"If Your Majesty must go to the north, then let the prince supervise the country!" Qi Hongyi frowned and said to her husband Wei Ze.

Wei Zeden was dumbfounded, and this gaffe lasted for more than ten seconds before Wei Ze spoke: "Dear! Am I living ...... now and can't take care of myself because of illness? ”

"Nope!" Qi Hongyi frankly answered the question of her emperor's husband.

"So have our children grown up?" Weeser continued.

"Nope!" Qi Hongyi continued to answer calmly.

After asking two questions in a row, and getting answers that were very factual to the facts, Wei Ze finally asked: "That prince and Qiu Mao country!" ”

"No, Your Majesty. You have to set up a prince before you can have the prince in charge of the country. Qi Hongyi said with a realistic attitude that only a mother can have.

At least at this moment, Wei Ze suddenly understood the mood of the poor literati who made up the "Three Platforms and Five Constants", in the face of a wife who knew him, sometimes the husband really wanted to gain absolute dominance. Because from the perspective of his mother, or from the perspective of his wife who has an absolute say in housework, Wei Ze cannot deny the justice of his wife Qi Hongyi.

But Wei Ze is Wei Ze after all, and he still regained the calm that a leader should have. After pondering for a moment, Wei Ze asked, "Can I understand it like this, you want your eldest son to be canonized as the crown prince." ”

The eldest son is naturally Qi Hongyi's son, and after listening to her husband's words, Qi Hongyi sneered, "Your Majesty, according to tradition, it is long past now to canonize the crown prince." ”

Before Wei Ze could come up with any response, Qi Hongyi raised a beautiful eyebrow, "Oh, by the way, I have to explain that the Barbarian Manchus don't do this." But the traditional Chinese dynasties are all such a model. ”

Faced with such a rational statement, Wei Ze was speechless for a while. His wife is a historian, if Wei Ze still had the ability to debate history a few years ago, now Qi Hongyi's historical knowledge is not comparable to Wei Ze at all. She had already read through the twenty-four histories several times, and the depth of this knowledge was not at all something that Wei Ze, who was busy with practical work all day, could memorize.

Looking at Wei Ze's speechless expression, Qi Hongyi chuckled, "Your Majesty wouldn't think about saying that the concubines were behind, right?" ”

At present, the style and language of the new government are "advanced" and "revolutionary", and conservative and backward are negative words. Being robbed like this, Wei Ze thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I think I'm worse than you now, so I want to push me down on the bed!" ”

"Haha!" Qi Hongyi laughed, "The concubine is about to be forty years old, and it is not bad to give birth to a girl as soon as possible." Then I have to work hard. ”

Equality between men and women is not good, women can completely ignore men's feelings, and regard boys as a sowing tool, after all, women have a strong urge to have children after the age of thirty, and this kind of thing is a natural program written in the DNA, and an engineering dog like Wei Ze can't ignore it if he wants to.

"I said kiss......" Wei Ze was ready to reason with his wife.

"You're going to say honey!" Qi Hongyi corrected.

Wei Zeden was speechless, and it took more than ten seconds before he spoke: "...... I said, dear, are you in such a hurry to let your child become the prince? Do you think I'm going to engage in feudal inheritance? ”

"The feudal system perfectly conforms to the relationship between human beings based on their own blood and kinship, distance and proximity. What's so bad. If you look at the feudal monarchs of Europe, the priority of succession is not necessarily native. Qi Hongyi said frankly.

European monarchs are virtuous about this bird, and the right of inheritance depends on calculation. When monarchs of various countries intermarried, foreign crown princes often had higher inheritance rights than their own nobles. Just like the present King of Prussia and his cousins of the Russian Emperor. Weeser has read a passage in "Bismarck" that goes like this, Wilhelm I is 90 years old, Bismarck wrote an expository essay about the Three Emperors Alliance, Wilhelm I, Wilhelm I forcibly recited it with extraordinary perseverance. When receiving his nephew, Tsar Alexander II of Russia, William I explained the relationship of the Three Emperors very thoroughly in an orderly manner, which made Alexander II admire his uncle incomparably.

"What do you mean, I have to marry another Austrian princess!" Weser couldn't help but scoff.

However, this ridicule obviously did not work, China is different from the Catholic monogamy in Europe, and Qi Hongyi does not quite understand the meaning of marrying an Austrian princess. I don't understand that Weeser used Napoleon I's meme of forcibly marrying an Austrian princess as his wife.

