Chapter 983: Inheritance under the old grudge

During the period of Li Shi's personal expedition, Li Kezai "saw politics" as the crown prince, that is, he followed the political envoys of the middle court and listened to the political affairs hall and the deliberations of the two houses. The "homework" given to him by Li Shi had already been completed, but this experience gave him a new harvest, and after several revisions, he was already in his chest.

Li Kezai's "homework" is to design a set of fixed storage system, when he first started talking, he couldn't let go because of the presence of the old witch Ruxi, and then he gradually entered the role, and described his entire set of program outlines.

In summary, Li Kezai's plan has three main points, one is to establish a long and abolish the heir, the second is not to establish a young monarch and inherit the throne, and the third is to introduce the crown prince as a risk guarantee.

As soon as she finished the introduction, Ru Xi laughed rudely, although she understood that Li Xi asked her to sit in on the listen was just idle trouble, but Li Kezai's plan was too nonsense, and she finally couldn't help but ridicule.

The difference between the descendants and the concubines is the Chinese Zhengli, without this layer, how can the bloodline be inherited? If you don't set up a young monarch and inherit the throne, that is, you will encourage the prince and even uncles and nephews to take over the heirs. As for what kind of crown prince is discussing, the battle for the throne is life and death, and you still have to talk about the country?

"I Yinghua respects the way of heaven, everyone is one, not to mention the monarch and the people, the distinction between wives and concubines in the old world is no longer applicable, and the rites of concubines are also like the system of master and slave tribes, so they should be abolished. In the twelfth year, the father and the emperor issued the "Edict on the Separation of Family and Financial Affairs", and in the eighteenth year, the father and the two courts revised the "General Regulations of the Emperor's British Civil Law", confirming that wives and concubines have the right to inherit family property, and children inherit family property without dividing their concubines...... In my Yinghua. The concubine is almost in ruins. ”

Ru Xi hadn't noticed these details of people's livelihood in Yinghua Middle School before, and heard Li Kezai say that Yinghua was close to abandonment. It's incredible, how is it possible? She couldn't imagine a society in which wives and concubines were equal and children were not separated.

"Han and Tang Dynasty. Concubines and maids are like slaves, and concubines and maids in the Song Dynasty are not only not slaves, but also have a number of years, like hired laborers. It can be seen from the current situation that between people, after all, they will gradually become equal, and their concubines will eventually be abolished, and one day will be abolished. There is no distinction between high and low. When the Manchurians entered China, the master-slave system they practiced was against the trend. The way of heaven is not ethereal, and it can be seen in this matter that everyone under heaven is one, not empty words, but the avenue that has been set by heaven. ”

Li Shi used the topic to play, and damaged Ru Xiyitong.

Li Kezai's homework is deceptively simple. It's actually very daunting. The social foundation of the royal family fixed heir problem is the family inheritance system, which is in the transition between the old and the new generations, and is facing two great changes in this regard, one is the marriage system, and the other is the concubine system. These two issues are actually two sides of the family inheritance system.

In ancient China, it was monogamous and polygamous, and the division of wives and concubines was determined by the division of concubines.

In ancient China, the more agrarian society was, the more closed and conservative it was, and the more emphasis was placed on the inheritance of concubines and the preservation of family property, so as to ensure that the "economic cells" attached to the land, that is, the family, would not be too fragmented and too drastic. In fact, this is also the foundation of the old ritual law, under this foundation, the distinction between the noble and the low is quite obvious.

However, with the development of industry and commerce, this system has gradually changed, the obvious example is the two Song Dynasty periods, the distinction between the noble and the low was indifferent, the family business changes became more and more frequent, and the ancient tradition of family inheritance was significantly impacted. The right of women in the Song Dynasty to participate in the inheritance of family property has improved a lot compared with the Tang Dynasty, and the concept of concubines has also weakened a lot.

