I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 328 You are not a fish, so how do you know the joy of a fish?
"..."

After listening to Gongsun Qing's translation, several nobles of the Minu tribe looked at each other in surprise.

They came to negotiate with the Han army on the orders of their leader, begging the Han army to show leniency to the Minu tribe. To put it bluntly, they came to beg for surrender.

Before coming, they were mentally prepared to pay a huge price.

These included offering their tribal food, their tribal residents, giving up part of their tribal land and other harsh conditions, as long as the Han army did not directly wipe them out like they did to the previous tribes and did not let their residents chop off the heads of their leaders and tribesmen.

Even though their civilization was far from being as developed as that of the Han Dynasty, they still had the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm and to fear death, knowing that when a person dies, everything is gone.

However, with such shortcomings, they were absolutely unable to fight against the powerful Han army.

The results of it?
After meeting them, these adults did not put forward any conditions to them. Instead, they treated them just like living people, "granting them the power and strength to pursue fairness, and the courage and spirit to resist"?
At this time, they have not yet understood the truth that "free is often the most expensive."

They are more curious about:
"Excuse me, sir, what does Daiwa mean?"

"Call me God's messenger!"

Gongsun Qing maintained his dignity the entire time and spoke to several nobles from the Minu tribe with a serious look.

"Hey! Messenger of God! Messenger of God! May I ask, what exactly does our Great Japanese destiny mean?"

Several nobles of the Minu tribe bowed 120 degrees as usual and asked respectfully.

Today's Wajima tribes have not yet truly formed the concept of a country. Even the nobles who have a relatively high status in the tribe are mostly just vassals and assistants of the leader, and there is no clear division of official positions and responsibilities.

In history, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the exchanges between the various tribes of Wa and the Han Dynasty became increasingly frequent, the tribes of Wa began to imitate the official system of the Han Dynasty, forming a seven-level official system from the central to the local level headed by the Three Dukes, including "Dai Wa, Dai Su, and Dai Fu". Therefore, now they really have no concept of "Dai Wa", and all matters are respected by the leader.

"Your Great Japanese destiny is..."

Gongsun Qing first glanced at Liu Ju, and after getting Liu Ju's approval, he came to his senses, spread a piece of white silk on the table, and then drew a pyramid on it with a charcoal pencil.

As the pyramid was completed, he divided it into five layers using horizontal lines.

"The Emperor of Heaven is granted power by heaven and is above all other things. He is the supreme god and therefore cannot be counted among them."

"And the first level below the Emperor of Heaven is us who embody the will of the Emperor of Heaven. We are the divine messengers at the top. The divine messengers follow the orders of the Emperor of Heaven to ensure the fairness and continuity of fate, determine the fate of each person, and convey the will of the Emperor of Heaven."

"And the second level below us is you big Japanese."

"You are the assistants of the God's messengers. You help the God's messengers to carry out the will of the Emperor of Heaven, serve the God's messengers of the Emperor of Heaven, and ensure that the will and blessings of the Emperor of Heaven come upon everyone."

"The third level below you is the Japanese. They are the assistants and worshippers of your Great Japan."

"And the fourth level below the Japanese is the lower households. Today's living people are no longer living people. Lower households are their destiny. You must ensure that the lower households obtain their destiny of freedom. They can be tenants, servants, followers, and coolies, but they are no longer anyone's living people and cannot be arbitrarily executed or punished."

"Below the lower households, they are the real living beings."

"Anyone who goes against the will of the Emperor of Heaven, deprives others of their destiny, obstructs fairness, destroys fairness, and commits a crime, such as your leader, they and their descendants will be living creatures for generations to come, and are untouchable. Even those who get close to living creatures will be polluted and reduced to lowly living creatures."

"Fate is determined by heaven."

"This is true for the Great Japanese, Japanese people, lower households, and living people. People with different destinies cannot marry each other, otherwise it will violate their destiny. The offspring born in this way will be cursed and become untouchable living people."

"Only the descendants of the Great Japanese remain the Great Japanese, and the descendants of the Japanese remain the Japanese, and so on."

"Besides that, everyone's destiny is not set in stone."

"You have all seen death, but you don't know that after death, people will be reincarnated. After reincarnation, they will be reborn again. The reason why people's fate is determined from birth is precisely because of reincarnation."

"For example, if someone is born as a slave, it means that in his previous life, he must have violated the will of the Emperor of Heaven, deprived others of their destiny, obstructed fairness, destroyed fairness, committed crimes, and was therefore punished."

"So as long as the living people behave themselves, atone for their sins, and endure enough suffering in this life, they will be reborn as lower-class people in the next life. If they have forgiven all their sins in this life, they may even be reborn as Japanese or Great Japanese in the next life, or even as a messenger of God."

"Is what I said clear enough?"

At this point, Gongsun Qing paused for a moment and looked at several nobles from the Minu tribe.
"It may be difficult for you to understand these secrets in a short time, but don't worry. Since the divine envoy has come with the mission of the Heavenly Emperor, he will build a shrine in your tribe when the time is right and gradually pass on the secrets to everyone."

