The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The ruling emperor gave his position to the wise to succeed him, which was called abdication; the wise man who accepted the abdication had to pretend to "refuse without accepting" and only ascend to the throne after being persuaded by ministers, which was called persuading him.

The virtues of Yao, Shun, and the virtuous and wise men have always been the legends passed down by the ancients and the role models of the morality of the sage kings. But strangely, the sage Confucius only talked about the popularization of the masses in the "Yongye" and "Xianwen" chapters of "The Analects of Confucius".

It is difficult for Yao and Shun to cultivate oneself to comfort the people. It is difficult for Yao and Shun to avoid talking about the virtue of Yao and Shun’s abdication, which shows that he has a view on abdication. Xunzi pointed out incisively: "Yao and Shun are good at giving in. That's not the case. The emperor is the emperor

, the power is supreme and invincible in the world, who can give in?

Yes, if there is no force to force the palace and the opponent's clamor, who would easily give up the supreme leadership to others? But whether it is the change of power by force or the peaceful transition of abdication, the successor to the throne must be morally trusted by others.

We need to do everything possible to dress ourselves up as an orthodox and legitimate successor, so various theories emerged.

For example, from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's view of destiny was granted by the gods of power, Zou Yan's theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, Xi Zaochi's orthodox theory, and even the theory of race, culture, regional theory, blood relationship theory, Qi number theory, etc. It is incredible.

Yes, Sun Quan's advisers during the Three Kingdoms knew that Sun Quan did not occupy the advantages of region, culture, or blood compared to Liu Bei. They actually said that Sun Quan "reads books and passes on history and has a strange collection" than Liu Bei's books, and is also a good example.

The conditions for becoming king. In fact, this is just to create momentum for public opinion that comes to the stage and deceive foolish and blind people.

Since the Xia Dynasty, Chinese society has rarely "abdicated" and has changed from abdication system to a hereditary system of the throne. After that, the abdication system has been passed down from generation to generation, and the abdication system has remained in name only! There have been several limited abdication, including Han Chanwei, Wei Chanjin, and Later Zhou Chan.

However, most of them were forced to abdicate. There were several people who took the initiative to abdicate during the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu abdicated Taizong, Ruizong abdicated Xuanzong, Xuanzong abdicated Suzong, etc. Most of them were forced to do so. The only one who could be considered willing to abdicate was Tang Ruizong abdicated to Tang Xuanzong.

Although Zhao Ji gave way to Zhao Huan, he was forced to shirk responsibility, but later he regretted it.

………

"Your Highness, now the emperor has written an edict in his hand and a large army on his side. We should announce it to the world as soon as possible so that the people can know the new state lord so that others can take the opportunity to cause trouble!" Zong Ze looked at Zhao Jie and was a little anxious.

He said that he was worried that Zhao Gou would ascend the throne in front, and that if he didn't do it well, the affairs of one country and two rulers would occur. Although there was "true or false", it would be troublesome to deal with it.

"The two emperors are still there, how dare I call me!" Zhao Qi shook his head and said. In fact, he knew his situation very well at this time, but it was not his original idea to be emperor. But history forced him to the corner and made him even more.

He had the idea of ​​establishing himself as a king and opening up another pure land. However, he had too many difficulties for the Song Dynasty and was involved in this storm again.

"Your Highness, as today's chaos, the people of the Central Plains are trapped in the fire and water. Although King Kang is in charge of the world's troops, he is afraid of the enemy and is reluctant to send troops. Now only the prince can take on the important task of saving the world!" Chen Go said, Zhongshan was killed three times

They surrounded them so that they could see the ferocity of the Jurchens, but they were beaten by the King of Qin to lose their armor and lose their troops. It seems that only the King of Qin could defeat the Jurchens.

"This matter is serious, Wang Rong thought about it carefully!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "I don't want them to persuade him again."

At this moment, Zhao Xiao was very confused. In the previous life of "History of Song Dynasty", he was filled with righteous indignation when he saw the shame of Jingkang. After he came to this world, he was actively prepared to stop all this from happening, but the matter was not as he imagined.

The simple, complex official struggles and intriguing father and son brother made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he finally chose to escape from all this...

As the Jingkang shame was staged, anyone could find a hundred reasons to pick him out, and he could also find a bunch of reasons, family affection, brothers, wealth, and even the people of the world. But now Zhao Qi cannot forgive himself

As a latecomer, he knew what would happen, but he did not do his best to prevent the tragedy from happening.

In the final analysis, he is still cherishing his feathers too much. He probably wants to avoid bleeding from the so-called reputation of loyalty and filial piety, but now he has to keep more blood. He has instilled his subordinates in the jungle law of the strong being the king. In the end,

But I abandoned him and forgot that history is an iron law written by the victors.

The Confucian abdication idea was originally intended to choose "virtuous and capable" to express their ideal strategy for founding and dynasty replacement, but gradually it was borrowed by the rulers to achieve forced dynasty replacement, which gave them a glimpse of usurpation of power.

The reasonable fig leaf made their behavior of seizing the throne look in line with the feudal ritual teachings and used to consolidate the newly established rule. Therefore, abdication was only used to cover up the rulers' usurpation of the throne and deceive history.

When the Shang Dynasty was founded, Shang Tang held a meeting of three thousand princes, and Shang Tang gave up the throne three times at the meeting; when the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave up the throne three times. Yuan Shikai, later generations, did the most vividly, and the key point is to be hypocritical.

.Yuan Shikai clearly wants to be the emperor himself, but he has to give in the early stage that everyone has to "please" him. After asking for it, he has to say: Since the imperial system must be restored, let the Aisin Jueluo family abdicate

China's system today is the result of long-term and endogenous evolution based on its political and cultural traditions. The change of leadership power can still be seen that the replacement of China's highest power has the traditional "abdication" color on the one hand, but it also breaks the ancient "

The limitation of the lifelong system of abdication is considered a distinctive abdication system.

These are not so much political performances as a relic of the ancient abdication system, and take a seemingly reasonable and legal procedure. Abdication is no longer just a means and method of dynasty replacement, it should be recognized as a kind of politics and a kind of

Etiquette politics with Chinese characteristics is a unique and explicit political phenomenon in Chinese history with its unique content and form...

Even if he doesn't call himself emperor now, Zhao Gou will definitely be called emperor. Zhao Gou will not save the two emperors now and in the future. The Central Plains and even Jiangnan were ravaged by the Jurchens again and again, which has been tested by history.

The 'Grandpa Yue', who was still a small officer, will also become a sacrifice for his surrender and beg for peace.

Did you watch your "idol" die tragically at the Fengbo Pavilion? Is it that the sad face in front of you who shouted "Cross the river", and died with deep regret? Let those who follow you through life and death

Brothers are lonely souls who died in a foreign land! At this moment, Zhao Qi seemed to have figured it out all of a sudden... (Go...)
