Chapter 1070: The Past and Present of the Zen Concession System (3)
Wang Shichong breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to Wei Zheng, who was listening and contemplating while contemplating: "At this time, the military leader is not only a role in organizing everyone to hunt, he can directly distribute food, and even execute those who do not obey his orders. ”
"Once a person has such power, he doesn't want to give it up, like Yao and Shun don't want to give up their power, and Yu goes further, I'm afraid that he has already made arrangements to let his son take over in advance and master the military power, so that not only can he be in power for the rest of his life, but also let his son continue to be in power, which is the fundamental reason why the Zen concession system is truly replaced by the blood inheritance system."
Wei Zheng nodded: "That's true, in fact, all things in heaven and earth have selfish intentions, even those wild beasts will look at their children and cubs, and rarely take care of other cubs in the herd, the little cubs of cattle and sheep, they don't open their eyes, and they will also go with other brothers and sisters to snatch their mother's breasts, these are the nature of all things in heaven and earth." ”
"The reason why the ancient ancestors seem to be selfless, is only because of the difficult conditions, and they can't survive without working together, once the conditions improve, with the surplus products you said, then the power will become useful, and people will also have selfishness, first of all, use power to ensure themselves, occupy more interests, not only to occupy their own lives, but also to their descendants and descendants, Dayu and Xia Qi don't think like this, do you do this?"
Wang Shichong smiled slightly and said: "Xuancheng, you are very right, people's selfishness appears with the emergence of surplus products, and since then there has been a hierarchy and a country, until now, even if the world is now, it cannot be mentioned that loyalty is the foundation, because the dynasty has changed so many times." Each time he committed a crime as a courtier, although the founding kings of the past tried their best to glorify themselves and dress themselves up as heroes who hanged the people and overthrew the tyrants, they still could not change the reputation of rebellion, and loyalty was not advisable. There is only an emphasis on filial piety, so the emperor is the family of the world, and ordinary people are also passed on from son to grandson, this is the tradition of our time, right? ”
Wei Zheng smiled dumbly and said: "Lord, after going around for a long time, why did you tell me these well-known truths?" It is impossible to return to the era of the ancient flood and famine, and the family is the world. This set of concepts has been practiced in the world for thousands of years, this is the right way in the world, we are all mortals, and it is impossible to turn things around and change the world with our own strength. ”
Wang Shichong sighed softly: "But power has alienated people, and they have lost all conscience and morality, when Dayu." He also wants to pass on his power to his children and grandchildren, so that they can sacrifice themselves for generations. Enshrine yourself as an ancestor, but now, hehe, look at Yang Guang's living treasure, and there is still a trace of brotherhood, the righteousness of father and son? In order to seize power. Brothers can be killed, fathers can be killed, and in the end, it is a scumbag like Yang Guang who has no bottom line to take the throne, is this the result that the family wants in the world? ”
Wei Zheng was speechless for a long time. Only then did he sigh: "Listening to what the lord said, the family system with blood as the means of inheritance is extremely flawed, but it has been the case for thousands of years, what the lord is worried about and worried about, once a faint monarch or tyrant takes the throne and acts perversely, so that the people of the world cannot live in peace, then in the end, the world will rise up and attack this one-man thief, and the final result is to change the dynasty." ”
"Shi Hu, the big devil, stood by killing his relatives, and in the end, his sons did the same, killing each other, and this big devil to death, and the Shi family was the last to kill people cleanly. Today's Yang Guang is not in the right position, tyrannical and ferocious, and poisons the world, isn't this a good opportunity for the lord to replace him? ”
Wang Shichong shook his head gently, and a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Yes, theoretically speaking, it can be so, but in this way, changing the dynasty means a sea of corpses and blood, and the heads are rolling. ”
Wei Zheng looked at Wang Shichong in a daze, not knowing how to speak, Wang Shichong continued: "At the beginning, the ancestors of the ancients gathered together to become a tribe in order to better survive in a group, and to elect a leader, so that someone could lead everyone to save their lives. Later, with the five grains, the people could settle down and form a country, whether it was Zen or the death of the father and the son, the election of the king was to make the people of the country live better. ”
"But if the king is incapable and causes chaos in the world, what is the point of existence of such a country? Instead of forcibly supporting his children and grandchildren to ascend to the throne, the result is a disaster for the world, and finally overthrown, not only his own family is destroyed, the temple is not protected, but also the people of the world are harmed, is this really good for his children and grandchildren? ”
Wei Zheng sighed: "My lord, do you mean that even if you get the world in the future, you still want to let the virtuous and capable occupy this throne, instead of passing it on to your descendants?" ”
Wang Shichong's eyes sparkled, he looked at the rushing Liaohe, and sighed softly: "If my son has this ability, at least he can be a master of success, of course I am happy to pass on the world to them, and the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, but if Xuanying, Xuanshu, and benevolence will become like Yang Guang's brothers or Yang Guang's sons in the future, then I might as well choose another meritocracy and hand over the power to him." ”
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed: "Lord, this matter must not be, the royal family that hands over the power will definitely be exterminated by the careerist in the end, not to mention whether your son and nephew will accept such a decision, that is, the person you entrust, once you control the power, it is equivalent to handing over the knife to the hands of others, the lord of course you have the world in mind and love the common people, but others may not think like this, let alone do it." ”
"It is the first emperor Yang Jian, who is known as virtuous and benevolent, not to consolidate his throne and kill on a large scale, he was originally the orphan of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's grandfather, and the father of the queen mother, but after taking power, he killed more than 3,000 people in the Yuwen clan, and even his grandson did not let go. Even if a generation of Ming monarchs like Yang Jian is still so cold-blooded and ruthless in the face of power, how can the lord be so gullible. ”
Wang Shichong was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It seems that it is still too difficult to change this entire era, it is too early to say this, we haven't even started something, what else are we talking about?" It seems that the whole world is in our hands. Xuan Cheng, let's talk about this later, let's talk about the next trends first. (To be continued......)
