Chapter 171 Closeness

Zhou Xing's current condition is much better than yesterday. The blisters on his body have completely disappeared and his eyes can see. However, his voice is still a little hoarse when he speaks.

Hearing Wang Tianci’s question, he nodded, “I don’t have any other thoughts, I just feel so bad that I’m holding back the bad breath in my heart.”

Wang Tianci stood a little angry He stood up, which was a very rare move for him, and asked, "How can a good man put himself in such a dangerous situation just for the sake of his confidante?" Zhou Xing, with your ability, you can definitely do this. More, I can definitely do better."

"I'm sorry, I don't have that many ideas, I just want to live my personal life." Zhou Xing has been a human being and belongs to this world. The feeling is still not that strong, "I just want to avenge Han Yan now."

"If it was not Shen Xiu who killed Han Yan, but another talent who was beneficial to the world, you would also kill her Him?"

Zhou Xing paused, then nodded firmly, "I will."

"I thought I was wrong," Wang Tianci said angrily. It turns out that you are also an extremely selfish person."

"Who is not selfish in this world?" Zhou Xing said calmly without getting angry, "You, Wang Tianci, are not selfish."

"If it is beneficial to the court and the world, why don't I regret this life?"

"Oh, then since you can't stand Shen Xiu causing trouble in the government, why don't you kill him?" week .

"Are you trying to say that my own life is of no importance, but there are thousands of people in the Wang family, so you can't be impulsive and implicate them." Zhou Xing told him what he was thinking. , "Tell me, are you selfish?"

"But Shen Xiu's messing up like this will really lead Dajin to a point of no return. This will affect everyone's lives. Are you just Are you indifferent to this?"

"Oh, will the world really be messed up by Shen Xiu?" As a person from another world, he actually does not agree with the nine-level Zhongzheng system in his heart, but agrees more with Shen Xiu point of view.

"There will definitely be chaos. I can even guess what Shen Xiu will do next." Wang Tianci said with certainty, "The next step is to let the emperor surrender to King Zhao and Shen Xiu to become the prime minister. Comprehensively reform the nine-level Zhongzheng system."

"Will this cause chaos in the world?" Zhou Xingxin said, "Wouldn't this be great?"

"Look at Zhang Bu and others promoted by Shen Xiu," Wang Tianci couldn't help but paused when he mentioned the name, and suddenly raised Zhou's voice deliberately to make it clearer to the outside world, "Once they gain power, He behaved randomly without any rules in his eyes, just following his own temper and Shen Xiu's wishes. If people like this were to be officials in the future, the world would not be in chaos."

"What has Zhang Bu done these days to make you so angry?This kind of situation. "Zhou Xing couldn't help but wonder.

"That's it. "Wang Tianci seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, and he talked to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing sat there quietly and listened to Wang Tianci, talking about the court system and the Nine In the previous world, he was just an ordinary urban otaku. The education he received since he was a child and the books he read all criticized the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System for being extremely perverse and terrible. He has been taught that the imperial examination system is the best since he was a child.

But after listening to Wang Tianci's remarks about the ninth grade Zhongzheng system, he was surprised to find that it was not unreasonable. As a traveler in the future world, even if he feels that what the other party says is reasonable, he still firmly believes that the system of the world he came from is the direction, the correct one, and the scientific one.

"God sent me to ask you, why do you need to have a family background like this? Meat-eaters are despicable and cannot make a living. I heard that Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty insisted on meritocracy. Isn't this great? The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System insisted on family background and ranked it first. This is a naked monopoly of the Zhou family. This is the biggest disadvantage. fair. It is precisely because of this unfairness that Shen Xiu and others think about reform. Why can't people from a Zhou family be of low rank, while those from a poor family can only be relegated to the lower class? Wouldn’t those of you who are from the Zhou family notice this?”

