Chapter 67: The Royal Way and the Domineering

After leaving the scientists there, Charlen ascended into the sky in Fenrir.

God can be kind to his people, but he must not have too much contact with his followers, which would condemn the image of God to death.

You must know that no matter how deliberately Xia Lian deliberately creates the image of God, it is actually better for them to fantasize about it themselves.

Only distance can produce awe, and Xia Lian wants to leave plenty of "fantasy" space in the hearts of these people.

Of course, it is not completely detached from the believers, and that such a god would be too arrogant.

Xia Lian wants them to be able to get in touch with everything about themselves in all aspects of their lives, even if they can't see themselves.

Sending "from God" is a good option.

To this end, Xia Lian added a "saint" setting to explain why those scientists are so weak.

Xia Lian will also come into the world as a "saint" in the future.

The knowledge in their minds will give them the awe they deserve in these Eternal Night Star people.

Of course, Xia Lian also sent another transhuman to follow them incognito to protect their safety.

Charlen hadn't explained to them why he was an exception, but the Eternal Night Stars had apparently figured out the answer in their own minds, for he was the one who made the rules, not bound by them.

"Your Highness." Aisha looked at the surveillance in front of her and couldn't help but ask, "Will these Eternal Night Stars convince you?" ”

Xia Lian's hands were gently clasped behind his back, and he said with a smile.

"Today's Eternal Night Starmen are still very weak, and they can't even run out of this planet, for a civilization like ours that has already walked in the stars.

Whatever happens inside this planet is under our control.

But ....."

Xia Lian's words paused, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"When we plant the fire of scientific civilization, they will eventually transcend the planet and enter the interstellar space, and there is a slight possibility of getting out of control.

So, loyalty is really something to consider. ”

"Then why are you teaching them this?" Aisha said with some incomprehension.

"Because we're not spending all this time here to colonize this planet, Elsa."

Xia Lian muttered softly.

"What we want is an army."

After a pause, Xia Lian looked at Elsa and smiled.

"Do you know why the Empire, the New Federation, or the Star Sea are so keen to dig up the lost history of mankind?"

Aisha shook her head.

"Because history records civilization, records all the right and wrong paths that our trillions of ancestors have tried for us in these 10,000 years.

Reading history can be wise, you can know human nature, and you can also know the rise and fall.

There are many lessons to be learned from history and solutions to problems. ”

Charlen sat down in Fenrir's command chair and continued.

"Although God and King are two different concepts, the common denominator of their existence is that they are both rulers.

Throughout the changes of dynasties throughout ancient and modern times, whether it is a people's uprising or being replaced by other ambitious elites, the final sentence summed up is "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world." ”

And why did the king lose the hearts of the people?

Naturally, because of the oppression and exploitation of the people, and the people can't live anymore, they naturally have to look forward to a better life through the change of dynasties.

The so-called world, for the people, is just a bowl of rice on the dinner table and a piece of clothing on the body.

The vast majority of people cherish their lives, and if they really can't survive, how can they choose to revolt?

In these cases, some dynasties chose to suppress the rebellion by force after it had occurred.

Other dynasties exercised benevolent government to prevent oppression and exploitation, thus preventing rebellion at the root.

Some scholars in history have summarized the many manifestations of the two, the former is called domineering, and the latter is called the royal way.

In some countries, his hegemony is not only internal, but also external, relying on powerful force and economic pressure to oppress other countries to act according to their wishes and plunder the whole world.

But history has already told us that when the national power is strong, this method can indeed maintain the rule, but once the national power is weakened, the internal and external contradictions will explode at a certain moment and swallow up the whole country.

If you want to rule for a long time, only the royal road is possible.

But what's king? Is it just benevolence? ”

Xia Lian looked at Aisha and then at Mercury, they were all thinking, and he continued to laugh.

"I will not oppress or enslave the people of the Night, I will not force them to do anything.

Instead, I will give them the sunshine they need most, bring warmth, and even give them the knowledge to make their lives richer.

There will be no contradiction between us, because for to me, even if the entire Eternal Night Star is hollowed out, it is not worth mentioning the wealth that the Principality possesses.

And what I want to get out of them is just as little as worth mentioning for them.

I don't force them to follow certain rules, and I don't force them to believe in me.

But I will let these teachers teach basic human morals, such as respecting teachers, such as courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and faith, such as how to be grateful. ”

Xia Lian pondered for a moment and continued.

"The first emotional expression of human beings is maternal love, which comes from the instinct of life continuation in animal genes, and every animal is fragile in its infancy, so it needs to rely on its mother to survive the most dangerous infancy.

Therefore, basically all existing mammals are calf guards, and those animals that do not have calf care behaviors are extinct in the long river of time.

As a higher creature, in order to continue, human beings have extended father's love on the basis of maternal love, and extended the concept of family, tribe and other ethnic concepts and moral concepts.

So, these things that I have them teach these people are universal morality that human beings have carved into their genes.

They will be receptive and will not feel any resistance.

Then, I would ask the teachers to tell me what I had done, not to embellish them, but to let them know that everything they have now is something that I have given them.

With a strong sense of "morality", they will naturally be grateful to me, have great respect, and will naturally be curious to understand me and try to understand my story.

Eventually, they will learn about the afterlife, and they will learn that I, merciful, have given them a chance to live again.

In awe and gratitude, they will naturally believe in me without hesitation, and even gradually become fanatical.

Loyalty gained through oppression and threats is not true loyalty.

Only loyalty that comes from human nature, from the depths of the soul, is, and more eternal. ”

Xia Lian looked at Elsa.

"If you live a prosperous life, you have a happy family, and you live a very happy life, then suddenly one day someone comes to you and says that they will take you with you against the person who brought you these things.

What would you do? ”

"I'll turn him down and report him." Aisha said.

"This is the king's way."

Xia Lian smiled and continued.

"Of course, the royal way is too weak, and there are drawbacks, and domineering can just make up for this drawback.

In other words, domineering can actually be part of the royal road.

Domineering is a sword pointing at the world.

And the domineering that belongs to the royal road is to put the sword into the sheath, but hide the sword in the body.

When I have absolute power in my hands, they will be destroyed if they become my enemies.

When everything they have comes from me, they have a fanatical respect for their hearts, even to the point where they are afraid that if I disappear, everything they have will disappear.

Well, even if there were ambitious rebels among them, the first to oppose them were their people.

They will hate these rebels even more than I do.

At that time, when I pulled out the blade of the sword.

Where my sword is pointing, it is where their hearts are longing. ”
