He is really not the first time to use strong. Yao Ji was the first victim two years ago, although Zhang Ning would definitely not dare to do it if he knew the truth at that time.
Now that Yao Ji knew about Dong's incident, she seemed to act calmly; Zhang Ning certainly would not tell others about this, Yao Ji was an exception.
She had already received some news from Chunmei, but it was impossible to confirm it, and Zhang Ning didn't want to hide it from her. She was willing to tell her the identity of later generations, but what secrets could not be told?
I will help her keep this matter safe, and this is not a big deal, you don’t have to worry about it.
Yao Ji said lightly, she said it lightly, and there was no need to worry about her. She might have been confused for a while and her feelings were entangled, but it would be better in a while.
Yao Ji's hairstyle at home is very casual, with her long hair tied up on her temples, shaped like a smooth and natural stroke on a painting paper, and her soft black hair has a healthy luster.
The most beautiful thing is the hairline where her flat forehead and hair are in communication, the black black hair and white skin, like a beautiful ink painting on white rice paper.
But her color was not so monotonous. Her vermilion lips and shiny golden silk embellished them on the collar of her clothes, which was neither out of the ordinary nor noble.
Zhang Ning didn't want to continue talking about Dong's family, and then he said: I must win this battle.because……
Yao Ji's eyes were very bright, and she looked over with a smile, as if she had a deep meaning.
Her usual expression also gives people this feeling. It is not the idle worries of the little girl who is sad in spring and autumn, nor the frivolousness of playing, but she smiles, with a little charm, care, and fears.
Zhang Ning felt that it would be too vulgar to mention some things in front of Yao Ji, so he avoided talking about them and said: There are many reasons, one of which I think we must win: We have done so many things until now, so it is still meaningful?
significance?Yao Ji pondered, as if thinking about this word.
Zhang Ning said: Many people have died since we started the army and have occupied some territory. If it is pacified like this, or just to compete for some benefits, what is the meaning of the many costs you pay?Maybe the mother is right. When we have some power, relying on power to plunder some things is not important, and we can take advantage of more benefits, have a good house to live in and have a rich life. However, while we get it from the position, we may also fulfill some responsibilities or missions. This is the conscience of power, which is more important than caring for minor details.
Yao Ji smiled and nodded and said: It is a good thing that you think so. People always have to find some reason for what they do. I don’t want you to always regret your mistakes like your father.
Although Yu Qian was caught and he was no longer my opponent, I still think of him occasionally.He has faith and supports him to make a difference in big things.
Zhang Ning spoke as usual, speaking at a faster pace but speaking clearly. If he was thinking about a problem, the pause in the middle of each sentence was a bit long, but he did not slow down his speech. But what I did, from another perspective, if I really seized the power of the world, would I really do better than Emperor Xuande in governing the country?
Yao Ji said without hesitation: I believe you can do better than him.
Zhang Ning shook his head and said: In fact, after the empire was unified, it began to stabilize. It is not important to have good governance or bad governance.The greatest significance of my attempt to raise an army to seize the power of the current court is not to have the ambition to govern the world, but to grasp the key points of civilization for thousands of years. This is the responsibility that I should not shirk from my conscience; and there are certain conditions, not sure that I cannot do it. This is not only related to the people's livelihood, but also the luck of more than ten generations of people in hundreds of years. Then I cannot shirk it, otherwise I will be in a state of peace.
Why do I say that now is the key point of civilization for thousands of years?
I don't want to belittle myself to my country, and there is no need to be arrogant...
Now in the second year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, the later century was around the early and mid-15th century. In the thousands of years before this, the development of the Han people was far ahead of all places. There was nothing wrong with the so-called upper country of the Celestial Empire; the Western Regions and Europe, and more, learned from us papermaking, printing, Sinan, gunpowder, and more. The order of their governance was not as good as ours. It can be said that all places learned from us at different times.
But from now on, the situation may have gradually reversed, and historical opportunities tend to be inclined to the West.After that, their development will be very fast, the industrial revolution will break out, and the world will be completely dominated, and they will be compensated frantically.It's nothing. Since others can learn from our things and make progress, what's wrong with us?The key here is that you cannot be separated from the overall situation in the future. As long as you have connections with the West, if the situation is bad in the future, you can at least follow others' footsteps...
Yao Ji listened silently and just asked: Is this the insight you have gained from hundreds of years later?What will the world look like in hundreds of years?
Zhang Ning smiled and said: It’s hard to describe it, but in short, the changes are very big.From now on, six hundred years ago, the late Tang Dynasty and the secular world may not be very different in terms of clothing customs, humanities and morality; but in another six hundred years, the foundation of the order on which our order depends will no longer exist, the order of thousands of years has completely changed, and Zhou Li's clothes and hats have disappeared... It is thanks to the rapid development of the West that everything must be changed.
