Chapter 419: The Source of Evil: Corruption (4k)

In fact, the prince, who was only eighteen years old, had already had a very mature mind during his career as a ghost coach for only more than a month. It would be no exaggeration to say a revolutionary.

So when this layer of window paper is broken, Liu Xie does not need to continue talking, and Liu Chan himself can figure out the underlying logic of this matter.

The nobles and imperial power are actually highly bound, and are granted by imperial power and legal exploitation of the people. The reason why imperial power is stable is largely because the imperial power can determine who will be the noble.

The nobles are nobles of the Han Dynasty and are naturally loyal fans of the imperial power. To give an inappropriate example, why, the longer a regime exists in time and space, the more difficult it is to overthrow it?

Why did Cao Cao obviously wear yellow robe as a vest but never usurp the Han Dynasty? Why did Xun Yu assist Cao Cao for many years in history, but chose to commit suicide as a Han minister when he was about to kick him?

Later generations often have a misunderstanding, which is to deeply bind the dynasty to the emperor himself, believing that the two things of deposing and establishing the emperor and changing the dynasty are highly bound. But in fact, looking at the entire history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is just a common thing to deposing and establishing the emperor. In fact, most of the time, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was just a rubber stamp, and even eunuchs could write the imperial edict himself, and the general could form the Shangshu platform by himself. The emperor was not even a rubber stamp.

If you say you're killed, you're killed.

But changing dynasties is different, because no matter how powerful ministers treat today's sons, even if they change a hundred emperors, as long as the world is still called Han in name, then the vested interests of the interest groups formed over the past four hundred years are protected in terms of law and no one can shake them.

But once the dynasty changes, how can you let the nobles who hold the title of Han court be handled by themselves? How can those powerful families deal with themselves? Even if they verbally guarantee that their interests are not violated, will they believe it?

Besides, it is impossible to be uninvaded, because the change of dynasties itself represents a major reshuffle of the backbone of society, and it is headed by Xun Yu and the great families who served in the Han Dynasty for generations cannot accept it.

Therefore, nobles are the real foundation of a dynasty. They may ignore the government affairs and allow the upper imperial power to be bullied or changed, but they are the ballast stones to protect the dynasty from being replaced.

In terms of exploitation, imperial power is the real exploitation, the real source of sin. After all, the Lord does not give lightly. No matter how his descendants are messing around, the noble ancestors at the source have always made great contributions to the country.

The most important thing is that the Lord’s evil is boundary after all, and it is deeply bound to the shares.

However, there is almost no boundary for imperial power. All the so-called kings under the world are kings. In this world, only ethics and morality can be used to bind imperial power.

The reason why people in the world do not feel the exploitation of imperial power is largely because today's son is kind, wise, wise and powerful, and he himself never thought of exploiting the people, so he naturally ignored this part.

What if future generations are not virtuous?

I don’t have to look far away. Isn’t my grandfather, the legendary late emperor, just a traitor?

Is imperial power itself the source of all evil?

But not to mention that their father and son are imperial power themselves, isn’t it also driven by imperial power when they can have today’s grand occasion? Without a father and emperor, how could the prosperity come about?

Moreover, according to past historical experience, every dynasty, whenever the imperial power declined, it was inevitable that the princes would rise up, the heroes would compete for the people, and the people would suffer. Is such a crime no more cruel than mere oppression and exploitation?

How could it be reactionary?

"Is it contradictory?" Liu Xie asked.

"Yes, it's very contradictory, not to mention the position issue. If a country cannot even stabilize the imperial power, it will inevitably cause turmoil. The people who suffer in the end will be the people at the bottom. In this dynasty, the imperial power in your hands has gone from extreme decline to the current prosperity, and the people have also changed from changing their sons to becoming rich in food and clothing. I am afraid that even the most crazy person in the world cannot say that the imperial power is not good, right? This is what comes from the mouth of your father, you. In other words, people in the world will inevitably despise it, even the most oppressed ghosts are no exception."

"It's indeed a contradiction, but there is actually a misunderstanding here."

“What is it?”