This trend of change was broken by the Mongols, Zhu Ming returned to the agricultural roots, immersed in Confucianism, and the family inheritance system that had been climbing upwards was beaten back and started over. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the core of state power was an alien group of masters and slaves, and the relationship between social individuals and family members could not be further evolved in the direction of equality. …,

The rise of Yinghua and the reconnection of the development of the Song Dynasty have led to the trend that Li Kezai said: there is no distinction between concubines and concubines, concubines become equal wives, and all family members have the right to participate in property inheritance, and the biggest impact of this trend is that men no longer dare to marry concubines so freely, marrying one means sharing a family property.

The elderly An Guozhang An is anxious for his family property, and once he returns to the west, a large family of wives and concubines will tear down his An business empire......

Of course, this trend has also brought a lot of negative effects, and a large number of nameless and unshared, "concubines" began to emerge, and the so-called "concubines" are actually the second wives in Li Xian's previous life [1].

Feminism in Anglo-Chinese China is on the rise, including Li Xiangyu, feminists began to promote "monogamy without concubines", they hold the righteousness of everyone under the way of heaven, their initiatives can completely solve the dispute between the concubines and concubines, and the marriage system of European countries introduced by the Western school is also supporting them, and this wave is gradually emerging.

But Li Xi knows that the monogamy of equality between men and women cannot come too soon, and it will not even take shape within a hundred years. The reason is also very simple, the male tradition is too strong. The tradition of male dignity is determined by the productive forces of society, and before the arrival of the industrial revolution, especially the second industrial revolution, the tide of social production will involve all human beings, regardless of gender, and the patriarchal society will continue for at least a long time.

In China, there is a bad example of the emperor, and once the emperor cannot be monogamous, it is impossible for the state to truly implement this system. Even if the emperor has the intention of being monogamous, he is gambling with the inheritance of imperial power, which is not tolerated by the national system, so this is not a system problem, a legal problem, but a big problem of the entire social system. Monogamy can only be talked about when equality between men and women is achieved in various fields, from cultural concepts to social realities, and even to the foundation of property[2].

Equality is not achieved overnight, but in a circular way, first there is equality between men, and then there is equality between men and women. First, there is equality within the ethnic group, and then there is ethnic equality between different ethnic groups. There is the equality of individuals within the same level of civilization, and then there is the equality of individuals between different levels of civilization. If there is no previous ring, there is no next ring.

What will be the result of stepping over one of these links and getting monogamous ahead of time? It will be the phenomenon of "concubines" that is getting more and more intense. The second wife certainly has no right to participate in the inheritance of property, but what about their children? At that time, the old road will be retaken, and the distinction between the descendants and the concubines that are dissolving will be highlighted again. And the distinction between the noble and the low will also return to the stage of history.

Change means transition, and in this transitional era, there is no distinction between the inheritance of imperial power. There are too many troubles to change to standing long. Of the three main points that Li Kezai talked about, the last two points are all to guard against the hidden dangers left by the Standing Committee.

"There's really no distinction between the two and the young!? If there is a child born to a concubine from a foreign country, isn't it still a concubine? Don't talk about this, it is also a way to establish a long one, but you can not establish a young monarch, and there is a dispute between uncles and nephews, if there is a character like the mourning family again. You British royalty is in full swing! ”

Ru Xi shouted in his heart not to speak, so let them set up such a scarred imperial inheritance, so that this British would end up in three lifetimes at most, but he still couldn't help but pick up the thorn in his mouth. It seems that winning in front of Li Xi is more relieving than the destruction of the entire Great Britain.

"You? Can you become the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but not with the power of your father? ”

Li Kezai also has the style of a father, and stabbed Ru Xi mercilessly. Then he said: "The concubine is only for the people. Of course, outsiders still have grandchildren......"

Not to mention the great righteousness of being one for everyone, it is now only effective for the Chinese people, and there are tens of millions of slaves in Nanyang wailing in suffering......

