He always believes that centralization of power is necessary. However, if it relies on the hereditary system, it will be really finished... Therefore, if the hereditary system is to be abolished, it will be the real centralization of power!
Why?
Again, Liu Zheng has always believed that social resources should be in the hands of the elite, so that the entire society can develop. In the case of centralized power, leaders elected by most people can be responsible for leading the history of the entire society.
Responsible - they came to power after defeating political opponents one after another. Their vision and knowledge, and overall view of the situation, naturally will not be too low.
Do you really think...
Will such a leader be so narrow-minded that he only wants to make money after coming to power?
Do you really think that such a leader, who dominates a country, really thinks about what interests he will pursue for his family every day?
No.
This is still a pattern issue.
When they stand at the top, what they have to consider is the whole world and themselves, whether they can leave their name in history, and whether they can lead this country to be strong and prosperous, and look down upon the world.
That's why...
The successive emperors of the Longyan Dynasty would allow their princes to scheming, intrigues and strife among themselves.
Because they believe that only those who stand out in this kind of struggle are qualified to control this country! Only those who are qualified to sit on this throne!
However......
The hereditary system still limits these candidates to the royal family.
This is the case today.
There is a prince Xie Fang, a third prince Xie Ling, the old emperor, no one can look down on him.
so.
In this case.
In fact, there are two solutions. One is democracy - this is complete nonsense, and the historical process has not yet developed to this point. The other is the cabinet system.
The emperor enjoyed himself in peace and contentment.
Form a cabinet and let the talents of the cabinet govern the world.
Delegate power!
Isn’t this the case with the Wanli Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty?
Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty had not been in power since he was a child. All major military and political affairs were handed over to Zhang Juzheng, who presided over the decision. He implemented a series of reform measures, sustained social and economic development, and won successive foreign military victories. The court showed a resurgence, so it was called Wanli Zhongxing. Wanli
Although he did not go to court for many years, the society was prosperous. However, once he began to take charge of the government, he began to pay less attention to the court, engaged in major construction projects, and spent extravagantly. Starting from the 24th year of Wanli, he sent eunuchs to various places to serve as mine supervisors and tax supervisors.
The search was insatiable and provoked the people to resist.
certainly.
Liu Zheng would never dare to say such a thing.
Because he knows.
Xie Tianyao is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to delegate power.
Therefore, he could only smile slightly: "What Mr. Wen said is still from the old Huangli. The princes respected the emperor and were gifted with imperial power. This was already before the Zhou Dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu wanted to eliminate the kings of different surnames and enfeoffed the children of the same surname. Since then,
, the beginning of the family world. Many of the vassal kings of Longyan are all Xie clan. Therefore, instead of saying 'rewards', it is better to say that they are stewards for the Holy One! Since they are stewards, why not be afraid of not accepting them?"
"this......"
Wenhan's face changed slightly.
Others also looked at each other in confusion.
Xie Tianyao even laughed loudly: "Liu Zhizhou, you are really good at every word. In my opinion, there is no one more transparent than you in the world! Trustee, trustee, what a great trustee! Have another drink!"
Wen Han, an old senior, was still a little dissatisfied after being refuted by Liu Zheng many times, so he asked Liu Zheng: "How does Liu Zhizhou think it should be dealt with?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Tianyao's face looked a little ugly.
Others were even more silent.
Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen...you really don't know how to open the pot. Who doesn't know that it is difficult for the vassal kings to withdraw and the territory is difficult to recover? It is because the court is too dependent on these vassal kings and its finances are tight.
The military strength is stretched thin... But how can you ask this? Are you deliberately bringing shame on His Majesty's face?
but.
Including Xie Tianyao, these people still looked at Liu Zheng, wondering how he would answer this heartbreaking question.
Who would have thought that Liu Zheng was also willing to go all out. After two glasses of Bai Yujing, he still had some staying power! He burped and his eyes shone: "Exchange of territory!"
boom!
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Wen Han was also so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
