Chapter 64                                                          

A plan is a good plan, but it doesn't fit Zhu Qizhen's thoughts.

Zhu Qizhen was a little worried.

After all, Zhu Qizhen was not when he was young. If Zhu Qizhen was young, he had to use various means to force Xiang Zhong to go on the road that Zhu Qizhen wanted. But now Zhu Qizhen didn't have so much thought to get entangled with Xiang Zhong. Zhu Qizhen said: "What Xiang Qing said is that from now on, marriage between the vassal kings in various places will be the affairs of the clan's mansion."

Xiang Zhong said: "I am foolish in my opinion, if you can get your Majesty's praise, it is a blessing in my three lives."

Zhu Qizhen said: "However, I still have to go to Mobei. Beijing is so hot that I can't bear it. I want to go north to escape the summer heat, okay?"

Zhu Qizhen simply broke up. He didn't find any reason, I just wanted to go.

Xiang Zhong took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty wants to escape the heat, but the West Garden is OK. If Your Majesty thinks the West Garden is OK, I think the West Mountain is OK. It will not be thousands of miles away. The emperor will damage Your Majesty's noble body and consume the money and food of the court. Now that the prince is away, the country has no foundation. Your Majesty wants to go out for a tour, but what is the country? Where is the temple of the ancestors?"

Zhu Qizhen said, "Xiang Qing is too worried. I am healthy and can draw a bow of two stones. Besides, the ancient saint kings have been on tour for many years and have not lost their country. I have only been on tour once, so how could such a thing happen?"

Xiang Zhong said: "This is one time and another."

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "It's really funny. The useful things are done by the Holy King of Simu Gu. The useless things are all at once."

Qiu Jun heard this and burst into tears, and hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty wants to inspect the world, but I must not do it. It is just that the saint is in charge of the important matters. You must discuss it carefully before you can think of a proper way. Please forgive me."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen glanced at Xiang Zhong and said, "So that's what you mean? Is it Xiang Qing?"

Xiang Zhong saw sweat on his forehead, stammering his neck, opened his mouth twice before gritting his teeth and saying, "Yes."

The remaining power of the tiger is there, and Zhu Qizhen is not a dead tiger, but just an old dragon. It can be said that in the court, Zhu Qizhen really wanted to do something, but nothing could not be done. This is where Zhu Qizhen's accumulated power for decades, and Xiang Zhong has tried his best to stop it. At this point, he can no longer withstand it.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen's last words were related to another whirlpool in the court. Xiang Zhong was also worried that the matter would get worse and he could not stop it.

I can only agree.

What kind of big vortex?

It is a split Confucianism.

In order to reform, Zhu Qizhen defeated Neo-Confucianism from the government theory in a precarious way. Zhu Qizhen mentioned the Gongyang theory seriously and discussed the theory of the fifth generation, providing a theoretical basis for Zhu Qizhen's reform. However, what Zhu Qizhen did was essentially killing and burying.

First of all, Zhu Qizhen didn't understand what kind of ideological system it was, which was more suitable for China and what kind of ideological system was conducive to the development of science.

Secondly, Zhu Qizhen felt that only with full freedom and fierce debate could a more complete theory appear.

Third, when Zhu Qizhen got older, he was no longer willing to read the ancient documents that were rude and no longer wanted to understand the ideas of several schools.

Only a few times did the practical learning school, led by Belin, take action a few times in secret, but no one noticed it.

However, Zhu Qizhen ignored it, which did not mean that these disputes were over, but that there were more. Of course, this was also related to a series of changes in the Ming society.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty's economy has developed rapidly, and its development of the sea has also led to new production organization models, factoryization, the emergence of a large number of workers, and even the use of steam engines. These changes that did not occur before the Ming Dynasty have impacted the hearts of a large number of Confucian scholars.

Of course, under the great development, there are many problems.

Zhu Qizhen solved some problems in political structure and other issues, such as abolishing clerks and changing them to officials. It cleared the obstacles to the underlying structure for the development of the Ming Dynasty. However, it also seriously affected local gentry. This was especially true for several times when the land was cleared.

These fierce ideological changes are even more reflected in the school's competition.

The southern academic studies emerged in a new era. In Zhu Qizhen's view, it was somewhat different from Wang Yangming's academic studies, but the focus was on defending merchants, intending to improve the status of merchants, and even put forward that the four people are the foundation. There are also Yongjia studies in Fujian, etc., which are similar statements.

In the north and even inland, many places are still in the world of Neo-Confucianism.

Of course, in order to keep Neo-Confucianism developing in this era, these disciples and disciples of Zhu Xi proposed many interesting theories, and they also had differences between them. There are many schools within Neo-Confucianism.

The school of practical learning is a school of great success in Beijing, combining the concepts of different principles, pursuing things to learn, and applying the world to apply it. It is a school of great success in Beijing. There is also a reason.

