Chapter 109: Falling into the pit is just a living mud
Chen Jian hopes that this fuse exists, but paradoxically hopes that this fuse can be extended for three to five years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
One is really unable to fight now, and the other is to win, and he has not yet thought of an effective way to ensure the stability of the country.
In the previous life, Xia Shang was nominally the co-lord of the world, but it was only the nominal obedience of hundreds of princes. As a result, despite the millennium, the fundamentals are still those ones.
In the Zhou Dynasty, after the two separations, the meaning changed. First of all, Zhou Gong was a great talent, and he used etiquette to build the universal values of that era, and he was the executor and supervisor of etiquette, among which the maintenance of the stability of the family and the world was the distinction between the upper and lower, and the difference between respect and inferiority.
At this point, Chen Jian does not have the talent of Zhou Gong, even if he copies it, he will not be able to learn.
While shouting that no matter where you come from, you can only be an official in terms of knowledge, and at the same time expect all departments to agree that there are naturally different values between the upper and lower levels, which is schizophrenia. The former is the standard, you can go up, and the latter is that you can't go because your bloodline is wrong, which is diametrically opposite and there is no room for compromise.
Without completely replicating the great talent of the Duke of Zhou, whether it can ensure the internal stability of the ethnic group for hundreds of years and the external conquest aside, the so-called "aristocratic spirit" of this ethnic group is likely to die before being born - he has used paper to kill the possible subtle words, and he may also have used iron to destroy many bronze cultures that should have been mysterious, and has also lost many nouns and special words that should appear in natural evolution......
In the history of this world, there will no longer be two countries at war, and the general will take off his armor and salute the enemy king; It is no longer possible for a marksman not to shoot because the enemy chariot is also a nobleman and has a higher status than himself in the Zhou system; It is also impossible to have another Jin and Chu battles in the defeat of the Chu State, the car fell into the mud, the Jin State told the Chu people to pick the crosswood on the car and put it in the mud pond to escape, after escaping, the Jin State did not forget to praise: We are indeed not as high as the technology of a big country like you to escape......
The most absolute thing to abandon this set of "universal values" was the Qin State, and the most important patriarchal families and the like even had a situation where the father asked his son to borrow money, and the son was unhappy.
Theoretically, if everyone's morality is perfectly in line with propriety, then there will be no strife in the world, but it is not realistic.
Is it time to believe in the supremacy of morality? Or is it the rule of law? Only the rules have not been deliberately constrained by morality, will everyone become a "beast", or will it naturally produce a morality that conforms to the times and classes?
Chen Jian believes in the latter, but the biggest problem in belief and practice is whether it can be achieved.
If the Xia State can overwhelm the heroes, it can naturally be guaranteed by strong force, and the central land counties and surrounding barbarian feudal colonies will be developed in a manner similar to the county system; If there is a stalemate and you have to rely on a large amount of strength in the rest of the cities, then the best choice is the method of the Duke of Zhou, using moral law to maintain the top-down system and make the aristocracy a family and relatives.
Life is limited in this life, so you have to be in a hurry; Xia Guo's strength is still very weak, so he can't be in a hurry.
This contradiction led to the previous dialogue in the city. When Xia Guoqiang was so strong that the cities had to obey, what Ling said was pure morality and habit; Xia may not have the strength to stand alone in the world in the future, and Ling's words will become a moral concept to maintain the stability and sanctity of the ruling class.
And how to explain it from the root, and how to explain the reasonableness, is not something that the high priest can say, but can only be explained when the leader and the high priest are attributed to one person.
You should believe that this is the requirement of the high priest; You can not believe it, but if you don't believe it, you will be beaten, and this is the right of the chiefs of the tribes.
The return of the soul to the soul, the return of the living to the living, this is something he wants to practice, and he cannot break it by himself, as it should be.
And it was this kind of appeal and distinction that made Jian Chen think about one thing on the way to this city.
He vaguely felt that Su Yue and the other city leaders had dug a pit for themselves, a big pit that he could bury himself into.
When he is not the high priest, he can toss at will, and when he is the high priest, he tells all the leaders of the Xia Kingdom the three views, that is, he is forcing the leaders of the rest of the clan cities to oppose it, and making the Xia Kingdom the enemy of the leaders of the cities; According to the explanation of the three views that everyone wants, if the noble and the noble and the lowly are destined, just wait for the Xia people to question it, what is the use of having a high priest's position without the support of the people?
