After hearing this, Yu Wenming was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "It will definitely be very different from the Sui Dynasty, and in the original governance strategy of the Sui Dynasty, good policies will be retained, such as the imperial examination system, the system of three provinces and six ministries, the government and military system, the county system, etc." However, some changes will be made. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but open the conversation box and said: "In the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties era, why was there more than 'chaos' in the country, and there were often ministers and generals who hijacked the emperor, became powerful ministers, and even directly usurped the throne. It has a lot to do with the prime minister's excessive power. For example, Liu Yu in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng in the Liu Song Dynasty, Xiao Yan in the late Southern Qi Dynasty, and Chen Baxian in the last year of the Southern Liang Dynasty are all like this. The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, controls the military and political power of the imperial court, and has the power to review and make comments and suggestions on judicial, personnel, financial, foreign relations, military and other matters. When the prime minister was strong, many matters of the imperial court were approved by the prime minister, and the monarch only symbolized the 'sex' of the view, and had no right to dispose of it. As a result, the ministers of the court and local officials at all levels only knew the prime minister, but not the emperor. ”

"Other people don't say, Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty of the previous dynasty, himself usurped the throne as the emperor through the post of prime minister, and he knew the drawbacks, so he changed the system of three princes and nine ministers since Qin to a new system of three provinces and six ministries, and decomposed the power of the prime minister into six books, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, and handed over the power to accept the chapter and the preliminary examination to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since then, in the end of the Sui Dynasty, there has been no such thing as the dictatorship of ministers, and the power of the court has always been in the hands of the emperor. ”

"It's just that acting like this, although it prevents the situation of the minister's dictatorship, it completely pins the fate of the country on the emperor alone." Yu Wenming changed his words at this time and said: "If the emperor is a Ming monarch who is sympathetic to the people like Yang Jian, it is easy to say, but if it is a tyrannical monarch like Yang Guang, who does not care about the feelings of the soldiers and the people, it will make the world fall into a 'chaos' and 'chaos'." In this way, it is not a blessing for the community, but a blessing for the people. ”

After Xu Shiji heard this, he also deeply felt the same way, if it wasn't for Yang Guang's tyrannical expropriation and abuse of people's power, how could he and the generals of the Wagang Army embark on the road of uprising. It's just that he has a question in his heart.

What King Zhou said, Xu agreed very much. But in all dynasties, the founding emperors were often virtuous kings. But at the end of the period, the emperors were either cowardly and incompetent, mediocre in talent, or tyrants like King Shang, Qin II, and Yang Guang. Xu believes that King Zhou will be a Ming monarch in the future, but how can King Zhou ensure that your descendants are also Ming Jun? Xu Shiji asked in a deep voice at this moment.

Yu Wenming laughed and said, "Who dares to guarantee this? The king can only say that he will do his best to educate them to become good princes who can treat the people well, protect the country, and make the world prosperous. But whether they can all become the monarchs that the country and the people need depends on their own efforts...... This king can only say that he will choose the best prince from among them, serve as the crown prince, and inherit the throne! ”

"Oh?" Xu Shiji originally frowned when he heard this, but when he heard that Yu Wenming said that he would choose the best one from his future princes to become the crown prince and inherit the throne, he was taken aback and said: "Doesn't King Zhou take his eldest son as the crown prince?" ”

"Since the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the succession system of establishing the eldest son as the crown prince has been determined to avoid internal 'chaos' within the imperial family competing for the throne, and at the same time, it is also easy for the royal family to fall into the situation, and there is no need to rack their brains for who to appoint as the crown prince." Yu Wenming said: "But to be honest, this system is not very good. Because the dragon gave birth to nine sons, all of them are different, and the eldest son may not be the most talented and virtuous of the emperor's sons......

"So, if I become the emperor, I will treat all my sons equally." Yu Wenming actually wants to say that all sons and 'daughters' are treated equally, but considering the limitations of people's thinking in this era, 'sex', it can only be said that it is all sons.

"Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, as long as you are willing to study hard, have both talent and morality, and can be recognized by courtiers, officials and people, you will have the opportunity to become the next emperor!" Yu Wenming threw out an earth-shattering remark. This time not only Xu Shiji, but even Song Jingang, Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng, Hu Sizheng and others on the side were also so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

Xu Shiji couldn't help but ask at this time: "Then how did King Zhou determine the heir to the throne?" I think that every prince will not think of himself as a shallow, cowardly, incompetent, arrogant and domineering person. ”

Yu Wenming smiled slightly and said, "This naturally needs to be assessed." As for the people who participate in the evaluation, I imagine that they will include ministers of the DPRK and China, generals in the army, local officials, businessmen and literati in the private sector. As for the detailed rules for 'manipulation', it can only be carried out after the king has pacified the world and unified the country. It's too early to talk about these things. My initial idea is that the prince who wants to be the emperor should show his talent and virtue in a righteous and bright way to attract everyone to support him as the crown prince, instead of just trying to destroy his brother, curry favor with his father and mother, form gangs, and fight against dissidents. ”

When the generals heard this, they all felt the same way, the dispute between Yang Yong and Yang Guang for the crown prince of the former Sui, and the fratricidal incident happened more than ten years ago. In the end, although Yang Guang won, it led to the Sui Dynasty's original dependence on the former crown prince Yang Yong, and a large number of talented officials were demoted or killed.

