Chapter 1197: Centralization
Gref hehe, "I'm a little fluttering to get your compliment." Say, come to me tonight, what's the matter? You won't just accompany my daughter, right?"
Ari Hill laughed, "Of course her business is a big deal. I don't support this master, who will?"
"Can't you see what I'm trying to do?" said Gref, "and you think I've just made a bad move?"
Ari Hill laughed: "When will a chess player admit that he has played bad chess? At that time, no one admitted to playing chess, and everyone thought that they were playing wonderful chess. ”
Gref clapped his hands, "I've always been admonished. Tell me, what's wrong with me doing this? Okay, I'll correct it right away. ”
Ari Hill pointed at Gavin Muki, "It's your baby daughter who wants to correct you." I'm too lazy to that heart. Your Gavin family's idea is, and it won't hit me on the head if it goes to the sky, so I don't have that much spare time. ”
Gref looked at Gavin Muki, "What do you want to say to me? If I'm not old enough to have a bad memory, I remember you mentioned to me that you wanted to change your eldest brother as the leader." ”
Gavin Muqi said: "It's true that I said, but how can you hand over the responsibility of staying behind to Uncle Xiaotang? Even if Uncle Xiaotang didn't think about the position of the lord of the country before, after experiencing this stay, under the trend of the times, he can't help but not want to."
When the time comes, will you still use means to punish him and make him sober? Isn't this a harm to Uncle Xiaotang?"
Gref said: "I would like to choose one of my sons to stay behind, and the most suitable one is of course your eldest brother, but he is not interested in this, and prefers to be a team leader, so he also convinces you to help talk."
Your second brother and third brother are busy in the army and can't get out, and your fourth brother's mind is completely out of this area, can I catch the ducks on the shelves?
Count and count, I don't have anyone to use. Don't use your little uncle, can you use other uncles? At least, your little uncle is still obedient, right?"
"Then you're too blunt. Don't explain anything, say that if you change people, you will change people, what do you make others think? Even the Xiangwu family sent someone to contact Uncle Xiaotang. More people want to know about this, and you can't think that you are ready to pass on the throne to Uncle Xiaotang? When the time comes, it will definitely be another mess. Maybe it will lead to a mutiny. ”
Gref said: "The Xiangwu family has contact with Tang Ying, I know this. Alas, that guy Xiangwu Taiyi is too small-minded, and when he sees that we are getting closer to the Gu family, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that their family is not safe. Even if there is no Tang Ying, they will find something else to make trouble, sooner or later. ”
Gavin Muqi said: "That's the problem of the Xiangwu family, but didn't you hurt him by involving Uncle Xiaotang?"
"How many years have you known your little cousin?" I grew up watching him! I knew what he wanted to do wherever his tail went. Don't worry, your little cousin won't be spoiled by the Xiangwu family. ”
"You have also been the ruler of the country for so many years, and you have not understood that power can change people?" Ari Hill sighed, "Staying for three months is enough to do a lot of things." Your sons are not fake, but they are not wise enough, they wrestle with real masters, and they are sold and paid back to the people. ”
Gref became vigilant for a moment, "The national teacher also said so, and you also think that my move is inappropriate?"
Ari Hill said: "You should think about whether all the good things have been yours or your sons' since you became the lord of the country? What benefits have the other houses of the royal family received? You are, they are afraid of the power in your hands, and dare not express their dissatisfaction, but it does not mean that there is no dissatisfaction.
Now you leave for three months, three months, enough for those people in the other rooms to reach an alliance of interests, to empty your power, although your own brother is left behind, does he have the prestige to stop it? Not to mention that there is still a Xiangwu family.
The other princes are loyal to the Gavin royal family, not you, the lord of the country. Do you think they're going to have trouble with the entire Gavin royal family for your sake?"
Gref was stunned, "I've been the lord of the country for so many years, I won't have such a bad popularity in the clan, right?"
Ari Hill said: "You give them a lot of benefits, but those benefits are given by you, not earned by themselves! What they really want is power sharing, not being a rich man who does nothing all day long."
If you think about how the previous lords did it, and then think about how you did it, you will know what kind of mood they should have. ”
When Ari Hill said this, it was already obvious that the previous lords of the Han Dynasty did not want to be as centralized as Greif, and the lords of the country almost ruled by the arch, and each house of the royal family had its own allocation, and each had its own share. Although there were contradictions, they were not as sharp as they are now.
When Gref became the ruler of the country, he began to gradually reclaim power and concentrate all his hands. It is normal for the royal family to have some resentment about this.
"Didn't you suggest I take power in the first place? Why did you say that again?" said Gref.
Gref's succession to the throne can be said to be a typical story of a sparrow flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.
Gref had no foundation within the royal family, no one paid attention to what he said, and he did not have the joy of being the lord of the country at all, but was worried all day long.
On one occasion, he dragged Ari Hill to drink and told Ari Hill about his distress. At this time, Ari Hill suggested to him that the best way to build personal prestige was to concentrate power in his own hands.
As long as the power is in hand, just do a few things to establish prestige, and the prestige will be established.
At that time, Gref also asked why those old lords didn't have these problems with him, and whether he was too bad to be the lord of the country.
Ari Hill told him that the ruler of the kingdom was never a single person, but a large family, a community. After several generations of reproduction, the Han royal family is already very large, so the current small circle of the lord is generally limited to the immediate family of the lord, that is, the level of parents and brothers.
Other lords have very strong parents and strong brothers to rely on, of course, there is no need to worry about the problem that no one listens to the lord of the country, and it is difficult to make it.
But Gref is different, he is from a different family, and the whole family has no power, Gref becomes the lord of the country, and lives a real lonely life, no one can rely on him, only himself.
How can we consolidate our position as the ruler of the country by ourselves? Of course, we must rely on power, but can we also rely on relationships?
The principle of strength is also valid here, and strength here is power. Only by holding power in your hands is your own strength.
