From Chief to Ball

Su Yue thought, it's not that Ji Xia doesn't bully the weak, but that he can get what he wants without being bullied, so why use the most stupid way?Besides, when the wind city was in chaos, Xia Cheng was the first one to jump out and intervene armedly, and he was more active than himself. This was just a perfect excuse to put the bullying on the weak and uphold justice and rules...

Furthermore, even if the expedition to Dongyi to rescue the relatives was a righteous act, what about the relatives rescued now?All of them have become members of the Xia Kingdom. Even this time, Feng Zhuo handed over the power of discussion in Fengcheng to Ji Xia on the grounds of illness. I'm afraid that this will happen to all cities in the future!

Thinking of this, Su Yue let out a long sigh without everyone noticing.

Chen Jian promised a few months ago that he would not promote Xiacheng's system and will to the outside world, easing the deepest conflict between the two sides. He just promised to help the other cities develop iron mines in three years, and immediately came up with a way to block Xiacheng The shortest version of the long-range weapon in the city, how many cities will choose to turn against Chen Jian at this time?

Thinking of the proposals made by the priests before, Suyue finally made up his mind, knowing that this might be the last chance to unite the vast majority against Xia, and if he missed it, there would be no chance to make the leaders of most cities resolute. Against Chen Jian.

While Chen Jian was distributing gifts and getting close to the leaders, Su Yue came to Chen Jianjian with a smile and said with a smile: "The gifts Jixia brought this time are so blinding to our eyes that we even forgot this time." It's a major event of the alliance. By the way, you can no longer call Ji Xia the leader, but you have to call Ji Xia the king. I don't know what the king means?"

Not long ago, Chen Jian had just assumed the title of king, but the title of king didn't exist before, so it didn't have so much political meaning.

Wang can't call it indiscriminately because the name Wang has meaning, but at this time, in the eyes of many people, it is the same as steamed buns, dumplings, sadness, depression, etc. Anyway, the names of many things are given by Xiacheng people. The real and the imaginary.

Su Yue didn't even bother to ask at first, but after hearing the stories of those who came back from Xia City, the priest of the city told Su Yue that the word "king" might not necessarily mean that man stands between heaven and earth.This word is like a tiger in the mountains, and its meaning is self-evident.

Furthermore, during the few days in Xiacheng, Chen Jian killed many people, and he killed them without mercy.

The priest asked Su Yue, Ji Xia was so easy to kill even the same clan of the old Xiacheng people, why didn't he talk about the unity of kinship at that time?He was saying that if he could kill his own relatives so resolutely, what would happen to other clans?

He is the king of the Xia Kingdom, so he killed all those who hindered him from being king; if he becomes the leader of the tribes in the future, according to Xia Guo, he will be the king of the tribes, wouldn't he be the king of the tribes? Have all the people in the ministry who hindered him from claiming the king been killed?

Originally, the priest warned Su Yue not to ask about such things, just keep in mind and be on guard all the time.But Su Yue still couldn't help asking at this time.

Chen Jian was not afraid when he heard this question, he said in his heart that there would be no problem if I called myself the Emperor God at this time, not that I have the qualifications, but that the word is as meaningless as shit gold at this time .This lofty word is not as good as claiming to be the head of the alliance, which sounds very grassroots, and it can make all the cities object and hate him. Even if he calls himself the emperor now, at most the next time they meet, everyone will ask him why. Just changed the name.

He didn't even stop to answer this question, but casually distributed gifts to the other leaders, and said casually: "That's a title, so why do you say that iron is called iron? The leader is a city... ..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and sighed: "Speaking of leaders, we have lost one more leader this time. I was so happy to meet you all that I forgot about this matter." It's really my fault."

Everyone knew what he was talking about, and those who were older inevitably felt sad when the rabbit died, and they all sighed.

Chen Jian said again: "Now his body is still in the coffin, waiting for the people to send envoys to express their condolences. Now that city has no leader, and he went in such a hurry that he did not choose a successor. According to the oath we made, it is It needs to be witnessed by all ministries."

"Many brothers may have the legacy of their fathers, and it is not known who can lead the city of that kinship. This is not a trivial matter... If the leader we agree with cannot lead the city to live better, then we have violated the law. Do all the tribes of the Great River share common interests?"

"I don't know what leader Suyue thinks?"

Chapter 1 Turning All Objections into Partial Objections

This kind of inquiry was unprecedented, and it was Chiguoguo's intervention in other cities.

