Chapter 752: Too Much Power

Lu Ning's words were like a bombshell, which made Guan Ning stunned. This novel view made Guan Ning, a great scholar in the world, unable to understand. If Lu Ning had not been very serious when speaking, Guan Ning would have thought it was a joke or thought that Lu Ning had suddenly had a water in his head.

Zhou Yu was not happy after hearing this, and he was confused. This view was too shocking and shocked Guan Ning, who was wise in ancient times! Guan Ning and Zhou Yu were all looking at Lu Ning in a daze, hoping that Lu Ning could explain it more clearly. At the same time, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, doubting whether there was something wrong with Lu Ning's head, how could he say such idiotic words?

It took Guan Ning a long time to come back to his senses. Although he felt that Lu Ning's words were a bit fantasy, they still sounded a little reasonable. This is too huge, it is related to the future of millions of people, the future of civil and military officials who have followed Lu Ning for so many years, and also to the future of the people of the world.

Guan Ning said: "Ziyi, although I don't agree with you, I also want to hear your explanation. This is an unprecedented view, very novel and shocking."

Lu Ning glanced at Guan Ning and felt that he should talk to Guan Ning well. If Guan Ning could be convinced, it would be easier to work with this famous scholar in the world to do ideological work for other officials; Guan Ning's status determines the weight of his speech; Guan Ning has a very high reputation, status and influence among the scholars in the world; this is also the reason why Lu Ning became a disciple of Guan Ning at the time.

Lu Ning said lightly: "Old man, to put it directly, it means that the emperor has too much power! In the past, the world you followed was the emperor, and everyone and everything in the world belonged to the emperor; this is why the king had to die and the ministers had to die; everything in this world was decided by the emperor. The emperor had the supreme power, and no one could restrain the emperor's behavior, which was not feasible. The development and prosperity of the country, the revitalization of the nation, the peace and prosperity of the people, the life and death of people, and the formulation of various policies and policies. How can it be determined by the emperor's hobbies, interests, and character? Human abilities are limited. No matter how outstanding a person or a great emperor, there are shortcomings, shortcomings and disadvantages, and the sustainable development of the country and the nation cannot be affected by these."

Zhou Yu understood a little at this time, meaning that Lu Ning did not want to be an emperor, which was too unexpected; people all have desires, and as long as they meet the conditions, everyone wants to be an emperor, and everyone has the desire for power. This is the instinct of human nature. But Lu Ning can seize such a state, which makes Zhou Yu deeply admire Lu Ning again. Such a mind and such selfless dedication are so admirable to Zhou Yu.

Guan Ning didn't expect Lu Ning to be worried about not being an emperor, but he couldn't find another emperor to come out! How could the civil and military officials under Lu Ning agree? Besides, this kid means that others cannot be emperors, so what should I do in this country? Isn't this nonsense?

Guan Ning said: "Ziyi, what you said about the emperor's power is too great, which is also true; but these things can be discussed and explained, and it is also feasible to study a way to restrict the emperor's rights. Why do you object to the fact that the country should have an emperor?"

Lu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, in Confucianism, the imperial power is infinite; precisely because of the emperor, even if we now formulate some clauses to limit the imperial power, the imperial power is indeed too great, and human desires are infinite, and the pursuit of rights is even more so. The clause that restricts the imperial power will be abolished by the emperor at any time; so the problem cannot be fundamentally solved. Just like Cao Cao and the young emperor, the battle between them is actually a struggle for the desire for power; even if the decline of Emperor Xian of Han is still fighting for the rights they have? Although the Han imperial power has long been in name only, there are still countless descendants of the royal family dreaming of becoming emperors."

Guan Ning also knew in his heart that as long as there was an emperor, even if he formulated strict terms to limit the imperial power, it would not take long. Even if this generation continued to execute, would the next generation continue to execute? But without an emperor, what should we do if this national guest? The country always needs a ruling man!

Guan Ning shook his head and said, "Ziyi, you have a big problem. I am really at a loss. I don't know what to say. But you have to know one thing. The country must have someone to manage, and the country must have a leader, otherwise it will not be messed up?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Old man, you are right! Of course, the country needs someone to manage, and it does need a leader, but why do you have to need an emperor?"

Guan Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Ziyi, is there any difference? A leader or emperor is just a different name, so why don't you be serious?"

Lu Ning smiled bitterly, this is a whole thing, these are two completely different concepts, and the leader and the emperor are different; the emperor has supreme power; and the leader is just a worker for the country and the people, so what will happen!

Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Old man, this is not the same thing. The country needs a leader and a large number of talented managers; but the rights in their hands are granted by the people; if the leaders and managers of the country do not serve the people well, do not handle affairs seriously for the country, and do not serve the country selflessly, the people have the right to take back the rights in the hands of the leaders and managers; but the emperor is different, and has supreme imperial power, who dares to take over the rights of the emperor!"

Guan Ning became more and more novel, and the more he listened, the more shocking he felt; but he also felt that what Lu Ning said had some truth and was very realistic, but he just didn't understand the key point and didn't know how to operate it.

Guan Ning said: "Ziyi, can you tell me more in detail? What you said is too profound and too novel, and they are all unheard of views."

Lu Ning said: "My man, this is actually a national system problem? Now our Han Dynasty should implement a constitutional monarchy; this is not a good national system. The monarchy cannot make the country stronger, nor can the rejuvenation of the Han nationality, nor can it bring a good life to the people of the world. The monarchy is just a national system formulated for the rule of the emperor. This includes many contents in Confucianism, which are actually serving the emperor's control of the country. Everything is a doctrine and system formulated from the emperor's standpoint. You should admit this, right?"

Guan Ning certainly understood in his heart that this Confucianism has basically served the imperial power since Emperor Wu and Dong Zhongshu's revision. To put it bluntly, it is because the emperor has served the country. But who knows the true meaning of Confucianism? Confucius did not leave any manuscripts, nor any works passed down from generation to generation. They were all sorted out by later generations. How many of them are the original meaning of Confucius, only God knows.

Guan Ning said: "Ziyi, then do you have any good suggestions?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Federal Republic!"
