Chapter 1047

As the election system is about to be held, if you go to the market and even ask a three-year-old child what the most important thing of the great pole Dynasty is, he will answer that it is the election system.

So, what is the election system? Formally, it is the same as pushing the sages in ancient times, but even if it is more like it, it is impossible to change the basic feature that the great pole Dynasty is a hereditary Dynasty.

It is impossible to imitate the selection of ancient tribal society. Aside from that, the article on candidates has fully proved the limitations of the election system. All candidates must have royal blood, even if it is a collateral branch, they also need to be close to the orthodox blood.

This was the condition set by the former empress Ming emperor in order to please the royal family, and it was also necessary to maintain the unification of the Empire.

When there are a large number of candidates, there are more than ten. No matter how few, there must be more than three. This is the hard condition set by Emperor Xuan.

Otherwise, there is no need for selection, no comparison, how to know good or bad.

In order to ensure the fairness of the election system, we must first ensure that the selection place, that is, the people in the county are correct. After all, the core of the assessment is to see the people's support for you.

There are problems in population calculation, and the authenticity will be greatly reduced.

In addition, in order to select counties with development potential, behind them are the labor of countless officials and workers. The huge statistics are no less than war, which is definitely not an empty statement.

In addition, in order to prevent hostile forces from undermining the election system, the military also needs to be vigilant at all times. Destruction is far simpler than creation. You work hard, lead the army and people, reclaim wasteland and expand land, and are completely burned by the enemy. What's your state of mind.

Finally, not to mention those external problems, domestic worries alone are in great trouble. You should know that there is a competitive relationship between princes.

The election system does not have to achieve much support rate. It only needs to be higher than the opponent's support rate. To be honest, it is worse than me. Although I am worse, as long as you are worse than me, I will win.

The purpose is clear. In the thousands of years since the election system was held, there have been several incidents of mutual harm between princes. It is no exaggeration to say that there are so many articles on the surface that have not been exposed in the dark, which are hundreds of times this number.

Fortunately, they fought only in a small county. No matter how hard they fought, they could not hurt the core hinterland of the dynasty. There was the highest referee of the son of heaven, which was also the consideration of the Ming emperor in the past.

The system was like this, but after the death of the Ming emperor, all forces involved in the election system and the idea of serving the people wholeheartedly was forgotten. Even the emperor, the supreme judge, ended up in a frame of deviation and confusion.

In order to prevent the emperor from being both a referee and an athlete, during the Xuandi period, even the emperor's power was limited to avoid excessive inclination of resources.

It is not difficult to imagine that at the beginning of the election system, the princes participating in the election can be said to have the status of a prince.

In order to prepare for the election, for several days, King Yong did not leave his study and read the county materials that might be selected as the election place again and again, not only the county related to himself, but also the materials related to several brothers.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles! No prince really cares only about his jurisdiction!

The selection system strictly forbids the princes to quarrel with each other. However, how can we prevent this kind of thing? We don't have to go out in person to find some green forest bandits, but we can't find any clues afterwards.

King Yong is the fourth son of the son of heaven. There are three brothers in front of him: King Lu, King Jin and King Jing.

His eldest brother, King Lu, the eldest prince, is now in his thirties. He is king Jing, the third prince. He is already twenty to five.

The basis of the selection system is that there should be three candidates. It can be said that the selection system could be held seven years ago. However, because King Yong was the legitimate son, he was forcibly postponed for seven years. How many seven years of life!

For this reason, the relationship between King Yong and his three brothers has not been very good. One less competitor has more hope of winning.

No one is willing to wait. The so-called gentleman revenge, ten years later, is just words without strength. No strength to the extreme, it will say that people are doing, heaven is watching, God will accept your first-class words, but to the extreme, poor and lamentable.

People without strength will seek the help of God or God. Therefore, in the long river of humanity, it is not difficult to find that the more powerful people are, the more they do not believe in these miracles.

What, you say there are Buddha emperors and kings who call themselves Taoist kings. You don't really think they believe in these. They just use religion as a tool, because the people believe in these and conform to the people's hearts. Once the people's beliefs change, you can see their changes.

In fact, the postponement of the election system is not entirely due to King Yong. The emperor's throne has not been stable for a few years. Do the people below want to overthrow it? Among them, there is also the selfishness of the emperor.

It is precisely because of this understanding that the three princes of Lu, Jin and Jing did not make trouble. Some of the remaining grievances can only be vented towards the fourth younger brother. To some extent, King Yong has become the scapegoat of the son of heaven.

It's not all bad that the three princes waited for seven more years. They spent seven more years preparing for the election system. The contacts secretly arranged during this period can not only help themselves, but also harm others.

Therefore, although King Yong is the legitimate son, there are not a few people in the court who are optimistic about the first three princes. Many people have stood in line as early as a few years ago. King Yong wants to dig a corner, which is not so easy.

What are your strengths and weaknesses? King Yong himself understood that he was sparing no effort to expand his team. Many times, Wu Yi played the role of carrying out this task.

However, the people who can really win over are either from the northern army or the people after King Yong's mother. These people, who were originally from the same line of King Yong, don't have to draw in. They already have labels on them.

Those top leaders are watching from a distance, who wins and who helps. And they themselves do not have to get involved in the election battle. Anyway, no matter who wins, with their own talents, they can occupy a place in the new dynasty.

The key is that the middle and senior officials are not particularly interested in the olive branches thrown by King Yong.
