Chapter 103: Zhan Ding's Judgment

Zhan Ding seems to have returned to his youthful and frivolous era, remembering that he met Liu Bowen several times. sighed and said, "My whole life has been on Fang Gong, and I certainly don't want to be used by Fang Gong. But people, sometimes they don't have a choice. After meeting adults, I thought I could make a career, but I never thought that there would be no day off."

"Adult genius is the way of economy. Nothing like no other. In the future, Guanzi, Sang Hongyang, after the fifth wonder, the adults should be the best candidates." Zhan Ding said, "I'm too far away from adults here. There is nothing to teach adults, it's just that I have been obsessed for several years, and I have experienced the competition for power at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. There are also some experiences. I'm just going to ask you one thing?"

"My lord, do you want to rebel?"

He Xi was taken aback, he couldn't figure out Zhan Ding's logic at all, and said, "Why did Mr. say this?"

Zhan Ding said, "It seems that the adults are not ready to rebel, so I will leave a place for the adults next to my grave, and they will not be alone in the underground in the future."

He Xi frowned and said, "Sir, you have something to say, don't be so weird."

Zhan Ding said, "This is what I have to say, my lord, the law created is not something I can evaluate. But what you are doing is something I can see through, and after Your Majesty dies, it will be your death."

He Xi calmed down instead.

If Zhan Ding is really talking nonsense. He Xi didn't care. And what Zhan Ding said directly hit He Xi's hidden worries.

Zhu Yuanzhang will die. In the post-Zhu Yuanzhang era, where will he go?

However, He Xi was just worried, and he didn't feel that after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he really couldn't live. There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, since Zhan Ding said so. He Xi also wanted to hear what reason Zhan Ding had.

He Xi said, "Would you like to hear about it?"

Zhan Ding said, "My lord, what do you think of the change?"

Reform? Isn't that what He Xi is doing now. He Xi was silent for a while, and then said, "Changing the law is the redistribution of interests. A reshuffling of power."

Zhan Ding didn't say it right, nor did he say it wrong. Instead, he said, "In my opinion, the essence of changing the law is to recreate the world."

"Reinvent the world?" He Xi pondered for a moment and felt that he couldn't say that it was wrong. The whole ruling class is going to shake the change. It is not an exaggeration to recreate the world.

Zhan Ding continued, "Since ancient times, it is impossible to change the law without mentioning two changes. The first Shang martingale changed the law, and the second Wang Anshi changed the law. And thinking about the two changes, you have to ask two questions first, why did Shang Ying die? Why did Wang Anshi quit?"

"If you think that the contradiction between Shang Ying and Xinjun is too shallow. The reason is very simple: if you want to succeed in changing the law, you must seize the power of the world and use it. Maybe Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying can know each other and become one with each other, but Shang Ying is still used by the fake Qin Xiaogong's monarchy, and now that the new monarch has ascended the throne and does not kill Shang Ying, where is the monarch's power?"

"Shang Ying's change of law affected the localities, and he set up a county system, so it can be said that the local people are all Shang Ying's protégés and former officials, not to mention the army. The military system of the Qin Dynasty was determined by Shang Ying. Do you think Shang Ying will have no one in the army?"

"There are no two days, what is not to die?"

"Wang Anshi's resignation? Is there something wrong with the new law implemented by Wang Anshi? No, after Wang Anshi's resignation, Song Shenzong is still implementing changes, but everything is based on his own ruling. The reason is also very simple, that is, it was Song Shenzong who wanted to change the law. When he first ascended the throne, he naturally had to borrow important ministers and use it, and after a few years, Song Shenzong felt that he could control the court, and he felt that Wang Anshiquan was a threat to the world. Naturally, there will be a day of resignation. This is also thanks to the family law of the Song Dynasty."

"And the law of the Great Ming, was it set by His Majesty alone?"