“No one’s family status is established overnight, and no one’s family can become a Zhou family overnight. "Wang Tianci did not pause in the face of Zhou Xing's doubts, and said eloquently, "Did our Jinyang Wang family count themselves as a Zhou sect in the pre-Shang Dynasty? Were they a noble family? In the post-Shang Dynasty, they were not a Zhou sect or a founding noble. after. When people live in this world and in this society, they are not alone. They do not pop out of rocks. They all have interests. If he were really a person, like Zhang Bu, one of the three heroes of Hongdu. He had no qualms about dying. He had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. Even if he committed a heinous crime, it would only cost him his life. If he kills one person and loses his own life, then if he kills ten people and kills a hundred people, he will only lose his own life. If you do something evil once, you will be sentenced to be cut in half. Even if he does evil ten times, he will be sentenced to halving. Doesn't this encourage him to do more evil and do more evil? Anyway, there is nothing to compensate for, and the rest is earned. ”

“Zhou Xing, look at me again. I also want to join you in assassinating Shen Xiu regardless of the situation, and I am also willing to sacrifice my own life. But why can't I do this? Because I have a family, because I have parents, brothers and sisters. There are thousands of people in our Wang family in Jinyang. I need to take all of this into consideration. I can't do it because of my personal impulses or personal reasons. Willing to send thousands of family members who have lived together since childhood to the butcher's knife. ”

Wang Tianci talked endlessly about these, because he actually had no idea why he had been a child since he was a child. All these were words that his great-grandfather Wang Rong used to explain to him every day.

Zhou Xing opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say that the continuous sitting system has no humanity and should be abolished, but after all, he is not that kind of person. He only pursues people who have verbally argued with each other. He knows that this is the case in this era. He can only swallow his words. He is an ordinary otaku, and he suddenly found that he had received a good systematic education since childhood. When someone debates the system, he is no match for him. He also wants to talk about the separation of powers, democratic elections, parliamentarians, and congress, but these things suddenly appear for no reason, and others carefully investigate them. Now, it would be a big mistake if he couldn't tell the truth.

Thinking like this, as a time traveler, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"I'm dignified. People who have traveled through time in the era of great development of science and technology in the future, you don’t know how many thousand years of experience you have, but how can you still lose in talking nonsense?”

“Situations like Zhang Bu’s do exist. But it wasn't just because he and Shen Xiu had been suppressed for so long that they turned into hatred and acted without any scruples. "Valley"

"There is no smooth path in life." Wang Tianci looked at Zhou Xing and said seriously, "In the past, Master Yang said that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten." Among the children of our aristocratic Zhou clan, who can act completely according to his own wishes? Let’s just say my sister Wang Tianyun. Why did she run away from home again and again? If everything goes well at home, how could she run away from home?"

"Let's change our thinking. Seeing that he was gradually falling behind, Zhou Xing decided to avoid the truth and turn to the false. He changed the topic and said, "Look at the shortcomings of the Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng System. It is impossible for the Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng System to be perfect in your eyes." "

"The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is certainly not perfect. "Wang Tianci frowned slightly. He didn't realize that Zhou Xing actually used the trick of sophistry. He still said seriously, "It's like Shen Xiu. In fact, many people have clearly seen Shen Xiu's personality. He can only be an official, but cannot hold an important position in the court. This person is mean and ungrateful. He forgets evil and forgets good. He will avenge his enemies and not repay his kindness. Langya Junior High School originally wanted to classify Shen Xiu's character as low-grade. Zhou Xing, you Xingbai, if his character is judged as low-grade, no one will hire him in his life. But Shen Xiu learned the news immediately, and ran to Master Zhongzheng's residence and said that if he was designated as a low-grade man today, he would not hesitate to take his own life to avenge today's hatred. In the end, Zhongzheng was afraid. He was afraid that his descendants would be retaliated by Shen Xiu in the future, and finally rated his character as a lower-middle-class character. People with truly good character are sometimes suppressed by some bad actors. But with a true character like Shen Xiu's, most people who are upright are afraid that people with such a character have no bottom line in doing things, and want revenge for even the smallest evil. For their own sake, they dare not label their character as inferior. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.. For a long time, people with good character and people with bad character have received almost the same evaluation, which is really not good. "

When Zhou Xing heard this, he felt happy and thought that he could finally fight back.

