244. Feudal

After Ren Xiaoyao left, he wandered in the garden of the floating palace, walking aimlessly, walking, walking, walking without knowing what to leave the range of the floating palace, and found that he was lost, and he didn't know where to go at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The buildings in the palace are much the same, and Ren Xiaoyao can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest at all.

At this moment, four old men in official uniforms came over, and without saying much, Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward to ask for directions, and said, "May I ask everyone, can you take me to the Floating Palace, I don't know the way." ”

The four old men looked at each other with an unbelievable smile, and one of them, the old man, asked, "Are you?" ”

"In the next office!"

Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's name, the four old men laughed even more weirdly, and the other old man asked, "Ren Gongzi, right?" We have important things to do, and we can't take you there, but we can show you how to get there. ”

Ren Xiaoyao blinked when he heard this, and smiled, "Then it's troublesome for a few old men!" ”

"No trouble, no trouble, you go straight to this passage, turn left after three gates and then take three gates, you can find the floating palace!"

Ren Xiaoyao, who knew how to go back to the floating palace, nodded, signaling that he understood, and walked towards what the old man said without saying much.

When Ren Yao walked far enough, the three old men stared at the old man who spoke last, laughed, and said:

"Third child, you are also insidious, you mean Concubine Gui Cao's Lotus Palace, right? The emperor loves her the most! ”

"I'm afraid that Ren Xiaoyao won't be able to succeed in this marriage, Concubine Gui Cao gets up at this hour every day, she has to familiarize herself with it, and then personally send it to the emperor early, if Ren Xiaoyao breaks it..."

"Hahaha, I said that the third brother is the ancestor of the Yin people, and the Lotus Palace is the two palaces that are most similar to the floating palace in the palace, let me get around..."

The old man who pointed out Ren Xiaoyao's walking route looked at the direction Ren Xiaoyao was walking, and smiled disdainfully: "It's not that I'm vicious, but that Ren Xiaoyao is too stupid." ”

"Hahaha!" The three old men burst out laughing.

However, they didn't know that even if Ren Xiaoyao walked far enough, he could still hear their conversation, not to mention that Ren Xiaoyao had always disliked unilateral trust, although eunuchs and palace maids rarely walked around in the palace, it was very normal to meet eunuchs and palace maids.

.....

.....

In the garden of the Lotus Palace, Ren Xiaoyao and a woman are talking and laughing, the woman's eyes are like water, but with the coldness of talking, it seems to be able to see through everything, ten fingers are slender, the skin is like clotted fat, the snow white is pink, it seems to be able to wring out the water, a pair of red lips, smiling like a smile, every move seems to be dancing, long hair hangs straight down the ankles, untie the hair, green silk dances with the wind, emitting fragrance, can attract butterflies, slender waist, slender limbs, and a fairy-like temperament.

Wearing a white dress, rusty butterfly dark lines, a green silk with butterfly tassels shallowly raised, a butterfly carved from a night of pearl on the forehead, exuding a faint light, Emei lightly swept, the face is not powdered, but still can't hide the stunning face, a crystal necklace around the neck, more and more clear collarbones, the white jade bracelet on the wrist is lined with snow skin, a pair of gilt shoes on the feet are decorated with gemstones, beautiful eyes flow, gently stepping into the purple bamboo forest, the corners of the skirt are flying, like a pale butterfly that has lost its breath in the dark, with an indifferent expression, Like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, the corners of his mouth hook up a smile, like fireworks as ethereal and gorgeous, and the sound is like heaven, but like floating in the clouds, ethereal and ethereal. Walking slowly to the lavender, stroking slightly, gently closing his eyes to feel the beauty of the world.

"Ren Gongzi is really joking, what in this world is more precious than time!" The woman covered her mouth and smiled.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly when he heard this, and was silent.

At this moment, there was a message "The emperor has arrived!" The woman hurriedly got up and prepared to greet the holy driver!

After a while, Baili Tianheng moved the crowd into the garden with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and when he saw Ren Xiaoyao, his whole face turned black.

"Concubine Gui Cao, the emperor is back, I will retire first!" At this time, Ren Xiaoyao stood up and said to the woman. After saying that, he didn't even look at it, and left the Lotus Palace directly.

.....

.....

"Aifei, why did he come to your Lotus Palace?" After Ren Yao left, Baili Tianheng asked with a straight face.

Concubine Gui Cao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Is the emperor angry or jealous?" ”

"You! Did you prepare your own osmanthus cake for me today? Seeing Concubine Gui Cao's smiling expression, Baili Tianheng lost his temper.

