Chapter three hundred and eighty second: to the future(1/3)
Regarding Minister Xiao’s intentions.
Zhang Heng knew very well.
At the end of every era, there will be people who want to save it.
Even during the Republic of China, Zhang Xun and his braided army were still thinking about restoration.
It's just that the times are like this, so how can we force it.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Jincheng, as the new minister, could kneel down to see him as the head of the headquarters without any shame.
"What a Xiao Jincheng, you are putting me on the fire!"
I heard that Xiao Jincheng was kneeling outside.
Zhang Heng felt this and said: "This person is more difficult to deal with than Lao Cao."
Although Minister Cao is also very powerful, he has climbed to high positions step by step and has great power.
But he couldn't do such a thing as kneeling down to beg for help. Without him, he wouldn't be able to let go of his arrogance for a long time.
Xiao Jincheng was able to let it go.
A man who can pick up things and put them down is undoubtedly very scary.
"Ancestor."
"No matter how powerful a person named Xiao is, he is just a papermaker."
"Whether his ball of paper can cover the fire depends on whether you, ancestor, will appreciate it or not."
Inside the ancestral hall.
The elders of the Zhang clan sat on both sides.
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.
His existence is both convenience and restriction.
In the Zhang family, there is no other top driver besides him, because these people do not have enough sense of worry in their hearts.
Look at how they look.
Obviously he didn't take Xiao Jincheng seriously.
But that's right, the headquarters lost troops and generals in Rotary City, so it's really not a good place now.
Not to mention others, none of the elders within the Zhang family feel that they can go back to the past. The era of the headquarters has passed after all.
"Ancestor, if you don't want to see him, why don't we come forward and send him away."
Sensing that something was wrong with Zhang Heng's expression, a clan elder suggested: "After all, Xiao Jincheng is also the head of the headquarters, so he should still be given the face he deserves."
Hear this.
Zhang Heng's face softened a bit and he said, "Well, let me meet him, otherwise he won't be willing to give in."
People always like to get into trouble.
It is easy to complain when you are unwilling.
Although Zhang Heng never paid attention to the headquarters from beginning to end, there was no need to step on him at this time. He was not someone who would add insult to injury.
"Minister Xiao, are you okay?"
soon.
Zhang Heng invited Xiao Jincheng into the study.
The last time I saw him, Xiao Jincheng was still the deputy minister of the headquarters. He was mature and prudent, and had the air of a general.
See you again today.
He looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot.
He was only forty years old, half of his hair was gray, and he looked haggard.
"Mr. Zhang, I hope you are fine, but the burden on me is too heavy. How can I relax?"
As Xiao Jincheng spoke, he knelt down to Zhang Heng: "Mr. Zhang, the headquarters is really unsustainable. Please see that you have a share of credit for the establishment of the headquarters. Please lend a helping hand to prevent it from falling."
"Get up first..."
Zhang Heng pulled Xiao Jincheng up with a wave of his hand.
After finishing, he picked up the tea cup in his hand and shook his head slightly: "In my opinion, the implementation of the captain plan and the leader plan has made a contribution, and it has made a great contribution to stabilizing regional peace."
"But everything has pros and cons, two sides of the same coin."
"If the headquarters is strong enough, the people below will naturally not be able to cause chaos."
"On the contrary, the headquarters does not have the power to suppress everything. Just like during the Tang Dynasty, when power was delegated to local governors, chaos is inevitable."
"Old Zhang..."
Xiao Jincheng wanted to say something.
Zhang Heng interrupted him and said: "I already know your purpose of coming, but it is useless. Only when people's minds are calm can the world be stable. If people's minds are chaotic, the world will inevitably be in chaos."
"Do you think that in today's world, with those self-proclaimed and invincible controllers, do they want stability, or do they want peace among princes and generals?"
Xiao Jincheng said impatiently: "Mr. Zhang, if you are willing to come out and sit firmly in the headquarters, those people will not dare to have any ideas."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Wrong, I can stop the water of the Yellow River, but I can't stop the flow of ambition."
"What will happen if I go with you? I'll fight them and kill them."
"There are so many people in the world, I can't kill them all, right?"
"Historical Records·The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin once said: Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away."
"Now, you are the Qin that has lost its deer. The First Emperor is dead and the land is divided. How can you stop the greed of the people in the world?"
Can become a minister after Minister Cao.
Xiao Jincheng is naturally not a young man.
But he was in it, even though Zhang Heng had made it clear, he still couldn't help but plead: "Mr. Zhang, is there really nothing we can do?"
"It's not like there's nothing."
Zhang Heng thought for a while: "The headquarters has been guarding the world for many years, and there is still a certain amount of support in the hearts of the people. It's just that the previous model is no longer suitable. If you are willing to change, you may not be able to have the Eastern Han Dynasty succeed the Western Han Dynasty and prosper again."
Xiao Jincheng became more energetic: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean..."
Zhang Heng did not hide anything: "What do those people want? Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, flying around to wash away the ground?"
"Of course not, what they want is dignity, rights, and autonomy."
"In ancient Rome, there was a Senate."
"This is the predecessor of the parliamentary system. Every senator can make his own voice heard in the Senate and seek benefits for himself."
"Can we also change the power structure and use cities as modules to form city-state parliaments, so that drivers can enter the center of power instead of being called around like chess pieces?"
"If possible, I believe that the vast majority of city leaders are willing to accept this proposal, and only a few will not accept it."
"As time goes by, there may still be some hope."
"This..." Xiao Jincheng smiled a little awkwardly.
to be honest.
This time I came to beg Zhang Heng to return to the headquarters to ensure that his rights would not be lost.
If the Supreme Council is established as Zhang Heng said, there is no need to invite Zhang Heng to come out.
"In the end, I still can't bear to part with you, right?"
Zhang Heng sighed: "Then there is no need to continue talking. Drivers need to make their voices heard. The new era must look like the new era. Since you don't believe it and want to try it, then give it a try."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Heng didn't wait for Xiao Jincheng to speak again, and the crutch in his hand poked the ground.
Xiao Jincheng felt his feet were empty.
The next second, when he came back to his senses, he was already standing on the rooftop of the headquarters.
Woo woo woo...
The wind howled on the rooftop.
Xiao Jincheng looked confused.
If he remembered correctly, the round trip was five thousand miles away.
How terrible it is to cross it in an instant.
"Rights, rights!
"well!!""