"The misunderstanding of monarchal centralization and centralization. The late emperor lost the world and did not lose the imperial power. At least when he was alive, the imperial power was always stable. However, at that time, the late emperor had basically lost the ability to directly restrict the county, and even the county. In addition, he was indeed stupid. Once he died, the central power was divided into eunuchs and relatives. The two factions of foreign relatives fell into struggle again, making the central power even weaker."

"So, if a mere Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, the central authority will be lost. In fact, it would not be difficult for He Jin to be wise and martial, not to fight with the eunuchs, and to barely maintain the way the late emperor was alive."

"If I were not a wise god, the plot of ghosts and gods, the power of the state was still in the hands of your grandfather, would the lives of the people be worse than those of the late emperor?"

"But if this is the case, my grandfather will become the emperor sooner or later. Otherwise, it would be nothing more than Liang and Dou's old stories. There is no way to talk about centralization. After all, it is to change the soup without changing the medicine. It is still difficult to stabilize the people. The people are just about the end."

Liu Xie nodded and expressed his approval: "The economic foundation determines the superstructure. Judging from the current economic foundation of the Han Dynasty, it is indeed that only when the imperial power is stable can the world be healthy, and any force trying to exercise imperial power will eventually become imperial power itself."

"So, Father, you have been working hard to improve the power of the Shangshutai, Zhongshutai, Tax Office and the Military Commission for many years. For fifteen years, you have almost never asked about political affairs. Are you restricting the imperial power by yourself?"

Liu Xie thought about it, but didn't know how to explain it to Liu Chan for a moment, so he had to say, "So do you think these are useful?"

Liu Chan thought for a while and said, "If the emperor is a mediocre person, it is useful, these yamen can help the imperial power to manage the world. If the emperor is a smart benevolent king, it is also useful. With their help, it can be much easier to handle major affairs in the world, so that the people of the world can be prosperous and healthy. If the emperor is a stupid fool, it is also useful. Multiple departments will restrict each other, and there will be no powerful ministers who can cover the sky with one hand in the short term, but if the emperor is a smart and single man, it is useless like the late emperor."

As he said that, Liu Chan closed his eyes and thought, "If I were a traitor, I would take back all the authority you gave at most ten years after ascending the throne."

"Yes, so it's still a matter of the dispute between imperial power and ministerial power. It doesn't make much sense. Do you know? I once imagined a more extreme way, which is the real truth of the monarch and the constitutional monarchy, but I gave up."

"On the one hand, it's because no one dares to make a reality under my hands. Let's talk about Xun Yu. Xun Yue was so scared that he resigned after being the Secretariat for a few days. It disappointed me once. Since then, he should have been the Shangsariat with the greatest real power in the court, and no one dares to be the Shangsariat at all. The power of the Shangsariat was divided into six, and it was made into six Shangsariats. Oh, it's all tears to say too much."

"Of course this is not the point. Later, I thought this was unreliable. If the Prime Minister held real power, he would definitely want to transgress. It is human nature to pass on his father to the son. In the end, it would be a change of soup and no medicine. If it was a collective decision... Honestly, collective decision-making is actually far more likely to breed corruption than personal dictatorship."

"It's like a company. If there is a major shareholder, then the major shareholder will definitely protect the interests of the company. To put it bluntly, the company is his. But if there is no major shareholder and no master, then you will try your best to get things at home? A truth."

"After all, centralization is the cornerstone of a country's stability, but all oppression or dark side all comes from the corruption of power itself. If power is not supervised, corruption is almost inevitable, but is the power under supervision still considered power? Or is the power to supervise power not corrupt? Of course, the power to supervise power can be handed over to the people, but who will represent the people?"

"So, all sins come from corruption. I personally can guarantee that I am not corrupt. I am very confident in you now. You should not be corrupt. In the future, only God knows our descendants."

"The same is true for nobles. In Luoyang City, the source of all sins is a problem of corruption. Fifteen years ago, I discussed with Fuhou for a long time, and decided to sell foreign women as slaves. In fact, it was to release those bad desires."

