Chapter 259: Ruling by Vertical Arch (II)
"You want to know how to solve it thoroughly. The palace and relatives interfere in politics? It's actually very simple, that's according to my theory, after that. The palace and relatives are all by-products of imperial power, and the source of their power is the supreme imperial power. And even if you put an end to the concubines and relatives of an emperor, sooner or later there will be more concubines and relatives to interfere in politics. This is a problem of the system, a consequence of the supremacy of imperial power, and it is not something that can be solved by saying that it will be solved. And if you want to really eradicate the interference of concubines and relatives, the best, most direct and thorough way is to make the emperor have no power, so that everyone in the world thinks that the emperor should not directly hold power, so that the imperial power is gone, isn't it possible to solve the problem of concubines and relatives interfering in politics? Wang Guorui said.
Hearing this, Ouyang Xuan immediately turned pale and said, "Ten thousand deaths, look at my mouth!" Please forgive your sins! I will not object to Madame continuing to hold the post of director of the political department. ”
And those other guys, their faces also turned pale, because according to what Wang Guorui said, if you want to eradicate the concubine and her relatives to interfere in politics, you must eradicate the soil for the rights of the concubine and her relatives, that is, the imperial power, which is really a big rebellion! You must know that no one in the world now dares to openly call for the abolition of the imperial power, and these Chinese have been deeply affected by the emperor's sacred and inviolable thoughts since childhood, so naturally they dare not say such things. So when they heard Wang Guorui propose to eradicate the concubine and his relatives from interfering in politics, it must be deposed together with the imperial power, which made them pale with fright. Because according to this meaning, if they want to eradicate the concubines and relatives interfering in politics, then they must depose the imperial power, isn't this a big rebellion?
And Wang Guorui is one step away from the emperor, if Wang Guorui is willing, he can be called the emperor immediately. But the reason why Wang Guorui didn't become emperor immediately was because he was still thinking about the mainland. If he becomes emperor immediately, it will be a sweet poison, once he becomes emperor, then it will be much more difficult for him to fight back to the mainland, after all, foreign devils are not easy to mess with. If once called the emperor. That is to establish a separate country, so that foreigners will have a reason to interfere with Taiwan's entry into the mainland. Again, the times are different, and in this era, the Chinese side will inevitably have to look at the face of the West. So you can't do whatever you want like you have done for hundreds of years. But it is precisely because Wang Guorui did not claim the title of emperor and chose to fight back to the mainland, which makes many people think that Wang Guorui is a real hero and a hero! Because he can resist the attraction of being the emperor, this is simply not an ordinary person.
And these ancients are actually different. The reason why Wang Guorui was able to endure being the emperor was because he was deeply educated by later generations, and he was a little scornful of the identity of the emperor, and he was not too enthusiastic about being the emperor, so he was able to resist. If Wang Guorui was born in ancient times, he might not be able to resist the attraction of being an emperor. But Wang Guorui endured it, which made these ancients really feel that Wang Guorui was a great man. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to endure the attraction of being the king, so that he could achieve great things. Those who have a little power and become kings have no future at all.
"Hey, it seems that these ancient people are still in awe of imperial power. Don't dare to mess around. Perhaps, this is the last train I can catch to become an emperor. If I play for more than ten years, then maybe I don't want to build an empire at all in my life! Wang Guorui thought a little self-deprecatingly.
Wang Guorui knows that these ten years are the last train to be an emperor, if it is more than ten years late, at that time, the idea of democracy and republic has begun to sweep through China, and no one wants to be an emperor. And Lao Yuan's lesson must not be ignored, because at that time, everyone yearned for a democratic republic, and he was the emperor against the sky, and there was no good end. And in the past ten years, the people still recognize that there is an emperor. So I was able to have the opportunity to be the emperor in the last ten years. If it is more than ten years late, even if you have a red alert system, you will not be able to become an emperor. Even if you have the world's most powerful force, once you die. Then I am afraid that retribution will also be retributed to future generations, after all, future generations do not have a red alarm system.
But Wang Guorui also knows that even if he becomes the emperor, his descendants may have fewer rights from generation to generation, after all, the mainstream of the future is democracy, not **. The most Wang Guorui can do is to mix an iron rice bowl for the vast majority of his descendants without worrying about eating and drinking. It's impossible to dominate the world like it used to. This is understood by everyone in the Kingdom of Later Generations.
