The confrontation between Superman and Luthor will never end, because Superman represents the ultimate citizen, enough to break the rules of the aristocratic game. Under such circumstances, Luthor must use any means necessary to kill Superman.

In the DC universe, some of the results of the confrontation between Superman and Luthor are reflected. One is to lord Superman and move towards the empire. One is an unjust superman who becomes a tyrant. One way is to send Luther to prison and continue to maintain the original balance.

The nobles were helpless when facing the strong men among the citizens.

In fact, all civilizations began with nobles, citizens, and free people. Called differently, it can also be a noble, a countryman, or a savage.

For example, in an island country, there are nobles, warriors, and free people. But in the end, the samurai came to power, and the samurai replaced the aristocrats and became the actual managers of the country. That is, the samurai were at the top and the aristocrats were at the bottom, forming the Bushido. If nobles want to join the game, they must also abide by bushido.

Of course, no matter what the situation is, you will eventually enter the feudal system.

The feudal system gave free people the opportunity to become citizens, because as long as the citizens were enfeoffed, they became aristocrats. Then they also needed their own citizens, and they would naturally select some from the free people.

Before the enfeoffment, there was only one line between nobles, citizens and free people. After the enfeoffment, it was divided into several lines, including multiple nobles, multiple citizens, and free people.

After enfeoffment, the new nobles could take the freedmen to war and upgrade the freedmen to become citizens.

This is also the reason why Rome quickly entered the era of giants after the Marian Reform of Rome, because more citizens would emerge from various places, and the nobles took control of the newly emerged citizens and gained power, and began to become vassals.

For example, in the Yin and Shang era, only Yin merchants were citizens, and the princes and barbarians were free citizens. By the time of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people and the princes were all citizens, and the barbarians were free people. These newly emerged citizens were not in the hands of the emperor of Zhou, but in the hands of the various princes. In the end, the power of the princes surpassed that of the emperor.

Such a feudal system was very conducive to expansion, because citizens wanted to become princes through meritorious service, and free people also wanted to become citizens through war.

Therefore, both the Zhou Dynasty and ancient Rome expanded during the feudal system.

However, once there is no way to expand, the nobility, citizens, and free people will not change. This reflects the king's ability. How should the king do it? Should he work with the nobles to suppress the citizens and free people? Or should he win over the nobles and citizens against the free people? Or should he win over the citizens and free people against the nobles.

Qin's Shang Yang's reform was to mobilize citizens and free people to fight against the nobility, but it also needed expansion. In the Han Dynasty, the king and the nobles cooperated to win over the citizens. In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations allowed citizens to disperse the nobility, and then the king continued to win over free people. In the Qing Dynasty, slave status was completely eliminated and everyone became a good citizen, further intensifying the impact.

In other countries, kings did not have this ability at all. In ancient Rome, the nobles cooperated with citizens and did not give the king face. The island country also cooperated with samurai and nobles and did not give face to the emperor.

The tsar wanted to win over the free people, and even became the 'father of the peasants', but no time was waiting for him. The nobility soon seized industrial power, and the Tsar could not stop it.

It was a very difficult step from enfeoffment to monarchy. Many countries had kings, but the kings were unable to mobilize the middle and lower classes. Therefore, we can only maintain the feudal system, which consists of a group of princes, and each prince has citizens and free people in his hands.

There is no need for the princes to integrate citizens and free people. Fusion will not be beneficial to him. The legitimacy of the princes is to provide benefits to the citizens, and then the citizens can defend the princes.

Just like in "Cao GUI's Discussion on War", Cao GUI said that meat eaters are despicable, and asked the king of Lu why he wanted to fight? The king said that he did not dare to enjoy the delicious food and drink alone, so he gave it to others. Every time I offer sacrifices, I am on time. Finally, let’s talk about large and small cases. Although we cannot clearly examine them one by one, they must be decided in good faith.

Cao GUI said that if the princes have delicious food, they can only share it with the people around them. Those who cannot get food will not help, and no matter how timely the sacrifice is, the gods will not appear. Only the last big or small case can be decided in good faith and the people of the country can support it.

If the monarch has a bad attitude towards the citizens, is not sincere enough, and cannot protect the interests of the citizens, then the citizens will not support the monarch.

It can be said that every country is similar at the beginning, whether it is nobles, citizens, free people, nobles, countrymen or savages, they are all very similar.

After that, the role of the king made each country different. In many countries, what can represent everyone is religion, and everyone is equal before God. In the Central Plains, everyone is equal before the emperor. In the whole world, it is not the king who leads the land, nor is it the king's ministers. The emperor represents everyone. With this qualification, the emperor can continuously mobilize the middle and lower classes, step by step from the common master to the king and father. Step by step, the nobles' land rights, talent rights, and part of the economic rights were concentrated in their own hands.

However, even the king's father could not manage such a large country by himself, so the emperor set up a sophisticated management system. But in the end, the management system was established, and the king's father had to integrate himself into it and become a part of the machine. .

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty controlled the management system through surveillance agencies such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang, while the emperors of the Qing Dynasty integrated into the system and cultivated their own factions, thus forming the Manchu-Han conflict.

Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not go to court, but the emperor of the Qing Dynasty worked every day. In fact, the fact that the Ming Dynasty emperors did not go to court did not mean that they did not do things. Their time was spent on Jinyiwei and Dongchang. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty worked every day, and most of the time he just looked at the stipends sent by his faction to see if there was any situation in various places. Most of the time, he just looked at the memorials that were worthless.

To sum up, the feudal system is easy to use when expanding. The noble was willing to allow more free people to become citizens through expansion, and then he recruited the citizens to form a powerful force to fight against the king.

When there is no expansion, a king who can mobilize the middle and lower classes is only one in a million. Many people want to do it but can't. Without the support of institutions and culture, it is difficult for the king to fight against all the nobles.

Western kings are looking for religion to consolidate their status through the divine right of kings, but their exploration of institutions and culture is standing still. The king of the Central Plains is constantly exploring the content of the system and culture, and constantly looking for the power to mobilize the middle and lower classes.

If the king of the Central Plains does not make progress, it means that 'Your Majesty will rule the world together with the scholar-officials, not with the people.' In order to suppress the scholar-officials, new talents must be constantly selected, otherwise they will be manipulated by the scholar-officials.

However, although the king selects middle- and lower-level talents, there is one problem that the king cannot solve, and that is whether to protect the king's power or the dynasty. Which is more important, his own throne or the country. Many times you choose your own throne.

Just like Temujin, he knew his son could fight, but he could not continue to let his son fight because his son threatened him.

The same goes for the king, who knows that a certain minister is more capable than himself and can solve the problem, but the king cannot let him solve it, because if the problem is solved, the reputation of this minister will be higher than his own, and the throne will be lost. But if the problem is not solved, the dynasty will not be preserved.

So in the end the king was overthrown, so that the entire management system was consistent with the interests of the country, and ministers who had the ability to solve problems had room without being restricted by the king.

From Superman we can see the differences between the East and the West and the history of Westerners. Superman is a super citizen, a person who can break the rules, but what will a citizen do after he has the ability? Superman's works give different answers, but none of them mobilize the middle and lower classes.

Whether it is becoming a monarch, becoming a tyrant, or maintaining order, it all existed in Western history.

In fact, Superman can also expand and then implement the enfeoffment system. Or mobilize middle- and lower-level talents to represent everyone. In this case, this should be the co-owner Superman, the king-father superman, or the feudal superman, or the emperor superman.