Concubine Gui Cao was born in poverty, and she was a country woman he met many years ago when he was not the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom, and she was seriously injured at that time, and she happened to walk to the village of Concubine Gui Cao, and it was Concubine Gui Cao who sacrificed her life to save him.

Over the years, although Concubine Gui Cao has changed a lot, but it is only a change in appearance, and her heart has not changed at all, every time Baili Tianheng is angry and asks her with a straight face or a black face, he will ask him with a smile and what he said just now.

He very much believed that Concubine Gui Cao would not be out of line, because so far, Concubine Gui Cao was just a little woman, and in the entire palace, he was the only one who could rely on him.

"Isn't the emperor curious about what I did and said to Gongzi Ren?" Concubine Gui Cao answered the question, staring at Baili Tianheng with a smile, not looking like a concubine at all.

Baili Tianheng was stunned when he heard this, women like to answer what they asked, especially in Gui Caofei, it is more obvious that every time she speaks, she does not say it directly, but asks others, and asks others to take the initiative to ask her, if she doesn't ask, then she will lose her temper and implement the trick of "one crying, two troubles, and three hangings"!

"It seems that I can't tell what you and Ren Xiaoyao said, you won't let me enter your palace, let's listen, why does that kid make you so happy!" Baili Tianheng sighed.

Concubine Gui Cao smiled sweetly, clinged to Baili Tianheng's chest, and said, "Just now, Ren Gongzi told a story about why he entered my palace, and he just wanted to ask my opinion." ”

Tale? Opinion?

The two are not right, and there is no connection to hear Baili Tianheng was confused, how could this story be involved in opinions, which made him very curious.

"The emperor can't guess it, Ren Gongzi said that after leaving the floating palace earlier, he met four old men, because he didn't remember the way back to the floating palace, so he asked the four old men for directions, but I didn't expect them to point to my palace, and then Ren Gongzi said that he didn't know if the four old men were old and confused, or sick..."

"So Ren Xiaoyao asked you, what should you do with those four old men?"

"That's it!"

Baili Tianheng's brows were furrowed, and his mind kept echoing every face that could go up to face the Holy Official, and said strangely: "What does this have to do with you being happy?" ”

"Didn't you say that the old men in the household department, the officials department, the rite department and the ministry of work were confused, so Ren Gongzi said, just send you a big gift, let me think of the emperor's list." Concubine Gui Cao pursed her lips and smiled.

She knew that her family background could not be shared by Baili Tianheng, and now she was happier than anything else to be able to help Baili Tianheng.

Baili Tianheng looked at the beauty in his arms, sighed, and said in his heart: Ten years is like a day, and it is still so simple.

Floating Palace!

"Xiaoyao boy, where have you been, the emperor can't wait for you, he has already left!" Bai Rongquan saw Ren Xiaoyao who had just walked back, so he chattered.

Ren Xiaoyao ignored what Bai Rongquan said and asked, "Do you know any bad habits of the old men in the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Bai Rongquan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why, he thought that Ren Xiaoyao was going to entertain a few old men, and said strangely: "What do you want to know about this?" Haven't you always disliked getting along with officials? ”

"I met four old men just now, because I didn't know the way back to the Floating Palace, so I asked them, but they pointed out a "bright road" for me to go, and I went to the Lotus Palace. ”

"Bright Avenue? Isn't that good... What did you say? Lotus Palace? So, huh, why are you okay? Bai Rongquan was taken aback.

Although Bai Rongquan has been in Four Seasons County for a long time, for the sake of this wedding, he specially learned about the officials in the capital, as well as the concubines, princesses, and princes in the palace.

Now let Ren Xiaoyao say that the old men of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry want to kill Ren Xiaoyao!

"You want to deal with them?" Thinking about why Ren Xiaoyao suddenly asked the four books, Bai Rongquan affirmed.

Ren Xiaoyao shrugged, did not deny it, and said indifferently: "This is a gift from me to your emperor, if you ask him which list later, he will naturally know what is going on." ”

Bai Rong didn't know whether it was clear or not, but he still nodded, some things are still unknown!

"By the way, you can make the decision for me, you should know my character, if you don't dare to call the shots, you can go out of the palace and ask me!" Suddenly, Ren Xiaoyao said.

Bai Rongquan was really stunned now, when he was his father? Hurriedly asked, "You want to leave the palace?" ”

"What do you say? Stay in the palace as a footless bird, do you think I'll stay here? Ren Xiaoyao asked rhetorically, and after speaking, he wandered around alone.

