Chapter 606: Disintegrate the clan and encourage individuals to break free from the shackles of the clan

A great man who truly dares to contribute to the country and the nation's destiny must have the courage to do things that people in the world dare not do.

For example, when the country needs to change an emperor, you must dare to change it.

When the country needs to sacrifice its own life, you must dare to sacrifice it.

Now Liu Hongxun also has to be such a person, betray his clan and completely cut off relations with his clan.

"The Liu family is over! The chief assistant is about to be released!"

"As a matter of fact, it is still difficult to fight a powerful person like the Prime Minister. He still has to rely on his own people to do evil!"

"I deserve it! This man named Liu is a man who has a grudge against us meat eaters. With him, the powerful and literati and officials in the world will not have a peaceful life."

"If the eldest son of the emperor has lost such an aristocratic support, he will probably not be able to win the favor so easily."

"This is a good thing. There are not many crazy people like Liu Hongxun who require officials and titles in the world to live like saints. In the future, the chief minister will not be widely publicized for the sake of his family's evil, and will know the importance of it."

At this time, the Liu family's affairs began to spread throughout the capital and even the whole world.

People who were dissatisfied with the current situation also became restless, believing that according to the emperor's previous temper of killing the powerful and nobles who did evil, the chief assistant Liu Hongxun could not escape any of it.

Some people have even begun to show kindness to Zhu Xieyuan.

Zhu Xieyuan's home is already crowded.

However, Zhu Xieyuan himself kept his door closed and refused to see guests. He knew that the more he was at this time, the more calm he would have to be.

"I have written many times to you. You should regain your etiquette, be friendly and friendly, and be good at your family, and do not do evil in your hometown... But you are the elders of the clan. You are even more unable to set an example, indulge your children and grandchildren to bully good, resist etiquette and law, and even behold the ruler! I am very sad! My Liu family should be seriously affected to be a clan that I can be aware of the world! And I have such a clan, and I am deeply ashamed of me! Therefore, I decided not to be a member of the Liu family from now on, and to eliminate the clan by myself. In the future, Your Majesty will kill the Liu family..."

However, Liu Hong scolded his clan as a bad village and informed the world that he would cut off relations with him and eliminate his clans. At this time, the news of his clan gradually spread through various newspapers.

All the people in the world are naturally very shocked by this.

Especially the powerful and literati and officials who were looking forward to Liu Hongxun’s resignation.

They did not expect that Liu Hongxun would take the initiative to cut off relations with his clan.

"Since ancient times, I have only heard of individuals who were expelled from the clan, but I have never heard of anyone who could be expelled from the clan!"

Wang Zhen, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, complained to his friend Liang Qingkuan in depressed moment.

"Clan is the family! Where the parents are located! Betrayal of the clan is to betray their parents, which is very unfilial. Didn't Liu Changshan always ask the scholars and officials to abide by the way of saints? Why did he violate filial piety by himself first!"

Liang Qingkuan also said excitedly.

"This, this, this is really unheard of! How can the clan betrayed?!"

The great Hanlin scholar Fu Yijian also started to scream in pain.

After the Seventh Prince Zhu Cihui learned the news, he angrily slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table: "What a shameless thing! How could he do Liu Changshan!"

"The problem now is that I don't know if His Majesty will admit that his betrayal of his clan is effective and allow him to continue to take charge of the center."

Chen Wei, a strategist who came back to Zhu Cihui, said.

...

"Acknowledge it, why don't you? I wish everyone in the world can betray the clan for the interests of the country and nation!"

"What a good Liu Hongxun. I didn't expect that he, a moral gentleman, would do such a thing. This is what he did the most satisfying thing for me."

After Zhu Youxiao learned that Liu Hongxun took the initiative to cut off relations with the Liu clan, he was in a good mood and immediately told Wen Tiren and Lu Xiangsheng.

"I didn't expect that Yuan Fu was a death of his relatives for justice! It's respectable."

Wen Tiren replied with a smile.

Lu Xiangsheng said, "This may not be Yuan Fu's own idea, maybe it was the eldest son who asked him to do this!

I remember that during the time when the eldest son of the emperor was the county magistrate in Haining, he once said that the Jiangnan area had great influence, which caused the imperial court to rely on these large clans, and it also made it difficult for individual clans to escape the fate of being controlled by the clans, and could not choose their own profession and marriage!

Therefore, the eldest son of the emperor suggested that the Jiangnan clans be divided and the Jiangnan clans be moved in different places, encouraging individuals to get rid of the shackles of the clans and decide their own destiny. The reason was that the Ming Dynasty now needed more young people to create new careers, rather than being bound by the clans, and continuing to only engage in the imperial examinations. I believe that Yuan Fu was influenced by the eldest son of the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Well, I remember that he had been to this book. He was a big family with the same surname and moved to another place, which is beneficial to the country and the country. The industrialized Ming Dynasty also needs to dismantle clan forces and give individuals more freedom to meet the needs of civilization development. Clans only have meaning in traditional farming society. For the Ming Dynasty in the industrial society, if it really wants to promote large-scale employees' shareholding factories in the future, it is necessary to avoid turning factories into nepotism because of clan relations! My son, after going to the place to experience it, he still makes progress."

"Your Majesty, as stated, the court should allow individuals to leave their clans, and the court should not implicate the things committed by other clans on this person, which will surely help the collapse of the world's great clans."

Wen Tiren replied.

"That's right! I issued an edict to the eldest son of the emperor, asking him to order his ministers to entrust his edict to the world. Anyone who declares his separation from the clan will be relieved or no longer be implicated based on the review situation in the future."

Zhu Youxiao said.

At this point, the justice of the Ming Dynasty entered a new era.

That is, if a clan commits a serious crime, he or she will not be implicated.

But the premise is that you have to cut off relations with the clan.

This can also be regarded as a judicial change made by Zhu Youxiao in accordance with the needs of the development of the times.

In the past, as long as the matter involved a serious crime, it would be implicated, but the number of implicated tribes was different.

This is also impossible. Who made the ancient farming society live in the form of clans as the basic unit?

But at present, with the development of industry in the Ming Dynasty, the basic units of society have changed.

Or in other words, people no longer need to live as a basic social unit in the form of a clan.

Workers and other urban citizens can even live in a small family or even individuals as their basic units.

In rural areas, because the functions of government officials have increased, such as water conservancy construction, highway construction, and the gentry who have fame and fame in the clan have no tax exemption privileges, and there is no need to contribute, and the road leasing system has been abolished and the mobility of farmers has increased, so the existence of the clan is not as important as before.
