There is no precedent for such an inquiry, and it is a Chiguoguo's interference in the interior of the rest of the cities. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Naturally, this inquiry caused uneasiness among the chiefs of the various cities. But this uneasiness did not come from the anger caused by this interference, but because the city was involved in the dispute between Sucheng and the Xia Kingdom.

The two eldest sons are related to Su Yue by blood, but Chen Jian is the gentleman who nominally needs to be regarded by his father.

Originally, everyone came this time in order to elect the high priests of Chen Jianwei's various departments in a form, and both their reputation and strength were enough.

However, before the high priest was elected, Chen Jian first asked about the succession of the other city leaders, and it was obvious that the contradiction between the high priest and the leaders of the various tribes was to be clarified.

The leaders looked at the ugly but magical bronze musket in their hands, thinking of the temptation of Chen Jian's promise to teach iron-smelting to various cities in three years, and the uneasiness in their hearts was even worse, and they couldn't help but look at Su Yue one after another.

Su Yue didn't show anger or anything like that on his face, and asked with a smile, "What does Ji Xia mean by asking?" This is a matter for the city, can we decide? Even if I am the leader of the alliances, I can't decide who the leader of a city should be. Ji Xia is not right to say this. ”

This is what Su Yue has always wanted to do but couldn't do, and at this time, he splashed dirty water on Chen Jianjian, but he didn't say too much.

Jian Chen sighed and said, "That's not the case, I don't want to interfere with the rest of the city's choices. It's just that more than 30 years after the alliance between the tribes and Huasu, chaos has emerged one after another, and every time the leader grows old, there are many internal strife in the city and killing each other or splitting up to build a separate city. ”

"Since the rebellion in Windy City, all the tribes have agreed that the interests of the Great River tribes are supreme, and they all hope that the inheritance of the leader will not shed blood, so that brothers and relatives will fight."

"Before this, three leaders also died, but before they died, they all proposed the next leader, and everyone respected the original covenant of the Great River Tribes, and no one dared to kill each other because of this."

"However, the old leader of this city did not propose who the next leader would be, this is the first time that our Great River Tribes have faced this situation. If you don't do it well, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the future, and other cities will follow suit, which is not right. ”

"It's like farming, if you plant well for the first time, everyone will learn from him. But if the planting is not good, it is inevitable that some people will question the farming itself. ”

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, observed Chen Jian and Su Yue, and thought to themselves that Ji Xia was about to be elected as the high priest, could it be that he wanted to use this matter to perfect the original secret covenant?

The succession of rights after the old age or death of the castle leader is indeed chaotic, and the system of succession is strange at this time. There are cities that are elected, there are family inheritances, and there are theocratic priests who seize power. They hoped that the city would not be in civil strife after their death, and that the power would be passed on in the form of family blood.

This requires a stable and mature system, forming a norm that is not necessarily the best but the most stable, and everyone will voluntarily maintain this system of rules for the sake of their own cities and bloodline inheritance, and can even put aside temporary differences.

It's like taking the original secret covenant one step further and stipulating who can inherit it. If someone crosses this rule, then everyone should oppose it, because to oppose others is to defend themselves, even if it is a hostile attitude towards the hostile city, then they should unite for this rule.

However, what is lacking at this time is precisely such a rule, a mature rule.

The bloodline inheritance is not yet stable, let alone the eldest son or being accepted by everyone and taking it for granted.

This is also the reason why everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they all heard that the Xia State had clearly stipulated the method of primogeniture inheritance for some special things, and they all thought that Chen Jian was going to implement this method to the succession of the leaders of various cities. And the eldest son of the deceased leader of that city was not Ling, it seemed that Chen Jian was going to give up the dispute for the sake of the stability of the Great River Tribes, and there was a precedent for naturally having illusions, and everyone and Su Yue listened to Chen Jian's explanation with their ears sideways.

It's just that the primogeniture system has never always existed and is naturally accepted, especially under the relationship between men and women in the times, whether the first child is not necessarily their own, and the younger son is more likely to be his own.

If you want this system to be implemented, you must have a complete set of systems, which is also reflected in some ritual systems, such as the marriage of men and women in the complete system of the previous life and the primogeniture system, after three months, the woman can be regarded as truly becoming her own family, and she can sweep the floor and send it back at any time within three months, and she cannot go on it within three months - the etiquette law does not appear for no reason, nor is it so strange for no reason, but at that time it is not important whether it is a place, but the child is very important. If you don't go on it within three months, if your stomach bulges, it's definitely not your own seed, and if you go on it within three months, you can't tell.

This is by no means a sentence that can be done by inheriting the righteousness of the world, and it needs complete support to ensure that the loopholes are patched.