Yao Ji didn't agree with his words, but Zhang Ning believed that she would understand it, because the mother and son had already had such conversations more than once or twice.
Zhang Ning wants to tell people what he is thinking here, but only Yao Ji is the only one who cannot understand.
In this era, except for talking about the topic of eating without sows and giving birth to a few boys, once it involves the level of great principles, the ancient sages must be used as the argument. If the principles come from the Four Books and Five Classics and other classics, it will be more appropriate, so that it will be the truth.
Isn’t it nonsense to quote the industrial revolution and the process of civilization with people?
Zhang Ning said: I don’t deny that Yu Qian is an amazing person, but his belief that may have lengthened the time and the meaning will be like that, and it may not be great.
After all, you are still young, and you are really concerned about winning or losing.Yao Ji chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm not biased, at least in my eyes, you are much better than Yu Qian."
Zhang Ning also ignored it and said: I didn’t want to raise troops and kill him from the beginning. When I entered the court, I wanted to make a difference in maritime trade. I wrote a copy of all the memorials.I think Zheng He's Western fleet should play a bigger role, rather than letting it be annihilated.
Are you talking about voyage to the West?The rumors are that "Yàn King" did something to find Jianwenjun's whereabouts, and King Yàn was afraid that Jianwenjun would flee to the sea.Yao Ji said.
Zhang Ning said: I don’t think it’s all because of this.King Yàn won the world through force. He needed to establish his prestige everywhere to prove his strength. The Western fleet was powerful and showed off his power in various places to let other countries come to court. This was a good method... But after Hong Xi and Xuande, the throne had been passed down relatively stable, and the court did not need to spend much money and food to maintain such activities.You also want to know that after Renzong, the Ming Dynasty had stopped the offensive strategy of the north and turned to defense, and it was imperative to withdraw troops from Jiaozhi in the south; of course, voyages to the West would also stop, which is almost inevitable.
According to the rules of all dynasties, now, as long as the war stops, the general trend of the world should enter the stage of "rest and recuperate". Those things that are very happy with merits will gradually fade. If King Yàn had not repaired the Forbidden City in advance, it would be very difficult to build a palace in the future.Therefore, the seemingly maritime opportunity for Zheng He's fleet to expand at sea is not accidental and there is almost no suspense unless someone is determined to interfere and make great efforts for it.
After hearing this, Yao Ji advised: You still have a lot to do, so don’t be as depressed as last time. I will help you. I believe Ping An must be an amazing person.
Zhang Ning stared at her face: If my mother wanted me to be an amazing person, I would definitely try to become that person.You are like a fairy from the sky. If I realize that I am an ordinary person, I am afraid that when I get close to you, I will feel ashamed.
I am not as good as you said... Yao Ji smiled like a flower with a rare smile.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ning said: I will go to the official office tomorrow morning and talk about the strategy of the official army and several people from the Senate Department, and let everyone think of a way to deal with it.
Yao Ji nodded and said: That's great.
There is another thing, now everything is not the time to be important, but when I think about it, I will mention it to you first.Zhang Ning said, I think it should be time for the transformation of the cult ward off.
After hearing this, Yao Ji frowned slightly, and her face showed a confused look.
Zhang Ning hurriedly said: I don’t mean to ask you to give up on warding off cults, but you should change the names and organizational methods of those people, and you can no longer appear with gods and ghosts.In order to win over a group of people as soon as possible in the early stage of our rebellion, it was a shortcut to establish a religion, but once it developed, this thing was not good for a reputation. Both scholars and most officials and the people would think that our reputation was wrong and was a bad thing and was rarely won by the hearts of the people.
Yao Ji pondered: What you said makes sense. When the time is right, I will discuss it with the escorts and the masters of the branch hall before talking.
Zhang Ning said goodbye, and it was already dark when he returned home.
Sure enough, Zhou Erniang found that the redness and swelling on his face had not completely disappeared. She was suspicious and said that she smelled a woman's smell on him.
Zhang Ning sniffed a few times on his clothes and argued that he had not. As for the redness and swelling on his face, she beat her up when she spoke rudely from her mother. Yao Ji had no choice but to serve as a shield for him without knowing it.
He said he was too tired today, so he washed his feet and wore underwear and fell asleep.
Now that Yao Ji knew about Dong's incident, she seemed to act calmly; Zhang Ning certainly would not tell others about this, Yao Ji was an exception.
She had already received some news from Chunmei, but it was impossible to confirm it, and Zhang Ning didn't want to hide it from her. She was willing to tell her the identity of later generations, but what secrets could not be told?
