Chapter 358: Clarification

"Xiaohong did a good job!" After the memorial, Gu Yi received the news from Sun Xiaohong and said with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I didn't expect Yun Niang to be so able to endure it now!" Invite Yue, who was on the side, also said with a smile, "If it was before, I'm afraid she would have killed that Qian Yu directly!

"These nobles always think they are amazing!" Li Mochou frowned and said with a bad face, "I really should destroy them all!"

"Exactly!"

"Only by eliminating the aristocracy can this world be peaceful!" the women echoed, obviously very dissatisfied with the nobles who held power in the Zijin Empire.

"Do you really think so?" Gu Yi said with a slight smile and looked at them.

"What, husband?" the girls looked at Gu Yi with puzzled expressions.

They didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what they said, but judging from Gu Yi's attitude, it seemed that they were wrong?

"You ignore the fact that you and I are both nobles!" Gu Yi sighed and said softly.

"This ......" The girls realized that they were indeed one of the members of the nobility!

"As long as there is a division of power and a gap in rank, the aristocracy will always exist!" Gu Yi looked around at his wives and said gently, "In this world, people cannot be exactly the same! Everyone has their own position, everyone has their own strengths, and if you want to arrange these people to the best position, someone must make overall arrangements!"

"With such power, then the person who makes the overall arrangement will naturally have a higher status than those who arrange and distribute it!

"In addition, all men have desires! If they have desires, they will be greedy, lazy, and slack, so they must arrange for people to supervise and promote, and those who supervise and promote will naturally have power and become their rulers or rulers!"

"Finally, these commanders and commanders also have the general situation of their own subordinates, and they need a higher level of people to manage and supervise, level after level, until I am the highest being!"

"In the accumulation and continuation of power, this group of people with power naturally become aristocrats! Therefore, it is impossible to eliminate the nobility! Unless, people sever ties with each other! Is this possible?"

"......." everyone fell silent.

Gu Yi's words clearly understand that those who are high and powerful are nobles, and as long as people have a collection, they will form a social system, and if there is a social system, there will be a high and powerful person, and a high and powerful person is an aristocrat! Gu Yi and they are both high-ranking and powerful people, and naturally they are also nobles!

To completely wipe out the entire nobility...... It's simply impossible!

Because the disappearance of one group of nobles must be accompanied by the rise of another group of nobles!

In this way, how can we talk about eliminating the aristocracy?

"That husband, how to solve the situation of the nobles oppressing the people?" Mingxin looked at Gu Yi with a look of hope, she didn't want the empire that her husband and her sisters had established together to become the kind of aristocratic existence she hated later!

"The reason why people are greedy is because they have lost their awe!" Gu Yi nodded and said with a solemn face, "I have always told you that human nature is inherently evil! Greed is a sin that is deeply rooted in our souls! What can suppress this evil thought is awe! People who lose awe naturally do things without a bottom line, and fully demonstrate that greed brings evil! And those who have awe know what the consequences of greed are, suppress this evil thought, and become a kind and upright person!"

"Awe?" Mingxin was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Yi, "What are you in awe?"

"Huh. Gu Yi laughed, and when he saw that all the women were looking at him, they were all curious, so he said slowly, "This is very broad! Fear of gods, reverence of power, reverence of history, and reverence ...... Humanity!"

"......" was still confused, obviously not understanding the meaning of Gu Yi's words.

"Fear of the gods, as the name suggests. There are many people who believe that there are spirits in heaven and earth, and that there is a mysterious and powerful god in the underworld who judges good and evil, so they dare not release their evil thoughts, and they are honest in their rules! Such people are a little ignorant, but they do not make any big mistakes, and most of them use this as an interface to endure the oppression and bullying of others. Among the majority of civilians, there is such awe!"

"Reverence for power, simply put, is to fear people with power! For example, commoners revere nobles, low-level officials revere high-ranking officials, and everyone under my command revere me! This kind of awe is extremely perennial in the Purple Gold Continent, and to put it bluntly, it is the fear and respect of the most powerful officials! It's just that although this kind of awe and binding force exists, it is not clear!"

"Not clear?" Mingxin was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "What does this mean?"

"Let's take us as an example, 'Xiao Heaven' can be said to be the force with the best attitude towards the people in the Purple Gold Empire, you don't deny this, right?"

"Of course!" everyone nodded calmly. In the southwestern 'Howling Heaven' sphere of influence, the common people live the most privileged life, and there has never been a situation of oppression, which everyone is quite proud of!

"Everyone knows that the important members of 'Howling Heaven' are all cultivated by me! Based on my personal attitude towards the people, these people, including you, have a different attitude towards the people than the nobles of the rest of the forces!"

"Of course, there is also the reason for your birth! But it is undeniable that if I had instilled in you the idea of the supremacy of the nobility when I taught you, I am afraid that your attitude towards the people would not be much better now. ”

"......" everyone couldn't help but nod again.

In the Zijin Empire, Gu Yi is not the only one who adopts and cultivates orphans and slaves, but they are all dead soldiers of those people, and they are only loyal to those who serve their lives, and they don't care about the safety of the people and the world at all!

"After the establishment of 'Howling Heaven', we have absorbed a lot of idle warriors on the rivers and lakes, and their attitudes towards the people in the past, you also know!

"Now they don't dare to bully any of the people! Because their superiors, that is, the petty commanders we have cultivated, will not agree! This is the awe of power at the lowest level!"

"I understand!" Li Shengnan said suddenly, "What Brother Yi means is that the awe of power is often only the awe of a single person with higher power than himself, they are just in awe of the attitudes and preferences of a higher level of power!"

This is the ambiguity of the reverence of power! This kind of behavior under reverence is very variable, depending on the attitude of the higher level of power!"

"Reverence for history, simply put, is to learn from history!"

