Chapter 51 The Game of Kingship
Jin Ge Iron Horse responded to the situation, drunk and lying in the glacier and falling into a dream, this time it can be said that Jingzhou was careless.
Wang Changlin can be said to have reaped the consequences, and these disasters were all brought on by himself.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the prince of Wei Guo called for the usurpation of his brother Wei Huan, and he recruited Song, Chen, Cai and other countries to attack Zheng State.
Lu Yingong asked the doctor what Zhong Zhong thought of this matter, and Zhong Zhong said that such a cruel person would betray his relatives, and the use of soldiers was like using fire, and he would burn himself if he didn't know how to restrain himself.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the Patriots killed Zhou Hu with the help of Chen.
Wang Changlin, like Zhou Hu, reaped the consequences, he originally helped the King of Shahai kill the second prince's subordinates, subverted the rebellion of the second prince, and killed the blood-clothed holy envoy, and destroyed the three major gang leaders of the Shaying Gang, and now he is turning around to protect the second prince and the ninth prince, which is undoubtedly playing with fire!
In his eyes, many powerful people were played with by him, but did he really think that royal power was child's play?
When their class returned to the court, King Shahai wanted to do something to Wang Changlin, but he still had thoughts in his heart, mistakenly thinking that it was a mistake in the intelligence, but now it seems that this is really the case!
These days, continuous intelligence has been sent, and the identity of Wang Changlin, the fourth commander of the Black Armor Army in Dragon City, is not uncommon, even if the King of the Sand Sea has compassion, he can't change this fact.
Even, they were lucky enough to survive the battle of the Black Gold Mine in Hades Mountain, and after so many days of tossing and turning, they finally returned to the Sand Sea King City scarred, and every word they said was deeply recorded in the heart of the Sand Sea King, and even more so that several super masters were shot and killed by this Four Commanders!
Now, the King of the Sand Sea had to suspect Wang Changlin's intention to lurk in the Sand Sea Kingdom, even if he had helped him before, he had to just in case, and even sent his closest person, his own brother Fifth Prince, to capture Wang Changlin.
The Seven Princes were all under house arrest, and now that the entire royal city was under the control of the Sand Sea King, he would not let anything like this happen again.
Self-defeating, Wang Changlin himself was too careless, he thought that he would not be discovered so soon in the place between the two states, who would have thought that he would encounter so many things in the Shahai King City, and even forgot such an important thing as hiding his identity.
The sixth prince Sha Yaochen has a very high prestige among the royal family, and even surpasses the king of Shahai, and now that he has found Wang Changlin, who may be the murderer, how could many Sha Yaochen's supporters of the royal family let him go so easily!
In the battle for royal power, merit and demerit can never be compensated, even if King Shahai has an attitude of inner approval of Wang Changlin's killing of the six princes, but the surface work still needs to be done more completely.
Therefore, why does the emperor always have to kill meritorious officials? The reason is very simple, just like the three concubines divide the money, the one who will benefit will always be the first person, and the one who is the leader, whoever has the right to dominate, can seek greater private interests in the distribution of interests.
In the feudal system of a dynasty, the lord, duke, and city lord, who can get the greatest benefits, is undoubtedly the emperor of the dynasty.
If the lord of the country, the duke, and the lord of the city divide a hundred gold coins at the same time, when distributing, according to certain rules, they have strict ranks, and the three of them propose the distribution system of gold coins in order of status, the lord of the country mentions it first, the duke mentions it again, and then the lord of the city mentions it last.
There should also be two rules in the proposal of the trio:
First, if the proposal is not approved by a majority (not including half of the majority), then the proposer is executed. After the execution, the remaining two men proceeded to propose in order.
Second, if more than half of the votes pass, then the gold coins will be divided according to the rules of the proposer.
Under this rule, we must first make some assumptions:
First of all, since they are lords, dukes, and city lords, they should all be relatively intelligent, they all know how they should choose to seek greater benefits, and they should also be rational, which means that they take their own maximum benefits as the standard.
Secondly, human nature is inherently evil. Suppose all three of them are evil, and if they can kill people if they can maximize the profits, they all want to put each other to death, why not kill people with a knife?
So the question is, is it dangerous to choose the lord of the country according to the order of the lord, duke, and city lord?
If the lord of the kingdom is chosen first, and both the duke and the lord of the city reject the lord, they can get more gold coins, so the lord of the kingdom is the most dangerous and will be killed?
In fact, this is not the case, if there are only two people left, the duke and the city lord, assuming that the lord of the country has been killed, in this case, no matter what the duke proposes, he will be killed by the city lord, because no matter what the duke proposes, the city lord will deny him, so that the duke will not get more than half of the votes to pass, so the duke will be killed, and the city lord will get all the money.
So can't the duke propose to give all the money to the lord of the city? No, because they still want to kill the other party, so the lord of the city will definitely deny the duke.
Therefore, the duke understands this matter, if only he and the city lord are left, then there must be an ending, and the duke will die.
The duke knew that this would be the result, and he knew it very well, so he only had one decision, he couldn't let the lord die, and he would support the lord no matter what the lord said.