Zhu Qizhen has always wanted to develop Beijing into an industrial city.

Although what he did cannot be said to be completely successful, Beijing has become the largest industrial city in the north and even the country. Zunhua's iron has become various utensils outside Beijing, as well as the coal industry in Xishan, etc. It is precisely because of so many industries that many craftsmen believe in practical learning, which is the solid foundation of practical learning.

But Beijing is Beijing after all, the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the fundamental place of the Ming Dynasty. It is a must-fight for all Confucian theories.

The entire Ming Dynasty was just Beijing, and this kind of controversy was the most intense. Of course, this was also because Beijing had the most developed newspaper industry in the Ming Dynasty.

The most essential characteristic of Confucianism is to learn literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families. They have their own political ambitions, and because of this situation, academic debates can also affect the direction of the court.

This is something Xiang Zhong didn't want to see.

Although Xiang Zhong is from the Neo-Confucianism line, he does not favor any new school. Like many old ministers, people often take things for granted before they are born, but it is difficult to accept things that appear after they are born.

Although of course, Xiang Zhong was not in the capital of Zhu Qizhen's Biyong meeting, he was already a senior official of the court at that time. He was very clear about the tricks here. Naturally, he didn't think that there were any good or bad things in these so-called new learnings. He was even worried.

What he was worried about was nothing else, such a fierce academic competition, which would have spread to the court.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is still in power, but after these old-fashioned figures retreat and young people who believe in different ideas take office, it is difficult for them not to spread the disputes caused by academics to the court.

But he had no choice. After all, at that time, he was probably gone.

Xiang Zhong naturally can't control the future, but if Xiang Zhong is still there for a day, he must prevent this kind of thing from spreading to the court.

Just like Zhu Qizhen's words, I don't know how big the storm will cause after I go out.

After all, after Zhu Qizhen broke the dominance of Neo-Confucianism, he held high the banner of retro and questioned the fake works of Shangshu, which led to two different theories, one was retro and the other was doubtful.

Xiang Zhong knew very well that he could no longer stop Zhu Qizhen, so he was naturally even more reluctant to cause trouble.

Zhu Qizhen did not expect that Xiang Zhong had thought about so many things in the blink of an eye and said, "Since that's the case, Huai'en will go on a tour road map, let the prime minister take a look."

When Xiang Zhong heard this, he said to himself, "It turns out that he had planned it." He sighed secretly, took a document handed over by Huaien, opened it and looked at it, his face changed, and he said, "Your Majesty, how is this a Northern Camp? Is this clearly a patrol of the world?"

In the documents in Xiang Zhong's hand, he drew a road map, starting from Beijing, from the northeast to the north of the Mobei, then from the north of the Mobei to Yanran Mountain, and entering the Western Regions. Then he turned around and advanced eastward along the northwest, entering Henan, from Luoyang to Xiangyang, from Xiangyang to the Han River, along the Han River to the Yangtze River, from the Yangtze River to Nanjing, and then inspecting the south of the Yangtze River, and then spending the winter in Nanjing.

The time to return to Beijing is next year. After the spring of next year, go to the capital along the canal.

For a whole year, Zhu Qizhen had no intention of being in the capital.

Compared to the last southern tour, it took a lot longer.

Xiang Zhong naturally could not recognize it.

Zhu Qizhen said, "I am old. I want to see what happened to the Ming Dynasty general? Don't worry, if the user department doesn't pay the money, all expenses will be paid from the internal warehouse."

Xiang Zhong said: "Your Majesty, I------"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Hui'en, give another minute to the tour map to the prime minister."

Huai'en agreed and immediately handed Xiang Zhong another drawing in his hand.

After seeing this, Xiang Zhong felt even more dizzy.

Nothing else, the first half of the Zhu Qizhen route is generally average. However, after arriving in Jiangnan, he did not return to Nanjing for winter, but went to sea and went south along the coastline, from Ningbo to Fujian, from Fujian to Guangzhou. After wintering in Guangdong, he went north to the capital.

This is something Xiang Zhong could never agree to.

There is nothing else, it is shipping.

Although the Ming Dynasty had already started large-scale shipping, and even the prince went to the expedition this time was shipping, Xiang Zhong still could not allow the emperor to go to sea.

During the Han Dynasty, many people were willing to go to the emperor to take a boat because the risk factor was high, and now the same is true. Although shipping has proven to be very safe, the accident rate of shipping is far from foolproof. Every year, you can still hear ships sinking on the sea due to various problems.

The emperor is in charge of the world. If there is any mistake, Xiang Zhong doesn’t know how to deal with it. How could he let Zhu Qizhen go out to sea?

Zhu Qizhen also understood this and said lightly: "Prime Minister, you can choose one of these two points for the tour route."