This kind of inquiry naturally aroused the anxiety of the leaders of various cities.But this uneasiness did not come from the anger caused by this interference, but because that city was involved in the dispute between Sucheng and Xia.

The two eldest sons are related by blood to Su Yue, but Chen Jian is the husband Ling needs to be respected by his father in name.

Originally, the reason why everyone came here this time was to select the high priests of Chen Jianwei's ministries as a formality, no matter their reputation or strength was enough.

However, before the high priest was elected, Chen Jian first asked the leaders of the other cities about the succession. Obviously, the conflict between the high priest and the leaders of the various tribes had to be clarified.

The leaders looked at the ugly but miraculous copper musket in their hands, thinking about the temptation Chen Jian promised to teach iron smelting to every city in three years, they felt even more uneasy, and looked at Su Yue involuntarily.

Su Yue didn't show any anger or anything like that on his face, and asked with a smile: "What does Jixia mean by asking that? This is a matter of that city, can we decide it? Even if I am the leader of the alliance , but it can't decide who the leader of a city should be. Jixia is wrong to say that."

This is something Su Yue has always wanted to do but couldn't do. At this time, he poured dirty water on Chen Jianjian, but he didn't say too much.

However, Chen Jian sighed and said, "That's not the case. I have no choice to interfere with the rest of the cities. It's just that the ministries have been in chaos for more than [-] years since the Huasu alliance. There were internal strife in the cities, fighting each other, or separating and building separate cities."

"Since the Wind City Rebellion, all the tribes have agreed that the interests of the Dahe tribes are paramount, and they all hope that the leader will not shed blood during the succession, so that brothers will fight against each other."

"Before this, three leaders passed away, but before they passed away, they all proposed candidates for the next leader. Everyone also respected the original covenant of the Dahe tribes. No one dared to kill brothers because of this."

"However, the old leader of this city did not propose who the next leader is. This is the first time our Dahe tribes have faced this situation. If we don't do well, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future, and other cities will follow suit. Learning, it shouldn't be."

"It's like farming. If you plant well the first time, everyone will learn from him. But if you don't plant well, some people will inevitably question the matter of farming itself."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, observed Chen Jian and Su Yue, and thought that Ji Xia would soon be elected as the high priest. Could it be that they wanted to use this matter to perfect the original secret covenant?

The succession of power after the chieftain of the city gets old or dies in battle is indeed very chaotic, and the power succession system is strange and weird at this time.Some cities are elected, there are also family inheritance, and there are all kinds of theocratic priests seizing power.Everyone hopes that the city will not suffer civil strife after their death, and they also hope that the rights can be passed on in the form of family blood.

This requires a stable and mature system to form a norm, which may not be the best but the most stable, and everyone will spontaneously maintain this system of rules and regulations for the sake of their own city and blood inheritance, and they can even put it aside. Temporary differences.

It's like taking the original secret covenant a step further and stipulating who can inherit it.If someone violates this rule, then everyone must oppose it, because opposing others is to protect oneself, even if the attitude of hostility is hostile to the hostile city, at this time they should unite for this rule.

However, what is lacking at this time is precisely such a rule, a mature rule.

The bloodline inheritance is not yet stable, let alone the eldest son or the rule accepted by everyone and taken for granted.

This is why everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They all heard that Xia Guo had clearly stipulated a method for the eldest son to inherit some special things, and they all thought that Chen Jian would implement this method to the succession of the leaders of various cities.And the eldest son of the former leader of that city is not Ling. It seems that Chen Jian is going to give up the dispute for the stability of the Dahe tribes. There are precedents, so naturally there are fantasies. Everyone, including Su Yue, listened to Chen Jian's words. explain.

It's just that the eldest son system has never always existed and was naturally accepted by people, especially under the relationship between men and women in the era, it is not sure whether the first child is his own, but the younger son is more likely to be his own.

If you want this system to be implemented, you must have a complete set of systems, which is also reflected in some etiquette systems, such as the marriage between men and women in the complete system of the previous life and the eldest son system. Only after three months can a woman be considered a real adult. My family members can leave the house and send them back at any time within three months, and they can’t go there within three months-the etiquette didn’t appear for no reason, and it’s not just that it’s so weird for no reason, it’s just that it doesn’t matter at that time, but Children are important.If you don't have it within three months, if your stomach is swollen, it must not be your own species, but if you have done it within three months, you can't tell.