The lord of the country also knows about such a choice, and the lord of the country knows that the duke will definitely support him, so he can say casually, he can ask for all the money, and you don't want the duke and the city lord to take it.
If he said this, the duke would agree, because if he didn't agree, he would die, so if they had more than half of the votes to agree, the lord of the city would not care, whether he agreed or not, he would not get the gold coins.
Therefore, the end result is that all the gold coins are obtained by the lord of the country.
However, now the emperor of the dynasty also has to participate in the game of dividing gold coins, and the emperor must choose before the lord of the country, and the emperor must also know the rules of the game, and know how the lord will choose, the emperor will think, if he dies, the lord of the country can get all the money, how to maximize his own benefits?
In the past, the duke and the city lord couldn't get anything, but now the emperor gave each of them a gold coin, and they should be very grateful, so the emperor simply took ninety-eight gold for himself, the duke and the city lord each took one gold, and the lord of the kingdom didn't take any of them.
Will the duke and the lord of the city agree to this? they will certainly agree, because they know that if the emperor is killed, the lord of the kingdom will take all the gold coins, and they will not get anything.
Therefore, the final result was that the emperor took ninety-eight gold, the duke and the lord of the city each took one gold, and the three of them voted more than half, and whether the lord of the country agreed or not, he could not get the gold coins.
The emperor of the dynasty as the ninety-five, he can find a way that suits him under certain rules, so he has a first-mover advantage, people with a first-mover advantage can often get the greatest benefits, the duke and the city lord are the last to choose, they have little decision-making power, they are at the bottom, but the emperor will win over the duke and the city lord.
Why? Because they are so well co-opted, if they don't have an emperor, they won't get anything. Therefore, the duke and the lord of the city are not in danger, but they also have the lowest benefits, which is the bottom.
The lord of the country is more embarrassed, he is in the middle layer, he can't go up or down, and the result is the most embarrassing.
However, this game was produced under certain rules, and in real life, the lord, duke, and city lord could sit down and drink and discuss together, and no matter what the emperor said, they would kill him, so that each of them would take thirty-three gold, and throw the remaining one gold into the river.
This looks good, but there is a question, they conspired to kill the emperor, will the lord of the country regret it?
If the lord of the kingdom repents, the duke and the lord of the city still won't get anything, so the duke and the lord of the city dare not take this risk.
Since ancient times, emperors have suffered a lot, and they have never been powerful and old enough.
This is exactly the case with the game of kingship, and the ultimate beneficiary is the supreme ruler of power, isn't this exactly the case when Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine?
Wang Changlin has committed the taboo of royal power, he doesn't know how to stand in line, he wants to be ambiguous, plausible, flashy, not yin and yang, is he treating these kings as fools?
In other words, even if Wang Changlin was the fourth commander of the Black Armor Army in Dragon City before, and even if he killed the six princes, he actually indirectly helped King Shahai consolidate his imperial power.
Just because of this, of course the King of the Sand Sea can abandon his previous suspicions, but the key is that since Wang Changlin chose to side with the King of the Sand Sea, why did he hesitate to the second prince, and wanted to be a peacemaker and seek his own interests?
Although Wang Changlin didn't have the slightest idea, as far as the owner of the royal power was concerned, he had too many conspiracies.
Therefore, the king of the sand sea wants to arrest Wang Changlin.
Although Wang Changlin didn't understand it very well, he also had a certain speculation about this matter, and Bai Yuncang didn't know where to go, so in desperation, he turned to the direction of the palace.
Since ancient times, the safest place is the safest place when the so-called lights are dark.
There is a more important reason, Wang Changlin wants to take risks and rescue the Nine Princes.
At this time, the Sand Sea King City was heavily guarded, and due to the turmoil caused by this rebellion, the guard was increased by one level.
For Wang Changlin, who is at the peak of the Great Dao Realm, these guards are like nothing, and there are ant nests on the embankment of thousands of miles, and it is impossible to be impermeable to the wind in the tight walls, and if you climb over the city wall, you will enter the palace.
However, the moment Wang Changlin stepped into the palace, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"There are !! masters"
A cold breath arose from the bottom of my heart!
"It's worthy of the heritage of a kingdom!" Wang Changlin nodded thoughtfully.
According to Chen Daoqing's understanding of the world, if he guessed correctly, I am afraid that there is a super guardian in this palace.
It is impossible for a whole royal family not to have an ancestor-level figure, this kind of character is the pride of the entire royal family, and it is also the Dinghai Divine Needle of a royal family.
They hide in the shadows all their lives, silently guarding the continuation of the royal family, and they will not leave the customs at all unless the royal family is about to fall.
Even if the second prince rebelled, they didn't show up in the slightest!
Didn't Sha Yaotian know that there was such a terrifying existence in the royal city? I'm afraid that many high-ranking members of the royal family knew about it! But why did they still dare to rebel? The only explanation is that these old guys will never intervene in any internal contradictions, because they are all royal blood, and whoever has the ability will occupy the royal power.
The change of phases, the alternation of kingship, the eternal truth.
