"Survival of the fittest?"

The truth used to describe nature was used in the national system, and Zhang Dian almost knotted his brows, "It's still used to respond to people." Adapt to the times and listen to them. ”

"The meaning is the same."

"But it doesn't sound the same." Zhang Dian said a word, and shook his head, there is no point in studying such poor trivialities, and it is not the sour Confucianism of the Han Dynasty who chews the words, "To adapt to the times, so we must change the law of the ancestors." The theory of survival of the fittest can also make sense when applied to the national law. But Yukun ...... Do you think now is the time for change? It's not that the law has changed, it's that the sky has changed. ”

"The Son of Heaven is still surnamed Zhao, and the Son of Heaven is still surnamed Zhao, where has it changed?" Han Gang smiled and said, "Japan says that its country is dominated by one line, and it is not easy for a hundred generations. Brother Zihou, they have changed? ”

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Japanese monks crossed the sea to China, and when they met the Son of Heaven, they presented two volumes, "Staff Today" and "Chronicles of the King". Among them, in the "Chronicles of the King", the genealogy of the Japanese lord is recorded, from the 23rd generation of the king to the 64th emperor, the same lineage, the inheritance has not been broken for thousands of years.

When Emperor Taizong heard about it, he sighed to the prime minister beside him: "This island is a long-standing world, and its ministers have continued to inherit, and this ancient way is also." ’

No one remembers the old events of the past, and the records of the past were also thrown into the pile of old papers in the history museum, buried I don't know how deep. However, the day before yesterday, when the Liao army crossed the sea and entered Japan, the court immediately rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and found all the records about Japan from different yamen. Han Gang and Zhang Diangui were the assistant and participated in the military, and these records must be read through.

"How can Siyi be the same as China?"

"Different? The big is the world, the middle is the country, and the small is the society. For example, you can see the Bow and Arrow Society and the Zhongyi Society on weekdays, among which the heads of the clubs are all presided over by the elderly or famous gentry, not by the government. The two major head offices of Keju and horse racing have to elect the head of the meeting at the beginning of each year, and the one with the most votes wins. This method of election is similar to that of the ancient kingdom of Taixi. ”

"The Ancient Kingdom of Tessie? Daqin? Strips? ”

From the beginning of the Yumen Pass, all the way to the Great Food, it can be regarded as the Western Regions. To the south of the Western Regions, beyond Tibet, are the Western Heavenly Kingdoms, that is, Tianzhu. And the west of the Western Regions is called Taixi. Zhang Dian didn't have much impression of such a distant place, and only remembered that there were Great Qin and Tiaozhi in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.

"Greece." Han Gang said of a country that Zhang Dian was very unfamiliar with, "In recent years, my younger brother has collected foreign books and translated them into Chinese, which has increased his knowledge. Tessie had the ancient name Greece, around the same time as Zhou. Its country's culture and education are prosperous, and there are many sages, and they are all admired in the books of the Great Food Country. In the Greek state, those who were adults with property were appointed as scholars, and their lords were elected by scholars, and they held office for a fixed period of three or five years, when the time limit was reached, and they were to be relinquished and returned to the rank of scholars, and ceased to be kings. How is this different from the current election of the two major heads of the main societies of Keju and horse racing? ”

Zhang Dian was suspicious: "I don't know anything else. The election of the heads of the two major societies of Keju and horse racing, can't it be that Yukun you borrowed from you? ”

"References? Well, the little brother will give an example that is not a reference. Han Gang added, "Now, Greece is dying early. There is a Nestorian sect that unifies Taixi. If the kings of the Taixi kingdoms ascend the throne, they must first go to the head of the Jingjiao sect, that is, the Taixi Emperor, and the Taixi Emperor will send an envoy to crown them. This is very similar to Zhou Shi, right? The world is divided into feudalism, and all countries are co-ruled by King Zhou. ”

Han Gang said it succinctly and omitted a lot of details. Zhang's family is a Fujian family, and he has a lot of exchanges with overseas. Han Gang said about Taixi, he had a vague impression, but it sounded very different, as if it was distorted somewhere, but it was just put on with the feudal system of Zhou Shi, but it could indeed match.

"Different countries have different customs. In different periods, the grammar and outline are also different. But sometimes, tens of thousands of miles apart, there are the same places. In fact, this also reflects a point that no matter which country's grammar, it is not innate, but constantly evolving, changing with time and situation, and conforming to reality. Brother Zihou, say something offensive. The reason why I can't live in panic is that I think it won't change, and after ten years, it will return to the same as before. But in reality? As long as you get used to it, you will change when you change! ”

Han Gang said it like a tongue twister, but Zhang Dian heard it very clearly.

"Is it possible?" He immediately asked with a sneer.

"As long as you have that heart." Han Gang said.

"Yukun." Zhang Dian lowered his voice, but his voice was full of emotion, "If you just abolish the Son of Heaven, it will be once and for all, and you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life." But your method is to ask us to risk killing our heads and open the way for future generations to sound the gong. Foolish brother asks you again, is it possible?! ”

It really can't be, because with the current rulers of the two governments, they can't count on it at all.

