The Emperor Shun Zhishi

Chapter 54 Proposed Amendments
Seeing that Shun refused again, Emperor Yao, Gao Tao, and Xi Zhong were all surprised this time, because Shun still refused because these three people valued him so much, which was a bit out of date.

"Does Chonghua still have doubts in his heart?"

Gao Tao knew that Shun was not an inconvenient person, nor was he a pragmatic person, so he asked this question.

"Hearing what the three said, I also understand the joints, but I think that with the current political system of Huaxia and Dongyi, even if I become the co-lord of Huayi, I will not be able to complete the emperor's career."

Little Xingxing's words shocked the three of them, they didn't expect him to have such a cognition.Emperor Yao stroked his beard, he knew that what Shun said must have his reasons.

"Where are the joints in this?"

"It is the current issue of the alliance between Huaxia and Dongyi. Even if I become the co-lord of Huaxia and Dongyi, then I may only be the lord of a city. My government orders will not go out of Pingyang or Longshan. Because Huaxia is just a The loose tribal alliance is the same for Dongyi. Even if Huaxia and Dongyi form an alliance, it is still a loose tribal alliance. The decrees of Pingyang and Longshan can only affect Pingyang and Longshan, not the Chong and Yu clans. You see, if I want to build the Guirui Avenue to the territory of the Yu clan, I still need the consent of the Yu clan. The tribal blame. Even in your eyes, I am a wise person, but the ancients said it well, a clever woman can hardly cook without rice. The current politics of the Huaxia Alliance determines the heights I can achieve."

Emperor Yao and Gao Tao listened to Shun's words and looked at each other. They just thought that it was already an extremely difficult problem for Shun to inherit the imperial business and complete the assimilation of Beidi, Xirong and Sanmiao. Unexpectedly, Shun proposed a more difficult problem. The problem.

"You want to change the law of the ancestors?"

Xizhong heard the core of Little Xingxing's more difficult problem.

"Yes."

"But the law of the ancestors, from the Yellow Emperor to the present, has proven to be effective."

"No matter how good the law of the ancestors is, it will be out of date, not to mention that times are changing. In the time of the Yellow Emperor, the population of China was less than [-], and now it has nearly a million people. In the future, we will unify the world and the population of the ruler will exceed one million. , tens of millions, or even tens of millions, the system handed down from the time of the Yellow Emperor will become obsolete."

Listening to what Little Xingxing said, Emperor Yao and Gao Tao couldn't help but nodded, they admitted that Little Xingxing saw farther than they did. "I want to hear your thoughts. Why is the legal system handed down from the Yellow Emperor outdated?"

Little Xingxing sorted out his thoughts. He knew that what he was facing was the ancient Chinese sages 300 years ago. They did not understand the modern state system, nor did they understand that the world was always changing, so there was no ultimate ideal system. There is only one system that best fits the times.They don't even know the concept of a country, he must first let them understand what a country is.

"Our current system all comes from alliances established on the basis of tribes, and tribes are bound by blood relatives and patriarchal clans. The leader of a tribe is the most powerful person in the tribe. No one can lift his power. , even the leader of the alliance, Dijun, is not allowed. This leads to the leader of the tribe, no matter what he does, whether it is beneficial or harmful to the tribe, he will not be punished. If he will not be punished, an alliance's decree will not be obtained Implementation. The reason why water control is so difficult has a lot to do with the inconsistent decrees of the Huaxia Alliance and unclear rewards and punishments. Now we want to build a more effective alliance, we need to establish a new system. In this system, the The leader has absolute power. He is not only in charge of the army, but also the appointment and removal of tribal leaders. Once he can control the tribe, his decrees will be respected by all tribes and will be strictly implemented. This kind of unified decree The tribal alliance with Fadu is called a country. The leader of the alliance is the head of the country, called the emperor, and the local government is no longer divided according to the tribe, but divided according to the region, called the state, and the leader of each state is called the state pastor. When the local and central decrees are unified, this results in a country that speaks the same words, uses the same measures, and uses the same laws."

