Chapter 194, the Three Generations Theory of Change
Faced with his father's question, Pan Long pondered for a moment and replied: "No matter how good the situation of changing the law is, it must last for a long time. ”
"Di Luonan is not only the prince, but also has the credit of sacrificing his life to save the driver, why won't it last long?"
Pan Long smiled: "If Emperor Renchen has been the emperor, maybe the change can really last for a long time." But dad, how long do you think he can be emperor?"
Pan Lei frowned, thought for a while, and said: "The Emperor family is eaten by the luck of the Son of Heaven, except for a very small number of peerless geniuses, most people are difficult to cultivate, and the longevity extension effect of cultivation is also very poor. Emperor Renchen is the eldest son of the first emperor, he was thirty-six years old when he ascended the throne, and now he reigns for twenty-three years, and he will be sixty years old after the year...... Normally, it's almost time for him to consider abdicating. ”
Pan Long nodded: "I don't know if it's a backlash to the throne, but all blood relatives within three generations of the Son of Heaven, people with the surname 'Emperor Zhao', both men and women have a short lifespan." If you don't become congenital, you often don't live to be 40 years old, and if you are congenital, you will live to about 70 years old at most, and you are the 'Sword Emperor' Emperor Yihai, but you will also live to be more than 120 years old. ”
"Di Renchen is fifty-nine years old this year, although theoretically, he still has ten years to live. But as far as I know, he has obviously been running out of energy in recent years, and it seems that he ...... I'm afraid that in another three or five years, I will die. ”
"At that time, Emperor Jiazi reigned for twenty-nine years and passed on the crown prince, and he lived in seclusion as the emperor for a year and then died. Although there is a reason why he was seriously injured by the assassination of my teacher Bi Lingkong in Fengzentai, even he chose to pass on the throne in advance, and the successive generations of emperors could not help but follow this tradition...... If nothing else, Di Renchen's abdication is a matter of the past two years. ”
Seeing that both his grandfather and father nodded their heads again and again, Pan Long smiled and continued: "Changing the law is a big deal, how long do you think it will take to succeed?"
"It will take at least ten years!" Pan Shou said with certainty, "the important thing is not the question of interests, but the reversal of the atmosphere of the entire imperial court." If we can't reverse the trend, even if we have some immediate benefits, they will quickly go down the drain. So 10 years is the minimum!"
Pan Lei also nodded, agreeing with his father's statement: "Ten years can barely be regarded as a generation, and it is actually very reluctant to use a generation to improve the atmosphere of court officials." Shorter words...... That's just a passing moment. ”
Pan Long smiled: "Since that's the case, then what else is there to doubt?"
He sighed lightly and explained, "It will take ten years to change the law, but Di Renchen will abdicate in one or two years at most. When Emperor Renchen abdicates, who will inherit the throne? It must be the crown prince Emperor Hedong who will become the emperor. ”
"At that time, Di Luonan will change from 'prince' to 'royal brother'. Although when Di Renchen was alive? Emperor Guimao will give the emperor some face, but can he give face again? There was no way he would allow Di Luonan to push for a change like he was now. Especially after Di Renchen died? Their brotherly relationship will be even more sinister, and when the time comes, ......"
Pan Long shook his head? Didn't go any further.
But Pan Shou and Pan Lei naturally didn't understand what he meant.
The millennium since the founding of Great Xia, the role with the highest mortality rate among the royal family? is the "royal brother".
For the emperor? Isn't the son cute enough? At least it's his own flesh and blood, and there is always a family affection. But the younger brother is different, no matter how much he has feelings, that guy may also threaten his throne? It's an eye-catching thing to look at.
If this younger brother is mediocre? is a mediocre character - for example, the contemporary "King of Anle" Di Yingqi, then his brother Di Yingzheng - that is, the current Emperor Renchen, is naturally willing to let him go, and everyone remains at least superficially brothers, friends and brothers? Thus lived a life in peace.
But Di Luonan, the imperial brother, is really powerful!
Is there such a brother or? Can the emperor rest assured?
Obviously impossible!
