The same is true for contemporary scholars. They respect imperial power because their own power and status all come from imperial power. If the emperor is gone, everything they have will disappear.

At the same time, they tried their best to rush to encircle land and make money, and they would justify it, that is what the saints wrote in the books, and everything we do is following the saints’ ways!

In Zhu Qizhen's view, this behavior can be roughly summarized as being a bitch and wanting to set up a archway.

You have taken all fame and fortune, and after that, others will praise you. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

The cakes in the whole world are so big. If you eat one more piece, others will inevitably eat one less piece. If you steal other people’s cakes, you will also make others praise you for being selfless and noble in character. Is this possible?

Zhu Qiyu is now a typical person, the kind who is fooled by scholars.

In fact, it is not just him, but in this era, many people are like this.

Not everyone is as selfless as Yu Qian, with the heart of the world. Most people are frivolous people. They will unite and fool you together.

Therefore, except for the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the Jingnan emperor Zhu Di, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the imperial power would be restricted.

Emperor Zhengde said that the Forbidden City was disrepair for so long that I wanted to live in a new house. The ministers of the court stood up and shouted, "It was not done by the wise king."

In secret, the filial piety money these people gave Liu Jin was enough to build ten Forbidden City.

Emperor Chongzhen said that the country was in trouble, so everyone should donate some money. Everyone said there was no money. Queen Zhou secretly stuffed five thousand taels of silver to his father. As a result, the next day, her father donated three thousand taels...

When the King of Breaking into the capital, he beat the princes and ministers and easily copied out 70 million taels of silver!

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen could not be at the mercy of those ministers.

At the same time, he also wanted his little brother to understand this.

When I am not here, I still have to count on my little brother to watch the scene!

"Since it's just a chat, I'll just say whatever I think. If what I say is wrong, don't care too much."

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly said, "Prince, please speak!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Since everyone admires the Zhou rituals, why don't anyone ask for the restoration of the Zhou Dynasty's well-field system?"

"this……"

Zhu Qiyu was stunned again, yes, why?

Originally, he was ready to argue with his elder brother, at least to let the elder brother see that the issue of following the etiquette system is that he cannot give in.

However, hearing this sentence made him not know how to follow it.

All scholars are unwilling to mention the well-field system, because the well-field system is a public ownership system.

If the officials and gentry were asked to confiscate the land, they would be sure to immediately overturn the table and rebel!

Therefore, scholars recited Zhou Li in a serene way, listed it as one of the four books, and regarded it as sacred and inviolable.

However, there was really one person in the Ming Dynasty, the famous Fang Xiaoru.

This person once clearly supported the restoration of the well-field system, but... no one blasped him.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "Before Confucius, Duke Zhou was also a sage, and his books were also listed as the Four Books. The Zhou rituals advocated by Saint Confucius were the rituals formulated by Duke Zhou at that time. But why is no one willing to imitate Duke Zhou to implement the Zhou Rao etiquette system?"

Zhu Qiyu's face turned red and said, "I'll ask for advice from my brother!"

"Just give me some advice. I really said it just now, it's just that you and my brother are chatting."
