Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 613 Teaching Children (2)

Zhou Xin hesitated again and again, and finally asked: "Dare to ask father, how should the child deal with himself?"

Zhou Cang's eyes were fixed, yes, he said that he could not be hereditary, and repeatedly emphasized his ability and achievements. He is not yet the emperor, how can he pass the position to Zhou Xin in the future?Zhou Xin is not asking how to deal with himself, but is worried about being criticized by others.

"Do you know why my father asked you to go to Yingzhou?"

"Father wants the child to practice and observe politics." Zhou Xin seemed to have realized something: "Does father have other intentions?"

"Experience and observation of politics are secondary. I want you to understand why I set up courts and parliaments. You are too young to understand. Since we are talking about this today, you might as well tell me more.

The emperor hunts for the sky, not to mention the ability of the king, how many things in the world need to be dealt with?Even if there are many opportunities in the day, it is not enough, so there are a group of ministers to help each other.However, the selection and appointment of people is often based on the king's likes and dislikes. It is inevitable that there will be bias. The king is the king and refuses to let his ministers fully. Therefore, sometimes they set up a position, and then set up three princes. After Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao monopolized power, the king's power was exhausted. Lost, so everyone said there was a conspiracy of rebellion.

I correct the reason, it is all because of the rule of man, because of the rule of man, the world will be in chaos if the king is incompetent;To solve this problem, only the rule of man and the legal system go hand in hand. The rule of man alone often depends on a single thought. How can the rule of law alone and the rule of man survive alone? "

This passage was like a tongue twister, and Zhou Xin understood half of it: "Father said that the rule of man is the House of Representatives, and the legal system is the court? The selection and appointment of people is the academy?"

"Exactly, if there is a House of Representatives, authority will not be concentrated in one person; if there is a court, then there will be laws to act, if there are laws for everything; if there are students, you can not only educate the people, but also choose the best ones to use, so why worry about it?" Will it be messy?"

"That's the reason, but if there is something established, there will be a broken one. Father doesn't worry about someone subverting it?"

"So I set up a college and a missionary department to spread this way. If it fails in ten years, then it will be 50 or 100 years. When this way is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will be difficult to overthrow it. Even if the most talented people discard it, it will not be used. How long will it take to revive this way, because this is the only way to achieve long-term peace and stability."

"Wouldn't the king have no power, just like today's son?"

"The king is still the leader of the people, the lord of the world, and his descendants will be passed down for generations. The so-called imperial power is nothing more than protecting the country and the country. Since there are divisions to perform their duties, why should the king monopolize the imperial power? Is it only for a moment of pleasure, just to satisfy the individual Likes and dislikes?"

Zhou Xin finally understood that the permanent preservation of the throne is not about consolidating and taking over the imperial power, but handing over the imperial power. In that case, even if he is not a wise king, he will not lose the throne. No matter how lewd the king is, at most he will be deposed or passed on to his son. Preserve the succession to the throne.In other words, his father Zhou Cang and himself are defenders of the Tao, establishing the Dao.

But that's not what Zhou Wen usually told himself. He always instilled in himself the emperor's mind... Hearing what his father said, it seemed more reasonable.

Zhou Cang said slowly: "Actually, this is not created by my father. In the west, there are countries that prosper, which is called a constitutional monarchy. There are also countries that are like our dynasty, and there are even countries that do not have a king, which is called a republic. I think this way It is most suitable for our country, and I will tell you slowly in the future."

"Yes." Zhou Xin suddenly remembered something. "Father, the day after tomorrow is Pengfei's big wedding day, should I go or not?"

"Go, of course. Your mother has passed away for more than a year, why can't you go? I'd like to see the reaction, but you don't need to dress too brightly or too plainly, just be elegant."

"Yes. Father is tired and rests earlier, and the child will leave."

"Go." Zhou Cang rubbed his two temples, it really hurts his head.Zhou Cang is very relieved that his son has grown up and started to think about problems.

I have been in Xuzhou for 20 years, and I have tried every means to change customs, but it seems that there is still a long way to go.This is just Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou?Those places must be more difficult, and looking at the world, Zhou Cang dare not think about it.

The strength of the Mission Department is still a little weak. I will talk to Jiang Gan tomorrow to double the size of the Mission Department. Offices must be set up in every state, county, and even county. Officials must go to the Mission Department for training before taking office. Carry out rotation training for incumbent officials.

Deng Ai's wedding was very lively. Many people did not expect Zhou Xin to appear, but Wang Can, Sun Qian and others who insisted on Zhou Xin's funeral at the beginning did not persist this time. Wu Gong has already made concessions once, and they cannot force Wu Gong to make further concessions.This is undoubtedly a signal sent by Zhou Cang. Wu Gong is in favor of re-establishing the ceremony, which undoubtedly speeds up the process of the debate.

Xu Shu also rushed to Tancheng from Yecheng. He was not specially for Deng Ai's big wedding, but to visit his mother and take her to Jizhou. He has already settled down, so it's not a big deal to always put his mother in Wugong's mansion. The second is to discuss the next deployment with Zhou Cang. Cao Cao stands still, and he can't just sit and wait. How to use troops needs to be planned early.

Zhou Cang, Zhou Wen, Xu Shu, and Duan Muling gathered in Baihutang, while Deng Ai went to enjoy the wedding leave.With Cao Cao sitting in Xudu and 20 troops under his command, it is really difficult to break through Cao Cao's lair.Sun Quan was so disappointing. The [-] people couldn't take the small Hefei, but were defeated by Zhang Liao's [-] riders. If Sun Quan could take Hefei and threaten Shouchun, it would be a different situation.

Sun Quan will not be able to count on it for a while, so it can only depend on Liu Bei.Xu Shu murmured: "If Liu Bei can invade Hanzhong, even if he can't mobilize Cao Cao, at least he will make Cao Cao divide his troops. Then we will have an opportunity, but will Liu Bei send troops? How can Liu Bei be captured by Sun Quan? Don't be wary of Sun Quan?"

Old Zhou Wen's eyes flashed with a gleam. "I think of one person, maybe this plan can be done if he comes forward."

"Could it be Wen Chang that Yuan Fang said?" A name that hadn't been mentioned for a long time, Wei Yan Wei Wen Chang, Zhou Cang's eldest disciple, Liu Bei's partial general.Zhou Cang and Liu Bei were incompatible, and it was impossible to send messengers to each other, so they had to find someone who could talk to each other.Zhou Cang thought for a while: "You can give it a try, I don't know how the chief is doing now."

"My lord, you might as well tell him clearly that Liu Bei will take Hanzhong, and I will take Yanzhou. Each of the two will take what they need and each will get their own benefits. As far as Liu Bei is concerned: First, you can crusade against national thieves and respect the Han Dynasty; Middle, you can eat away at Yongzhou and Liangzhou." , to open up the country; next, you can stick to the key points and fight for a long time. It will not do him any harm." Zhou Wen twirled his sparse beard, and accidentally fell off a few, feeling distressed. "As for Sun Quan, we can send someone to persuade him to get on well with Liu Bei, so as to put Liu Bei at ease."