"You think the people at the bottom of Luoyang City live a miserable life. To put it bluntly, it is because there are too many people coming to Luoyang to work, and the number is half less than now. If you look at it, the quality of life will be up soon. What kind of oppression is there? How can there be oppression? Why are there so many people coming to Luoyang City to work? To put it bluntly, it is still because of corruption. If it weren't for corruption, how could so many homeless people come? To put it bluntly, this is the corruption in the whole country that has accumulated in Luoyang, so Luoyang is just dark. Is this a problem for Luoyang? You say that whether it is to build low-rent houses or raise the minimum wage, there are so many nobles, and there are so many jobs in consumption capacity. The better the treatment, the more people come, the more people come, the more they will be. After rolling around, no more than three years, everything you have fought for them today is in vain."

"So... corruption cannot be cured?"

Liu Xie could only answer: "I don't know, and I don't know the answer. All I can do is to institutionalize, publicize and legalize corruption with the Lord and Luoyang Mausoleum migration system. Maybe there is a system that can eradicate corruption, but I didn't expect that this task can be handed over to you. You are still young and have a long future, so you can think about it slowly."

As he said that, Liu Xie patted Liu Chan on the shoulder and stood up.

"In this world, it has always been easy to know and difficult to do. Do you think that you are doing something in Luoyang now, and the output of this idea is so simple? Don't study the corruption of nobles first. Sometimes people have to accept their fate, and many problems are unsolvable."

"There is no need to be too serious, nor too worried about future generations. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We can guarantee that in my generation, your generation, it is actually good to have two wise lords. One generation does the things of one generation. If one day the descendants are unworthy, causing the people to suffer and the great Han Dynasty is unstable, then this is the same fortune. It should be the disaster."

"I'm open."

"Oh, since you decided not to go back, you will still act as a ghost coach. Then I will find you an opponent?"

"What?"

"Do you really think that it's so easy to make a revolution? Wang Lang resigned, and I have never expressed my opinion. Wang Yi has always known that the Ghost Shooter is you, and no one has ever made any moves with you. If this were in Dongwu, how could it be so easy."

"Does the father want to fight with his sons personally?"

"You look up to me, I don't have these tricks."

“…………”

"If you really don't plan to come back, I will let Guo Fengxiao take over the school office for the time being. Be prepared. No matter how bright the future is, you will eventually have to go through a tortuous road."

"Not violent and uncooperating, four-hour working hours, I think so beautifully. If Sun Ce could be moved down so easily, he wouldn't be Sun Ce."

When Liu Chan heard this, he said solemnly: "The father asked Guo Fengxiao to let the horse come over."

"You are not allowed to see Mao again before defeating Guo Fengxiao."

After saying that, Liu Xie left.

Liu Chan was staring at the half cup of tea that he had not finished drinking alone, feeling that his mind was still very confused.

Why do I have such a lot of information every time I chat with my father?

Before he could sort out what happened today, his shoulders sank, but Liu Xie was back.

Waving his hand, letting everyone get out of here, he sat beside Liu Chan and asked, "I can't help but talk to you about the important things."

"Please say it, Father."

"Then Mao, are you serious? Are you sure she is not pregnant?"

“…………”

"Please think about it for me, why did I tell your mother? She still doesn't know that Guishuai is you. I didn't bring you back to her, but she brought her back a daughter-in-law and she couldn't fuck me."

Liu Chan was amused and crying.

"Looking at her temperament, although there is indeed a grassland in our family that can make her feel very damn, it's a bit too much to find a wild horse. The key is that she doesn't allow you to take a concubine yet. What do you think? I really don't plan to take a concubine."

"I... not only do not plan to take a concubine, but in the future I will also plan to legislate that men in the world will not allow the taking of concubines. The system of taking a concubine itself is also exploitation."

"Tsk, this is the reason, but it's not very practical."

"So I have to set an example."

"Tsk, to be honest, you said this, I have thought about it, but I told you that this woman is... everyone has their own benefits, do you understand? You said this person, eating, in fact, you are used to eating delicacies and seafood, and you are too lazy to change silk and satin every day, why not live, you have to have a house of tens of millions, and sleeping requires three feet wide. If a woman doesn't do more, life will be boring."

"Isn't what you are talking about the source of corruption?"

Liu Xie was stunned by Liu Chan's statement.

Then he gave him a thumbs up and said, "Okay, you are better than me."
