Chapter 342 Its human nature, but it doesnt go with the system
After the meeting, the senior leaders of the Tengjia Army were assigned tasks for the next year, and then dispersed to carry out their own tasks!
"Husband, don't you want to be emperor?" A few days after the meeting, Zhang Ning came to Handan and found Xu Wei and asked!
Xu Wei did not answer the question, but smiled and said: "Didn't you go to Boling's hometown? Xiang Yu said that wealth and honor will not return to the hometown like a journey at night in brocade clothes. You have only stayed for a few days and you are back so soon?"
The Zhang family also came from a powerful family. Although Zhang Niujiao was killed by the Han army because of his rebellion, he still had many relatives and friends! But everyone did not dare to recognize the Zhang family as a relative, and they couldn't avoid Zhang Ning, so she
That’s why Zhang Yan took refuge in the Taihang Mountains!
Now that the Tengjia Army has occupied Jizhou, even ordinary people can see that the big man cannot defeat Lei Gong. They even heard that Lei Gong will ascend the throne in Jizhou and proclaim himself emperor, so Zhang Ning will become the queen!
Fu Zai has distant relatives in the mountain village. Zhang Ning's hometown could not believe it when they met this time. There were actually thousands of relatives and friends in their Zhang family!
Under the flattery and flattery of these people, Zhang Ning lived a comfortable life for a few days!
Fortunately, Zhang Ning saw how they couldn't avoid her, and knew that her relatives praised her in this way because she was the wife of Lei Gong, so she did not lose herself in the praise of these relatives and friends.
Because she knows that these relatives are praising her because they want to benefit from her!
The reality is also like this. After a few days of praising Zhang Ning, some relatives came to her for help. Some wanted to get rich, some wanted to be officials, and some wanted land! In short, Zhang Ning's relatives all regarded him as a jingle cat.
I think Zhang Ning can respond to requests!
But Zhang Ning did not dare to agree randomly. For relatives in need, she would find ways to provide financial assistance. For relatives who wanted land, Zhang Ning asked them to go to Liaodong. Now that Liaodong has implemented the new policy, each household can be allocated hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mu, a family with a large population can obtain hundreds of acres of land in one branch. If she wants to be an official, she will be sent directly to the school in Mayi. If you have the ability, you can become an official as long as you study well, but there are other excesses
She did not agree to any request, or even anything that violated the laws of the Tengjia Army.
Zhang Ning's attitude disappointed their relatives. Although he helped them, it was far from the treatment they imagined that one of them would receive a chicken or a dog and ascend to heaven. Lu Pheasant and Yin Lihua's natal family were all granted the title of marquis and minister.
, there are even those who claim to be kings.
When they became relatives, how come they couldn't even be a small landowner, let alone become a marquis or prime minister! They were also the queen's natal family, and the treatment gap was too big, so Zhang Ning's relatives secretly
They complained to Zhang Ning that what they got was too little, which was not in line with Zhang Ning’s status, so at least they gave a few marquis titles to their nephews!
The reason why she came back so soon was also because of these relatives!
Old man Wang wrote to her, saying that Xu Wei seemed to have no intention of becoming emperor. Although he established the Kingdom of China this time, Xu Wei not only did not proclaim himself emperor, he did not even proclaim himself king.
He wanted to get Dahao to restrict his rights! Xu Wei's actions made the top management of the Tengjia Army confused. So Old Man Wang asked Zhang Ning to return to Handan, hoping that she would ask Xu Wei what he was thinking!
Zhang Ning also wanted to avoid these relatives and came back. This trip to his hometown in Jinyi Night Walk was not a good experience for Zhang Ning.
So when Zhang Ning heard Xu Wei's words, he said angrily: "You are making fun of me for being a monkey. What kind of monkey am I?"
Xu Wei did not expect that Zhang Ning would think of this allusion and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to mock you. When Liu Bang became emperor, he didn't go there. He went to his hometown in Peixian County to show off and made a big wind song. All this.
It’s human nature!”
But Zhang Ning sighed and said: "I was just happy for a few days, but it didn't mean anything after that. Everyone wanted to ask me for money, officials, and land. The country of Hua had just been established, and they considered themselves relatives.
