Yuan Shu scratched his head slightly, why didn't he understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words, since ancient times, he thought that the problem of imperial succession caused by the tragedy was still less? This is not a matter of his own, but of the entire nation and the country.

In the past few years, several of his wives and concubines have given birth to two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Yuan Yao has also performed quite well under Sun Ce, and the second son Yuan Ying, although young, has been extremely intelligent and is very loved by Yuan Shu. On the issue of heirs, although Yuan Shu was much more rational than the irascible emperor of Rome, who was born in a soldier, it was also difficult to choose.

Different identities and different positions naturally look at things differently. Once, because of Yuan Yao's ability and character, Yuan Shu was determined to give up his as a successor and train him as a military general. With Yuan Yao's character and ability, it is indeed understandable for Yuan Shu to do this, but Yuan Yao is his eldest son after all.

Although there are few emperors in real history who are the eldest sons, it is basically a potential rule in ancient times to establish the eldest son, and the eldest son does not exist separately, but although it is reasonable to set up another person in the case of the eldest son, there will be a lot of risks in the future. The Tang Dynasty has learned from the past, and Yuan Shu does not want his future heirs to set off a bloody storm every time there is a change of dynasty in the future, which will cause too much harm to the country.

However, it is not realistic to follow the primogeniture system. If it is clear that the eldest son is not suitable for the king, there is a better choice, how can he give up the good and take the inferior. And in this way, the eldest son has no sense of crisis, and is likely to be raised.

In the eyes of Yuan Shu, who has the insight of later generations, there are many problems in this era that can be easily solved, but there are also many problems, even in later generations, they cannot give a correct and perfect answer. For example, the immediate issue of succession of heirs, as well as the problem of the country's system and system.

These two seem to never find a perfect answer, and if you take care of this, you will lose the other, just as the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time. No matter how good the system is, problems will arise with the development of the dynasty and the passage of time, because there is no perfect system in this world, and everything has loopholes. Over time, this vulnerability will grow bigger and bigger, and eventually it will be irretrievable.

Yuan Shu has also been instinctively avoiding this problem, but fortunately, because of the crossing, although he is in his forties, his physical condition is still in his twenties, and he still has enough time to think about this problem that can never be solved.

Descendants have their own descendants, and Yuan Shu's goal is first to safeguard the interests of China and let the banner of China be planted all over the world. Secondly, it is to ensure that their offspring can have the best possible ending. In the end, it is the country that I have created that can last as long as possible.

The reason why Da Chu was placed third was because Yuan Shu knew that this goal was difficult to achieve, and unless there was a decisive force similar to nuclear weapons, otherwise, the country he built would eventually decay and perish, and it was basically impossible to maintain it forever. However, the first two goals are likely to be achieved.

Needless to say, Yuan Shu's trust and fear of the family are two sides of the same coin, how much he was afraid of them, and how much he trusts their power now. As long as the power of these families is used well, Yuan Shu feels that it is not too difficult for the Han people to reach the top of the world. And the latter, with Confucius's descendant Zhuyu in front and the experience of the Zhou Dynasty in the past, Yuan Shu felt that his former ideas also had a certain possibility of being realized.

Under the attention of the three of them, Yuan Shu shook his head for a moment, and then said, "Wenhe, tell me specifically, how should this matter be operated?" ”

Seeing Yuan Shu's pretended to be confused, Jia Xu and the others sighed slightly in their hearts, estimating that Yuan Yao was really hopeless.

After getting along for so long, how could they not know the character of their own majesty. Although the ability to recognize people, their own will, the way of employing people, and the ability to govern are all extremely excellent, and they can be called immortal heroes, they are a little indecisive and too soft-hearted. Perhaps because he has too much knowledge, when dealing with some problems that can be solved in later generations, Yuan Shu is extremely neat. But when dealing with some problems that are difficult to solve in later generations, Yuan Shu is a little forward-looking.

However, as courtiers, they are not too involved in this matter. Anyway, no matter who Yuan Shu chooses, as long as there is no big mess like a palace coup, it will be an idiot, with Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and others in the future, plus the support of Sun Ce and others, there will be no problems with Da Chu.

