Chapter 4260 The Five Elements Alternate Good and Bad Omens
Wang Miaoyin frowned: "A national-level intelligence department? Is it just a spy who only takes orders from the king's eyes and ears?
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Don't put it so harshly, is your Xie family's intelligence organization, such as your Blood Shadow Secret Guard, the eyes and ears, the secret agents?
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "I have never seen them like this. In our view, they are our family members. Many of them are from several generations. They have been serving our Xie family for nearly a hundred years. We even bought some fields for them.
We have arranged marriages for them, so that they can leave our Xie family and become homesteaders. There are even village officials who are unwilling to leave and prefer to continue to be our Xie family's secret guards.
Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. Why are these spies like your family to the Xie family, but to Qian Guoguo, they are the king's spies and lackeys?"
"This question made Di Wang Miaoyin frown slightly: I heard someone mention it once. I have been thinking about it just now. My first reaction was that maybe it was because the Xie family treated these spies well and took care of them like family members, and the king
As for these eagles, dogs, ears, and minions, we should leave them alone after using them. Moreover, these people often make false accusations, frame up loyal and good people, and behave like villains and cruel officials, which is despised by others.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Who is Zhongliang? Are they the children of high-ranking families who hold important positions and have hereditary power? Or are they the villains and cruel officials who work for the emperor and punish these people? Those who go to collect evidence
Are the spies all hawks and minions?
Wang Miaoyin also laughed: "In the final analysis, the same spies do the same thing, spy on intelligence and collect evidence. It's just that one is working for the aristocratic family and the other is loyal to the emperor. You don't like the aristocratic family and like to have power in your hands."
The emperor, or you also want to be the emperor now, so you feel that the aristocratic family should not maintain such an intelligence organization, but should be maintained by the emperor, right?
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, please listen to me clearly. I said it belongs to the country, not to the emperor. Miaoyin, you should be able to understand what I mean, and clearly distinguish the difference between the country and a lonely person.
Wang Miaoyin nodded thoughtfully and said: "What you mean is that this country will not belong to a certain emperor in the future, or that it will not be passed down to the emperor's descendants from generation to generation, so families should no longer have to worry about being killed by the emperor for no reason.
, so intelligence organizations and private military units should not be retained, which means that there is no need to retain one's own resistance force?
Liu Yu said seriously: "I also understand what you mean. In the past, everyone was in danger and worried about the emperor's power. He was afraid that the tyrant would be in power and would not be able to restrain it. He would introduce laws that would bring disaster to the world. So you think that power should be restrained and there should be some black hands.
Organizations of aristocratic families like Qiankun secretly formed alliances, even staged coups, and raised troops to resist the tyrant's rule.
Even if there is no black hand, the high-ranking family members should still maintain their own intelligence organization to ensure that they have faster and better sources of information than the emperor and can respond one step ahead of the emperor.
Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "This is the way for a noble family to survive. You must know that the high sect of our noble family cannot rely on troops to respect itself. If the emperor is even slower in intelligence and response speed, then he will destroy us and send more than a thousand palaces."
Wei is enough. All our families put together are not enough to kill him. Liu Yu nodded: "I can understand and agree with what you said that power needs to be restricted and cannot be arbitrarily imposed by one person. Therefore, I have always said
The idea is that the emperor is not the country, and he cannot represent the country alone. Whether it is the country or the court, the world is the world for everyone. The purpose of its existence is not for the selfish desires of one person or a small group of people.
, has become a tool they use to rule and exploit the people of the world. The existence of the country should be for the benefit of all people, for every ordinary person.
"This should be the case logically. The people are the king," Miaoyin said with a smile: "The king of the country is the most important, and the king of the state is the light. This is something Mencius recognized. It's a pity that there are no people in the world who really agree with this and realize this sentence."
How many have there been through the ages?
At this point, she paused: "Brother Yu, I believe you are someone who truly agrees with this sentence and wants to realize it, but I must remind you that almost no one in the world agrees with your idea.
If you want to rely on the power in your hands to force it to happen, it will be too difficult.
Liu Yu said calmly: "
Because everyone is selfish, it is their nature to want to sacrifice the interests of others to satisfy themselves for their own selfishness. Therefore, the Taoist idea is to be alone. If you can survive alone without trouble or disturbing others, you are already
It’s considered spiritual practice.
Wang Miaoyin said seriously: "It's a pity that this ideal only exists in the legends of cultivating immortals. Even promising cultivators cannot live without eating whole grains. If they want to survive, they have to work and farm."
And all things are born, and then there are kings and leaders, because a single person cannot survive. The legends of ancient saints and kings in ancient times are beautiful. A virtuous king can even sing and play the piano to make birds and beasts dance. But as long as
Any adult with some intelligence knows that a black beast will not dance for a virtuous person, but will only eat him.
Liu Yu laughed: "Miaoyin, you know these things very well. In fact, we all know that this is just made up to promote the ancient sages and kings and give people a good yearning. What does Buddhism talk about reincarnation after death?
Hell and heaven, and our Confucians have been the world of Yao and Shun, the ancient wise kings since ancient times. In fact, these all include dissatisfaction with reality. Either there was an ideal world in ancient times, or there should be a paradise after death.
Wang Miaoyin nodded and said: "In fact, behind these propaganda, it is also a warning to the king, asking him not to act recklessly, otherwise God can give birth to the ancient sage king and let him be the emperor to shepherd the people, or he can be angry at any time.
His evil deeds caused the reincarnation of the Five Elements, the transfer of destiny, and the replacement of him by someone else. Once some of his policies and laws are contrary to the laws of heaven, heaven will sense that disasters and strange things are happening in various places to warn him.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "On the other hand, if a new king is established, various auspicious omens will appear, indicating that a change of dynasty is needed, right?
Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "Yes, so this time, in addition to worrying about various rumors, you also have to be especially wary of such good omens and predictions of destiny. People with ulterior motives will use this method to confuse people's hearts and make them
People feel that the spirit of the Great Jin Dynasty is exhausted, and a new dynasty is born!