"It is precisely because we want to guard against people like you that we have to become adults. After the crown ceremony at the age of eighteen, he is qualified to establish a reserve. ”

The Chinese tradition is generally 20 crowns, and the current education system of Yinghua is six years of enlightenment, three years of Mongolian learning, six years of primary school, three years of middle school, eighteen-year-old Chengshi, marked by the age of the Chengshi, eighteen-year-old crown ceremony. …,

does not set up a young monarch, and only becomes a prince when he is an adult, is to ensure that the imperial power is not controlled by relatives, which will cause conflicts in the upper echelons. But this article is particularly ridiculous in Ru Xi's opinion: "Let's just talk about you, when you reign, your son will only be sixteen years old, and your brother will also have the right to succeed to the throne." If something happens to you, and your brother ascends the throne, your wife and concubine, and your son will be convinced? All the people of the country are also convinced? Many people will think that it is time to make your son emperor. What chaos will arise at that time, can you prevent it in advance? Are you willing to take precautions, or are you willing to guarantee in advance that your son will succeed you? ”

Ru Xi sneered and forced a big question, and then ridiculed: "I'm afraid that the method you told your father is not what you really think, when your father goes, how you want to pass on the throne is your own business." ”

Li Kezai was speechless, and suddenly felt that he not only underestimated the difficulty of this problem, but also despised this witch, and actually had the heart to provoke his relationship with his father.

Unexpectedly, Li Xi also agreed: "Ru Xi is right, there is a big problem with this article you have established. ”

Li Kezai argued: "Erchen is out of public interest, as long as the throne belongs to our Li family, why bother with each other?" It was also extremely difficult to sit on this throne, and the sons were terrified when they took it, but they didn't think that the sons of the sons of the sons would be competent. Rather than letting your children and grandchildren cause problems, it is better to clear the hidden dangers in advance to ensure that every British emperor is an adult emperor and will not be held hostage by others. ”

He said again: "The sons also know that there is a big problem with this article, so they set up the crown prince's proposal, just like the father and the emperor were elected by the prime minister to open up the political hall and the two houses, when necessary, the matter of the throne also needs to be reached out by the people of the country, so as not to let our British dragon chair collapse." ”

Li Xi nodded and said: "This is a must, no matter how the throne is passed on, someone must be on the side to supervise and guarantee it." It is not impossible to put the matter of selecting the prime minister on this, but have you thought about the elements in between, such as who is allowed to speak, how to ensure that this right is not manipulated, and how to effectively comply with the results of the general discussion? ”

Li Kezai nodded and said: "Erchen has already thought about writing these into the "Imperial Constitution", and with the power of the law, to ensure that this system is not violated. ”

Li Xi said: "What Ru Xi said just now is not unreasonable, I am at ease with you, but your son, and even your grandson, are unwilling to obey, and you want to change the system when you are in power, so as to protect your selfish intentions, instead of starting from your public heart?" Or is it that the big discussion not only did not lead to results, but instead caused greater controversy between the government and the opposition and divided the people? ”

Li Kezai was speechless, he hadn't thought about it, but if the future really came to that point, it would mean that the situation was chaotic, how could their ancestors take precautions?

Ru Xi interjected sharply: "Get around, get more and more flaws!" In the so-called old Chinese world, hasn't the inheritance of the throne always been discussed by outsiders? Some people want to establish a successor, some people want to establish a virtuous person, but they can't think of being together, so they face each other. This is still discussed by the court and the royal family, and you still have to engage in a big discussion between the government and the opposition. In such a hurry to bring your Great Britain to collapse? ”

She sneered: "Mingli Prince, what's not good, it's still Kangxi's secret construction and storage work!" Emperor meritocracy. Virtue is the right thing. If you want to be virtuous, you have to build a reserve secretly, so that the elder brother can ...... The princes showed their talents. will not become a fat pig idiot like the Zhu Ming clan. ”