The revolutions of the Western powers in later generations to overthrow the kings were all forced by the situation. In the process, I don't know how many lives have been paid? The people involved, except for a few careerists, are basically forced to choose such a path.

What Han Gang wants to do is not something he can do alone. Even if you gather the strength of many people, it is also unlikely, and you must take a big risk.

And for now, which of the Zaisukes is willing to choose the path that takes huge risks but does not benefit much. Replacing the six-year-old emperor who committed the crime of killing his father is such a simple thing, but the benefits are incalculable. In the former, the risk and return are completely disproportionate, while in the latter, the return is simply too high.

It's just that when it comes, they can't help it, they have to make changes.

Could it be that now they still have a way to depose the emperor? Even if they can persuade the Empress Dowager Xiang to move her mind and agree to depose Zhao Xu as a concubine, they must find a suitable time and a suitable person. Again, this is not a simple matter. There will be no shortage of clans eyeing Zhao Xu's position, but how many can make Empress Dowager Xiang look pleasing to the eye?

"It's really hard. But is it right or wrong for the emperor to decide life and death based on his joy and anger? Now that there is a chance to correct it, can you let this opportunity go? ”

"If you change the past, you will be changed back." Zhang Dian knew very well that the fear of the Son of Heaven was deeply ingrained in the hearts of his courtiers.

No matter how the ministers controlled the court, as long as the emperor was not mediocre, he would soon take power back. In other words, it was better in the fifth generation, and no one would be afraid of the young emperor. However, if it is five generations, the emperor only leaves women and children, and every family has already been inspected with a yellow robe.

But looking at Han Gang's confident expression, Zhang Dian became puzzled and asked carefully: "Yukun, do you know what to say?" ”

"What do you know?" Han Gang asked rhetorically.

"The Son of Heaven is frail and sickly, and he has the disease of insufficiency......"

Han Gang Zhengse said: "Brother Zihou. The younger brother can indeed judge life and death, but at that time, when the case was decided. The lifespan of a person is not something that Han Gang can know. ”

How long can Zhao Xu live? Historically, he doesn't seem to have died very old. Han Gang remembered that in the famous book that mentioned Emperor Daojun, when Zhao Ji, who was still the king of Duan, succeeded to the throne, he still liked to play football for fun, and he was not old. Pushed from him, Zhao Xu couldn't be much older when he died.

However, the reality is that Zhao Ji died before he gave birth to Emperor Daojun, which proves that history is so biased that people are completely unrecognizable. Since Song Shenzong can become Song Xizong, he died earlier than in history. So who can guarantee that Zhao Xu can't live for a few more decades? Live to the sixtieth birthday, live to the ancient, even comparable to Emperor Wu of Liang, live to more than eighty?

And the longevity of the Empress Dowager Xiang is also difficult to say, it may be very long-lived, or there may be accidents. Once an accident happens, even if Zhao Xu has not yet reached the age of pro-government, there is still the Empress Dowager Gao, or Concubine Zhu, no matter which one it is, it can make the Zai Fu feel cold to the end.

Zhang Dian still wanted to say something, but looking at Han Gang, what he wanted to say in his heart turned into a long sigh. Han Gang's idea was too terrifying and difficult to realize, and Zhang Dian didn't dare to put his net worth and life on him.

"Brother Zihou, don't worry about it for the time being." Han Gang comforted Zhang Dan, "I still have enough time to figure out a way." ”

"Enough time?" Zhang Dian shook his head. Since the number of lifespans is difficult to determine, where is there enough time. It looks like there are still more than ten years to go, but in reality, it is difficult to say that there will be no surprises.

Declined to stay at Han Gang's house for wine and dinner, and Zhang Dian left with a heavy boulder in his heart.

After sending Zhang Dian out, Han Gang returned to the study.

The words he said to Zhang Dian tonight were full of too many rebellious words, and presumably Zhang Dian would not leak it. But even Zhang Duan couldn't convince him, let alone the other Zaifu.

But Han Gang wasn't so worried. And then there's time. The possibility of an accident to the Empress Dowager Xiang is actually not that great, and Zhao Xu's own problem is much greater than that of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

Zhao Xu is dead, and Zhao Xu is also filial piety, but he has to carry heavy sins since he was a child, what will the people next to him think of him? Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you can't think that the whole thing doesn't exist. In that unique position, the world's attention will be focused on him, and no matter how good he is, he can't escape the phrase 'patricide' - the label on him has been set.

The Zai Fu underestimated Zhao Ji's father-killing crime that had been exposed, and they also underestimated their own strength too much.

Their hearts can't support the situation, even the bold Zhang Dian is the same, the fear of imperial power is still deep-rooted, and it is far from being able to compare with Han Gang, who is full of rebellion, otherwise there is no need to worry about anything. But the amount of power in their hands is real. Han Gang believes that over time, they will gradually understand what they can do.

And the fear of the present can also make Cai Qu, Zhang Dian, and even Han Jiang take the initiative to do something they would not or dare not do, as long as they feel that it is beneficial to the future.

They don't need to be guided by others, they will make their own choices in the face of the times.
