In the thousands of years of human history, there are always some people who create rules and others who abide by them. Those who create rules are the great men as the world calls them great men or elites at the top of the pyramid.

Whether people love to listen or not, you have to admit that there are indeed a group of people standing at the top of the pyramid that are not subject to law.

For example, the founding emperors of dynasties in history, or the ministers who revived history, these people could create or even modify the laws with their own strength. They were rule-makers, while others could only abide by the rules of the game.

If we take the Ming Dynasty as an example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, was of course the maker of the game. Later, his descendants were only one of Yan King Zhu Di, who was considered half a great man, because he dared to challenge the authority of some of his fathers, destroyed certain rules and was not judged.

Among the civil officials, the most famous reformist in the Ming Dynasty should be Zhang Juzheng. When he was in power, he forcibly promoted the One-Whip Law, which can be said to have changed the economic operation rules of China and even Asia for hundreds of years.

This is a very successful reformist. Although his house was confiscated after his death, when he was alive, no one in power could touch him, including the emperor.

Such a person can be said to be above the law, and he also partially revised the rules of the game of the Ming Dynasty with his own efforts.

There are many such people in all dynasties, including Xiao Letian, who is now at the level of the creator of the rules, that is, the creator.

The Chinese Code was founded by him, which is the root of the Chinese. To put it bluntly, the Constitution is his son. There is no reason why a son judges me in the world.

Emperor Tongzhi of the same period was not so lucky. At least he was still abide by the rules of the Qing Dynasty at this moment. He did not have the strength to change any rules of the game. From this point of view, let alone the emperor he was, in fact, his power was not as good as Xiao Letian's little finger.

People under the rules of the game must learn to abide by the rules in their daily lives, otherwise this rule will punish them. And what do people above the rules of the game rely on to restrain them?

The elites who are already standing above the Constitution can restrain them only by checks and balances between the elites, as well as a little sense of responsibility for human civilization and a little bit of awe for history.

This sense of responsibility and awe are actually just what Benjamin said, "Only history can judge me!"

They were not wrong at all, Benjamin, Gladstone, Queen Victoria, Pesmai... including Xiao Lotte, etc. To be honest, their merits and demerits are not something that secular people can judge, because they often think about problems a hundred years later.

Their governance skills are on the long river of time. As long as they think that this matter is in line with the mainstream of historical development and is beneficial to the future of the nation, then they will really dare to sacrifice the happiness of two or three generations in front of them.

Not only do they sacrifice happiness, but they can even sacrifice the lives of millions of people at present in exchange for the welfare of hundreds of years of future generations.

It can be said that people above the rules and people below the rules have completely different perspectives on the problem, so they say that only history can judge me.

There is nothing wrong with this. When Qin Shihuang was alive, the people were so painful that they were about to rise up. But what happened after Qin Shihuang died? His political legacy was passed down to New China. No dynasty dared to ban it with just one county system.

Not to mention the same car and same text as the same book. This is simply a killer weapon of the Chinese nation. It can unify words and weights. How much is this contribution?

Just look at India in the 21st century. Until now, there is no unified text and language. Domestic railways have three sets of gauge standards, and even the spacing between rails cannot be unified. This transportation efficiency is naturally conceivable.

If you really understand history, you will naturally understand what Benjamin said, but this arrogant prime minister forgot a little...that is, you can know a lot of things in your heart, but you must not say them in public.

Arrogance is a sin! People who are above the rules enjoy unique rights while enjoying the pain of being cold at high places. How many eyes are staring at him, how many people try to replace him, how many madmen want to die with you?

If you don’t understand this principle, you are not worthy of being the king! Xiao Letian understood this principle so he would not be called emperor, and would not take a step forward even if he did not understand it. He even placed his position under the Chinese Code on countless occasions.

This is a smart person. Since ancient times, countless cruel characters have died in a arrogant way. We should learn from history and learn from history!

Benjamin, who was angry, still wanted to leave the House of Commons? If he didn't explain what he said today, he wouldn't want to leave!

Since the glorious revolution, Britain has embarked on a path of no return against centralization. The king dares to cut off his head. What a blunder? You, Benjamin, are you? You dare to shout out this rebellious saying that only history can judge is a sign that you have seriously despised the Constitution!

"Benjamin! To answer our question, even the Queen dares not despise the Constitution, what are you!"

A dense roar soon sounded in the crowd, "Answer...Answer...Answer...Answer..."

The reporters who were sheltering from the rain at the gate of the Congress heard the chaotic sound at the northern end of the hall. They were so excited that they were about to rush in. At this time, the guards did not dare to let them go. A group of soldiers immediately pulled up the walls to block the crazy reporters.

"Gentlemen who retreat... all retreat... It is an exception to let you shelter from the rain. Don't rush forward any more!"

"What happened inside? What happened? We have the right to know, and the British people have the right to know! Let's go in and interview..."

The two groups of people went completely crazy and fought against each other. Countless people's hats were knocked off and their leather boots were stepped off.

Just when the Capitol was in chaos, a dense sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the dense drizzle. Looking around, more than a hundred imperial guards in red uniforms were wearing rain-proof cloaks and rode their horses neatly forward on the street.

All the pedestrians on both sides of the road were stunned. The guests and employees who were resting and sheltering from the rain in the shops along the street rushed into the rain. Everyone took off their hats and greeted them. The crowd looked at the golden carriage protected by the Imperial Guards in great excitement.

"Queen! The Queen is here!"

"Long live the queen! Long live!"

There was a long live sound along the banks of the Thames and crackling applause. People were crowded with rain. Everyone wanted to see the queen's appearance up close.

Sure enough, behind the glass window of the golden carriage, the gauze curtain was opened, and the smiling queen waved to the public, and the atmosphere was even more bursting.

"Long live! Long live the queen! Long live the empire!"