Listening to Little Xingxing's explanation, Emperor Yao, Gao Tao, and Xi Zhong couldn't help but applaud, because what Little Xingxing said was the state system in the feudal era, which they had never heard of. The times they live in are very advanced, and their efficacy is also obvious.

However, Xiao Xingxing does not know that although the establishment of a feudal system is conducive to the unification of government orders and water control, it is actually harmful to enlightenment and self-cultivation, and will encourage the selfish desire of "family world".In order to control the flood as soon as possible, this move can only be used as an expedient measure.

Although Emperor Yao and Gao Tao recognized the system advocated by Xiao Xingxing, the problem is not the system, but how to change the system, which cannot be solved overnight.

"If the two of you advocate revising the current tribal blood relationship alliance system and upgrading it to a country, then we have to start with the laws. First, we must unify the laws of Dongyi and Huaxia, and promulgate a code of law to let the common people know what is What to do, what not to do. Only when they have the rules, they will know how to abide by the law."

Emperor Yao and Gao Tao agreed with Xiao Xingxing's opinion, and immediately started to edit the code.In Pingyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Yao summoned the tribes of all ethnic groups in China and proposed to compile a code of law to regulate the behavior of the tribes. Shi, Zhuanxu, and Jinyun.Because after the compilation of the code, all actions will have a basis and guidelines, causing them, as tribal leaders, to lose their absolute power, so they are naturally opposed.

In addition, when Gao Tao returned to Longshan, he also convened an alliance meeting like Emperor Yao, and proposed to revise the code, which was also opposed by the Dongyi nobles.

Although this result was expected by Shun and Xiao Xingxing, they were still very surprised when Emperor Yao told Shun the news, because none of the tribes agreed to revise the code.

"They belong to vested interests, and vested interests have always been a stumbling block to reform."

"What is a vested interest?" Shun was very confused when he heard the words of the 21st century spoken by Little Xingxing. At this time, Shun became more proficient because of practicing the mental method taught by the two immortals Xuansu, and he was able to perceive the existence of Little Xingxing. , and communicate with him.

"Vested interests, generally speaking, are the most powerful people in a ruling group. They are afraid of change because change will bring about changes in the power structure. Once changes occur, they are likely to be squeezed out of the power class."

"Then how can we get their consent?"

"It is impossible to get their consent, and they are the biggest resistance to reform."

"so what should I do now?"

"Only by force."

"Fight against them? Although Dihong, Shaohao, Zhuanxu, and Jinyun are opposed to revising the code, they are loyal to China and Emperor Yao. There is no need to punish those who oppose it just because they want to revise a code."

"That's because you don't know the importance of compiling a unified code. In our time, there is a saying called political struggle. History is constantly changing in this struggle, overthrowing the decadent old privileged class, so that those who have The advanced productivity upstart class holds power. The Emperor Hong, Shaohao, Zhuanxu, and Jinyun belong to the old privileged class that will be overthrown. If they cannot be overthrown, their privileges will lead to the decay and degeneration of China. Only by overthrowing They can accelerate the progress of society."

"But how to overthrow them?"

The two souls communicated in the same body, and suddenly Shun could not feel the existence of the little star.

At this time, Little Xingxing hid herself and fell into silence.Because he suddenly thought that the reason why he entered Shun's body to experience this period of history was to correct mistakes and correct mistakes, so as to eliminate Fan Tianmo.But now, he found that he was inexplicably involved in the ancient history, and some of his words and deeds were more or less affecting history.

"Am I here to change history?"

Little Xingxing interrogated himself in Shun's body.

"No, of course not. Fantianmo has lived until the 21st century. History is evolving, and he is also evolving, and it also affects the future of mankind. Let me go back and correct mistakes. In fact, the purpose of correcting mistakes is to prevent the future of human beings from being controlled by Fantianmo , and then completely eliminate the demons. I am not trying to change history, not to mention that history itself cannot be changed."

Xiao Xingxing suddenly realized that he was in Shun's body and participated in some of Shun's deeds, which made him somewhat lost himself, but how to find himself?Little Xingxing had to use Shun's body to enter Shun's body, and he had to affect the historical process in which Shun participated.Little Xingxing found that he was caught in a dilemma and couldn't extricate himself.
