Chapter 103                                                             

Zhou Mengchen would never castrate scientific theories in order to compromise with imperial power, or create a farce that uses scientific methods to prove the sacredness of imperial power.

Everyone will stand in front of history and examine themselves.

Zhou Mengchen came from the downstream of history and knew even more about what the direction of history in later generations was? Perhaps because of his existence, historical details had changed. But the general trend would not change. When he thought of some people in later generations who took out his theory of proving the sacredness of imperial power and beat him up in a variety of ways. Zhou Mengchen felt ashamed.

Everyone must have a standard to measure themselves when they live. Some people are very rude and have money to measure themselves, while others are not. They have academic achievements or other achievements to measure themselves. But Zhou Mengchen has reached this position and can only measure themselves in history.

Knowing that I blame me, only Spring and Autumn.

Zhou Mengchen would rather give up all his career today, or even give up his own life, than forgive himself for writing a kneeling Zhou Mengchen in history.

Therefore, he could only choose another path.

The longer this era, the more Zhou Mengchen discovered it, whether it was Jiajing's power and rudeness, Jiajing did lacked a lot of profound perspectives, which was probably related to the education that Jiajing received. He only received the education of the vassal kings, and had not received any serious Confucian education. In his mind, Confucianism was mostly empty and he had no idea that under the seemingly pedantic theories of Confucianism, there was a hidden way of governing the country in the Ming Dynasty and the rules of the system.

Jiajing is just something floating on the surface and has mastered it. But so what? The world is still going on every day.

If Jiajing truly understood the Confucian style, he would not dare to say that he was a promising king and created a prosperous era, but as a successful monarch, such as Emperor Hongzhi, it would be possible.

It is not as if the Ming Dynasty court is struggling now and it feels like it is over.

Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, the solution of Neo-Confucianism is increasingly unable to solve the endless problems that emerged in the Ming society. This is why many great scholars wanted to create new theories to remedy the problem of rigidity in nature.

It is precisely because Jiajing didn't understand, and Jiajing claimed to be smart, so he couldn't listen to the advice of Confucian ministers. Of course, some Confucian ministers really read books to death. They didn't understand the logic behind this, and some really understood it, but how can we tell the emperor about such a naked interest? What if the emperor understands it, what should we do if he learns bad things?

After all, Neo-Confucianism often does not allow profit. We can only vaguely and let the emperor understand it himself.

But Jiajing always lets others understand his words, how could he comprehend other people's ideas?

He didn't have this idea, so he naturally couldn't understand a lot of things in his words.

The greatest distance between people is face to face communication, but you don’t know what I want to say. Not to mention, how many ministers can have face to face with Jiajing?

Moreover, Jiajing's ability to control the court and his courage, if he made up his mind, he would be able to implement a reform. It is likely that the emperor after the Ming Dynasty would be impossible. Zhou Mengchen had a good relationship with the prince, but the prince was very weak in nature. He might be able to delegate power, but the reform was not just that the emperor could delegate power.

In the Ming Dynasty, without a firm emperor's support, many things could not be done.

Therefore, when Jiajing was alive, Zhou Mengchen had to take up the throne and reform. Once Jiajing passed away, many of Zhou Mengchen's thoughts would die. And when a certain emperor understands the emperor, or simply has a weak control, Zhou Mengchen is likely to be counterattacked.

And even if this time is not counted, just counting Zhou Mengchen's age, this is the most suitable time period.

The hardships that the reform work are done a hundred times more difficult to do in the local area. Now Zhou Mengchen is in his thirties, and from this age to fifty is his most capable and energetic period, at most until he is sixty. After he is sixty, Zhou Mengchen doesn't know whether he can have strong energy.

A prime minister, perhaps Zhou Mengchen could still do it at the age of sixty or seventy. However, it was not easy for a reform prime minister to do it. When Zhang Juzheng died, he was less than 60 years old. When other civil servants and officials could live in their seventies or eighties, Zhang Juzheng was less than 60 years old. Although Zhang Juzheng was sick himself, it might not be related to the heavy government affairs.

Zhou Mengchen didn't want to do it, so he died before he could succeed.