Then she said hatefully: "If it weren't for you, Yinghua, who would have risen to the throne, whether it was the fourth or the fourteenth to ascend the throne, the Qing Dynasty would have a virtuous king!" If you want to talk about building a reserve and passing on the throne, you can't do it if you don't want to learn from me! ”

Li Xi looked at Ru Xi and ignored her words, but changed the topic: "The Great Judgment Court will soon start to judge the crimes of the Manchurians, you are the first, whether you live or die." will count your sins. Don't worry about us spilling dirt at will, there will be a lawyer to clarify the historical facts for you. I will not let go of the sins that you deserve, and I will not plant the slightest sin that you should not get. The adjudication of the Grand Court is based on truth and will be established for a hundred years or even a thousand years. It can stand the test of future generations. ”…,

"The Grand Court will not only try you living Manchu culprits, but also start with Nurhachi, and judge the Tartar chiefs one by one. From beginning to end, the sins of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were presented to the world with innocence. This adjudication is not a matter of March or May, and it will not even be completed in three or five years. It's a hundred-year cause. ”

"For this purpose the Grand Court has gathered together the most authoritative, the most senior, the wisest, and the most impartial judges in the Anglo-Chinese State, of whom eight Grand Judges, plus me, are nine of them the presiding judges, and the final verdict on every charge is made by the nine of us. The basis for the conviction was not only the previously promulgated "Decree of Seeking Manchu" and various national laws, but also the "Imperial General Constitution", which was not mentioned in the national constitution, and also the statement of heaven. ”

"Such a great court will not be used only to judge the crimes of the Manchurians, it will always exist, and I, and even every subsequent British emperor, will be the chief judge of the court for life. It will adjudicate the contradictions between the law of the country and the constitution of the country, and adjudicate the disputes of all the people, even if the government, the court, the royal family, and even the law of the country are difficult to decide, and only adjudicate such major matters. ”

"Since the Grand Court can shoulder the final verdict of all disputes, then the dispute over the throne, if the Grand Tribunal cannot be resolved, can also be adjudicated by the Grand Court, which is the last barrier. In addition to the emperor, the eight lifelong magistrates will assume the responsibility of making decisions on the throne disputes with their attainments in the study of national law, national constitution, and the way of heaven, and their authority over the adjudication of disputes in the country. ”

Li Xi brought out the big court that Ru Xi and the other Manchus were about to face, not only Ru Xi was stunned, but Li Kezai's heart was swaying, but he didn't expect his father to arrange such a strong embankment!

Li Xi turned back to the topic: "As for the secret establishment of the prince you mentioned, when the throne is the private interests of the family, this is indeed a good method. But...... The emperor's family is in the world, that is the old world, and in the old world, only you Manchu enslaved China, so that the country really became the emperor's family, and the throne became a private family. How to inherit it, it is all the emperor's private matter, how can the way of private weapons be passed down from one to the other, how can it be used on my Yinghua? ”

Ru liked not easy to pull out his mind, and said-for-tat: "The emperor is a public weapon, this is a beautiful word, that is, it is used to determine people's hearts." I also talk about the Manchu and Han families in the Qing Dynasty, and I also talk about benevolence, Kangxi Ye still goes to the field every year, and you ...... In this face kung fu, it is much worse than Kangxi. ”

Li Xianhe chuckled: "You mean...... Can you Manchu emperors gather the hearts of a country? ”

Ru Xi said: "Isn't it? Otherwise, why is Kangxi called Renjun? That is, you, the grandson monkey, were born, and the world was messed up! ”

Li shook his head disdainfully: "Is that the human heart?" It's just the heart of a slave, the heart of a wolf and a dog. ”

Ru Xi gritted his teeth, thinking about how to argue, and listened to Li Xi say again: "The gang is always outside, the spell is inside, the weak people are foolish, what can the gathered slaves do?" In addition to wagging his tail and praising him, he is stubborn and inhumane. As soon as there is a big disaster, they shrink their heads one after another, and it is the evil wolf that destroys the foundation of Unity Fist that can go into battle. ”

These words are poking at Ru Xi's wounds, from Beijing to Shengjing, his subordinates are either useless people, or villains who only know how to fight for power, and the evil wolf is not only a unity fist, but also a white-eyed wolf.

