Chapter 207: Five Thousand Years of Decay (5)

Qin Mu sat down and said sadly: "I did hear about these things when the old minister was still in a relatively low position before, and then I heard some of them occasionally, but I really didn't know that the situation was so serious...... As for the matter of [Daughter Country], it is really unheard of to be so mad and destroy humanity. ”

Emperor Xuanyuan nodded, since Qin Mu became the prime minister more than twenty years ago, it is natural that someone will take the initiative to stop these filthy things from what he has heard and seen, and he himself has also deliberately stayed away from these things, so it is normal not to know about these.

Emperor Xuanyuan spoke, his expression calm, as if he was really talking, and he did not force himself to be bitter silently.

"Prime Minister, General, in fact, I have occasionally thought about a problem before, but I have never thought about it as deeply as I do today, I think you are in charge of imperial affairs, governing and arbitrating disputes between countries under heaven, and a Chang Marshal army has punished and adjudicated many countries, and you should also have thoughts on this issue!"

"Since the Holy Ancestor laid the foundation of Xuanyuan civilization, more than 5,000 years, there have been too many powerful countries to rise, the heroes are innumerable, and there are many wonderful ideas in the political system, but the longest country is only more than 800 years, and it has encountered crises several times, if it is not for the opportunity of heaven, or meet the virtuous ministers and good generals, or meet the lord of Zhongxing, it has already perished, and from now, it has been more than 2,000 years old.

Those hegemonic powers, in the first one or two thousand years of civilization, focused on swallowing land and expanding territory, and those founding ancestors, Zhongxing overlords, all they wanted was to continue to fight and expand their territory, and the largest even reached more than a dozen roads at the peak, but that's all, and the bigger the territory, the faster the perishe, and many of them didn't even wait for the death of this hegemon, and the vast territory instantly collapsed and was torn apart.

Later, the hegemonic powers gradually summed up the law, knowing that ruling the land of five or six roads with their greatest ability was the limit, and took the initiative to curb the instinctive ambition for expansion, but even so, it was still impossible to escape destruction, but it was just a few more years to live......

In this way, the only exception is the Tian Yuan Empire and the Four Ancient Dynasties under the protection of the Empire.

Our 5,000-year course of ups and downs, although there have been tribulations, but there is still no sign of decay until now, and the kingdom of the heavens, even if some countries are lucky and have Ming lords and benevolent monarchs from generation to generation, it is still difficult to escape a cycle of life and death for hundreds of years, even if the benevolent monarchs and Ming lords have to be slaves of the country.

Such a stark contrast naturally makes people think in their heartsβ€”could it be that the Tian Yuan Empire is really a gift from heaven, or is it that the monarchs, subjects, and even the political system are too superior to other countries?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanyuan laughed at himself and said:

In fact, as soon as this idea is born, we can feel its absurdity, and it is impossible to be true of nature.

Tracing back to the roots, we also know that this is not the case, we are just lucky and born in the Tian Yuan Empire, and the reason why the Tian Yuan Empire and even the Four Ancient Dynasties have not been destroyed so far is only one reason, everything is the legacy of the Holy Ancestor!"

Qin Mu, Yu Chiba just listened quietly, did not speak, and Emperor Xuanyuan had no intention of communicating with them for the time being, he just said his understanding calmly.

"We have long known that life and death are the truth of the world. Not to mention individuals, even the world cannot be extricated, let alone a country.

Therefore, it is normal to be born and die, and those who are forcibly immortal like the Tianyuan Empire and the Four Ancient Dynasties, and even those who are forcibly resurrected after being extinguished, are deformities and freaks. ”

"In my opinion, there are deaths and births in the kingdom of heaven every day, which is a sign of the vitality of civilization, which is carrying out a healthy metabolism.

I don't know if there is a form of government that does not produce ugliness and shadows, and I have never seen all the politicians in the whole country, whether they are kings and ministers, all abandon their selfish thoughts, and are dedicated to the public and honest and self-controlled.

And ugliness and shadows, selfish desires and greed can continue to accumulate and precipitate, and when they gather in the depths, it is the stench, it is rot, the destruction of an old country, the birth of a new country, is to cut the flesh and sores of civilization, and ruthlessly remove those rancid and festering parts. ”

"Suppose one day, when civilization has become sluggish and numb to its own flesh-cutting and sore-cutting actions.

Well, the civilization itself is not far from death. ”

"And since we are not superior to other countries' political systems, and our officials are not more noble than other countries, it is conceivable that this empire that has not been destroyed for more than 5,000 years and has never really been cleaned up, under the glossy surface, how much rot is hidden?!"

"I even thought that if this 'rot' could also be manipulated, it would definitely be the most powerful killer weapon in our empire and even the entire Tian Yuan world. Haha"

Emperor Xuanyuan laughed twice for his brain, but Qin Mu and Wei Chiba didn't smile at all, they listened carefully, and a chill faintly arose in their hearts, I don't know if it was because of the degree of rot and accumulation described by Emperor Xuanyuan, or because he said several times as if nothing happened, "Cut the flesh and mend the sores".

"This situation is similar to that of the Four Ancient Dynasties, however, they have all had the experience of being forcibly 'treated' several times, whether it is being destroyed and then forcibly resurrected by the Empire or later changing the 'Family Law' The combing of the Imperial Forceful Behavior may not be as good as those cases where the old country is destroyed and the new country is born, but I believe that the degree of decay is much shallower than that of the Empire. ”

"And the empire, there are only two real crises, the first time is to be destroyed by the powerful country next to it, but the male lord only washed the Taizong Miao descendants in blood, and there is no infringement on those noble and famous families, and it can even be said to be very courteous, and the second crisis is to be usurped by a powerful minister, but the whole of the noble family is almost undisturbed.

It can be said that if this whole is also regarded as a life, it is as long as the empire, and it is also the same deformity. ”

"Actually, I believe that with the wisdom and foresight of the Holy Ancestor, if it were possible, he would not have been knighted in China. But limited to the conditions at that time and even now, without such a reward for future generations, it is not enough to reward meritorious service, and it is even more difficult to mobilize people's hearts, so this is a last resort, right?!

And even if he is knighted, the Holy Ancestor will never allow hereditary replacement, retirement with the country, leaving an iron rule of demotion from generation to generation, which at least ensures that one or two generations of each noble knighthood family must rise up and make a difference every four or five generations.

Otherwise, if it is really hopeless, then it will really fall back into the ranks of the common people, and at that time, we will want to stand at the height of the past again, not to mention ten times and a hundred times the effort, even if it is a thousand times and ten thousand times, it is delusional if there is no good opportunity. ”

"In addition, the Holy Ancestor stipulates that all those who are engaged in politics and want to enter the ruling sequence of the court, regardless of their background, must go through the education of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Level 4 Academy, and they must have excellent performance, which barely maintains the vitality of the empire. ”

"The empire is still in a half-stiff, half-dead state. ”

"But in the bones, it's really rotten. ”

In the end, Emperor Xuanyuan still couldn't stop sighing and shook his head.