.....

.....

After a month of time, Ren Xiaoyao dealt with the four old men, and left the capital with the welcoming team.

Looking back on what he has done in the past month, Ren Xiaoyao is really a little tired of this kind of life, and can't help but think of an article he read before.

Essay:

Monarchy centralization, the monarch is always supreme and sacrosanct. Ming, the world is peaceful; If you are violent, the people will not be able to make a living.

The imperial examination system has its drawbacks, and the college entrance examination, which is still in use today, still reflects the test-taking tradition of thousands of years ago.

Human rights are not guaranteed, people are divided into high and low, and most ordinary people cannot enjoy the right to marry and love freely. The poor are not well educated and work all their lives to death, while the rich and noble pursue fame and fortune at the expense of others – there is no specific legal constraint, and the powerful are allowed to do whatever they want.

The feudal dynasty implements the monarch system, the monarch position is hereditary, has supreme power, and realizes the **** rule of the whole country by regulating the central government and local administrative institutions.

Because of this, not only is there a constant struggle for the throne within the imperial family, but also powerful ministers, military generals, and relatives are also trying their best to covet the throne and realize the change of dynasty.

The incompatibility or asymmetry between the ability of the monarch and the unlimited power he possesses, and the contradictory movement of the two forces within the **** system - the opposition and unity movement between the strengthening power of the monarchy and the power of restraint and regulation, is the realistic manifestation of this internal basic contradiction.

It is precisely under the effect of this contradictory movement that the monarchical **** system has formed a certain self-regulation mechanism, weakened its narrowness, closedness and irrational factors, reduced and slowed down the frequency of political turmoil and the speed of political decay, so that it can play a basic role in coordinating the interests of the ruling class and maintaining the ruling order.

However, although this movement of internal contradictions is the starting point of our thinking about the monarchy, it is not an isolated and spontaneous process of self-circulation, it is essentially a specific form of sharing and coordinating the interests of the ruling class, and its deep dynamic mechanism should also be attributed to the antagonistic and unified movement between the social superstructure and the economic base.

and the requirements of "justice" and "public opinion", the monarchy **** system has developed a certain adjustment mechanism, formed an internal contradiction movement, improved the overall effectiveness of the rule, and its profound social driving force and ultimate goal is also to realize the overall interests of the ruling class.

On the contrary, if the internal adjustment mechanism of the monarchical system is completely dysfunctional, if the basic balance between the opposing sides within the system is completely destroyed, it means that a certain regime can no longer represent the overall interests of the ruling class, and is on the verge of collapse because it cannot obtain the minimum support.

It can be seen that this contradictory movement within the monarchical **** system is just a form of sharing the ruling power and interests between the emperor and the entire landlord class, and its essence lies in maintaining the general balance between the individual interests and the overall interests in the ruling group, and maximizing the overall interests of the ruling class.

From the point of view of social roots, this contradictory movement is actually a reflection of the antagonistic and unified relationship between the feudal socio-economic base and the superstructure.

The feudal **** system must obey and reflect the requirements of the feudal economic base, but there are some contradictions or local inadaptability (mainly manifested in the "asymmetry" of the monarch's ability and its power), and objectively need a mechanism to adjust the contradictions between the two, so as to better play its function of maintaining feudal production relations, which is manifested in the operation of the monarchical **** system, which will inevitably form a mechanism for the regulation, correction and compensation of the monarchy, resulting in the opposition and unity of the two forces.

Of course, it should also be noted that this self-regulation function is only the result of natural generation and evolution in the operation of the monarchy **** system, not the result of the monarch's active choice as the supreme ruler, so the degree of its "institutionalization" is not high after all, it can only play a role under certain conditions and certain limits, and it is often accompanied by a high "friction cost", such as fierce conflicts within the ruling group, etc., and cannot fundamentally overcome its inherent internal contradictions.

"Xiaoyao boy, are you still thinking about the four Shangshu?"

Coming back to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao heard Bai Rongquan's words, smiled, and said, "General Bai, if you know that there is another world, where there is relative fairness and freedom, I don't know if you will leave this sky and where to go?" ”

"How can there be another world, don't be stupid, and like you say, it's absolutely impossible..."

Ren Xiaoyao sighed, desperately wanting to return to the earth where he gave birth and cultivated himself, and said to himself: "Yes, there is no other world, even if there is, how can you get there?" (To be continued.) )
