Chapter 219: Don’t want to follow the old path and the rules that belong to the King of Han
With Chen Ping's character of being good at protecting himself, he can say that he is loyal to himself to this extent.

Xu Fan saw the expression on Chen Ping's face and said with a smile: "I also know that only names and weapons cannot be given to others, but where do I, the King of Han, come from?"

Xu Fan smiled and pointed at his temples and said: "The support for me, the King of Han, comes from the people all over the world. This throne comes from the people, so how can I cut myself off from the people?

Not to mention that I no longer have a palace, even if there is a palace, people will be able to come in in the future. Otherwise, no matter how gorgeous the palace is, it will just build a prison for yourself. "

Kings of the past dynasties chose the divine right of kings, recognized God as their father, and created the emperor to create a sense of mystery and sanctity. This could indeed deceive the people at the bottom and ensure the stability of the dynasty for a certain period of time.

But it must be far away from the people. If a king is far away from the people, then the Han Dynasty will return to its old ways and must rely on clans and nobles to rule the world.

The clan princes became stronger and relied on the military nobles to kill all their relatives.

When the military nobles became powerful and threatened the imperial power, they relied on their relatives to get rid of the military nobles.

If the relatives became powerful and threatened the imperial power, they would kill the mother to save the son, or rely on eunuchs to get rid of the relatives.

The eunuchs were unreliable and relied on their clansmen. The clansmen were also unreliable. The world was in chaos and the world was restored. Rely on military commanders and civil servants again, and go all the way down.

Finally, a country that could restrict the collection of clan members, relatives, eunuchs, generals, civil servants, and the pinnacle of the feudal system appeared.

But the price is that the entire civilization has fallen into a backwater. Civilization is like a zombie, waiting for foreigners to open the country with strong ships and cannons.

Many people in Xu Fan's later generations like to talk about the impossible economic triangle, which extends to the impossible political triangle, the impossible military triangle, and even the impossible triangle of love.

Xu Fan felt that the feudal system also had an impossible triangle. If you wanted to expand civilization externally, it would be difficult to achieve internal stability and stable imperial power, such as the Tang Dynasty.

If you are internally stable and the imperial power is stable, it will be difficult for you to expand externally, but you will be easily bullied. For example, I, the Song Dynasty,
If the imperial power is strong and expands externally, it will be difficult to stabilize internally, such as the Han Dynasty.

There are even some negative examples, such as the decline of imperial power, internal turmoil, and external beatings, such as the two Jin Dynasties.

The Aixinjueluo family in later generations seemed to have reached a triangular balance, but in fact it was an enlarged version of the Song and Ming dynasties, which were eventually destroyed by foreign powers.

Since the beginning of his rebellion, Xu Fan had no intention of following the old path of divine right of kings.

If he were a monarch with power granted by the people, he would not need to create a sense of mystery and sanctity.

Because he understood that this trick could fool the people at the bottom, but it could not fool the noble officials. The aristocratic officials live with themselves day and night, and no one knows who they are.

How could he, a common man with nine years of compulsory education and a commoner at the bottom, be able to play feudal politics with the elites of this era?

Just like the time-traveling girl in the female video, you insist on playing palace battle with a noble lady from the feudal era, competing for three obedience and four virtues. Without the aura of the protagonist, how can you outperform others? Your skills since elementary school do not match these, and without this environment, you should be beaten to death by others. You must find a track that suits you.

He plans to change the track to one he is familiar with, which is to quickly push the world into the industrialization era. Entering this track, he will be the only prophet in the world.

After entering the era of industrialization, the Han Dynasty finally escaped the cycle of chaos and chaos in the feudal era. Even if the merchants benefited, it was better than letting the feudal nobles and landlords benefit.

This is also the main reason why he plans to establish the prime minister system. If he wants to live longer, he must do less. He plans to live to be seventy or eighty years old. Moreover, human energy is limited, so he mainly spends his energy on technological innovation (copycat). , it will take decades to push the world's technology tree to the industrial age. It doesn't need to be too high, just ignite the steam engine technology tree, and the rest will depend on the general trend of the world. This makes Xu Fan need to delegate power.