The wooden paper piled up on the side, the various structures on it only have a large frame, and all kinds of details are full of loopholes, which is originally used to use the skin of idealism to copy the rigid set, many things cannot be explained at all, and it is easy to be found flawed. After all, the time is too short, and he has not prepared all the shortcomings of the entire system in advance.
And the strife in this city seems to be accidental, but in fact it is just one thing that will inevitably appear in the Suyue pit. Even if the leader of this city does not die, something else will happen.
As a member of the Alliance, he can express his opinion, choosing for and against.
As a high priest, he can't express his opinions casually, especially when he doesn't agree with the leader and the rules that have always been followed, he needs to throw out a whole system of ideas to explain why he makes such an opinion - if he is just a member of the alliance, he says that he eats too much and closes his eyes and no one cares.
It seems that the high priest is rewarding him for his exploits in the expedition to Dongyi, but in fact, Su Yue is forcing him to express his position in advance. Obviously, there are people within Su Yue who have sensed Xia Cheng's growing strength, but they have no excuse, so they want to push him to the forefront.
This may not have been thought of by Su Yue himself, it is likely that the priest groups within Su Cheng thought of this issue with their professional sensitivities, thus persuading Su Yue.
The events of this city are accidental, but the kind of things that may lead to disputes or wars are inevitable, and if they are not caused by the affairs of this city, sooner or later they will be caused by other things. Those priests couldn't be counted as exhaustive, and they knew when they died, but they skillfully pressed everything that could be involved on Chen Jian, the high priest.
Jian Chen didn't know if he was thinking too much, but he clearly understood that Xia Guo was now walking on thin ice, so he could only believe it and be careful.
Therefore, when Ling was preparing to seize power, Chen Jian was agitated and vaguely supported. However, when Ling signaled to borrow Xia Guo's army to violently seize power, Chen Jian hinted that he would not agree.
This made Ling a little puzzled, but he still did what Chen Jian taught him. At least one, Ling doesn't have to worry about being killed, this is too close to Yucheng, and Yucheng is the capital of the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom has always given the impression that the chiefs of the various cities are the guardians and practitioners of the concept of the integration of the relatives of the Dahe tribes, and naturally Ling's brothers did not dare to kill Ling.
Chen Jian thought clearly that after Su Yue calculated himself, he had already decided to make peace with the mud, and others who couldn't get it didn't want to get it.
Around this fuse, the contradictions will be expanded and made public, but for the time being, do not tear your skin and fight shirtless, leaving room for each other.
Around the question of the succession of the leaders of this city, it is time for those cities between Xia Yu to clearly take sides, and it is also time for them to be ready to smell the smell of gunpowder, so as to clarify how much they really support themselves, so as to make a decision on what system should be in the future.
Therefore, when the sons of the old leaders of the city were tense, Chen Jian watched all this with a play-watching attitude, and did not clearly express his full support for Ling.
After waiting for three days in the city, Ling's brother temporarily lost to Ling in how to bury him, and he couldn't compete with his younger brother who was backstage, and in addition to the support of the low-level people, Ling also had some emerging support from relatives and nobles who were close to Yucheng.
In Jian Chen's view, this is a temporary victory, and the time for mud has finally come.
So after hiding for three days, Jian Chen finally appeared.
first encouraged Ling as a gentleman and praised Ling; In his capacity as the leader of the Xia Kingdom, he suggested that the old chief should not be buried for the time being, and wait for the envoys sent by various relatives before being buried; Finally, as the proposer and guardian of the words of the unity of the relatives, he intimidated the people in the city, and anyone who caused the relatives to fight would be regarded as the enemies of the Xia Kingdom, which could be regarded as giving Ling a refuge.
In the end, he asked the brothers to discuss what they had in advance, and when the envoys or leaders of the various clans arrived, he would elect a leader to gain everyone's approval.
He said that this was the first time that the leader had died of illness without leaving a candidate since the interests of the great river tribes were paramount, and that it was necessary to pay attention to it.
It seems to be extremely fair, and neither Ling nor his brother objected - Ling's brother believed that Su Yue was related to his mother; Ling believes that Chen Jian will definitely support him as a gentleman.
Chen Jian didn't care what they thought, and left the city with all the cavalry, and went to Sucheng to continue muddying the waters.
