Lu Ya looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said faintly,
" Throughout the history of mankind, in the thousands of years of civilization, mankind has never found a perfect solution to completely eradicate such a phenomenon.”
Lu Ya laughed mockingly and said,"
" On the contrary, the so-called counter-measures are so powerless and feeble. Usually, at the beginning of a dynasty, a ridiculous system is established in which some people do not engage in production but plunder others by relying on the system, violence, and even lies.”
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Indeed, wasn't he the one who established the Ming Dynasty and gave preferential treatment to the generals and gentry?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang could not refute Lu Ya's words.
Lu Ya ignored him and continued,"
" Whether it is from the beginning to the end or halfway through, groups, the components of human society, will sooner or later be filled with exploitation and plunder.”
At this point, Lu Ya's tone gradually became stern."
" Some of them used all sorts of methods to amass astonishing wealth. Then, they relied on this astonishing wealth to consolidate their positions and become even more aggressive. Driven by greed and fear, they did all the evil things of exploitation and plunder.”
" This…" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Although the state preceptor's words were very explicit, it was indeed the law of the development of human society.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer, had been able to achieve the status of a god. How many things and people had he encountered during this period?
His experience from a farmer to an emperor had given Zhu Yuanzhang a deeper understanding of the evils of human nature.
It was also because of this that he was amazed by the Imperial Advisor's accurate and comprehensive summary of human nature.
Lu Ya walked to the side of the table, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. He continued,
" Greed is easy to understand. If these people were not bewitched by it, they would not have committed such a crime in the first place.”
" As for fear, it comes from the original sin of getting wealth from an improper source. Those who have gained benefits are well aware of how they obtained their status, wealth, and power.”
" Even if they use their teachings, such as Confucian ethics, and various methods to deceive the people, they are still extremely worried that the people will wake up one day and send themselves to the gallows, guillotine, and so on…"
"This fear is like maggots in their bones, and it will accompany these people for the rest of their lives. They also want to get rid of this fear, but how can they solve it? Was he going to spend all his wealth and end this system? Is that possible?"
Lu Ya smiled faintly.
'What do you mean by' meat eaters'? If these fellows actually had such a high vision and awareness, why would they have evil thoughts in their hearts at the beginning and then embark on the path of no return of oppressing and plundering others?”
Lu Ya walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and helped him up. He said slowly,"Eighth level, it's harder to get involved with benefits than to get involved with the soul. Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot was ultimately just a fantasy.”
"Just now, you said that you wanted to set rules so that future generations would follow your rules and kill all the corrupt officials in the world. This is ultimately an illusion and impossible to achieve.”
Lu Ya turned around and glanced at the lights below. He smiled and said,""The only lesson we have learned from history is that we have learned nothing from history.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind rumbled, as if he had been touched by something.
" The only lesson I've learned from history is that I haven't learned anything from history..." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered. An indescribable fear surged into his heart.
"State Preceptor, are you saying that my Great Ming will eventually perish?”Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly.
Lu Ya didn't answer. Instead, he returned to the original point of the question and said,""This is the question I wanted to ask you just now.”
"Do you want to revive China and build a country that far surpasses the Han and Tang Dynasties, or do you want to build China that belongs to the Zhu family's private property? Before I leave the mountain, I want you to answer this question.”
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Lu Ya drank a cup of wine and smiled."
"Chongba, think according to your heart. No matter which one you choose, I will help you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and asked,"
"State Preceptor, if you choose the latter, will China never be able to recover? Even with the Imperial Advisor's power, he couldn't reverse it?”
Lu Ya laughed and shook his head.
"If you choose the latter, I will naturally do my best to help your Zhu family and enjoy three to four hundred years of supreme wealth. However, in the end, it will still be a country that will perish.”
" State Preceptor, State Preceptor…" Zhu Yuanzhang walked in front of Lu Ya and bowed deeply.
"State Preceptor, I beg you, please think of a way to satisfy both sides. We have worked so hard to build such a large country, and I really can't bear to see it fall. I want to revive China and recreate the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but I don't want this country to fall into the hands of others.”
When he conquered the world, he naturally hoped that the world would be named Zhu. He did not want it to fall into the hands of others. This was also his limitation.
Lu Ya looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and pondered.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to disturb him. He just looked at Lu Ya nervously, hoping that he could think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Before long, Lu Ya suddenly sighed and said,"
"There is another way, a compromise.”
"Ah, what is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said anxiously.
"Eight words!" Lu Ya stretched out four fingers and said,"
"The government belongs to the Ning family, and the sacrifice belongs to me!"
The original sentence came from Zuo Zhuan, which was said by Duke Xian of Wei.
The reason why Wei Xian Gong said this was because he had been chased out of the State of Wei.
In order to return to China, he said the above sentence to Ning Huizi, who was in charge of the government at that time.
What he meant was that as long as he could return and continue to be the monarch, he would hand over all the political affairs to him.
I only need to be in charge of the sacrifice.
This was actually another way of saying that the monarch was a constitutionalist, but Lu Ya changed it to a way that Zhu Yuanzhang could understand.
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent and said,"
"This, isn't this letting the Prime Minister control the government and we don't care about anything? How can this be?"
Lu Ya laughed and said,
"Of course not. I haven't finished speaking yet.”
Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief. If he hadn't known Lu Ya for twenty years and knew his remarkable abilities, he would have been furious with that sentence.
He had been trying every means to weaken the Prime Minister's power. How could he be willing to hand over the government to the Prime Minister and not care about anything?
Lu Ya knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, so he continued,""Chongba, before you submit to the Ning family, you have to do one more thing.”
"What is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Abolish the Prime Minister system!" Lu Ya said indifferently.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened. He was both happy and confused.
What did the state preceptor mean?
Since he wanted him to return to the Ning family and also wanted to abolish the Prime Minister, without the Prime Minister, how could he do that?