And in the industrial age, his descendants are still playing with the divine right of kings, fearing that their descendants are more likely to end up on the guillotine.

Instead of going to the guillotine, it is better to decentralize power from the beginning and let the royal family and the common people get closer and have less rights. It is better to be a mascot and be worshiped by the people during the festival every year. It is not possible to become a common people again. This is considered From among the people to among the people.

Although Chen Ping didn't understand Xu Fan's true thoughts, he also understood that the King of Han wanted to change a set of rules.

Then he thought that the King of Han once said that the First Emperor was the first responsible person for the chaos that the world is now in. Although this was also a new term created by the King of Han, Chen Ping also understood its meaning. The King of Han and the Mohists regarded the First Emperor as The world is in great harm.

This is something that everyone can actually see, but like 'the emperor's new clothes' no one dares to say anything about it. Xu Fan was qualified to say such things, but people like Chen Ping didn't take it to heart, nor did they expect that the King of Han really planned to take action against the imperial power that had existed for thousands of years.

At this time, Chen Ping looked at Xu Fan with great admiration. He originally thought that the King of Han was the only monarch in the world who could rival the First Emperor. But just because the King of Han dared to move his sword inward, Chen Ping felt that the King of Han was half a level higher than the First Emperor.

Xu Fan didn't know Chen Ping's inner thoughts, otherwise he would have smiled and said, "You finally caught up with me."

This is what Xu Fan thought. He even believed that except for those underage child emperors, other emperors were mainly responsible for the decline of dynasties.

Li Er, Zhao Da also hypocritically summarized the gains and losses of the previous dynasty, but why didn't they conclude that the emperor is the greatest harm to the world, and that not having an emperor is the best thing for the world.

After thinking about this, Chen Ping felt excited and even excited. If he thought about it this way, what King Han did would make sense.

The reason why Prime Minister Zhou has such great power is because the Prime Minister of Han Dynasty took over part of the political power of the emperor, strengthened the power of the prime minister, and maintained the centralization of power in the country.

The Society of Sages has taken over part of the legal, legislative, and supervisory powers, because the sages are all selected from the local areas, which strengthens the connection between the local and the central government. If local powerful people have influence in the central government, they will not split the country. , there was a situation where the Qin Dynasty collapsed, and Qin officials even participated in it.

This system took into account both local interests and centralized power. Even ministers like them benefited, while only the imperial power suffered.

In fact, only by removing the ideological stamp of imperial power can we truly summarize the gains and losses of history, and the sages of the world can design a more reasonable system.

At the very least, any modern person who has read the history of the Sui Dynasty can conclude that Yang Guang was a prodigal son, and the world was ruined by him. If he wanted to avoid the emergence of a new Yang Guang, the imperial power must be restricted, but Fang Moudu did not. Dare to make such a summary, dare not mention the main contradiction, what is the meaning of such a summary.

Every time Xu Fan saw Zhao Da say, "The only thing that can benefit hundreds of generations is to raise soldiers." He felt funny. If you pay back hundreds of generations, just four generations, your brother's descendants will start to suffer from raising soldiers.

Chen Ping understood that with the prestige of the founder of the Han Dynasty, even if he had no rights, he could still rule the world, but the descendants of the Han King may not have this prestige.

As a minister of the King of Han, Chen Ping felt that he needed to remind the King of Han. However, as a minister, it was difficult to refuse such a political model that was beneficial to them.

Chen Ping struggled for a long time and whispered to Xu Fan: "King Han, what you do is not good for future generations."

Xu Fan smiled and said: "Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Having power does not mean that future generations will be fine."

Thinking of Hu Hai, who destroyed nine of his own tribes for power, Liu Bang had almost no descendants who died well, and he was incapable of controlling power to really harm others and himself. It is very rare in history for a big man in history to have four generations of heroic heroes. Even if For the sake of the country, it is necessary to limit the power of the king.

After hearing this, Chen Ping stopped talking. Since the King of Han knew this clearly, what else did he have to say.

Now he is just looking forward to the position of prime minister even more.

Yingbu led the generals to the largest palace and said: "The First Emperor once held court meetings here."

