My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 171
Zhou Xing's current state is much better than yesterday, the blisters on his body have completely disappeared, and his eyes can see things, but when he speaks, his voice is still a little hoarse.

Hearing Wang Tianci's question, he nodded, "I don't have any other thoughts, it's just the bad breath in my heart that makes me panic."

Wang Tianci stood up a little angrily, which was a very rare move for him, and asked: "A good man should have the world in his heart, how could he put himself into such a dangerous situation for the sake of a confidante. Zhou Xing, with your Ability, you can do more, you can do better."

"I'm sorry, I don't have so many ideas, I just want to live my personal life well." Zhou Xing has been a human being for two lifetimes, and his sense of belonging to this world has never been so strong, "I just want to avenge Han Yan now."

"If it wasn't Chen Xiu who killed Han Yan, but another person who was beneficial to the world, would you kill him too?"

Zhou Xing paused, then nodded firmly, "I will."

"Forget it, I misjudged the person." Wang Tianci said angrily, "It turns out that you are also an extremely selfish person."

"Who in this world is not selfish?" Zhou Xing didn't get angry, but said calmly, "You, Wang Tianci, are not selfish?"

"If it is beneficial to the imperial court and the world, why would my king spare this life?"

"Oh, then since you don't like Shen Xiu's troubles in the government, why don't you kill him?" Zhou Xing asked back, "Don't say that your cultivation level is not as good as the other party's. Whether you can kill him or not is two different things. "

"I..." Wang Tianci opened his mouth when he heard the words, but was speechless.

"Are you trying to say that my own life is nothing to worry about, but there are thousands of people in the Wang family, so you can't be impulsive and implicate them?" Zhou Xing said for him what he was thinking, "You said you are Isn't it selfish?"

"But Shen Xiu's messing around will really lead Da Jin to a road of no return. This will affect everyone's life. Are you indifferent to this?"

"Oh, will the world really be messed up by Shen Xiu?" As a person from another world, he actually does not agree with the Jiupin Zhongzheng System in his bones, but agrees with Shen Xiu's point of view even more.

"There will be chaos, I can even guess what Shen Xiu's next move will be." Wang Tianci said with certainty, "The next step is to let the Son of Heaven give way to King Zhao, Shen Xiu will be appointed as Xiangguo, and comprehensively reform the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. "

"Could it be that this will cause chaos in the world?" Zhou Xingxin said, wouldn't this be good.

"Look at Zhang Bu and others promoted by Shen Xiu." Wang Tianci couldn't help but paused when he mentioned the name, and suddenly raised Zhou's voice to make it clearer for the outside to hear, "Once he got power, he ran amok, and there was nothing in his eyes." The rules are based on one's own temperament and Shen Xiu's will. If this kind of people are all officials in the future, the world will not be in chaos."

"What did Zhang Bu do these days to make you so angry." Zhou Xing couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's like this." Wang Tianci seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, and began to talk to Zhou Xing in a rambling manner.

Zhou Xing sat there quietly and listened to Wang Tianci, talking about the court system and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.He was just the most ordinary city nerd in the previous world. The education he received since he was a child was criticized without exception in the books he read since he was a child. The imperial examination system is the best.

But after listening to Wang Tianci's remarks about the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, he was surprised to find that it was not unreasonable.But as a traveler of the future world, even if he feels that what the other party said is reasonable, he still firmly believes that the system of the world he came from is the direction, the correctness, and the science.

"Heavenly, let me ask you, why should there be a family background? Meat eaters are contemptible, and they are not good enough to do things. I heard that Emperor Wu of Zhou insisted on meritocracy before. Isn't that very good? Jiupin Zhongzheng insists on family background, and puts Family background ranks first. This is the blatant Zhou Clan monopoly, and this is the greatest injustice. It is precisely because of this unfairness that Shen Xiu and the others think about reform. Those who come from poor families can only be subjugated to the lower class. Don’t you people from Zhou families notice this?”

