Chapter 703: They are all old

Hao Fenglou then remembered that he seemed to be referring to the mulberry and scolding the slaughter. In fact, Emperor Taizu was similar to the first emperor. They all became emperors, and everything was renewed. They created a system and thought that their system was perfect. As long as they followed this system, they would definitely be able to be in line with each other for generations and their own country could be passed down for generations.

In a sense, Zhu Yuanzhang's system is indeed "perfect". At least in this era, it is definitely ahead of the times. It is a cabinet system, a system of giving offices, and a balance of the officials, and a separation of powers. In the local area, the governor's office is in charge of the government, the criminal law is in charge of the criminal law, and the commander's office is in charge of the military, and there are even many shocking innovations. Wherever local officials harm the people, the people can escort them to the capital to punish them, and all monks and laymen can speak of things, and so on.

Needless to say, the imperial examination system was continued by our ancestors, and it was fair, so it was taken by the Na Ying and evolved into the civil service examination system in later generations. As for the cabinet system, it was also carried forward in later generations.

In this era, in Hao Fenglou's opinion, this old man Zhu is not a time traveler, but he is simply ahead of his ability to design such a system.

However, his system was quickly evolved and overturned. The reason is ridiculous, because this system that is the most perfect in the empire ignores one thing - human nature.

Humans are utilitarian animals, and when they are promoted to the most perfect system, they will actually be compromised by people in the end. For example, the separation of powers seems quite beautiful. Everyone checks and balances each other, but the problem is that once the separation of powers, the powers and responsibilities may not be clear. In this case, there will inevitably be someone who shirks the responsibility and does not encounter any chaos. Once the chaos occurs, the entire system will be disordered, and later, it will have to set up a governor above the commander and the commander. Later, I feel that it is still a bit disappointing. So I simply set up a governor above the governor, and later I became even more crazy. I need to set up a supervisor above the governor.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than adapting to the development of the times. To put it bluntly, any system is nothing more than self-reform and continuous updating. Some of this reform is promoted by the upper class, while the vast majority are actually forced to do so. For example, the British and the new merchants appeared and shouted for political rights. The king refused to give it, so the revolution was glorious and the model army defeated the royal party. Well, naturally, from the king and the nobles to the king and the nobles to the king and the nobles and the capitalists to the king and the nobles. Later, the civil movement appeared, and the workers were really unable to withstand the oppression of the nobles and the capitalists. So over Europe, a ghost was wandering. If the original system continued to be maintained, it would be in danger of collapse. So when everyone thought about it, they slowly leaked a little profit in their fingers and shared it with the workers.

As for the French king opposite the strait, he had no such luck. The English could even tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. Relying on the exploitation of the vast colonies, they used it to improve the interests of some civilians and win the hearts of the people. The French could not play with it. So today, they rebel tomorrow, and finally came five republics and three restoration. This was also a great innovation of mankind.

Therefore, in Hao Fenglou's view, the system is all fake. In essence, the upper class oppresses the lower class. This is the way of rule. The question is whether the upper class can earn enough benefits, give the lower class a share of the pie, and numb the lower class people. Just like the Roman Empire, the upper class is indeed a good and delicious food, but it expands to the outside world and plunders slaves everywhere. Therefore, their means of exploitation can be used on slaves. As for the common people, it has become the cornerstone of their rule and the most important target of their envelopment.

.For example, the so-called developed countries in later generations are nothing more than lying under the guise of their parents. With hundreds of years of technological leadership, hundreds of craftsmen spent several months building an airplane to exchange for hundreds of millions of trousers behind the technology. Hundreds of personal power are equivalent to tens of thousands of personal power behind the lag of the country. With such advantages, the upper class can make a fortune, and even the lower class will get a share of the pie. If one day, such an advantage will no longer exist, no matter what system you are, once your living standards decline, you will probably tear you to pieces.

Hao Fenglou was just relying on his two-life experience and talked a few nonsense. But he didn't know that he accidentally slandered Emperor Taizu and naturally "pleaded guilty and surrendered the law."

Zhu Di was furious, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh: "Although you are so ruthless, you are still heartfelt. I will not punish you this time, but in the future, I must remember that some words can be done or not, some words can be said or not, and these words can be said or not. If you tell me, I can understand you. If you shout all over the world, this will be disrespectful."

