Chapter 136: The Root Cause

"Did you understand what I just said?" Su Jibei closed the map and looked at the thoughtful Manguangzhi.

"Peking University people......" Man Guangzhi thought for a while, "This ......"

"Are you still worried about the reaction from above?"

Man Guangzhi nodded and replied bluntly: "To tell you the truth, not only me, but the entire cadre level of our army is guessing, where are you?"

Su Jibei laughed: "Yes, yes, in today's world, the government is divided into three parts, but whoever eats this mouthful of imperial food, in the three families of Xie Minggu, you have to stand in line, right?" I am a young man, and when I first arrived, I frustrated the hands of the Xie family when I came up, and deposed the people of the Gu family, and I seem to have a good relationship with the Ming family......"

"I'm a rectum, I'll tell you the truth. I don't care, anyway, I have already offended the people above, it is not promoted by the people of Peking University, this artillery regiment will not work for a few years and plan to go home to pick up the child, but there are still many people below who are counting on going up, if you do it this time with a real knife and guns, and don't save face for the Xie Party, they will have to weigh it in their hearts...... So ......"

Su Jibei was not annoyed, he knew that these people were used to watching and eating, and no one wanted to offend, after all, if they stood in the wrong line once, it would be difficult to get up.

"I have a question for you too. Su Jibei looked at Man Guangzhi, his eyes were very subtle.

"Why does the Xie Party have so much power?"

Man Guangzhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Because he is the prime minister?"

Su Jibei smiled: "If you are replaced as the prime minister now, will your power be as great as his?"

Man Guangzhi touched his head and smiled: "Don't sell the people of Peking University, I'm a rough man and haven't read much." ”

Su Jibei said: "In the empire - whether it is the prime minister, the minister, or the cloth, all power belongs to the imperial power!"

"Why is the imperial power the most powerful? Is it really just because he wears a dragon robe? because he has military power and secret services? Of course, it's not just that. The reason why the emperor's orders were able to be taken alive and died was because everyone feared the emperor on the one hand, and relied on the emperor on the other. ”

"Imperial power is the starting point of all logic in this system. As long as you accept this logic and throw yourself into it, you can't resist it. The emperor seems to be sitting on the four seas, but in fact he is alone. If the whole world belongs to the emperor, then only the emperor in the world is doing things for himself, and everyone else is just doing a job, who will really care about the country and the governance of the country?"

"Therefore, if the emperor wants people to do things for him, how can he not give the people who do the work a little benefit? And these benefits will be subcontracted from the cabinet to the provinces and cities to the counties and townships, and finally the bureaucracy woven by layers of nets will inevitably end up in a big way. The emperor will one day find that the benefits are not enough, and the ministers will begin to grab their share openly and secretly, and this is the starting point of the struggle. ”

"Since the Han Dynasty, China has mostly adopted the internal Confucianism and external law of governance. The so-called internal Confucianism is based on the Confucian concept of attaching importance to people, people-oriented, rational distribution of interests, and harmony of moderation. The so-called external is the external realization, the establishment of a political structure with the concept of Legalism, and the governance of the country with the concept of the rule of law. ”

And when you open the legal books of all dynasties, you can find that they all wear a hat of benevolent ethics at the beginning. The result of this is, on the one hand, to leave a way out for the ruler to shield and indulge his own people, and to provide a convenient door for the extension of the law to every social cell. ”

"As long as they are unwilling to punish them, the emperor or the magistrates can easily give them a chance to reform in the name of virtue, and in doing so, not only will they not be responsible for perverting the law, but they will show the generosity and compassion of the ruler. ”

And when the dissident appears, they can magnify someone's punishment into the punishment of the whole family, and the clan fails to implement the rituals well, so that this scum is produced, so the torture such as exterminating the nine clans and even the seat can be used in a grand manner, and the whole family is executed in this way. This combination of Confucianism and law extends to every cell and organization of society, wearing the clothes of Legalism, implementing the rule of man, and continuing to this day. ”

Man Guangzhi nodded as if he didn't understand.

"The whole world knows that Xie Jingzhi is a traitor, and his friends are traitors, doesn't the emperor know? He must know, and he must also know, because for the emperor, whether it is Xie Jingzhi, the Ming family, or the Gu family, his needs for these families and magnates are greater than the fairness and justice required by the rule of law. ”

In other words, there are only two ways to change the present world, one is to create new people who are more powerful than them and more needed by the imperial power. ”

"There is another kind of-" Su Jibei's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Solve this problem that has been ingrained for thousands of years from the root-"

Mitsukizhi gasped.

"Subverting the imperial powerβ€”

"Old Man, how is it, what did he talk to you about?" Ming Qishao watched Man Guangzhi come out, and immediately went over to talk.

Man Guangzhi just glanced at him with complicated eyes and walked straight over.

Only then did Ming Qishao find that in this air-conditioned carriage, his back was all sweaty at some point.

A few hours later, the train finally reached the finish line.

Su Jibei poked his head out, looked at the endless prairie in the distance, and showed an expectant smile.

"All personnel, materials, and equipment are all out of the car!

"Please go to the sand table hall to assemble!"

"Brother Bei, what are you doing over there!Go to the sand table hall!" Ming Qishao wanted to hold Su Jibei.

Only then did he find out that Su Jibei didn't know when he had changed into a private's training uniform again, fully armed and neatly dressed.

"You officers go to a meeting, what does it have to do with me, I'll go back to my combat squad. Su Jibei laughed and was about to leave.

"It's not...... Isn't it supposed to be commanded by you......" Ming Qishao grabbed him and didn't let him go.

"It's okay, I've arranged everything, you just need to cooperate with Lao Man. Su Jibei suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Fight hard." ”

Leaving Ming Qishao confused, he stood in place and watched Su Jibei run away.