"So, this is a typical rule of man. "At this moment, he finally felt like he had some pearls of wisdom, and finally regained some of the sense of superiority of the time traveler.

"Rule by people" Wang Tianci was really a little confused, "There are still no people in this society. To govern”

“The country must be governed by law, not by people. Now it was Zhou Xing's turn to talk, "Everything must have a system and everything must have a law." ”

“But the Jin Dynasty also had detailed Jin laws. "Wang Tianci is still puzzled.

"This Jin law is different from what I said. "Zhou Xing said confidently, "It's still the example you mentioned. Yes, everyone is afraid of offending villains, but no one is afraid of offending gentlemen. When you meet someone like Shen Xiu, no matter who you choose to be Zhongzheng, you will have a headache. You act impartially, Shen Xiu will definitely take revenge. If you don't do things impartially, then why do you want to be impartial? Therefore, the human factor must be removed. "

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Examination, unified examination. "Zhou Xing said firmly, "The national unified examination selects talents in an open, fair and just way. No matter how poor the family is, everyone is equal before the exam. "

Zhou Xing originally thought that when the other party heard his words, he would be like seeing a new world through clouds, but he never expected that Wang Tianci, who was opposite him, would frown even more.

“At the time of the Great Zhou Dynasty you mentioned, an ancestor of my Wang family systematically wrote a proposal to the court. Just as you said, a unified national examination was used to select talents. "Wang Tianci knocked back Zhou Xing's expectations as soon as he opened his mouth, "But the result of the subsequent debate in the court was that using this method would make society worse. ”

“How is that possible. "Zhou Xing was a little impatient. He thought to himself that this was a choice made by future generations for many years and has been proven by history. Do you, the disciples of the Zhou sect, just want to monopolize everything?

Wang Tianci shook his head He shook his head and said, "Let me ask you a question, what is the purpose of the official positions established in this country?"

This time it was Zhou Xing's turn to be stunned, and he thought for a while before speaking. A sentence he thought was extremely correct: “To better serve the people. "

Wang Tianci was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, and then burst out laughing. After a long time, he patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Zhou Xing, what are you saying? Very well said. I just said that you are not an ordinary person, you are not the kind of extremely selfish person. Serving the people, this sentence is really condensed. "

"Well, this world belongs to the people of the world, and the power of this official position is naturally determined by the people. "

"Okay, well said. Wang Tianci smiled even more when he heard what he said, "The power of official positions is determined by the people." Then let me ask you a question. You said you got an official position through examination. Who decided this official position?Who does it serve?"

As soon as Wang Tianci said these words, it was like a bolt of lightning out of thin air, shocking Zhou Xing to stand on the spot.

Could it be that I, the dignified time traveler, was wrong< /p>

Is the system of later generations wrong?

For a moment, he felt that he couldn't accept it no matter what.

Shi Zhong came out of Situ's mansion and entered again. At the Huainan Prince's Mansion

He met Situ Wang Rong very smoothly just now, but no matter how he tried to talk, there was no flaw in Wang Rong's Tai Chi skills as an old fox. He said, "Xiannephew, you can go to the King of Huainan to have a look. ”

Who is Shi Zhong? He immediately understood the meaning of Wang Rong’s words. He was born with a delicate heart, otherwise his business would not be so big. He knew clearly in his heart, Wang Rong Since he is willing to receive him, it is actually a show of attitude, otherwise he may not even be able to enter the gate of Situ's mansion.

The deposed prince Huangfu Yu is dead, Empress Jia and King Yuzhang have been deposed. Moreover, Shi Zhong knew that given Shen Xiu's character, Empress Jia and King Yuzhang would definitely die soon. Although King Zhao took the lead in this matter, and although King Zhao was also a member of the Huangfu family, they were still several generations apart in terms of closeness. , it is not King Zhao's turn to assist the government.

The person most qualified in the world to assist the emperor and the still very young grandson Huangfu Zang is the king of Huainan, Huangfu Yun. What cannot be denied, even King Zhao and Shen Xiu cannot deny, otherwise King Huainan would have been sent back to his Huainan Kingdom.
