The family had a happy meal, and the meal was filled with uncommon laughter.

After drinking and eating, the three girls retreated together in a mutual sense, leaving Wu Bochang and his son chatting with a cup of tea.

"Dad, I have something to do, I want to hear what my father means."

"Well, say it."

"The child is thinking that the Mo family daughter is probably more than the child. Over the years, the Mo family has helped the child a lot, especially Mr. Mo, who has devoted himself to it... So, the child is thinking, is it a reward for the Mo family to marry the Mo family?"

Wu Bochang was silent for a while and asked, "Before, why didn't you marry me?"

Wu Zheng replied with a pursed lips: "Before, the child thought that he would be willing to be the first to be a master of Mo, but if the Mo family girl came in, it would be too powerful in his hands. Therefore, he kept dragging him down and not marry him, just to give the following hint."

"So, do you think this kind of worry doesn't exist now?" Wu Bochang asked with a calm expression.

Wu Zheng thought about it and replied, "Worry is still there, but now is different from the past. The child already has enough strength to deal with anything."

Wu Bochang smiled, "What else do you want to say? Marry! Dad looks at Mo's beautiful person and is not very kind. The key is that she is smart enough... Dad doesn't object, the more daughter-in-law, the better... Haha, our Wu family can finally grow."

Wu Zheng was amused and crying, "Will the child marry?"

"Marry, it's better not to be too late." Wu Bochang waved his hand, "By the way, my dad has something to do in his heart, I want to tell you."

"Oh... Daddy just said it."

"Zheng'er, in recent years of teaching, my father has felt that the idea of ​​a weak king and a strong country you advocate is correct and can be accepted by scholars. And letting scholars turn their heads to influence their relatives and friends in their families, which has a remarkable effect, but it is undeniable that there are some inappropriate aspects of this initiative."

"Please give me advice."

"It doesn't matter how much you give me advice... I'm not as good as you in this regard, so I'm considering an discussion." Wu Bochang looked at Wu Zheng deeply.

"yes."

"The idea of ​​a weak king and strong country liberates the thoughts of the people. This cannot be denied. However, the negative impact of this is that the king's appeal is greatly reduced. If it is just a period of peace, then it would be fine. But in a period of war, or in a time of crisis, who can still call for a high aspiration and followers gather? The decline of the king's majesty will make the country more harmful than good if the country is in a situation where the country is divided and ruled by the princes in various places again. The so-called inaction governance has been legendary for thousands of years, but in reality it doesn't work. Why? Because the people in the world have not yet reached the awareness that the king can rule inaction... Zheng Er, the people are stupid. You cannot rely on the people to spontaneously fight the enemy, nor can you rely on the spontaneous integrity and dedication of officials. At any time, it is impossible to reach the level of officials being sages."

Wu Zheng replied: "What my father said is reasonable, and it is the essence of man-rule. The key point is that my father also said it lies in people. This is just like when we were in Wuzhuang's house, the villagers usually invited when they encounter weddings and white events. A good music class does not care about the leader, and even an outsider, commands this music class are as easy as possible. But on the contrary, no matter how good a commander is, he will be helpless against a bad team. If the king is compared to the commander of the music class, the same principle is the same. In fact, the strength, rise and fall of the country has little to do with the king's tranquility and whether it is a king. This is also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen was diligent in his work and the Ming Dynasty still lost his country."

Wu Bochang sighed, "Since you know, do you think about how to deal with it?"

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Aren't Dad doing this?"

Wu Bochang was stunned and looked at Wu Zheng in silence.

Wu Zheng explained: "In Jiangbei, countless Han people hate the brutality of the Ming army and have been unscrupulous for a long time. When they saw the Qing army attacking the city, they even welcomed them. For them, there was no concept of a country or nation. They thought that life would be better if they changed to a new emperor. Therefore, there was no need to fight. Only when there were too many scholars in the Jiangnan area and understood the truth, they knew that they could fight and die for their beliefs. Although many scholars chose the wrong path, reading to understand right and wrong, and debate black and white is undeniable. The current situation is actually not the struggle between the destruction of Ming and the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass, but the opposition between the north and south of the Han scholars. No, to be precise, it is the opposition between the surrender faction and the perseverance faction."

Wu Bochang nodded thoughtfully and said, "This seems to make some sense."

Wu Zheng said: "The Manchu people have a total of one million people. How can it rule millions of people in China? In fact, it is nothing more than a group of scholars who use the military power of the Qing Dynasty to deal with another group of scholars."

Wu Bochang shook his head with a slight eyebrows and said, "This is wrong. The Manchus still want to destroy our Han people."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Yes. But they can't do it. No one can do it. To completely eliminate the Han people who have been passed down for thousands of years. The Huns cannot do it, and they will perish first. The Mongols cannot do it. They were driven back to the desert by Taizu and ate sand. Naturally, Manchus can't do it."

When Wu Bochang heard this, he also laughed, "This is appropriate."

"So, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the nearly three hundred years since its founding, and it lacked enough self-reflection, and its enterprising spirit, watching the growth of the Qing Dynasty, and the cleaning mechanism of dust removal and dirt removal, allowing corruption to run rampant, officials to collude, and in the later period, the emperor was too diligent, and the emperor did not even have enough prestige to implement his new policy, and his will was blocked within the Forbidden City Wall. Especially after the Donglin Party took power, the eunuch party collapsed and collapsed. The Donglin Party has been restless since then, lacked restrictions, and did not take the emperor seriously... Such internal and external difficulties coincide with the rise of the Qing Dynasty, how can it not perish? But if the Qing Dynasty was said to have destroyed the Ming Dynasty, I definitely don't agree with this. Just because the Tartars entered the pass, even if they were under the city of Shuntian Prefecture, they would not be able to attack. Without the surrender of the Ming people, there would be no Qing court today."

Wu Bochang sighed and said, "That's the reason. The great humiliation of the Han people is that the great Chinese people have been lost to the hands of a foreign race with a population of millions!"
