From Chief to Ball

I originally wanted to use this opportunity to increase the power of the leaders of the various tribes, so that all the clans would accept this kind of unified order, and then use means to snatch the position of the leaders of the alliance into their own hands.

Now Xia Guo does not have this strength. During the period of accumulating strength, the various ministries will be familiar with and agree with the centralization in advance. When the time comes, the person who controls the centralization will be changed from Suyue to himself.

However, with the emergence of the issue of the inheritance rights of the city this time, Chen Jian realized that what he had to solve was not only Su Yue, but also a war with the previous rights system of the entire ethnic group.

Everything in this world is changing, and I imagined a perfect situation, but I didn't consider whether this perfect situation would change before.

Because what he considered most before was the system itself, rather than how to implement the system—he first thought about how to cook a sheep, but he ignored how to catch the sheep.

And now, he drove the sheep to a cliff surrounded by cliffs where he could be crushed, and he would pull anyone who tried to climb it down until he was strong enough to climb to the top to catch the sheep.

Chapter 1 Seventeen Announcing Ambition

Of course, it was impossible for Su Yue to climb up the altar and hold the piece of jade that symbolized the high priest. He knew that once he climbed up, he would be torn off by Chen Jian.

Since no one can hold the illusory things like heaven, earth, ghosts and gods in their hands, they can only be solved by realistic force.

Chen Jian destroyed the position of the high priest, and there was another incident that deeply disturbed Su Yue.

Chen Jian said that what he was guided by his ancestors was only related to the world of the living, and he told everyone that he was the undisputed king of the Xia Kingdom, which was more convincing than being the high priest.

Then it also means that when the seat of the chief of the ministries becomes vacant one day, even if the seat of the high priest is still vacant, the person who is most qualified to be the chief of the ministries can only be Chen Jian.

Fundamentally speaking, the Dahe Zhubu that Chen Jian wants is different from the Dahe Zhubu that Su Yue wants.

The former is a system of prefectures and counties to ensure the basic market, enfeoffment of the surrounding wild land into small pieces, the central government dispatched bureaucrats to supervise or help manage the closure of the country, and armed colonization along the river to develop and use the advantages of cultural and technological assimilation. Given the current population and traffic conditions, it cannot be effective. Manage land thousands of miles away.

The latter is a loose tribal alliance that is truly regarded as the real leader by each city, has the ability to control, allegiance, and tribute, and is more like a federation.

However, Suyue, including the leaders of other cities, has never seen that kind of country with a unified bureaucracy, limited by the limitations of the times, so the only worry about Chen Jian is that his rights may be affected by those under the cultural education. The rising nobles and even the lower class challenged it, which was the reason for their hatred and intolerance.

In fact, they have more reasons to hate Chen Jian, because Chen Jian not only wants to use paper and printing to break the blood aristocratic inheritance that has just begun to appear, but also wants to concentrate power in one center - the former is only in the fish pond Putting in other fish, the latter is to dig the fish pond to level the ground, turn the fish into crops, and crush the ones that don't want to be changed into fertilizer.

Su Yue and the priests he summoned originally wanted to take advantage of this alliance and the opportunity of electing Chen Jian as the high priest to let Chen Jian tell the truth that they would crush their dreams, but Chen Jian took this step back. It was so big that when these people wanted to shake their fists, they couldn't see the figure.

Amidst the frowning, uneasy or anxious discussions among the crowd, Chen Jian once again said something that would kill him.

"I can't be the high priest because I can't do well, but if one day the leader of Awayake is gone, and everyone elects me as the leader of the tribes, even if it is more important than the high priest, I will not refuse."

"This is different from being a high priest, because I can do it well. And if I don't have the ability to do it well, it is against the original intention of my ancestors to take on such an important responsibility."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene suddenly got a little out of control.Those city chiefs who had good relations with Suyue or were relatives or vassals looked at Chen Jian in disbelief, as if they heard some terrible disaster coming.

The leaders of the tribes are more sensitive than the high priest, but the high priest has already been elected, but the leaders of the tribes are just Chen Jian saying that he has the ability to do it, but no one has chosen him.It can be said to be an explanation of the reasons for not being the high priest, or it can be said that this is an expression of ambition.

