Chapter 793: Zhongyue (I)
"It's just two days."
Zhang Shusheng finished handling government affairs early in the morning, and ordered not to disturb himself if there was no major matter, and returned to the royal harem alone and came to Fu Huiyu's residence.
"Mom, how is your talking body?"
As soon as I entered the small courtyard, I saw Fu's mother drying cloth, all of which were prepared for children, and the old people said that raising children was still a good set of old ones, and Zhang Shusheng naturally recognized it.
"Shen Xing is coming."
Although Fu's mother knew that this son-in-law was very easy-going and did not have the emperor's frame, their generation still recognized the royal majesty very much, and they were a little nervous, but they did not dare to call His Majesty Zhang Shusheng, Zhang Shusheng asked the closest elders to call him Zhang Shenxing, which not only avoided the emperor's real name, but also did not lose etiquette.
"The body is very good, but the mood is very nervous, you talk to her, enlighten and enlighten."
The daughter is favored, and she can be the first to conceive a child, Fu's mother doesn't know how many times she has burned high incense in private, although it is now a new society, but the set in the bones of the Chinese is still very popular.
Zhang Shusheng nodded and entered the house.
"How's it going?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine."
Fu Huiyu was naturally very happy when he saw Zhang Shusheng coming in, put down the small belly pocket that was being embroidered in his hand, moved his body slightly, and gave Zhang Shusheng a position.
Zhang Shusheng helped her sit on the edge of the bed, first stroked her stomach and listened, the movement was very loud, she could clearly hear the heartbeat, and her vitality was very strong.
"You've worked hard for the past two years, and the journey of thousands of miles will come to an end in these two days, don't think too much, you know?"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be nervous, but when I think that he will be the crown prince in the future, I can't help but think about it."
There is no one else here, Fu Huiyu naturally dares to say anything, she can not be nervous in her heart, it is strange that her son was designated as the crown prince of the empire before he was born, what a chance.
The empire's territory now covers the entire Lost Star Domain, its long-distance trade and near-range attacks are impressive, it is not afraid of strong enemies from all sides, its economic development is rapid, and its military strength is strong, all of which show that the future potential of the empire is limitless.
can become the crown prince of such a thriving and powerful empire, as long as he does not take the wrong path in the future, and cultivates virtue, he may inherit the throne.
But it is precisely like this, she is nervous, for a while she is afraid that the birth process will not go well, for a while she is worried that her son will be arrogant and difficult to manage, for a while she is even more worried about whether other sisters will be jealous of her, and for a while she is worried about whether her son's future road to the throne will be smooth.
"Alas, what do you want to do so much."
Zhang Shusheng could guess what Fu Huiyu was thinking in his heart, which was also the reason why he insisted on making the crown prince at the beginning, there are always many problems in different families in the empire, although he has already made a conclusion about the arrangement of the heirs in his heart, but it is too early to say it now, but seeing Fu Huiyu's worried look, he can't bear it.
"Speak, you don't have to think about it, I have repeatedly checked, our children are very, very good in both physical and mental development, and as long as they are properly disciplined in the future, education will definitely be the pillars of civilization.
I understand your worries.
Today, there are no outsiders here, and I promise you that our crown prince, as long as he passes the virtue test in the future, even if he is inferior to other princes in terms of wisdom and strategy, he will definitely be able to ascend the throne smoothly. ”
Zhang Shusheng said openly and honestly that this crown prince will never have problems in terms of body and qualifications, which means that he cannot be an ignorant person.
The royal education could not make him a simple ignorant and dumb king.
The most important thing is virtue, there are many people who have great wisdom and strategy, but they are a master of eternity, such a person is the most terrifying.
When it is almost impossible for the imperial family to have that kind of fool-like crown prince, as long as the virtue is passed, Zhang Shusheng still prefers the primogeniture inheritance system and the primordial deferred system.
Of course, virtue, as the key to a veto, is the absolute bottom line.
"But, Your Majesty, once our children are only the mean, how can we control the empire in the future as you say."
Fu Huiyu said worriedly.
Zhang Shusheng shook his head and said: "The emperor's misguided country, the more civilized the period, the more likely it is to happen. And once the civilization develops to a very high form, it becomes more and more difficult for an emperor to harm a civilization, unless it is a cumulative ill of the times, such as the Hafu Empire.
The more civilization develops, the rule of man will gradually give way to the rule of law, and the will of the individual will give way to the will of the race.
Power will become more and more centralized, and at the same time, it will become more and more decentralized, with a sound mechanism, a perfect system, and the imperial power will be supervised from top to bottom.
It can be said that if the emperor is right, then the emperor's power will be infinitely magnified, and it will not be difficult to destroy a civilization.
But if the emperor is wrong, he will first face the opposition of countless hundreds of millions of people, public opinion is developed, information is disseminated more conveniently, and the voices from the people and the middle and lower classes are unstoppable.
Secondly, he will also face concentrated doubts from the ruling class, if it is just one person or a few people, such as Zhou Guolai, one person questions me, it has no impact, but once the entire grassroots, middle and high-level ruling class is united, such a force is very terrifying, and it is enough to affect the fate of the faint king.
