Chapter 298 What is the kingly way

Seeing that the old man was moved, he did not speak out, Xu Xianchun continued, "If you enter the country and do not retain the scholars, the country will be destroyed. If you see the wise but do not hurry, you will slow down your king. If you are not brave, you will not worry about the country."

Since Xu Xianchun was instructed by Emperor Chongzhen to come to the Mo family, he has done some homework.

The words that the opening words were said were the first paragraph of the opening of Mozi and his relatives.

Xu Xianchun said: "When Zi went to the Royal Academy today, I thought the Mo family no longer existed, and I also sighed to Lord Xu.

But after Lord Xu said that the successor of the Mo family was still in Tai'an, Your Majesty ordered Xu to come at night. This shows Your Majesty's importance to the Mo family."

The old man said curiously: "If I agree to go to Beijing, what kind of treatment can I get?"

Xu Xianchun laughed and said, "Didn't Xu just say that the official position is obtained by the old man and the title can be obtained even if he has made merit.

The old man may not know about others, but Lord Xu is also an old man. Now, as the dean of the Royal Academy, he does not have to pay a greeting when he sees the king and prince. At most, he bows his hand and has a seat in front of the emperor. What about such a courtesy?

Don’t worry, Mr., I am not stingy today. As long as it is useful to the Ming Dynasty, you will be granted an official position and appoint a title, Your Majesty will never be stingy."

The old man nodded and asked, "I dare to ask Master Xu, what way should I do to govern the country today? Kingly way? Domineering? Confucianism outside and law inside? Saint inside and king outside?"

Xu Xianchun pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure out what kind of strategy was Emperor Chongzhen's rule.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Xianchun decided to repeat the words of Emperor Chongzhen as it was, and the old man wanted to forget the rest.

After considering it, Xu Xianchun spoke, "Xu can't say what strategy does Your Majesty use to govern the country.

Your Majesty has always been in a vast and unrestrained manner, but what Your Majesty says is, everything you think is, and everything you think is, is not unsuccessful.

Xu had the honor of hearing His Majesty give lectures to the orphan young army and wrote down some of them. Perhaps His Majesty’s strategy for governing the country is included.”

The old man also said seriously: "Please give me advice."

Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "Your Majesty asked the boys what the kingly way is? What the domineering way is? Xu wrote down some of them."

But after saying that, Xu Xianchun said with a strange expression: "The so-called kingly way is that Lin Danhan, Jiannu and others provoke the Ming Dynasty, so they must find a way to destroy them.

The so-called domineering means that they must be destroyed regardless of whether they provoke or not.

As for the way of a gentleman, it is to tell them before destroying them.

The so-called way of the Ming Dynasty is that the barbarians have been destined to be destroyed since ancient times."

After hearing Xu Xianchun's words, the old man couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of any emperor explaining the kingly and domineering way like this.

However, Xu Xianchun's words were obviously not finished yet, and then continued: "If you say you are an inner saint, you will be really worthy of it.

Last year, Shaanxi had a severe drought. His Majesty made a clear order not to starve one person to death. He also plundered the treasury to buy food and transported it to Shaanxi, killing many corrupt officials.

Just to say it is a foreign king, it may not be necessary to Xu Mouyi’s opinion.”

The old man said curiously: "How is that?"
