796 Game of Thrones in the Middle Ages
Xiao Letian hooked up at Zai Chun, and the little emperor quickly turned his ears. He heard the bewitching prime minister say in a very low voice, "There are two ways in front of you. One is to continue to spendthrift until the Qing Dynasty is destroyed and collapsed. Anyway, this is a routine that people have been familiar with for thousands of years. Change the dynasty..."
"The second way is to actively integrate in, make changes and make yourself more adaptable to the world. Maybe you will continue your life for the Qing Dynasty. As for whether it can be successful, how many years it can last, it will have to do its best to do its best... But even if it fails, Zaichun can say something to your ancestors with a clear conscience."
"At least I have worked hard, at least I have worked hard, at least I have never been a deserter."
It was already the sun rising outside the window. Xiao Letian stretched his waist deeply and shouted out the window, "Prepare breakfast for me, I'm starving to death... I can't sleep well if I want to sleep in."
Xiao Letian patted Zaichun's head and sighed, "I know these principles are a bit too deep for you, but there is no way. Who made you become emperor? You have already cared about this biggest chore in the world, so you can only learn to mature quickly, without any other shortcuts..."
Seeing Xiao Letian walk out of the study, Zaichun shouted, "I have one last question. They said that Master, your destiny is to hold the merchant in your left hand and the army in your right hand. You want to create a mixture of merchants and martial artists. You want to share the world with merchants and martial artists... Is this your destiny?"
Xiao Letian was stunned. He slowly turned around and looked at Zai Chun incredibly. "What they really said, they explained the destiny. In their eyes, is destiny apart power?"
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed suddenly, "It's ridiculous that I have always been half an enemy of those corrupt scholars. Today I saw that it was a waste of my energy and saliva. Such an "enemy" is not worthy of carrying shoes to me..."
"I don't even know what the destiny is. I dare to be the emperor's teacher. Forget it, you can understand it yourself first, I'll go to have a meal first..."
Shu Chun was stunned by the fact that Xiao Letian picked up a large bowl of fragrant millet porridge, picked up oily crab noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, and stuffed it into his mouth like a starving ghost reincarnated.
While eating him, he was still laughing in his heart. These corrupt scholars are still doing the same destiny in their era, and their explanation is so far-fetched. Zou Yan's theory of the Five Elements and Five Virtues was originally used by the emperor to deceive people.
The emperor belongs to the earth virtue, the Xia Dynasty belongs to the wood virtue, the Shang Dynasty belongs to the gold virtue, and the Zhou Dynasty naturally belongs to the fire virtue... It is hard to calculate. If the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, that is the water virtue. Anyway, the Qin people advocated black, and black represents water in China.
This theory of destiny that fools people is not believed by anyone who has read a few years. Even Confucianism itself uses this thing as a tool to fool the people.
In fact, what Feng Fu said to the little emperor last night was actually the true understanding of destiny by the ancient Chinese elite. On the surface, your emperor was the monarch's authority and the son of God, but only the ignorant people would believe this kind of nonsense.
In the hearts of elite literati, the so-called destiny is what force the emperor borrowed to ascend the throne, and whom he was planning to share the world with. After understanding this, he naturally understood what destiny was.
Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the emperor shared the world with the nobles. Aristocrats of all sizes divided all resources of the entire country, and the rest were dependent on them. At that time, the nobles mastered productivity, resources, including knowledge.
In which era, whoever gets the support of the nobles is the destiny of heaven.
Even if the First Emperor abolished the feudal division and established counties, Liu Bang still wanted to carry out feudal divisions when the Han Dynasty was founded, which shows how powerful the power of the custom was.
It’s not that Liu Bang couldn’t see the disadvantages of the feudal system, nor that he didn’t understand the benefits of the county system of the First Emperor, but Liu Bang was very pragmatic and he had no choice.
The world's productivity, resources, population and knowledge are monopolized in the hands of the nobles. If you don't share the world with them, who else can you find?
After the nobles, there were family members, and after the family members, warlords appeared, and finally an independent landlord class was born and the independent group of scholars and officials appeared.
That's right, the group of scholars and officials began to become independent in the Song Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, the group of scholars and officials were all attached to other classes and did not become independent.
Not all the literati in Chinese history are corrupt scholars. Many real experts are all people who dismantled the society at that time as meticulous as the butcher who cut the cow.
They can clearly straighten out the distribution of power in a country at that time, and find the group that can best unite in the complex political struggles to attack other groups.
The wise emperor also understood the tricks here. They would know who is the ally of their country and who should share his power with.
Xiao Letian smiled sinisterly, and even drank the rice porridge to the corner of his mouth. He was so stunning that he thought that the chopsticks penetrated the soup and poured the soup into pieces and dried up the soup.
"This group of corrupt scholars are ignorant of enterprising and sleeping heavily in the experience of their ancestors, and they are completely unaware of flexibility. It's okay to fool Zai Chun with that set of deceitful theories. Fight with me, hehehe..."
Fuhui, like a little mother, took a handkerchief and wiped Xiao Letian's face, "Eat well, why is it getting more sinister as you eat? What are you trying to bully people?"
Xiao Letian was not annoyed, and pinched his wife's butt, "Daughter-in-law, I used to think that the enemy was just a tiger, but now I look at it and it's just a sick cat, I'm really worried..."
The Qin Dynasty swept across Liuhe with a strong army, but in the end it did not share the world with the warlords, nor with the nobles. Instead, it developed a county system. Although Xiao Letian admitted that the county system was really progressive, too big would really make it a big deal.
If you, Qin Shihuang, cannot make a five-year plan, ten years of development, and three generations of descendants, you must be in one step. In this world, if you take half a step more than others, you are a genius, if you take one step more than others, you are a madman.
If you want to implement the county system, do you have a huge foundation for civil servants? Are those civil servants raised by the free landlord class of the Song Dynasty? You don’t have a mass base. What a nonsense.
Look at Liu Bang, he is a gangster, but he is pragmatic. He knows how much he has and knows that he grew up in the cracks. Therefore, after the founding of the country, he also made great contributions to the feudalism. He is also very good at the meritorious officials, nobles, and relatives. You say they can not support the rule of the Han Dynasty.
Then Wen and Jing's rule were recuperating, and Emperor Wu took over the power, but he didn't dare to completely take it all, so he had to take it slowly.
