() After some pleasantries, Yunfeng, Jin Yuehua and Su Qizhen, accompanied by more than a dozen female Rakshasa, followed Xi Jian and his daughter into the city, and soon arrived at Xi Jian's mansion. Due to their haste, the banquet was

It was not set up yet, so Yunfeng was introduced to the study, while Jin Yuehua and Su Qizhen followed Xi Xuan to visit the mansion.

Xi Jian's study room is simply decorated, but has a rich collection of books. As soon as he walked in, Yunfeng smelled a strong aroma of books. When he opened his eyes, he saw that there were not only paper books, but also a large number of bamboo slips.

Since Sima Yan usurped the Kingdom of Cao Wei, due to the initial social stability and vigorous economic development, papermaking has made major breakthroughs. In addition to traditional hemp paper and silk wadding paper, mulberry paper and rattan paper have also appeared. Not only has the output increased greatly,

And the paper

The fibers are evenly intertwined, the appearance is white, and the surface is smooth, which can be described as a beautiful glow. Bamboo slips have gradually been replaced by paper books. This is reflected in the development of Chinese characters. Seal scripts, which are easy to carve, and official script are moving towards regular scripts, which are easy to write.

, the evolution trend of cursive script.

Obviously, the bamboo slips in Xi Jian's study should be ancient books preserved before Cao Wei. Xi Jian's collection of books not only has a long history, but also comes from the pre-Qin period, as well as his own collected works, and the content is also

There are all kinds of collections, including medicine, divination, military, mysticism, classics, history, and literature. The sharp-eyed Yunfeng actually saw the few self-published textbooks and the "Minben Lun" compiled by Qiao Xiu.

!..

Yun Feng couldn't help but praise: "I have always heard that Shangshu ordered me to read the classics, work hard and chant them, and my ambition is pure and elegant. When I see it today, it is true!"

Xi Jian was a little proud, and he declined continuously: "The King of Qin was so complimentary, I just did it casually. How can I deserve such praise?"

Yunfeng waved his hand: "Leopards can be seen in the tubes. Autumn can be seen in fallen leaves. A person's self-cultivation comes from reading. I have been fortunate enough to read Shangshuling's collected works. The ideas are far-reaching and the sentences are concise. They are completely different from those in the Wei Dynasty.

The trend of exaggeration and decoration in the past can be called a breath of fresh air in the literary world. Ministers must be humble."

As he spoke, Yunfeng glanced at Xi Jian who unconsciously stroked his beard, and praised again: "Jingkou is the gateway to Jiankang of the feudal lord. It is bordered by the river to the north and the steep mountains to the south. The situation is dangerous and is a priority for military strategists. I thought that

It is a place of solemn killing. Unexpectedly, when I first arrived today, I saw boats and horses rushing in and out. It was obvious that merchants gathered together. The market was booming, which is really surprising!"

As soon as these words came out, Xi Jian couldn't help showing a hint of pride, and said with a slight smile: "Jingkou is connected to Wuhui in the east, Jianghu is connected to the south, and the capital is connected to the west. With a Dingkou of nearly 200,000, it can also be called a city.

, King Qin may not know something, but most of the materials needed for Jiankang were transferred from Jingkou.

"Then, the voice changed again: "Although Han Yong is said to have taken refuge in the court, he is actually a pirate. The King of Qin went to sea to annihilate Han Yong and relieved the serious worries of the soldiers and people along the coast. This should be regarded as a supreme merit. I would like to congratulate him.

, but, King Qin has just returned to the capital, why did he come in such a hurry, could it be "

Xi Jian stopped talking in the middle of his words, and frowned, as if he was thinking about Yun Feng's purpose.

Yunfeng did not lie to him, and continued: "I am here for two things. One is to borrow a corner of Jingkou Pier to station a naval army in the future. The other is to ask the minister to be accommodating. Rong Gu deploys 20,000 troops at Jingkou.

Jing ride!"

These words were extremely abrupt and clueless, but Yunfeng believed that Xi Jian was a sensible person. There was no need to explain the causes, consequences, and changes in the situation. Xi Jian's appraisal was already clear.

When dealing with old foxes like Xi Jian and Director Wang, Yunfeng found that the effect of insinuating people is far less effective than going straight. There is no way, if you forgive him, he will forgive you, and the mercy will be even more fierce. Such old foxes

All of them have practiced Tai Chi Push Hands to the point of proficiency.

Xi Jian was stunned. He had already guessed Yunfeng's intention. Moreover, as soon as Yunfeng finished handling the crisis in Zhengyi Road, he rushed to Jingkou without stopping, which gave him a feeling of being taken seriously.

, I was quite satisfied in my heart, but I didn’t expect that Yunfeng opened his mouth and asked for the garrison. Allowing the garrison was actually tantamount to surrender. Is this too direct?

Xi Jian put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in the study. Yun Feng did not rush him. He understood that Xi Jian's refusal was unlikely.

Rejecting would mean falling out with oneself and completely surrendering to Liu Kun. Considering Xi Jian's personality and his friendship with Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan, he could not be so unwise, otherwise he would not have repeatedly shied away from Liu Kun's summons to Beijing.

Ordered.

Yunfeng was waiting for Xi Jian to propose conditions.

After a long time, Xi Jian stopped and turned around and said: "I have heard Mao Hong (a cousin of Wang Dao) and Jing You (a cousin of Xun Song) mention many times that after King Qin obtained the country in the future, he planned to rule the world with the people of the world. I

I have been thinking hard, but I still can't figure out the meaning of co-governance. Please forgive me, King Qin. I wonder if you can clear up the confusion?"