"Now you just need to know that fate is a destiny that you can never escape."

"You were born as the Great Japanese, and you are only subordinate to the messengers of God. This is your original destiny. Your lowly dog ​​violated the will of the Emperor of Heaven and robbed you of your destiny. He is just a lowly living thing. He has no right to enjoy everything that belongs to you. He is untouchable."

"This is exactly why we came here on the orders of the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven is merciful, so we must put things right. Otherwise, Heaven will punish you, and none of you will be spared."

"Are you willing to share in the punishment of heaven and perish with the living because of their wrongdoings?"

"..."

After hearing this theory they had never heard of before, several nobles from the Minu tribe were a little confused and looked at each other with hesitation.

However, they can understand the differences in levels from God's messengers to living beings.

After all, even in the tribes of tribal slavery, classes have long been formed. Moreover, the hierarchical names such as "shengkou" and "xiahu" already exist in their class system. This is a change made by Liu Ju after he learned about their tribal social structure in order to make it easier for them to understand.

Also.

From Gongsun Qing's explanation, they also roughly understood what changes were made to this new class system compared to the previous one.

Except for the tribal leader's family, which was directly demoted from the highest level to the lowest level of living people, all other levels moved up a step.

They were supposed to be Japanese in the new system, but now they have become the Great Japanese.

The original lower households were upgraded to become Japanese.

The previous residents were promoted to lower-income households.

Only the family of the tribal leader, who was in the absolute minority, was harmed, and it was the kind of harm that fell directly from the sky into the cesspool...

Do they welcome this system?
Of course you are welcome!

Who wouldn't want to go a step further?

Moreover, they could imagine that, except for an absolute minority of tribal leader families, the rest of the people would welcome this system, and even those who opposed this system would become enemies of everyone.

Most importantly, this system is backed by the invincible "Emperor of Heaven", "God's Messenger" and "Heavenly Soldiers".

After they become the Great Wo, their power and class will be more stable and longer-lasting than ever before, because this is their destiny!
And if they do not welcome this system.

The invincible "heavenly soldiers" will soon wipe out their tribe. As people who go against the will of the Emperor of Heaven and do not follow their fate, they will be beheaded alive. Even if they survive by chance, they will become prisoners...

After a long time.

"Hey! God's messenger, we now know what to do!"

Several nobles of the Minu tribe bowed 120 degrees again and answered respectfully.

"As long as you know."

Liu Ju nodded slightly and said to Gongsun Qing,
"Translate this to them. The punishment from the heavens due to the fateful chaos is very near. We have no time to waste. Three days. We will only give them three days. After three days, the heavenly soldiers will descend on the Minu tribe on time."

"It is to accept the fate of the Great Wo and bring the tribe to welcome the heavenly soldiers."

"Or go against the will of the Emperor of Heaven and perish with them. It all depends on their choice."

……

I couldn't wait for three days. After two days, the nobles of the Minu tribe personally delivered a human head.

——The head of a Beigou of the Minu tribe.

Zhao Zhou and others were shocked when they learned about this.

It was also during these few days that they gained some understanding of the so-called "fatalistic" system created at the instruction of Liu Ju.

Ni Kuan even went out of his way to pay homage to the so-called "Shinto" books compiled by Gongsun Qing and those alchemists and wizards, but in the end he could only come to this conclusion:

What a mess, is this going to work?
At least if this "fatalistic" system is applied to the Han Dynasty today, it will definitely not work.

If you want to rebel in the Han Dynasty, you must shout out the phrase "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all born with a certain kind of blood?" Otherwise, you will not be able to trick people into working for you.

Even the fact that this dynasty later earned the reputation of "Han's greatest talent pool" was because the emperor of the time was not bound by any rules and only promoted people based on their talents. Ni Kuan himself was a beneficiary. Otherwise, with his background, he would never have been able to serve as an official in the court, let alone serve as the Zuo Nei Shi today.

Are the demands of these savages so low?

It was also because Liu Ju did not hear their inner doubts, otherwise he would definitely have retorted:
"You have such doubts because of your inner arrogance, the arrogance of a higher-dimensional civilization towards a lower-dimensional civilization. You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?"

As far as Liu Ju knows, this system of a certain mysterious oriental country originated in the late Vedic period.

That period was similar to the early Yayoi period in Japan. It was the early stages of the transition from a clan-tribal slavery social system, and it was a fertile breeding ground for this system.

It can only be blamed on the fact that Japan was too lucky in history. At this stage, it could and could only come into contact with Chinese civilization. Under the guidance of Chinese civilization, it avoided the fate of embarking on a strange path.

Civilization has always only moved upward, not downward.

The Chinese civilization, which has long been ahead of the world, will never be affected by any foreign systems. Even if foreign races enter the Central Plains, they will only be assimilated and diluted.

And this time...

After Liu Ju looked at the head, he said to Gongsun Qing:

"Order ten alchemists and wizards to bring the Shinto scriptures to the Minu tribe and have them cooperate in setting up a shrine. Then we can officially begin preaching to these savages."