"No one's family can be established overnight, and no one's family can become the Zhou family overnight." Wang Tianci did not pause in the face of Zhou Xing's doubts, and said eloquently: "Our Jinyang Wang family counted Zhou in the pre-Shang period. Is it a door? Is it a noble? In the post-Shang period, it was not a Zhou family, nor was it after the founding of the country. People, living in this world, living in this society, he is not alone, he does not jump out of a stone Yes, he has interests. If he is really a person, like Zhang Bu, one of the three heroes of Hongdu. He only lost his life for a heinous crime. If he killed one person and lost his own life, then if he killed ten people and killed a hundred people, he would only lose his own life. One time of evil, he was sentenced to be cut in half. Do ten The second evil is also sentenced to be cut in half, isn't this just to encourage him to do more evil? Anyway, there is no compensation, and the rest is earned."

"Zhou Xing, look at me again. I also want to assassinate Shen Xiu just like you, and I am willing to sacrifice my own life. But why can't I do this? Because I have a family, because I have parents , There are brothers and sisters, there are thousands of people in our Jinyang Wang family, I need to take all of this into consideration, I can't just because of my personal impulse or personal wish, let the thousands of people who have lived together since childhood Sent to the butcher's knife."

Wang Tianci talked about these things endlessly, because he actually couldn't understand why since he was a child. All these are the words his great-grandfather Wang Rong gave him every day to solve his doubts.

"Godsend you to remember that family background is not only necessary, but also must be the first of the three. Whether you understand this point or not, it must not be changed in the future. This is the foundation of maintaining social stability." Wang Rong Rong finally emphasized this sentence to him under his question.

Zhou Xing opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say that the sitting system is inhumane and should be abolished, but after all, he is not the kind of person who just pursues verbal arguments with the other party. He knows that this is the case in this era.He could only swallow the words in his stomach.He was just an ordinary nerd, and he suddenly realized that he was not an opponent at all when debating the system with someone like Wang Tianci who had received a good systematic education since childhood.He also wanted to talk about the separation of powers, what democratic elections, what parliamentarians, and what parliaments, but such things suddenly popped up for no reason. After careful investigation, he couldn't tell what was wrong. , On the contrary, it is very bad.

Thinking like this, as a time traveler, he couldn't help but become a little annoyed.

"I am a person who has traveled through the era of great technological development in the future. If you have more knowledge, you don't know thousands of years. How can you lose in talking about it?"

"Zhang Bu's situation does exist. But it's not because he and Shen Xiu have been suppressed for too long, so resentment has turned into hatred, and he acts without scruples."

"How can life be smooth and smooth?" Wang Tianci looked at Zhou Xing and said earnestly: "Yang Taifu said in the past that life is unsatisfactory, and there are nine out of ten times. It is the children of the Zhou family in our aristocratic family. Which one can act perfectly?" According to your own wishes? Let alone my sister Wang Tianyun. Why did she run away from home again and again? If everything is going well at home, how could she run away from home?"

"Let's change our thinking." Seeing that he was gradually losing ground, Zhou Xing decided to avoid the truth, and then changed the subject: "Look at the shortcomings of the Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng System? It is impossible for you to think that the Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng System is just Perfect."

"Nine-rank Zhongzheng system is of course not perfect." Wang Tianci frowned slightly, he didn't realize that Zhou Xingqi used sophistry tricks, and still said seriously: "It's still like Shen Xiu. In fact, Shen Xiu has such a character, many people have already known it. You can see clearly. He can only be an official, but not an important position in the court. This person is mean and ungrateful, remembers evil and forgets good. Shen Xiu's character is rated as low-grade. Zhou Xing, you can say nothing. If his character is rated as low-grade, no one will hire this person in his life. But Shen Xiu heard the news at the first time, and ran to Lord Zhongzheng’s mansion said that if he was designated as inferior today, he would risk his life to avenge today’s hatred. Then Zhongzheng was finally afraid, he was afraid that his descendants would be retaliated by Shen Xiu in the future, and finally determined his character as The middle grade. The real character is good, but sometimes it is suppressed by some bad Zhongzheng. But the real character is like Shen Xiu, most Zhongzheng are afraid that people with such character have no bottom line in doing things, and even subtle evil If you want to take revenge and think about yourself, you dare not judge his character as inferior. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. For a long time, the evaluation of people with good character and bad character is almost the same , this is very bad."

