Chapter 5413: Historical mission trumps human nature
Liu Yu lowered his head and was speechless for a long time. This was the biggest problem that had always troubled him, and it had almost made him give up his grand ideals countless times, just because fighting against the selfishness and greed at the deepest level of human nature seemed to be too much.
There was no hope, but every time he was about to give up, he would always think of the great man in later generations who sacrificed almost his entire family to make a revolution for the sake of the revolution.
The most important thing is that the Chinese people have become the masters, but when he was in power, he did not seek any personal gain for his relatives. This is really a noble person, a pure person, and a person who has escaped from vulgar tastes.
And after thousands of years, I came to this era. Isn't it God's will that the heaven on earth established by the great man can appear more than a thousand years in advance?
Even if this wish cannot be realized in this life, at least I can use my own efforts to change the direction of history, even if it means sowing the seeds of equality in people's hearts so that everyone will no longer be a slave and be bullied for the rest of his life.
My destiny is determined by my free will, which is beyond the control of God. Isn’t that the meaning of coming to this era?
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's heart suddenly lit up with fire. He raised his head, looked at He Lanmin, and said: "Since the sages in ancient times used the abdication system to promote talents and talents, this system allowed the ancients to
The ancient sages of the past kings to this day
It is also praised, which shows that this system has merit. Why in ancient times, these ancestors who were willing to give up power to the tribesmen instead of their own descendants were not like birds and beasts, who only thought about themselves.
Where are your children?”
He Lanmin curled up her lips and said: "I think it's probably because the tribes in ancient times were all matrilineal tribes. The women in the tribe kept mating with all the tribesmen and gave birth to children. The children only knew their mothers but not their fathers.
There is only a patriarchal society like today with families. Once you have a family, you will know who your parents are. And only when a man knows who his son is, will he instinctively want to pass on the power and wealth in his hands to his descendants.
Liu Yu, you see, after entering the patriarchal society, blood inheritance and filial piety came into being. The ancient tribes gradually decomposed into small families, and only in the small families were clear husband and wife
, relationships such as father and son, grandparents and grandchildren, brothers and sisters, it is this kind of blood relationship that allows power, wealth and honor to be passed down along the blood line, instead of treating all tribesmen as one's own as before, and ignoring the true
descendants."
Liu Yu nodded: "What you said makes sense, but Mrs. Helan, you have overlooked one point, that is, this power is the public power of the entire tribe and all clan members, not the private rights of the small family as you mentioned. The so-called innate power
All things have kings and leaders. It is because of faith that everyone
The most capable and capable ruler is appointed. This ability is mainly military and survival ability. Finally, he is the most capable military leader. He becomes the ruler and enjoys the trust of his tribe. He is given the command of the entire tribe.
The clan members have the power of life and death."
"But this power is to benefit the entire tribe. In the dangerous environment of ancient times, it can defeat all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, defeat other hostile tribes, and allow the tribesmen to survive. This ruler may be very capable, but
There is no guarantee that his descendants will have the same ability, so such a department
When you lose power, you should give it to a more talented person, rather than letting the ruler play favoritism and pass it only to his son. As I said before, if this son, or the descendants of several generations, do not have this ability,
But if you want to occupy power, you will either be destroyed by foreign enemies or overthrown by your own people."
He Lanmin smiled and said: "You Han people call this public weapon for private use. This term has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period. Well, I admit that this public power should not be passed on to descendants casually, but human nature is like this, and there is no reason to explain it.
, loves his child like a bird and a beast, and always wants to give him the best. Only power is the best thing in the world. Liu Yu, don’t think of everyone in the world as a saint like you. They don’t
So noble, most people will not be grateful to you because of your decentralization, but once you do not let them take back the property and power in their hands, even the land and houses of ordinary people, and distribute it to others,
Then do you believe that these equal people you want to protect will fight you to the death?"
Liu Yu sighed: "So, we need to greatly strengthen education in this area, let people know the books and respond to the etiquette, and let all the people in the world understand that the country belongs to everyone in the world. While enjoying the benefits brought by the country, they must also do their best.
The corresponding obligation is. This road may be difficult, and even before I die, I will not be able to see the realization of my ideals. However, as long as the rich and poor are equally divided, the idea of equalizing the rich and the poor is being accepted by more and more people in the world.
If you accept it, then I believe that one day, the abdication system, instead of the current family-world system passed down from father to son, will once again become the consensus of the world."
He Lanmin nodded: "I understand what you mean. You want to first establish yourself as a king, or become a sage, god of war or other role that is regarded as a god, and then forcibly expose your set of ideas to the world.
Everyone hears and accepts it. Then, if everything goes well, during your lifetime, you will take the initiative to give up the position of emperor to other virtuous people, so that these ideals can be turned into rules, right?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "At least, I want to give it a try first. The world is still undecided, and the Jin Dynasty is still the world of the Sima family. I can't rashly stand on my own at this time. At least I have to wait until the south is unified and the time is right.
The Sima family took the initiative to abdicate, which requires a long process. It also requires me to make great achievements during the Northern Expedition and have unparalleled achievements to achieve this great cause. Moreover, I have not fully thought about how to deal with the relationship with the noble family. Mrs. Helan,
I want you to establish the Fengming Society and an intelligence organization that does not rely on the loyal servants of noble families. You should understand my thoughts now."
He Lanmin gently raised her hand to stroke her hair and said: "I understand, since you want to follow the path of the emperor, information is the most important thing. In fact, you don't dare to completely trust Liu Muzhi and Wang
Miaoyin, because they are nobles after all and come from aristocratic families, they may become your biggest obstacle in the end, just like your former good brother Liu Yi has become your most troublesome opponent now. This time you come to Shixing secretly, no
Even Meng Huaiyu, Liu Fan and the others are not at ease." ()
