Chapter 230: The Crown, the Scepter, and the Throne
Rats leave a sinking ship! This old saying is not adulterated at all, the towering tree of the bright dynasty of mankind suddenly fell, and the human nobles who were originally attached to it suddenly became lonely ghosts, needless to mention that there are some far-sighted people who take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and prepare to pave the way for the future succession to the throne......
The human nobles who fled from the territory in a hurry were chased and killed by the goblin army, Luo Zhengdao, who was closely protected by the old earl, was still in danger many times and almost died on the way to escape, not to mention those who had empty stomachs full of musical knowledge and literary accomplishments, or were only good at bed skills and hooking up with women, not to mention the children of eagles and lackeys, the chances of the nobles who had nothing to do were really low in the war! Under the impact of the tide of the times, the eldest ladies of the aristocratic family either became the goblins, or they were simply forced to go to the sea to become street girls for their livelihoods.
Knowing very well what the present exiled aristocracy was, Faure Chopin did not know that his request was out of touch with reality, so he added another sentence at the end. As one of the henchmen entrusted by the old earl on his deathbed, the old retainer believed that he had the responsibility and unshirkable obligation to assist the young master, and in order to achieve this goal, no matter how difficult it was, he had to work in the most ideal direction.
Snorted angrily, Luo Zhengdao took out a bottle of snuff, sniffed it, sneezed and said:
"Are you kidding me? I don't usually see that you are such a stubborn person, alas! ”
Luo Zhengdao, who has always believed in pragmatism, could not understand why Faul Chopin insisted on asking him to marry a human aristocratic woman as his wife. Old Fuer, who knew that he was wrong, smiled awkwardly and did not justify his actions, but his determination would not change due to difficulties, and this matter would not unfold in the direction that Luo Zhengdao expected
"Hey, petition again? When they think I'm a temple, can I ask for anything? All right! And what does the petition say? ”
With a sigh, Luo Zhengdao's face was full of helplessness, he was often used as a target, he was about to be beaten out of experience, who called himself a big trick! It's obviously none of his business, he can't stand others and always has to find a resounding entry point, and messy things will fall on Luo Zhengdao's head, this is the reality of the son of a bitch!
In the old world, there are limericks, the temple is small and the demon is windy, and the pool is shallow and the king is eight. Regardless of the fact that the ground of Wake Reef is not large, the population is not large, and the various forces are intricately intertwined, which can be described as a mess, and even the nominal supreme ruler, Earl Fruse, cannot do it. Not to mention that the existential pressure exerted by the Second Goblin Empire has never been reduced, Luo Zhengdao has no hands to carry out purges or anything, and can only use the contradictory focus of different interest groups to engage in checks and balances. Even if he has this leisure, he doesn't have the capital to toss Wick Reef at the moment, and when it is cleaned, there will be no resources available, and it is good to be able to live a simple life because of ugliness, no matter how many unsatisfactory things there are, let's make do with it for the time being!
Vena Dubov, who played the role of a guest secretary, put a stack of papers on the desk and said jokingly:
"Lord Earl, you are the only remaining great nobleman of the Bright Dynasty, and they want you to re-erect the banner of the dynasty in the name of the regent."
Don't be afraid of big things when you watch the excitement! No matter what world you are in, it is a good thing for Zhang Luo to persuade the superiors below, of course, the unlucky ghost who was pushed underground without retreat does not have to complain, you dare to complain with the yellow robe, it's too hypocritical!
After seeing too many political conspiracies in the pile of old papers, Luo Zhengdao could see clearly how sinister these guys' intentions were when he closed his eyes, and snorted coldly with unhappiness, and said:
"Hmph, are these bastards going to put me on the stove and bake me as bread?"
Affected by the growth of divine power, the concentration of imperial power in the new world is far less than the centralized rule that the Chinese civilization in the old world has gradually tightened since the time of the first emperor, and the monarchs of the human dynasties until the time-traveling emperor are, to put it bluntly, the general spokesperson of the aristocratic class and the largest aristocratic leader, and it is nonsense to expect them to be like the Chinese emperor with the same mouth as the emperor of China.
The ability to defy the sky is like that predecessor who has worked hard until death all his life, and he only tries to expand the scope of imperial power as much as possible, and at the same time directs the shape shì towards a dynasty ruling model similar to the great unification. In the customary law of the lineage of human dynasties, once the emperor dies and the legitimate heir is a minor, it is customary for the nearest nobleman to act as regent, and it is enough to return the great government when the young emperor grows up. Anything like a regent usurping the throne has never really been born, because there is no shortage of nobles of the same level, and whoever wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters is not easy to implement.