When Hao Fenglou thought, Zhu Di really understood that some things about Taizu could not be used, so he would change them, but after changing them, he could not say them. Even if they were beyond recognition, he would sacrifice Emperor Taizu and say that he was following the ancestral system. This is the difference between saying and doing. It can be seen that this flexibility was not something that later generations had, but even the ancients were learning and applying.

Hao Fenglou quickly responded.

Zhu Di smiled: "There is spring next year. I want to go to Beijing. You are in the capital, so stay here for a long time. This year, it's not interesting to live. Why doesn't it snow in Nanjing? "

When he finished speaking, his face showed a loneliness and finally sighed: "I am old, you are so young. When you are old, you will think about things, recall the past, and review the gains and losses of this life. I can't tell whether it is good or bad in this life. It seems that future generations have to discuss it. Since that's the case, then be yourself. I want to go to Zijin Mountain to hunt. It's good to liven up the muscles and bones."

Zhu Di stood up, walked to Hao Fenglou, and put his hand on his shoulder: "The prince is a literary talent, and can entrust political affairs. King Zhao and you are a martial talent. I will feel at ease staying in the capital. You can retreat."

Hao Fenglou clearly felt that Zhu Di showed a little deep fatigue. Perhaps the emperor would be tired after doing it for a long time.

He laughed in his heart, got up and left.

When I came out of the palace, I went to the banquet.

As the end of the year approaches, there are many more banquets. For example, the new Minister of Revenue, wanted to invite Hao Fenglou to the mansion for a drink several times, and the Lanruo Temple in the Forbidden City. His mentor Yao Guangxiao also wanted to go by himself. Yao Guangxiao was already exhausted in his twilight years. Hao Fenglou thought about it and decided to go to Lanruo Temple.

But time is difficult to grasp. After all, it is far away. Once you go, you have to stay for a few days. But during these days, you don’t know what will happen, so you just waste it.

Two days later, Hao Fenglou slept soundly at night, holding Xiang'er in his hand, and he turned around many times, but an impatient voice came from outside. A girl in the room hurriedly said to the outsider: "Mr. Marquis, Marquis, someone has come from Zijin Mountain, saying that Mr. Yao is critically ill."

After hearing this news, Hao Fenglou was awakened. In fact, he was not sad at this time. Perhaps he had expected such a day. As soon as he rumbling, Xiang'er hurriedly put on his clothes. Hao Fenglou went out quickly and said directly, "Call Liu Hu, Zhang Guan and others, don't use a car, sedan, or a horse."

In fact, everything was ready, and it was prepared by the Shenwu Guard. Hao Fenglou brought a few guards to Chaoyang Gate. The city gate was not open at night. Even Hao Fenglou would never break this rule. So the generals on the city tower hung him down the city tower. There were dozens of people waiting outside the city, leading dozens of horses. Hao Fenglou quickly stepped up, without making a call, turned over and took the group to quickly go to Zijin Mountain.

In Lanruo Temple.

Yao Guangxiao seemed to fall asleep, his expression was peaceful. If it weren't for the occasional bloody cough, no one would have thought that this old monk had reached the end of his life.

Hao Fenglou came in. As soon as he came in, all the novice monks in the Zen room automatically left and closed the door.

Hao Fenglou sat in front of the couch, Yao Guangxiao also opened his eyes. Perhaps because of his rebirth, Yao Guangxiao's spirit seemed particularly good and his face was rosy. He smiled at Hao Fenglou and said, "The old monk has been lonely and helpless in this life, and has no descendants, and only one sister. Unfortunately, he has already cut off his robe and righteousness from the old monk. As a teacher, he has truly entered the nun. He has no emotions and six desires. The only thing worthy of gratitude is that he has accepted two disciples, one is you and the other is Zheng He."

"You are accepted as a disciple because you act decisively and have a backbone behind your head. You often do things unexpectedly. It looks like me, an old monk. I am not an easy-to-control guy who will definitely become famous all over the world. Look, the old monk is not bad as expected. You are the only one who can get me clothes!"