Ji Xin and others looked curiously at the huge palace and the place where the First Emperor sat above the palace. Xu Fan felt that this palace was quite empty, with not even a commentator. He thought of the Happy Valley in later generations, the Tang Dynasty City, Han Palace City and other places to play and said: "Sun Shutong should be called over, palace etiquette and so on He is the most familiar with things. Let's talk about it. If this palace hires some opera actors and lets them go to court every day, then the people can understand how the government handles government affairs. They can even spend more money to let them enjoy it. The treatment of the First Emperor.

Chen Xiao stopped him and said: "How can such a major political matter be so frivolous? This is not good for my prestige as a great man."

Xu Fan said with a smile: "The First Emperor did dominate the world, but his world has not been destroyed by us men. As long as we, the men, govern for the people, the people will support us. On the contrary, I think it is better to have more operas like this. Not only should the people see the emperor's daily life, but they should also understand the rules of government operations, so that they can protect their own interests. "

He watched many TV series in later generations, but he did not see anything that harmed his prestige. On the contrary, it was the TV series that were done well that made his prestige even higher, not to mention transparent governance and keeping up with the trend.

Fooling the people is probably in the best interests of the officials, but as the saying goes, I have the law.

Yingbu laughed and said: "Isn't this equivalent to acting here every day? If that were the case, I would come and watch it every day."

Xu Fan smiled and said: "The one above was made by the First Emperor. Everyone said that if you give one gold, you can sit for one stick of incense. Is anyone here to sit on it?"

Ying preached: "There are many rich people in Luoyang City. If the King of Han really sets the price like this, I'm afraid the people sitting on the First Emperor's table will queue up from here to outside Luoyang City."

Liu Bang walked up carelessly, sat down with his feet crossed and said, "I don't think there's anything strange about sitting, and my feet are numb. I didn't even know to put a bamboo chair here."

"I am the First Emperor, and you still don't kneel down to me."

Yingbu smiled and said: "We have defeated the real First Emperor, not to mention you, the false First Emperor. Not to mention that you, Liu Bang, don't look like an emperor even when you are sitting on the stage.

"I really haven't done anything here before, let me give it a try." After saying that, Yingbu also went up and kicked Liu Bang out of his position.

Although Yingbu didn't have much political literacy, he really didn't dare to sit in the position of the First Emperor. Now that the King of Han had said he didn't care, Yingbu naturally had no worries.

Xu Fan saw the behavior of Liu Bang and Yingbu, and it was funny to think of the story of their love and death in history.

The other generals of the Han army saw that Yingbu and Liu Bang were sitting on it, so they had no scruples. This was the seat where the First Emperor had sat. If they lose this opportunity today, they will have no chance in the future.

So the generals of the Han army rushed forward one after another to occupy the throne.

Seeing such a chaotic scene, Xu Fan could only say loudly: "Queue, everyone, sit for a quarter of an hour, and change after you are done."

Chen Ping, Chen Xiao and Jing Tao, a group of generals with noble backgrounds, only dared to see Yingbu and others messing around below.

At this time, Chen Ping only had four words in his mind: "The demons are dancing wildly."

Xu Fan walked up to Chen Ping and slapped him awake and said: "Looking at the reaction of Yingbu and the others, the seat of the First Emperor is very valuable. You can run it well. It is a profitable business and can be developed and expanded. There are not many palace maids here." Eunuch, you can let the eunuch pretend to be a minister. As long as you pay ten gold and one hundred gold, you can also become the first emperor for a day. "

Chen Ping smiled bitterly and said: "King Han, I really can't do such a thing."

What happened today was enough to shatter his outlook on life. If Xu Fan said it again, he felt a little unable to bear it.

In the next few days, the coalition forces rested under Luoyang City. The Han army organized officers and soldiers at all levels to visit the Luoyang Palace. Basically, a group of 6 people came to visit the Luoyang Palace in the morning and afternoon. Two groups of people were sent in one day. .

"Can the emperor live in such a big palace?"