Zhou Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that he could finally fight back.

"So, this is a typical rule of man." At this moment, he finally felt that he had some wisdom in his hands, and finally regained some sense of superiority of a time traveler.

"Rule by man?" Wang Tianci was really confused, "Is there still a society that doesn't need people to govern?"

"The country should be governed by law, not by people." Now it is Zhou Xing's turn to speak eloquently, "Everything must have a system, and everything must have laws."

"But Da Jin also has a detailed "Jin Law"." Wang Tianci was still puzzled.

"This "Law of Jin" is different from what I said." Zhou Xing said confidently: "It's still the example you mentioned. Yes, everyone is afraid of offending villains, and everyone is not afraid of offending gentlemen. When you meet someone like Shen Xiu, whoever you replace as Zhongzheng will have a headache. If you act impartially, Shen Xiu will definitely retaliate. If you don’t act impartially, why do you need Zhongzheng? Therefore, the human factor must be removed. "

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Examination, unified examination." Zhou Xing said firmly, "National unified examination, open, fair and just selection of talents. All people, regardless of Zhou's family, are equal before the examination."

Zhou Xing originally thought that the other party would be like seeing a new world when he heard his words, but he never expected that Wang Tianci on the other side frowned even more.

"At the time of the Great Zhou you mentioned, an ancestor of my Wang family wrote a proposal to the imperial court in a systematic way. As you said, the national unified examination should be used to select talents." Wang Tianci said Zhou Xing's expectations were rejected, "But the result of the court debate later was that using this method would make society worse."

"How is that possible?" Zhou Xing was a little impatient. He said in his heart that this was a choice made by generations to come, and it had been proven by history. Do you Zhou family disciples just want to monopolize everything?

Wang Tianci shook his head and said, "Let me ask you a question, what is the purpose of the official position established by this country?"

This time it was Zhou Xing's turn to be stunned.He thought for a while, and then he said something that he thought was extremely correct: "In order to better serve the people."

When Wang Tianci heard his words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he clapped his hands and burst out laughing.After a long time, he patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said: "Zhou Xing, what you said is very good. I said that you are not ordinary people, you are not the kind of extremely selfish people. To serve the people, This sentence is really condensed too well.”

"That's right, the world belongs to the people of the world, and the power of this official position is naturally determined by the people."

"Okay, well said." Wang Tianci smiled even more when he heard his words, "The power of the official position is determined by the people. Then let me ask you a question. If you say that you pass the exam to get the official position, then who decides the official position?" ? Who does it serve?"

As soon as Wang Tianci said this, it was like a flash of lightning out of thin air, shocking Zhou Xing into a daze on the spot.

Could it be that I, a dignified traveler, was wrong?
Is the system of later generations wrong?
For a while, he felt that he couldn't accept it no matter what.

After Shi Chong came out of Situ's mansion, he entered Huainan Wang's mansion again.

Just now in Situ's mansion, he met Situ Wang Rong very smoothly, but he just let him talk about it, Wang Rong's old fox's Tai Chi was flawless, but he said at the end: "Nephew, you can go Take a look at King Huainan."

No matter who Shi Chong was, he immediately understood the meaning of what Wang Rong said.He was born with seven apertures and exquisite heart, otherwise the business would not be so big.He knew in his heart that since Wang Rong was willing to meet him, he was showing his attitude, otherwise he might not even be able to enter the gate of Situ Mansion.

The deposed prince Huangfu Yu was dead, and Empress Jia and King Yuzhang were deposed, and Shi Chong knew in his heart that with Shen Xiu as a person, Empress Jia and King Yuzhang would definitely die soon.Although it was King Zhao who took the lead in this matter, even though King Zhao was also the royal family of the Huangfu family, after all, he was a few generations behind. In terms of closeness, it was never the turn of King Zhao to assist the government.

The most qualified person in the world to assist the emperor and the still very young grandson Huangfu Zang is Huainan King Huangfu Yun.This was something that everyone in the Jin Dynasty could not deny, even King Zhao and Shen Xiu could not deny it, otherwise King Huainan would have been sent back to his Huainan country long ago.
