I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 839

When the neutrino rushed into the palace, the dust had settled.

Emperor B is out of breath.

He was at the last moment of his life. The attack of the high priest of Dongyi became the last straw to overwhelm the camel.

However, Emperor B did not die suddenly. He saw the body of the high priest, learned the whole process from Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu, and then set the prince under the witness of Bigan and Shang Rong.

It was handed down to Yin Shoude, king of longevity.

As an emperor, personal emotional bias is on the one hand, more importantly, the overall situation.

Originally, he intended Weiziqi, also because the king of longevity was in a coma for seven years and ignored the government. It was entirely because of his legitimate son's etiquette and law, which was not beneficial to the country.

Now I know that the Dongyi people want to kill the fish and break the net, just to prevent the future destroyed by the big business in divination from happening. When I see the way of strategists, I naturally have no more words. It is said to be located in the king of longevity.

The whole process was almost to the extreme, but it was in line with etiquette and law and logical under the witness of civil and military officials.

"No! No!"

Therefore, the micro Ziqi who confirmed the news only felt a bolt from the blue and collapsed under the steps, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time.

And then came to the weiziyan also changed his face, but he tried to calm down and enter the palace to curry favor with the new king.

Even if you grovel, you should at least get a rich fief to ensure the luxury of the second half of your life.

Gu Chenggen didn't bother to pay attention to them.

From the beginning to the end, these two were not considered. His eyes had already fallen on the four directions and the 800 princes.

Emperor B is not a particularly outstanding emperor, but he is also in line with the rules. Even he knows that the princes are powerful and threaten big businessmen. It can be seen that the situation is very tense and can be called hair trigger.

Without centralization, the power of the imperial dynasty is actually very limited. Although the big business is called the Lord of the world, in fact, it is the largest and strongest princes. The subsequent 800 princes appear to be obedient, but in fact they are eyeing and coveting the nine tripods.

Therefore, in addition to the capital city directly controlled by big businessmen and the land thousands of miles nearby, there are few substantive benefits in the territory of other princes, but there are all kinds of obstacles and intrigues.

Gu Cheng wants to integrate the power of the human world. The first thing is to weaken the power of the princes, especially the four princes.

Of course, world events always have to be famous.

There was no contact at ordinary times. Fortunately, when the new emperor ascended the throne, 800 princes had to face the saint, and the four princes also came to the capital.

Here comes the chance.

……

……

Emperor B dragon controls bin Tian, and the future affairs are handled. Coupled with the accession of the new emperor, the preparation process is a whole month.

When all the princes heard that emperor B had died, it was the longevity king who had been sleeping for seven years who succeeded him. They shook one after another, but they did not dare to neglect it. For a time, long teams of slaves could be seen everywhere, guarding the luxurious carriage in the center and heading for the foam city.

Eight hundred princes!

Perhaps not every vassal has strong strength. Some vassal's sphere of influence is limited to one county and village, but this kind of event must be present and must show the prestige of birth.

So the number and quality of slaves became the key.

Gu Chengli, standing on the wall of the palace city, seems to enjoy the scenery, but actually overlooks the vast land, with a panoramic view of the long motorcade of all parties.

Here comes a question: in this era, do slaves count as soldiers?

The answer is, no, but it's actually hard to distinguish.

The formal military component of the Shang Dynasty was that soldiers were civilians, not slaves, but the troops were collected temporarily, which was inevitably mixed. Therefore, in case of a real war, effective slaves would certainly take up arms and be relatively strong. Slaves who had training on weekdays were called war slaves.

However, slaves are the private property of the upper class nobles. The military strength of the princes is limited, but the number of slaves is unlimited. As long as you can afford it, for the nobles, efforts are the key to ensuring power, but for the imperial power, it is a disaster.

Therefore, in the original fate track, King Zhou wanted to liberate slaves, not benevolence, but just to rule.

This is very similar to Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Everything he does is conducive to the country. Unfortunately, he has taken a big step.

There is no absolute standard for the progress of any system, but it should be combined with a certain historical environment.

In the era when the aristocratic hereditary system has not declined and the academic decline has not yet occurred, rashly excluding the aristocracy and liberating slaves is not progress, but disaster.

If it touches the interests of the lower class, it can send troops to suppress it and touch the interests of the upper class, it will be overthrown.

So we should do it step by step.

"Your Highness, the construction of Chaoyang military house has been completed, and all ethnic groups send their children under the age of 10 to study."

At this time, the sound of footsteps in the back sounded, and Wen Zhong came forward to report, with a happy look in his eyebrows.

The so-called military house is actually the Military Academy of later generations, built on the Chaoyang mountain of Chaoge.

In history, there were military academies in the Shang Dynasty, in which the children of nobles were sent to study in the fields of shooting, imperial, dance (fighting), etc., that is, the crude version of the six arts of Confucianism in later generations combined with troop arrangement, so as to command the army and suppress slave resistance.

Now Gu inherited the way of military strategists, so it is natural to select people to learn.

In the Great Han Dynasty, after he created the twelve volumes of Tianshu, he immediately spread all over the world. Everyone can learn and popularize the wisdom of the people. However, in today's big business, he strictly controlled the first batch of learners among the noble children in the foam city.

The executors are Wen Zhong and Bigan.

Gu Cheng even doesn't trust Huang Feihu and Shang Rong and excludes them.

Not questioning loyalty, but limited by the influence of the family.

In contrast, Wen Zhong is alone and has no wife and children. Bigan is a member of the royal family, so he can entrust important tasks.

"Very good!"

Gu Cheng nodded, took out the second volume of Confucian Tao from his arms and handed it to him.

In the troubled times of Wuping, wending and Tianshu, even the late Mohist school is not valued as much as the Confucianism and Taoism of governing the country and unifying the world.

Gu Cheng's first choice of military strategists is to know that in the last years of the dynasty, the most important force, there is no military power in hand, and everything else is vain. The revival of the Confucian way is to stabilize the country and make the great Shang Dynasty centralized and worthy of the name.

Wen Zhong accepted the book of Confucianism and understood: "ministers should not only teach the way of war, but also teach them to be loyal and do their best for the country and the people!"

Education should start with dolls.

So is brainwashing.

These children now, the future aristocrats, are the foundation of the system change. As for their parents and grandparents, if they eat the past, they will naturally be eliminated.

Gu Cheng nodded and suddenly asked, "is Hou Jichang of Xibo here?"

Wen Zhong replied, "ten days ago, he was the fastest of the four princes."

The quickest comes not necessarily loyalty, but also ambition and temptation.

When Emperor B entrusted him, he talked about the harm of the four princes. Wen Zhong was the first to echo. It was precisely because he also saw that the relationship between the four princes and the big business was one of ebb and flow, and could not really coexist peacefully. On the surface, this accession ceremony was to celebrate the new emperor's succession, but it was actually a test.

If the big business is strong, the princes are dormant. If the big business is weak, Xia Jie, who used to be a soup, can be staged again today.

Gu Cheng raised his lips slightly and cared about the next generation: "have Ji Chang's sons ever followed?"

Wen Zhong said, "I only took my eldest son Boyi test."

"Chaoyang mountain is open to him."

"Yes."
