Zhuxia dynasties have been pursuing centralization since the Qin Empire, and emphasized the strong and weak branches since the early Han Dynasty. They should ensure the absolute advantage of the central strength at any time.
Facts have also proved that as long as the central government has the strength of absolute superiority, the country can always maintain absolute stability. Many times, under this phenomenon, the country has basically moved towards prosperity.
However, once the strength of the central government weakens, there are powerful figures in local areas, and the central government is unable to deal with unstable factors in time, the country will enter a period of turbulence.
Of course, Huan Wen or yuan Qiao will not go to work for kianush Alta Aldasher introduced those.
"What I know... Jin Dynasty? Is that what you call the last dynasty?" Kianush Alta After a monologue, aldasher saw Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao's face ease down. He was relieved and had a desire for knowledge: "although the Jin Dynasty was also centralized, it was because of this that the kings and barons seriously damaged the strength of the country in order to compete for the position of emperor?"
The emperors of Zhuxia are supreme, precisely because of the supremacy of the emperor, but anyone who has the strength and opportunity will attack that throne.
"Our monarch, according to you, is the 'co Lord'. Everyone is loyal to the monarch, but we don't need to listen completely, whether from legal or other aspects." Kianush Alta Aldasher's statement made Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao think of the Zhou royal family. He saw them nod and continued, "that's why the throne, although noble, is not as attractive as the emperor's throne."
Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao can understand that if you become a king and still have no power to kill, the attraction of that throne will really decline a lot.
"Our war with Rome was weak most of the time. Only the great lords United can compete with Rome." Kianush Alta Aldasher smiled bitterly and said, "but it's usually too difficult to be united."
Huan Wen was very interested in the expedition to Persia. For some time, he did not know much information and intelligence. What he knows is that the Persians have competed with the Daqin people for thousands of years. Most of the time, the Persians are really at a disadvantage, so it is not difficult to understand kianush Alta How aldasher came up with the reason to learn the Han family system.
Zhuxia was used to the centralized system. On the contrary, other civilizations were still in the enfeoffment system.
In fact, it's really difficult to determine which system is good. No matter how good the system is, it can't afford to be screwed up by stupid people. No matter how bad the system is, it can also play tricks in the hands of wise people.
If the people of Zhuxia think that they have the history of the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period as a reference, they subconsciously think that enfeoffment is the root of all chaos, but is that really the case?
Like the enfeoffment of sassanne in Persia and Rome, they had to be local lords with strong strength, so that the country would move towards the period of expansion and maintain domestic prosperity from foreign plunder.
On the contrary, once the center of the Romans and Persians becomes strong, the rulers will inevitably enter a period of competition with the local lords. As a result, they will fall into a period of internal friction, civil war, or a relatively peaceful stalemate. Anyway, they will fall into a period of depression.
"I can't refute this at all." Kianush Alta What did aldasher just hear? Huanwen talked about the old events of the three giants in Rome. He touched his chin and fell into thinking: "indeed, in order to please the Romans (citizens with votes in Rome), the three of them repeatedly launched wars with foreign countries. Caesar mainly conquered Gaul, Krasu conquered North Africa and Greece, Pompeii fought with the Germanic and Gaul. Their starting point was to elect to become administrators, but they really expanded the territory of Rome."
There is also the latter thing, that is, Caesar won in that competition, but because Caesar's strength is really too strong, not only those who failed in the competition come together, together with some people who did not help or originally helped Caesar, they have become Caesar's opponents. There may be some relations between Caesar's policies. For example, the barbarians can become Roman citizens. The fundamental reason is that Caesar is strong enough to deal with anyone at will, which makes everyone afraid.
No matter the Romans or Persians, they have no saying that "the king wants his officials to die and his officials have to die". Only when the rulers can bring benefits can they be recognized as rulers. If they can't bring benefits, they will damage interests. Basically, they send the rulers to die with direct action.
I don't know if it is correct. Anyway, Zhuxia is indeed one step ahead in centralization, and later civilizations have gradually come to the road of centralization. It is because of historical factors that other civilizations except Zhuxia civilization, even if there was a short period of centralization, the time is usually not long.
It was a different direct reaction produced by different civilizations. In fact, Zhuxia had the same situation in the spring and Autumn period. The spring and Autumn period was also a period of rapid expansion of Zhuxia, but it was not the credit of the central government. In fact, it was the spontaneous act of vassal.
The so-called lords are vassals. Vassals can also have their own vassals, maintaining the national stratum system layer by layer. If they reach a loyalty relationship under the constraints of a pledge, there will be internal consumption, but the vast majority of their strength is used for external development.
It is said that the Western Han dynasty laid the initial territory of Zhuxia, but many areas expanded by the Western Han Dynasty were incorporated into the civilization system in the spring and Autumn period, which is tantamount to the Western Han Dynasty taking the unified road of the Qin Empire sweeping the eight wastelands and Six Harmonies again.
After the centralized power system was established in Zhuxia, the expansion of the territory was extremely slow. Many times, it even fought out and retracted itself. That was where the central government felt it could not control too far, and was unwilling to control it remotely in the mode of vassal.
The world is so big, there are some cases, but most of them are common. Since centralization has become a rule, Zhuxia is a relatively special one, which has almost no similarity with other countries and nations.
"The expansion of Rome was driven by various families?" Huan Wen knew this statement for the first time. After thinking for a while, he had to admit: "according to your statement, it is indeed so!"
"Our territory is also based on the expansion of each family." Kianush Alta Aldasher is talking about the expansion of those families in the Parthian period. The establishment of Persian Sasan is to recover the territory of Parthia, but it has not been fully recovered. He said: "it is a shame that we have stopped the recovery operation for many years, and even lost land all the time."