This is by no means a matter of how to inherit the right and proper way, and it needs complete support to ensure that the loopholes are repaired.

The problem now is that a unified way of thinking has not yet been formed.The relationship between family, clan, father and son is in chaos.The habit of some clans is to regard the family as the inheritor of their own blood, while others regard their parents, children and spouse as the inheritor of the blood, and even some clan women still have an inflated status.

And the family inheritance is even more chaotic, about half of them are brothers and sisters, because the age difference between brothers is not big, and they are more mature than sons and have more rights. The younger brother always has the advantage over the younger son.

A perfect inheritance rule needs to be maintained by all the cities, but it needs to be determined by the high priest and given a reasonable explanation and supporting behavioral constraints.It has always been the case that the implementation is guaranteed by force and convinced by words.

So they put all kinds of expectations and hopes on Chen Jianjian, hoping that after Chen Jian became the high priest, he would propose a perfect system to ensure that the history of the ethnic group becomes a family tree.Without Xia Guo's military support, this system would be difficult to implement, and without Chen Jian's perfect compilation of this theory, it would be even more impossible.

From the big discussion in the alliance at the beginning, with the emergence of Xia Guo characters, regulations, historical books, etc., the leaders have acquiesced that Chen Jian is responsible for the drummer of public opinion propaganda such as blood lineage theory. It is true that no one else can do it. Taking on this important task, no one is confident that they can persuade Chen Jian with words, and they may not be able to fight with force.

As long as Chen Jian doesn't spread Xia Yu's weird system to other cities like a disease, everyone is still willing to wait until Su Yue dies to elect Chen Jian as the leader.The premise is that it needs to be in line with everyone’s interests—you only need to concoct a perfect system in which the rights of nobles are granted by heaven and will last forever, not to mention letting you be the leader, even if we push Suyue down and let you come up now. OK.

Looking at it now, there is this trend, because Chen Jian directly asked which son should be appointed as the successor, even though in fact the rest of the people are not likely to be selected, but he has never said something similar to the death of the father before, so it can be counted. Stone-breaking:

The former father-son succession is still nominally the mode of selecting sages by knowledge and fighting skills, but because of the monopoly of knowledge blood inheritance, others have no chance to stand out.And if the son is allowed to inherit without any reason, and the sanctity of the inheritance of rights is changed from the natural inheritance of knowledge in the clan era to the natural inheritance of blood, the people of all countries may directly ask: Why?

The offspring can succeed because they have done well, even if there is a shortcut, but they can be hidden, so people will not object to the reason of doing well in name; All nations will oppose it.

Habits or ways of thinking left over from the clan era affect all ethnic groups and clans.

The ability is sacred, and the bloodline is not sacred for the time being, but because of the monopoly of knowledge, it seems that the bloodline is equal to the ability, but the root is still not the sacredness of the bloodline.At least in this era, there is no ruler who has combined ability equals blood into one in a sophistical way and has become a matter of course that everyone can accept.

The facts are the same, the result is the same, and whether the different opinions are accepted or not makes a big difference. Whoever makes the people of the country are soldiers, so it is inevitable to have political power.

If Chen Jian came up with an orderly system of rules and regulations at this time, learn from Emperor Dao Paradise Puppet Manchukuo use "Disciple Regulations" as a textbook, learn from Dazai Qianyuan's compilation of "24 Filial Piety", and then learn from Great Christ People don't resist being a good human being, forbidden desire, born with original sin and asking for redemption, and then learn how to divide cakes in the Great Desert, kill too many people, and if there are too many people, believe in the rest, and then mass-produce heretics from within to kill a batch of legal robbers, that's terrible He will really be called a saint by the leaders.

A progressive person who cannot be sanctified while alive will only be like a stray dog. He can only be sanctified if he is spiritually castrated after death, but as long as he gets all the dross, he can become sanctified while alive. It's very simple.

This is why everyone was not angry because of Chen Jian's fruitful proposal to interfere in the city's internal affairs. Regardless of whether the eldest son or the younger son came, it was the death of the father and the succession of the son. Reasonable and reasonable, the meat rots in the pot.

This fight is not about the rules, but the power struggle within the unspoken rules of the framework. As a relative and leader, you must first maintain this rule, and then the power struggle within the rules, because if the rules are destroyed, everyone will be finished.
