Chapter 576: Relatives (II)
Zheng Hong looked at Wang Guorui, and then hoped that Wang Guorui would take the initiative to give her an answer. The Zheng family's people in the capital invited Zheng Hong to go back to worship their ancestors, and the meaning of this ancestor worship is different. Worshipping ancestors means that they are also a family, which means that they are a family, people of the same big family. And the meaning of the Zheng family is very obvious, that is, they hope to let Zheng Hong go back to worship their ancestors, which means that their Zheng family can also climb the relationship between Zheng Hong, the descendants of Zheng Chenggong, and then they will be regarded as relatives in the future. Once Wang Guorui ascended the throne and became emperor, Zheng Hong was also the queen, and they were all relatives. In this case, they can also tell the world as relatives, tell everyone that they are relatives of the emperor and the country, and let everyone come to please them.
Originally, there was no need to do this, but Zheng Hong's lineage back then was far away in Taiwan, and he had no contact for many years, if he just promoted Zheng Hong and made their Zheng family, then I'm afraid who knows if Zheng Hong will agree at that time? If Zheng Hong doesn't agree, but comes out to refute the rumors, then they will be embarrassed. Therefore, if Zheng Hong is willing to worship his ancestors, it means that Zheng Hong admits that they are a family and has not separated from each other. However, Zheng Hong is also a person who has been a senior military officer for several years, so she naturally knows this. Zheng Hong hoped that Wang Guorui would give her an answer, and she obeyed Wang Guorui's arrangement.
"Hong'er, you decide for yourself!" Wang Guorui said.
"Forget it, I guess I'll go another day!" Zheng Hong said.
When the elders of the Zheng family heard this, they were also a little helpless in their hearts, Zheng Hong did not agree to go back to worship their ancestors on the spot, but just said that another day. But this is another day, when will it be changed, maybe ten or twenty years will also be called another day. However, he was still glad that Zheng Hong did not say death. There is still hope for them.
"Lord Wang, I don't think it's better to let Mrs. Zheng recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors!" Li Zhanfeng said.
This Li Zhanfeng, the new director of the chamberlain, was originally the dean of the Armored Forces Branch of the Military Academy, and now he has been promoted to the director of the chamberlain. And he was originally hung up as a deputy director, but now he is corrected. But. As soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't want Zheng Hong to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so he was obviously telling Wang Guorui that he hoped that Zheng Hong would not be allowed to continue, which would definitely be very unfavorable to them.
"Why?" Wang Guorui asked.
And Li Zhanfeng immediately said: "Lord Wang, if Mrs. Zheng Hong is allowed to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, it will be a very large family of relatives, which will not be good for the future son!" ”
Li Zhanfeng's meaning is very obvious, that is, if these relatives and families control the imperial court, it will definitely not be good. In particular, Wang Guorui now has only one son. That is, the Wang Jiazhao born to Zheng Hong. As for the daughter of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, this one is not able to inherit the throne of China in the eyes of everyone. Maybe in the future, Wilhelmina's daughter will not be a Chinese princess, she will just be a Dutch princess. Therefore, at present, the only heir who can be recognized by the grand prize is Zheng Hong's son Wang Jiazhao, because no matter the order in which Zheng Hong enters, whether it is the eldest or youngest, it is the first heir. In this case, if Zheng Hong still has a large family of relatives, it is easy for relatives to affect the power of the future heir.
"Among our women, only Zheng Hong has a relative? If so. That will definitely affect in the future. Originally, we did not have any relatives in Taiwan, even if we did. It's not big. And if Zheng Hong has a big family, it will definitely be a force no matter what. Wang Guorui thought.
Wang Guorui is indeed a little worried, because judging from the current situation, only Zheng Hong can have the status of a relative, and he is still a big family to rely on. Others, such as Kang Tongwei. is also a Kang Youwei, this Kang Youwei is already a dead tiger, not worth mentioning. As for other women, such as Tanya Natasha and the future Yuriko, it is impossible to have relatives. And Liu Xue once had an elder brother Liu Enguan. But Liu Enguan has been executed, and the Dutch have also cleaned up the Liu family, so naturally there will be no problems with relatives. As for that Chen Lan, they are of the Gaoshan tribe, and in the case of the vast majority of Han people, they will not allow people from the Gaoshan tribe to interfere in state affairs as relatives. As for the last Duncan, how can an American be in China? In everyone's eyes, Duncan is just a spice in Wang Guorui's life, and he doesn't even have the status of an official concubine. As for any other woman, in the future, that De Ling Rongling will only be used to appease those old and young people of the Manchu Dynasty, and it will not be of much use, and the people of the new government will not allow the old and young people of the Manchu Dynasty to be resurrected again, so they cannot be qualified as relatives.
