Because there is no need for the emperor to exist at all.
As soon as this sentence was said, some people among the people present were ready to express different opinions.
Guan Luoyang raised his hand to signal them to calm down, and continued: "Listen to me carefully first."
"Yes, on the land of China, the existence of the emperor has long been a long-standing tradition. Whether he is a virtuous, heroic, or a cruel or short-sighted person, once he gains power, gathers people, and occupies territory, he will We must call ourselves kings and emperors, and we must pursue monopoly of power and supreme authority.”
"Honestly, such pursuit cannot be said to be entirely wrong. Without such ambition, how many heroic deeds would be missing in history?"
"No one doesn't want to have enough power to do what they want, and no one doesn't want to be respected by everyone. But the difference between humans and beasts is that while humans pursue happiness, they also know how to exercise restraint."
Guan Luoyang faced Fang La and said, "Fang Shangshu, if I want to sit on the emperor's seat, you will not be dissatisfied, but if I have a child, for my own selfish purposes, I will let a child sit on the emperor's seat after I leave. What do you think about the position?”
Fang La said without hesitation: "Of course I will teach him to be considerate of people's livelihood, to care about the people, and to inherit his current civil and military achievements."
Guan Luoyang smiled: "What if I can't teach well?"
Fang La frowned.
There are many explanations for the word "bad". It can mean a bad character or a lack of ability.
"If he lacks skills, we will help him. Nowadays, various places are still continuously selecting talents to fill the vacancies of local officials. There are also imperial examination channels, as well as literacy, female officials, etc. that His Majesty mentioned, there will definitely be a lot of talents in the future. "
Fang La said slowly, "But if you have a bad character and refuse to change despite repeated admonitions..."
He paused and said, "The worst we can do is start another rebellion."
Li Kaixian and other Confucian ministers frowned subconsciously.
If someone like the founding hero of the past dynasties were to say such things like Fang La, I'm afraid there would be no good days left.
But the people present are all people whom Guan Luoyang deeply trusts, not only in their abilities, but also in their character and courage.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
Therefore, even ministers like Li Kaixian, who had been trained in the poetry and etiquette of the Song Dynasty for a long time, only frowned slightly and did not really take it to heart.
As for Luda and others, they didn't think there was anything wrong with what Fang La said.
Guan Luoyang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You see, as long as the position of emperor exists, there will inevitably be a family in the world, but as long as there is a family in the world, there will always be faint kings and tyrants emerging."
"Because they are born to enjoy a superior life, they feel that they are qualified to covet the throne. No matter how pure their nature is, they will inevitably be changed by the environment in which they grow up."
"Since ancient times, there have been many foolish kings and few wise ones. This is nothing more than this principle."
Li Kaixian stood up and said: "Does Your Majesty want to change the ancient rites of benevolence three generations ago and use the abdication system? In the future, those who will be in charge of the court will not recognize blood and will be recommended only based on talent?"
"It's a bit similar." Guan Luoyang pondered, "But again, if the highest power, civil, military, and legal, is only in the hands of one person, if one day, such a person does not know restraint and wants to use this Power is passed down from generation to generation among one's descendants, can other ministers resist?"
Zhang Wanxian felt something hidden: "Your Majesty means that after you ascend, the throne will be vacant from now on, there will no longer be an emperor, and major national affairs will be decided by the ministers through discussion?"
Guan Luoyang nodded: "Exactly."
Fang La asked: "But in this case, if the ministers have different opinions, continue to argue, and cannot come up with an answer that everyone agrees with, wouldn't it delay national affairs?"
"In that case, the minority will obey the majority to arrive at the final result."
Guan Luoyang stood up and walked to the central open space among the many seats around him. With a wave of his robe sleeves, he released twenty-eight divine weapons and floated into the air.
"In the past fifty days, I have read the Longhu Mountain Secret Book, the Dynasty Qi Luck Method, etc., and spent most of my time refining these twenty-eight Guangwu Divine Weapons."
The Guangwu Divine Weapon from another world has the power to echo the national destiny, but it is the national destiny of the Han Dynasty in another world.
But now, under Guan Luoyang's baptism, the potential of these twenty-eight magical weapons has been almost completely stimulated by him. Their quality has improved to a higher level, and they are firmly linked to the national destiny of China in this world. .