"In this regard, let's just look at the current Zhao clan!" Gu Yi saw that the eyes of the women looking at him were a little playful, coughed dryly, and continued, "Zhao Min's daughter is not simple, it is the awe of history! She knows very well the reasons for the demise of the Zhao royal family, and she also sees clearly the root cause of the Zhao clan's failure to rise for three thousand years! I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so I naturally have to correct my previous attitude! Now the Zhao family's attitude towards the common people can be seen that it does not show a high-minded appearance! This is the reverence for history!"

"In the end, it's the awe of human nature!" After hastily finishing Zhao Min's matter, Gu Yi put away his embarrassed expression and became serious, "I don't shy away from telling you, what I am in awe of is human nature!"

"You can all see that when I make a lot of rules, I seem to be extremely strict and unkind! I don't seem to trust you people who are close to me!" Gu Yi looked at the women around him and said softly, "Actually, it's not that I don't trust you, but my awe of human nature!"

"Anyone can change at any time because of the change of status, circumstance and power! Especially the evil hidden in the depths of the heart, sometimes it is not something you can suppress if you want to! Maybe you can, but what about after you?!"

"I can trust that with my and your teachings, our children can still be as they are!

"You may not be able to see it now, or maybe you don't want to think about it now!But there is one thing that you can't avoid, that is, after many years, who will take my place?!"

"......." The women's faces became solemn, this is indeed a very difficult question!

"Can you guarantee that at that time, you can be absolutely open-minded?" Gu Yi looked at everyone, and then shook his head, "No! You can't! Even, it's hard for me to be sure, will I determine the ownership of this position because of my own preferences at that time!"

"That's why, I've been formulating all kinds of policies to restrain you, and even let you check and balance each other!" Gu Yi sighed and continued, "In the future, I will also formulate a strict inheritance system! Leave all personal feelings behind and determine the successor based only on talent and morality!"

"Not only that, but I will also break up the power of my children and grandchildren, and try my best to achieve mutual checks and balances!" Gu Yi paused and looked at his wives gently, "I really don't want to see that in the future, my children and grandchildren will fight for this position at all costs!"

"Even if it is my position, I will find a way to check and balance it in the future! I must make everyone feel awe! Only in this way will our ideal world last forever!"

"Husband!" the women sighed with emotion, and the tiny mustard they had for Gu Yi in their hearts was eliminated.

All along, everyone felt a little uncomfortable about Gu Yi's inability to fully trust them! They now knew that Gu Yi did not distrust them, but out of awe of human nature, he did something unkind!

"One more thing, I am in awe of the people!" Gu Yi saw that the women were looking at him with some confusion, so he opened his mouth to explain, "In the past, you only saw the change of power, and only saw the chaos caused by the nobles, but you did not realize the role of the people in it!"

"For the common people, life is very simple, as long as they have clothes to wear, a house to live in, food to eat, and the continuation of their descendants, it is everything!" Gu Yi looked at the women and said solemnly, "Very small thoughts, but they are also very great! They seem to be humble, but in fact, they have huge energy! It's just that in the past, due to the abundance of products in the Purple Gold Continent, they were covered up!"

"But if you think about it carefully, after the unification of the whole world, we will lose the threat, and it is inevitable that there will be slackness and arrogance! Since there is no threat, I am afraid that this kind of slackness and arrogance will be inflicted on the ordinary people! At that time, I am afraid that the simplest ideals of the people will be challenged!"

"Think about it, what will the people do when they lose hope?!"

"It seems ......" Li Shengnan wanted to say that there seemed to be no problem, but she suddenly thought that if the people resisted, where would the food and supplies come from?!

Snatch?!

It seems to be good, but if there is no production, snatching is just drinking doves to quench thirst!

The final result is absolutely irreparable!

"Don't underestimate the people!" Gu Yi saw that Li Shengnan seemed to have figured it out, and nodded with satisfaction, "In fact, we are also the people at the root! When the oppression is extreme, it is resistance! In the face of resistance, suppression is extremely stupid, because the harder the pressure, the stronger the rebound!"

"But at that time, it seems that it is impossible to think of anything but suppression! There is only one result in this: falling apart! It is still a trivial matter for my Gu clan to be replaced, I am afraid that the human race will be in great trouble, and that is the sinner of the ages!"

"Husband!" the women nodded in awe, they finally knew why Gu Yi had always emphasized the concept of 'rule by law'!

The most important thing about the seemingly impersonal law is to restrain and make people awe, so that they can have long-term peace and stability!

"Actually, I don't know how long this situation can last!" Gu Yi sighed, "What will happen in the future, and how people's hearts will develop, I can't figure out! What I can do is to maintain it as much as I can within my ability!"

===========================================================

When everyone woke up in the morning, the bodies of the Qian family and his son were hung high above the city tower, and the city lord's mansion, both old and young, did not let go, and all died in that night.

"Isn't it a little too cruel?" Gu Yunniang said as she stood outside the city, her brows furrowed slightly.

"There is no way to do this! In order to deter, you must use thunderbolts!" Li Bad, who was standing on her side, said indifferently, "If you don't do this, it will be too gentle! Auntie will have more trouble!"

"It's just that those old and young have been affected!" Gu Yunniang sighed.

"They enjoy the benefits brought by the arrogance of the Qian father and son, and naturally they also have to bear the bitter consequences of the evil done by the father and son!" Li Bad still had an indifferent face, "This is cause and effect!"

"You kid, you're getting more and more indifferent!" Gu Yunniang frowned, turned her head to look at Li Bad, "It's not like a brother-in-law at all!"

"Father said that his character flaws are too great, and he wants me to learn from my uncle!" Li Bad smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said.

"My brother is not a cruel person!"

"But Uncle is definitely a man who does big things!"
