Chapter 229: The General Trend

TVXQ opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, Your Majesty, the king of a country, it is really our honor to summon us. ”

Emperor Tianqing then spoke: "I have not been in the Great Treasure for a long time, and I am afraid that there are still many deficiencies in governing the country. I'd love to hear what the heads of the house have to say. ”

The heads of the four great families glanced at each other, and TVXQ said: "Since ancient times, all dynasties have respected Confucianism, paying attention to monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, so as to instill the idea of loyalty and patriotism.

This is the control of the mind, which is conducive to the unity of the dynasty. Therefore, on top of ideology, His Majesty should still use Confucian thought.

Ideology is the most important thing, and for Your Majesty, no matter how much reform is carried out, this ideological reform cannot be wanted. ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "What the head of the Dongfang family said is good, but I believe that some ideas must be changed in order to push the wheels of the times forward. In order to make this world bloom and be extremely strong. ”

Hearing Emperor Tianqing's words, the four of them did not refute it, they really need to change in their thinking, and only when their thinking changes, can the world change with each passing day.

But in this way, the development of the common people may reach a point where they cannot control it, shaking their position as rulers.

Liu Yiming said: "In addition to ideological and cultural indoctrination and guidance, the rulers of successive dynasties have also divided and disintegrated internal political factions and local forces through a series of political measures, and constantly improved the centralized system to ensure the stability of the ruling center.

The first measure is to reform the central administrative organs, improve the work efficiency of the central organs and balance the internal contradictions through a clear political division of labor and strict checks and balances on power.

Measure 2: Implement the system of small local administrative divisions to prevent administrative divisions from becoming too large and losing control.

There is also the third measure: Reform the local administrative organs, divide the powers, prevent the local senior governors from combining military, political, and financial powers, and at the same time implement a system of rotating officials, so that they do not live in the same place for a long time, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the local administrative power.

Nowadays, the capital of Daqin is based on the city, almost one city and one system, so that the administrative area is not big, but it is also too small, and it is not very easy to control. ”

Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "What the head of the Liu family said is very right, but this is true, I should also make some changes." In fact, the truth is clear, but the implementation is another matter. ”

Nangong Mo left his mouth and said: "There is also administrative control, in order to prevent the army generals and soldiers from going too closely and threatening the imperial power, the military power was divided into the right to command the army, the right to send troops, and the right to command.

Different people exercise different powers, so as to prevent generals from moving troops at will.

The Tiger Charm must be used to mobilize troops. The tiger talisman is a military talisman used by the emperor to dispatch troops, a token made of bronze or gold in the shape of a tiger, split into two halves, half of which is handed over to the general, and the other half is kept by the emperor.

In order to firmly control the military power in the hands of the rulers, almost every dynasty will make corresponding reforms to the military system, and strengthen the control of military generals in the system.

For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, wars were frequent, and all the people were soldiers; later, there was also the compulsory military service system and the government military system. The integration of soldiers and peasants, wartime expeditions, and leisure farming. Later, there was also a government military system, that is, a mercenary system. On the one hand, it can close the relationship between soldiers and generals, unite people's hearts, and improve combat effectiveness. But, on the other hand, it will also lead to the emergence of warlords.

And now, His Majesty is extremely relieved about the current captain. The military power is dispatched by the Taiwei, and I have heard that His Majesty is so gracious to the Taiwei that he can tear the earth and seal the king, and the hereditary replacement.

Didn't Your Majesty think that if one day, Taiwei rebelled, and Daqin would change hands in an instant. ”

Emperor Tianqing smiled slightly and said: "There is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people." Since I believe that it is just a military power, I don't care about it. ”

Dugu Feiyang opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty is so bold, what the three brothers said is very good, then I will talk about Confucianism."

Confucianism believes that the best way to govern a country is to "uphold virtue and propriety".

In other words, in governing the country, we should first practice morality and use the moral ideas of the ruler to educate and restrain the ruled, so that the latter will consciously accept the morality advocated by the ruler and achieve social stability; "Morality" and "propriety" complement each other to jointly build a harmonious social and political order.

In addition to attaching importance to moral education, promising kings in the past dynasties generally attached importance to public opinion, selected talents and used abilities, and rewarded and punished strictly.

Successive dynasties have attached great importance to the establishment and improvement of the system of personnel selection and appointment. In the past, it was all a probationary system, but now His Majesty has established the imperial examination system, and the system of electing officials has gradually been standardized and institutionalized, providing opportunities for ordinary people to participate in the governance of the country.

At present, the main criteria for the election of officials have gradually developed from family background, property, and family background to talent and learning, and the selection method has gradually become more rigorous and scientific, and has gradually tended to be open, fair, and objective. I have to say that Your Majesty's move is really powerful.