In fact, in the eyes of Jia Xu and others, it is better to directly push Yuan Yao to the throne of the crown prince, and directly set the inheritance of the eldest son, which saves a lot of trouble. Although Yuan Yao's ability is poor, his temperament is a little reckless and stubborn, and he is somewhat similar to the current Roman emperor, but now Da Chu is on the right track, the successors of the next generation have been finalized, and the shelf has been set up, and he doesn't need a good emperor, just a symbol of sensibility and enterprising, and shout 666 behind Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others.

And Yuan Yao's character is very good. Knowing the military, his heart is not bad, although he is stupid but he is sensible, he comes step by step, even if he is a mascot, as long as there is no accident, it is not impossible to get a similar status to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future, after all, the capital left by Yuan Shu to him is too sufficient. As long as you don't make trouble, it is estimated that you can count a generation of Ming Jun if you don't do anything, and Yuan Shu is not a little inactive now.

In fact, this is also an attempt by Yuan Shu. Governing the country with prime ministers is somewhat similar to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch only needs to do a good job in the ideological work of the low-level scholars and soldiers, and firmly grasp the military power, procuratorial power, trial power and public opinion. The specific governance of the country and the management of the army and the war were respectively the responsibility of the prime minister, the general and the governor, and the monarch only made judgments in the general direction, so as to minimize the impact of the emperor's deafness on the country and try his best to ensure the unity of the national will.

After all, Yuan Shu's wisdom was limited, and this was already the most suitable method he could think of with reference to later generations. It is not easy to ensure that the state has only one voice, but also to ensure mutual checks and balances of power. This eternal problem, Yuan Shu can only think of this.

Since Yuan Shu had no intention of replying to his hints, Jia Xu didn't say much on this topic. can say this kind of thing, Yi Jia Xu's character is already the limit, if he didn't know that Yuan Shu is wide-hearted, Jia Xu wouldn't even mention this kind of thing.

"Severu's two sons, the elder brother is named Caracalla and the younger brother is named Geta." Jia Xu said.

"Caracalla inherited his father's iron-blooded personality, and was capable of being moderate, but ruthless and ambitious. Gaita inherited his father's kindness to his relatives and soldiers, but was cowardly and incompetent. If this continues, nine times out of ten, Getha will be eliminated by his brother, and Caracalla will become a tyrant like Severus. And this is exactly what some nobles and senators of Rome and the senators of the Senate do not want to see. However, due to the fact that Severu has improved the status of the soldiers, they lack the right to speak and form a strong support for Gaita. ”

"Wen and you mean that we are secretly helping Gaita? Thus dividing Rome and making them infighting? Yuan Shu said.

"No, since you want to do it, you have to do it more thoroughly. Rome is different from us, they have no orthodoxy and no dynasty, the management system is backward and rudimentary, and the emperor changes so easily that it can be called ridiculous. At every turn, there are emperors who die due to extremely random assassinations, and then there are some people who are inexplicably on the throne, even an ordinary personal guard can be the emperor. Speaking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart. The Roman empire looks strong, but the rulers' management methods are too weak, and the ruling system is not rigorous at all, as if playing.

From the original development of an ordinary city, the management structure is so loose and full of loopholes, which makes Jia Xu feel ridiculous. Compared with the Han people who are full of intrigues and tricks, these people are like a bunch of fools. If it were a Han family in Rome, assassinating an emperor would be like playing. You must know that none of the guards around Yuan Shu have been strictly examined, at least the three generations of ancestors have been checked, and they can only be selected if they are sure of their details and loyalty. And the management is extremely strict, and outsiders basically can't get in touch. Whenever he goes out, he must be surrounded by countless personal guards and the two bodyguards of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

How many emperors of China have been stabbed to death? Even if he dies unexpectedly, it is mostly because of a coup d'état, and there will naturally be an orthodox succession after that. And what about the emperors of these countries in Rome? It's like Caracalla, because of the dissatisfaction of an ordinary soldier, he was stabbed to death, what a nonsense thing. What's even funnier is that after the emperor died, the heir turned out to be the commander of his Praetorian Guard, and he was still chosen. And this guy is still a black man from a slave background, which is legendary, it's unimaginable.

A faint cold glint flashed in Jia Xu's eyes: "Our first step is to support Gaita and suppress Caracalla." Then, he encouraged Caracalla to kill his father and brother, and then used the hands of the Roman nobles and senators to get rid of Caracalla. Finally, the Roman warlords and slaves were encouraged to revolt, and the chaos in Rome was once again formed. At that time, Rome will be the stage for the Maisons. ”