Kianush Alta What aldasher did not mention is that the system of Persian Sassanian is very unstable, which may be different changes due to different rulers coming to power. For example, the previous ruler respected the power of local lords, making the country's territory generally in the period of expansion, and the next ruler suppressed or even eliminated local lords, resulting in the shrinking of the territory.
Persians live in Central Asia and West Asia. They can contact a lot of civilizations. Europa, which has had a grudge against them for thousands of years, North Africa, which can rule from time to time, and ah Sanmen, their neighbors in the south.
There are too many civilizations in contact, and they also give Persians a variety of cultural elements. The system has never been the same, but generally keeps pace with Europa, which means that they love each other and kill each other.
"We (the aldasher royal family) are now back to the old way." Kianush Alta Aldasher refers to the decline of the royal family and does not care about the powerful Lord: "now Rome is divided. Maybe it's our best chance."
In recent years, Persian sassanne has fought with Rome, but the scale of the war is not large. The aldasher royal family, which rules Persian sassanne, has the opportunity to transfer back troops from the front line with Rome. If there had not been unrest everywhere, it would have fought against some disobedient Lords.
"We need reform." Kianush Alta When aldasher said this, he became very firm: "in the known world, only the big man's system is the most appropriate."
Persians had contact with Zhuxia. The earliest time should be in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was completely difficult for the two sides to conduct in-depth communication. Naturally, there were some countries separated from each other all the time. At the same time, the environment along the way was quite bad, which created enough obstacles for in-depth communication.
Peeping into the leopard happens in all aspects all the time, like kyanoush Alta That's what aldasher is doing right now. He has personally been to the Han state and can also communicate face-to-face with some key officials of the Han state, but how can he know enough about the civilization of Zhuxia in such a short time.
Don't say it's kianush Alta Aldasher, in fact, even the people of Zhuxia can't have a comprehensive understanding of their own civilization. Just living in such an environment, everything seems to take its course, but it's really difficult to describe it in words.
Kianush Alta Aldasher said that to learn the Han system is not to mention it at will. It is the Han system he saw and understood that is most beneficial to the family of the ruler.
As a royal family, it is also a royal family with real power. More importantly, the descendants of the family do not have the right to inherit the throne, kianush Alta How could al Dahir not be excited about the supremacy of the ruler's power in the Han Dynasty?
"We can provide the necessary help." Yuan Qiao tried his best to endure the excitement in his heart: "no matter from which aspect."
In the final analysis, Yuan Qiao is still a Confucian, and the Confucian is very interested in enlightenment. He has always thought of "world harmony", so he starts from teaching barbarians Zhuxia characters, and then further assimilates barbarians' thoughts and turns barbarians into Zhuxia.
Kianush Alta Aldasher suddenly felt wrong, and Yuan Qiao's enthusiasm came too suddenly.
Huan Wen noticed kianush Alta Aldasher's unusual, quietly reminded yuan Qiao.
Yuan Qiao didn't care much. Educating barbarians was the favorite thing of Confucianism, or the attitude of doing things with great sentiment. When they did such a thing, they didn't have malice, just to spread culture. Basically, they didn't think much about the effects after spreading culture.
If Huan Wen had not had a dialogue with Liu Yan about the Enlightenment of barbarians, it is estimated that he would be similar to Yuan Qiao.
That's true. Confucianism wanted to make barbarians feel the greatness of saints, and other aspects were secondary. This thought originally existed only in the Confucian Chu poetry school and Korean poetry school, but later spread to other Confucian schools, especially Guyang school.
Kianush Alta Aldasher didn't know what cultural invasion was, but he felt something wrong from Yuan Qiao's excessive enthusiasm, and was relieved after many attempts.
"Really? Saint." Kianush Alta Aldasher asked vaguely, "knowledge is created by your saints?"
Yuan Qiao didn't have the face to say "yes". He suddenly thought of something, and his originally cheerful state of mind slowly faded down.
The sage is the sage when the Confucianists rule the hegemony in an all-round way. The family in Shandong can not only enjoy various privileges, but also be unconditionally respected by the cultural people.
Now, after the rampant hooligans, Confucianism is naturally hit by the current situation. Then, in the two Jin Dynasties, Confucianism itself went into a fork in the road. As long as it is a great Confucian, it can't help understanding metaphysics, making the yin-yang school very popular.
Confucianism from the spring and Autumn period to the Qin Empire spoke of "benevolence" and "propriety"; In Liu Che's period of the Western Han Dynasty, Confucianism took "the great righteousness of the spring and Autumn Period" and "vengeance" as the main tone, and then became "self denial and return to rites"; In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the core of Confucianism changed again and became "harmony".
It can be said that the core of Confucianism has been changing in any period.
Liu Yan is not interested in Confucianism at all. There is no sign of exclusive respect for Confucianism at all. That can be seen from the family in Shandong. That is his complete distrust of the integrity of the family in Shandong. The family has done too many dirty things following the signboard of the sage. It is not mentioned how to bully the people at ordinary times. It is only that any intruder can be recognized that he can disgust the dead. What is there to respect in such a family?
However, if the Shandong family can express resistance when the foreign enemy invades, instead of repeatedly kneeling and licking, Liu Yan will give up the family even if he doesn't like it any more. Unfortunately, the family didn't resist once. On the contrary, they have repeatedly become the help of the invaders. How many times did they appeal not to resist the invaders.
In kianush Alta After aldasher invited yuan Qiao to introduce the great Confucianism to Persia, Huan Wen's attitude also changed.
"Yes." Huan Wen began to change and Yan Huan said, "if you are willing and willing to pay for it, maybe you can't discuss the sale of weapons."
If yuan Qiao thought of enlightenment, Huan Wen thought of making Persia fully sinicized.
