Chapter Ninety-Nine: System

Everyone saw that the most vocal person in the room was ready to speak, and they looked at the Spartan king expectantly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Democracy can certainly constrain the power of the king, but the power of division will bring too many ills, and it is not a matter of course to avoid corruption altogether.

Leonidas didn't really agree that democracy was the best option, and he thought of the old and memocratic senators, and the filthy priests on the Holy Mountain.

"One of the biggest drawbacks of democracy is that the state is too inefficient, and what most people think is right is not necessarily the truth. ”

This sentence breaks through the flaws of the democratic system.

As had been the case at the Battle of Thermopulae a few years earlier, when the Spartan Senate did not agree to go on the expedition. That's why Leonidas was forced to hold on to his death determination and take three hundred warriors to stop the enemy.

Although he did not say this explicitly, everyone present understood what he was trying to say. In a democratic republic, there will inevitably be too many opinions and too many arguments.

There are too many different voices in a country, which can greatly reduce the cohesion of a country, which is the fundamental reason why Greece, which is known for its civilization, has not been able to truly become a powerful empire.

On the other hand, the Persian Empire, which had an absolute monarchy.

They have several eloquent kings one after another, and there will only be one voice of the king in the whole country, so their cohesiveness can be seen in their words and deeds, and they have risen to become a super empire in a hundred years.

However, although this system is highly enforced, it also has one of the biggest problems.

That is, the problem that the Babylonian people feared at the beginning, which breeds corruption. Again, as the old saying goes, absolute power brings absolute corruption.

Who can guarantee that a king who has no checks and balances will not turn bad in the future?

In a dilemma, Ling Zifeng suddenly laughed, he stood up and said confidently to everyone: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds!" ”

"Oh?! What's the solution? Everyone was amazed and asked him one after another.

Ling Zifeng smiled mysteriously and said, "The method can't be said directly for the time being, I must be allowed to talk to Princess Mo Sandi alone before making a decision." ”

Mo Sandi was slightly stunned, a little confused by his sudden words.

She didn't understand what Ling Zifeng wanted to talk to herself about alone, but before she could react quickly, she was already pushed by Ling Zifeng and walked out of the hall.

The two of them left the meeting hall in full view of everyone, and the people in the hall stared at each other with big eyes and unpredictable.

They didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in Ling Zifeng's gourd, but when they saw the two leave, everyone again enthusiastically discussed the question of democracy or dictatorship.

It turned out that Ling Zifeng had really thought of a way to get the best of both worlds just now.

If he wants to say this method, he still thought of inspiration from a web novel he read.

In that novel, there was a powerful empire that chose absolute monarchy at the beginning of its existence.

And this empire's method of ensuring that its emperor will not be corrupted, or not so easily corrupted, can be described as very clever.

They use a power above the emperor to restrain the corruption of the emperor. However, what kind of existence is this power?

The power above the emperor naturally does not belong to the world, but to a group of masters who can practice.

That is, those cultivators who have the power of ten thousand enemies, these masters are usually only obsessed with cultivation, and they do not care about worldly affairs and politics at all.

As soon as the emperor of this empire deviated slightly from his proper duty, these cultivators would intervene.

Think about it, how can a worldly king fight against a cultivator outside the world?

So the kings of this empire always have in their hearts something called "awe", so that absolute power no longer brings absolute corruption.

So this empire has to stand for a thousand years.

Of course, these practitioners are not just monitoring the actions of the emperor, they are also tasked with defending the country. When the country encounters a catastrophe that the worldly forces cannot handle, they will not hesitate to shed their blood for the empire.

In this way, they are both watchers and guardians, or guardians for short.

But for all of this to happen, two more conditions are necessary. First of all, these out-of-world practitioners cannot interfere in politics; Then, they have to live for a long time.

Oh~ By the way, the empire mentioned here is called "Tang Dynasty", and the place where cultivators gather is called "Academy".

And there is an old man in the "academy" who has lived for a long, long time, and everyone else calls him "Master". The master is as high as the sky, and he is the guardian of the Tang Dynasty, so the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very in awe.

In short, it is to use a power that is beyond the world to protect and intimidate the king of the country.

Ling Zifeng thought of such a solution, as for Babylon's transcendent worldly power, there is one of the most perfect candidates, that is, the princess Mo Sandi.

The reason why he asked Mo Sandi to talk about this matter alone was because he wanted her to be the guardian of Babylon.

As for why Mosandi is suitable, there are several reasons.

First of all, as long as Mo Sandi agrees to enter the main god space, he can continue to drink the elixir, and the condition of living long enough will be satisfied.

Secondly, in the main god space, Mo Sandi's strength will inevitably evolve and improve, and eventually reach the level of a worldly master, which is naturally not an incredible thing.

In the end, she could return to this plane at any time through the exchange and monitor the future actions of the Babylonian royal family, and she was the guardian.

Moreover, this became Ling Zifeng's abduction of girls。。。。。。 Ah no, it's the best reason to win him into the team.

So after the two came to a secret room, Ling Zifeng roughly explained his origin to Mo Sandi. Explain the main god space, where did you learn your magic ability, and so on.

Subsequently, he carefully communicated with Mo Sandi about the above views on the guardians of the empire.

After listening to his explanation, Mo Sandi frowned and said, "Brother Ling turned out to be from another world, no wonder he could predict so many things in advance. ”

Ling Zifeng nodded, and said solemnly: "These are not important, now is the critical time to decide the national policy of Babylon, Momo, you have to think about it." ”

Mo Sandi bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Brother Ling, I don't know how to choose for a while, can you let me think about it for a while?" ”

Ling Zifeng said helplessly: "I will leave in half a month, and I don't know when I will come back." Whether you are willing to go to the main god space with me will only be considered within this half month. ”

"Leaving so soon? Why didn't Brother Ling stay a little longer? ”

"I also want to stay longer, but the restrictions of the Lord God make me have to leave, and if I leave, you will never get the elixir again, and I will only be afraid of 。。。。。。 when I come back next time."

Ling Zifeng's words were not finished, but the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear.

When he returns to this place again, I don't know how many years will be in the future, and it will be a question of whether the little beauty is still alive by then.

Mo Sandi's mood is indeed very conflicted now, on the one hand, she really doesn't want to make such a hasty decision to leave her homeland.

On the other hand, these methods mentioned by Ling Zifeng are indeed the best of both worlds.
