Hearing Zhang Yu say this, Han Yu frowned.
The reason is very simple. Even though Your Majesty is using Xunzi's theory now, it is not necessarily true that Your Majesty likes Xunzi's theory.
Because there is a hurdle that Xunzi's theory cannot get around. That is, according to Xunzi's theory, all beings are equal and no one cares about fate.
This led to the idea that the emperor was just a title, no different from everyone else, and that there was no such thing as the Son of Heaven, let alone the Mandate of Heaven. Since everyone was no different, I had reason to rebel.
Under such circumstances, this idea cannot be liked by Your Majesty, and no emperor would like such a statement.
This is the most crucial point why Xunzi's theory is not recognized.
If this problem is not solved, then Xunzi's doctrine will never be included in the list of those supported by the emperor.
Han Yu looked at Zhang Yu and asked with a smile, "Where is the emperor?"
Although his question was short, it hit the nail on the head.
If you do this, where will you put the emperor?
Now everyone says that the emperor is the son of God, sent by God to rule you.
Heaven created the people and created the emperor to lead them.
Who is the emperor?
Only those with great luck and great merit for the people can become the Son of Heaven. The luck of the Son of Heaven comes from his great merit for the people.
Our Ming Dynasty Emperor Taizu, a commoner from Huaixi, drove out the Tartars, restored China, pacified the world, and put an end to the chaos. This was the achievement that established his rule over the world. With such merits, he naturally gained good fortune and was naturally worthy of becoming the Son of Heaven.
The righteousness of our Great Ming's ascension to the throne is unprecedented in history. Our Great Ming Emperor, the Holy Son of Heaven, receives the Mandate of Heaven and extends His grace and kindness to the world. Millions of people have benefited from the grace of our Great Ming Emperor. Therefore, our Great Ming Emperor is naturally the Son of Heaven.
Han Yu glanced at Zhang Yu and felt that he had underestimated him.
This shameless attitude always makes me feel like a strategist.
This was not the first time Han Yu had heard of this theory. When Chen Kedao had given a lecture before, it had caused a huge uproar and had subsequently stirred up countless storms.
However, no one has brought up Chen Kedao's theory for a long time. I guess everyone thinks it is just a piece of nonsense uttered by a heretic and no one takes it seriously.
Who would have thought that this guy named Zhang Yu would pick it up again and even modify it.
What is highlighted everywhere is that our Great Ming Emperor Taizu ascended the throne in a legitimate way, and that our Great Ming Emperor Taizu drove out the Tartars and restored China.
Anyway, no one can compare to me, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, so my Ming Dynasty should be the destiny.
Han Yu was very clear that this theory was easy to accept.
Because in this era, the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues were very normal. A son should not criticize his father's faults, and it was not excessive for a son to brag about his ancestors.
On the contrary, it would be wrong if you didn't brag about it. You should be proud of your own ancestors. So, isn't it abnormal for Your Majesty to be proud of Emperor Taizu?
It's just too normal.
According to Zhang Yu's suggestion, the Taizu Emperor of our Ming Dynasty far surpassed the Tang and Song Emperors, and was simply the greatest emperor in the world.
Is it okay to say that?
Han Yu thought there was nothing wrong with it. "I, the Ming Taizu Emperor, was just like that. I was pragmatic and focused on getting things done."
