Chapter 833: The Emperor's Bitter Life
"Wow, wow, wow" Just as Liu Nian Feng and His Majesty the Emperor were talking about earthy love words, a howling cry suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the two people, His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly picked up a child lying in the cradle, began to soothe, and in front of Liu Nian Feng, he directly opened his collar and began to feed.
Well, compared to the last time I snapped, His Majesty the Emperor's size is significantly larger, and it seems that pregnancy is not without benefits.
"Is this my child?" Liu Nianfeng also walked to the child's side with some excitement, this child is actually almost a year old, no longer has the wrinkled appearance of a baby, but has become quite round, and the two eyes are very energetic, like elves.
"Looks a little like me!" Liu Nianfeng said with a smile, and then suddenly thought of something, and directly lifted the child's small quilt and glanced at it.
"Hmm! This with a handle! Seeing the familiar little bug, Liu Nianfeng immediately said with some excitement. This is not Liu Nianfeng's first child, Liu Nianfeng already has two children, but these two children are girls, this is Liu Nianfeng's first son.
Although Liu Nianfeng is not patriarchal, he is still happy to see his son.
"Why, you're not happy to be a handle!" On the contrary, His Majesty the Emperor asked a little unhappily when he saw Liu Nianfeng's movements and expressions.
"Clam ......" Liu Nianfeng was stunned for a moment.
"What? If I didn't give you a daughter, you would be disgusted with me, wouldn't you!! His Majesty the Emperor glared at Liu Nianfeng very unhappily, "You are so patriarchal, do you have to have a daughter?" ”
"Uh...... No, I absolutely don't! Liu Nianfeng suddenly realized, His Majesty the Emperor of Feelings thought that he was a woman over a man, and hoped to give birth to a daughter, no wonder his expression just now was so ugly.
"No, no, I'm patriarchal, I definitely don't have patriarchy!" Liu Nian Feng immediately said with the posture of swearing to the sky.
"Humph!" His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, and then sighed again, "Actually, your thoughts are also normal, I also hope to have a daughter, so that I can inherit the throne in the name of righteousness, and those courtiers will not admonish me because of this." But he is a boy, so as soon as this child is born, let alone the support of the royal family, even those ministers do not support me! ”
"They say that the emperor's younger brother is already an adult, and has taken over a lot of experience in court politics, so he is the most suitable successor, and it is too dangerous to hand over the empire to a minor child. If I am born to a girl, then with the inheritance system of the eldest daughter, this child has an innate advantage. It's a pity that this is a boy, even if I am the emperor, I can't compete with the power of the court! His Majesty the Emperor lamented.
"Understood! Understand! Liu Nianfeng nodded, even in ancient China, where imperial authority was heavy, many emperors in the late feudal period did not have the right to decide on the inheritance of the throne. Especially the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to want another son of his choice to be the crown prince, and those ministers will desperately stop the emperor, and the emperor must choose the future prince according to the system of primogeniture.
It can be said that most of the reason for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty was because of this system.
The primogeniture system can certainly stabilize the inheritance rights, so that those princes who were born a few minutes later will cut off their thoughts about the throne from the moment they are born and avoid disputes over the throne.
But there is also a huge disadvantage in this way, that is, for the inability to choose a suitable successor to the throne, as long as those princes work hard to keep themselves alive, they will definitely be able to wait until the day they inherit the throne, even if they are a sick fool, they can inherit the throne because of this, and they cannot choose the best prince to inherit.
However, a stupid successor is not the real reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, after all, when the position of the crown prince was determined from an early age, the prince must have received an extremely elite education since he was a child, unless he was born a fool, it is impossible to be stupid, in fact, there is no fool in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Then the question arises, where are the drawbacks of this system, and the last successor is not a normal emperor?
The disadvantage of this system is that the power of civil officials is too great, and when civil officials can decide to succeed to the throne, then even as a crown prince, they must curry favor with civil officials and promise that they will guarantee such civil politics after succeeding to the throne.
In the end, the power of the civil officials became greater and greater, and the military attachés were completely suppressed, and even the imperial power was suppressed in the end, and the emperor almost became a rubber stamp, and once he bypassed the cabinet, he could not do anything.
Once the power of civil officials is suppressed even by the emperor, then there will be no opponent outside, and there is only one choice at this time, that is, to create an opponent and opponent.
This opponent can be the eunuch group, the spokesperson of the emperor, or it can be a self-split within the civil official group, anyway, there must be an opponent, there must be a party struggle, otherwise the civil officials will not survive.
And what really led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not something else, it was the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty......
Hey, it seems to be too far, it's normal, at this time, the imperial power of the human empire is not as good as the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, so His Majesty the Emperor has no say in the heir at all, it all lies with the civil officials in the court and the military attachés in the military department.
