Chapter 205: The Theory of the Son of Heaven
"The general is really speechless." Zhan Yue sighed, "Now the one in the court is not good enough, so everyone in the world thinks that it should be replaced, and the Jade King seems to be very suitable." But I know a story about a man named Wang Mang, who was like a saint before he ascended the throne, but after he ascended the throne, he was like a different person. He did more harm to the people than the former, so much so that the dynasty changed. ”
Yue Feipeng nodded, "The Jade King is too perfect, so perfect that it is a little unreal, so I have never dared to trust him too much." Do you know why the eldest son inherited the throne instead of selecting the best in all dynasties? ”
Zhan Yue shook his head, even in the era in which he lived before, he was always a virtuous person, even if the boss was demented, it was also him who sat on the throne of the emperor, and Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui was the best example.
Yue Feipeng explained: "The cornerstone of order is stability, and the cornerstone of stability is clear rules. It is an objective fact that the eldest son is the eldest son of the wife; And meritocracy is not, who defines virtuous? Who can judge whether a person is really virtuous? In history, the people who committed rebellion all used the name of the Qing monarch, and then abolished the monarch as unvirtuous. In the end, whoever is strong will decide which meritocracy. And if the eldest son is orthodox, many banners of justice can be avoided, nothing more. A lot of rules that you know are not so correct and not so good are actually because there is no better way. The emperor is not virtuous, you hold high the banner of righteousness to overthrow it, and the world is happy, because the emperor is really unvirtuous, but once it is determined that a virtuous person can be the king, then the future of the country will be completely chaotic. Because today he can be virtuous, tomorrow he can not be virtuous, after all, a person cannot never make mistakes and not be stupid. How long does it take for a wise man to qualify? To what extent does it take to be virtuous? How many unvirtuous things do you need to change the emperor? Who has the final say? ”
"This..."Yue Feipeng's words made Zhan Yue's brows tighten, indeed, if he only focused on the current problem, there was a clear answer, the emperor was not virtuous, everyone thought he was not virtuous, so it would be good to change to a better one. But when everyone agrees with this system, the trouble really begins, because can meritocracy really be quantified objectively and fairly? Can the people really receive the truthful message? In ancient times, there was a saying of filial piety, so a series of filial piety performances began. Therefore, the seemingly unreliable primogeniture system is the system that can truly achieve stability.
"These words were told to me by the first emperor, and he treated me like a mountain, and before the crown prince ascended the throne, he asked me to swear to assist him in sitting. Because the first emperor knew that only I, the god of the Universiade army, recognized the crown prince, could the Universiade country be truly stable. Of course, he can also choose to get rid of me, but with the rise of the Qingqiu Kingdom, he is unwilling to destroy the Great Wall. Yue Feipeng said.
Everyone said that General Yue was loyal, even if he was a pilgrim and unkind, he still let it go, Zhan Yue thought it was a kind of foolish loyalty before, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
"General, I have one more thing I want to ask you, is there any supernatural power in this world? For example, the strength far beyond ordinary warriors. Zhan Yue asked, such as this General Yue, Zhan Yue felt that he knew very little about this world, and now that the opportunity was right, of course he couldn't let it go.
"You've heard a lot about the fox demon and fox god today, and you're concerned about this?" Yue Feipeng said with a smile, and then continued: "The legend of the demon god has always existed, but I have never seen it, so I don't believe in any fox god cult, I have pushed countless temples, and the treasures retrieved from those believers are piled up, these are all deceived by them from the hands of the people. But apart from the legends of some demons or gods, there is power in this world above the martial arts. ”
"Oh?" Zhan Yue sat up straight, interested.
"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, we still had some talk of cultivating immortals here, and there were still many land immortals at that time. But then, without knowing what happened, everything changed. The immortals disappeared from the world, leaving only legends, and later, even the legends were mostly lost. But not all traces have disappeared from this world, there are still spiritual fruits and magic weapons in this world. Yue Feipeng said.
"Spirit Fruit? Magic weapon? Zhan Yue was shocked.
"That's right, I was poisoned before and didn't die because I ate a spirit fruit called Qilin Fruit, speaking of which, the Qilin Fruit was given to me by the Jade King, and my life was saved by him." Yue Feipeng said with emotion, in the past, he was hit by an arrow, the arrow was poisonous, and it did not heal for a long time, and the Jade King sent a unicorn fruit after hearing about it, and after he ate it, he not only recovered from his injuries, but also his physique was far beyond the past.
Zhan Yue nodded, before Huang Xueqing said that in Yue Feipeng's body, he could sense a mysterious power protecting his heart, and now it seems that it is this Qilin Fruit.
"In addition to the spirit fruit, it is a rarer magic weapon, there is only one magic weapon I know, in the hands of Ma Qiangang, the leader of the forbidden army of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, he is His Majesty's uncle and His Majesty's most trusted general, so the Thunder God Whip finally fell into his hands. If I don't use the magic weapon, he is far from being my opponent, but with that magic weapon, I will definitely not be his opponent. Yue Feipeng said.
"Thunder Whip!" Zhan Yue's eyes moved, there are really treasures in this world, and I don't know if these treasures can be brought out of this world as a reward. However, he didn't expect too much, compared to those treasures in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, the treasures of this world have a limit, no matter how powerful they are.
"I know that your skills are extraordinary, but you still have to be careful, especially when you fight against the Qingqiu Army later, they may not have a magic weapon in their hands as a hole card, after all, they are also an empire that has been inherited for thousands of years." Yue Feipeng reminded.
Zhan Yue nodded, he has always been cautious, naturally he would not make such a mistake, but General Yue's words today made Zhan Yue even more confused, what is that hidden mission? What does the trial of the Heavenly Book World want to convey to you? He still didn't know anything about that.
The two had a great conversation. The three days passed in a flash, the army opened the front line, and the battle was about to break out. The advantage of the great luck is the well-equipped infantry, and the advantage of Qingqiu is the cavalry, and their trip is to occupy the height of the mountains, occupy the advantageous terrain, and avoid the enemy's cavalry from gaining an advantage.
"General Yue, our speed can't catch up with their cavalry, so even if we rush with all our strength, we may not be able to occupy Guanshang Ridge before them." Zhan Yue asked.
"It's okay, I've already arranged it." Yue Feipeng said with a smile.
Vice General Li on the side said: "The general has arranged for the strange soldiers to secretly guard the Guanshang Ridge very early, and also put some material in the grass under the mountain, and the horses of the Qingqiu vanguard cavalry are afraid that they are all having diarrhea at this time, I believe they can hold on until we reach it." ”
