When Cao Zhishun arrived in Luoyang, he finally waited for Han Qi's memorial. Han Qi submitted a memorial because before Yuanhao occupied Guasha Prefectures, Cao Zhishun abandoned the Central Plains and served in the Khitan. The Guiyi soldiers no longer belonged to the Cao family, but missed the Zhang family.

The handling of the Guiyi Army regime was decided by this. Cao Zhishun was granted the founding Duke of Qiao County and lived in the capital from then on. After Han Qi was asked to cooperate with the officials sent by the court to investigate Zhang Chengfeng, he chose the wise man as King of Xiping, opened the prefecture in Shazhou, and educated the people west of Suzhou.

On March 13th, officials were selected to appease all the northwest territories.

Bao Zheng was the mass appeaser of Gansu Road. In addition to going to the northwest to comfort the place, he wanted to find Zhang Chengfeng's descendants with Han Qi. As long as he had virtuousness and won the hearts of the local people, he was appointed King of Xiping regardless of his previous identity. A few months later, he went to Beijing with Bao Zheng to meet the king.

The next day, after Bao Zheng passed away, he went to the Political Affairs Hall to say goodbye to the prime ministers.

After Yan Shu and Zhang Dexiang gave orders, Xu Ping said to Bao Zheng: "This way to Gansu, in addition to appease the hearts of the people, the most important thing is to choose the right descendants of the Zhang family. This matter is very important, so you must not take it lightly."

Bao Zheng bowed: "According to the orders of the court, we found the descendants of the Zhang family. No matter what their identities were, they would be made King Xiping. There was something unknown to the subordinate officials. If the descendants of the Zhang family were in charge of a lowly career at this time, or even a slave or a servant, they would be made King?"

Xu Ping said: "Yes, no matter what identity he is now, he will be made king. This is the merit of his ancestors, and later generations inherited it. The Zhang family rose to the Guiyi Army in Shazhou, and rose up in the fishy Danzhong area, re-established the Tang system, and continued to sacrifice Han sacrifices. Hundreds of years later, there were still Han land in the northwest, and the Han people were the people. The Zhang family made great contributions. This is the justice of the world, not the kindness of one person, you must act cautiously. If you are really a slave, remember to redeem it for the court, which is to show the people the public."

Xu Ping did not know whether there was a slave system in the northwest. This was something Bao Zheng and Han Qi wanted to investigate and deal with. But if the descendants of the Zhang family became slaves to others, it was their previous system and should be respected. If the King of Xiping was established, they had to pay the money for their redeem. If the abolition of the slaves later were the abolition of the slaves later.

If one does not respect his predecessors, he will discuss history with the present, and believes that all ancient people are either stupid or bad, and will suffer from bad consequences. Today's people will one day become ancient people. Later generations look through history and find that some places are not as good as those of the ancients. When they see such arrogant remarks, you can imagine how to look at an era.

There is no natural reason for policies, and there is no natural correctness, and it must have its limitations. If it is not in line with the times or the earth, then change it. But you cannot be correct than the people who have been changed because you have changed. It is just that the times have changed. By criticizing the ancients, criticizing opponents, and occupying the commanding heights of morality, it is worthless.

The legitimacy of systems and policies comes from the people and whether the people agree. It is useless to put a historical law there and make the rules of heaven. If you do not recognize the destiny of heaven and do not recognize the existence of gods, the laws of history are also false.

Xu Ping must find out why he did this at that time and what kind of problems he had to solve. Now it is inappropriate, what conditions have changed, what new problems have emerged, and how to change to solve new problems. Only after he has figured out whether the new policies are suitable or not.

Confucius said: Don’t tell me what happened, don’t advise me if I did, and don’t blame me if I did. Later generations can’t even have this little mind.

Xu Ping said to Bao Zheng: "If the Zhang family has only one descendant when they go to Shazhou, they will naturally stop everything. The court will make a king. If there are any shortcomings in virtue, the court urges them to monitor and teach their descendants at all times to wait for their descendants to uphold their positions."

Bao Zheng said: "What if there are several descendants?"

"Then you must carefully understand the hearts of the people and choose the most suitable person. There is a Buddha country, which is different from the people in the Central Plains. You must not do what you want to do to represent the people's hearts. You must check the people's feelings and determine whether the people are virtuous. According to the people's hearts, it depends on the people's hearts in the future to see if this person can win the hearts of the people. Don't let the local people sigh a few years later. The court was unsatisfied at that time, and it would be better to be a king than at this time. In the future, there will be a court in the political affairs and governance of the area, and unite people's hearts and return to the King of Xiping. Be cautious!"

Bao Zheng is a smart person, and he is much more open-minded than Ouyang Xiu and others in these things. Xu Ping said so carefully, of course he understood what it meant and what he should do when he got there.

After all, establishing the King of Xiping to commemorate the Guiyi Army's struggle is second-hand, and winning the hearts of the local people is the main purpose. After destroying Dangxiang, the Central Plains dynasty once again entered the area, and in the early days, the support of the natural people is natural. However, as time goes by, the governance of the Central Plains dynasty will inevitably be different from before. Those who have gained benefits must also suffer losses.

