"At the beginning of people, the nature is good, the sex is similar, the habits are far away, the sex is not taught, the sex is sent, the way of teaching, you are specialized, the former Mengmu, choose the neighbor ......"

Xiao Zhenbang shook his head and stood in front of Xiao Ruxun reciting the three-character scripture, Xiao Ruxun had just stopped discussing government affairs with the ministers, and agreed to discuss it again in the afternoon, and now he was sitting in front of Xiao Zhenbang with a bowl of tea, staring at him while drinking tea.

Caiyun was approaching the delivery period, and Xiao Ruxun ordered the palace maids in the palace to prepare for her birth, so naturally she had no energy to control and educate Zhenbang and Yingying.

Zhenbang and Yingying are only six years old, which is the age of curiosity and stubbornness, Xiao Ruxun does not believe that six-year-old children have self-control and can study seriously on their own in the absence of their parents.

So Xiao Ruxun planned to hand over Zhenbang and Yingying to his father to help take him for a while, but his father was lonely in the palace alone, but Xiao Wenkui agreed to help take care of Yingying, but he was unwilling to take Zhenbang.

"Back then, the four of you brothers were raised together with your father and your mother since childhood, and then your mother died, and your father didn't dare to relax.

The so-called fault of not raising a godfather, Ying Ying is a daughter, it is harmless, but Zhenbang is the prince of Daqin, the future emperor, if you can't learn well, not only will it hurt the people of the country, but people will say that you have no way to teach your son in the future, are you willing to be said like this by future generations?

These days, my father has read the history books of all dynasties in the palace, and found that few emperors since ancient times can handle the relationship between father and son, and there are many tragedies caused by this.

As far as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the abolished prince Liu Ju, as close as Tang Taizong and the abolished prince Li Chengqian, such a wise lord could not handle the relationship between father and son, greatly damaged his reputation, and hated the eternal, as a father really does not want such a thing to happen in this dynasty, do you understand the meaning of being a father? ”

Xiao Wenkui took Xiao Ruxun's hand and reasoned with him seriously.

"Father, my son's state affairs are really busy, if you take Zhenbang with you, there are indeed many inconveniences, Zhenbang is still too young."

Xiao Ruxun thought about it and felt that this was still inappropriate.

"No, Si'er, it is necessary for you to take Zhenbang with you to raise you."

Xiao Wenkui said: "I read the history books for my father and found that the prince has been doing it for too long, which is not a good thing for the prince himself.

If you don't set up the prince, it's just that, since the prince has determined the orthodoxy, as the emperor, you have to maintain him, you take Zhenbang with you to raise, it is equivalent to showing the world, your expectations and feelings for Zhenbang, others will naturally know your attitude.

Caiyun is about to give birth, if it is a boy, you can dispel some of the careful thoughts of others and stabilize Zhenbang's position, you must know that the battle for the heir is sometimes not a battle between princes, but some people behind the prince who are trying to be the ministers of the dragon are pushing. ”

Xiao Ruxun didn't expect that his father didn't spend a lot of money to enjoy happiness during this time, but instead lived in a simple house and read history books in the palace, studying the rise and fall of the dynasty since ancient times, and he could still warn him like this, and his heart was really moved.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ruxun felt that what Xiao Wenkui said was very reasonable, so early to determine the prince candidate, it is equivalent to putting Zhenbang under the noses of the world, now Zhenbang is young, and when he is old enough to go out of the cabinet to study, Zhenbang is bound to receive attention from all sides.

His words and deeds will be infinitely magnified, and if he can't provide him with enough support and shelter, if Caiyun gives birth to a boy, Zhenbang's status will be affected, and it will further affect his family.

The battle for the heir has always been not only a struggle between the princes, but also the promotion of the forces behind the princes.

Xiao Ruxun can't live for 10,000 years, he will die after all, the throne must be passed to someone he can fully trust, and he will never allow things to happen that he is fooled and lame by some courtiers.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, the Han Dynasty appeared, and the central government suppressed the local mausoleum system to abolish, resulting in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, which directly affected the trend of history.