Not to mention that King An Le could not theoretically preside over any court affairs - he would generally be responsible for managing the royal estate, and there was naturally no shortage of money, but his political rights were basically equal to zero.
When Di Luonan becomes the king of Anle, is it possible for him to preside over the law change?
Obviously impossible!
So with Tilonan's tough character, is it possible for him to accept such an outcome?
Obviously impossible!
So the ending of Di Luonan is actually doomed.
The ending of Di Luonan is doomed, so the ending of the change of law is of course already doomed.
"Perhaps...... After Di Luonan's death, Emperor Gui Mao may change the law again. Pan Lei said thoughtfully, "It's just that when the time comes, who will he let preside over the law change? It's probably Zhang Hao...... right?"
"Xiao Zhang's martial arts are mediocre, even with the help of elixir, at most he barely stepped into the innate realm. Pan Shou shook his head, "Just a congenital, how can you control the scene?"
In this Kyushu world, force is not omnipotent, but without force it is absolutely impossible.
If you just become a paste-maturing craftsman who fills in the omissions, the cultivation of the innate realm is already very sufficient; if you want to be a generation of famous ministers, this level can be improvised; but if you want to preside over the reform of the law, reform the evils of the country, and find a way out, then the innate realm is not enough.
At the very least, it must also be in the realm of real people.
It's not that we have to rely on force to deter all sides, as Di Luonan did, but ...... If you don't have a real human realm, it's too easy to die.
Although political struggles generally exclude the direct elimination of opponents, the biggest rule of political struggle is "winner-takes-all". In order to win, all other rules can be ignored.
A master of transformation who purely relies on the innate realm of the elixir pile is too fragile, and if he comes to a dead man, he will be finished.
Therefore, Zhang Hao and Zhang Guozhong will definitely not be the host of the law change, if the emperor wants to change the law in the future, he must find another host.
Or...... Can he learn from his father and let his son preside over the law change?
Pan Long recalled the two sons of Emperor Hedong (that is, the future Emperor Guimao), Emperor Early Spring and Emperor Banxia, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
The government and the opposition know very little about the situation of the two grandsons. Everyone only knows that Emperor Zaochun is seventeen years old, and Emperor Banxia is fourteen years old, that's all.
Pan Long once saw the emperor in Suitao Mountain, when he, as a messenger of the imperial court, accompanied the "drunken immortal" Chen Yanlai to canonize the ancestor of the Ren family, the "Suishan Sword Saint", Ren Changsheng as "Mr. Qingxu Miaofa", and canonized the director of the Ren family as the Duke of Suishan.
Pan Long had observed him at that time, and felt that he was a very ordinary young man, and he didn't see anything particularly good.
Yes...... It is somewhat similar to the style of Dihedong.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Emperor Zaochun is an ordinary person, if his younger brother Emperor Banxia is strong in martial arts, then he can reproduce the situation of Emperor Hedong and Emperor Luonan today, when the younger brother presides over the change, and the elder brother succeeds to the throne as the emperor, history repeats itself." ”
Pan Lei shook his head: "If Di Luonan hadn't been seriously injured this time, he might not have been willing to give up the throne. He is not a fool, of course he knows the truth of the so-called death of people. Even for the sake of his own ideal of changing the law, he still has to fight for it. ”
"Isn't he more competitive now?" Pan Shou asked with some confusion.
Although the old man is very old, he is really inferior to his own son in terms of knowledge.
Pan Lei looked at his son.
Pan Long knew that this was his father who wanted to solve his grandfather's doubts, but his thoughts were different from his father's.
In my father's opinion, it is impossible for Di Renchen to change the prince who has been established for many years before abdicating - the heavenly family is selfless, for a long time, the civil and military officials have long been accustomed to being the prince of Di Hedong, and it can even be said that they have made all the preparations for Di Hedong's succession.
Unless Emperor Renchen is willing to poison Emperor Hedong and kill Emperor Hedong, so that the ministers have no choice, everyone will oppose Di Luonan's succession, and he will not be able to force Di Luonan.
After all...... He wasn't a powerful monarch like Emperor Jiazi.
But Pan Long said: "Actually, if Di Luonan wants to fight, it's not impossible to ......."
