Chapter 754 Undercurrent
As the festival approaches, every household in Dingzhou City has lanterns and decorations, temple fairs and markets are constantly open, and even the government has opened curfews. At night, lanterns can be seen by the moat, and there are crowds everywhere who come out to enjoy the night.
At this time, a large ship was also sailing slowly on the river outside the city. There were two people sitting on the deck, which were Wu Ming and Wu Zhi traveling in a very intimate manner.
"After seeing this scene, I have some of the weather in the world..."
Wu Zhi wore a blue shirt and dressed as a Confucian scholar. Her years of military career did not add to her frost. Instead, due to her great progress in martial arts, her skin was like ice jade, and her image as a young master was brighter with Wu Ming beside her.
"This is because you have good governance. The second is that you are near the capital. If you are still hungry for thousands of miles, where can you live in other places?"
Wu Ming smiled slightly.
The wealth and political aggregation effect of the capital is naturally extraordinary. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor. No matter which dynasty, the living standards of the people are outstanding, but if it can represent the general level of a country, it is like a joke.
The night breeze is blowing.
Wu Zhi and Wu Ming, who had been free for half a day of leisure, enjoyed the scenes on both sides, and sometimes cooked wine and drank, which was quite enjoyable.
Occasionally, other flower boats are full of brocades, with silk and bamboo orchestras on them, and the sound of orioles and swallows are constantly coming, but before they get close, they are dispersed by nearby frigates.
Even though they travel in a condom and possess unique skills, Wu Ming and Wu Zhi did not like the white dragon fish suit. They didn't know how many guards they secretly accompanied them.
Although you may not be able to deal with any big enemies, you are more than enough to deal with these small troubles.
"Ding'er is at the age of entering school. Can your husband have a suitable choice for a teacher?"
Wu Zhi looked at the rolling river water and suddenly asked.
"Ding'er is talented and smart. No matter what he learns, he will be quick. There is no need to worry about knowledge and governance. The only thing that can be considered is character. If you choose a teacher, you have to think carefully..."
To be honest, an emperor actually doesn’t have to have any requirements for his or her literary talent and martial arts, otherwise what should he do with the following group of civil officials and military generals? What he really needs to learn is the emperor’s mind skills, and the method of selecting and employing people is enough.
The most important thing is to be able to deal with the ministers and not be deceived. As long as you do this and add a little bit of literati praise, the title of famous kings for all ages will be perfect.
"Recently, Huang Zong, a great scholar from the north, came to Dingzhou City to give lectures. Several Confucian scholars have recommended this person to me. What do you think of your husband?"
Wu Zhi looked like a smile on her face.
"Pure Confucianism?"
Wu Ming frowned slightly.
"My husband seems to be biased against Confucianism?"
Wu Zhi asked curiously.
"No!"
Wu Ming shook his head and said, "In the chaos, in the chaos, what is needed is the martial arts and military corpses... Of course, now the 19 states of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be unified by Eye. Ding'er only needs to be a successful ruler, and it is also quite beneficial to learn some Confucianism and Law and Taoism's inaction techniques. However, in less than three generations, Confucianism cannot be the main focus..."
The scholar rebelled but failed for three years.
To be honest, don’t those founding kings know the harm of the dominance of scholars?
No!
But it won’t work if you don’t!
Even if scholars control the world and suppress military generals, so what? Without military power, who can rebel?
After the founding of the country, military strategists will inevitably decline, and Confucianism will rise.
Although even though they knew the consequences of doing so, they would inevitably be weak in the late stage of the empire, and they would not have the power to fight back if they suppressed internally or resisted externally, so what?
How great is the world? How can there be an immortal empire?
If you value martial arts and suppress literature, even if you can dominate the world and conquer the world, you will always suffer the disaster of overthrow. However, if you elevate civil officials and hold on to the incompleteness, you can at least have a century of national fortune.
If the emperor is very private, how would he choose? Do you still have to consider it?
In reality, the Confucian system of monarch, minister and minister is indeed quite beneficial to rule. It is a system that saves the most administrative resources. On the surface, it at least claims that the monarch wants the minister to die, but the minister has to die.
As for those generals with heavy troops, if you want to kill him, will the other party resist?
After comparing the two, naturally everyone knows the choice.
However, when the founding of the country was just now, it was a little different. Taizu of the founding country would inevitably raise military affairs, and he would have heavy troops and military achievements.
The second generation continues the past and opens up the future, and they still need to cut off domestic vassal states and hills one by one. It is not enough to be purely aware of literature and affairs. However, after the third generation, the rule will be consolidated and Confucianism can govern the world. In this way, peace in the world may be praised by a prosperous era.
Although the price is that it will enter the cycle of the end of the dynasty after hundreds of years, isn’t it a big profit to enjoy the whole world with a family for hundreds of years?
"Who is that? No?"
Wu Zhi blinked her eyes and knew that her husband had the danger of mountains and rivers, which was unfathomable.
In fact, he thought of the examination methods, military engineering methods, etc., but after experimenting one by one, he found that the effect was as good as a god.
Just from the perspective of improving printing techniques, publishing a large number of books, and increasing the class of scholars, this husband's attitude towards Confucianism is very complicated.
"Pure Confucianism cannot do it, and pure martial arts cannot do it. It is better to have both literary and military affairs, and you should be equally important to both civil and military affairs!"