Of course, Qi Hongyi felt the malice of her husband's ridicule, and she smiled: "If you have to marry, what can I do." ”

This is also something that Wei Ze is a little unhappy about, if he marries a woman he can like in the 21st century, it is estimated that the other party will be able to understand the extremely rich "malice" in Wei Ze's words, but it is too difficult for a girl in the 19th century to make her have the characteristics of a girl in the 21st century. At least in the 21st century, when Wei Ze joked with his sister, when he talked about "his wisdom is within reach, but his stupidity is unreachable", the sister can also discuss the true meaning of the Analects with Wei Ze. Although I think about it now, Wei Ze and his sister in the 21st century are at the level of half a bottle of water.

Although his wife is not so knowledgeable, it is still no problem to tell the truth. Wei Ze said frankly to Qi Hongyi: "If I let my son inherit all the authority, it is not because he is my son. I don't care if the heirs are male or female, the first thing to achieve is that they have the ability. The world of the future will not be a world in which the incompetent will do whatever they want. Incompetence itself is a sin, and if you have the ability to be an ordinary person, then go and live the life of an ordinary person. If you have the ability to be a professional, you will live the life of a professional. If I have the ability to be a leader, I will not turn a blind eye to those who are capable. But I will definitely not give power to an incompetent. ”

Regarding Wei Ze's arrogance, Qi Hongyi knows better than others. When she and Wei Ze got married, Wei Ze had already shown many signs of this. For example, Qi Hongyi knew very well that Wei Ze's goal in life was by no means to be a capable little brother of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, but to become the leader of China and the emperor of China.

The husband and wife have also discussed the issue of heirs more than once, explicitly or implicitly, and Wei Ze said this at the time. People who start their own businesses often look down on their children, not because they don't love their children, but because they can't understand why failure can break a person so easily.

Qi Hongyi has gradually understood and grasped Wei Ze's arrogance over the years, failure is not terrible at all in Wei Ze's opinion, failure is the norm. But if failure makes a person lose confidence in himself, lose the confidence to continue to forge ahead, and lose the confidence to overcome difficulties, that kind of person is something that Wei Ze will not value.

In this era, this view was extremely rare, and it was with this belief that Wei Ze could eventually become the emperor of China.

So Qi Hongyi dared to tell the truth to Wei Ze, because telling the truth would not make Wei Ze unhappy. Qi Hongyi asked, "Then what kind of person will His Majesty like?" ”

"It's not that our son is hopeless, if our son has the ability, I will definitely give priority to him. But he's only a few years old now. I don't agree with the imposition of the imperial throne on him, I think whether a person wants to be an emperor or not, first of all, he can understand the meaning of the emperor. Or the kind of person who is born to know, he instinctively understands what he has to pay in order to be the emperor. Now I am vigorously saying that the status of the emperor is what I have gained, isn't this harming people! That's harming others and yourself! ”

For the sake of his son, if begging can work, Qi Hongyi will definitely beg. But for a guy like Wei Ze, begging can only backfire, so Qi Hongyi suppressed his unhappiness and reluctantly asked in a calm tone: "Then who does Your Majesty think can inherit the throne?" ”

Looking at his wife's beautiful face, Wei Ze was still a little unbearable in his heart, he eased his breath and said slowly: "I got this crown, did I ask others to put the crown on my head?" No, everyone wants me to be emperor for their own interests. And many people are still very disappointed, they originally thought that if I became the emperor, they would be able to make the king and marquis, and get a lot of privileges, but I really disappointed people who had such thoughts. Once the throne becomes what I ask others to give me, then I will become the emperor's slave, not the master of the throne like me. Wife, I don't know if you think it's important for a person to be an emperor, or if you think it's more important for a person to be your own master. I think it's more important for a person to be the master of himself. Even if you become an emperor, if you become a slave to the throne, what is the meaning of life? ”

The most unacceptable thing for Qi Hongyi is Wei Ze's attitude, a person who is so arrogant will make many people feel very unhappy. The supreme throne cannot satisfy one person, and it must be done to make everyone surrender. Qi Hongyi suddenly wondered, could it be that the founding kings were all such arrogant characters? Or is it just that Weeser has a different idea?

After talking to his wife, Wei Ze also felt suddenly relaxed. Regardless of the attitude of the central gang, Wei Ze has already decided to go to Beijing. Wei Ze's education since childhood is like this, the highest state of a person is to live to have a clear conscience. Although the details of a clear conscience itself still need to be discussed, a clear conscience itself cannot be questioned or shaken.

If he couldn't go to the four northern provinces to preside over the work, Wei Ze felt as uncomfortable as a thorn in his heart, and this was his idea. The work of the four northern provinces cannot be ignored, and the matter of moving the capital cannot be accepted by him for the time being. After all, this generation is different, and the importance of the South is unquestionable.