"No, it's not. It was His Majesty who did it in order to gather people's hearts. I was Fang Guozhen's staff back then, and many things are very clear. Your Majesty, of course, has a magnificent spirit, but also a heart of forbearance. The emperor is not happy to do things. There is a sentence that is right, the world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one person, the Ming people, the Ming people, and not the Ming of His Majesty. Your Majesty, the founder of the country, is majestic and far-reaching. Your Majesty is in a day, and adults can do anything. As soon as Your Majesty goes, your Excellency will be—"

talk too much

Ding doesn't say anything here. But the implication is clear.

He Xi said, "You mean, this change will not be done?"

Zhan Ding said, "So I said, are you ready to rebel? If you want to rebuild the world, you still have to speak with the sword."

He Xi sighed, he somewhat understood Zhan Ding's words.

Perhaps there are some discrepancies between He Xi's understanding and Zhan Ding's thoughts. However, the conclusions are unanimous.

First of all, to understand what an emperor is? What is Imperial Power?

There are some historical sayings that Chinese civilization was formed by water control. No one can cure the water. Huge crowds are needed. Large-scale public works are needed. It requires a huge organizational structure, and it is not a city-state feud that can be completed.

Centralization is inevitable.

And the imperial power came into being.

The essence of imperial power is people's need for public power. It takes one person to organize, to use a huge amount of public power. Improve and create an environment suitable for human survival. This is to rule the world with one man.

But this is only one side of imperial power.

The other side of imperial power is the family world, which is privately owned by the family. Zhu Yuanzhang felt for a long time that this world belonged to the Zhu family. In thinking about the Zhu family, there are more things in the world than in the world. That is, to serve one person, or one clan, under heaven.

Of course, the ancients said, "One man will rule the world, not one man under heaven." Just the ideal situation. One person rules the world, and one person serves the world. That's the real thing.

There is a contradiction here.

The emperor's legal system comes from blood and from the legal system. Comes from tradition. And such a thing as changing the law is to use public power to change the laws of social operation. Even change the legal system, change the tradition.

What is the public power of society? It is the true face of imperial power. Without controlling this power, it is very difficult to adjust and reform the production and life of the entire society. And this power is the most important right of the emperor. And this move is digging the foundation of the emperor.

Therefore, most of the mature feudal dynastic changes failed.

Some small-scale improvements may be successful. But it was not enough to restore the decline of the dynasty. z.br>

From this point of view, in China, it is easier to make a revolution than to change the law.

You can't do things without power, and after you have power, the first thing to challenge is the emperor himself. Is Zhang Juzheng still so miserable after his death? It was Zhang Juzheng who challenged the imperial power, not the phase, but the photo. This sentence is enough to make Zhang Juzheng's death a pity.

As for what Zhang Juzheng did? It doesn't matter at all.

In addition, Confucianism itself is the most conservative faction, and it feels that the first king is good at everything. Whatever you do, you have to be the king of the law. In this case, the change of law caused a fierce struggle. What will it look like? He Xi is also predictable.

Perhaps, talking on the knife and gun, it is very likely to happen.

"There may be a lot of people in Jiangnan, waiting to punish me." He Xi said with a sigh.

Zhan Ding was also excited, took out a box from under the pillow, and stroked it for a while. Said, "Your Excellency. Back then, I knew that Fang Guozhen was not the master, but now I know that the adult is the master. If the adult had been born thirty years earlier, I would have assisted the adult to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang, and now, I am old. But there are still some family funds that are handed over to adults. This is a place where I am dedicated to the investigation of various places in the north, and the topography of the mountains and rivers in various places can be captured. and the local mountain bandit sect, although the founding of the country, comes, the imperial court has repeatedly attacked, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. Adults only need to allocate some weapons, and they will naturally cause trouble, especially Shandong, Shandong and Shanxi are few densely populated places in the north, although many people have moved out, but their original structure has not changed much. The sect is hidden deep enough."

"Enough for adults."

At this moment, Zhan Ding seemed to see Liu Bowen, and he secretly said in his heart, "Senior Liu, I'm not as good as you. It's not that I'm not as talented as you, and Fang Guozhen is not as good as Your Majesty, and now although I don't have any years, I can still leave these things to the male lord, I want to see if the world will be surnamed Zhu or what's in the world?"

Zhan Ding looked at He Xi like this. I like He Xi to be able to respond to him.