And because Leng Qiumin has been cultivated as an heir for more than 20 years, he has countless wings in the imperial court, and these officials must not be able to accept the fact that their masters will not be able to succeed to the throne in the future, so these people are naturally on Leng Qiumin's side, His Majesty the Emperor has tried several times, but no one supports our His Majesty the Emperor.
"So later I also figured it out, this throne will be given to Qiu Min, I don't care about this position, as long as the winter official has a happy life in the future and a happy life, I will be satisfied!" His Majesty the Emperor hugged his child and said, "So I signed an agreement with Qiu Min, promising to abdicate as soon as possible and give him the throne, and Qiu Min only needs to guarantee that I will be given a thousand administrative planets as a fief and give him the title of a free prince, I will be satisfied!" ”
"So that's what happened!" Liu Nianfeng nodded when he heard this, and then said with some doubts, "What about later?" Since you've reached an agreement with Qiu Min, why did you leave secretly? Isn't this a waste of work? ”
"Because I found out that some people don't want to give our mothers the things they agreed upon!" His Majesty the Emperor said indignantly, "The military department is extremely opposed to this agreement, and then they decided to seal our mother and mother to the Jiangzhou Star District, saying that they will divide a thousand administrative stars from the Jiangzhou Star Region to us!" ”
"These bastards, there are only five planets that have been developed in the entire Jiangzhou Star Zone, these guys are planning to send our mother and daughter to that barren starry sky, these bastards!"
"It's impossible for me to be at their mercy, I think about it, I want a thousand administrative planets near the Heavenly Court Star, I will occupy the position here now, after the raw rice is cooked and cooked, I want to see if those bastards in the military department have the courage to resist the decree openly!"
"......" Liu Nianfeng was speechless when he heard it, he never thought that there was such a nonsense story behind this matter.
His Majesty the Emperor is actually going to be divided into the Jiangzhou Star District, and it will be divided into his own territory, which is very nonsense, if His Majesty the Emperor comes with his own son, he will ask himself if he wants a thousand administrative planets, whether to give or not to give it, this is a very nonsense question.
However, if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because once His Majesty the Emperor is assigned to the Jiangzhou Star District, it means that the Jiangzhou Star Region will have a legal name completely.
Whether it is de jure or de facto, the Jiangzhou Star District is something that belongs to his own Liunian family, well, although it is his own son on the surface, but he is still a baby, and things must be controlled by his biological father, then the ancestral dragon star town guard can no longer avoid the relationship with the human empire, nor do they have to completely sever the relationship between the two, and they can get along with each other openly, which is a huge benefit!
However, there will be drawbacks in this, that is, once His Majesty the Emperor comes, she will never come alone, and she will also bring a lot of retinues and a lot of her own people. Judging from the worldview of this world, after these people arrive, they will definitely frantically try to seize power from their ancestral dragon star town guards.
If His Majesty the Emperor is willing to be his own woman obediently, it would be fine, but if she was not the emperor enough, she had to point fingers and seize the supreme power of the Ancestral Dragon Star Town Guarding Mansion, it would be very painful.
"No, my Ancestral Dragon Star Town Guard Mansion can't let His Majesty the Emperor intervene, otherwise I will definitely not be able to handle the matter of Alice and His Majesty the Emperor!" Liu Nianfeng quickly made a decision in his heart, so he immediately said to His Majesty the Emperor, "Your Majesty, what you said is right, I will definitely fully support you, so that the more than 1,000 administrative planets near this Heavenly Court Star will all become your fiefdoms!" ”
"It's not my fiefdom, it's the fiefdom of our Winter Official Child!" His Majesty the Emperor hugged his child and said, "Unfortunately, things are not so simple, although I have already laid out in advance, and even did not hesitate to use my chess pieces in the military headquarters to replace the admirals of many towns and guards in the vicinity with admirals who are loyal to me. ”
"But I still have too little time, so I ended up laying out less than 20% of the planets. If you want to coerce the military department to submit and agree to divide the 1,000 planets here to us, then I feel that I must master more than 50% of the planets, and you must also get the support of the Metropolitan Governor of the Town Guard Mansion who is in charge of this piece of earth, only if this Metropolitan Governor is willing to stand on my side, I will have more confidence to bargain with the military department! ”
"The Metropolitan Governor...... Is it Chen Shihan? Liu Nianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said. After Chen Shihan achieved the position of major general, because there was no admiral in the entire Tianting Star who could compare with Chen Shihan in military rank, so although Chen Shihan had no name, he became the de facto governor, and it is said that Chen Shihan has the right to command and dispatch thousands of nearby town guards, after all, the military rank is there.
And a year ago, with the continuous improvement of Chen Sihan's merits and strength, the military department simply appointed Chen Shihan to the position of governor, and nominally became the governor of more than 1,000 stars and planets and the Admiral's Mansion in the vicinity.
Therefore, the governor in the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor must be Chen Shihan.
