Chapter 514: The Emperor is going to abdicate
When Yang Feng returned to Yingtian, it was already the spring of the following year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The millions of people in Yingtian welcomed His Majesty the Emperor with a grand ceremony, or rather, he had been out of business for almost two years.
In fact, at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty have become accustomed to this kind of life, originally His Majesty the Emperor was used to being the shopkeeper, and everything was handed over to the cabinet, and he was either fighting outside or cruising outside, and since the prince became an adult, it has intensified. It turned out that he had also interviewed the candidates for local officials, but now this job has also been thrown to the prince, but the poor His Royal Highness the Prince, who is just twenty-four years old this year, can only sit in the Fengtian Hall with a majestic face like a little old man, and look at the candidates who are lying on the small table and struggling to write.
As for the businesses owned by the royal family, a special committee is in charge.
In the past, Emperor Yang was still concerned about management, but now more than half of these enterprises are divided into those princes and princesses, and it is said that in the future, in addition to the Imperial Oil and Imperial Bank, there are also a few gold mines, and the other enterprises will be divided and sealed out without leaving them all. Because according to the system set by Emperor Yang, the prince is only 100,000 acres of land, and he is not even as good as a rancher in Jinzhou, so now those princes and princesses are concentrating on business studies for their future livelihoods.
Even the eldest princess who was assigned to Warwick Steel Company as a dowry has now simply taken over this frighteningly large company with total assets.
It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor at this time is really dispensable.
But that doesn't seem like a big deal.
The people of the Ming Dynasty also adapted to the life of the emperor who was not at home, the cabinet officials performed their duties, the local autonomy, the lawsuit had Dali Temple, the thieves were arrested by the police, and the corruption of the officials was found by the inspectorate, the emperor was not irresponsible, this is the standard Huang Lao's way of doing nothing, anyway, this is how the people of the Ming Dynasty explained that the emperor did not do his job. Even they still like this kind of life, especially the point of local autonomy, which has allowed them to completely get rid of corrupt officials, and now no one dares to be corrupt by the local officials, which are all elected by the local inspectorate itself, and the local finance is also a tax collected by the local government, for those gentry in the inspectorate, dare to be greedy for Lao Tzu's money, believe it or not, Lao Tzu sent you to Beihai to be neighbors with brown bears and Siberian tigers?
However, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who were accustomed to this kind of life, did not know that after their welcome ceremony, their Emperor Majesty once again pushed this kind of undoing business to the extreme.
"Good job, in a few years, your father and I can abdicate with peace of mind!"
His Majesty the Emperor, who returned to the palace, patted the crown prince on the shoulder and said.
The latter was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground, trembling and said that he was still young, it was difficult to be a big responsibility, this throne still had to be your father, you continue to sit, and it was enough for the sons to accompany their father and listen to the teachings at all times, and the prince was not a child anymore, and he was also full of history books over the years, but he knew very well that his identity was very delicate, since ancient times, those princes who had a strong father had no good end, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and his father was much stronger than those two, and his life was also worrying.
"Uh, what are you nervous about, I'm honest."
Emperor Yang said speechlessly.
"Why did my father have this idea?"
The prince asked cautiously.
"I am a cultivator, and I am entrusted by the gods of the fairy world to save the people of the world, and now in this world, in addition to some heresies in the West, it can be regarded as basically converted to the king, and now the Western Expedition will begin soon, and when the Western Expedition is over, my task will be completely completed, of course, it is impossible to delay the cultivation because of human affairs, I have decided that the day of the triumph of the Western Expedition is the time to abdicate."
Yang Feng said.
Well, that's what he's going to do.
With his lifespan, the prince estimates that he will not be able to wait for the day when he dies, let alone the prince, even the prince's son who has already entered elementary school can survive him in the end, it is difficult to say, after all, he is free from all diseases and poisons, and it is easy to live to the limit of human lifespan. Although he doesn't know what the limit of human life expectancy is, it's always okay to live one or two hundred, deducting those legends, there are at least a few people who have accurate records to live to more than one hundred and twenty, and those people definitely can't get rid of the disease, but he is really free from all diseases, that is to say, he must be higher than these people.