The palaces in the Qin and Han Dynasties were very large, and even had certain military functions. Compared with the thatched bungalows of ordinary people, the palaces were even about the same size as a city. These soldiers in the countryside are really like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Many of them don't know where to put their hands and feet.

Sima Supervisor Jing Yu said: "This is not the place where the emperor lives. This was originally the palace of the Emperor of Zhou. After the Qin State destroyed the Zhou State, this palace belonged to the First Emperor. The First Emperor lived in Xianyang Palace most of the time."

After hearing this, the soldier said in astonishment: "Such a good house is not for living in. This is such a waste for the First Emperor."

These soldiers thought that this palace was larger than their county town and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, it turned out that no one could live in such a large house. This was a bit beyond the soldiers' imagination.

A soldier said fiercely: "The First Emperor is so hateful. He asked us to build so many cities and palaces, and so many people died. But in the end, we can't live in the palaces we built."

"Yes, the First Emperor is the most prodigal son in the world." The soldiers cursed at the First Emperor.

You have too many houses to live in, and you want us commoners to build palaces for you. Countless people die every year because of the palace construction. The First Emperor does not regard them as human beings at all.

Sima Supervisor Jing Yu looked at the angry soldiers in shock. Is this considered an ideological education?
In the large square outside the palace, Wei Wang Jiu, Zhao Wang Xie and others also entered here, and then they experienced the scenes of tourist attractions in later generations. No matter where they went, there were dense crowds of people.

Wang Jiu of Wei and Wang Xie of Zhao, who were from noble backgrounds, could not adapt to such an environment, so they simply walked to the square where there were relatively few people.

Zhao Wangxie looked at the scene full of people and said, "What did the King of Han want to do when he arrived? I don't know, I thought the King of Han was practicing how to attack the Qin Palace."

Zhang Er smiled bitterly and said: "It does have a little relationship, because the King of Han called this 'vaccination'."

Zhao Wang Xie, Wei Wang Jiu, and Zhou Shi all looked at Zhang Er inexplicably, completely unable to understand the meaning of this word.

Zhang Er said: "The last time the Han army violated military regulations on a large scale, the King of Han was worried that what happened in Handan County would happen in Guanzhong, so he let the soldiers enter the palace of the Zhou royal family in advance."

King Zhao rested and said, "Don't the King of Han know that doing this is not good for us?"

Zhao Wangxie felt that God really did not want them to have an easy time. The first emperor had destroyed most of the nobility in the world. Obviously everyone was related, and they had to save face when they were fighting. Didn’t the first emperor know that destroying the aristocracy was the way to do it? Destroying himself, indeed now even Great Qin will be destroyed.

And the current King of Han does not let them have an easy time. What he does has been destroying their legal principles of ruling the world. So many soldiers have seen the palace and even went deep into the court palace and the emperor's bedroom. What majesty can they say about the royal family? . If the First Emperor was killing people, then the King of Han was trying to kill people.

Zhang Er shook his head and said: "I have never understood what King Han is thinking, and naturally I don't know why King Han would do such a thing."

Zhou Shi said in confusion: "This is not a big deal. The King of Han also did this to enforce military discipline, but the general felt that the King should let our soldiers come in and take a look. Originally, the Han army was treated better than us, but now the Han army The soldiers have seen the palace, but our soldiers have not. This will make the soldiers dissatisfied."

King Zhao rested and said: "We can't let them come if we are dissatisfied. We can't control the King of Han, but we must control these soldiers under our command."

Wei Wangjiu sighed and said: "I remember that when I was a child, I came here with my father and paid homage to the Emperor of Zhou. At that time, King Zhou Nan was forced by a group of merchants to hide on a high platform. I was extremely shocked at that time.

This was the Emperor of Zhou, the co-ruler of the world, but he was forced by a group of merchants to hide on a high platform in the palace and did not dare to come down. This was the decline of the Zhou family. But today, countless soldiers from King Han entered the palace of the emperor. The world has changed, and the Zhou family has become an ordinary person. "

"There is no need to think about the reasons why the King of Han did this. We only need to know that the King of Han is now the common ruler of the world. He has the right and qualification to formulate new rules for the world. We can only obey this rule."
