Chapter 3618 Decentralization of power and weaving warp and weaving, and devoting text to determine the universe(2/2)

Once Fei Qian's triangular checks and balances model of "Grand Prime Minister + Shangshu Tai Three Classics and Six Departments + Presbyterian Church" was formed, the most revolutionary influence of this system lies in the incubation of the spirit of "political contract" in advance, which is exactly what is most lacking in the ancient feudal system of China.

Politics requires "contract", not "release military power with a glass of wine", or "two peaches kill three soldiers".

If you do well, you can't just leave it alone. If you don't do well, you can't "retire off the sick and retire" even if you're done.

Since Confucianism proposed the concept of "Son of Destiny", China has formed a "one-way contract" model. The emperor has the highest right to interpret, the highest right to adjudicate, and the ultimate right to execute. He is an athlete, a referee, and an audience.

Confucianism is a parasitic vine on the trunk of the emperor. While sweeping away the surroundings for the emperor, it also hangs generations of emperors alive, sucks blood and grows stronger, and then parasitizes on the next dynasty.

Therefore, both the emperor and Confucianism must fall down before all things can be born.

And among all things, the most important thing is the "political contract".

There was no shortage of "contracts" in the Han Dynasty.

The high development of folk contract documents such as the "Shief Coupon" in the Han Dynasty was in sharp contrast to the non-contractual nature of the political field.

Fei Qian deliberately left Lu Bu, in fact, to lay the foundation for the importance of the "political contract".

Only when the "mechanics" die, can the capable people in China perform their best. Otherwise, like Han Xin, they will be blamed for "self-defeating their achievements", defining Liu Bang's political betrayal as a moral defect rather than a system issue, which will lead to every "powerful minister" who comes to power, in the end, having to consider themselves and how their family will survive...

The self-defilement of turtles is also a reminder of this disease.

Among the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, Huo Guang and others aggravated this disease, which also led to repeated signing and confirmation of the "political contract" on the surface, but in fact, both sides were doubting whether they would be betrayed the next moment, and they were unable to protect themselves.

This is true even for Liu Xie and Cao Cao now.

Then when Fei Qian takes control of Shandong, the conflict between Liu Xie and Cao Cao will also be transferred to Fei Qian.

According to the original old path, Fei Qian left the emperor again, raised a pig, and spent decades, and then the clan was destroyed as soon as the person died like Huo Guang, or it was similar to Wang Mang and Cao Pi, trying to solve the orthodox problem of political inheritance rights by abdication.

And both are obviously not a good idea.

Therefore, Fei Qian thought of such a new model and a new path.

When "proposal, execution, and feedback" becomes a closed loop of the system, the traditional Chinese rule legitimacy will gradually shift from "destiny" to "performing contracts". After all, the so-called emperor and court are the people of all countries who have transitioned part of their rights, and the general order-maintaining institutions formed are institutions that organize production, guarantee life, and resist foreign enemies. This is itself a "political contract", which is two-way, not a place where a person or some people demonstrates their incompetence and satisfy their selfish desires.

Once the political contract of China is formed, it may lead the Chinese nation to a higher and more brilliant peak.
