The ancients valued the divine right of kings and orthodoxy.
Boss Zhou's sitting on the throne is not in line with orthodoxy, but it is in line with the divine right of kings.
Unorthodox, because his surname is not Kang and he is not the designated heir of the Dakang Dynasty.
It is in line with the principle of divine right of kings because it is another form of "the virtuous people live here".
The Hunjun of the previous dynasty was slaughtered, his entire family was slaughtered, and the eldest prince was also slaughtered.
Boss Zhou who was slaughtered by this group of people, let’s just say it’s fierce or not.
Fierce, quite fierce.
Then why is it so violent? Is it because he took Viagra?
No, it's because "Heaven" thinks he should be fierce. It's because God thinks this guy is both tiger and fierce. God didn't identify him. Can he sit on the dragon's throne?
In fact, "divine right of kings" and "legitimacy" are the "reasons" for the emperor or those who want to be the emperor.
I want to be the emperor, and if I succeed, it means that I am the chosen one designated by God. If God does not agree, can I become the emperor?
This is an "excuse" for people who want to rebel.
Then once you become the emperor, you can add "orthodoxy" to the divine right of kings. Don't rebel, because you are unorthodox. My son, the person I designate, is orthodox.
However, those who want to rebel can still use the "divine right of kings" as a reason to rebel. Why don't the people live in poverty? You are a gentleman, I will be your grandmother, God allows me to overthrow you and replace you.
This is also the awesome thing about Confucianism. When you kneel down, whoever is stronger will be right. When you knock your lips, whoever is stronger will be the elder brother. When you ascend the throne, you support Confucianism. I will treat you as my father. I am not afraid of rebellion. I don’t care if you succeed. You call me Dad, the main thing is cosplay seaweed, swaying casually in the wind anytime, anywhere.
I can be loyal to the current emperor, because you are orthodox, but if someone succeeds in his rebellion, I can also be loyal to him, because the king's power is divinely granted. Alas, there is no trick, that's how trouble comes.
It can be seen from this that it is just a matter of criticizing and saying casually, the winner is king.
So in a sense, Boss Zhou is not "orthodox".
Now, let alone the officials and aristocratic families in the various states, there are also many people in Beijing who feel that Boss Zhou's position is unfair. They are just afraid of death and dare not speak out when they are angry. Besides, who should be the emperor or not? Anyway, don't delay We just get by.
Ma Rulong pointed out this problem without hesitation. The Ma family could not be said to be terrible. They were nothing more than tens of thousands of private soldiers. If they continued to threaten the common people, even if there was chaos, it would only be in a certain state or a certain way, which could not threaten Boss Zhou. 's rule.
But the emperor was afraid that the Ma family was the spark that would directly catch Yuan Liao.
After Boss Zhou came to the throne, he quickly controlled the capital, but he did not control all the Taoists quickly. By the time the Taoists received the letter, Zhou Ke had already sat on the throne. In addition, generals from many places supported him, and various Taoist families I can only hold my nose and endure it.
If you want to sit firmly on the dragon's chair, sit on the dragon's chair, become bigger and stronger and create greater glory, it requires a process. In this process, there are many uncertain factors. Boss Zhou must moisten things and quietly remove all unstable factors. , it will take at least several years.
This is the real reason why Boss Zhou is unwilling to go to war against the Ma family. Either he doesn't move, or he solves it quickly and painlessly. Has it started? It's over.
"Actually, it's really not necessary." Han You shook his head: "Your Majesty can give your Ma family the status of a prince. Even if you don't take power and have no soldiers, at least you will have no worries for several generations. Why bother."
"Zhou Ke."
Ma Rulong, who called the Emperor by his first name, said calmly: "Kill the 216 members of my Ma family, including the old, weak, women and children."
Han You took a breath, this was the first time he heard about this.
After thinking about it, Han You lowered his head and said without conscience: "Could it be...a misunderstanding?"
Ma Rulong: "..."
Brother Xiao Ma really wants to curse, misunderstanding, misunderstanding has killed more than 200 of my relatives. If it were not a misunderstanding, all the egg yolks in my Ma family would have been shaken away.
"There's something I want to ask. I'm very curious. The emperor has concerns, and so do you. Why are you so stubborn that you dare to call yourself Ma Rulong?"
"For the sake of disgusting the emperor."
Han You gave a thumbs up, impeccable, this guy is real.
"Okay, I've told you nothing false, now it's my turn to ask you."
"Wait a moment."
Han You shouted towards the stairs: "Waiter, please bring more wine."
Ma Rulong chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that you are also a greedy person."
"Didn't I just agree that if I talk in circles, I will punish myself with three cups. Three cups are not enough. I estimate that I will need thirty or three hundred cups."
Ma Rulong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he hit the table.
The waiter came over with a wine jar and carefully opened the mud seal.
Ma Rulong stopped laughing: "Then tell me, before my eldest brother entered the palace, the emperor must have reprimanded you for the five hundred thousand yuan, but he had a complaint in his heart?"
Han You didn't say anything. He slowly poured three glasses of wine and drank them all in three gulps.
Ma Rulong smiled again: "Since you drank, it means you don't want to talk, and if you don't want to talk, it means you are resentful."
"Your Majesty needs those 500,000 yuan to provide relief to the victims, distribute rice and food to the refugees, and supplement the food and salary for the army. Do you think I will resent such an emperor?"
"Do you admire the emperor?"
"Yes, much admired."
"But the refugees should be taken care of by the court, the victims of the disaster should be rescued by the government, and the men on the battlefield fighting for the country should not be owed food and wages. These are the affairs of the court and the emperor, aren't they?"
"That's because the previous emperor didn't understand. You should know better than me how it has anything to do with the current His Majesty."
"Do you think it will be different when Zhou Ke becomes emperor?"
Han You narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Do you think that the previous emperor was cruel and unkind when he first came to the throne, tyrannizing and amassing wealth, causing anger and resentment?"
Ma Rulong shook his head: "Looking at the emperors of the Han Dynasty, who didn't want to be a wise king and a benevolent king when he first came to the throne? He wanted to create a prosperous age, but after sitting on the throne for a long time, he thought he was the one who dominated the world. The Supreme One feels that he is like a god in the sky, and everyone else is an ordinary person. If any ordinary person does not comply with his wishes, he can kill them all, kill them all, and take everything from them, right?"
"Don't treat me like a stupid young man who has never seen the market."
Han You curled his lips: "You just tried to sow discord with me last time. It's meaningless. I can only say that you are ignorant. There are many kind-hearted emperors, but you have never heard of them. "
"Charity and kindness?" Ma Rulong sneered: "Everyone has selfish motives. The emperor is like this, I am like this, and you are even more like this. As for the tax money, as far as I know, when you checked the tax, you secretly asked for it from several wealthy businessmen. I got one more season’s tax money, and you withheld this tax money, right?”
"Idiot, I sent you to the palace."
"At least 200,000 yuan, all sent to the palace?"
Han You shrugged: "Brother Kun shaved his bald head, leaving no feathers left."
"what for?"
"There's just not a bit left."
"But I do my best to be loyal to you."
Ma Rulong teased and raised the wine glass again.
He believed this.
Han You was wary. What kind of power did the Ma family have in Beijing? Could he find out if he secretly sent money to the emperor?
