Chapter 956: The King's World
"What? you said that prince is the royal family of the Jin Kingdom?" Yue'er looked at the prince of the Jin Kingdom who was wearing brocade clothes and asked in surprise.
"Well, the etiquette system of the Jin Kingdom stipulates that when the king is seated, his subordinates are not allowed to be in the same column as the king, and they cannot drink alcohol against the king, otherwise, it will be regarded as a great disrespect. Wuxian explained to Yue'er.
Yue'er carefully observed those visitors from the Jin Kingdom, and sure enough, they sat in the position of the son's hand, every time they drank, they would stagger the direction, cover their faces with their sleeves, and dare not drink with the son, even when Feng Bo toasted, he deliberately staggered a little, which seemed extremely respectful.
"Brother Wuyan, if that prince is from the Jin royal family, why would he go to great lengths to come to our Fenghua Villa? Looking at their appearance, they seem to be very embarrassed. Yue'er asked strangely.
Among the princes, the Jin State belongs to the superpowers, even if the Great Xia Kingdom plus the next three kingdoms are not as strong as the Jin State, among the princes, the Jin State is like a hegemon, why is the royal family of the Jin State so embarrassed?
"Maybe something unknown happened, right? Although the Jin Kingdom is large, there are many royal family fights, and there are even cases of monarchs being killed by retainers, so it is a very dangerous thing to be the king of the Jin Kingdom. Wuxian said to Yue'er.
"Ahh Yue'er said worriedly.
"In short, this is an era of bad etiquette and happy collapse, the monarch is not the king, the minister is not the minister, all the rules are gone, all the etiquette is chaotic, the countries are fighting each other, the monarch and the minister are fighting each other, and in the end it is the people of the world who suffer. Wuxian said, sighing helplessly.
"Yes, no matter whether the country is prosperous or not, it is the people who live at the bottom who suffer. Yue'er said with a lot of understanding.
"Huh, the country is prosperous, how can the people suffer?" asked Wu Xian strangely.
When there is no external trouble, there will be internal worries, and the corrupt officials will be corrupt and pervert the law in order to pursue power and profit, ignoring the interests of the people, and the people will dare to be angry but dare not speak, and they will be invited to drink tea if they are not careful, and the monarch will raise the price of housing in order to maintain the stability of the country and raise the housing prices, so that the common people will not be able to afford a house for the rest of their lives, and will always be tightly bound to the land by sky-high houses, and be willing to be house slaves.
Regardless of the prosperous times or the troubled times, the people are like cattle, driven by others, when, when the laborers have their land, and the capable have their place, the world will be really peaceful. Yue'er said to Wuxian.
Wuxian listened to Yue'er's words, and thought about it carefully, it is true, when there is no external trouble, people will easily give birth to happiness, and if they are happy for a long time, they will slack, and their greed will swell, if the king is greedy, the ministers will be more greedy, the ministers will be more greedy, and the scholars will follow suit, and in the end, it is the common people who live at the bottom who suffer after all.
This seems to be an unsolvable situation, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, as long as the king is there, this is an unsolvable dead end.
"Wouldn't it be great if one day, when there was no king in the world, and all the people could elect the most virtuous person in the world as their leader, and then appoint a group of honest officials to lead everyone to get rich together?" Yue'er said looking at the night sky with a wistful look in her eyes.
"Yue'er, the country can't be left without an owner for a day, if there is no king in the world, won't the world be in chaos?" asked in surprise.
"Do princes and princes have a kind of Xiangning? Should those kings be born to be kings? There are so many mediocre kings in history who have destroyed the good country, and there are so many heroes and heroes in history who are buried in the countryside.
If virtuous people can be the leaders, and the heroes of the world can assist them wholeheartedly, shouldn't that country be stronger?
If just because the king is a nobleman, he can enjoy privileges for generations, but the virtuous people in the world are buried because they have no noble blood, how can such a country be truly enlightened?" Yue'er asked, looking at Wu Xian.
Wu Wu thought about it carefully, he was speechless, for thousands of years, it was the king who ruled the world, and now Yue'er actually said that the world can be without a king, this is really a shocking idea, as shocking as a landslide.
"However, for thousands of years, it was the Son of Heaven who ruled the world, and the kings served the Son of Heaven. Wuxian said, a cold sweat broke out on his spine.
"In ancient times, human beings drank blood, and there was no king, didn't the people at that time live the same happy life? In nature, rabbits and deer also have no kings, and they don't live happily in this world? Why do you have to have a king to survive?" Yue'er looked at Wuxian and asked.
"Yue'er, I'm not questioning your thoughts, I just think that today, the kings rule the world, if you want to make the kings abdicate and make way for the virtuous, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it, each of these monarchs is a title and territory inherited from their ancestors, how can they give it up easily?
If you want the world to be ownerless, I am afraid that as soon as you shout the slogan, you will be regarded as a public enemy by the world, and it is impossible to succeed. Wuxian said to Yue'er.
"Well, I know, so, that's just an ideal in my heart, if there is a wise monarch in the future, who can rule the world, I can eliminate the king of the world and realize a democratic republic. Yue'er said with a smile.
"Unify the world? I'm afraid no one can do it, even if the martial king of the year was just a formal unification of the world, although the king of Zhou was enshrined as the co-lord of the world, but it is not the same as the name only?
Nowadays, how many kings can really obey the orders of King Zhou?
Not to mention the major powers in the world today, even if they are small countries, they are also half-hearted, and it is really difficult to unify the world. Wuxian shook his head and said regretfully.
"Brother Wuxian, if you become the king of the world in the future, are you willing to abdicate and make way for Xian?" Yue'er asked as she looked at Wuxian.
"I—how can I become the king of the world?" Wuxian was startled, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I mean, if, if Brother Wuxian really did it, would you abdicate and make way for Xian?" Yue'er asked, looking at Wuxian.
"This—" Wuxian hesitated, it was really a difficult question to answer.
The education he received since he was a child is that the Son of Heaven is in charge of the kings, the kings are in charge of the doctors, and the doctors are in charge of the people, as long as the layers of management are in place, the world will be peaceful.
Because before that, there was no precedent at all, in the Warring States Period, even if one country destroyed another, it would not be swallowed up completely, at most after plundering some wealth and beauties, it would return to the country, and the destroyed country would be returned to the royal family or nobles of the destroyed country, and there were few real annexations.