The leaders of other cities thought about these words, and felt that there seemed to be no problem. As long as the current situation did not change, it would not be the same to respect who was the leader of the alliance. Besides, Xia Guo is now a technology center, and there is a steady stream of various metals. Tools and technology spread to the surrounding cities, except for some technologies that are nominally "not enough skilled workers to teach", and there is no reservation, as long as there are enough things, they can be exchanged for anything they want to exchange.

In terms of strength, if the current pattern of cities with hundreds of countries and thousands of states is not changed, it is the best choice to elect Chen Jian as the leader: Su Yue has nothing to compromise except for force, but Xia Guo can The oath compromised more things, such as the spread of books and texts among the entire ethnic group.

The former is nothing more than picking up grass leaves, while the latter is uprooting.

Some people are even thinking about finding an opportunity to assassinate Hongyu. They think that Chen Jian's current situation is only because he has no children. Obviously, the woman named Hongyu should not be able to have children. As long as she has children, she will naturally understand her rights. The taste of inheritance, when the time comes, everything will be a matter of course.

Su Yue clenched his fists secretly, trying to keep a smile on his face, but he was extremely angry in his heart.At the beginning, this relative who came from the northwest and had no evidence other than myths and rumors, can now say loudly in front of so many people that he wants to be the leader of the various tribes.

No matter what happened before, Chen Jian had never uttered these words so ruthlessly, but this time, taking advantage of the fact that everyone had just elected him as the high priest, these words made Su Yue irrefutable.

Suyue lacks a complete system to support his dreams about the future of the ethnic group, and the root of all this is that when the Huimeng was elected as the leader of the alliance, Sucheng's strength was not as high as that of the Huasu League back then. .

For the position of the head of the various ministries, and because of his own lack of strength, he sold too many things at the beginning, and the biggest loophole is that the heads of the various ministries are elected by the leaders rather than hereditary. The problems left by him in his eagerness to become the leader of the alliance suffered a lot.From Su Yue's point of view, as long as Su Cheng's advantage continues, the next leader of the tribes will definitely be the leader of Su Cheng, that is, his own son.

According to the situation at the time, this was the best choice. It could not only pass the addiction of commanding the ministries before death, but also maintain Sucheng's strength, so that future generations of children and grandchildren can complete what they have not completed.But the appearance of Xiacheng has changed too many things, especially the emergence of a force that can compete with Sucheng and its surrounding vassal cities, and the rise of this force is too sudden and it is within the ethnic group system, isn't it? Yidi, there are relatives in the ethnic group system who have the jade of relatives and have been certified and approved by all clans.

After Chen Jian finished speaking, he didn't avoid everyone's gaze, stood upright, with a smile on his face, looking at Su Yue innocently, as if he wanted to wait for Su Yue's answer.

Since he decided to destroy the divine right, he never thought of fighting the divine right and the secular right to get the position of the leaders of the various ministries.Now Su Yue didn't dare to make a move, even if this was Su City, once he made a move, his position as the leader of the alliance would be unstable.

In the whole ethnic group, Chen Jian first shouted out the unity of relatives, and he shouted loudest.However, Chen Jian knew very well that he still had to fight in the end, but it was a question of who would start the fight first.Therefore, before he determined that he did not have enough strength to implement the set of rules and regulations, he gave up the position of the high priest, but he desperately needed a reason to force others to do it.

Since that city, Chen Jian has been stirring up trouble, and now he has finally brought up the conflict between Xia Su and forced Su Yue to expand his army and prepare for war, and forced Su Yue to go to war with Xia Guo before his death. He even wanted to force Su Yue and the Dongyi tribes to unite together.

This is like telling Au Yue: Come and hit me!Hurry up and fight me with Yi Di, because Xia Guo is very strong, and because I made it clear that I just want to take your seat.If you don't hit me, your son won't be able to play with me once you die.

This is to tell those cities, don't imagine that the Su Xia system will coexist peacefully, and get ready to decide who to support. You can't fight now, but you will definitely fight in the future.Those who should move away should move away, and those who should stand in line should stand in line.

Su Yue's cheeks twitched, and he said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with what Ji Xia said. Speaking of the prosperity of Xia, defeating Xi Rong and Dong Yi is indeed a great achievement."