Guan Luoyang said: "Today, these twenty-eight magic weapons will reflect the public opinion of China. When the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, those who hold the magic weapons will practice quickly. Once the people's hearts are turbulent and the national destiny declines, the magic weapons will immediately show ominous signs. A sign to warn those who possess it.”
"If you don't change after repeated admonitions, these twenty-eight magic weapons will echo each other and guide aspiring people to kill the evil people and clean up the country's destiny."
"Tonight, I will distribute these twenty-eight magic weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crescent shovel wrapped with a golden dragon flew towards Ruda on its own. It was originally a weapon given to him. After being collected and sacrificed, it was returned to his hand.
Han Shizhong got a black sword with flashing thunder, Zhang Wanxian got a jade seal, Fang La got a feather fan, Lin Lingsu got a long flag, and Li Kaixian got a guqin.
The remaining swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, whips, maces, hammer claws, iron ropes, mirrors, etc. were also distributed by Guan Luoyang to the hands he deemed suitable.
"These twenty-eight magic weapons have different emphasis on the national destiny. Some are biased towards military success or failure, new blood in the army, some are biased towards wind and rain weather, disaster relief and increased production, some are biased towards finance and taxation, treasury control, and other aspects. There is a focus on popularizing education, eliminating the bad and retaining the good, etc.”
"You can realize it on your own. From now on, the person who holds these twenty-eight magical weapons will be the first-level minister in power, and the rest of the people present will be the second-level political figures according to their positions."
Everyone caressed the magic weapons one by one, feeling the touch was warm and moist, and there was a faint meaning that they could glimpse into the vast hearts of the people.
Qiong rubbed the green jeweled ring on her wrist inch by inch, feeling that the national destiny was soft, long and peaceful, soft yet strong, kind but not cowardly, full of feminine charm.
She seemed to be able to see in it the future that the daughter's family in the world expected. Although most of them were just caring for their husbands and raising children, and living in peace and happiness, there were also those who yearned for fishing and hunting in the mountains and forests, scolding Fang Qiu, learning literature and martial arts, and galloping on the battlefield.
Especially for many young children, their expectations are full of vitality and full of possibilities, and they never lack the ambition to be on par with men.
"good."
She looked at the jade ring, and she said the word "good" so lovingly and tenderly.
Shi Sheng held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and scratched his cheek in confusion. Although he had worked very hard to learn to read recently, even though his cultivation was almost enough to have a photographic memory and he could already recognize many characters. .
But what is written in the bamboo slips is related to the destiny of the country. If it is an ancient text like offering sacrifices to heaven, it must be based on quotations from scriptures and the words are gorgeous, but don't expect to be able to understand it clearly.
However, when he tried to open the bamboo slips, he immediately felt it.
There are no specific and subtle words in it, but hazy images, which are the spirit of farmers, praying that the seeds will not rot, praying that the river will not dry up, praying that there will be no severe droughts, floods, and blizzards, envying the fertile land, and envying the method of breeding. .
A knowing smile appeared on Shi Sheng's face, and then the smile turned a little surprised.
Many children from farm families in various places have now participated in literacy classes. It turns out that among them, even the half-grown boys who are most regarded as naughty, although some have "big" and serious dreams.
I yearn for gentlemen who are full of poetry and calligraphy, and I yearn for the strategists, generals, and blue-sky parents in various stories.
Shi Sheng, who was born in a farm family, didn't know that there would be children from farm families with such a dream, but he really didn't expect that there would be so many such children.
Maybe there were so many things in the past, but at that time, they didn't have the opportunity to pursue and realize them.
Now, there are people who care about what they think.
Shi Sheng took a deep breath, feeling his eyes slightly hot, and carefully rolled up the bamboo slips little by little.
The responsibility of governing the country was originally an illusory thing, but the moment these magic soldiers took possession of it, it seemed to have a real weight, making them feel its heaviness and arousing impassioned pride.
In an instant, many people's faces were a little dazed, their moods were ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down.
Guan Luoyang looked at their expressions with a smile. After a long time, he took a glass of wine and said: "Everyone, I have great trust in the world and expectations for the future of the prosperous world. I will make an agreement with you in this glass of wine that cannot be broken or regretted. Covenant.”
He slowed down and looked at the rippling color of the water in the glass. He suddenly laughed and raised his wine to the moon, "I hope heroes are like the bright moon and will not decay with time."
More than a hundred people stood up together, accepted the promise generously, and drank from the glasses together.
That night, all the heroes in the garden had a great time, and they dispersed one after another at dawn.
