big dry son-in-law

"Dad, everything else is fine, including reform, but I don't want a constitutional monarchy.

If that's not a puppet emperor, what is it?" Tian Xin said.

"I've already said that the system is stupid and will naturally not be used." Qin Mo said angrily: "I've said so much, and you only remember one thing, constitutional monarchy?"

"Of course not. You said that we should eliminate the remaining poison of the times. I wrote it down." Tian Xin said, "You also said that we should work hard towards the sky and let everyone work together to migrate to the universe in the future."

"anything else?"

"You're shooting yourself in the foot!" Huo Lin'er interrupted.

Qin Mo's fist hardened again, and he gave him two more chestnuts, "I told you not to shoot yourself in the foot, and I told you not to misinterpret my meaning. I just wanted to get rid of the remaining poison and reduce the burden on future generations.

You know nothing! "

Huo Lin'er covered his head and said, "Isn't that just shooting yourself in the foot?"

Qin Mo cursed, "To put it bluntly, the theory of heaven and man's connection was made up by the Ji family to curry favor with the emperor, just to give prominence to the Ji family's doctrine.

The Ji family did it and succeeded.

This saying has been passed down for thousands of years and is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It also further confirmed the emperor's statement.

Rather than saying it was a matter of divine connection, it would be better to say that the emperor was born in response to the will of the people and rose to power in accordance with the will of the people."

"But Dad, isn't that just shooting yourself in the foot?" Brother Feng said, "If the emperor and public opinion are combined, it will be easier for those with ulterior motives to do evil. By then, they can manipulate public opinion and say that the emperor has lost his virtue and the support of the people. Wouldn't that mean he will be rebelled against in a matter of minutes?"

"Yes, the emperor is not good enough, so should we call him the people?"

Lu Yuan had a headache, "You still don't understand what I said. Our Qin family came from the people and will go back to the people.

Abolish the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man, and don't let the emperor take the scapegoat. Instead, let everyone understand that the Qin family came from the people, and they are not only the children of the people, but also the monarch, father and guides of thousands of people.

God has no son.

There are only clouds in the sky, the scorching sun, and violent storms, but there will be no son!

Eliminate barriers and break the connection between heaven and man.

Let science have its way.

Eradicating the remaining poison will be more conducive to future generations governing the country.

Power will not be lost by lowering your status.

On the contrary, you will be more loved by the people.

The principles and ideas of the Ming dynasty meant that the emperor would never be above the people and detached from them. "

The three brothers fell into deep thought.

But Tianxin still found it difficult to accept, as he felt his father's reforms were too big.

Although it was expected, it was a bit strange to chop the emperor with this sword.
Seeing Tian Xin remained silent, Qin Mo took a deep breath, "Why don't you say anything? Do you think you can't accept it?"

"Yes, a little bit." Tian Xin said truthfully: "Dad, in fact, the emperor is the real hegemon, and so are the officials. You said that the people are the main focus, but in fact, this is unfair.

It would be ideal to hand over power to the people, but I think it is not the right time yet.

You reformed the officialdom step by step, providing all common people with a way to join the officialdom.

These officials originally came from the grassroots, so they can naturally protect the people at the grassroots.

But... I have been at the bottom before, and I know what they need.

But it’s hard to satisfy everyone. No matter how well you do, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and who will complain.”

Qin Mo lit a cigarette in annoyance, "Go on."

"Of course, I am not against innovation, nor am I against eliminating those remaining poisons. In fact, I also know that this is all for our own good and for the sake of future generations.

However, since the establishment of imperial power, since ancient times, imperial power has been divine power, which comes from these remnants of poison.

There is nothing wrong with limiting imperial power.

It is also natural to restrain the emperor.

However, if this knife is chopped down, there will be two possibilities.

First, the people and officials could not accept it. The consequence was that the imperial power was gradually looked down upon and no longer feared by the world.

The second is that the emperor's words are no longer taken seriously by officials, leading to chaos in the country. "Tian Xin said.

"Is that what you think?"

"It's not just me who thinks so, but the vast majority of people think so." Tian Xin said: "In fact, there are some people in the society who have awakened ahead of time. They say that the imperial power is the biggest and most unstable factor. Do you think they are afraid of the imperial power?

They are naturally not afraid in private, but when the vast majority of people are afraid, they naturally dare not stand up and say anything.

The freedom of speech in the Ming Dynasty was unprecedented.

The people could even curse the emperor. If there was anything he did not do well, they would curse the court and the officials.

If I give up my martial arts next, many things will not be able to go on.

Of course, these are two contradictory things.”

Qin Mo sighed and shook his head, "No, you haven't looked far enough. Of course, what you say now is in line with the background of the times.

It is indeed a bit hasty to say this now.

But what I want to tell you is that even if the emperor is not overly deified, power will not change.

He just existed in a different way.

Even if there is no emperor one day, there will still be a guide standing up in this world.

The country is a big family that is the gathering together of thousands of small families.

Even in a small family, there is also a head of the household.

Even in a small country, there is a ruler.

The role of a leader will never change, no matter what era it is.

If you think that the emperor must be linked to theocracy, it means you are not confident enough.

That means you are not confident in the current strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Peaceful weapons exist to suppress the world.

Even without peaceful weapons, the Ming Dynasty's military power was unprecedented.

These powers are in our hands.

It doesn’t matter whether you are an emperor or in what capacity you appear in the eyes of the people.

What’s important is that you have power in your hands and soldiers behind you.

What’s important is that those soldiers will love you and support you.

This is the core of power.

Instead of manipulating divine power to deceive the people.

That's called ignorance.

That would be truly shooting oneself in the foot.

There has always been a wise man in this world.

When the phrase "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species" was shouted out, ghosts and gods were no longer to be feared in this land, and even God was no longer to be respected.

Fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against people is endless fun!
And you are the emperor, the one in power, what you need to do is fight against yourself.

If you can't see the essence of power, then you are just a puppet of power, nothing more!"

Qin Mo exhaled a puff of smoke and stopped talking.

Tian Xin was also stunned.

Brother Feng and Huo Lin'er fell into deep thought.

These words echoed in their ears and hearts for a long time!
