At night, everything was ready, Mo Longxiang didn't send it, but went to Prince Gong's place, saying that he was playing chess with the old man.

"Do you know what I regret?" Prince Gong asked Mo Longxiang on the other side of the chessboard.

Mo Longxiang controlled the 'pawn', and was about to cross the river and stick next to Prince Gong's 'cannon', and said casually: "Didn't kill my grandfather? ”

Prince Gong laughed for a while, and easily transferred the 'cannon' on the verge of danger away, and said: "What I regret is that I took the throne. ”

Mo Longxiang looked up at Prince Gong, only to see Prince Gong then said: "Let me ask you, is there an inevitable relationship between the throne and power?" In fact, I was similar to King Hua at that time, and I was mentioned by my father to a position, what is the prime minister, of course, this official title was dismantled by your grandfather and became the prime minister of the political affairs hall and the cabinet minister, I sat in this position for a few years, and slowly felt the power authority. Later, my father found a little thing because he felt that I was threatening him, so he put me in a small position, but after I was idle, I had all over the world, including your grandfather, who had to be subject to me! ”

"Why?" Mo Longxiang asked with some confusion.

Because authority and position are never one thing! What you need is the right to speak and coordinate! The power of politics is the right to speak and the right to coordinate, and everything else is virtual. When I was in the position of prime minister, I made a system of staff subordinates, and all officials from the first rank and above can set up their own staff subordinate institutions, and this system is still adhered to by the empire, but you have changed it to be set up from the second rank. At that time, my staff had a power that the main officials of the three provinces and six ministries were all concurrently served by my staff, so nothing could be hidden from me, and after I was idle, a few old horsemen who came up didn't want to rectify my staff, but my staff's subordinates had become a net, and they couldn't do anything without me coordinating in the center. Every time they want to rectify my staff, I let other things break out and fester, so that they have to go back to governance, people's experience is limited, and after a long time, they will be lazy. ”

Speaking of this, Prince Gong smiled and drank a cup of tea, and then said: "You must remember that the biggest advantage of the children of the royal family is age, when we participate in the struggle for high-level authority, we are facing some old people, and after a long time, these old horsemen can only maintain a balance, and even on some big things, they can only listen to me." ”

"Instead of losing my power, my idleness has made me less constrained. I don't have to follow the rules, but they, as prime ministers, prime ministers, have to follow the rules. Remember, child, if you are in power, you have to divide power into several systems, do not subordinate to each other and check each other, do not set up a unified coordinating authority, and whether you use staff or other methods, position yourself as the core of coordination, so that you are the real emperor, not the one who sits on the throne, and everything cannot bypass you. Having said this, Mo Longxiang looked up at Prince Gong.

At this moment, Prince Gong is more like a wise man, after all, he was an emperor before, and this perspective of looking at the world makes Mo Longxiang feel interesting.

"Then I know why you regret ascending the throne!" Mo Longxiang used a 'cannon' to eat Prince Gong's 'phase' across the 'horse'.

"Oh you, you little red guy, hooked up with me to talk, and you were ruthless!" Prince Gong smiled and was about to move to change his 'appearance', but found that Mo Longxiang's 'car' on the other bank was staring at it.

"The righteousness of the country, the emperor's orthodoxy has no effect at all?" Mo Longxiang asked.

After Prince Gong's next move, he said: "It's useful, take the Three Kingdoms as an example, Cao Cao can make the princes if he has the Son of Heaven, provided that you are Cao Cao!" Warlords are fighting, and the so-called national righteousness will be useful, and it will increase the number of soldiers to the warlords. But if you are only Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, then the righteousness of the country is nothing more than three meals a day. ”

Prince Gong solved the 'car' that was eyeing him in an inconspicuous place, and Mo Longxiang saw this step and directly removed the 'cannon'.

"I thought about it at the time, let the unsuccessful Prince Liang inherit the unification, I continued to control behind the scenes, but the feeling of my father's reign and my brother's reign is different, as the old saying goes, the father is on top and the son is on the bottom, after all, it is impossible for my father to watch one son kill another son, so when my father dies, I am afraid that Prince Liang and your grandfather will join forces, and the emperor's position is indeed attractive, so he will ascend the throne."