Seeing that she was speechless, Li Xian said: "I, the British Emperor, the imperial power in my hands is a real public weapon!" It gathers people's hearts, the hearts of those who stand up to the heavens and the earth! Only true people know why they should defend this country and obey the orders of me, the emperor. ”

"I, the emperor, are one with the country and the great interests of the countrymen, and I can allow the people of the country to make their own choices and seek their own future. The hearts of the people gathered in this way do not feel tired of moving mountains and reclamation. There will be no regrets when you throw your head and spill your blood, and your ingenuity will not be consumed in internal strife like a minion......"

A series of words smashed into Ru Xi's heart, making her heart full of bitterness. Yes, who in the world knows better than her. What is the situation of driving the minions to do things? …,

Li Xi looked at his son again: "Whether you are an adult or not, whether you inherit the throne, this is just a detail, I still have one more thing to say about this matter." ”

His face turned serious: "When you were drawing up the plan, did you ever think about what you want to inherit?" Is it just a dragon chair? What is carried on top of the dragon chair? Is it the royal land under the whole world, and the royal power of the king's ministers on the shore of the land? It is the king who wants the minister to die. The imperial power that the minister had to die? Or is it the imperial power of the perfect man in the world, the supreme morality? ”

Later, Li Shi's inquiry was already very severe: "Or is it the imperial power that is contained in the name and position, turning the interests of the world into the benefits of one family?" ”

Li Kezai's heart shook violently, and a series of trance swayed in his mind, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to grasp the true intention of the job that his father had given him. He somewhat confuses the imperial power of the old world with the present world.

Vaguely, I listened to Li Shi say again: "Don't forget the three generations of new theories established by the old master, the emperor of Great Britain is by no means the emperor of the old world!" But what is the difference between this emperor and the old world, I can't be compared with me. Don't forget, the times are still evolving, and the emperor's powers and responsibilities are still changing. ”

Li Xi said in a deep voice: "What I want you to think about is not simply a question of how to inherit the throne. But in this world, how will the emperor of my great kingdom of Great Britain respond to the changes of the times in this changing situation? How can we adapt to the times? What I want you to understand is that the power and responsibility of the British Emperor are not only not unlimited, but will be weakened as the times evolve. How can you and your juniors adjust this power and responsibility to the general trend? At the same time, it also ensures that at a critical juncture, you can still stand up and turn the tide? ”

Li Xian's tone was relaxed, and he said: "As I said just now, Emperor Yinghua is a public weapon, a public instrument that connects the old and the new world. This world continues to evolve, and when people's hearts rise and everyone knows, perhaps this public instrument no longer has to be carried by a family name. At that time, the emperor was an ornament, and he might not even be able to bear the responsibility of decoration, and Huaxia no longer needed an emperor. ”

"You and I, father and son work together, we can only see a hundred years, and after a hundred years, we can't afford too much, but it doesn't mean that we can completely ignore it. What we can do is to lay a framework, even if it is rough, it is a path that future generations can follow. ”

Not only was Li Kezai immersed in a shocking mood, but Ru Xi's heart gradually rose, but there seemed to be something wrong in this direction, and her eyes flashed with a bright and scattered light.

I know! I know you're such a hero! You're looking for a thousand-year-old foundation! We are full of people, and I have been thinking for more than 20 years, not only to block the car, but also to know the ambition of the bird......

Feeling Ru Xi's abnormality, Li Xi said to Ru Xi again: "I have a very soft heart, you know it...... Although the Unity Fist Rebellion and the Shengjing Rebellion were all pushed by you, and even killed Ru'an, it is not a pity for you to die. But when I see you face to face, I can't raise the intention of killing you, you are already like this, and the court will not punish you again. ”

Li Xian's words gradually softened, if Siniang was here, he would definitely have apricot eyes, and felt that he was going to forgive this demon woman.

