Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 326: The Law Of Opposition And Unity Between Rulers And Ruling Classes [Please Subscribe, Pl

After finally listening to the respective insights of Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su.

Yan Changqing just once again wrote a big title "The Opposition and Unification of Rulers and Ruling Classes" above the rulers and ruling classes of past dynasties.

Then Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes and said:

"From the changes and development of rulers and ruling classes over the past thousands of years, we can discover a pattern, which is the pattern of opposition and unity between rulers and ruling classes!!!"

"The combination of the insights of His Highness King Yan and His Highness King Zhou is the prototype of this law.

“The so-called law of ‘opposition and unity between rulers and the ruling class’ actually refers to the sometimes antagonistic relationship between the ruler and the ruling class.

"In terms of time, the relationship between the ruler and the ruling class goes forward, the more harmonious the relationship between them is and the less conflicts there are."

"The further they go, the more antagonistic and contradictory their relationships become."

"The specific division of this time point before and after is based on the overall situation of the world being determined as the node."

"In other words, when the overall situation of the world is uncertain and the princes are in chaos and disputes, this stage is the first half of the harmonious and unified relationship between the ruler and the ruling class."

"And after the overall situation of the world has been decided, and the competition for the last king to determine the world begins, the "Seventh Five-Year Plan"|belongs to the second half of the period when the relationship between the ruler and the ruling class becomes antagonistic."

Having said this, Yan Changqing's eyes fell on King Yan Zhu Di again and asked with a smile:

"Your Highness King Yan, can you tell me why at this time when the overall situation of the world is uncertain and the princes are in chaos and disputes, the relationship between the rulers and the ruling class will be harmonious and unified?!!"

Zhu Di put away the downcast expression he had just pretended to have, put on a serious expression, and after thinking for a moment, he answered:

"Because the world is uncertain, both the ruler and the ruling class that supports him have common competitors!!!"

"How to defeat their common competitors and seize the world is the "most priority issue" for that ruler and the ruling class that supports him!!!"

"All other contradictions and problems need to be compromised for the sake of conquering the world!!!"

Yan Changqing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhou Wang Zhu Ju again and asked the same question:

"Then why after the overall situation of the world has been decided, the relationship between the ruler and the ruling class began to become antagonistic. Can His Highness the King of Zhou answer this question?!!"

King Zhu Zhu of Zhou put one hand on the table, holding his chin, looking like a salted fish who had lost his dream, and replied listlessly:

"Because they no longer have a common enemy, they start to become new enemies."

Although the answer is very short, it is undoubtedly very correct.

Yan Changqing nodded and explained further:

"Since before the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the new rulers of past dynasties were basically born out of the ruling class of the old dynasties."

"Before the overall situation of the world is uncertain, the ruler needs to rely on the support of the ruling class to help it conquer the world."

"And the ruling class also needs the ruler to give them greater benefit feedback after taking over the world.

"So at this stage, the interests between the ruler and the ruling class can be said to be consistent, that is, to seize the world!"

"Only by seizing the world can the rulers and the corresponding ruling class obtain the greatest benefits!!"

"Therefore, for the greatest benefit in the future, the rulers and the ruling class can basically agree and work together with the same moral principles!!!"

"So at this stage, the relationship between the ruler and the ruling class can be said to be very harmonious and unified."

"But after the overall situation of the world has been decided, and the rulers and the ruling class have obtained the greatest benefits, then what they have to face next is the new issue of benefit distribution["

"Faced with the new distribution of interests, the rulers and the ruling class have inconsistent ideas."

"The ruling class wants to use the rulers to continue to gain more power and benefits for their family."

"In their eyes, family comes before country, and family is more important than country!"

"The ruler may want to further expand his power and interests as the emperor from the perspective of being the emperor.'

"Or perhaps from the perspective of considering the overall situation of the country, for the better development of the country, you want to adjust the existing power interests of all parties.

"But the interests of the world are so great, and the ruling class wants to obtain more power and benefits."

"Then it will inevitably encroach on the power and interests that originally belonged to the ruler, or the power and interests of other aspects of the country."

"Similarly, if the rulers want to further expand their power interests, they will inevitably compress the power interests originally belonging to the ruling class."

Underneath, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they were all thinking intently about the relationship between the opposition and unity between the rulers and the ruling class that Yan Changqing said.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes frowning and thinking, Yan Changqing thought for a while and gave an example:

"There is a very good example, that is the Sui Dynasty which died in the second generation."

"Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty belonged to the Guanlong Group and was part of the ruling class of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"After he married the Dugu family, with the tacit approval of other ruling families, he replaced the original ruler of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and became the new ruler himself.

"At this time, his relationship with the ruling class of the aristocratic family is still harmonious and unified."

"As the ruler, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and the aristocratic families as the ruling class, they tied each other's political interests to each other.

"When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty as the ruler and the aristocratic families as the ruling class had conflicts in terms of power and interests."

"They can still reluctantly solve the problem through negotiation and compromise."

"But after Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Yang Guang wanted to completely get rid of the constraints of the powerful family on his power.

"That is, he wants to reduce the power and interests of the aristocratic families, and then expand his own power as emperor."

"As for the result, you all know that Yang Guang failed and the second generation of the Sui Dynasty died."

There is the example of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the obvious contrast between the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the aristocratic families during the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and the aristocratic families during the period of Emperor Yang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, suddenly had no doubts about the law of "opposition and unity between the ruler and the ruling class".

After a moment of silence, seeing that Yan Changqing seemed to have stopped after finishing a paragraph and had no intention of continuing to speak for the time being, King Yan Zhu Di suddenly spoke curiously and asked:

"Why did you say before that the foreign dynasty of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty founded by my father had certain special characteristics?"

Zhu Di was more interested in this issue. He wanted to know what was special about the Mongolian Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Yan Changqing took another sip of tea and moistened his throat, then looked at the interested expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.

Yan Changqing did not explain directly, but started from another question:

"We just said that since before the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the new rulers of the past dynasties were basically born out of the ruling class of the old dynasty.

"But why is this happening?!!"

Having said this, Yan Changqing paused, looked at Yan Wang Zhu Di and said:

"For example, His Highness King Yan, who is currently at the top among the ruling class, do you think if you and a beggar and a refugee start to rebel at the same time, who is most likely to succeed in the rebellion in the end?"

"Of course, except Your Majesty...

Zhu Di, who originally didn't know how to answer Yan Changqing's question, immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yan Changqing's addition of "Except Your Majesty" and answered confidently:

"Of course I am more likely to succeed in rebellion!"

Yan Changqing nodded and agreed:

"Yes, His Highness King Yan is more likely to succeed in his rebellion."

"The reason is very simple, because His Highness, King Yan, is not only in terms of his own abilities, but also in terms of vision, or in terms of knowledge and cultural level, or in terms of the resources that can be mobilized, etc."

"Stronger, wider, higher, and more than a beggar refugee!!!"

"If the probability of His Highness King Yan's rebellion being successful is seventy or eighty percent, then the probability of the beggar refugees' rebellion being successful is one in ten thousand, which is considered to be on the high side."

"This is why at the end of the dynasty, the first ones to break out in uprising are the peasants."

"But the people who finally picked, or rather stole, the fruits of victory in the peasant uprising were often people from the ruling class of the old dynasty."

"Because the peasants have limited abilities, narrow vision, poor knowledge and cultural level, and almost no resources to mobilize."

"It is almost destined that even if they can overthrow the original dynasty, they will not be able to establish a new, effective and long-lasting new dynasty on the ruins of the original dynasty."

"As the ruling class of the old dynasty, they happen to have such abilities.

"As the ruling class of the old dynasty, they can not establish a new dynasty that is superior to the old dynasty.

"But at least they can look at the old dynasty and build a new dynasty that is almost similar to the old dynasty.

"This is also the reason why the ruling class of the old dynasty often gives birth to the rulers of the new dynasty."

After listening to Yan Changqing's explanation, both Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all had mixed emotions.

During this period, they had not forgotten their origins. At least Zhu Yuanzhang had not forgotten his origins as a beggar and a refugee, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes did not regard their father as a beggar and a refugee. shame.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they still have half a foot on the side of the common people.

Therefore, when they heard that the ruling class of the old dynasty had harvested, or rather stolen, the fruits of the peasant uprising, they felt angry and dissatisfied.

But now they are members of the rulers and the ruling class!!!

If the Ming Dynasty collapses one day in the future, their descendants will become members of the ruling class.

Then it is also very likely that the ruling class in the past dynasties will steal the fruits of victory of the peasant uprising and become the new ruler and ruling class again.

From this point of view, although they feel ashamed, they are also happy and hope to see such a thing happen to their descendants as the ruling class.

Therefore, the emotions of anger, dissatisfaction, shame and joy were intertwined, forming the complex and unspeakable emotions of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.
