“Sir, this ancient tribal expansion is the same as the war of the princely states today?”
Qin Wang Zheng said in surprise.
“In essence, it’s all about satisfying the leader’s desire to become the only supreme!”
“The emergence of wisdom has made humans far superior to beasts that only have survival instincts, but it has also given humans more ideas, the most obvious of which are comparisons and the ambitions that come with them.”
“In fact, if the major tribes can coexist peacefully, with the size of the world, they can expand outward together without interfering.
This still holds true today.
Don’t look at the territory of the Seven Kingdoms today is more prosperous than the Shang Zhou in the past, but compared with the whole world, it is just a drop in the ocean.
Take the nomadic alien races that have plagued Qin, Zhao, and Yan for thousands of years as an example, although the resources of the steppe in which they live are a little poor, but in terms of territory, it is not much smaller than the sum of the seven countries. ”
“If it weren’t for the fact that the grassland is located in the north, it is even more bitter and cold than in Guanzhong, and it is also infighting with various tribes, I am afraid that the hinterland of the Central Plains would have been trampled on long ago!”
Su Han said in a deep voice: “In ancient times, it was the same, the people’s hearts were greedy and wild, and they were more wary of the rest of the tribes, and in the end, they had to fight until only one co-master remained
To put it more bluntly, there is a person who has convinced the rest of the people before peace can be declared temporarily! ”
“Sir, is it Emperor Xuanyuan?”
Qin Wang Zheng asked.
“Exactly!”
“After a long period of fighting, a unique leader finally appeared among the tribes, who conquered the tribes with great wisdom and martial strategy, and was revered as the co-master of the human emperor.”
“Some of the remnants of the Jiuli tribe who did not want to admit defeat left the Central Plains and migrated to the reckless wilderness, so that they have the current Baiyue departments!”
“After ascending the throne, the Yellow Emperor gathered the strength of the major tribes, and his pioneering achievements were very obvious, and his prestige was unique.
Due to the Yellow Emperor’s relatively long life, after his immortal departure, the co-lordship was inherited by his grandson Zhuan Yi.
Compared with the Yellow Emperor, although Zhuan Yi is also quite talented, but after all, there is a gap, so the third co-master is chosen, and Zhuan Yi can finally not compete for the opposition of the sect and choose his nephew Di Xuan.
After Emperor Xuan’s death, he was originally appointed to succeed his son Zheng, but due to his poor performance, he was forced to abdicate the throne not long before he was succeeded by Emperor Zhao’s other son, Yao.
Yao’s sons and nephews were not in the throne, and it was difficult to sit firmly even if they had a will, so before his death, Yao chose the Shun of the same clan as his heir, that is, the Zen system that Confucius praised many times.
The Zen system has a wider range of choices than bloodline inheritance, and theoretically the ability to elect heirs will be stronger.
But still that sentence, the human heart is selfish after all, as a leader, most people will be more inclined to their own bloodline inheritance of the highest power.
Especially after the Zen system was put in place for a period of time, the new co-lord would try to suppress the descendants of the predecessor and overturn the decrees of the predecessor for his own benefit, which caused a series of chaos.
Therefore, after Yu’s son Qi successfully defeated the Zen leader Boyi, the relatively stable and more conducive to ensuring the consistency of the decree lineage system, the Zen system was completely replaced.
Of course, kings who rely on this means to inherit power will not be willing to admit that they are just a good baby, and will try to put gold on their faces, so there is the so-called divine right of kings.
What does Shang Gongzi think about this idea? ”
Su Han said in a deep voice.
“What the gentleman said does have some truth!”
Faced with Su Han’s reasoned and well-founded inference, Qin Wang Zheng thought for a long time, but did not find a better rebuttal, so he could only choose to accept it temporarily.
“Since the monarch’s divine mandate is fake, then why can it be fooled for so many years?”
Wei Zhuang suddenly asked.
“The reason is very simple, even if you deny the divine right of kings, and choose another king, it will only be born among those family clans, and it has little to do with the people.”
“On the contrary, the series of wars triggered by this will displace more people, it is better to choose to accept it!”
“In addition, most of the people are actually illiterate, and they have lived within a radius of only tens of miles all their lives, and they don’t even know who the county official is, let alone the king.”
“For the people, what they want is to eat, wear and warm, so that their families can live a better life, and they are completely victims of any royal power struggle.”
“As long as you can let the people live a good life, don’t say anything about King Han of Qin, just change a dog, that is, a dog to go up, they will not have an opinion!”
Su Han said with a smile.
“Ahem!”
Qin Wangzheng, who was drinking tea, did not take a breath and directly sprayed the tea out.
Isn’t Su Han’s words sarcastic about those mediocre kings, who are not even as good as a dog?
Although Qin Wang Zheng has full confidence in himself, the ancestors of the Qin State are not all Ming monarchs.
“So Sir means that as long as you can make the people live and work in peace, you can calm the hearts of the people and get the support of the people?”
Ganie asked.
“Exactly, military conquest is only in the form of violent oppression, so that the people dare not resist for the time being!”
“Or in other words, many people don’t know that the kingdom has changed, and they don’t care!”
“The most direct feeling of the people about the government and the imperial court behind it is how much tax will be drawn today, how much harvest will be delayed due to conscription, and the most afraid is to lose their families due to forcibly expropriation!”
“To put it another way, the reason why the people are willing to pay taxes to the imperial court, participate in conscription, and fight for the imperial court on the battlefield is actually a kind of protection fee for changing direction!”
“Whoever can protect the basic stability of the people, the people will be willing to support it, and the rule of the imperial court will be stabilized.”
“The so-called heavenly right of kings, I personally think, it is better to replace this heavenly way with a human way, that is, to represent the willingness of the overwhelming majority of the people to survive and multiply, in order to be recognized as a king!”
“If we can do better, let the people be grateful to Dade, worship and support from the heart, there will be qi blessings to the king and the court, that is, the so-called humanitarian luck!”
“To use a more mythical word, that is, to truly serve the people, you can get feedback from the power of faith of the people, the higher the power of faith, the richer the blessing!”
“To put it more bluntly, it is what Mencius said about the right way and more help, and the wrong way is helpless, and the world is smooth!”
Su Han said solemnly.
After all, it is Gao Wu or the fantasy world, there is a big gap between the rules and history of Qin Shi, and Su Han also groped for a long time before he first glimpsed the door
In the Qin Shi world, human luck does not only exist in myths and legends!
