Wenyi touched his head and said: "Let's analyze the essence of the matter first. The throne has supreme power, which makes people fight for it with all their might.

What if we limit the imperial power?

Wouldn't it be better to limit imperial power within a certain range?

My idea is for your Li family to set up an elders' council, with highly respected people in the family serving as elders. The emperor will be elected by the elders, and each emperor will serve a term of 15 years. After the term expires, he will automatically become an elder of the elders.

Without the establishment of a crown prince, all the younger generation have the right to compete for the throne. The Presbyterian Council will determine three candidates for the throne through assessment of their political affairs, military affairs, law, etc. These three candidates must write a governing plan, and then

It is up to the current emperor to decide who will be his successor.

If a foolish emperor like Emperor Sui Yang appears, the Presbyterian Council has the right to directly replace the new emperor.

This will also avoid ruining the entire dynasty because of one emperor.

It's just easier said than done! First of all, the prince cannot be the emperor, and he will never do what we want. Secondly, it should be difficult for your father to give up his rights after he succeeds.

You are the eldest son, and you are still too young now. When you grow up and taste the sweetness of power, I wonder if you will still remember my plan." Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard that Wenyi wanted to limit the emperor's power for the first time, and he calmed down for a while.

Huicai said: "This disciple will definitely remember the master's teachings and help him complete this great plan.

Can unrest be avoided by simply limiting the imperial power?

What if an ambitious family wants to take over?"

Wenyi said: "Power in the world is nothing more than political power, financial power, and military power. As long as these three powers are firmly controlled in your hands, no one will be able to successfully rebel.

These three complement each other, but one person cannot master all three powers at the same time.

My ideal state is that the emperor has absolute political power, with most of the financial power and most of the military power responsible for managing the country and expanding the territory; the Presbyterian Council has legislative power and military power near Chang'an to limit the emperor's power and maintain the safety of the royal family; give up

Part of the financial power is given to the prime minister who has the same goals as the emperor. There is only one prime minister who is responsible for assisting the emperor to better manage the country.

This prime minister position was given to the interests of those noble families. Who could become prime minister depended on their own abilities, but the prime minister's term was also 15 years and was elected at the same time as the emperor.

In this way, those careerists will no longer worry about the throne, which has limited power."

Li Chengqian asked again: "But after they seize power, they can restore the system where imperial power is supreme."

Wenyi shook his head and said: "No family can compete with the world on its own. The current five surnames and Qi Wang can't do it, and neither can your Li family. After those nobles taste the sweetness of the new system, do you think they will help another

Did the dictator rebel?”

Li Chengqian's eyes widened and he said with joy, "Doesn't that mean that our Li family will achieve a truly permanent state of affairs?"

Wenyi laughed and said: "Nothing is absolute, just like Xia Wang Yu did not expect that the Xia Dynasty would be destroyed in the hands of Xia Jie, Shang Tang did not expect that the Shang Dynasty would be destroyed in the hands of Zhou, Yang Guang did not expect that Jiangshan would be defeated in the hands of his son, the times

We are making progress and people are changing. Who can say what will happen in the future? We can only do our best."

Li Chengqian was still happy and said: "Master, doesn't he always say that everything depends on man-made changes? Anyway, history has proven that the traditional replacement of imperial power will not last long, so let's try a new way out!"

Wenyi nodded: "Let me encourage you! Chengqian, you have really grown up."

After being praised, Li Chengqian turned back into a child and laughed silly.

The master and apprentice chatted some more before returning to the camp.

After arriving in Jinan, they gained nothing except seeing the poor people along the way, so the five masters and apprentices went to Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. In the Tang Dynasty, Shijiazhuang belonged to Hengshan County (later changed to Hengzhou, the county was Zhending, now Zhengding Town), Zhao County (the county is now Zhengding Town)

Zhipingji, today's Zhaozhou Town), Xindu County (the county governs today's Jizhou City), Gaoyang County (the county governs today's Dingzhou City) (it has little influence on this article, so Shijiazhuang is directly used as the place name) moved forward.

Hebei is a newly recovered area. In order to ensure the safety of his apprentices, Wenyi specially asked the special operations team to bring his own Xiaomi armor, and the number of special operations personnel was also increased from 10 to 30.

Xiao Ruoyu and Li Tai never took their eyes away after seeing the Xiaomi Armor.

I have been thinking about how to take this armor apart and study it all day long.

Wenyi scolded them several times, but it did not affect their concern for the Xiaomi Armor. Finally, Wenyi promised to allow them to dismantle the armor and study it when they arrived at the Black Pine Forest, and the two of them stopped looking at each other enthusiastically.

The situation in Hebei is not as good as that in Shandong. Almost all men in Hebei have died. Only women and children can be seen in every house. Elderly people are also rare. The literature and art probably also died in the war.

Although the people of Shandong are poor, their eyes are still full of yearning for life.

But most people in Hebei have a look of deathly silence in their eyes, as if they have despaired of the future.

The three little ghosts cried and asked Wen Yi to find a way to help the people. Wen Yi said helplessly: "It's difficult, we alone can't help them at all, we still have to rely on the power of the government.

It's just that we are weak and weak now, so we can't do anything to help even if we want to.

I brought you out just to show you that there are still a lot of messes in Datang that need to be cleaned up. This is a long-term problem. Whether you can let them live and work in peace and contentment depends on your ability."

Leaving the sad Hebei, the master and apprentice came to the black pine forest to the west of Jincheng, Shanxi! As soon as they arrived at the black pine forest, they saw a wide road leading straight into the depths of the black pine forest, as if cutting the black pine forest in half.

In front of the road is a small town. A huge stone tablet at the entrance of the town reads "Black Pine Forest Service Area".

There is a four-story cement building in front of the town, and a huge plaque reads "Black Pine Highway Management Co., Ltd."

The entire town is lined with shops, bustling with activity, and the sounds of various hawkings are endless. Compared with the lifeless Hebei, it is a completely different world.

The mood of the master and disciples also improved.

Wenyi walked into the company loudly and shouted at the top of his voice: "Call your manager out!"

There was silence in the hall. Everyone looked at Wenyi like a fool and thought: Here comes another idiot. Didn't you know that this company is covered by Shan Erye?

You dare to be so arrogant here that you will live and die! Just as everyone was secretly wondering in what manner this guy would be thrown out, a man in a straight suit walked down from the second floor. When he saw Wenyi, he immediately put on a dog-legged look and stepped forward, nodding and bowing.

: "It turns out to be Director Wen, please come in quickly."