The situation faced by Luo Zhengdao is not the same as the example given above, the royal family members of the Bright Dynasty were killed like goblins chopping melons and vegetables, this regent has no problem for his whole life, and he can pass it on to future generations to succeed, saying that the uncrowned king is not far behind, the problem is that it is difficult for him to feel much joy in the face of this temptation.
As the saying goes, you can wear as big a hat as you have on your head, and wearing the golden crown of the regent will immediately make the relationship between Luo Zhengdao and the exiled nobles, including Gaode Needham, delicate and sensitive. The matter of the petition has already made a big fuss, too many people on Wake Reef know about it, even if this trend is forcibly suppressed, the negative impact is irreparable, this kind of overlord like a bow of the petition really put him on the stove and began to roast raw!
With a wave of his hand and throwing the petition into the fireplace, the annoyed Luo Zhengdao closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths in a row to calm his mind, and a wry smile faintly appeared on his face.
Persuasion is a typical trick of political speculation, especially under the Yiyantang system established by Luo Zhengdao, it is almost unavoidable, even if he clearly tells the people below that he has no intention of going further, at least now that there is no such idiotic intention, those guys will be clever enough to find a lot of so-called reasons for him. Anyway, Luo Zhengdao couldn't punish them with a big bang because they expressed strong support for their ascension, didn't that chill the hearts of supporters? It is with this kind of mind that is not afraid that you will not comply, that the subordinates will regard persuasion as a beautiful thing with only benefits and no risks, and if they are ordinary people, who will not be willing to get involved?
Although it felt like swallowing a fly alive, Luo Zhengdao, who was pushed to the front desk, had no choice, and muttered:
"It looks like there's no way back!"
I can't say, in the eyes of those who are more familiar with it, Luo Zhengdao's face at the moment is really not joyful, and he is a little entangled and annoyed.
Witnessing the Earl's angry burning of the petition, the servants cleverly turned in and quietly retreated outside, leaving Luo Zhengdao to sulk alone. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the work of serving people and annoy the service users, and it is not surprising that they will be punished, but they don't have long eyes to dangle in front of the angry master, and if they are punished by anger, it is purely self-seeking death.
Luo Zhengdao also understood that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and now all he could do was to deal with the aftermath of the matter and avoid the negative impact from continuing to cause worse follow-up effects. Even if he opened his mouth to reject the petition, it would only be maliciously interpreted by the outside world as disdainful of even the title of regent, and it was obvious that only the Supreme Throne was the real goal, and then the trouble would be even greater. The lesser of two evils, it is better to be regarded as a hairy boy who is happy to achieve great success than to be regarded as a careerist who is not greedy enough. Thinking of this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh again, paralyzed, this vat of miso soup is really a professional pit father!
Since he is going to proclaim himself regent, this matter has to be handled seriously, and isn't it shameful to talk to himself? The new emperor of the ancient Chinese dynasty inherited the throne of Lao Tzu, and it was inevitable that before he ascended the throne, he pretended to do three steaming and three drying.
Although there is no Confucian cultural inheritance in the new world, and the superiors do not pay much attention to gentleness and frugality, they don't care about the details, and sit on it with a big grin, which will also be laughed at as a country bun.
First, the legitimacy of the coronation must be confirmed, and procedural justice is an indispensable element, otherwise it will not be a grass platform team that is swindling around and cheating money?
In the new world, the divine right of kings is a common phenomenon, and inviting the temple to be crowned is the most orthodox practice, and Luo Zhengdao dislikes this method very much. You must know that he himself is an unbeliever, and if he says that the temple is willing to agree to this matter, even if the other party is full of promises, he is still reluctant to be close to the temple, and after thinking about it, he can only change the way.
The source of legitimacy of state power, that is, the so-called legal system, has three main sources, resisting natural disasters that individuals cannot resist, such as the formation of the ancient Chinese dynasty is related to the need to govern the flood in the Yellow River Basin, Dayu can change the original tribal alliance to give each other the way to pass the seat to his son Xia Qi, which cannot but be said to be closely related to the connections and prestige he accumulated in the process of governing disasters. The second is to resist foreign humiliation, the invasion of other countries or tribes by force, in order to counter it, it is necessary to establish a corresponding mechanism of violence, which is another source of the state, and the last way is to elect a leader by the people, which is the universal suffrage system that modern people are familiar with.
The first two ways of establishing the legal system are commonplace, and the third model is far less wonderful than it seems, the more colorful the animal in nature, the more poisonous it is, and the beautiful and attractive appearance is often hidden murder, which is the uncompromising universal value, and the final interpretation of this problem belongs to nature.
