Chapter 104: Stepping into the snow
He Xi suddenly said: "Mr. Zhan, you think that reform is about rebuilding the world. I think you are right. But in the new world, the most important thing to get rid of is the emperor."
Zhan Ding was stunned for a moment. I don’t know what He Xi said. Chinese website
Zhan Ding's thinking has limitations. He felt that He Xi was of the Guanzi lineage, and he also felt that when He Xi ascended the throne of God in the future, there would be a new world. But he never thought that what He Xi wanted to do was to capture the emperor.
He simply couldn't believe what the world would be like without the emperor.
But Zhan Ding's words made He Xi reorganize her thoughts and make up her mind.
In fact, when he was studying, He Xi didn't quite understand Mr. Sai and Mr. De in the May 4th Movement. Science naturally understood them. The scientific system is superior to the traditional Chinese academic system, so it is natural to introduce it. As for democracy, I don’t think there is anything good about it. In particular, Americans are killing people everywhere in the name of democracy. And know that the Chinese government is undemocratic and so on.
He doesn’t even think that this thing is good. If democracy only has one model of American democracy, then it’s not democratic.
However, now that I think about it, this is all because the word democracy has been polluted by American democracy.
The reason why an emperor is needed is that China is such a large country that it needs a core. Otherwise, we will surely fall into the abyss of fragmentation. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was never a day without fighting, which already illustrates this point. But the emperor himself took the world as his own private property.
Put aside the interests of the people of the world. Even a simple matter of changing a program to keep pace with the times must be turned upside down.
This model cannot adapt to industrialized society at all.
The frequency of various changes in later generations is so fast that the feudal dynasty's handling model is expected to face several crises of national subjugation within ten years.
Now He Xi is setting up industry in Liaodong, and he has realized this.
What he has actually been doing in the past two years is to expand production and find demand. Find a balance between the two. It sounds like if you add more flour and water, and more water and flour, he will produce more and need to find ways to sell it. Demand increased. We need to find ways to expand production.
Maintain a balance between the two, if it cannot be maintained? financial crisis.
That's the economic crisis.
In an agricultural society, production occurs twice a year at this frequency. The production frequency and capital turnover of industrial society are very different from those of agricultural society. There are too many things to face and adjust every day.
Not everyone can stand in the way of the Fed chairman. It is estimated that even a workaholic like Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to maintain a modern country in all aspects of politics, economy, military, science and technology at the same time.
Therefore, the emperor's monopoly on public power, which would rather maintain a bad way of running society than allow others to interfere with this power, must be changed.
It must also change.
Zhan Ding said: "What exactly do you want to do?"
He Xi said: "I don't want to do anything. Everyone in the world belongs to everyone in the world. If the great road is followed, the world is fair. I just want to implement what the sages said."
Zhan Ding said: "Do you want to introduce a concession system?"
He Xi shook his head and said: "We have to adjust measures to local conditions, and concessions have long been out of date. Now the introduction of a concession system will only let the world fall into the hands of ambitious people. Determination will not work."
China is so deeply influenced by the idea of emperors that almost everyone has a dream of being emperor. Even in later generations, this will be the case. Therefore, he will give in to the next one, worried about what will happen to the next one? What will happen next?
He Xi doesn’t know.
Therefore, neither the presidential system nor any other system will work.
Zhan Ding said: "Then what do you want to do?"
He Xi was actually a little confused.
His superstructure design for the future is now just an idea. How to do it specifically? He really hadn't thought about it.
Seeing this, Zhan Ding said, "I'm about to die, don't you want to tell me?"
He Xi said: "Well, my idea is to be a virtual king. Your Majesty does not have to personally manage the general affairs. The great government of the world belongs to the prime minister, and the prime minister has a term of office. What your Majesty has to do is to maintain the court's laws and obey the rules of the world. The people's will determines the candidate for prime minister."
Of course, this was just He Xi's temporary thought.
I haven't thought about many things.
The Xujun allows someone to occupy the emperor's position and become the defender of the court. What he only maintains is the court's laws, that is, the system in which the prime minister has overall power over the world, and allows the prime minister to use people. Of course, this does not rely on the emperor's character. There is a complex and fair process behind it. For example, the imperial recommendation system in the late Ming Dynasty. Or the parliamentary electoral system.
The specific situation still depends on the situation.
Nothing can be taken for granted.
Zhan Ding suddenly smiled and said: "I know that your Majesty has been favored by Your Majesty and played the piano and sesame with Princess Anqing. But I never expected that your Majesty is still thinking about Princess Anqing at this time. However, your Majesty also said that you should not rebel. ? Isn’t this a rebellion?”
He Xi laughed and said, "No, I think this is called revolution."
Zhan Ding said: "Whether it's rebellion or revolution. I hope you can use this thing."
He Xi was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Since it is a revolution, there is no need for this thing. You can keep it for yourself."
Zhan Ding was silent for a while and said: "I really want to live a few more years to see what the world is like in the minds of adults? If the revolution succeeds in the future, don't forget to burn it to me."
He Xi said: "I will."
------
When He Xi left Zhan's house, it was already snowing outside.
In Liaodong, snowing is normal. Not snowing is abnormal.
He Xi suddenly got off the carriage. Screen the follower. Only Wang Qianli followed, and He Xi strode through the heavy snow. The biting cold wind rushed towards him, but it could not extinguish the fire in his heart.
This kind of passion comes from faith and recognition. It also came from the resistance to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Since he came to Ming Dynasty, he has actually been wandering in the circle drawn by Zhu Yuanzhang. But at this moment, he finally understood what he wanted to do and what he wanted? The future he wants, and how to achieve it.
Previously, I was worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's death because I was thinking about the issue of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to get the support of the new emperor.
But now it is no longer needed.
Because he knows who the new emperor is? It is impossible for him to support him like Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's not because they don't know the future. But because they are not Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Ming Dynasty was built by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change the Ming Dynasty system, and he had no psychological burden at all. Don't worry about anything. Because Zhu Yuanzhang is the king and the emperor, he is both the emperor and the busiest prime minister in the Ming Dynasty.
The power of the Ming Dynasty. Or public power is in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's monarchy was not leaked at all. He is not afraid of any challenge.
But no matter who succeeds, if Zhu Yuanzhang's power is transferred to their hands, there will definitely be losses. And quite a lot of wear and tear. At this time, the emperor wanted to keep his power, so he tried to do as few risky things as possible to balance the situation.
And what is a risky thing to do? What Zhu Yuanzhang wanted He Xi to do was risky.
Because although He Xi refused to give in, many people also said that He Xi hated him to the core, and both parties must be injured. But He Xi is a person after all. Apart from He Xi, He Xi's faction will become irrelevant. But on the side of the scholar-bureaucrats, there is strength in numbers. Kill one or two, and there will still be a large number of rising stars.
This is not a joke.
If they continue to fight, the government and the public will be uneasy and even affect their own throne.
What is the best solution for an emperor?
Kill him or someone to calm the public's anger.
This is Shang Yang's chariot cracked. The power logic of Wang Anshi's resignation as prime minister and the liquidation after Zhang Juzheng's death.
"Sorry, Your Majesty." He Xi's hair was blown white by the wind and snow. She seemed to have aged dozens of years and become much more mature.
.
"I'm sorry, Yuan'er. I must fight for this matter." He Xi had already walked out of the Shenyang city gate. Standing on a high place, looking far into the distance, you can see the mountains wearing filial piety, thousands of forests icy, and endless wind and snow between heaven and earth. There is no way forward and no way back. There is no limit to the confusion.
Just like his current path, what he wants to fight for is the power of the world after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
