Chapter 1104 King and Tyrant
Bitter!
It's hard to swallow!
In the eyes of the ministers, this delicious breakfast was like a poison, and I felt stomachache when I looked at it, let alone eating it.
They didn't understand what was going on.
Why did you get involved in this?
In their opinion, Guo Dan's theory is actually to emphasize domineering and pursue powerful rule.
However, there have been countless debates about the dispute between kings and dominance in history. Although there has not been a conclusion yet, few people have emphasized dominance alone, at most, they are mixed with kings and dominance.
Moreover, this kingly and domineering is based on the chaos. In the peaceful and prosperous times, everyone talks about kingly ways, not overbearing things.
If you, Guo Dan, talk about domineering and if you can speak our way, then we will die.
But I never thought that after a long time of wandering around, Guo Dan was not talking about domineering, but actually speaking about the kingly way, and he wanted to use the kingly way to fight against domineering.
Guo Dan mainly talked about two views. First, the kingly way is inseparable from cannons.
Secondly, the Ming Dynasty's cannon represents the kingly way, and its function is to fight against domineering power.
How well this is said!
Moreover, the kingly way Guo Dan said was higher than their realm.
This made them a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to refute it.
They cannot deny that this kingly way can be separated from cannons, and they cannot say that the cannons of the Ming Dynasty are domineering, not kingly way.
Since he is domineering, why did the imperial court still buy cannons?
To sum up, this failure is that they misunderstood, and they don’t understand what Guo Dan is talking about.
Therefore, after Zhang Heming and his friends ate breakfast, they were not feeling well and went back to rest.
When they returned to the house, the first thing they did was to find out the article. They suspected that what Guo Dan said was inconsistent with the views in the article. The purpose of this article was to lure them into the bait.
This is actually their only chance to turn defeat into victory.
But after watching it, they were speechless.
Before I listened to Guo Dan's words, I read them all, and they were obviously domineering, but after listening to Guo Dan's words and reading them again, they were actually the kingly way.
The key lies in the examples quoted in the article, which is about this time the resistance to Japanese and aid to Korea.
This is definitely a just move!
This is a coincidence with what Guo Dan said just now!
I can only say that Chinese culture is profound and profound.
The answers drawn by an article from different angles can be completely different!
And this is exactly what they are best at, and this is their routine.
Isn’t the Eight-Legend Essay talking about the Four Books and Five Classics? But the Four Books and Five Classics only have a lot of content. After so many years of examination, I can only analyze it from different angles.
It’s really a geese that are so snatching their eyes!
However, they were still too superficial and they did not understand why Guo Dan said this.
However, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Xu Guo and others were already very clear about what Guo Dan’s purpose was, so Shen Shixing would directly admit defeat.
After breakfast, the ministers accompanied the fat man to the Chuwan Field to practice, but the fat man was unwilling to follow the old men and the old men. He and the imperial concubine were fighting each other and didn't like to pay attention to them.
Definitely true love.
Originally, Wanli wanted to call Guo Dan over, but after all, the young man had to be with the young man, but Guo Dan was surrounded by several cabinet sects as soon as the scene took place.
Guo Dan was not afraid, after all, these old men could not beat him even if they came together.
As long as you ensure that you have superior force, you will not be afraid of anyone coming.
Bang!
Guo Dan looked at the ball that was going away and smiled at Wang Xijue: "I didn't expect that the adults' football skills are so superb, and I am no longer an adult's opponent."
Wang Xijue took back the club and walked forward and laughed: "Do you allow us to speak silently in Confucianism, and we are not allowed to defeat you on the field you transformed into? "
Guo Dan said, "My lord has been awarded. How can I do this? In fact, we just talked about artillery. Regarding artillery, I naturally have to know a little bit more than you guys. There is no way to win or lose. It's just that I have specialized in art."
Shen Shixing sighed and said with emotion: "You are right. Just now, you are just cannons, but you are really eloquent and can package the cannons into a delicious pastry. I am really convinced!"
Xu Guo hehe: "After all, you are eager to expand outward so that your business can be further improved, and at the same time, you can have the protection of the country."
"I know I can't hide it from you all."
Guo Dan shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's true that you should say this, but why don't you say it? It's because you are content with the status quo, but Your Majesty is eager to work hard to govern and achieve the reputation of the emperor for the ages. Your Majesty cannot give up your heroic career just because of accommodating you."
Wang Xijue said: "But have you ever thought that if we interfere with the surrounding government affairs in full, it will make our Ming Dynasty deeply trapped in a quagmire and cannot extricate ourselves, and it is very likely to backfire ourselves."
Guo Dan said: "That was the past, not the present. Now our Ming Dynasty has enough power to include all surrounding countries in its own protection. Look at our troops from North Korea, and the emperor and ministers here are playing with squeezing the pill. Is this what we can do before?"
Wang Xijue frowned slightly.