The people's hearts arise first, and the people's desires will naturally win the people's hearts. However, without reaching great harmony, the people in the world cannot think of anything, and there will always be no one who cannot satisfy them. The regime can only make choices and make the people's hearts surrender to the greatest extent. This is the meaning of showing the people under the rule to the public and facing the great righteousness. The righteousness of the people is the greatest common divisor that the people recognize.

The establishment of the King of Ping Xi means that the court will show justice to the people in the northwest and follow their wishes. Otherwise, the support of the people who have arrived from the beginning will soon become all unacceptable and disconnected from the local people. The Ming Dynasty expelled Mongolia and had the world, so it is said that the country's righteousness in history is nothing better than that of the Ming Taizu. However, the Ming Taizu ascended the throne and believed in the destiny of heaven, turned his head and put down the previous righteousness, and recognized the destiny of the Yuan Dynasty. Then, the Yuan Dynasty was the destiny of heaven, and established the legitimacy of the regime. This false destiny could not support the Ming Dynasty.

The destiny of the Han Dynasty was not a complete monarchy and heavenly empowerment. Before that, the theoretical framework of hearing the heavenly being the people’s listening, seeing the heavenly being the people’s vision, and the heart of heaven is the heart of man. That destiny is just to use the heaven to check the heart of the people to gain a sense of identity, and the heart of the people is the fundamental.

After the God-given and the Heaven-given, the legitimacy of the regime must come from the people. The so-called inheritance of the legal system of the previous dynasty would not gain the recognition of the people at all. In the previous life, Xu Ping's founding of the country in New China was that everything came from the people, and this was the real foundation of the country. The Beiyang Republic, which allowed the Qing Emperor to abdicate and took power, was a joke, and those who took on that legal system were all jokes.

From living alone to gathering, people must have intersections to have a sense of collective identity. On the one hand, their temperament and ** come from themselves, and on the other hand, they come from that collective. If the regime wants to maintain a sense of collective identity, they should try not to interfere with the private part and strengthen the collective part. This is the justice and righteousness of the regime.

We do not recognize the two sides of human nature and believe that human nature is monolithic, and all thoughts and behaviors are social reactions. This is socialism. Public ownership, the large collective, is just the most basic reaction of the unilateral social understanding of people in terms of system and culture. Thoughts and behaviors that do not conform to human social nature all come from capitalist corrosion, and are the tail of capitalism, and should be educated and transformed. Many socialist movements are rooted in this, and systems and movements do not come out of thin air.

It is believed that human nature is selfish and does not recognize or weaken the social nature of human nature, which is capitalism, freedom and many other ideas, elections, parliament and other systems, all come from these regimes' understanding of human nature.

Whether it is capitalism or socialism, toward modernization, the most fundamental political fundamental is that the legitimacy of a regime no longer comes from God or from heaven, but from the people. The modernization of political civilization is the most basic criterion for discrimination, and the specific political system only ensures this legitimacy.

The electoral system must be restricted, and the purpose of restraint is to take the justice and righteousness of the group of their era. The unrestricted complete universal suffrage system will inevitably make selfish desires reject justice and righteousness, becoming a group of people, a row of interests, and a division of fruits. Such a regime cannot last for a long time, nor will it have a solid legitimacy, it is just a piece of loose sand that is pinched together.

Xu Ping now implements this idea into political systems and specific policies, which is a little ahead of the times. In history, Ouyang Xiu and his group developed it and deepened the ideas of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, so that they initially improved it. Of course, they did not say that this is the legitimacy of the regime, but instead investigated chaos, investigated the hearts of the people, distinguished the temperament, and looked at the right power of the regime, and whether the emperor and officials were in charge of the position.

I thought that if the army went over and sent officials to hit anyone who was not convinced, and if they were not convinced, they would be able to establish a solid rule. I was too much thinking. In the long history of human civilization, no bandit group could establish a long-term and stable rule.

Xu Ping killed Yuan Hao, destroyed Dangxiang, and occupied those places, which was just the first step. Only in the subsequent governance, winning the hearts of the local people and forming national identity with the Song Dynasty could it be considered a great achievement.

Before this, establishing the King of Xiping to win the hearts of the local people was an indispensable transition. Shazhou was stable and could also be used as a call to open up the Western Regions. The Song Dynasty no longer had the shining destiny of the Han Dynasty, and it was not appropriate to build the destiny of heaven. It was to let history go back, so Xu Ping had to adopt this roundabout way.

After a long period of peace in the world, peace and stability in the country, the governance of the court was recognized by the people, and the sense of belonging was enhanced. The role of King Xiping to unite people's hearts became weaker and weaker. The people will naturally follow the Central Plains culture and actively change customs and habits. This is the process of education. Education is carried out by the people actively, and they will do it passively, and they will achieve half the result with twice the effort, and may even fail in a mess.

The people are the foundation of the country. In this era, it is not a shocking statement, but in fact it has gradually become a consensus. Xu Ping explained in detail to Bao Zheng why he chose the Zhang family and why he wanted to establish the King of Xiping, so that he could have a clear understanding.

I don’t know the matter well and think that choosing someone to be a king is just a means to deceive the local people, so I cannot do this. The regime has both acting and acting, but cannot deceive. Once there is deception, people’s hearts will be lost.