Wu Ming sighed quietly, and at this time he could understand the helplessness of those founding emperors.
Don’t they know the harm of being a purely Confucian minister?
If you just don’t fear speculating on your descendants with the worst malicious intentions, it is better to let civil officials bully you to death than to let the generals bully you to death.
Even if a powerful minister appears, at most he will kill the monarch secretly and then another clan member will continue to be the emperor. But if the generals are asked to look up, it will be a major event of clan extermination.
Of course, in this world, it is a little different.
The existence of extraordinary powers such as celestial immortals is a check and balance for any dynasty.
Not to mention anything else, as long as Wu Ming is still there, even if the dynasty of his descendants encounters a disaster of overthrow, it can still be done to preserve the bloodline and keep the sacrifices endlessly.
Outsiders think he wants to become a protector of the new dynasty, but for Wu Ming, even the dragon energy of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is what?
If you really want to do this, it would be better to have him raise an army, become a king and an emperor from the beginning, establish an immortal dynasty on earth, and collect all your luck. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?
If you are still a celestial immortal and become a national protector or something, you may have some benefits, but now you are a golden immortal who lives with the world. Doing so will do more harm than good.
At least, after three generations, Wu Ming was too lazy to care about what his descendants would have.
He didn't have enough time to pursue the eternal path, so how could he have the heart to worry about this?
"Equally important to both civil and military affairs? Good!"
Wu Zhi was happy and had a head of his head, obviously he had the same idea as he beat him: "How about the Confucian master using Huang Zong?"
"Although this person is a great scholar, he still has to meet him before talking about it..."
Wu Ming also felt something was a little tricky about this great scholar from the northern region who suddenly ran to Dingzhou.
Maybe behind this person is the will of certain forces, and it is not good for anyone to act rashly.
"It depends on my husband!"
Wu pheasant smiled sweetly.
"After the spring begins, the town will be very moved, right?"
Wu Ming held the wine cup, but suddenly asked.
"Of course!"
Wu Zhi raised his sword eyebrows, and his original daughter's posture disappeared without a trace, with an iron-blooded evil spirit added.
"In the five years of birth, rest and recuperate, harvest several times of crops, Chen Gu full of warehouses, plus the newly formed Lingzhou army, Yingzhou army, and Xuzhou army, the total number has exceeded 500,000, and the armor is complete. It is time to wipe out the decline of the world and give the people a peaceful and prosperous era!"
"Good, I wish you great success for your husband!"
Wu Ming opened his eyes and found that his cultivation was far beyond ordinary people. He was not comparable to Zhaixingzi, but also to the old Taoists of Fu Chenzi. In addition, his intimate relationship with Wu Zhi, he saw the red true dragon at a glance.
At this time, the red dragon eyes were open, the scales were bright, and they looked eager to try.
Even vaguely, Wu Ming sensed several dragon energy in the world, all of which showed a decay.
"The throne of the real dragon has been settled, and other dragon energy will inevitably decline... Eqi's troops this time is definitely the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves and sweeping the world, but it only needs to be cleaned inside..."
Seeing this, Wu Ming looked slightly at the head.
...
It is also a festival night market, but some people can hardly sleep at night.
Wisteria Academy, within a wing room.
Huang Zong looked at an oil lamp on the table, but his eyes were slightly lost.
‘What I have seen recently is that Wu Town has abundant food and full soldiers, and has a strong vitality. I am afraid it has decided to provoke a war in the world... Alas...’
As a Confucian scholar, the concept of unification is still deeply rooted in people's hearts, so Huang Zong is naturally willing to see the world reunite.
However, the question of whether the world will be surnamed Ji or other surnames has made him confused.
The Great Zhou has been in the world for almost three hundred years. The name of Dayi is sometimes not worth mentioning, and sometimes the energy is incredible.
Although Wu Zhi successfully consolidated his rule with the help of the court's righteousness and had the strength to swallow the world at this time, there were also undercurrents in the ruling group.
If Wu Ming was here, he would inevitably think of the events of the Eastern Han and the Three Kingdoms in his previous life.
Wu Zhi's approach of using the emperor to command the princes was quite similar to that of Cao Cao. When Prime Minister Cao was proud to prepare for a battle to settle the south of the Yangtze River, the Battle of Chibi directly put the hope of unification into vain, laying the groundwork for the future division and confrontation of the Three Kingdoms.
If the world had been truly unified at that time, even if the Cao family usurped the throne, there would have been no later Five Barbarians Invasion of China.
Unfortunately, there is no if in history. The defeat in the Battle of Red Cliff has many reasons, and the royalist sect's black hands are even more looming.
The situation facing Wu Chi is similar to this now.
If he could really unify the world, with this huge prestige, it would seem like a natural thing to make Ji Lin obediently abdicate. Judging from Wu Zhi's style, the probability is almost 100%!
And do the nobles in the court, and even those who claim to be loyal ministers of the Great Zhou, really want to see this scene?
Naturally, there is no need to expect what choices they will make.
Fortunately, Wu Ming had a lifetime of experience after all, and knew that there was nothing new under the sun. Since the royalists of the Eastern Han Dynasty could drag Cao Cao down for the sake of imperial power, these officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not need to rely too much on them.