Mo Longxiang asked wistfully, "That taste is really good!" ”

"You'll know when you sit down. Remember the word I just said? Prince Gong stared at Mo Longxiang.

"Follow the rules!" Mo Longxiang said.

Prince Gong nodded and said, "The emperor's rules are too many, too many. I used my staff to empty my father with rules, and when I arrived, your grandfather also used rules to encroach on my authority little by little. ”

"The rule is not to make the emperor use power better, how can it be ......"

"Childish! If the emperor wants to use his power better, he doesn't want any civil officials! It's okay to have an army, didn't your grandfather just use the army to make me Zen? Hahaha..."Speaking of this, Prince Gong laughed.

Although the two of them talked, they were not slow at all, and in an instant, there were not a few pieces left on the chessboard. Interestingly, Mo Longxiang's two 'pawns' crossed the river.

"Why did your grandfather move the capital after he ascended the throne, why did he do 'national system improvement', and why did it suddenly stop? It's all because of the rules. The reason for moving the capital is to get rid of the constraints of the rules, and the reform of the national system will change the rules to put it bluntly, and the reason why it has stopped is because we are seeing that new rules are about to be formed! Or rather, it makes him feel fearful. ”

Mo Longxiang stopped the chess piece in his hand and asked, "What will make Your Majesty afraid!" ”

"Great powers! The further down the reform, the more the Great Powers will interfere, and your grandfather will not be able to control the process of reform in the end, because the Great Powers are using their way to seize power! Through reformed policies, infiltrate the empire with your own power! Why did Ji Bin give office? It is because in Ji Bin's reform, he wanted to operate the emperor in the direction of the virtual head of state, and under the game of several parties, it became what it is today. Prince Gong's words surprised Mo Longxiang.

As Prince Gong spoke, he used a single 'phase' to eat the 'pawn' who had just crossed the river to relieve the siege, and watched Mo Longxiang move a 'horse' across the river, wanting to save another 'pawn' who crossed the river, and his mind was a little calmer, so he continued: "Ji Bin has been sitting in the position of ambassador to the United Kingdom for more than 10 years, if it weren't for your grandfather having Mo Haige, with his martial arts, he can't fight Ji Bin!" ”

"In the case of Ji Bin, Mo Haige was in charge, so he stopped the reform of the national system, not that Mo Haige couldn't do it, but that he needed to liquidate the previous improvements, and find out what was good and what was bad. This reckoning didn't matter, and it was found that all four of his sons had become a force. When Prince Gong said this, he looked at the chessboard, but found that his 'cannon' was eaten by Mo Longxiang's 'horse' who crossed the river to protect the 'pawn', and frowned. scolded: "Oh, little red guy, you are dark Chen Cang." ”

"Prince Gong, you go on."

"What else do you say, aren't these four sons too similar to the situation between me and your grandfather back then? Your grandfather's current approach is very simple, that is, to jump out of the rules and support his eldest son's posthumous son to ascend to the throne. ”

Mo Longxiang: "Hahaha, Prince Gong, who doesn't hear anything outside the window, doesn't seem to be a good reader of sage books." ”

Prince Gong glanced at Mo Longxiang and said, "Sage? Where are the sages? Confucius just traveled all over the world for the sake of an official and a half-job, and spent money to buy fame in every country. Child, you remember, the things of the great powers are good, but the country is not as strong as the great powers, and it must not be improved, and now it is very good, and the whole is looking for new rules, so your grandfather is still the supreme emperor! In the future, even if the title of governor or governor can be changed, but the most fundamental ......"

"General!" Mo Longxiang took this sentence.

Prince Gong stopped, first looked down at his side, there was no danger around 'Shuai', but then looked at it, Mo Longxiang's 'general' had already faced his 'handsome'!

Prince Gong put down the chess pieces in his hand and said with a smile: "You understand? ”

"Your old man is too long-winded, I already understood!"

It was about an interesting chess game, and Prince Gong smiled and said, "It's not big or small, I'm sure you call me grandpa!" ”

"I'm so alone that I can't tolerate anyone else calling you grandpa!"

"What does my grandson want to do so much, my son doesn't want to admit it!"

"Grandpa!"

"Then from now on, you have to fight for me!"
