Chapter 86 Changes in the Northern Situation
The Zhou emperor was also a descendant of Xuanyuan and had the orthodox Ji surname, so why didn't he dare to call himself the emperor of mankind?
Or it is because, his contribution to the world is really not that great - Emperor Yu’s family controlled floods, sorted out mountains and rivers, and demarcated the Nine Provinces. Although the Shang Dynasty came much later, his ancestor was Yao’s younger brother, and was a meritorious official who followed Emperor Yu in controlling floods.

Therefore, Shang dared to call himself the Emperor of Man.

But Zhou did not have such great achievements.

It was just the overthrow of King Zhou of Shang.

Ji Hao calls himself "the direct descendant of the Human Emperor", but sometimes it seems a bit empty. The title is borrowed, so you have to repay it with some achievements, right?

Otherwise, even if there is time travel, who knows whether we can meet our ancestors after death.

If he didn't have any achievements at that time, would he be beaten? He didn't know!
So, he also wanted to do something.

One is the growth of the Chinese nation, and the other is to create true "eternal peace" - maybe it won't be real peace, but he also wants to reduce all conflicts to the level of brothers fighting each other.

Let things like "foreign enemies" and "rebellion" no longer exist from the root!
It also makes future generations, and every person who ascends the throne, feel uneasy, knowing that they may be overthrown at any time, and thus govern the world well!

"I have an idea, that is, the royal family must be raised in poverty, and experience the sufferings of the world from a young age, and experience the sufferings of all classes, only then will they be qualified to ascend to the top, the position of 'Human Emperor'!" Ji Hao said: "They can not learn martial arts, nor can they learn literature, but they must understand this world. Only those who can rule a place can rule the world, and only those who can pacify one place are qualified to try to pacify the world!"

Regarding the issue of succession, it is impossible to say that he has no selfish motives.

Otherwise, just move directly to the "modern" system.

He also limited the inheritance rights to his own bloodline, and whether it was his son or daughter's descendants, they must be his descendants.

But with this selfishness, how will future generations develop?

He did not want to establish a "Later Zhou" that would only last a few hundred years, nor did he have enough ability to create true "eternal immortality", so he could only transition from feudalism to society within his own cognition.

This is the only thing he can do.

Therefore, the system that confers inheritance rights by having a bit of blood connection is, strictly speaking, the loosening of the imperial power - according to the rules of intermarriage in the old times, after ten generations at most, everyone will have more or less blood connection with him.

Among the noble families of the Han Dynasty, which one of them did not have an ancestor whose "mother" was a princess of the Liu family?
In this case, when everyone has the right of inheritance in the future, the system of family election will transition to election by the whole country, and it will eventually evolve into the system of "modern" society.

As for what happened after that, whether it was good or bad, he was too lazy to ask.

You can't worry about it for that long!
"But in this way, if someone rebels, it will be justified!" said Lu Bu.

"If the rebellion is not justified, won't anyone rebel? To put it bluntly, whether the world is peaceful or not depends on how the upper class governs. If the common people are well fed and well clothed, who would be willing to risk being beheaded to rebel?" Ji Hao said: "Even if the rebellion is justified, it will eventually be suppressed. No one is willing to do so unless they cannot survive."

He didn't know whether his idea would work, but at least he could start doing it while he was still alive.

"Of course, some details still need to be carefully considered, such as how much it would cost to remove the incompetent emperor, how much power the prime minister would have to divert, how the royal family members in charge of the assessment would ensure fairness, and so on." Ji Hao added: "In general, they are my own children, so I must train and hone them in my own way. I am already preparing. If you take Lingqi's son away and train him in your way, he will probably only be a general in the end, and will never have a chance to be an emperor, or even a chance to be in politics!"

Having said that, he looked at Lu Bu.

He smiled and said, “What do you think?”

Lu Bu's face instantly darkened when he heard this.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Ji Hao treated him as a provincial governor and didn't regard him as an enemy at all.

"I think that if I conquer the world, he will be the future emperor!" said Lu Bu.

In response, Ji Hao said three words: "Is it possible?" "Who do you look down on?"

Lu Bu was furious and fought with Ji Hao for another three hundred rounds.

However, he discovered that when they put aside their horses and fought on foot, the gap between him and Ji Hao was so huge: he had only practiced horse stance, and did not know any of the "light Kung Fu" in the martial arts world. Faced with all kinds of wall-climbing skills, he was completely blind.

Completely lost my temper.

"I don't care about anything else. You have such great abilities, you can't favor one over the other!" said Lu Bu.

This was his last bit of stubbornness.

Ji Hao had no objection to this, and said with a smile: "As long as it is something I know, I will naturally teach my children if they want to learn it. Experiencing hardships does not affect learning skills. How can you grow up in hardship without any skills?"

He decided to raise his children in poverty so that they could enter the world and experience suffering.

But I don’t want my children to become peasants.

Ordinary people in Qingzhou are undergoing "compulsory education", so how can his children not learn skills?

"Okay, let's put it this way!" Lu Bu said, got up and mounted his horse, and said, "Yuan Shao has already taken over Xiliang and occupied Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Liangzhou, four continents. He is recruiting soldiers and horses, and wants to form a million-strong army to attack you and me. The war will start soon. Liu Bei has recruited Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, the former governor of Xiliang, and wants to form the 'Five Tiger Generals' to deal with you. If you fight against them, you must not face the enemy alone and take unnecessary risks!"

This made Ji Hao smile and said, "Are you worried that I'll die in battle?"

"I just don't want Lingqi to be a widow!"

……

The two went their separate ways without fighting.

On the one hand, according to Lu Bu's intention, he did not want to waste time with his son-in-law. This was also the reason why Ji Hao was determined to get rid of Lu Lingqi even if he had to snatch her away by force.

Some people don’t care about marriage, but some people do.

Lu Bu is the latter.

He was the kind of person who would tie his daughter on his back and break through the desperate situation at Baimen Tower. He was completely different from Liu Bei and Liu Bang, who could easily abandon their own sons and push their wives out of the car with their own hands.

Overall, more like Xiang Yu.

Some directors' casting choices are pretty good.

On the other hand, Lu Bu could not go to war with Ji Hao at this time: he was directly bordering Yuan Shao and was facing the greatest pressure. If he was attacked from both sides at this time, he would be completely finished.

He had no confidence at all in defeating Ji Hao, so he had to build a city and garrison there.

With Yuan Shao added to the mix, they were simply unable to cope with it.

"Ma Chao collapsed too quickly. Xiliang has been taken by Yuan Shao. Since ancient times, Bingzhou and Xiliang have been home to powerful armies. Yuan Shao has three officials for four generations and has a deep foundation. His strength is expanding rapidly!" After Ji Hao returned, he immediately went to the southeast of Yuzhou and joined Guo Jia and Zhao Yun and said, "We must deal with Dongwu as soon as possible and concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao. Otherwise, with Lu Bu's strength alone, I'm worried that he will not be a match for Yuan Shao!"