After Yang Guang became the emperor, he wantonly appointed his cronies, among whom there were certainly people of insight such as Yang Su and Yu Wenshu. But there are more villains like Yu Culture and Yang Xuangan. After these people came to power, they only knew that they were sloppy and full of 'private' bags, and the world of the Great Sui was gradually made into a miasma by them. Coupled with the fiasco of Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goryeo, he did not exert all his efforts when exterminating the 'chaotic' bandits in various places, and finally led to the complete abandonment of the major families, especially the Guanlong 'Gate' valve, and rebelled one after another, which became the last straw that pressed the Great Sui.

Xu Shiji's eyes also flickered, thinking that if the prince was really determined according to Yu Wenming's method, it would indeed be much better than the current system of establishing the eldest son, at least it could ensure that the new emperor was the most outstanding one among the sons of the old emperor. Although it is impossible to prevent the emergence of faint kings and tyrants. But since the new monarch has been evaluated by the royal family, ministers of the court, generals in the army, local officials and private gentry, he must not be much worse.

"This Yu civilization really has a bit of the ability to push the old and innovate, and Yang Jian usurped the throne back then, and what he seized was the country of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If the universe really takes over the world in the future, it can be regarded as karma. He thought to himself.

At this time, Yu Wenming also said sincerely: "Mr. Xu, this king has heard your name for a long time, and knows that most of the cities conquered by the Wagang army have the credit of your planning. Mr. Bu said that there are many generals around this king who can fight well, but there is a great lack of military advisors who can give me advice and pacify the world like Hu Sizheng. I sincerely ask Mr. Xu to help me! ”

Xu Shiji saw that Yu Wenming was so sincere, and he was finally moved. He immediately lifted his robe, bowed down and said: "Since King Zhou looks up to Xu so much, if Xu pushes three times and resists four more, he will not know how to lift!" Bearing the weight of His Royal Highness, Xu Shiji is willing to descend to the Great Zhou! ”

"Great!" Yu Wenming was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately stepped forward, helped Xu Shiji, and then said: "This king has Mr. Xu's help, just like Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang back then, and my Da Zhou is expected to revive in the future!" ”

Xu Shiji also hurriedly said modestly: "Although Xu has made some achievements before, he is only in the unangry Wagang army, and there are only tall people among the short. King Zhou's troops are many generals, and the two virtuous talents of Hu Junshi, Changsun Daren, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are all 100 times stronger than Xu. Xu's resourcefulness is really not on the table. ”

After hearing about it, Hu Sizheng was also busy saying: "Mr. Xu's talent is like the sun, moon and stars, and Hu's meager tricks are just the light of rice grains in front of Mr., how dare you compare?" In the future, let's make suggestions for King Zhou together, and Hu still needs Xu Junshi to give him more advice. ”

"Alright, alright! Don't be humble to either gentleman! From now on, Mr. Xu and Mr. Hu are my left and right military advisors. I hope that the two of them will be like the dragon and phoenix, and assist the king to sweep away the princes from all walks of life! Let the Central Plains, which has been 'chaotic' for a long time, be stable, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and let me come to the court in the fourth place! Yu Wenming saw that the two of them were sympathetic to each other, and they praised each other endlessly, so they had to quickly stop their talking.

The surrounding generals actually admired Xu Shiji very much, and even Niu Jinda, who was so disgusted with Li Mi, also had a good impression of Xu Shiji, the chief military division of the Wagang Army.

Now that they saw that Xu Shiji had finally become comrades-in-arms together, they were also very happy and stepped forward to congratulate them.

After everyone greeted each other for a while, Yu Wenming invited Xu Shiji to the inner tent, invited him to sit down, and then ordered the 'waiter' Cong to bring tea.

"Mr. Xu, now we are a family, although my Great Zhou has expanded rapidly recently, the foundation is unstable, and the other princes are not idle. Just now, this king got an urgent report, saying that Du Fuwei occupied Jiangdong, Shen Faxing perished, Xiao Mill's general Cen Wenwen also broke through Yuzhang and captured Lin Shihong, and Li Yuan even annexed the rich Bashu ......" Yu Wenming was a little worried and said: "I signed a two-year armistice treaty with Li Tang, stipulating that our two families must not fight again, and now a year has passed. I expected that when the armistice agreement was terminated, it would be the time when Li Yuan and I fought a big battle. And during the interlude of this year, where should our army put the offensive target on which side of the princes, but there is a lot of controversy internally, I don't know if Xu Junshi has an idea? ”

After the suppression of Li Mi, there was much controversy within the Zhou army about the actions in the coming year. Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others advocated attacking Du Fuwei in the south, believing that even if they could not destroy this Jianghuai hero, they should at least occupy the territory north of the Yangtze River to prepare for the future attack on Jiangnan.

However, Song Jingang, Luo Cheng, Niu Jinda and others advocated attacking Wang Shichong, they thought that after defeating Luoyang, Yu Wenming could justifiably claim the title of emperor, and they were the new generals who could make a contribution to the founding of the country, so as not to be rejected by the generals of the Liaodong military system.

And Yu Wenming himself is also a little hesitant about this, he feels that many of his territories have only been beaten down for less than three years, which is not stable, and he should postpone his expansion and raise his 'essence' for a year. But seeing that his subordinates were all eager to try, he was also a little moved.