In addition, the most important is the self-regulatory mechanism of the royal family.
This is the most important thing. ”
"The regulatory mechanism of the royal family?"
"Hmmm! For example, there is a Supreme Power Council at the highest level of our empire, and I will be the head of this organization for a long time to come, and it will directly supervise the entire civilization, including the royal family and the political axe, of course.
In addition, in many advanced civilizations, whether it is the Duchy Empire or the United Kingdom, these imperial societies, when the royal family is large enough, there is an organization called the Royal Family Presbytery, and many members of the royal family with both ability and integrity enter the Presbyterian Council, which is very effective in internal supervision and external monitoring.
Think about it, if a bunch of royals didn't become emperor, wouldn't they seriously supervise the person who did? ””
The future envisioned by Zhang Shusheng will be a huge empire.
"In the future, our Chinese Empire will have dozens or even hundreds, thousands of administrative planets, and after so many administrative planets are divided into administrative regions, each member of the royal family will receive a certain region or a certain planet as an honorary territory.
It will be a new system of princes.
They and their future spawn will enjoy the planet's eternal share of the tax, but at the same time, they will be evaluated and supervised, they may have great wealth, but they will not be able to own private fleets, and their guards will also be provided by the emperor [***] side, and rotate regularly.
No matter how much wealth they have, it will always be only a fixed and small point of the planet's tax revenue, which is linked to the actual economic development level of the planet and will not affect the national economy and people's livelihood. When the family is getting bigger and bigger, and the distribution of interests is becoming more and more tense, if you want to gain more power and more wealth, you can only rely on yourself.
No matter how high their status is, they will never be able to rise above the entire royal family, because the entire royal family will be composed of countless royal families, and all royal families must maintain their dignity.
No matter how large their guards are, they do not belong to them, and they can keep them safe, but they will not listen to them, let alone help them in their rebellion. ”
In Zhang Shusheng's view, there are many reasons why there were many problems in the ancient princely system.
In ancient times, those disobedient princes, accumulating grain, casting iron, selling salt, rebelling and oppressing the localities, this was the ambition of the wolf, and the power of the empire was weakened and the supervision of the local area was unfavorable.
But what about the future?
The information is developed, the supervision is in place, those who want to rebel will be discovered before they start to prepare, and those who want to rebel will not even have enough fleet, and they may face the suppression of ten iron-blooded fleets of 100 fleets. It is estimated that the overbearing and oppressive places have only been exposed.
Even those powerful royal families in the future, whether they are in business or politics, there are a lot of people staring at them, and it is more difficult to make some small moves than to ascend to the sky. Pressure from the Empire and the Royalty will crush them.
And those obedient princes in ancient times, there are also some very miserable, the family is huge, there are more and more people, money and food are becoming more and more tight, decay is still a trivial matter, there are many people who have no money and no food, and there are not a few descendants of the Zhu family who died of starvation in the typical Ming Dynasty. There are reasons why the family members are huge, and there are also reasons why the social economy is backward and cannot afford to raise too many idlers.
But what about the future?
Even the poorest administrative star can reach a very rich level, although there will still be rich and poor, but the phenomenon of extreme poverty is difficult to appear unless it is in extreme circumstances, and real poverty will gradually disappear, as long as the imperial power does not weaken, at least there is no problem in living an interstellar ** life.
In this case, the feudal royal family took a very small part of the planet's taxes, which could not only ensure that they could feed themselves and live a prosperous life, but also not compete with the people for profit, and pay the price for the imperial axe that collected one less tax point.
No matter how many members of the royal family there are, there is no problem with this fixed wealth guaranteeing wealth.
Of course, if for other special reasons, these royal branches go bankrupt or what, Zhang Shusheng has also considered it, in addition to the fixed tax share, the imperial royal family will also have a special fund for royal family members, which can provide emergency relief, and all royal families will pay for it to form a royal social security, and their own people will protect their own people, so that they will not be miserable to the streets.
"Your Majesty, then I will rest assured, I will definitely teach the prince well.
Your Majesty, have you thought of the name of our son? ”
Fu Huiyu had a feeling, it seemed that it was the delivery period, and as His Majesty and the doctors said, she completely let go of the worries in her heart and just waited for the prince to be born.
Zhang Shusheng nodded, Fu Huiyu has been pregnant for two years, and he has already thought about such things as names.
"Since my son is the future crown prince, the first priority is virtue, and he always needs to put hundreds of millions of sons and daughters of China first and the people in his heart, and the people must be like the mountains in his heart.
Of course, the empire will rise in the future, my son's name is not as good as a good omen, in my heart to the people as the mountains, all countries are like peaks in my Huaxia as the middle, just call Zhang Zhongyue. ”
When Fu Huiyu heard this, he had already burst into tears, stroked his towering belly, and muttered to himself.
"Nakatake...... Zhongyue, my son Zhongyue, you must fight for strength, and live up to the expectations of me and your father and even hundreds of millions of my Chinese people in the future! (To be continued.) )
