"The Biqing family's remarks are understandable, and they are not considered rebellious words. To put it bluntly, the Han people have been poor for thousands of years and are afraid of being poor. Now they have a good opportunity to live, and they dare not be extravagant. They have to use some means to force them!"

After Zhu Youxiao learned about Bi Ziyan's subsequent ruling philosophy, he talked about this with Xiong Tingbi, the Duke of Yiguo, who was still alive, the adviser to stay in Beijing.

Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "The Master said, "I love others with integrity and use. But my Chinese have been influenced by this saint's teachings for thousands of years. Naturally, I am used to being diligent and frugal, and I am ashamed of being arrogant, extravagant and extravagant. Even though the old ministers now receive the emperor's grace and are extremely wealthy and glorious, they still only like frugality. If you want to change now, the entire saint's teachings must be changed."

"Of course, the times are different! The sentence you just said just now has a sentence that uses the people to the times. Anyway, it generally means resting with the people. Saving is for the people to have extra wealth. But now, the Ming Dynasty has abolished corvee and not to use the people, so there is no such thing as expending the people. Now it is necessary to encourage consumption. Who made me, the Ming Dynasty now focus on business?"

Zhu Youxiao replied, and said, "It seems that it is possible for my Daming people to become rich."

"It is possible, but not equally rich, and even the embarrassing people will not disappear absolutely, because people are ultimately different from hard work and laziness."

Xiong Tingbi replied.

"That's right! In terms of civil affairs, how can the Han people live more wealthy and let Bi Qing and others do it? What I care more about now is the long-term strategy of the Ming Dynasty! Plan ahead and think about the crisis if there is a crisis of the country's overturn in the future, what is the crisis? What are the chronic diseases within us that need to be eliminated."

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he looked at the colorful sky ahead and thought deeply.

Xiong Tingbi was also thinking deeply like him.

After a while, Xiong Tingbi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, how to go on the Ming Dynasty in the future is not possible with the old ministers. You have to listen to what younger generations think, because the old ministers and others have lived in the first half of their lives on agriculture, and what they have learned and seen is limited. I never thought that there could be four or five people in the world who can live without land, and even have a wealthy family. If it were not for me to see it with my own eyes, even if Xiao He and Zhuge and other capable ministers are alive, I would not believe that they can do it."

"A younger generation?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, then smiled and said, "The younger generations are now incompatible with water and fire. You don't know that Xi Shiwen, the scholars who studied Confucianism, and scholars who studied new education represented by the Royal Academy often argued and fight. You should have an impression of the group fights outside the academic government office that occurred before. In addition, even the scholars who were inside the Imperial College or the Royal Academy are not unified enough in many aspects."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let's take one step at a time. The younger generations do not have a unified consciousness and lack the great scholars of the new era, and can lead them. The key now is to take advantage of the fact that we are still there to eliminate all the remnants that are not conducive to the long-term stability of the country and abolish all the inappropriate old systems."

Xiong Tingbi Ting and Zhu Youxiao said this, and frequently said, "When talking about this, the old minister remembered a matter of clan power. After King Xinbin died, his coffin was not allowed to be buried in his ancestral land by his clan. He said that he had been expelled from the genealogy by the Yuan clan. Therefore, King Xinbin had to be buried in another land. His grandson Yuan Shu originally wanted to report this matter, but was stopped by him. He said that if the scholars and officials no longer abide by clan power, clan power would be destroyed. This is the only power that can show high and inferiority today. It is impossible to really want the king to be below the king and all living beings are equal."

"But in essence, the clan power has not been recognized by the imperial power and national constitution. Whether the Xinbin King can be buried in his ancestral land and whether he can be expelled from the clan genealogy is up to me!"

Zhu Youxiao looked serious and continued: "The first thing that the scholars and officials in the future of the Ming Dynasty must dare to fight against is their clan. Only such scholars and officials can govern the world for the king and be worthy of being the people of the court. Otherwise, they will not be able to confront the reactionaries who restrict the long-term prosperity of the empire."

Zhu Youxiao said, and said to Xiong Tingbi: "You send a letter to Yuan Shu and ask him if he obeys the father's power, or is he willing to question whether the clan power is in line with the imperial regime and the constitution based on his conscience and feelings for his grandfather. If he chooses the latter, he will immediately impeach his father's family. I hope he can become the person who dared to fight against his family for his conscience and the constitution since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If he chooses the former..."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Then let him go! My Ming Dynasty will not lack scholars with independent personality in the future!"

"yes!"

Not long after, Yuan Shu received a letter from Xiong Tingbi.

This made it very difficult for Yuan Shu to choose.

The reason for the patriarchal power is because of human ethics. I want my grandfather to return to the Yuan family genealogy and return to the ancestral land, which is also because of human ethics.

Therefore, no matter which side of betrayal, it is betrayal of human emotions.

Whether the clan power is in line with the imperial constitution and the national constitution made Yuan Shu fall into deep thought in his rationality.

In the end, after thinking about it, Yuan Shu believed that the ethics advocated by Confucianism were only a kind of moral constraint and could not be regarded as a power to restrain people by the clan. All real power could only come from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who had the words in his mouth.

"My father is wrong. He and the tribe members of the Yuan family have no right to decide whether their grandfather is qualified to be buried in the ancestral land. The clan power they exercise is against the imperial rules and national laws!"

Yuan Shu thought about this and finally submitted a memorial to impeach his father and the Yuan clan.

"Crazy! This Yuan Shu is crazy! What's the difference between him and his plot? He actually impeached his father and his clan. This is simply a traitor! It's not filial!"

Cabinet Grand Secretary Wen Zhenmeng was shocked on the spot after seeing Yuan Shu’s memorial. He never thought that one day, someone would come to this place to impeach his father and his clan!

Wen Tiren, who is also a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, couldn't help but smile and said, "The longer you live, the more new things you see. This matter is incredible now, but in a few years, you won't think that there is anything. Although Yuan Shu did this inappropriately, it is legal. What is revealed here is whether he should govern the country with etiquette or by law in the future of the Ming Dynasty. If he follows the etiquette, he will naturally be a ruthless act! If he follows the law, it will be a loyal and upright statement. The powers not approved by the imperial constitution are all illegal powers."

"Why should the country be governed by etiquette or the country be governed by law?"

Another cabinet minister, Zhang Zhi, asked.

"present!"

"Law!"

Wen Tiren and Wen Zhenmeng replied almost in unison.

"If you do not follow the etiquette, then the laws and regulations will not exist! Since ancient times, you have governed the country by following the etiquette of Zhou. How can you abolish it today? If you abolish it, you will not be China!"

"If you don't follow the law, then there will be no limit on power! There are also dynasties that do not follow the Zhou rituals. Isn't it considered China? China is not a national system of Zhou rituals. Now the Ming Dynasty has been in ancient dynasties, and now it is now a tribute to both rural and commercial enterprises. Even the court's taxes are mostly based on merchants, and it is even more necessary to establish a country with confidence rather than righteousness!"

The two of them almost argued in unison again.

...

"Your Majesty, the guards come to report, and the cabinet has started arguing!"

In Damingyuan, Wang Chengen hurried to Zhu Youxiao to report.
Chapter completed!
