Sure enough, Zheng Yuan was sharply interrupted by Liu Zongyuan next, his voice was very loud, pacing and matching gestures at the same time, which was very infectious: "The rule of the three generations cannot be restored, and the fifth-class lord system is even more ancient." At the beginning of heaven and earth, people were mixed with plants, trees, birds and beasts, and the minions were not as sharp as the beasts, and the feathers were not as light as the birds, so if they wanted to survive, they had to rely on external objects, but external objects were limited, so there was a struggle between people and people, and in order to mediate the struggle, people had to elect smart, strong, and moral people to come out, and slowly believe and follow each other, which was born by the saints. The saints formulated the doctrine, and most of the people obeyed, but some of the stubborn people resisted, so the saints had to punish these people, and the king, punishment, decrees, and armies came into being. Under the influence of these things, the crowd slowly formed many princes, and the struggle between the princes gave birth to many Fang Bo and Lian Shuai, and finally Fang Bo and Lian Shuai elected the Son of Heaven and handed over the whole world to him to rule, which is the potential, and it is definitely not decided by any sages and sages.

Feudalism is not the will of the saints, but also the power to make it happen. Zhou has the world, divides the land and divides it, builds hundreds of princes, fifth-class titles, surrounds Wangji, such as spokes, such as wheels, the princes are combined together internally to make pilgrimages to the Son of Heaven, and externally they are scattered all over the country to guard the land for the Son of Heaven, is it decided by the Duke of Zhou? No, it was formulated by Zhou Gong according to the situation at that time. Just because Monday began to share the world with the princes, had to adopt the feudal system, not long after, the princes will not be able to fall, the authority of the Son of Heaven is declining, to the king of Zhou Yi, he has to go down to the court to meet the princes, to the king of Zhou Xuan, although the east and west, trying to restore the ancient system, but still can not save the momentum; So King You and King Li had to move east, and they were reduced to a group of princes, and the next princes, some of whom asked about the importance of Jiuding, those who shot the Son of Heaven on the shoulder with an arrow, some openly kidnapped the ministers of the Son of Heaven, or forced the Son of Heaven to kill their loyal subordinates. The whole world is fighting endlessly, so some people say that Zhou has 800 years of national glory, but in my opinion, Zhou has long perished, and then it is just an empty corpse above the princes! So, everyone says that Yao Shunyu is a sage and wants to be retro, so why does Zen still become hereditary; Later, everyone said that Tang Wu Zhou Gong was a sage and wanted to go back to the past, so why did the Zhou system finally collapse and be broken, initially divided into twelve countries, and then turned into seven heroes, fixed in Qin? Can the benevolence of this sage be compared to the general trend of the world? ”

In the Luoxia Pavilion, the emperor was very satisfied with Liu Zongyuan's grand theory, nodded his head in approval, and applauded softly, feeling that those careerists who used retro as an excuse should be executed at Ling Chi.

"Then how does Liu Zi explain that Qin set up a county system and died in the second?" At this moment, Zheng Yuan has been defeated and surrendered, only Liu Bi is left to stand up bravely and continue to argue with Liu Zongyuan.

"The mantis arm is a car...... the emperor looked at Liu Pi with disdain, thinking so.

"What does Dr. Liu think, I would like to hear it first!" Liu Zongyuan was still not in a hurry, and let Liu Bi speak first.

Liu Pi's words also have nothing new, "Qin abolished the princes, ran counties and counties, ruled the world autocraticly, and collected the benefits of the world for one family, so no one rescued him in times of crisis." ”

"You said that Qin is a family of the world, aren't those princes a family of the world? Qin II is not good, will the second and third generations of the princes be virtuous? It is said that the world is public, but the princes cannot be public, since the unification of Qin, how can the rest of the princes not be private for themselves, private for their future generations? And it is precisely the first emperor who abolished the princes' capitals as counties, abolished the fifth-class lords as the guards, according to the world's male map, the upper reaches of the capital Liuhe, filmed the four seas, and transported within the control, this is the beginning of the world's grand dukes. Therefore, feudalism is private, and counties are public, this is an indisputable fact! Those who promote feudalism but call the world public, are all covering their ears and stealing bells. ”

"Good, good." The Emperor was thrilled.