The problem now is that there is no unified way of thinking. The relationship between the family, the clan, and the father and son is in a mess. Some clans have the habit of seeing the family as the inheritor of their own bloodline, while others regard their parents, children and spouses as the inheritors of the bloodline, and even some clan women still have an inflated status.

The family inheritance is even more chaotic, about half of them are brothers and brothers, because the age difference between brothers is not much, and they are more mature than sons and have more rights, under this system of half-recommendation and half-blood circle, the older brother always has an advantage over the younger son.

A perfect rule of succession needs to be maintained by all the cities, but it needs to be determined by the high priest and given a reasonable explanation and supporting behavioral constraints. It has always been the case that it is guaranteed by force and convinced by words.

Therefore, they put all kinds of expectations and hopes on Chen Jianjian, hoping that after Chen Jian became the high priest, he would propose a perfect system to ensure that the history of the ethnic group became a family genealogy. Without the military support of Xia Guo, this system would be difficult to implement, and without Chen Jian perfecting this theory, it would be even more impossible.

From the beginning of the big discussion of the alliance, with the appearance of Xia State texts, canons, history books, etc., the leaders have tacitly agreed that Chen Jian is in charge of the drummer of public opinion propaganda such as the bloodline theory, and there is indeed no other person who can take on this important responsibility, and no one is confident that he can persuade Chen Jian with his mouth, and when it comes to force, he may not be able to fight.

As long as Chen Jian didn't spread Xia Yu's strange system like a disease to the rest of the cities, everyone was still willing to wait for Su Yue's death to elect Chen Jian as the leader. The premise is that it needs to be consistent with everyone's interests - only need to concoct a complete set of perfect system in which the rights of the nobility are granted by heaven and will not be immovable for eternity, let alone let you be the leader, even if we push Su Yue down and let you come up now.

Now it seems that there is this trend, because Chen Jian directly asked which son should be succeeded, even if in fact the rest of the people are not likely to be elected, but directly saying something similar to the death of a father and a son has not been done before, which can be regarded as an earth-shattering shock:

The previous father and son successively were still nominally still the mode of selecting sages with knowledge and combat skills, but because of the monopoly of knowledge and bloodline inheritance, others had no chance to get ahead. And if the son is allowed to inherit without any reason, and the sacredness of the inheritance of rights is changed from the knowledge inheritance of the clan era to the inheritance of blood, the people of the country may directly ask: Why?

The offspring can succeed because they have done a good job, and even if there is a shortcut, they can be hidden, so the reason for a good job in name will not be objected to; The offspring succeeded because their father had been the chief, so it was only natural that the son should be the leader, so that the people of the country would oppose it.

The habits or ways of thinking left over from the Clan Era affect all clans and clans.

Ability is sacred, and bloodline is not sacred for the time being, but because of the monopoly of knowledge, it seems that bloodline is about equal to ability, but it is still not bloodline sacred at the root. At least in this era, no ruler has yet taken it for granted that the power and blood are combined in a sophistic way.

The facts are the same, the results are the same, and there is a world of difference whether the different statements can be accepted or not, and who makes it inevitable that the people of the country are soldiers and therefore inevitably have the power of the parliament.

If Chen Jian came up with a system of rules and regulations at this time, learned from the Emperor's Paradise and puppet Manchukuo to use the "Disciple Rules" as a teaching material, learned from the Great Zai Qianyuan to compile the "Twenty-four Filial Piety", and then learned from the Great Christ, which made people not resist the desire to be a good person, and was born with original sin for redemption, and then learned from the Great Desert to divide the pie and kill too many people, kill too many people, and believe in the rest, and then create a batch of heretics from the inside to kill a batch of legal robberies, then it will really be called a saint by the leaders.

The progressive person who cannot be sanctified when he is alive will only be like a lost dog, and can only be sanctified if he is spiritually emasculated after death, but as long as he gets all the dross, he can be sanctified while he is alive, and it is very simple.

This is the reason why everyone is not angry because Chen Jian proposed to interfere in the internal affairs of the city, whether it is the eldest son or the younger son, it is the father who dies and the son succeeds, this premise is not bad, the internal strife is reasonable and reasonable, and the meat is rotten in the pot.

This is not a rule, but a struggle for rights within the unspoken rules of the framework, as a pro-noble leader, you must first maintain this rule, and then the struggle for rights within the rules, because if the rules are destroyed, everyone will be finished.

So the question becomes: of course, he supports Ji Xia's seemingly proposed rule of succession from the father to the son, and expects him, the high priest, to perfect the explanation and reasonableness; But it doesn't necessarily support the son that Ji Xia supports. Therefore, I am nervous but not angry, and the only thing I am worried about is what I will stand on in the future, which side will I stand on? Do you want to stand now or in the future?