, everyone thinks that they have their share in the world of China! Back then, none of them even dared to take me in, but now how could they be so shameless and even think of themselves as relatives!"
When Xu Wei heard this, he sighed and said: "This is also human nature. Not all the generals of the Later Han Dynasty were brothers of the queen. Even if the former Han Dynasty was based on military merit, the queen's family would still ascend to heaven and be granted the title of marquis and minister!"
"
"It's a pity that we can't do this. Official position is not only a right, but also a responsibility. Giving the official position to someone without ability will harm the people of the place. Emperor Ling only looked at money and not ability, so he handed over the official position in Jizhou
Thanks to a group of corrupt officials, the whole world was in chaos, and Jizhou was in turmoil for more than 10 years. Then they spent a lot of money to quell the war. As a result, the war became bigger and bigger, and it got out of hand. Now even the country of the Han Dynasty has been destroyed.
He paid it off.
The noble families in the world also only look at their abilities and relationships. They also confuse right and wrong, tout the abilities of their own children, and suppress those who are truly capable. Their lawlessness has caused refugees to spread all over the world, and the great men are in turmoil!"
"If we also follow the example of the Han Dynasty and promote your relatives and friends to high-ranking officials, and then promote Zhang Baiqi and their relatives, in a few decades, the powerful clans we just wiped out like chickens and dogs will be around again.
The country of China is resurrected! In less than 200 years, there will be another great virtuous teacher in the world, leading the people to rebel! But if such a thing really happens, then all we can do is drive away the old clans and establish new ones.
If the medicine is changed and the world remains the same, then all the achievements we have achieved through the rebellion will be meaningless! The blood of millions of people who have died innocently and tragically in recent years will have been shed in vain!"
Zhang Ning said: "So you don't want to be the emperor?"
Xu Wei said sincerely: "Personally speaking, becoming an emperor is certainly a good thing. You can have three palaces and six courtyards, and your power is not restricted. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a god on earth! But it is not a good thing for the country.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and imperial power is not easy to control. In the early Han Dynasty, half of the monarchs were considered capable monarchs, but in the later Han Dynasty, only a few could be called wise monarchs."
"Although the emperor looks divine and claims to be in charge of the heaven, he is in charge of the world on behalf of God, but in fact the emperor is also an ordinary person, he only holds power, but no matter who his descendants are, most of them are ordinary, and there are only a few elites.
The emperor has a high position of power. It can be said that ordinary people cannot control this power well, and may even cause disaster to the country and the people like Emperor Ling!
The power of the emperor of the Han Dynasty was usurped by powerful ministers and eunuchs, and now the dry land is even more of a puppet, being made a clay Buddha on the stage by powerful ministers."
"If I become emperor, not all of my descendants will be elites, but ordinary people will definitely suffer the backlash from the imperial power. There will definitely be puppets of a faint emperor, who will even help the people of the world to take the blame for the incident. Although Emperor Ling is a foolish emperor, he has caused refugees and turmoil all over the world.
The main reason for uneasiness is the annexation of land by the powerful noble families in the world."
"Now the world's noble families have thrown the blame for the turmoil on the Liu family, and the resentment and anger of the people in the world have also been thrown on the Liu family. The emperor has become the one who takes the blame for the world's noble families. This is the consequence of the incompatibility of virtue. If
Without the appearance of our Tengjia Army, the noble families in the world would definitely change their families and continue to be their masters!"
"After I ascend the throne and become emperor, our descendants will definitely become such a scapegoat. This cannot be changed without relying on human will! So I want to change the current system and let capable people take charge of the world!"
The elites were selected from tens of millions of people, and after decades of hard work at the grassroots level, such political elites cannot be compared to the emperor who was born to hold power!"
Zhang Ning said in surprise: "So you want to learn the ancient abdication system?"
Xu Wei nodded and said: "I have this idea, but I don't know if this system can adapt to the current environment!"
Zhang Ning said angrily: "You gave in and became the Holy King! What about our son? This is the world you conquered, why should you leave it to others?"