Yunfeng's spirit perked up, and he immediately raised his hands as he felt the drama coming to his mind: "Shang Shu Ling is rich in knowledge and has extensive knowledge of ancient and modern times. What do you think of your family and the world?"

Xi Jian did not dare to be slow at all. He knew that Yunfeng's visit today would probably determine the fate of Xi Jian and even the entire Gaoping Xi family. Confrontations of words often have a far-reaching impact than real swords and guns. This

It is a bloodless war.

After pondering for a long time, Xi Jian slowly said: "Since King Yu was transferred to Qi, it destroyed the abdication system of kings since Yao, Shun and Yu. At the same time, this was also the beginning of the family world. From then on, it went through three dynasties, from Chunqiu and Warring States to Qin, Han

, Wei, and even this dynasty, it has always been the case that the father dies and the son succeeds, and only as a last resort will the elder brother succeed the younger brother.

As the leader of the people, the emperor has great power in one person, and has the power of life and death over anyone. Since the Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars have attached the will and destiny of heaven. Everything he does is the will of heaven. The success or failure of a country is determined by the emperor alone.

Decide, if you get a wise king, then the world will be lucky; if you get a dim, tyrannical king, what will the common people do?

However, since the third generation, there have been very few wise kings, but faint kings, and tyrants have emerged one after another. In view of this, we, the nobles, have the common people in mind. Taking advantage of the chaos in the world and the decline of monarchy, we have joined forces to limit the power of the king so that he will not act recklessly.

If you don't replace him, just like Wang Dun rebelled, all the nobles in the world drove him away!

Since ancient times, in order to compete for the throne, fathers and sons have killed each other, and brothers have tortured each other. Our actions to limit the power of the monarch, making ministers and horses in the priests, and nobles in the government, are actually equivalent to eliminating the possibility of the clan committing a treason against human relations from the side.

!”

Xi Jian did not answer directly, but firmly expressed his political opinions. However, Yunfeng was a little surprised. Are the gentry really that great? The gentry only care about the interests of the family and never take into account the world. If they are in power continuously over the entire country

The four major families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang, Yu, Huan, and Xie, were all like this.

Seeing Yunfeng's surprised expression, Xi Jian was secretly proud. He had carefully studied Yunfeng's books and could roughly clarify Yunfeng's ideological context. Therefore, he laid out his political views as soon as he came up.

Strictly restrict the emperor's power and let the gentry jointly govern. Let's see what Yunfeng's answer is. Don't you want to decentralize power? Let's do it thoroughly. You can't slap yourself in the face?

Facing Xi Jian's kind eyes, Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Shang Shu Ling is compassionate and compassionate, and his starting point is admirable. However, the reason why the nobles can take power is that they must occupy strategic locations and possess overwhelmingly superior troops.

,otherwise,

There is no sound at all in the court. This is not called joining forces to restrict the monarch, but calling a single family powerful and using the period of subordinates to dominate the lord! Like Wang Dun before, when his power becomes unstoppable, he will naturally develop into raising an army.

To rebel, to covet the Supreme Throne.

We also compare it to Wang Dun. Because the nobles did not want to see a monarch who could overpower them, they would definitely join forces to fight. As a result, people were devastated and the people were in dire straits. Not only was the country's power greatly damaged, but many soldiers died in vain.

In the midst of internal strife, the likes of Liu Shi can only cover their mouths and snicker, which is really depressing!

Another example is Liu Kun. If there is no one in the world, how can he win the support of many nobles? I'm afraid that if he goes south, Jiangdong will fall into another turmoil!

Therefore, although the original intention of Shangshu Ling to restrict the monarch's power is to care about the common people in the world, the method needs to be discussed. Does Shangshu Ling think so?"

"This" Xi Jian answered neither, nor did he answer. He had seen Yunfeng's rhetoric once when he was competing for the Haimen Navy Commander. Now that he tasted it in person, it had a different taste. It really was impossible to argue with it!

Xi Jian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what King Qin thinks. Why don't you tell me?"

Yunfeng's face became solemn and he said solemnly: "Absolute power will only produce absolute corruption. Whether it is for the emperor or for the powerful ministers, this is an eternal truth! Its consequences will not only make

The country is in chaos, and it will bring disaster to future generations. There is no need to elaborate on this point. In history, how many descendants of those who have been kings and emperors, or even monopolized the direction of the government, can continue to this day?

Therefore, Gu's idea is that after the world is unified, a consultation mechanism will be initially established for a period of five years, called the Senate, composed of fifteen people, with five members each from the southern gentry, the northern nobles, and the common people, each with a term of office

Five years, and can be re-elected for up to two terms. During the term, members of the royal family are not allowed to serve in the Senate.

The various functions of the court are only executive agencies and must be jointly responsible to the Senate and the emperor. Any important decree, such as increasing or reducing taxes, launching foreign wars, providing disaster relief, rewarding court officials or members of the Senate for crimes, etc.

Etc., etc., must be jointly approved by the emperor and the Senate. When the world is unified in the future, the Guhui will subdivide the names with the Senate and the court officials.

Specifically, the emperor holds 40% of the voting rights, and the remaining 60% is divided equally among 15 people, with each person accounting for 4% of the voting rights. Each resolution must be approved by more than 65% of the voting rights before it can take effect, and it is a matter of major national policy.

Adjustment requires a two-thirds majority! In other words, Hou Gu does not always stick to his word. If the order issued is unreasonable, the Senate can not approve Gu's decision."

"This, this" Xi Jian was speechless for a while and was speechless for a long time. King Qin's proposal to establish a Senate was unprecedented in ancient times. It really overturned everyone's understanding in the world!