On the whole, in fact, Wang Guorui's relatives are not serious, and Wang Guorui's women do not have any huge family power. In this kind of situation where the family power is not large, it is natural that there is no need to worry about being affected by relatives, so the next step is not to worry about the loss of power.
"Lord Wang, if Mrs. Zheng recognizes them as relatives, will they get carried away and do whatever they want? Even, if you further let your relatives influence the court, then this will not work! Since ancient times, foreign relatives have interfered in politics, and this has never been rare. So, I think it's better to let Mrs. Zheng Hong keep her distance from them. Only by keeping their distance will they be worried, they will be able to be afraid, and they will not be too arrogant. At that time, even the relatives will not be able to influence the new king, and they will not be able to control the country. Li Zhanfeng said.
However, Wang Guorui finally shook his head and said, "Hong'er, if you want to recognize your relatives, you can go too!" ”
"What? Husband, do you still agree with me to go? Zheng Hong asked incredulously.
Because Zheng Hong didn't expect Wang Guorui to still allow her to recognize her relatives, especially Li Zhanfeng has already said this, it naturally tells Wang Guorui that Zheng Hong has a huge family around him, and once this family enters the imperial court, it will also be an upside-down situation. At that time, Wang Guorui's family was not big, and Wang Guorui's connection with his own family was not deep, and even on the contrary, Wang Guorui was still very cold to his family and did not have much feelings, so in this case, if Zheng Hong's family joined the court together, it would be easy to cause power to fall upside down, so Wang Guorui's descendants would be troublesome.
And Zheng Hong is actually very worried, once he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, what will happen to his son? At that time, his son Wang Jiazhao will also have a huge maternal family, and at that time, this huge maternal family may also put their chips on the offspring born by the women of their own family, and it is easy to form a nepotism. As a male lord, when choosing an heir, they will not be completely based on their ability, and more often it depends on their biological mother's background. The background of these birth mothers is sometimes considered in many ways. In a large case, when a male lord chooses an heir, he often does not choose those sons whose mother family is too strong as his heir. Once the mother clan is too powerful, it is easy to cause the result of losing power. And those kings want to choose a situation where there is a certain amount of maternal power support, but the maternal family is not very strong. At present, those who are qualified to give birth to Wang Guorui and have the right to inherit are Zheng Hong and Liu Xue. It's not that other women are infertile, it's a matter of their ethnic composition. Tanya, Natasha, Yuriko, and Duncan are all foreigners, and even if they give birth to offspring, they will not be able to have the right to inherit.
However, Zheng Hong is also very worried, in case he recognizes these family members, it will be a double-edged sword! Although recognizing these family members can make his mother's family much stronger. But on the other hand, it also makes Wang Guorui a lot of jealousy, once his son has a too strong mother's family, it will affect his future inheritance. In particular, this kind of mother's power is too strong, not only is it not a plus, but a major minus. Wang Guorui is still young, maybe he will have more women in the future, and if he really wants to let go of childbearing in the next few decades, it may even be possible to have hundreds of offspring at the limit. Even if it is reduced by half, there will be fifty. So if your relatives are too strong, you may be able to "lose points" for your son.
Zheng Hong knew one thing, that is, there was no so-called inheritance order in Wang Guorui's heart. And now is a new era, and the traditional rules of the elders have almost collapsed. Whether his son Wang Jiazhao can inherit Wang Guorui's position depends entirely on Wang Guorui's own thoughts. At that time, if Wang Guorui was afraid that his son's mother clan would be powerful and powerful, he would not be able to inherit the throne. This is what Zheng Hong is most worried about, and at that time, maybe Zheng Hong also lost a lot because of a small loss. How can these relatives, who have been separated by an unknown number of generations, have the future of their sons important?
"Actually, don't worry so much, the so-called relatives, that's just a deformed product under the imperial autocracy. You are also a little overhearted, this kind of relatives is a strange phenomenon produced by the autocracy of imperial power. If we can govern the country according to the law in the future, even if our relatives commit crimes, we will be able to enforce them in accordance with the law. If my relatives really have the ability to let them serve in the government, I will not reject them, because everything depends on the election. If the people trust him, then what if we let him be the prime minister for a few years? Anyway, when it comes to the term of office, they still have to get out, and the emperor can't help them. Therefore, as long as everything is governed by law, there will be no problem. Wang Guorui said. (To be continued......)