Zhou Mengchen made up his mind and said, "Please don't worry, I remember this matter in my heart."

Luo Qinshun didn't know what Zhou Mengchen had made of his decision, so he thought Zhou Mengchen listened to his words. However, he didn't know that he forced Zhou Mengchen even more.

Luo Qinshun looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'm leaving. I can see you there before my death and have successors in the Ming Dynasty. I can also report to Emperor Taizu. In the future, don't be so reckless, think more and do less."

"Thank you for your teachings, I will keep them in mind." Zhou Mengchen could hear it. Luo Qinshun's true feelings and true feelings in his words. He also understood that with the communication of this era, it is very likely that this is their last side.

Luo Qinshun got on the boat with the help of his juniors and left Suzhou from then on.

A few months later, Zhou Mengchen heard the bad news about Luo Qinshun and was also lost in his mind. I wonder if this trip to Tiger Hill brought great burden to Luo Qinshun's body, or whether Luo Qinshun's destiny has arrived. After all, it is not surprising that people in their eighties or nineties will leave at any time.

But Zhou Mengchen's shame cannot be erased.

Of course, this is a later story.

Although Zhou Mengchen was very thoughtful at this moment, he could have put an end to his lectures. Gu Yingxiang ran back and forth in Suzhou, running the Six Arts Academy, and even invited Tang Shunzhi as one of the professors. Zhou Mengchen was very familiar with Tang Shunzhi. After all, this is one of the recognized ministers of military affairs that are recognized by the world.

However, Tang Shunzhi's career was not smooth at all. When Zhao Wenhua was there, Tang Shunzhi had dates with Zhao Wenhua. Zhao Wenhua recommended Tang Shunzhi's promotion many times. However, Tang Shunzhi did not accept it. Tang Shunzhi followed Zhao Wenhua because there were Japanese pirates in his hometown. He wanted to fight against Japanese pirates and could not have socialized with those who were in power at that time.

At the same time, he also saw the collapse of the Yan Party, so he naturally was unwilling to get on the Yan Party's ship. So his status was a little awkward and almost Zhao Wenhua's aide.

After Zhou Mengchen came, he killed Zhao Wenhua all at once, and Tang Shunzhi's identity became even more embarrassing. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a remnant of the Yan Party.

However, wherever Tang Shunzhi's identity and status are, in terms of qualifications, he is not much shallower than Hu Zongxian. He is a talent who can be very useful. It's just that Zhou Mengchen killed Zhao Wenhua like this, and Tang Shunzhi immediately clinged to Zhou Mengchen, which was too ugly. Although Tang Shunzhi himself did not accept much gift from Zhao Wenhua, there were always some inconveniences in his relationship before.

Tang Shunzhi is going to take a look first.

At this moment, his idea of ​​leaving the mountain became weak. The reason is very simple. Zhou Mengchen did everything in Jiangnan, and although there was nothing surprising about the combat arrangement, it was also a step-by-step approach and there were no mistakes or omissions.

The arrogance of the Japanese pirates was suppressed at once.

Tang Shunzhi had a greater choice. In fact, although he had some ideas about becoming an official, he didn't have much thoughts.

This time, Gu Yingxiang invited him, and Tang Shunzhi agreed. I wonder if he had the idea of ​​going back to the mountain, so he made a transfer at Liuyi Academy and had bothered each other. He still had to concentrate on his academic work. But no matter what, Tang Shunzhi was a talent that Zhou Mengchen could not ignore.

Tang Shunzhi was not only a military minister, but Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation was influenced by Tang Shunzhi. He was also a versatile talent, including military strategy, navigation, mathematics, articles, and Confucianism. It can be said that he is Zhou Mengchen's favorite type of talent.

However, Tang Shun's thoughts were related to King Zhu and tended to learn practically.

If Tang Shunzhi can be defeated, it will not only be a political right-hand man, but also a general in knowledge. However, Zhou Mengchen cannot be in a hurry. He must first touch Tang Shunzhi's intentions. In addition, he still has a lot of political affairs to deal with. Let's see how Tang Shunzhi does at the Six Arts Academy. Then make plans.