Of course, if Wang Guorui has to implement the monarch, this is not completely impossible. That is, like in later generations, those countries that still practice monarchy in the 21st century are overwhelmingly backward and feudal countries. For example, in a country where the Qur'an is used as a law, and some black uncles in Africa, their results can be imagined. Therefore, for the sake of the country's strength, Wang Guorui had to give up the practice of being able to make his descendants monarchs.
And Wang Guorui also feels fortunate that these people still have a deep awe of imperial power, so that their descendants can slowly reduce their rights, so that they will not be completely eliminated by any revolution at one time. Bloodshed can be avoided in this process of change, which is what Wang Guorui can do.
"Well, you guys also have good intentions, and I won't pursue it. I have my own plans for the heir. I'm still young enough to have an heir so quickly. And my son, Wang Jiazhao, can be used as a backup, but I don't plan to make him an official heir for the time being. There must be quite a few more of my sons in the future, and we will talk about it then. Wang Guorui said.
Hearing this, Zheng Hong's face couldn't help but turn pale for a while, but it soon recovered. Zheng Hong didn't expect that Wang Guorui did not officially appoint his newborn son as the heir, which made Zheng Hong a little depressed. However, Zheng Hong soon recovered, because his son was the eldest son no matter how young or young he was, so it was not very likely that the future throne would fall. As long as you don't die, it's basically a certainty. So although Zheng Hong was a little disappointed at first, she finally chose to be silent.
And Wang Guorui doesn't want to set up an heir so quickly, in fact, he also has his own plans. He already had a method for selecting an heir, rather than a method that was all prescribed by the previous emperor himself, and this method had many drawbacks. Wang Guorui plans to change the method of producing an heir, but no one knows this method yet, and Wang Guorui is only buried in his heart, and he hopes that it will not be announced until the time is ripe. As for this son, he is just a prop used to stabilize the hearts of the Taiwanese army and the people, but in fact, in his heart, he is not the heir completely decided by Wang Guorui. What's more, if the heir is established too early, there will also be a group of teams united in the heir, which will cause conflicts between the heir and the incumbent emperor, and finally the father and son will fight. And the Manchu Qing Dynasty has one point that must have solved this problem, that is, the secret edict of the prince. Although this method is not perfect, it solves part of it, avoids the contradiction between the crown prince and the emperor to compete for power, and ensures the imperial power. However, Wang Guorui did not immediately erect an heir, not to ensure his imperial power, but to ensure that the imperial power and democratic rights can smoothly transition in the future, so as not to cause too much bloodshed.
"Well, I'm just going to say here that I'm actually in favor of the rule of the arch, just like England." Wang Guorui said.
Smart people don't need to say the second time, and the vast majority of those present are smart people. Since Ouyang Xuan became the premier of Taiwan, she has also learned a lot about international events, especially Western history. He heard Wang Guorui's approval of the Western British model, and Ouyang Xuan had mixed feelings in his heart. The good thing is that in the future, there will not be a ** emperor who will make a decision on the heads of their courtiers, these courtiers can live a stable life, not be afraid of losing their heads when they will be, and they can also govern in peace.
But Ouyang Xuan was also worried, because he had studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he didn't know how to face the era when the emperor didn't care about things. After all, he had no experience, so he was full of fears about the future, which made him feel a deep challenge.
And this kind of mixed mood is also a sentiment shared by all the civil and military officials here. If the emperor really doesn't care about things in the future and is willing to be a "clown" who eats mixed rice, then they don't know how to deal with this kind of day. However, everyone can only take on the challenge head-on, and there is no other way. The tide of history is mighty, and everyone can only drift in the water, and disobedience can only be the result of the ship's capsizing and death, even Wang Guorui is no exception. And Wang Guorui also secretly promised in such a disguise, so they were all relieved about the situation of the concubine and his relatives interfering in politics. Because the imperial power will gradually die out in the future, let alone the by-products of the imperial power of the concubines and relatives? These two by-products naturally died together with the imperial power, and there was no second word.
"Lord Wang, let's retire!" Ouyang Xuan said.
Soon, those who had received Wang Guorui's disguised promise also left. Although they were not very satisfied with Wang Guorui's continued to let Zheng Hong manage the government department, they all got Wang Guorui's promise from another aspect, so they would not be bored. If it's not interesting at this time, then it's really going to be cleaned up by the kingdom. (To be continued.) )
