Three kings took over, Meng Tu became Bai Kui, Yu Zai became the Son of Heaven, and Chong Hua became the Emperor of Heaven.
When the new king of the Xia Dynasty was born, there were no thunderous cheers and applause, because the music had not ended yet. In this ancient song, power was handed over in the witness of the people, not in a small dark building.
in the house.
At this point, many people also understood why the handover ceremony of the king was not held in Yi Palace.
From the emperor to the emperor, from the emperor to the king, they should be under the sun. This is a matter witnessed by heaven, earth, humans and gods. Unless there is a ghost in your heart, you will avoid everyone and conduct handovers and activities privately.
This is a great thing, not a shameful thing.
Of course, the disadvantages of the Three Kings System also exist. The mutual penetration between the three powers will become more frequent as the years go by. It can be imagined that a hundred years later, when the three kings discuss matters and make decisions,
, there will also be wrangling behavior.
There may even be a king who uses various means to gain a lot of support and thereby ousts the other two kings.
Or maybe the two other kings agreed to divide the world into two parts and expelled the third king who was used as a restriction.
But at least for now, this is a very efficient way to curb the rise of Jia Tianxia, and it also achieves centralization.
There are no eternal systems, only systems that are constantly changing. In short, systems are actually an extension of the times and a reflected phenomenon. They can represent part of the situation of that era.
And it is foreseeable that the Three Kings System will continue to change in the future. Just take a look at the wooden board. Below the separation of powers, there is also a covered wooden sign.
What kind of new system will it be? No one knows. Only when the time comes for change, will these wooden cards be turned over.
After Qing Yun's music was played, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Meng Tu was about to preach the oath, but he was not very prepared. After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth and actually recited "Datong"
world" remarks.
This remark was first put forward by Yu Zai, in order to refute the theory of superiority and inferiority of great causes. Later, it gradually spread in Hongzhou. However, because it is too long, it is only included in Chinese textbooks, and not many people may be able to recite it.
.
"The path of the great road is also to ensure that the world is for the common good! Choose the wise and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony, so that the old people will not only kiss their relatives, nor will they only have their children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, and the young will be successful."
It was like Meng Tu was performing the most pious oath ceremony. After he finished reciting the Datong Essay, he said that he would continue to work hard towards this goal and would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it.
Then everyone was convinced and said, "King, king, king!"
And there is nothing dirty about this transition of royal power. He speaks with merit, chants an ideal oath that cannot be realized, and is willing to work hard for it. This kind of alternation between purity and sage makes Nabu great.
For shock.
What is civilization?
Naboo once thought that building a tall royal city, erecting solid earth walls, owning a vast land, crushing all directions with absolute strength, and then respectfully offering sacrifices to their gods so that the people could seriously produce food would be a good idea.
Even if it is civilized.
But now, he finally understands what a true sage and civilization is!
Civilization does not consist in having big cities, strong walls, vast lands, or powerful strength. These are only guarantees for the continuation of civilization, derivatives created by civilization, not civilization itself!
Humanities! This is the true ontology of civilization!
The latitude and longitude of the sky is called Wen, and the light shining in all directions is called Ming!
His hand holding the carving knife was almost unsteady, trembling and shaking, and he wrote down the words that Meng Tu had recited word for word. He carved very carefully.
At this time, the alliance has reached the eighth item.
"Determine the country's name!"
Zhuxia is a temporary name for the alliance collective, and it is not a real country name. At this time, the leaders also understood that Zhuxia was only a temporary era, but they did not expect that they would have to define a new one when the alliance process was coming to an end.
Country name.
"So, in the past, the Yellow Emperor ruled the world, his country was named Xuanyuan clan, Shaohao was king of the world, his country was named Jintian clan, Zhuanxu was king of the world, and his country was named Gaoyang clan."
"Emperor Ku Gaoxin, Emperor Zhi Gaoxin, Emperor Fangxun Tao Tang's current country name, let's count it as Tang."
Yu Zai's speech caused some people to whisper.
Why is it considered Tang instead of Tao?
Moreover, the so-called country names in the past were the names of states, and most of them were called by the clan leader, or the clan name of the head clan. Everyone thinks that now that all the Xia are unified, you want to have a country name, but you don’t know what the country name is.
Is the name the name of the clan, or is it the "Thirteen Tribes and Nine Tribes" used to refer to all the Xia tribes in the ancient Three Emperors era?
Then the name of Zhu Xia's country must be called Xia Kingdom Ten Thousand Divisions?
"When I see your faces, I know what's going on in your minds! You all know that in the past, the name of the country came from the clan leader. What I am going to say now has nothing to do with this!"
Yu Zai explained loudly:
"What I want to say is that the era of the clan leader's surname as the name of the country is over now! It ends in the hands of Zhu Xia and in the eyes of you, me and everyone else. Therefore, the new name of the country is ours.
The name of a person's country is not determined by the surnames of certain tribes or leaders!"
Yu Zai really wanted to use the name Huaxia directly, but Huaxia was the joint name of all the tribes in the Central Plains in this era. If Huaxia was used, it would cause people in other places in Zhuxia to ask questions. Since Huaxia can be used, it can also be used.
Dongyi Baiyue Queen Mother of the West
After all, the current Zhuxia area is the result of integration, not attack. You don’t need to care about the opinions of the other party on the conquered land, but it can be subdued by the mighty spirit, and in this era when integration is relatively shallow, you want to make it
Everyone has a common sense of honor to maintain it, so there must be a common name.
Otherwise, no matter whose name is used, other people will feel that the tribe with this name is superior to others, which is not conducive to future integration and unification.
Yu Zai lets everyone speak.
But everyone looked at each other in confusion for a while, saying that they wanted to listen to the opinions of the others.
If Gou Azai can say such words, he must have made a choice. It doesn't hurt to listen to it and refer to it. If the words are good, just use them.
"The name of the country is Han, which means the stars in the sky. It not only represents the light of our ancestors, but also represents our own future. It is said that there is Han in the sky, and there is also light in the mirror."
"Wherever the twenty-four states, the twenty-nine heads of states, and all the tribes in the Xia Alliance go, and all the places they expand, they are collectively called Chixian Shenzhou!"
“Everywhere the sun and moon shine, and wherever rivers reach, are all Han lands!”
