Liu Yu put away his smile and said seriously: "Miaoyin, there is no need to say more about these future things. Now, although Doupeng is dead, it is still hard to say whether the Tiandao Alliance still exists, and the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao are still there.
It has not been eradicated, and the undercurrents in the noble families are still surging. Even among my brothers in Beifu, it is hard to say how many people accept these concepts. Our task is still very arduous."
Having said this, Liu Yu looked at Sima Dezong and frowned: "Before we popularize the concept of equality for everyone, we still need to keep this puppet emperor. However, Sima Dewen has his own ambitions.
, Even if he smuggled Sima Dezong out this time, he may have something to do with the Tiandao Alliance. After we defeat the demon thieves, you still have to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "If we investigate now, it may cause a backlash in people's hearts. Everyone knows that Sima Dezong is a walking zombie. Sima Dewen takes care of everything about him. If you touch Sima Dewen, others will
I thought you were going to attack the emperor of the Sima clan and want to replace him yourself. Now, I am not ready to let you ascend the throne directly, unless..."
At this point, Wang Miaoyin curled up her lips: "Unless like what I just said, get rid of them now, then put the blame on Tiandao League and Doupeng, and then torture Princess Jinyang and force her to
Recognize that Sima Dewen is also a member of the Tiandao Alliance. In this way, the emperor's line of succession will be cut off, and you will be able to legitimately replace him and ascend to the throne of God."
Liu Yu sighed: "The cloak is Xie Xuan's business, how do you announce it to the world? This will implicate the Xie family, and your family will be destroyed together."
A trace of panic and pain flashed across Wang Miaoyin's face, she closed her eyes and murmured: "This is the cause of your husband's race, and it will always bear fruit. Although it can be said that Xie Xuan's personal actions, he has already
If you leave the Xie family, regardless of family affairs, the Xie family will always be affected and implicated, and lose the right to be the leader of the family. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for you, if your goal is to attack the entire family, so that they can no longer
Hereditary power, so now the Xie family’s emergence is what must be done.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's not possible now. To implement my ideals, many things require the full support and cooperation of the Xie family. What they want now is to further strengthen and consolidate the Xie family's influence by helping me ascend to the throne of God."
Status, even sons and nephews can become the heroes of creating a new dynasty, so they will work very hard to cooperate with me. At this time, I also need the support of noble families and aristocratic families. At least, the initial popularization of education is inseparable from the current educated people.
For scholars."
Wang Miaoyin frowned slightly: "However, the education that scholars have received since childhood is all about the Four Books and Five Classics, which are all about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Although they know that the divine right of kings may be deceptive, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of their lives.
The hierarchy is engraved in their bones as the source of their sense of superiority, and they will never accept your concept of everyone being equal and serving the people."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Actually, in the world we live in now, the concept of equality for everyone has not been mentioned by anyone. Didn't Mencius say that the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important.
Is it light? This is actually similar to the view of serving the people in our later generations. Isn’t Mencius not the second sage?”
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Mencius's words have always been verbally acknowledged by the world's scholars, but in practice, the king is still ordered by heaven. Especially the Han Confucian Dong Zhongshu cooperated with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to depose hundreds of schools and become the sole ruler.
Respect Confucianism in exchange for Confucian disciples recognizing that the king is appointed by heaven and has absolute authority."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can strengthen the monarch's power, and I can also weaken the monarch's power. It just depends on the ruler, or what the emperor himself thinks. If he personally only wants to rule the world forever for generations to come, his descendants will rule the world forever.
All the people in the world would be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who used Confucian theory to strengthen or even deify the king's dominance. Since I am determined to serve the people and make the world look like the world before I traveled, I
It will do the opposite. Once everyone in the world accepts my idea, or we can first rely on the ancients to respect Meng and promote his people-oriented theory, then everything will be solved."
Having said this, Liu Yu looked at Wang Miaoyin and smiled slightly: "As for the scholars you mentioned, the aristocratic families need to help the emperor maintain such lies for their own status. I don't think it can't be solved. No matter how much I help,
Maintenance, he is also a minister, and he still has to be controlled by others. If the emperor gives an order, it will be a disaster to confiscate the family and destroy the family. The establishment of the original mafia was not because of the punishment method given to Cao Cao, who was frightened by the random slaughter of nobles.
That’s why we secretly formed an underground organization to compete with them.”
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "This is indeed a good point. If there is an emperor who can uproot his family at any time, just because of his personal preferences, on charges of rebellion or disrespect, it will make people unable to sleep peacefully. Power
If you can only monopolize, everyone will be afraid and fearful if there is a person like the emperor who can take life and death. If it becomes like your world, the rulers cannot take away the lives of civilians at will. Being an official is just a profession and job, not
If you are superior to others, these contradictions will naturally disappear."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "So when scholars and aristocratic families have the opportunity to sit in the position of ruler, do they still need to work hard to protect the emperor? They still need to have something above their heads that makes them unable to sleep.
Do stable singletons exist?"
Wang Miaoyin suddenly realized: "Yes, I understand what you mean. You seemed to have mentioned just now that the idea of everyone being equal among the Western barbarian powers seemed to have been proposed by their scholars."
Liu Yu nodded: "Actually, Christian teachings include the idea that all living beings are equal. Although it admits that there is a God, it does not have the idea that the emperor is alive and represents the herdsmen. Even the pope is just a living person.
Preaching sermons and letting everyone believe in God does not represent God's rule in the world. In order to resist the oppression of the church, the scholars of the Western Powers rebelled against the generals and took advantage of the doctrine that everyone is equal to open up
The Renaissance and ideological enlightenment broke the whole hierarchical theory of monarchs and ministers."
"I actually want to use Mencius' people-oriented ideological theory to carry out this kind of ideological reform. First, through popularization of education, everyone can read and read, and slowly they will realize that emperors are just mortals.
, as long as we do this, and when the time comes, and I, the emperor, personally admit that I am not the emperor, but just a human being, this power does not need to be passed on to my son, but to the worthy, then the emperor system will come to an end.
It’s time.”
