"Luoyang is a little different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhou Quan lowered the curtain of the carriage and said to the people in the same carriage with a smile.

In the same car with him was Zong Ze.

Zong Ze, whose face was a little solemn, stared at Zhou Quan, wanting to see if he meant it, and seeing that Zhou Quan was indeed just talking about Luoyang City, Zong Ze's gaze eased slightly: "That's natural." ”

Di Wei did a very good job, relying on the confessions of the Han brothers and Lu Haowen, he followed the vine and wiped out most of the conservative forces in Luoyang City. The remaining kittens and dogs, even if they were not caught, either hid in the countryside to avoid the limelight, or they did not dare to oppose the new affairs such as railways, factories, and steam engines.

As long as there is no obstruction from these people, the speed at which the people accept new things is faster than Zhou Quan imagined. On closer examination, everyone has a desire to improve their own life, but this desire is often constrained by conservative and stubborn clichés, and does not exert its power.

Now that this constraint has been broken, it will of course bring rapid changes to the ancient city of Luoyang.

"How many people does Your Highness want to arrest?" Zong Ze suddenly spoke.

"Where is it, what good is it to catch the innocent, and what good is it to indulge the guilty?" Zhou Quan smiled slightly.

But in fact, in his heart, there was no such relaxed expression.

Song Xingfeng did not fully confess, but from his confession and Cai Ying's confession, many people in the Seventh Army were still implicated. From these people, it can be connected to nearly one-tenth of the entire Huaxia Army.

Although most of these people were only deceived by Song Xingfeng's appearance that he wanted to "persuade him to advance", just like Wei Zhen, who thought that Song Xingfeng was just eager to push Zhou Quan to the emperor's throne, some of them were still really involved in Song Xingfeng's conspiracy.

With the suicide of Song Xingfeng, there were many generals in the Huaxia Army who committed suicide and fled, some of whom had made meritorious contributions, and were even the reserve candidates for senior generals after the expansion of the Huaxia Army in Zhou Quan's mind.

This made Zhou Quan quite sad.

They are all cultivated in Zhou Quan's well-designed education system, and even if they do not join the army and are placed elsewhere, they are also excellent management talents.

"In this case, I understand, His Royal Highness is benevolent and does not build a prison, Zong Ze thanked the people of Xijing." Zong Ze got up in the carriage and clenched his fists slightly.

Zhou Quan did not accept this gift from him: "The people of Xijing are also the people of China, and they don't need to thank me." ”

Zong Ze was stunned and smiled bitterly.

Yes, why do the people of Xijing need him to thank Zhou Quan, those people were originally the people of Zhou Quan, even if they are not now, in a few years, isn't it?

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Ze remembered the news he had seen in the newspaper recently, and he couldn't help but be curious: "When will His Highness ascend the throne?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Quan was stunned, and then smiled: "What, I'm not in a hurry, Zonggong is in a hurry?" ”

"If the name is not right, it is not good, instead of letting those villains mess around for speculation, it is better for His Highness to get things done, so that there will be less turmoil in the world, and the people will be less worried and afraid."

Zong Ze said this from the bottom of his heart, he had feelings for Da Song, but he saw that Zhou Quan treated Zhao Ji well, and Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou were too unskilled, so he transferred this feeling to Zhou Quan. He is loyal to the Han family after all, the Chinese inheritance, not a family surname.

In his opinion, as long as Zhou Quan ascends the throne and falls off the current remnants of the Song Dynasty, then many problems will no longer be a problem.

"Speaking of which, I'm also a little distressed." Zhou Quan frowned.

"Oh, Zhou Gong might as well talk about it."

"I originally thought that after the destruction of the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia, the prestige of the world and the enthronement of the emperor would be to obey the heavens and the people. Now that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, only Wushu and Confession will not escape, and the fall of the Xia thief will also be imminent, but I feel that this merit alone is not enough to be called the emperor......"

Zong Ze's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Quan in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Zhou Quan would need "meritorious service" if he wanted to be the emperor. When Zhao Kuangyin was called emperor, he had any merits, but the generals put the yellow robe on him for the sake of wealth and wealth, and he did it half-way. When Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor, what merits did he have, but it was caused by the chaos in the world after occupying Guanzhong...... Tracing back to this, how many of the founding kings of all dynasties have been meritorious?

Therefore, in the fifth generation, An Chongrong dared to say that "the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of yes, and the soldiers and horses are strong"!

"You are ......" Zong Ze didn't know how to evaluate Zhou Quan's thoughts.

Do you mean he's hypocritical, or laugh at him for being naïve?

But if you think about it carefully, Zhou Quan also makes sense to say this, which of the ancient sages who were cited as models by Confucianism was born to be kings? The vast majority of them have made great contributions to the world, and then serve the world as the king.

"Doesn't the Zong Gong think so?" Zhou Quan asked.

Zong Ze hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "According to Zong's opinion, His Royal Highness's martial arts, any of the two, is enough to be the master." ”

"It's the king of men, or the king of men, not the lord of men." Zhou Quan couldn't help but rejoice when he heard that Zong Ze also recognized his merits, and said with a smile: "This is fundamentally different!" ”

"What's the difference?"

