Many theories of a harmonious world are restricted by spirit and public opinion.

In the narratives of various schools of thought, the Holy Lord and Holy King described in the prosperous times became a mirror, placed next to the monarch, and became an invisible theoretical restriction.

This kind of theoretical restriction, as well as the six subjects' clarification and refutation of the matter, and the institutional restriction, are all very necessary.

But this self-regulation is gradually failing.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "But the current situation is that many people avoid reality and talk about great unity, instead of practicing the method of great unity. They hold high the great unity, but bark for the selfish interests of one family. There is no virtue at all."

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

Su Ping and Su Zheng actually sold the news of Ye Buhuang's rescue, who worked for the Ming Dynasty through life and death, to the spies in Wala for only three hundred taels of silver.

Su Ping and Su Zheng were both Confucian scholars. They were also holding up the dragon flag of the world of great harmony, criticizing the emperor verbally and writing, saying that the emperor was militaristic.

Do they really care about the people? No, but they are just doing it for fame and profit.

Something went wrong in Ming Dynasty.

When Hu Hui said this, his expression was sad, and he said helplessly: "There are no saints in the world. Your Majesty upholds the official weapon, and all ministers are like nine orifices, each performing their duties. History can be used as a mirror to know the rise and fall, so the advice is Inevitable."

"This kind of persuasion is often ineffective. For example, King Jili ignored the collective opposition of the British Duke Zhang Fu, the Minister of War Kuang Ye and other civil servants and generals, and insisted on conquering the country himself."

"well."

Everyone present sighed.

The Tumu Fort Incident was a deep scar on the Ming Dynasty. Even if it healed, the historical lessons it brought had a far-reaching impact.

Hu Xi said helplessly: "The monarch is above all things. Scholars and officials are often unsure of their opinions when giving advice, so they will send it to the Ministry of Rites for checking first. This is also one of the rules."

"The Fengyang Poetry Society broke the rules and the DPRK banned talks about relocation to the south and peace talks. They waggled their lips and tongues to create wind, and they deserved to be beheaded by His Majesty."

Su Ping and Su were sent to the Jiecuyuan just because they sold the information to the spies in Wala.

Zhu Qiyu nodded very solemnly and said: "I give advice and accept advice. The good deeds of my saints and virtuous ministers have now become a tool for the party struggle between the DPRK and China. I am very sad."

Hu Hu agreed very much and said: "Your Majesty, when Shang Yang met Qin Xiaogong, Qin Xiaogong was not willing to adopt Shang Yang's method. Regarding the matter of changing the law, Qianlong, Du Zhi, Gongzi Qian and Shang Yang each had their own opinions. A few days later, , Qin Xiaogong felt that Shang Yang’s method was more appropriate."

"King Hui of Liang and King Xuan of Qi did not like Mencius' theory of benevolent government, but they still took the trouble to ask Mencius for advice on how to govern the country."

"Regarding admonishment and accepting remonstrance, no matter which family or sect promotes it, giving in remonstrance and accepting remonstrance have become recognized as the highest virtues, and are used as a measure of the virtuous master and loyal ministers."

"Your Majesty, Confucianism has reached a dead end."

Confucian classics can no longer solve the problem.

Yu Qian, Hu Hui, Qiu Jun, Xiang Wang, Li Binyan, Xu Youzhen, etc. all went to hundreds of other scholars to find a solution.

Yu Qian often quoted Laozi's teachings, talking about the external king and the internal sage, talking about cultivating people within a hundred years, and talking about the system of the country.

Hu Hui admitted that he was immoral and directly said that Confucianism had entered a dead end. If it did not change, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed by corruption.

Qiu Jun advocated that benevolence and righteousness are based on profit, King Xiang advocated the theory of the importance of profit, and Li Binyan had the universe in mind, looked up at the stars, observed the way of nature, and summarized the six orders and the order of the four seasons.

Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi were more like Mohists than Confucians. They did not care that their cars were damaged by poor coolies.

Two foot-picking big men trudged across water in order to care about living beings. They did not pay attention to politeness and etiquette, but only focused on work efficiency.

As Zhu Qiyu said, there was a problem with the Confucian etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. Along with the great pain of the Tumubao Incident, there must be great speculation of the Ming Dynasty.

The great speculation of the Central Plains Dynasty is roughly the same as the Renaissance in the West.

It's just that the Central Plains Dynasty had so many great contemplations that it has become a common occurrence.
