"It seems that I really misunderstood Xiao Wu." In King An's mansion, Xiao Lingpu sighed.

He rushed to the front in the struggle for the throne, and as a result, he became a cripple. And Xiao Lingyan became the final winner.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Lingyan had been paralyzed and had not been cured for so long, his psychology would definitely be distorted, feeling that everything was manipulated by Xiao Lingyan behind his back, and he was like a second fool rushing to the front and giving Xiao Lingyan a thunderbolt.

Some time ago, as Xiao Lingyan recovered from his illness and became the recognized future prince of the entire Great Jin Dynasty, this idea unconsciously popped up in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

But for the sake of Zhao Ruxi, Xiao Lingyan would rather not be a prince than a concubine, this kind of indifference to fame and fortune and did not pay attention to what they were fighting for at all, which completely dispelled Xiao Lingpu's suspicions.

His own brother never thought of snatching the throne, he has always been so simple and kind.

Xiao Lingpu's doormen Lu Fei and Liu Tingrun couldn't say anything.

Could it be that Xiao Lingyan wants to retreat as advance?

With the current situation in Dajin, does Xiao Lingyan still need to play these tricks? Is it necessary to play this hand, but push away the real power figures such as the military department Shangshu who took the initiative to get up?

"Lord Wang, why don't you persuade His Royal Highness King Qi." Lu Fei said, "Let him not give up the throne for a woman, and let the six princes pick up the cheap." But you almost got your life high for the throne, and so did King Qi. In his eyes, is the weight of the throne really so light? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Tingrun also said.

He understood what Lu Fei meant. In this way, you can try Xiao Lingyan's idea.

If Xiao Lingyan really has no intention of taking the throne, it will be a good opportunity for their prince; If Xiao Lingyan is interested, it can also arouse the fighting spirit of the prince. Instead of being completely fooled by King Qi like now.

Xiao Lingpu nodded slowly: "Okay." ”

On the same day, he went to the Qi Palace, and told Xiao Lingyan what Lu Fei said.

"Brother, do you really think it's good to be an emperor?" Xiao Lingyan looked at him with the eyes of a fool.

Then he folded his fingers and counted Xiao Ling's score: "First of all, the emperor seems to be the most noble person in the world. The result? For the sake of the heirs, we have to wait for all kinds of women like a stallion every day, and to put it mildly, we are no different from the women in the green building. ”

Xiao Lingpu: "......"

At first glance, this is a terrible sound, but when you think about it, it is true.

"Secondly, to be an emperor, you have to get up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog every day. Worry about floods in the east and drought in the west; The common people should be worried if they can't eat, and the big families should be worried. ”

"After that, we have to prevent the ministers from forming parties for personal gain, colluding with internal and external parties; Not to mention the minister, even his wife and son have to be on guard at all times. Do you think about whether the crown prince and the third emperor brother want to take their father's life all the time? ”

"I don't dare to eat it, and I don't dare to eat more if I love food, for fear of being poisoned by someone who knows my preferences; I can't sleep well, and I have to change places late and night to prevent others from assassinating me. And the palace, the whole cage. In order not to be assassinated, he was trapped there all his life, and he couldn't get out of the palace. ”

"You say, what's the point of such a life?"

Looking at Xiao Lingpu with a stunned look, Xiao Lingyan continued: "It's different to be an idle king, you can eat and dress well, you can go wherever you want, and you can sleep as long as you want." If I like it, I can take a concubine; I don't like it, so I keep my wife and live a quiet life. What kind of life I live is up to me. Such a life is a truly blessed life. ”

"Is this something like this?" Xiao Lingpu was simply refreshed with three views.

When he was born, he was placed high hopes on the entire Cen family and Concubine Cen Guifei. The education he received from an early age was to become the best prince, and then to take the throne and become the emperor. He lived for more than twenty years and has been fighting for the throne ever since.

So when he became crippled at first, he was confused and painful, and he was unwilling, and he couldn't adapt to this peaceful and ordinary life.

Now that Xiao Lingyan said this, the belief that the Cen family and Cen Guifei had forged for him began to falter.

"Isn't it? Actually, brother, let me tell you, the Cen family pushed you forward, desperately trying to make you the emperor, not for you, but for them. You became the emperor, you are the one who works hard, but they are the ones who enjoy. Think about it, think about it, isn't this the reason? ”

Seeing Xiao Lingpu leave the Qi Palace, Xiao Lingyan smiled slightly and went back to the backyard.

"Poof, if you fool your second brother like this, won't your conscience hurt?" Zhao Ruxi laughed at him.

Xiao Lingyan shook his head and sighed with emotion: "I sometimes really think that several imperial brothers are pitiful. fought for it all their lives, and even paid for it, but in the end, it was just because of the selfishness of their mother's family. ”

Zhao Ruxi squinted at him: "Aren't you doing what you said stupidly now?" ”

"So Xiaoxi, I regret it. It's true. I really don't want to do that. Boring. ”

Xiao Lingyan thought that if Xiao Qi suddenly collapsed, and his son had not yet grown up, wouldn't he be struggling in pain every day?

Life is short, he finally traveled to ancient times to pick up a life, if he doesn't enjoy life, do he have to work all his life?

"Do you really think so?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"Really." Xiao Lingyan looked at Zhao Ruxi pitifully, "You know me, we are all the same kind of people." ”

"If you really don't covet authority, then you might as well have a constitutional monarchy." Zhao Ruxi said.

Seeing Xiao Lingyan's round eyes, Zhao Ruxi also glared at him back: "What?" Reluctant? ”

"How can you be reluctant? I mean, wife, you're so smart. Xiao Lingyan said, "I didn't even expect this stubble." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "But the resistance is quite big, right?" It's not that I want to give up this throne, it will succeed. ”

"It's nothing more than profit. Let's start with the Industrial Revolution. When a group of capital rises and competes with the family, it is completely possible to get this thing done. Zhao Ruxi said.

Neither she nor Xiao Lingyan are engaged in politics, and they really didn't expect this stubble at first. Later, she suddenly remembered, and then read a lot of information in this area through the system, and found that the Great Jin wanted to change to a constitutional monarchy, and there was no problem at all.

If there are no conditions, then create conditions, anyway, Xiao Qi is still healthy, and she and Xiao Lingyan can have more than ten years to pave the way.

"What information you can see, check more, what needs to be done, just tell me. Let me tell you my wife, whether we can sit and drink tea and enjoy life in the future, or whether we will be as tired as the old scalper, then it depends on you. ”

"Then let's talk to the emperor after a while and start working on steam power." Zhao Ruxi said.

Didn't the constitutional monarchy start with the Industrial Revolution?
