Please enter the text of the enthronement ceremony began, although this enthronement ceremony was carried out in a relatively simple way, but after all, it is also an enthronement ceremony, and an emperor has almost only one enthronement ceremony in his life. If an emperor ascends the throne twice in his life, it is not only not happiness, but tragedy. Even if ordinary people get married, isn't it just once in a lifetime? If there is a second time, it is far less meaningful than the first time, and it may even feel uncomfortable. So as a courtier, I still try to do things well.

"The edict said: 'I am old and sick, and I have experienced cholera in the palace...... Special pass on to the crown prince! ’”

Everyone first read out Li Yuan's edict, and then Li Shimin became the new emperor, and then he was about to ascend the throne soon. But the process is much simpler, just sit on it.

"I've seen the emperor!"

Officials above the ninth rank in the court also knelt down one after another, representing the most solemn etiquette. Although there was no need to kneel during the Tang Dynasty, it was only during the most solemn period, such as the annual court meeting, or when the emperor ascended the throne, otherwise no one else would use kneeling.

"Get up!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin stood up, and then began to read some edicts.

These edicts are nothing more than a change in the name of the era, which is what every new emperor must do. The name of the year is Zhenguan, this is the same as the original history, and next year is the first year of Zhenguan. And some officials are promoted, or knighted and rewarded, and so on. Even some people have obtained the title of some loose officials, these loose officials are actually empty ranks and have no actual power, and the income of loose officials is lower than that of official officials, but it also represents a so-called "honorary title".

And Li Shimin next took the initiative to say: "I have come all the way, thanks to my wife, Changsun, she has been with me all the way, sharing life and death, and she is the most important hair extension wife in my life." Canonized the eldest grandson as the queen, and the eldest son Li Chengqian as the crown prince. Cheng Qian is the eldest son, so he is naturally a well-deserved prince. ”

Shi Bufan and many officials complained in their hearts: "Now you support the primogeniture system?" What did you do before? ”

Shi Bufan is very aware of Li Shimin's current thoughts, the so-called "butt decides the head", if Li Shimin did not sit on the throne, he would naturally not pay attention to the primogeniture inheritance system, but would be very happy to fight with Li Jiancheng. But now that Li Shimin has reached the throne, he will choose to support the primogeniture inheritance system. This is actually related to the change of identity, and after the change of identity, it really has to be changed, because the direction of their respective interests has changed, and if they still follow the past thinking, then this is fatal.

Li Shimin may not have supported the so-called primogeniture system in the past, but that was also because he had ambitions for the throne. And now he supports the primogeniture system, in fact, because he hopes that his descendants can better inherit the throne and there will be no problems. You must know that this primogeniture inheritance system originated in the Shang Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty changed from the so-called elder brother to the eldest son inheritance system. This is the reason for maintaining the stability of the country and then ensuring the smooth succession of the imperial throne. However, this primogeniture inheritance system was not able to be well rooted in the hearts of the people in that era, for example, the brothers of the king of Zhou, Weizi Qi and Zizhong, were very dissatisfied with this, and chose to take refuge in the Western Zhou Dynasty and even smear the king of Zhou.

However, although the primogeniture inheritance system is not conducive to the development of the country, it is conducive to the stable inheritance of the country to a certain extent. Although it may be said that Lichang and Lixian, and many emperors will choose Lichang, because this is conducive to the stability of the country and the inheritance of the imperial family.

"Hey, after all, this is the era of the family, and the most important idea is to maintain the royal inheritance and maintain the rule of your own family. Lichang was to maintain the royal rule and avoid the infighting of the royal family and let outsiders seize the country. In fact, in the final analysis, this is caused by the world. Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan knew that this chief was a patriarchal system created to cater to the rule of the monarch's family, so they did not support competition, but they were very afraid of competition. Once there is competition, whether it is within the royal family or what kind of competition in various forms, it is not conducive to their rule. And this chief is just to maintain their so-called power, to maintain the stability of the family's power, and to ensure that the family can effectively inherit and rule the country. As for the later selection of talents, in fact, it is really relying on competition within certain rules to gain power.