"The king of people is like the word, the top is a flat horizontal, and the human lord is a little higher than the flat horizontal. That is to say, the king of people or the king of people is only a power function, and he is still fundamentally equal to the people, but the lord of man is not, he is high, alone, and overrides everything...... I want to be a ruler but not a master! ”

Zong Ze suddenly realized when he heard it, and after thinking about it carefully, he only felt that Zhou Quan's words were meaningful and deafening!

Be a king, a king, not a master!

For the king and the king, he can be equal to others, and he is the master, he is alone, and he is above everything!

He got up and saluted Zhou Quan again: "Your Highness's words are true...... Really...... The sages are unprecedented, and the saints are crossed! ”

"But it's not enough, can I rule the world? I am also standing now, that is, I can live to the ancient rarity, and I will rule the world for forty years. What about after me, after me, do those who come to power want to be kings or masters? Zhou Quan was distressed in his heart, and finally couldn't help but vomit: "If you are the master, I will depose the Zhao family today, and someone else will depose the Zhou family in the future......"

According to the old system, it would be no more than 300 years at most, and there would be a change of dynasty. Zhou Quan has always been concerned about this, and every dynastic change within China means great destruction of the productive forces, and it has also caused repeated setbacks to China's external expansion and industrialization.

Even if he forcibly promoted the industrialization of China now, if he still followed the old dynasty, the current strength of China would be destroyed by the civil strife of the change of dynasty, and the fruits of industrialization had already spread out at that time. Those surrounding ethnic groups affected by industrialization are only afraid that they will take the opportunity to make trouble and cause greater harm to China.

His sense of distress surprised Zong Ze even more.

"The more this is the case, the more we need Your Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible and dominate the world!" After pondering for a while, Zong Ze thought of a strategy, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness thinks that the current martial arts are not enough to be the emperor, I have another way." ”

"What's the solution?" Zhou Quan leaned forward slightly, staring at Zong Ze intently, hoping to get a surprise from Zong Ze.

"Providence!" Zong Ze said.

Zhou Quan laughed dumbly: "Zonggong made fun of me, although I am not talented, I don't need to learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, go to the broken temple to pretend to be a fox, or hide silk books in the belly of the fish......"

"Your Highness is wrong, God listens to itself, the people listen to it, the sky sees itself as the people, and the will of God is the will of the people...... I have a lot of experience in observing the two-chamber system of His Highness, why don't His Highness make the people of the world elect the king just like the election of the two houses...... The ancient saint kings are not passed on by their descendants, but by public election, until Xia Qi, the first family in the world! ”

When Zong Ze said this, he became more and more excited, and simply clenched his fists and stood up: "After Your Highness, whoever succeeds to the throne will also be elected by the public, so that the person who is elected as the monarch must be a person with both virtue and prestige. ”

Zhou Quan was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, dumbfounded!

Then he wanted to slap himself in the face: Let you be hypocritical!

Zong Ze did give him a "surprise", and it was a big "surprise". Zhou Quan's original intention was to insist that the monarch monopolize the government in all this and make a constitutional monarchy in the next generation, but Zong Ze thought that he was really selfless, so he directly proposed that the kings after him were all elected, doesn't this mean that the monarchy has become a republic?

At this moment, Zhou Quan began to realize why Song Xingfeng was moved by Wen Weishen, Han Yingxuan and others.

"Lao Tzu's hard work to build the country, Lao Tzu's descendants did not come to sit, but handed it over to those who did not contribute at all, so that they could pick the fruits of Lao Tzu's victory! Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? ”

It's just that Zhou Quan is still more knowledgeable than Song Xingfeng and the others after all, although he feels uncomfortable when he thinks of such a result, but he has to admit that this is the trend of the future.

Even if a constitutional monarchy were to be established, it would gradually become a virtual and real monarchy, with the king becoming the nominal head of state, and the actual power would be transferred to the elected government for a certain term.

"Your Highness's public heart is really far beyond that of the ancient sages...... From the family world to the public world, tsk, Wen Weishen and others would definitely die of shame if they knew about His Highness's painstaking revenge! "Zong Ze is still there full of praise.

Zhou Quan's face darkened, and he was about to explain, when suddenly, the carriage he was riding suddenly stopped, and the four horses pulling the carriage also snorted and neighed uneasily!

Zong Ze originally stood up, because the carriage suddenly stopped, and he staggered a few steps under inertia, but fortunately, although he was old, his body was still strong and he quickly maintained his balance.

Zhou Quan had one hand on his waist, and the other hand pressed the car window, without lifting the curtain, and asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone stopped the car and shouted injustice!" The guard outside the car said with a calm face.

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, he didn't make a big noise about this trip, of course, it is impossible to clear the streets and clean the roads, and he personally does not advocate disturbing the people like this. However, there were many guards around him, and there were nearly 100 of them, both openly and secretly, and it took a bit of courage to dare to break into his car and stop it under such circumstances.

He was also a little curious in his heart, this kind of scene of blocking the road and shouting grievances finally met him, so he opened the curtain: "Go and ask, what's going on, come back to me." ”