"I just don't know how Jixia will treat the tribes if she becomes the leader of the tribes?"

"In terms of fighting, Xia's army is brave and skilled in formation. This is Jixia's credit; when it comes to making the clansmen live in peace, it is also the envy of Xia's wealth and prosperity."

"These are all things that everyone can see, but I don't agree that Jixia can become the leader of all ministries."

The nearby leaders were taken aback, and they could hear the implication that the sword was on the verge of breaking out. The uneasiness in their hearts was more serious than when they heard Chen Jian say that he could become the leader of the various alliances.

Chen Jian is indeed qualified to be the leader of the various ministries, so there is no problem in talking about it, but if someone objects, especially if the current leader thinks that he is not qualified at all, there will be a big problem!

After Chen Jian saluted, he asked in the posture of asking for advice: "I don't know what the leader of Suyue means?"

Su Yue said with a smile: "I don't think that Ji Xia can't lead the tribes to live in peace and prosperity after becoming the leader of the tribes, nor do I think Jixia can't lead the tribe to defeat the Yi and Di, but I want to be the leader of the tribes, these alone are not enough of."

"Last year Yuxia rebelled, and Jixia returned to Xiacheng to put down the rebellion. Everyone supported it, and I supported it too. But after Jixia returned, she killed hundreds of people. These are all her relatives."

"Ji Xia has established many strict laws and regulations. If he is dissatisfied, he will be beheaded and executed. Of course, Ji Xia can defeat the Eastern Yi and Western Rong, but if Ji Xia becomes the leader of the alliance, I am afraid that Ji Xia will Spears and bronze swords will also reach out to relatives."

"If Jixia becomes the leader of the alliance, what if there are city leaders who violate the rules? Can't you see what it will be like after you become the leader of the alliance when you govern a city?"

"So Ji Xia can formulate rules and perfect laws, but I don't agree with Ji Xia who implements them. Ji Xia's methods are too cruel, and I'm afraid it will be the same with the outside world as well as the inside. So I will recommend Ji Xia to be the high priest. , but I will never elect Jixia to be the leader of the alliance. This is not because I am greedy for the position of the leader of the alliance. Heavy tasks are not suitable for Jixia."

"Furthermore, even though Zhongren Xia Cheng rebelled, he did not oppose Ji Xia, but only took some people as slaves. But Ji Xia did not kill those slaves, but instead killed those relatives, many of whom had the surname Ji. Ji Xia, the King Xia, is he the King Xia of the slaves? Or the King Xia of the relatives?"

"Could it be that letting those talking animals become humans is also the guidance of our ancestors? If so, I'm afraid Ji Xia was deceived by those bad souls."

For the first time, Chen Jian didn't follow Su Yue's words, but looked directly at Su Yue and said, "Chief Su Yue, when we made the oath, we said that everything is based on the interests of the tribes of Dahe."

"I killed those people not because they opposed me or anything else, but because they wanted to flee north to the grassland tribes. They took away stirrups, bronze, and iron smelting methods. If the grassland tribes knew , there are many horses and fertile water plants, how many relatives will die in a few years?"

"If they go to the grassland, speak the language of the tribes of the grassland, and worship the ancestors of the tribes of the grassland, how can they be regarded as relatives? If I kill them, does the leader of Suyue think this is cruel?"

Su Yue sneered and said, "Well, the interests of the tribes of Dahe are the highest. I'm afraid that after Jixia becomes the leader of the alliance of the tribes, he will use the reason that the tribes of Dahe have the highest interests to punish and kill the people you hate?"

Chen Jian shook his head and said: "Is it against the interests of the tribes of Dahe? There are rules to follow. Just like a sheep is white, has hair, horns on the head, split hooves, and bleats. Can I just point to a wolf and call it a sheep?"

"Since there are rules to follow, whether it violates the interests of the tribes of Dahe does not need the leader to judge. It only needs a person who is familiar with the rules and regulations. Even someone who is not as talented as the leader can judge."

"And this is exactly the rule we should set, and it is exactly what we will do this time. This should be what the high priest needs to do, but I think I can't be a good high priest, so I dare not Assuming this important task, the leaders can discuss together."

"If someone violates it, it's not just me, the leader Suyue should punish those who violate it. Does the leader Suyue think it's wrong to do so?"