But his children and grandchildren can't.
If he really lived to be two hundred years old, who of these children and grandchildren would have consumed him? In case he consumes the crown prince to death, and then consumes his grandson to the twilight of his life before he can succeed to the throne, then will those sons born after him covet the throne, according to the current situation, he will have to continue to give birth to a bunch of sons younger than his grandson, even sons younger than his grandson, and sons younger than his great-grandson. After all, he is only in his fifties now, with his majestic style, at least another fifty years will not be a problem, his eldest grandson is seven years old this year, if he lives to one hundred and twelve, then his eldest grandson will be seventy or eighty, and then he has a large number of sons in their twenties and thirties, will those energetic and ambitious sons attack this dying junior throne?
I'm afraid this is inevitable.
It's all to this extent, and there will be no family affection between these children and grandchildren, after all, there are too many of them, even he himself often can't call the names of those children, and when it comes to the next generation, I'm afraid there is no emotion at all except for a little blood relationship, and the throne, especially in front of an imperial throne that dominates the world, it is easy for people to lose their minds.
Therefore, the safest way is to let the crown prince succeed to the throne first, and then pass it on to the next generation under his supervision, completely eliminating the idea of other people.
Of course, the most important thing is that he can get rid of the shackles of the throne, he can play as much as he wants, saying that His Majesty the Emperor is tired of his queen beauties, and he yearns for pure and free love, just like those young people of the new generation, after all, this kind of life of beckoning countless beauties to go forward and follow him forward makes him feel love or anything, and the queen is very emotional, but now she is in her fifties, and she is basically at the age of aesthetic fatigue.
What he longs for is the moon before the flowers, what he longs for is that kind of heart-warming feeling, and what he longs for is that kind of innocent beauty......
To put it simply, he eats too much fish and meat, and he also wants to shoot a cucumber.
But how can he do this with the crown on his head?
After he becomes the emperor, he can play transformation games to experience the folk life of the new era, although he is a little older now, but he thinks he is still a middle-aged idol level, like him, an old man with a successful career, gentle and elegant, informed and interesting, should be regarded as a safe reliance, it is estimated that no one cares, not to mention why do you have to be in the country, can't you go out to the subject country to the colony?
Take Europe, for example.
When he conquers Europe in the future, he can completely incarnate as a traveler from the Celestial Empire and travel all over the world to find love.
Of course, it can also be said to be a hunt.
The mysterious Persian girl, the classical Greek beauty, the Latin Spanish girl, the French girl like Sophie Marceau, and the charming British stunner like Keira Knightley......
Well, that's what it looks like.
Otherwise, it will be very troublesome for him to spend his long life in the future, after all, the life of Jiuchi Roulin has made him tired, and he is very worried about the thought of continuing to live like this for dozens or hundreds of years, what if he even changes his sexual orientation because he is extremely bored? You must know that there are many emperors in history who have made this kind of mistake, and even now the problem among the rich people of the Ming Dynasty is quite serious.
"Father, this must not be!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lay at his feet and cried.
This time it was the true feelings, after all, he really wasn't ready for this, and the thought of taking over such a huge empire made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince full of fear.
Then it was soon replaced by civil and military officials who cried in the same way, and then immediately after this terrible news exploded in the sky of the Ming Dynasty, and then the telegrams and messengers of the admonition of all the subject countries in various places, as well as the people's representatives, flocked to Yingtian, and even some people ran to the outside of the palace to kneel and beg His Majesty the Emperor not to abandon the people, especially some young people who were agitated were simply ready to commit suicide, but all this was blocked back by His Majesty the Emperor on the grounds that he could no longer delay his cultivation.