It was indeed impossible to do it before.
Guo Dan continued: "Just on the matter, this is actually protecting ourselves. When resisting foreign invasions, there is still a buffer zone around, and there is enough time for us to prepare. Everything has its pros and cons!"
Shen Shixing said: "But have you ever thought that this may also cause all the surrounding regimes to be on guard against me, and no regime wants others to make decisions for themselves."
Guo Dan nodded and said, "The Chief Supervisor's concerns are absolutely possible, it depends on whether we can have a good time."
Wang Xijue said: "I hope to hear the details."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "In terms of human nature, no one wants others to be stronger than themselves, and the country is composed of people, and so is the country. And this is precisely the greatest advantage of our Ming Dynasty, because our Ming Dynasty has been strong for more than a hundred years, and they have all accepted this reality.
From this, they infer that what they don’t want to see is the strength of others, not us.”
Wang Xijue frowned, as if he understood something.
Guo Dan continued: "Take the Jurchens as an example, the Jianzhou Jurchens are ambitious and want to unify the entire Jurchen tribe. This is definitely something I don't want to see in the Ming Dynasty, but the Haixi Jurchens are even less than us, because they will be the first victims and they will inevitably object.
Although Ning Yuanbo was having a good time in the Liaodong area, it was just a very low-level method and could not be used as a prestigious person because he did not stand on the moral high ground, and he was just a clever person.
I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot play like this. If the two armies are fighting, we can ignore it. But as long as the Jianzhou Jurchens hurt the people of Haixi Jurchens, we can use this as an excuse to interfere in the war between them, and the Jianzhou Jurchens will definitely hurt the innocent people.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that we have to intervene, but at least it gives us an excuse, which is just a metaphor.
I just want to make it clear that as long as there is a powerful force around us, we will always be able to stand on the side of the weak against the strong. For those barbaric and uneducated tribes, we naturally have the obligation to bring them benevolent politics and a better life."
Shen Shixing asked, "But this will also cause us endless trouble."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Didn't the Prime Minister feel bored for a long time? Now that I have something to do, the Prime Minister feels tired again."
You guy! Shen Shixing laughed twice.
Guo Dan said: "In broad terms, we are full of talents in the Ming Dynasty. If there is nothing wrong in the world, what should these talents do? How can they use their talents? From the perspective of business, even if these people have signed employment contracts with the country, they will not let them work and have to support them. Then why not let them work?
They can also create profits when they work, which is a dead profit for me in the Ming Dynasty! In the past, the officials of the Honglu Temple were just eating and drinking all day long. Now your cabinet can build the Honglu Temple into a power department, which is specifically responsible for the affairs of the surrounding areas. Or, the scholars in the world want to be officials just to be able to eat and drink, and they can be admired by thousands of people. But then again, who doesn’t want to?"
Wang Xijue snorted: "You are not sarcastic here, you don't want to!"
Why did it come to this again? Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "I actually think very much, but my father is not sure. Do you think that with my talent, I need to be a son-in-law?
I just don’t want to work hard, so I wanted to find a rich wife to support me. But I didn’t know that my wife was going to be better. She actually confused me with beauty and made me work hard for her. It’s really God’s will to make people. Hello, hey... Dear sirs, I haven’t finished talking yet! Can you give me some face?...Damn!"
Shen Shixing, who had already walked forward, glanced back slightly, and saw that Guo Dan did not follow, then asked Wang Xijue and Xu Guo: "What do you think?"
Xu Guo said: "Although what he said makes sense, we may not be able to do well. The Ming Dynasty has not yet been managed well, so how can we have the spare time to help others manage it well."
Shen Shixing nodded and looked at Wang Xijue again.
Wang Xijue pondered for a while before saying, "Maybe good intentions will be rewarded. If we are busy helping others, our illness will be cured. A lot of problems before were just idle? Besides, he said one thing very correctly. If there is nothing wrong in the world, why do the court recruits so many Jinshi for?"
Shen Shixing sighed: "Actually, Your Majesty has set the tone just now. If we can't come up with enough reasons to refute Guo Dan, even if we don't want to, we can't change anything."
Wang Xijue said: "But this can also help us control merchants well because they need national protection."
When Shen Shixing, Xu Guo nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, they all already know that the core idea of Guo Dan's article is to expand externally, but to use Confucianism to expand externally, and then put under the cannon collector Confucianism under the butt.
The purpose is to protect business.
Don’t say that now, Yinuo Grain Bank imports so much grain from surrounding areas every year, and the transaction of millions of taels must require national protection!
But before that, the country had no reason to protect him, it was all fat people who were protecting him.
But this is not a long-term solution, so Guo Dan must give the country a legitimate reason to protect him and protect the merchants outside the Ming Dynasty.
He wants to define all these actions as national policy.
What Wanli said just now has set the tone for the future of the Ming Dynasty, which is to pursue a great power with world influence.
