Chapter 811: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping
It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that a few glasses of liquor had just been eaten, and the people in the pavilion finally woke up from the shock of reading the manuscript at the beginning, and everyone looked at Zhao Xing with an expression of looking at the saint.
It seems that he has long been accustomed to being watched by the stars like the moon, Zhao Xing's face is not red, and he makes a joke without his heart: "How is it, are you impressed by my greatness and sublimity?"
"Poof......" Li Jinsi, who was drinking with his head down, squirted out. Although there were other people in the pavilion, Li Jinsi couldn't care so much, and he was really stimulated by his cousin's stinky fart.
In this way, the atmosphere in the pavilion, which was originally somewhat depressing, became a little more relaxed.
Pang Tong spoke first: "I agree with the way of dividing the seven-level administrative structure from the central government to the lowest level in the future, which can not only effectively control the entire country, but also avoid too many redundant officials and idle officials. However, in this way, the vested interests of many families will inevitably be deprived, because in the future, officials at all levels will need to be appointed by the upper or second levels, and it is not a lifelong and hereditary system. ”
Zhao Xing seems to have thought about this problem for a long time, he replied: "As long as it is reform, it will involve the issue of redistribution of interests, and the family has always not been the backbone of the nation's prosperity, but the source of national trouble, so in my plan, the restrictions on the family can be seen everywhere." ”
Li Ru then said: "If the restructuring is carried out according to Guochang's plan, although the emperor will still be the king of a country in the future, he will only have the power to mobilize the army, and it will not be easy for the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet to be emptied? Moreover, because the military salaries and materials needed by the army need to be paid for from the government council, and the resettlement of veterans and the recruitment of new recruits are also the responsibility of the local government, even the power of the army will be weakened. ”
Zhao Xing was very appreciative of this sensitive question raised by Li Ru, and he replied: "Everyone must wonder in their hearts how I can formulate a plan that may restrict myself or future generations in the future, right?
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Zhao Xing continued: "What is the so-called Son of Heaven? It is just a title to fool the people under the pretense of heaven! Everyone has seen Liu Rong, the king of Jin, and Liu Qian, the king of Liang, have you found that they are more different from your and my children? Different from the children of ordinary people? No! Although they were once the sons of Liu Hong, the emperor of Han Ling, they only have two eyes and a mouth! If I hadn't tried to rescue them, they might still be pinched in the hands of others now, and it would be better to die!"
"There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs', what is the difference between the so-called emperor, the true son of heaven, and the supreme of the Ninety-Five, in the eyes of the heavens, and the grass dogs? What is the difference between them and ordinary people? The common people and ministers pin their hopes for the prosperity of the country on one person, and this is a very ridiculous thing! If we do not strip off the mysterious cloak that covers the emperor and do not reduce the privileges in the hands of the emperor to the minimum, will the bustling people in the world still want to be the emperor themselves?
Zhao Xing seems to recall countless ugly pictures of how those emperors in later generations fooled the people and regarded the people as grass mustard, but always put themselves on the moral and ethical high ground and did whatever they wanted.
What Li Ru didn't know was that the emperor's errand was really not something that everyone wanted to do in the future. At least in many countries, people would rather be lawyers and dentists than play on stage every day, telling lies and sitting on the throne of the supremacy of the country. That is to say, in some countries, even in the 21st century, they are still official-oriented, and they are still feudal from top to bottom, and once they gain power, they will seek all kinds of privileges and seek all kinds of improper interests and benefits.
After Zhao Xingyang said the big truth that the emperor was not bullshit, he looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes. Zhao Xing asked a little sneeringly, "What?
Li Jinsi said with a "wicked smile": "Hehe, cousin, you are right. But I now know why you don't want to be the emperor, and I feel that your appearance is to slap the emperors of the past dynasties!"
Lu Meng held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but interject and said: "I think, since King Pingxi wants to create a new royal law system, you will still have to sit on the throne of the emperor in the future, although you have not been cut to have many privileges, but if you don't take the lead in person, how can anyone abide by it later?"
"That's, that's it, since you want to make a cocoon, then you must be the first one to be put into the shell!" Li Jinsi coaxed on the side.
Zhao Xing was speechless for a while, it sounded like he would have to be tied to the emperor's throne in the future, and he would not be free for many years.
It was Pang Tong's subordinates who jumped the topic, and he said: "Since this is a road that has never been walked before, it is naturally not something that a few of us can finally settle, or wait until the future unifies Huaxia and gathers many virtuous people to sit down and agree together!"
Zhao Xing was reminded by Pang Tong's words, and suddenly remembered the very famous political consultative conference in later generations. He felt that it was very necessary to hold such a conference in the future, so that with the wisdom of all the people, he could always find a good way to make the country stable and prosperous for the long term.
"Today, let's let you understand it first, and think about it slowly in your heart, but you are not in a hurry to set these important matters. That's all for the long run, let's analyze next year's guidelines and strategies. Zhao Xing ended the conversation in stages and brought the topic to the current situation.
At the mention of the current matter, Li Jinsi suddenly came to his senses, immediately stood up, took the file folder that had been prepared long ago from the hands of the shadow team members behind him, and explained the current situation to everyone in a loud voice:
"According to the report of the Shadow Northeast Bureau, the situation in the entire Northeast has been initially calmed down, and the remnants of the Wuren and Liaodong Xianbei have been eradicated, and there will be no more Karasuma and Xianbei titles, and the Goguryeo people, the Zhan people, the Mahan people, and the Chenhan people will be compressed in the narrow space from the Changbai Mountains to the east of Mazishui, just north of the Great Ridge, and it will be completely pacified in less than two years. ”
"According to the report of the Shadow Northwest Bureau, the current situation in the Western Regions is stable, after the destruction of the Wusun Kingdom, the rest of the Western Regions are all in danger, and more than a dozen small countries in southern Xinjiang have successively sent envoys to Yuanqu City, requesting that they be brought under the account of the King of Pingxi and treated as Yanqi State. ”
"According to the report of the Shadow Southwest Bureau, there is a high suspicion that the plague that occurred in the Xiliang area a few days ago is artificially transmitted, and Sima Yi is seriously suspected. In addition, the Sima family's military operations in the southwest of Yizhou have made progress and have now extended their tentacles further south of Yongchang (in Burma). ”
"According to the report of the Shadow East China Bureau, Yuan Shu said that after the matter of the king was known all over the city, he has now temporarily died down, but he still does not seem to give up; Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Liu Bei of Luoyang have been very secretive a few days ago and seem to be secretly carrying out major actions; Liu Biao of Jingzhou has been sick and emotionally abnormal recently, and is considering the matter of his heir; Liu Yan of Yuzhou seems to want to go to Luoyang as an official and return Yuzhou to the imperial court......"
As Li Jinsi read down one by one, everyone began to frown and think about it again.
