The so-called family world must first have the concept of a country. This country is not like the countries of Ji Li, Hei Te, and Yan Huo. They are called countries. In fact, they are just built by descendants who share a common culture, common language, and behavioral habits.
Just a village.
The real country is the result of further development on the basis of this natural village at the stage of clan alliance. In the long river of history, this "national collective" has evolved from city-states to dynasties, and depending on geography,
City-states and dynasties can even coexist.
The family and the world are a state in which the emperor takes the state power as his own and inherits it from generation to generation.
The country is the private product of the emperor. It sounds like the emperor is the most dangerous, but in fact, the more series of groups that spread out from the family world are the most dangerous things in this country model.
Ye is the one who formulated the Five Ethics and Nine Virtues. His ideal new world should not be what Yu Zai described, but the deduction Yu Zai told him is extremely true. Although Ye can see it,
Yu Zai just deduced it out of anger because of her bad attitude towards him, but this result is unacceptable to Karma anyway.
"The world should never be ruled by one person! It should not be restricted or cut off by certain classes."
"It's like managing a large river. Gonggong seeks to benefit his own tribe and diverts part of the river water. The river water brings happiness to them, but brings disaster to other tribes. When water is needed, there is no flow. When water is not needed, there is no flow.
Time overflows again."
Ye thought of the four emperors today. Their ancestors all gave birth to famous emperors, and their clans were able to develop and grow because of this. In the end, Di Fangxun's generation had a great say and could even influence Di Fangxun.
Xun’s will.
Are these powerful clans the predecessors of the so-called "nobles"?
But when you become stronger, you will in turn make the tribe prosperous. Isn't this what you should do?
Do we have to go back to the age of the Three Ancient Emperors so that people can unite as one and not be overwhelmed by interests and do these terrible things?
Could it be that the current development is not as good as the era of the Emperor Wanghou clan?
"The terrible era he described to me, I couldn't believe that if the accede system collapsed and all the rights in the world were tied to one person, what terrible things would this person do."
"There should be laws on respect and inferiority in the world, but one should not respect one person and humble the world. The establishment of etiquette should not be used to do these things."
Uncle Xi asked: "What did you say, Zaihe?"
Ye Dao: "He said that the formulation of etiquette, the Five Ethics and the Nine Virtues should be a moral code that is universal in the world, rather than demarcating the boundaries between superior and inferior, and stop there."
"If the emperor appoints a large number of people with the same surname and clan as teachers and official positions, then this clan will always be superior to the people in the world. The emperor in this world should select the talented and capable..."
The struggle between clans is completely different from a single clan ascending to the highest power. At least the position of emperor of the world must have great virtue and ability. An emperor like Emperor Zhi who has no ability and lacks clever methods will soon be
Throw yourself and the world into chaos.
After listening to some of Ye's description, Uncle Xi fell into a long silence. Suddenly, he asked a question.
"Is the world considered a public one now?"
Ye was very surprised: "Isn't it true that the world is a public institution and we should select the most capable people?"
"No, it's just expediency."
Uncle Xi said: "Since a long time ago, perhaps in the era of Emperor Shixi, that is, Master Taihao, this kind of expedient handover has been formed. Unless the incumbent really wants to hand it over to the latter person, the Fuxi clan
At that time, Nuwa was actually the dominant one. Emperor Shixi liked Taihao very much, but Taihao was not a girl."
"But there is no way. Taihao's accumulation has surpassed her, and she is getting older and older, and she is becoming more and more incompetent. After arriving at Shennong's family, under the inspiration of the same bloodline, these bloodlines gathered together and took turns to become the world's leader.
Dominated, and now, after the Yellow Emperor, we call the new system abdication."
"But Emperor Ku is said to be born sacred by the world, but in his later years he insisted on going his own way and entrusting the world to Emperor Zhi. Doesn't he know that Zhi cannot carry the world?"
