The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1184

[Chapter 1184: Feudal System]

“Your Majesty, although I have a rough solution, I still need to think about how to do it for a while. I will tell you about the rough solution now.”

After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian spoke to the emperor. This time, Lin Tian did not beat around the bush.

Because Lin Tian understood that his family had already thought of a solution, he would probably tell the emperor sooner or later. If he hesitated, he might make the emperor unhappy. When

the emperor heard what Lin Tian said, he didn’t say much, but just nodded slightly, and then motioned Lin Tian to continue.

“Your Majesty, do you know what the system implemented by the late emperor is?”

Seeing the emperor nod, Lin Tian did not directly tell his own solution, but first asked the emperor a question.

The emperor heard Lin Tian’s question, then lowered his head and thought about it, but he didn’t think of it, because the late emperor didn’t tell the emperor. In the end, the emperor could only helplessly shake his head at Lin Tian, indicating that he didn’t know.

“Your Majesty, the system implemented by the late emperor is called the feudal system. The late emperor was not the first person to implement this system. It may be found in the history of other countries, but it may not be found in the history of Yan State.”

After seeing the emperor shaking his head, Lin Tian continued to speak to the emperor.

“Oh?”

The emperor also gave Lin Tian a certain response at the right time, indicating that he was listening carefully to Lin Tian’s story.

“I was also lucky enough to read that famous historical book, but it only mentioned it briefly and did not describe this system in detail.

According to the records in that document, that was a country with a territory many times larger than ours. After their monarchs achieved great unification, they applied this system to manage the territory below.

They established an emperor, who was the ruler of a country and the supreme being in the country. The emperor’s eldest son was the so-called crown prince, whom they called the Son of Heaven. He was the only candidate to succeed the emperor. The Son of Heaven could also be established. If the emperor felt that the Son of Heaven was lacking in ability, he could establish other sons as the Son of Heaven.

Only the sons born to the emperor’s wife could be established as the Son of Heaven, and the sons born to other concubines could only be called illegitimate sons. Although the Son of Heaven and the illegitimate son were both sons of the emperor, the illegitimate son did not inherit the throne. The emperor’s throne.

After the emperor inherited the throne, the illegitimate sons could only be called princes, and then they could have their own titles, their own territories, and guard one part of the country’s territory.

The emperor had the right to command or summon these princes, and these princes must obey the emperor’s orders. Although they had the right to have their own army, they must also obey the emperor’s orders.

If the emperor asked them to attack other countries or defend their own countries, they could only obey unconditionally and could not refuse the emperor’s orders. They could even establish their own countries, in which the country’s management system could not obey the emperor, and the emperor would not care about their affairs.

Your Majesty, this is the so-called feudal system. “

Lin Tian continued to explain to the emperor, and only roughly talked about the content of this system.

When the emperor heard Lin Tian introduce the feudal system to him, his eyes lit up. He found that many of them were very similar to the system implemented by Yan State, and some of them could even be said to be perfectly copied.

“Then in the eyes of Minister Lin, what is this system like?”

After listening to Lin Tian’s introduction, the emperor also expressed his doubts.

“Your Majesty, you will know after listening to me.

When this large country first implemented this system, it did make the country very rich, but it also led to the dispersion of the king’s power. At the end of the country, although part of it was due to the incompetence of the last generation of the king of this country.

But more of it was because the strength of these vassal states was too strong, and it seemed to have surpassed the strength of this monarch. Among them, the large vassal states, their military strength was even rich enough to rival a country, so they began to think about rebellion.

In the end, these vassal states began to annex those small vassal states, and then under the pretext of using the king to command the vassal states, they also annexed other vassal states. In the end, there were still resistance from other vassal states, and they became the last vassal states to split apart.

These vassal states are among the vassal states. In the end, a long-term war was formed, just like the modern Eastern countries. These countries fought each other. The big vassal states even had the strength of a country, while the small vassal states only had the strength of a city.

However, despite this, they naturally fought each other and did not want to be annexed by other vassal states. This big country was no longer in name. It was still a country, but it had been split into many countries, and became a state of loose sand.

At the same time, this was also a problem that Your Majesty was worried about. He might even suspect that the vassal states would rebel, and by then their strength would even exceed the existence of the two countries. “

Lin Tian continued to speak to the emperor, and had already roughly explained the entire feudal system to the emperor, and then he also told the emperor about the fate of the country that implemented the feudal system.

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor also understood the reason why Lin Tian said so, which was to let him know the disadvantages of this system, and even wanted him to change this system.

“This…”

Although Huang Sha didn’t know whether the example cited by Lin Tian was true, the emperor believed that since Lin Tian said so, there was no need for him not to believe it. After thinking about it, the emperor also agreed with the result of the country described by Lin Tian.

In fact, he couldn’t help but not believe it, because it was too easy to figure out. In addition, this big country implemented a feudal system, and it was very likely to split into many countries in the end, and even threaten the existence of the original big country.

The emperor finally figured it out. He should indeed change this system. Only in this way can his throne be guaranteed to a certain extent. What Lin Tian didn’t know was that the emperor didn’t think so in his heart.

The emperor was thinking that if there was any possibility of threatening his throne, he would strangle it in the cradle.

“Then in your opinion, Lord Lin, what do I need to do to completely solve this problem?”

Although the emperor already understood the solution, he still asked Lin Tian.