The larger the country and the larger the population, the more centralized power must be maintained and strengthened, which has been vividly reflected in the Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Whether it is a small government in a unified state or a small government in a divided state, it will lead to disintegration, and he will not allow any attempt to weaken the centralization.

He used land reform to uproot the powerful forces of the local gentry and rooted the will of the central government in the localities, and there were also military-affiliated households that were closer to the central government, as well as governments in the countryside, which firmly controlled the localities in all directions.

The powerful gentry who could not be eliminated in the local area were all relocated to live in Beijing, and their roots were cut off, and those who tried to resist were resolutely eradicated, and the connection between the local government and the central government has not been so close since the Qin Dynasty.

In order to prevent the resurgence of local forces, Xiao Ruxun began to popularize education and implement the Lingyi system, a two-pronged approach, in order to build the society into a two-level state of monarchy and commoners, and the central government representing the monarch can directly govern the locality, without the deception of local forces.

Xiao Ruxun is strictly guarding against the resurgence of civilian politics.

The so-called civil administration, the prototype of the so-called constitutional monarchy, is naturally wonderful in the eyes of some people, because it is very "democratic", and many people feel that as long as there is a constitutional monarchy, everything will be fine, and the constitutional monarchy is omnipotent.

But no one ever thought, is this a democracy that belongs to the common people?

No, since its birth in Athens, the word democracy has always belonged to the rich and powerful, to the compromise of power within the ruling class, not to the common people.

They have money, we have power, we compromise with each other, and democracy emerges.

So in the past, and still are, the common people thought that they had democracy, just as they were hypnotized to fantasize that they would become nobles and carry out the spirit of aristocracy.

It is ridiculous that the descendants of a group of peasants, who have just turned over a few decades, begin to fantasize about themselves as aristocrats and preach for the spirit of aristocracy.

The gentry were born in the locality, and after gaining fame, they received wealth and land and the benefits of the locality, and they would represent the locality, or they would be the locality.

In the stories recorded in the history books that seem to be very righteous and awe-inspiring, they can always reflect the decline of the imperial power when the local power is too big to fall, and the imperial power is the center, and the central government is weak, and the local chaos is inevitable.

For example, Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming wanted to inspect the work of Shangshutai, and the emperor's carriage arrived at the door, and was driven away by Shangshutai officials, saying that if you don't trust me, you can naturally remove my official, but if you want to go in and inspect, I'm sorry, you better dismiss my official first.

Cao Rui's face turned blue with anger, but he was helpless, so he still left, what was the reason?

Because the local officials are in the same spirit, only they are literate and studying, only they have the ability to govern the country, and the common people are illiterate, can they be hoped?

Can a ruler rule smoothly without the cooperation of the gentry?

No matter how many officials you change, but they are still them, or one of them, the imperial power has actually been hollowed out, and the emperor is powerless.

The same is true of the Ming Dynasty, under the call of Confucianism, under the maintenance of the interests of the imperial examination, in a sense, it is also the same spirit, you replace one person, replace another person, but it is still the gentry of the imperial examination, no matter who you change, you can't change an illiterate person, right?

They have land, resources, and manpower at the local level, and they control the localities, and without their cooperation, the central government has lost its influence over the localities.

No matter how democratic it is, no matter how much it is a constitutional monarchy, it has a half-dime relationship with the common people?

It was a mutual compromise between the local and central governments, relying on power and money.

Local forces oppress the people at the bottom, and confront the central government at the top, they are the biggest threat to a country, and the reason for the final decline of every powerful empire in history includes the sitting of local forces and the representatives of local forces entering the central government.

At present, the land reform is in full swing, the local forces have been wiped out, the central officials have moved in, and the local forces have disappeared for the time being, but they no longer exist, and the enemies of the central government and the emperor have never been rebellious civilians, but the people who represent the local government to the central government.

Once it appears, Xiao Ruxun will press it down fiercely and show no mercy.

There has never been a situation now, there is not even anyone who opposes his land reform, and the imperial power is unprecedentedly strong, but the crisis under this power, Xiao Ruxun is not invisible.