In the end, only five people, Zhang Wanxian, Fang La, Lin Lingsu, Lu Da and Han Shizhong, were left.
Guan Luoyang gave each of them a book: "In addition to what I said last night, I have a lot of ideas."
"It's just that some of them are just fragments of words that I have heard before. They may not be complete, and some may not be suitable for this era. So I have compiled them into five copies and sent them to you."
"Your cultivation and character are the least likely to be changed by time. Maybe in twenty or thirty years, the world will be peaceful enough. There are some ideas here that you can identify, try to perfect, and make something. Do."
Several people took the books over solemnly.
Guan Luoyang said again: "There is no need to put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you have a high level of cultivation in this kind of big undertaking, you are not gods and demons after all. It can't be completed in one generation. If you cultivate excellent juniors well, there will be more and more achievements." The more people are involved, the easier it will be to create the situation we expect."
Han Shizhong's gloomy face showed a slight smile and said: "They are still leisurely. For the rest of my life, I will basically spend the rest of my life on the land that originally belonged to the Liao Kingdom, trying to naturalize the people there."
"It's hard work for you, but in the history of history, such an achievement is enough to be its own chapter."
Guan Luoyang patted his shoulder and said, "I will basically do my best to catalyze the divine clothes from now on to solve the hidden dangers of your troops."
"In addition, you should use the new technique "Biluo Daoying Gong" that I derived as soon as possible to replace "Nine Earths Piercing the Book of Changes". After I leave, it is best to urge the soldiers to use Daoying Gong as soon as possible to refine the red clothes. .”
In fact, Guan Luoyang repeatedly warned about this matter a while ago.
Combat Life Fiber is a predator floating in space, not a compassionate Bodhisattva who cuts off flesh to feed eagles.
When Luoyang was there, and the combat life fiber contained in those red clothes was not much, it didn't matter.
But if after Guan Luoyang leaves, these red clothes are treated as family heirlooms and passed down for decades or hundreds of years, it's hard to say whether something will happen.
Han Shizhong and the others agreed one after another. After all, in their understanding, the combat life fiber was a kind of poison. Things like poison naturally make people feel wary.
Lin Lingsu sighed and said: "You will ascend in forty-four days. If there was no time limit for ascending, we wouldn't have to be so hasty with many things."
"I also want to see to what extent the Immortal Way will evolve after the advantages of your technique are thoroughly combined."
Guan Luoyang sighed, his voice dragging out, and said: "Anyway, I have kept all the books. Transforming an entire system is not as easy as changing one or two books of exercises. You should do this kind of hard work slowly."
He coughed lightly and changed to a trusting and sincere tone, "I believe in your wisdom!"
Ruda grabbed the book with one hand and the wine jar with the other, reading and drinking at the same time. When he saw that they had finished chatting, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Chief, Brother Guan, the banquet is over, and there is still a lot of wine in the garden that has not been finished. , why not move them all away to the Sa family."
Fang La laughed and said, "That's not possible. At least the jar on my table must be taken away by me. After Your Majesty leaves, there will be no more imperial wine in the world. This jar of wine is worth remembering!"
Zhang Wanxian shook his head, opened his sleeves, and put in a bottle of wine: "I only need one bottle."
Han Shizhong saw their joking looks and whispered: "Hongyu works hard in the army. If she has some fine wine given by the emperor, it will surely make her smile."
He collected two jars and said, "Your Majesty, I should be in Yanyun on the day you ascend. Then my husband and I will be in the tent to bid you farewell with this wine."
Lin Lingsu also collected the two jars and said: "Fang La is right, this wine is indeed of great significance. Recently, I feel more and more that I am actually still young and dismembering the body is simply too stupid. Maybe I will meet you in the upper world in the future. When we meet again, let’s drink this wine together to celebrate.”
Fang La and Zhang Wanxian praised in unison: "This is exactly the reason."
Ruda opened his mouth.
If I had known earlier, it would have been right for me to have kept quiet and quietly picked up the wine and left.
What a pity, who would have thought that these serious people would also grab drinks from him today.
Could it be that the Sa family also has to think about whether they can fly over and share the jars of wine among them?
Guan Luoyang smiled with his hands behind his back.
These people all have important responsibilities, and when the day comes for him to ascend, he will indeed not be able to gather so many people together.
But having said that, he will ascend in forty-four days, but the time limit for this mission is still seventy-four days from completion.
I wonder what will happen after ascending?
