After a moment of repentance, Jiajing realized that the root cause was not in him at all.
The Datong society, which is rooted in the rule of the Three Dynasties of Confucianism, is so ethereal that normal kings would choose to give up.
Not only did the Datong society abandon the rule of the Three Generations, but even the restoration of Zhou rites was not attempted by normal emperors and courtiers. The only one who tried was Wang Mang, who was a rebellious minister and a traitor, and he failed quickly.
At this moment, Jiajing did not feel that these ambitious goals were motivational tools at all. Instead, he felt that it was these things that no one could achieve that made him completely lose the motivation to fight.
In terms of Confucian standards, someone as powerful as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is still a pile of black material. It was just that I had no choice but to choose a representative, so I was established. In hundreds of years, there has never been a second Tang Taizong. Because it represents, just one is enough.
The need for reform was actually something that was agreed upon when Zhang Cong was the chief minister.
It was just changed back forty years later by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
In the past, Zhang Cong argued hard for Jiajing and the identity of Jiajing’s parents in the grand ceremony.
If Zhang Cong hadn't taken the lead in rebelling, there's really no telling who Jiajing would cry to his grave and whom he would recognize as his father.
I didn’t think so before, but now I realize that since the goal of Confucianism is so illusory, Zhang Cong still works hard to reform and has a firm will. He is really a rare talent. Even though I was young back then, I still had a rare insight.
Of course, there is also Gui Calyx.
It is different from Zhang Cong who also had a son, Zhang Xunfu, who was left to die in Nanzhili. Gui E seems to have had no descendants since he returned to his hometown of Jiangxi in the 10th year of Jiajing.
Jiajing's temperament of being thrown away after use was rare, and he finally reacted and cherished the memory of his old friend.
The more I remember Zhang Cong, Gui E and others, the more I find that the current Hangzhou New Learning is elusive.
Gao Hanwen has thrown out too many things in more than half a year.
So much so that when political opponents and scholars wanted to concentrate their firepower on counterattack, they didn’t know which way to choose.
Similarly, while the foreign ministers were dazzled, Jiajing was also looking at flowers in the fog.
If it weren’t for Yinliang from the Weaving Bureau and Eunuch Zhong over there at Taiwan, they would have planned two products: Fushou ointment and aphrodisiac. The difference is that the former is packaged in oil paper, while the latter is exquisitely decorated and uses various Juicy flowers enhance the flavor.
Thinking about it, Gao Hanwen’s annual income of two million taels shouldn’t be a problem.
In this way, if you add up the inside and outside, you should have four million taels a year. This does not include the ones that were moved back from the Iwami Silver Mine. It's a pity that all the officials opposed the provocation, otherwise they would have sent people over to seize the silver mine.
I was skeptical at first, but I didn’t expect that the silver mine was actually real. I just don’t know if Lu Bo who was stranded in the Japanese country is really dead or is destined to die.
Anyone who can increase the income of the imperial court, especially the inner court, does not look like a traitor.
But Gao Hanwen had a deep affection for the Ming Dynasty.The feeling of being away still made Jiajing uneasy.
Reform will definitely bring problems. But what if Gao Hanwen stepped away from the situation at the most critical moment when the problem was most serious? Then the emperor would have to face the storm of reform alone.
At this point, Jiajing actually wanted to be confused. Since Gao Hanwen did not support Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, why did he bother with so many reforms? Since we want to reform, we have to do big things without sacrificing our lives and dare not devote ourselves wholeheartedly.
While thinking about it, Jiajing actually laughed and coughed several times.
Huang Jin rushed forward to help him, reminding the old emperor that it was time to go to bed. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