In the 21st century, although many countries continue to adopt the primogeniture system, in fact, the kings of those countries are also rubber stamps, which has no meaning at all, so even if the primogeniture system is not only not a good thing, but many other royal families are eager to push this throne to the eldest son. Who wants to be this giant panda puppet for people to see?

However, Li Chengqian, who was only a seven or eight-year-old child next to Li Shimin, obviously heard that his father had canonized him as the crown prince, and he was immediately overjoyed, and then showed an excited expression. Although Li Chengqian is young, he was born in the royal family since he was a child, and he knows very well what the word "prince" means, which means that he can take over the throne in the future and can grasp the power of the world in the future. And Li Chengqian also smiled, and the eldest grandson queen also nodded, she was canonized as the queen, and her son was established as the crown prince, so that the status of himself and his son is mutually promoting and stable, and he is not afraid of any accidents.

And Li Shimin also nodded, because the reason why he established the crown prince so early was also to hope that his son would not follow his own old path, and then go to seize the throne and maintain the stability of his family. Li Shimin meant this, he didn't want his son to fight, and then he could maintain the throne of his own line, so that his line could always hold the throne. This idea of defending and avoiding strife is in the interests of Li Shimin, and he naturally wants to uphold this patriarchal primogeniture system.

However, Shi Bufan looked at Li Chengqian, a little kid, and suddenly thought darkly in his heart: "Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, you want to feel the feeling of the city sandwich burger in the future, and it will be a sandwich between the two ends at that time." At that time, you were really a rat in the bellows -- angry at both ends. ”

Shi Bufan knew that it might not be a good thing to establish the prince too early! Those princes who canonized too early will often be the object of the emperor's cultivation and prevention, and they will also become the object of other brothers' vigilance. The other brothers will also use that prince as the number one target, and then use it as the target of attack. If the crown prince had not been canonized, then those brothers would have been completely chaotic and had no common target at all. But once the crown prince is established, those brothers will also focus on the crown prince. They will find a way to get the prince down together, and then compete for the position of the prince, each with their own ability.

That prince is facing his own attack on his brother, plus his father is not careful, etc., this is really a sandwich, sandwiching you between the two ends and making you unable to move. This is a rat in a bellows -- angry at both ends. So Shi Bufan knew that Li Shimin took it for granted, and he thought that it was a good thing to establish the crown prince as soon as possible to avoid conflicts and fights among his sons in the future. But he didn't know that those princes who were established prematurely often died before their fathers. In the face of my brother's open guns and arrows from time to time, I am also afraid that my father will clean you up at any time because you have done too much.

What's even more terrifying is that there is no standard for this "excess", how to be considered "excessive", this different emperor has different standards, so this companion is like a companion tiger is not a casual saying. Therefore, these princes probably don't even know where their father's "bottom line" is, and they are unlucky. Those princes have been walking on thin ice since they were children, but instead of helping him, they are harming it!

"Li Shimin, you also take it for granted. Do you think that the establishment of primogeniture as early as possible would help the stability of the country? But in fact, if you do this, it is actually completely counterproductive, but it will make your eldest son accept too many crises, accept the brother's open guns and arrows, and then always guess what you, the father and the king, think. Since ancient times, there have only been thieves for a thousand days, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days? You let Li Chengqian accept this kind of 'anti-thief' test since he was a child, and the pressure is huge! Under such conditions, people are not crazy because of their tenacious willpower. Moreover, you also made a bad start for your son, you are not the eldest son, and you came to power through a coup d'état, you are making a very bad start for your son, so that the Tang Dynasty will be unstable in the future, which can be said to be your real beginning. Shi Bufan thought to himself.

Shi Bufan looked at Li Shimin's sons, and he knew that Li Shimin's sons obviously did not have a good outcome in the future. Li Shimin came to power through a coup d'état, which means that his sons are also very similar. Parents are the most important teachers of their children, and even the people who have the greatest influence on their children. Perhaps many people neglect home education because they are busy with work. However, it is a common phenomenon that many officials are good at governing the country but not good at governing their families. Governing the country and governing the family are actually not the same thing.