"I'm a cultivator, do you know how long I live? Could it be that I have been bound by you for hundreds of thousands of years? ”
In the Fengtian Palace, Emperor Yang was furious at his ministers.
"I am only entrusted by the gods to save Li Min, and when the task is completed, I will naturally return to the fairy world, and I will stay and supervise for a hundred years at most, maybe I will leave when I am, do you still want me to stay in the world forever? Is it important for you to be the emperor, or is it important for me to practice in the future? What I seek is the way that lasts forever, and everything in the world is just a passing thing for me, so how can I delay the avenue for this! Before, my Chinese people were bullied by foreign races, so I came to the world to save the people from fire and water, and then I had to continue to stay in the Xie religion to educate sentient beings with the righteous way. Now that the Western Expedition is imminent, when the Western Expedition is triumphant, all the Inei will be converted to Wanghua, and my mission will be completed, at that time, it is your duty to protect the people so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, do you still want me to continue to take care of these small things? ”
He continued with righteous words.
That's why he got out.
He wants to cultivate the way of eternal existence, how can he be separated from the passing clouds of the world, that is his business, there was a task before, of course, the completion of the task is still important, and after he abdicates, he will stay in the world to supervise for a while, when he feels that he should leave and quietly go to the fairy world.
And it also maintains his mythological color.
Otherwise, an old man who is so old that he is lying on the bed and dying, after all, it will affect his immortal image a little, although some explanations can also be found, but after all, it is not perfect, it is best that he leaves people's sight now, and then dies of old age as an ordinary person, so that no one will know, everyone will think that he will fly directly to the fairy world one day, not like ordinary people, trembling on crutches One day he accidentally fell down and never got up again.
Of course, his ascension to the immortal realm does not mean that he completely ignores the world, how can his descendants still be in the world.
He can show up from time to time, and he can even play some small games of the Holy Lord Qingtian, for example, when a second-generation bullies men and women, he suddenly hears the prayer of the bullied object, and then he just has time to come over and bring the second generation to justice, and then run to Yingtian to reprimand his son with a righteous face, which not only shows the sense of existence, but also strengthens the faith of the people, and by the way, also shocks the domestic magnates. Then gradually reduce the frequency of appearance according to the passage of time, and show up in a few years, more than ten years, if you can really live for another hundred years, you can also show up at that time, so that you can create the effect that he is actually immortal in the people, and he is still staring at the world.
If his descendants are in good minds, they can play this game even after his death.
Don't underestimate this, if he can still appear in two hundred years, then his godhead will be eternal, and his godhead will be eternal, which means that his old Yang family will be eternal, and his old Yang family will be eternal, so the empire of the Ming Dynasty will naturally last forever. For example, a hundred years later, if any subject country rebelled, he suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and then beat the rebels to pieces, and took the rebellious subject monarch out of the nest and scolded him to death. For example, if there is really a **** situation in the future that cannot be controlled, he suddenly reappears in the world, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for those *** people to get support again, and then compromise with each other and basically pass.
It's a deterrent.
"However, during my expedition to the west, you must study a law for me, this law must be the benchmark for all the laws of the Ming Dynasty, before this is the law, but after my abdication, this law is my will, and everything in the future of the Ming Dynasty must be in accordance with this law, which must clearly define the Ming state system, clearly define the rights of the people, in short, it must be practiced for eternity, and no one, even the emperor of later generations, can violate this law."
Yang Feng said
"Your Majesty, what is the point of this law?"
Prime Minister Shao asked.
"Quite simply, after my abdication, this law represents me, this law is my will, this law is above everything and even above the emperor."
Yang Feng said.
He just wants to engage in the constitution, and then he implements this constitution as a god, so that the Ming Dynasty really enters the era of constitutional monarchy, this kind of thing has no sacredness, and it is basically reduced to a footcloth, it must be based on faith, and he can obtain sacredness by promulgating it, for his descendants this is the ancestral hadith, no one can violate it, for the common people this is an oracle, and it can also not be violated, and the double meaning makes it truly sacred.