"Liu Zi previously claimed that the sages and sages were not trustworthy on the grounds that the Zhou system was broken; Then Qin Ye II died, so this county system is not credible? Liu Bi retorted.

"Doctor Liu, in the view of servants, the political system and the political system, although it is said together, but the political system and the system should be treated separately. The Zhou Dynasty was divided into feudals, hoping that the princes could defend the land and love the people and defend the Son of Heaven, but these princes were all greedy for money and warlike, and none of the hundred in the governance of the territory could be called excellent, but it was precisely because of feudalism that the Son of Heaven could not withdraw the incompetent and brutal princes, and the people were cruelly abused and could not ask the Son of Heaven to preside over justice, so the problem of Zhou was not in the system, but in politics.

Qin's problem is the same, the people rebelled due to the loss of government, but the people rebelled against the imperial court, not the county, and there were rebellious people and no rebellion in the county guards. Although there are disputes between counties and feudalism, they still follow the former system, and now although there are secession rebellions, it is by no means the fault of the county system, but the army is out of control and the dictatorship of the military is caused. Therefore, as long as the Son of Heaven is wise, reasonably selects the county officials, appeases the people, and then controls the army, the world will naturally be as peaceful as ever. ”

At this moment, there was an endless stream of cheers and applause in the Luoxia Pavilion, and the emperor, the crown prince and the imperial grandson Li Chun all agreed with what Liu Zongyuan said, among which Li Chun also secretly made up his mind: "As the emperor, it is better to carefully select the auxiliary ministers and entrust them with power, but they must be controlled properly, so that Zhongxing can finally be completed." ”

That is to say, Li Chun was quite unimpressed with his grandfather's behavior of being jealous of the minister.

In the pavilion of Shangshu Province, the prime ministers did not speak, among them, Lu Zhen and Zheng Qi all twisted their beards, as if they were waiting for something.

Although Liu Pi was refuted step by step, he was still stubborn, and he was still chattering there, "Liu Zi said that the principle of separation of political systems, although the servants are stupid, they can be regarded as understanding. But what is the superiority of the county system over the feudal system? ”

Before Liu Zongyuan could speak, Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, stood up and said loudly to Liu Pi: "This is not simple? For example, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, knowing Meng Shu's virtuous ability, immediately restored him to the Taishou of Yunzhong County; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood Ji Di's integrity, so he promoted him to the rank of Jiuqing; After Emperor Xuan of Han understood Huang Ba's incorruptibility, he made the other party prime minister. And if the emperor knew that the county guards were harming the people and bending the law for personal gain, he could immediately dismiss them from their posts and punish them, but what about the feudal princes? They are the heavens in their own territory, and they can wantonly mutilate the people, even if the people cry out for heaven and earth, but the court can only be sad and cannot punish them. This is the greatest advantage of the county system! At this time, Li Chun looked at the sky with his hand and pointed out, "Therefore, only by letting the emperor who belongs to the Mandate of Heaven have the greatest power, appointing the central ruler, the county magistrate, and the commander of the six armies and brigades, can he really protect the people, this is the Tao of ten thousand times!" (He's not a good emperor, but he's a good man; He's not a good man, but he's a good emperor.)

After speaking, Li Chun looked at Liu Zongyuan with extremely appreciative eyes and saluted him.

And Liu Zongyuan also hurriedly returned the salute.

The people in the two pavilions almost all thought at this time that Liu Zongyuan was already a sure winner.

The prime ministers looked at each other, thinking that the civil battle of "Han Shanzuo" had been defeated, and they would not use force to coerce the court, right?

"Pi, I have benefited a lot—of course—and one more thing, I think Liuzi is inconsistent!"

Suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Liu Pi's mouth, and he arched his sleeves again, without any panic, his eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he said so calmly.
