Chapter 27 8. Speed ​​to death

After defeating Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu against the Wu Mei Niang Group, Li Zhi's next task is to destroy the Civil Service Group headed by Changsun Wuji. This civil servant group must be destroyed, it is too reactionary—in fact, it is too advanced.This civil service system is deeply rooted and has formed the parliament of the empire. Without the permission of the parliament, the emperor's ruling will not be effective.As early as when Li Shimin begged to make Li Zhi the crown prince, Changsun Wuji said: Whoever dares to object, I will kill him.In front of Li Shimin, he dared to speak like this, just because the civil service system has seriously weakened the imperial power.

Whether in theory or in practice, only an imperial power that is weakened, involved, and checked and balanced is more reasonable and easier to maintain long-term stability.But Li Zhi doesn't want long-term peace and order. What's the use of long-term peace and order?No matter how long you live in peace, it will never be more tempting than doing whatever you want. Furthermore, the reason why China created the imperial power system was not to achieve the harmonious development of the country and long-term peace and stability, but to satisfy the unstoppable desire of individual people.

But Li Zhi's imperial power is limited, he can't do whatever he wants—he can't do whatever he wants, which constitutes the greatest psychological pressure for human beings. There is pressure to be resolved. Get rid of the civil servants who are in the way, and do whatever you want. However, how can we solve the civil servant group? Li Zhi was ignorant of this, but fortunately he found Wu Meiniang, the backbone.So Wu Meiniang listened to the government behind the curtain, and launched a fierce attack on the civil service system as a reserve of Li Zhi. Speaking of offense, in fact, there is nothing offensive. It is nothing more than Li Zhi's steadfast determination to make Wu Meiniang his queen, regardless of people's livelihood and government affairs.The civil service group is desperately opposed.The reason for opposition is also ready-made: Wu Mei Niang was used by Taizong Li Shimin, and now Li Zhi uses it again, so you can use it, but is it necessary to make her a queen?This is actually equivalent to Li Zhi making a warm appeal to the people all over the world: Ladies and gentlemen, fathers and folks, I tell you a good news, brother Li Zhi, I am currently using a woman my father used... …Just thinking about this kind of thing gives people goosebumps.

Therefore, the civilian group firmly opposes it. Minister Chu Suiliang quarreled in the court hall and refused to obey him to death.At this time, Wu Meiniang, who was sitting behind the curtain, shouted loudly: Why not kill this beast? This sentence is in line with Wu Meiniang's character, but at the same time, it also reveals such a message: through many days of listening to politics behind the curtain, and many days of court disputes, Wu Meiniang has figured out the truth of imperial politics.Politics is nothing more than two sides quarreling and yelling, right and wrong are meaningless.It matters who has the loudest voice and who has more supporters - the most important thing is the number of supporters, and that means power.

The so-called power is nothing more than the number of ponies following you.The more followers you have, the more power you have.Power and power, if you have more followers behind you, you will naturally form a huge power, which will form a strong psychological pressure on others. The reason why the civil service system can successfully weaken the imperial power is that they have a large number of people.No matter who is right or wrong, with so many people yelling in unison, you have to admit the legitimacy of the other party. There is another characteristic of power: all power will eventually be divided.

Because power is established by the number of followers, and a large number of people means mud and sand, fish and dragons are mixed, which means that the struggle and criticism within the power organization are extremely fierce.The stability of power is directly proportional to its internal conflicts. The stronger the power, the more tragic the struggle within its organization. The most powerful power is dictatorship. In all dictatorship empires, there is no way that people will be killed and blood will flow like rivers.And the weakest power is interpersonal communication. In interpersonal relationship, you can't dictate to the people around you, and others can't treat you like this. Therefore, between relatives and friends, killing is not as frequent as royal power.

Power is a high-risk ecological phenomenon. The weaker the degree of power control, the more harmonious the living conditions of the people.Anyone who pursues power will inevitably be backlashed by power. But how could the heartless Li Zhi know these truths?He was like an old skinny horse under Wu Meiniang's crotch. Wu Meiniang whipped him, hit him with a hammer, and stabbed him with an iron awl. He could only close his eyes and rush forward like a madman. He rushed to the end of his life in one breath, closed his eyes, and died. He died at a really high time. At this time, he had already joined hands with Wu Meiniang to cut off the power of the North Korean official group. The old officials of Tuogu were either driven away or killed, and what was left was a world full of endless The imaginary power vacuum was all left to Wu Meiniang.

And if we look into the cause of Gaozong Li Zhi's death, we will easily find that Li Zhi's death was actually a sudden death - he discovered the existence of a power vacuum, and thought he would step into the pinnacle of power with his chest upright, but When I found that things were not as I thought, I was anxious, and fainting hysteria habitually broke out.However, after he passed out this time, he never woke up again, which was beyond his expectation again.
