Chapter 320: Undercurrent (46)

"Sir is not sincere!" Chen Yankai was still very shy about blindly avoiding this topic, and Yan Shengcong was a little unhappy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wanyan Shengcong hopes that Chen Yankai can have a heart-to-heart relationship with him today, and say something instead of blindly avoiding and avoiding these sensitive topics. Otherwise, Yan Shengcong would not have called Chen Yankai out alone, and after Yan Shengcong called Cheng Yankai out alone, he hoped to talk to Chen Yankai about this matter.

Wanyan Shengcong didn't want this major event related to the future of the Great Liao Empire to be influenced by the old family of the Manshu clan. Wanyan Shengcong hopes that he can choose to choose the most suitable successor objectively. took over the baton from him, and continued to lead the Liao State to run down and complete the great cause that the Manshu people had not completed.

"Since I don't say it, sir, I'm not embarrassed, sir." Wanyan Shengcong can also understand Chen Yankai's distress, in fact, the issue of the heir to the throne of the Manshu clan is not Chen Yankai's turn to be a foreigner. Chen Yankai is well aware of this, so on this issue, Chen Yankai wisely chose to remain silent, and Chen Yankai neither spoke nor expressed his position.

In the future, even if there is any accident in the alternation of power, Chen Yankai's silent attitude today is the capital of his future life.

"I'll be honest." Wanyan Shengcong began to say to himself, "Since the ancestor to the father, and then to my Wanyan Shengcong, it has been the death of the father and the son, and there has never been a situation where the brother dies and the brother dies. ”

The emperors of the Liao State (Manshu tribe) for the past three generations have been very lucky, and each emperor has no shortage of sons, so there is no accident of brother and brother. The succession of imperial power (the power of the Great Khan) was passed from father to the most trusted son.

Therefore, in the past three generations, there has basically been no dispute over the throne of the Manshu people, and there has been no chaos in the government.

Due to the smooth and stable succession to the throne, the internal friction of the Manshu people fell to the lowest point in the history of the Manshu people. Every change of power has resulted in countless people dying because of internal political chaos. Among them, many of the capable Manshu people within the Manshu tribe died in these senseless coups.

Coups and chaotic politics have drained the strength of the Manshu people, and after each coup, the Manshu people are seriously injured, and it takes a long time to lick the wounds and recuperate. And this long period of time is generally as long as the reign of a Great Khan.

And even if the Manshu tribe has just recovered from the last coup d'état, they are about to face the next succession of khans. And so on and so forth. This is also the reason why the Manshu tribe is an old tribe with a history of hundreds of years in the north of Liaodong, but it has not been able to rise for a long time and has been oppressed by other barbarians. Knowing that after Yan Shengcong's grandfather's generation, this situation has changed.

After two generations of hard work, the Manshu people have slowly risen to this point.

Wanyan Shengcong hated the coup d'état, and Wanyan Shengcong once naively thought that he was energetic and in good health and could work until he was a hundred years old, until the day when he completed the hegemony of the Manshu clan. It turns out that Wanyan Shengcong's idea is very naïve, and Wanyan Shengcong thinks too much.

The natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death remains unchanged for eternity, and no one can change it, even if it is the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, who vainly sought immortality in his old age, in the end, he still can't escape death? There is no escape from the coming of death.

No matter how great and powerful people are, they will always bow to death, and death may be the fairest thing in the world.

There is also Li Shiming, who overtook pills in his later years in a vain attempt to live forever, and as a result, he died violently after taking pills. If you don't take these pills, you may be able to live for a few more years, but after taking them, it will accelerate the process of death.

Fortunately, although Wanyan Shengcong also wants to live forever and live a few more years, Wanyan Shengcong does not believe in ghosts and gods, nor does he believe in the so-called elixir prescription. There is no absurd farce, which is rare among all emperors.

"What the Great Khan wants is to choose the next emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom from among the princes, which is excellent." Chen Yankai is also very supportive of Wanyan Shengcong's practice of selecting heirs from several princes. The selection of the prince is indeed conducive to maintaining the stability of the internal power structure of the Manshu people in terms of the timing of the Manshu people. If it is said that the heir is not selected from among the princes, but the heir is chosen from Wanyan Shengcong's brothers. A new chaos will arise, and the possibility of a coup d'état will also increase.

After all, Wanyan Shengcong's brothers are all very ambitious people, and it is difficult to control very ambitious people. In particular, they all have the status of the prince of the Manshu tribe. This identity is simply a sharp Shang Fang sword in the Manshu clan. With the status of the prince of the Manshu tribe, basically no one in the Manshu tribe dares to embarrass you.

What's more, none of the Manshu guards' guards are heavily armed. Because the Manshu people need to rely on these princes to command the army, and the soldiers and horses to maintain the rule of the Manshu people, this is a defect in the internal power structure of the Manshu people. It is also the root cause of the Manshu people's chaotic government for hundreds of years, and it is a problem left over from the history of the Manshu people.

Chen Yankai originally planned to return to Liaoyang City after the end of this war to carry out a new round of drastic new policies. Reform the original backward system of the Liao State, so that the Liao State can easily integrate with the more advanced civilization of the Central Plains in the future.

Among them, weakening the prince's military power is a key content in Chen Yankai's blueprint for reforming the new policy, Chen Yankai and Wanyan Shengcong have done a very good job of keeping secrets, and the news has no evil way out.

If this news leaks out, I am afraid that there will be an uproar within the high-level of Liao.

Wanyan Shengcong locked the heir range of the future Liao Emperor within a few princes, which greatly reduced the probability of chaos in the Liao State after his death.

It's just that even if Wanyan Shengcong locks the future heir of the Liao Emperor in the Liao prince, Wanyan Shengcong still has many choices. Wanyan Shengcong has a lot of children, not one or two, but eight!

"Under the four princes, the oldest is only sixteen years old, these princes are too young, and they have handed over the Great Liao Empire to them. I'm afraid that a few of them will be played by their uncle and become puppets between applause. Wanyan Shengcong said, sighing, of course, he didn't want his son to be so useless and become a useless puppet. Of course, Wanyan Shengcong really hopes that someone else can become his puppet.

There are a total of eight princes in the Manshu clan, and after Wan Yan Shengcong's elimination, five of the eight princes have been excluded by Shengsheng, and half of them have passed, and the number of remaining princes is only three, and now Wan Yan Shengcong has to make a choice among the three princes.