"So, I suddenly had an idea... The best form of the true public world, the king's recommendation, may really be like the era of the Emperor Wanghou clan."
"The next generation of kings will be elected by everyone. After Wang Huo's death, everyone will recommend Yue Jian. After Yue Jian's death, everyone will recommend Ju Fang."
Ye was very surprised: "Everyone in the world has his own thoughts and seeks the welfare of his own tribe. People in the world are backward. The king who rules the world or a part of the mountains and seas has mastered advanced power and can stand on the top of the mountain."
ah."
Uncle Xi shook his head: "It's just an idea that came out of nowhere. It may be unrealistic and impossible to realize. Just like there will always be a leader among the sheep, and there must be a wolf king among the wolves. These are all
The human race, who competes with themselves and suppresses many of their kind... is actually the same."
Ye Dao: "What you are thinking is definitely wrong, at least it is unrealistic. Only by standing in the position of a king can we better see the changes in the world, the relationship between humans, beasts, gods, and mountains.
How can I handle it correctly?"
"When Emperor Zhuanxu was in power, he ordered Chongli to separate heaven and earth and put a stop to obscene sacrifices in various places, making the barbaric behavior of blood sacrifices disappear. As a result, many gods were punished. However, Emperor Zhuanxu also joined forces with many gods. After everyone discussed, they wanted to
Those who want to leave will leave, and those who want to stay will not be forcibly evicted, but they can no longer act recklessly."
"This is not based on benevolence. We must first use strong strength to stop them and make them bow their heads. Then the gods know that Zhuan Xu has changed the relationship between humans and gods. He has completely lost his nobility.
After that, what is the difference between humans and gods? They are all children of heaven and earth."
Ye stood up: "I walked up the steps and experienced ups and downs, so someone behind me tried to come to my side, but I was very unhappy and thought he was not qualified."
Uncle Xi looked at him, thoughtfully listening to these words.
Ye apologized to Uncle Xi: "I will rethink the meaning of superiority and inferiority and appoint people on their merits, because there are always people in the world who are full of greed, and the human heart is something that the eyes cannot see through."
As Ye said this, what came to mind was a question that Suzai answered last night after she regained her temper before leaving.
Because Yu Zai said that now it is public ownership and not the common world, so Ye asked, why do you say this? If it is not the common world now, then is it wrong to abdicate?
Yu Zai thought about it and used an ideal world of great harmony described by Confucius in the Book of Rites to answer.
"The path of the great road is that the world is for the common good, select the worthy and capable, maintain trust and cultivate harmony. Therefore, we should not only kiss our relatives, nor only our children, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, and the young will have their own strengths, and they will be jealous and widowed.
The orphans, the lonely, the disabled and the sick will all be provided with support, men will have their share, and women will have their homes..."
"People are willing to do their best for public affairs, not necessarily for their own personal gain..."
These words deeply shocked Karma, but Yuzai said that it was an impossible world, so he even blurted out and asked: "Isn't this the final ideal of abdication? Isn't it unattainable?"
And Yu Zai's words made Ye's hands tremble.
"The reason why an ideal is an ideal."
"Because it is so far away from the world. That sentence came from a friend of mine. He died for a long time. He said that the great road is on the other side, and you can't reach it in your lifetime... Oh, if you ask about the great road, it is the law of nature.
."
"But if you have ideals, there will be people walking on this road, bringing joy to the unfortunate people in the world. The hungry people hope to have food, and the homeless people hope to have shelter. The human race has come step by step from the barbaric era, hoping to gain
Hunting, Yue Jian looking for a place to live, Ju Fang leading people to settle down, Sui people mastering the secret of ordinary fire, building nests and weaving clothes, Zhisheng leading people to gradually get rid of ignorance and start production..."
"And then until now."
"Overall, it's pretty good, isn't it? When he finally realizes his ideal after struggling for several lifetimes, the last person who realizes it will definitely be able to see many like-minded old friends when he looks back!"