Some parents may want to compensate their children for the best education, but in fact this is not very useful. Because those teachers don't have as much influence as their parents do. So the behavior of parents can easily be imitated by children. As a result, Li Shimin was tragic, and his sons also had two rebellions alone, Li You and Li Chengqian chose to rebel and want to seize the throne. And Li Shimin's prince is also uneasy, all kinds of people are trying to seize the throne, Li Tai and Li Ke are like this.

So in fact, it was Li Shimin himself who set this bad example, so this is the way for them to choose to seize the throne through such unconventional means. Even in the future, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the dynasty with the most coups d'état, and this has to be said to be a bad example set by Li Shimin, so it is Li Shimin who has made this bad head. In particular, all kinds of supervision and transfer of power, and there is not enough reasonable way of competition, there is no reasonable way of "competition for posts", all relying on what the emperor thinks, or relying on these mutinies to seize power, can this not be chaotic?

"Son, thank your father!" Li Chengqian immediately knelt down and said.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!" No matter what you think in your heart, you must congratulate this Li Chengqian for now.

However, everyone knows that although Li Chengqian has been made the crown prince at present, the future may not be determined. Li Shimin currently has at least 20 years of life, which is still the average life expectancy of people in this era. So they think that in the next so many years, there may be competition! This Li Chengqian may not be able to have the last laugh, and many ministers also think so. Only those who have the last laugh are the real winners!

However, no one would say such things at this time now, isn't this looking for death? However, although Li Shimin's thinking is very idealistic, and although Li Chengqian currently knows that he has been made the crown prince, they do not know that this will not completely solve the problem, but will put Li Chengqian in a danger. This is inevitable, especially in the era of the family, in which this kind of seizure of power through bloody and violent means can never be avoided. Because there are no suitable rules of competition, no suitable means of competition, coupled with the so-called absolute power of the emperor, this is enough to make many people crazy.

The more power is concentrated, the more prone it is to turmoil, and this is a truth that any later generation understands. Shi Bufan knew that this was inevitable, and in ancient times, it was important to centralize power, and the power of the central government was once again concentrated in the hands of the emperor. But such a huge power, in the end, not only did not help him, but harmed it. The more power is concentrated, the more insecure they end up becoming.

According to the psychology related to Shi Bufan's study, after many businessmen have earned wealth, they not only do not feel safe, but are always worried that their wealth will be robbed by others. Then in order to ensure their sense of security, they are even more desperate to make money, but the more they make money, the more insecure they are.

The same is true as a monarch, who fears that their place will be taken away and then desperately wants to centralize power. But in the end, they found that they were even more insecure after the centralization, and there were more people staring at his position! During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Zhou Tianzi lost power, he was relatively the safest. Because although they have lost their power, they are rubber stamps played by various princes, but the princes of all walks of life have to give him some face, but they can survive.

So instead of guaranteeing security, power brings more dangers. Therefore, Shi Bufan has studied political history, and he knows that when the centralization of power cannot go on, he will inevitably consider decentralization. This means that all kinds of political systems in later generations are emphasizing the separation of powers, ensuring the stability of the country through decentralization, and ensuring the smooth transition of political power through decentralization.

"I hope the next few days won't be too sad." Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan knew that he had come to this situation, and there was no turning back. He can only go on hard, and his wife and lover also support him, so in order to ensure the family business and wealth, he has to go up. As for the protagonists in many online novels, saying that they are not self-motivated and ambitious, and then they can guarantee the family business, this is actually impossible and is a false proposition. Without ambition, can you guarantee the family inheritance and ensure your own interests? This is not possible. Which of those protagonists doesn't have wealth and titles, and if they have no ambition, will the king let them go?

At that time, the king would simply find an excuse to abolish their titles, and when the time came, a whole crowd would pounce on them and eat their wealth.

Therefore, if he wants to ensure his family business, Shi Bufan has to climb up.