The heat boiled in Ru Xi's chest, and she gritted her teeth desperately to prevent the heat from surging up her throat or even the corners of her eyes.

"Yongzheng, I can tolerate you, as long as you cooperate with the Great Court and start this century-old trial, I will try my best to facilitate you......"

Li Xi looked at the water tank, and his tone already had a hint of pity: "Anyway, if you are like this, it will be no different from being imprisoned for life." ”

A weird moan rolled in his throat, and Ru Xi suddenly screamed, "I don't want to be manipulated by you anymore!" I'm tired of being your pawn! I came today to let you see my miserable condition, make you happy and happy, and let you be the holy monarch! ”

At this time, she was full of regret, regretting that she hadn't followed Ru An into the water before, and she was gone. She felt Li Shi's pity, and because of this, she felt that her current self was extremely weak and ugly. …,

Li Xian sighed: "You are indeed my pawn, but it is also very surprising that you can struggle to this day." My courtiers also advised me not to let you come forward in the court, let alone pass on the secrets you mentioned to the world, saying that it would damage the face of me, the Emperor of the Holy Dao, after all, the ruler of this world, you can play against me for more than 20 years, and you have been fighting for ...... so far."

Ru Xi was stunned for a moment, and then a sense of accomplishment dispelled the sorrow, this time, the heat surged into the corners of her eyes without hindrance, and she laughed and said: "You are agitating the general, just want me to tell everything I know in the big court, and help you declare the sins of the Manchurians." How could I be fooled by this kind of childish trick!? But you're working in vain, I don't want to die, I still have to fight with you! Even as a prisoner, you don't bow down! ”

I said this in my mouth, but I said in my heart, I just want to say it, everything is said! In this way, even a hundred years later, the world will know that in the world, I am the only one who is qualified to be your opponent, and I am the only one who has fought with you for more than 20 years.

The water tank was carried out, and there were only two fathers and sons in the hall, and after a long time, Li Kezai said in a low voice: "In the past, my mother and relatives said that my father was eloquent, and my sons didn't believe it in the past, but now they believe it......"

Li Kezai really admired it, and let this witch cooperate with the court and tell herself about the crimes of the Manchurians, which he originally thought was impossible. Unexpectedly, his father used him as a bridge, shocked him, and then "moved with affection", this witch actually took the bait! It's horrible......

Li Xian glanced at his son, Sanniang actually counted herself down like this in front of her son? But then he also smiled reservedly, brushed his beard and said secretly, you Lao Tzu and I caught the pen in my previous life, and knew people's hearts.

"I don't know if you kid has this ability, at least you have to appease your Xin girl and Duan girl."

Li Xi saluted his son like this, and then looked at his son's instantly darkened face, and laughed.

After the laughter, Li Xi instructed: "Your thoughts, the details can be postponed and then thought, you should first think about what rights and responsibilities you should take on when you sit on the dragon chair in the future." ”

Li Kezai nodded vigorously: "Erchen understands!" ”

After Li Kezai retreated, the attendant led in another person, dressed in a red and yellow robe, with the pointed hat of King Ming towering high above his head, and a quiet smile blooming on his face, with a hint of respect but could not hide it.

"Kelsang Gyatso came from Lasa, wishing His Majesty the Emperor the restoration of China, the unification of the country, long live long live ......"

The great lama who called himself Kelsang Gyatso knelt on his knees and bowed three times and nine times.

Li Xian smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Kelsang Gyatso, are you here on behalf of the Tibetans?" ”

The 7th Kelsang Gyatso said: "The minister came on behalf of Uszang, on behalf of the millions of Tibetans in Uszang, and begged His Majesty the Emperor to give him a golden scroll, so that he could hide in Britain and enjoy the blessings of the Celestial Empire." ”

Li Xi nodded slowly: "I ...... Yes. ”RQ
