Chapter 19: Choices

"It's very simple. The reform was at a critical moment. Zhang Juzheng's father died. According to the rules today, he needed to go home and mourn at least three years. However, after considering the reform situation at that time, Zhang Juzheng refused Ding You and asked Emperor Wanli to issue an order to seize love. The unfilial son and powerful minister who threatened the king and father had a reputation suddenly became very bad." At this point, Mo Zi raised three fingers and smiled contemptuously.

This Confucianism is not good!

After just one year of filial piety, you will know that this Confucianism is really not good!

"Does fellow Taoist Mo Di think that Zhang Juzheng's father died abnormally? Someone deliberately murdered him with the goal of letting Zhang Juzheng go home to mourn and destroy his reforms?" Nan Zi said in surprise.

"Hiss, these civil servants are really not a thing, they are too dark." Zhao Wuxiu thought about the struggle between the six Qings, and then the integrity of the civil servants. Suddenly, he found that Liu Qings were all shameless!

Compared with the civil servants in this world, all the six nobles have become great charitable people!

It's simply!

"Ahem, this is just a personal guess for fellow Taoist. There is no direct evidence. Maybe Zhang Juzheng's father happened to die of illness?" Confucius said directly.

These scholars are all well-educated and rational. When they act, they take benevolence, righteousness and morality as their principles. How could they be so bad? Are there any misunderstandings in the middle?

"When the former Minister of War, when he was planning to thoroughly investigate the Beijing camp, my father died and then went home to worry. I guess this time it was the action of the nobles."

"After the former Minister of Rites proposed to regulate private schools in the world and unify standards, and to make private schools loyal to the court rather than to those wealthy businessmen, local tyrants and gentry who handle private schools, his mother died. Ding You did not return to the court three years later. I suspect this time it was the gentry's move."

"After the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue once proposed to unify the national fire consumption standards, his adoptive father passed away for three years!"

"forward……"

When Mozi recited more than 20 senior civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to make a difference but had to go home for worry because of his parents' death, Confucius also fell silent.

Speaking of this, Mo Zi smiled: "Of course, we are not afraid. After all, our identity is that both parents die. After the fellow Taoists are in high positions, this move will be useless!"

"The current form of the rivers and lakes is like this: the territory of the Huashan Sect is only related, while the Wudang Sect gathers a large number of royal children. Their mission is to monitor the entire south. The disciples of Wudang are often killed by the salt merchants, the Haoshang, the Donglin Party, the Qi Party, and the Zhejiang Party in the south."

"As for the Emei Sect, it is even more complicated. The Emei Sect has two major forces. One is the daughter of the royal family and the emperor represented by the daughter of nobles, and the other is the daughter of civil officials. They represent gentry and civil officials. Therefore, when the former was in power, the Emei Sect killed gentry and merchants, and when the latter was in power, the Emei Sect killed eunuchs, that is, the royal party and the imperial party."

"This is a sect of righteousness. In addition to them, there are also the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect is complicated. The top leaders include gentry, royal family, nobles, and civilians. Moreover, the internal struggle is extremely fierce, and the top leaders are often beaten up and stabbing the leader."

"In summary, the world of this world is far more simple than the world, it is a corner of the world. The disputes in the world include the current political form. If you fail to pass the Jinshi exam, then joining the righteous sect is also a good choice."

"So, my choice is to join the Huashan Sect, strive to become the leader of Huashan, and then integrate the resources of Guanzhong, and eventually become the leader of the righteous path, the leader of the martial arts world, build a new era of martial arts world, transform the entire river and lake, and until the entire Ming Dynasty."

Let us suffocate for our dreams!

Slap

Amid the applause, Mozi went down and Sun Wu came up.

"I am Sun Wu, who likes military tactics. This Ming Dynasty was so unfriendly to military generals and too dark. The cause of all this came from the Tumu Fort Incident many years ago. Before that, the status of civil servants and military generals was basically equal. After that, civil servants were completely dominant."

As for what the Tumu Fort Incident was, my grandson didn't say it.

"According to my observation, the Ming Dynasty has many internal and external troubles. The Tartars in the Northeast have already gained a foothold through the Battle of Sarhu, and now Liaodong is already decayed. When the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty are trapped in the state of government affairs, they cannot be suppressed within 20 or 30 years. The chieftains in the mountainous areas of the southwest are also ambitious."

"Because the civil servants had no enemies, they began to crazily dig out the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and crazy land annexation. Now the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years. Most of the land has been concentrated in the hands of civil servants, and civil servants do not have to pay taxes. In theory, they also have to pay taxes, but there is always a difference between theory and practice."

"This has led to an extremely strange phenomenon. Civil officials who own most of the land in the Ming Dynasty do not have to pay taxes. In order to pacify the Tartars, the court imposed an additional Liao salary, which was levied one tael of silver from the top, and the minor officials below dared to ask the farmers to pay ten taels of silver!"

"So, I think that if the Ming Dynasty does not change and does not appear a peerless hero or a super powerful minister, then the Ming Dynasty's national destiny will obviously not last long."

"In other words, it won't take long to go, the Ming Dynasty, which looks very big and strong, will be over! In the troubled times, force is the most important thing. So I decided to join the army, but now the status of ordinary soldiers is too low, so I have to change my path, join the Jinyiwei first, and then join the army after a hundred households."

"It's really unimaginable how could there be such a court. The military generals who defended the court had such a low status. I really don't know who was the first to separate the literati and military generals. Among the countries, which country forcibly divide literati and military generals?" Sun Wu said in confusion.

If any country among the nations dares to do this like the Ming Dynasty, it will be brought to the door by other princes the next day. It won’t be long before this country will only exist in history.

But who made the Ming Dynasty invincible now?

Without foreign enemies, only by constantly committing suicide, constantly self-harm, and constantly weakening oneself can the senior officials of the court be satisfied.

"According to the Ming Dynasty, I should be considered a civil servant, but I can also tear tigers and leopards, fight against thieves, and protect one side!" Confucius sighed.

After a moment, I stepped forward.

At this moment, I still had white hair, white eyebrows and white beard, but there was no wrinkle on his forehead, and his skin was white and red, and he looked very healthy.

"Friends of Taoism, I am Lao Dan. I don't have the strong desire to change the Ming Dynasty like fellow Taoist Confucius, nor do I have the idea of ​​becoming the leader of the martial arts world and changing the world first. I am just an ordinary old man who wants to live a longer life."

"So I plan to be a Taoist priest, learn from the advanced health experience of Taoist priests in this world, and continue to observe the nature of the world. So I plan to join the Wudang Sect first, become a Taoist priest who is engaged in theory, and then read the Taoist sect in this world well and increase your knowledge."

"In the Ming Dynasty, the status of Taoists was high and low. The emperor's teacher was high and low, and the low could be a teacher of landlords. It was a relatively comfortable profession."

Having said that, Lao Dan went down.

I just continue to be a history of keeping a house!

Continue to maintain health!

It's that simple!
