profound. Many brain cells had to die to keep up with his train of thought.
Lu Ya thought for a moment and changed his words to make Zhu Yuanzhang understand." If the people of a country are independent of the country and live independently, they will obviously not encounter the periodic law.”
" However, if that's the case, then the society of this country will cease to exist. The concept of humans will also become water without a source, and then completely disappear.”
Lu Ya stood up and walked to the edge of the Eight Trigrams Stage with his hands behind his back. He said slowly,
"To survive in the temperamental nature, we must form groups and cooperate with each other.”
" This is a prerequisite for the existence of Dynasty. When a portion of people realize this and form a country, the others who wander outside the country must join even if they do not want to live in the country. Otherwise, they will be eliminated by the country's powerful productivity. There is no choice.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent as he lowered his head and thought about the shocking words he had heard tonight.
He was a little confused by the Imperial Advisor's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand the powerful power of grasping the pulse of history in his words.
Lu Ya looked up at the sky. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
"In a country, the interests of the individual will always be in conflict with the interests of the group.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned slightly and said,"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Ya smiled and explained,"
" In a country, if an individual wants to gain benefits, apart from actively participating in group production activities and obtaining a share of the profits, there is another channel that is inherently evil but often a shortcut.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed as he asked in a deep voice,"
"Then may I ask Imperial Preceptor, what is this shortcut?”
Lu Ya pointed at the capital city below. The lights of thousands of houses were densely packed and beautiful. He said,
"Flattery and trickery. You don't make any contributions yourself, but you seize the benefits of others.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly. He somewhat understood Lu Ya's meaning. Weren't those landowners and corrupt people whom he hated the most such people?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said,
"Then let's kill all the corrupt officials in the world, as well as those big landowners who take things by force. Those who dare to bully the people, we'll kill them all.”
When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with killing intent.
"We can't kill them all." Lu Ya shook his head and smiled.
"When you were in power, you could kill him, but what about your successor? Where are your children and grandchildren? Can they be killed?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice,"
"Why not? As long as we set the rules, corrupt people will be executed, and the landlord who oppresses the people will have all their land confiscated. Would future generations dare to disobey our rules?”
Lu Ya did not refute Zhu Yuanzhang directly. Instead, he smiled and said,""Humans have consciousness and brains. Everything they think and do is for profit.”
"After weighing the pros and cons, people often want to pay less and obtain more benefits.”
" The greedier ones are those who don't want to pay anything and give up their hard work directly to exploit and plunder the fruits of other people's labor.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank.
The state preceptor's words had really torn apart human nature.
