Chapter 173 They are not things
This is true...
Rights are always very subtle things.
Once the imperial power weakens and once the power is given away, it will be very difficult to take it back!
Because anyone, or in other words, any powerful person, will want to hold on to their rights with all their lives, as long as they have an opportunity, both public and private.
After all, this is related to one's lifelong political ambition, but also to the inheritance of the family, as well as the rise and fall of honor and disgrace.
So, who is not moved?
And how can the rights of other people compare to the imperial power?
Therefore, as long as the imperial power is released and part of it flows out, the remaining people will desperately want to catch it. After catching it, if they want to take it back, it depends on the person and their ability!
If you have the courage and strength to manipulate the ministers and take them back, it is not impossible.
However, if you don’t have time to take it back, you will be gone. Then if your successor does not have this ability, then such a part of the imperial power can never be taken back!
The two Han Dynasties are almost all like this!
First, the maternal relatives gained power. Of course, the maternal relatives also fell down one by one, but...
That was another relative who replaced the original one.
Later, when the emperor saw that his relatives were dominant, he thought of another way, which was to train the eunuchs around him and let them help him deal with the powerful relatives.
It was a failure at the beginning, but there were also successes later on!
The foreign relatives were indeed dealt with and relatively weakened.
but!
The eunuch group, having tasted the sweetness, began to hold on to this power!
Therefore, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the struggle for power between eunuchs and relatives became more and more intense. On the contrary, the capable ministers in the court could not protect themselves. They either sought refuge with one of the factions, or they had no choice but to stay away from the court and return to the local area.
A turbulent and chaotic court is what local ambitious people most want to see.
Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty ushered in its tragic fate.
Because of the struggle between the relatives of He and Dong, as well as the struggle between He Jin and the ten permanent ministers, the imperial court was completely in turmoil and gave the local separatist forces an opportunity to rise.
The old country was always lost because of its weakness, but the Han Dynasty was lost because of its strength. This sentence is not a compliment or praise, but a lament.
The Han Dynasty collapsed due to strength. The strength was not due to the imperial court, but to local forces. They were too strong and in turn destroyed the imperial court!
Other unified dynasties were either invaded by aliens, civil uprisings, or internal fights between relatives. Only the Eastern Han Dynasty suffered such a death.
"What sir said is indeed reasonable..."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slowly, "The imperial court and the imperial power cannot be taken advantage of by others!"
"Hey, that's what I mean..."
Zhao Long smiled and said, "However, this can be regarded as the disadvantage of pushing the favor order, and it is not the disadvantage of pushing the favor order. Anyway, there are many ways to destroy a dynasty. If you avoid this, there are still others over there! This one
, in fact, it is an irreversible situation of the feudal dynasty! It is a shortcoming of the system!"
"this……"
Is this an inevitable drawback of the feudal dynasty?
After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng and others felt heavy in their hearts.
Could it be that I, Da Qin, will also have such a fate?
but……
Ying Zheng thought about it and sighed at himself.
There is no need to think about it for hundreds of years. If it weren't for what Zhao Long said, the Qin Dynasty might have died in another generation.
It saves you the pain of thinking about it for hundreds of years...
"gentlemen……"
On the side, Fusu listened, but couldn't help but ask, "Sir, did you say this is a shortcoming of the dynasty? Is there no way to solve it?"
"Hey, Xiao Zhao, why are you so concerned about the feudal dynasty?"
Zhao Long listened and said with a smile, "We have eliminated feudalism long ago, so why study it?"
"Oh, just out of curiosity..."
After hearing this, Fusu immediately laughed.
"What's so curious about this?"
Zhao Long said with a smile, "Although there is a saying that all major events in the world must be divided after a long time, and there is also a saying that wealth cannot last more than three generations, but in the final analysis, this is actually a problem of productivity!"
What?
Productivity issues?
Ying Zheng immediately asked, "Isn't this a system problem? Mr. just said that it is a feudal system that cannot be escaped? Why, why has it become a problem of productivity again?"
"The system is the biggest limitation on the mode of production!"
Zhao Long laughed and said, "For example, let's take the European powers as an example. They actually took the lead in becoming hegemonic by changing their systems and production methods."
kindness?
What?
European powers?
After hearing what Zhao Long said, Ying Zheng was stunned and immediately asked, "What is this European power?"
"Oh, they're not things..."
Zhao Long listened and said calmly.
What?
Not a thing?
What is that?www.81zw.??m
Ying Zheng was stunned, "What is it if it's not something?"
"If it's not a thing, it's just not a thing..."
Zhao Long laughed and said, "Anyway, Man is not a thing. However, taking them as an example, they actually achieved leapfrog development and improved national strength by changing and improving productivity!
You want to say that we really want the ancient country to completely change its destiny. In fact, no matter what reform or reform, from the core, there is only one thing, that is, to liberate the productive forces and allow the entire country and all its citizens to create and utilize more
H.
For example, Shang Yang's reform was like this. It provided Qin with more food and soldiers. How could Qin not be strong? Therefore, whoever can liberate productivity and make society generate more wealth will definitely become bigger and bigger.
Be strong and move towards glory!
After that, there is the issue of interest distribution. If the interest distribution issue is solved and mutual relations are harmonious, then this country will become stronger."
"oh?"
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng was moved in his heart and immediately asked, "Is this what Mr. said, doing business?"
"Ha, you are smart, Lao Zhao!"
Zhao Long smiled and said, "It is the development of commerce and manufacturing!"
"Is that so?"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If the Qin Dynasty can implement this method, can it also change the fate of the country and achieve long-term peace and stability?"
"Idealistically speaking, this is true, although it is impossible for him to realize it..."
Zhao Long said with a smile, "But no one can go back to the past, and they won't know this across generations, right?"
"Ha ha!"
After hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng burst out laughing, "Hahahaha!"
"Well? Why are you so happy?"
