Most usurpers have done something, and Judy is one of them. My little nephew, Zhu Yunwen, attacked the vassals. He took the initiative to fight back and usurped the throne in the name of "Jingnan". After 22 years in office, he moved the capital to Beijing, led the army northward, extending in all directions, and spread the tentacles of the Ming empire all over Nansha, Cave Wild and Southwest Border. "There are almost 30 countries that pay tribute to North Korea. The width of meteorites is far from that of Han and Tang Dynasties. Success is heroic and prosperous. " After Judy, the Ming Dynasty was second to none.
A usurper violated the laws made by the former emperor, and he was morally condemned. But it is such a "treacherous" person who can reverse the pro-Japanese situation and move towards a new era of national prosperity, people's prosperity, political stability and cultural prosperity, which has to be admired. This paper borrows Machiavelli's exposition in The Prince to discuss Judy's two points of politics.
First: "If necessary, the monarch should abandon traditional morality at any time". Judy is most like Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to be Chu Jun, he was afraid of chaos. Prince Zhu Biao is a "benevolent man", but a good man has no good life. He died before he ascended the throne, so he had to hand over the country to Zhu Yunwen, who was still a child. Traditionally, talents and talents are ruthless, and benevolence and softness can, but they must be guided by the situation. Benevolence and softness have always embarrassed the monarch. Zhu Yunwen is just too soft-hearted, and it is impossible to cut off the governors, but it intensifies the contradictions. "A shrewd monarch never lacks a legitimate reason to make his treachery look grandiose", telling lies without blushing, and reasoning from the inside out is what Judy looks like his father most. If the king was not thick and dark, he might not be able to play.
Second: "The monarch must fight like a man and a beast". Kindness and cruelty would not apply to the same person, but Judy has them at the same time. He has complete control in the army, and his voice is very high and humorous, which makes people feel like an uncle next door. He also helps subordinates when they are in trouble. Judy is good at dancing with long sleeves, focusing on small things, pretending and establishing a good image of kindness and kindness. After taking office, the cruelty to remonstrators and opponents was outrageous. He looked like his father when he killed innocent loyal subjects, because for Judy, the standard of a person's quality lies not in moral conduct, but in his position. "People would rather disappoint the people they love than violate a person who is afraid". In his eyes, kindness is just a means, and other people's lives are just cards in their hands, which can be discarded as needed and fearless. Radish is interest, stick is violence, interest leads the way, and violence ensures that it will not deviate from its own direction, which may be the foothold to explain the split personality of the monarch.
As a monarch, Judy is successful. Although it is contrary to Laozi's thought of "helping others, not strengthening the world with soldiers", as far as his usurper's identity is concerned, what he did seems to be a last resort. Therefore, for the monarch, Tao is of course important and art is indispensable.
