Liu Yu frowned and said: "Miaoyin, do you think you are going crazy for your own ideals? Is it also crazy to give all people in the world a chance to succeed and an environment where they can live and work in peace and contentment?
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "About this, I have always wanted to tell you that for thousands of years, the world has formed such an order. Just as you hate the power inherited by blood and the emperor system, But no matter what, everyone in the world believes in the divine right of kings, especially ordinary people believe this. Although we all know what the Sima family is, unless someone can follow the hearts of the people and replace it with destiny, people all over the world will think that the Sima family is the right one. Looking back, if Jinzuo really ends, I don’t know how many people will come out to fight for it. In the end, won’t it be the common people who suffer?
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I promised that if necessary, I would inherit the throne and replace the Sima family just to conform to the world's perception. Isn't this okay?
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "You just sit in that position because you want to have power. But brother Yu, changing dynasties since ancient times has never been a matter of one person, but with an interest group, if there is not a large number of powerful and powerful How can you have a stable position if your foundational family comes to support you?
"Just like the Sima family, and the Cao family even earlier, when they took over the world, almost all the officials in the court agreed, and almost no one objected. Only at this point can we say that the world has returned to its heart.
As for the earlier Han Dynasty, this was even more true. When Liu Bang founded the country, he did not think about the people of the world. He only needed to appease Feng Fei Yuan and then slowly divide the Liu family kings. Liu Xiu raised his army by relying on In addition to the power of powerful families in Hebei, the system after the founding of the People's Republic of China did not suppress mergers and rely on powerful people, because these people are their foundation.
"This is the case even in our Jin Dynasty. Those heroes and aristocratic families during the southern crossing were often close to the country, but they are still high-ranking families today. Why did Tianshi Dao raise troops to massacre the aristocratic families of Sanwu, but they fought with the soldiers of Wu? The wealthy families colluded. It was for this reason that Tianshi Tao wanted to destroy the Jin Dynasty, destroy the Sima family, and at the same time destroy all the major families. This was their fundamental purpose.
Liu Yu nodded and said: "So, you want me not only to sit on the throne myself, but also to pass it on to my descendants, and also to entrust heroes and rely on aristocratic families, in order to attract a large number of forces with common interests to join me. Shall we guard this world together?
Wang Miaoyin said seriously: "I know you don't like this hereditary system of blood inheritance, but this system has been spread for two to three thousand years since the Xia Dynasty. It is really difficult to change the world's views all of a sudden. After all, blood Inheritance has a righteous name of filial piety, which is not something you just say you don’t have.
If a person doesn't even take care of his or her closest relatives but says that he only cares about all the people, then others will not think you are very noble, and more likely they will think you are a deceitful woman like Wang Mang.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Wang Mang is trying to reform the ancient system and pursue his own selfish interests in the name of justice. It is unrealistic. But I want to end this troubled world and bring real benefits to all people. How can it be the same thing?
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "Although there are many disadvantages to this kind of inheritance of aristocratic families and this kind of hereditary power, one thing is worthy of affirmation, and that is order and stability. At the beginning of the establishment of every dynasty, there are When the world is first settled and people's minds are at peace, just like when you restored the Jin Dynasty and defeated the Huru, everyone in the world believed in you and was willing to abide by your rules and obey your orders.
But you are not a god, and you cannot create thousands of clones, so you can only rely on your subordinates, relying on the level-by-level official system, to manage the world, relying on the entire management system from the prime minister to the village officials. Let your will be done.
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, all government agencies and political power are hierarchical in this way, and I am no exception. I now understand a little bit what you mean. What you want to say is that hereditary power can allow this kind of management." After the system stabilizes and the people adapt or are willing to be ruled by this kind of rule, over time, the hierarchy will be strict and divided up and down. This is the so-called Confucian etiquette system, right?
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, the advantage of this system is stability, but the disadvantage is that if it continues for a long time, there will be no descendants, and there will be no survival of the fittest. As time goes by, aristocratic families and powerful people will
The more unscrupulous descendants there are, they become vampires riding on the heads of the people. The country cannot collect taxes and cannot produce talents, and the people at the bottom are exploited and squeezed. Life will become more and more miserable. At a certain time, there will inevitably be internal and external troubles, and even It was internal and external troubles that came together, just like the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the end of the Western Jin Dynasty.
"So, I must use substitution, elimination, elimination, to rejuvenate this decadent and declining system, so that talented people or brave men can have a chance to replace those incompetent idiots. . This is my newly established system of winning military titles and using titles as officials. Isn’t it true that I have found a way that everyone can accept?
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "Only for military merit, officials are assigned positions. The biggest problem is that these soldiers who have made meritorious service on the battlefield do not have the ability to govern the place. They don't even know how to read. Their bravery on the battlefield and after they return Governance is two different things.
Another problem is corruption. It does not mean that rich people must be evil and poor people must be kind. Many poor people do not get rid of corruption, not because they are noble, but because they have never had this opportunity and have never had it. over power.
On the contrary, once you have power in your hands and lack of restrictions, you are likely to become more greedy than the original corrupt officials. This has been proven by many old brothers in Beifu.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "So I want to popularize education. At least I must first let the nephews of meritorious soldiers be cultivated in literary and artistic fields. Later, I will find a way to build a team of supervisory officials such as censors and tingwei, who can do all the work." To monitor all local officials, only when the cost of corruption for corrupt officials is unacceptably high can all this be eliminated from the source.
Of course, these are things for later. The immediate priority is to repel the demon thief's attack. Only by surviving first can we have a future.
Wang Miaoyin's expression was solemn: "If you still cling to that lofty ideal and still want to offend the noble family, I'm afraid Liu Tingyun or Tao Yuanming may not be able to let us survive this time.