Fu'an thought has a long history and was an important part of the imperial government.

Politicians and thinkers of all generations have realized that the issue of people's livelihood is an issue that has a bearing on the fundamental overall situation of the country's management of chaos and security, and that if we want the country's long-term peace and stability, it is necessary to ensure the people's basic source of livelihood and make the people prosperous. ”

After Dugu Feiyang finished speaking, Emperor Tianqing then nodded and said: "Very good, every word said by the four family masters has grasped the most important part, I have benefited a lot, and I have thanked you in advance." ”

Then Emperor Tianqing picked up the wine glass and said, "I salute you with a glass of turbid wine. ”

Emperor Tianqing raised his glass, and the four people naturally raised their glasses together, and the five people drank this cup. After drinking, the five put down their glasses.

Emperor Tianqing smiled slightly and said: "When I returned to the imperial capital this time, I saw tens of thousands of soldiers and several Saint Realm masters besieging the imperial capital. I heard that it is a person from the four great families......"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them paused, they knew that the main event was coming. Before the four of them could speak, Emperor Tianqing continued to speak: "But I don't believe it, although I have never seen the four family masters, but I know that the hearts of the four family masters are with me, with the Great Qin Dynasty, and with the thousands of Great Qin people. ”

TVXQ said: "That's nature, thank you for your trust." Someone must have framed us. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said, "I naturally know that I believe in the four family masters. ”

After saying that, Di Tianqing gently touched the cup with his hand, and Di Tianqing continued to speak: "The hearts of the four family heads are with me, with the Great Qin Dynasty, and with the thousands of Great Qin people, right?"

I need the four heads of the family to repeat my words, so that I can feel at ease!"

The four of them looked at each other, only to see TVXQ nodding slightly.

The four masters spoke together and said: "Our heart is naturally with Your Majesty, with the Great Qin Dynasty, and with the thousands of Great Qin people. ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a drop of essence blood of the four masters left their bodies, and disappeared in an instant, and the moment the essence blood disappeared, the four masters only felt that everything they had actually had a feeling of blood connection with the Great Qin Dynasty.

At this moment, the four masters were furious, and they actually fell for the trick. Nangong Moli jumped up violently, looked at Emperor Tianqing and said, "Okay, you little emperor, we have endured you again and again, and you even plotted against me." Today, I don't want this life. ”

As soon as Nangong Moli's voice fell, TVXQ, Liu Yiming, and Dugu Feiyang all got up.

The breath of the four people was released to the extreme, the cultivation of the seventh stage of the Great Emperor Realm of One Water. Four powerful breaths were released without suppression.

How powerful is the aura of the powerhouse of the Four Great Emperor Realms, and the moment the aura is released, the hearts of the people in the entire imperial capital are suppressed by this breath.

Emperor Tianqing looked at the four of them and smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the aura of the four people was suppressed. The four of them snorted and sat back in their chairs in an instant.

The powerful aura of the four disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while the heads of the four great families were shocked beyond measure.

With such an understatement of his hand, he actually suppressed the breath of the four people. Its strength is terrifying.

Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said, "If I want to kill you, it will only be at the snap of my fingers, but I don't want to do so. I have accepted your essence and blood, and it is a contract between you and me.

If I want to, I can forcibly take a drop of your essence blood in an instant, and I am acting in secret, just to give you a step, I hope you understand.

Besides, you should also know about the changes in the Desolate Realm! Ten years, there are still ten years, and when I don't want the alien race to attack on a large scale, my Star Luo Continent has no strength to resist.

Now, Great Qin dominates the world and resists the changes after ten years, which is the trend of the times.

The choices you make today will determine your future destiny. The future is bound to be dark, a time of heavy snowfall.

Destiny is like the ups and downs of the sea, like the long veins in the palm of the hand.

Today, the choices you make may or may not be right. But I am here, and I will give you the greatest protection. ”

Di Tianqing's voice fell, and the heads of the four great families still did not speak.

Emperor Tianqing didn't care, and continued to speak: "My contract is not only about you, but also about everyone in your four great families.

If you betray Great Qin, the entire clan of the four great families will be buried in the land of the Nine Secluded Places. ”

As soon as he heard Emperor Tianqing's words, the calm expressions of the heads of the four great families finally changed.

At this point now, personal life and death are no longer important. Only the interests of the family, the rise and fall of the family are crucial.

And Emperor Tianqing's hand is also pinched on the lifeblood of the heads of the four great families. For the heads of the four great families, threatening him with their lives may not have the slightest effect.

But the family is different, everything in the family is higher than their life, above everything in them.
