Chapter 544: Between Reason
"Well, when will they not be able to fight in the nest? I almost didn't let the center hereditary, and they weren't satisfied? "Guo Peng is actually a little injured, he hasn't spoken for so long, in fact, he just doesn't want to say it, it's just that he let it go, but others haven't let it go.
"The Cai family looks like a civil official, but in fact, it is still the mentality of a powerful minister handed down from the elders. Quan Chen has passed several generations, and even Lord Cai sometimes unconsciously has a mentality, God is the boss, my second child. It's not that the emperor is choosing him, but that he's choosing the emperor; As for the Liu family, the Liu family should be regarded as a literati mentality. Of course, they also want to be like the Cai family, stand up and be a man, and don't want to be so bent for generations. Xin Kun smiled and poured Guo Peng a cup of tea.
She suddenly thought of those civil officials in the Song Dynasty. They fight with the sky and the earth, and they are constantly fighting against the imperial power and the generals. Whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, their material civilization and spiritual civilization have reached their peak. In the era when there were dozens of types of soy sauce, you can see how prosperous it was. But in the long history of the two songs, they are called weak songs!
The civil officials wanted to manage everything, and both the civil officials and the imperial power desperately limited the rights of the military attachés, and then, a country became rich and prosperous. However, without strong national defense support, this prosperity can only lead to destruction.
Thinking of this, she really should look at the history books of this time and space, and see if she wants democracy and freedom, or unity and strength under centralized power?
"Compromised?" Where did Guo Peng think that Xin Kun's thoughts had run away 108,000 miles away. He is still thinking about the Liu family's 'commission'!
"Of course, for several generations, they have married the daughters of political enemies, and then they want to protect the family through political enemies, don't you make a compromise? Besides, it's just obvious that Lord Koyanagi doesn't know what's going on, and I believe that. But he didn't know what was going on, but he still kept silent, Ren Qingliu came to slander the emperor, just like Lord Cai said, their thoughts are the same, even if this matter is not his master, but he still wants to use this matter to limit the imperial power. This is a common problem of civil officials, because only when the lord is weak can the minister be strong. Xin Kun is also a master who is familiar with history, although she doesn't know if the Liu family thinks so, but it doesn't prevent her from guessing so.
"Do you think they're right?" Guo Peng hesitated.
"What does the emperor think?" Xin Kun also looked at Guo Peng, this is exactly what she just thought, do you want democracy and freedom or unity and strength under limited centralization?
Mencius's words have basically not been listened to from ancient times to the present, but Mencius's books have been left behind, just because imperial power needs a little whitewashing. Every emperor was telling the people that they loved the people like sons. But the son stands with the people, and he still loves his son. Guo Peng shook his head, "What about me?" I haven't really figured out what kind of emperor I'm going to be. Yes, I don't want you to be burdened with me, so I have to keep this position, but really, I don't like this position, it's boring. ”
"I believe that, too." Xin Kun smiled, Guo Peng has just become the emperor not long ago, he has just broken away from the influence of the patriarchy and the ministers, he has not really become an independent emperor, he naturally does not know the heroism of the mountains at a glance, think about it, "Emperor, let's look back at Liu Che's biography!" ”
"Emperor Wu of Han?" Guo Peng thought about it for a while, he was very familiar with this person's story.
"An unappreciated prince finally stepped onto the throne with the help of a bunch of women. He has done a lot of great things in his life, and he has achieved his great cause with the fruitful results brought by the rule of Wenjing. But, what about in the end? The fall of the Han Dynasty was actually caused by him. So, sometimes I support centralization, otherwise, how can he be able to defy public opinion and insist on breaking the Huns? If the character is weaker, then there will be no hegemony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But I hope there is a limited imperial power. However, this is difficult to grasp. I can only propose an idealized realm, but this realm is almost impossible to achieve. Xin Kun sighed lightly.
"Yes, therefore, you support the courtiers to limit me from time to time, but you also hope that I can strengthen my beliefs and work hard to make a contribution. Kun'er, you are really a bit of a good dragon! Guo Peng also found it a little difficult.
"So I said, it's almost impossible to achieve." Xin Kun nodded and yawned, "Okay, I'll go take a nap, you can get busy!" ”
"I'm napping too." Guo Peng's eyes immediately lit up, and he waved his hand to let people out, and he looked at Xin Kun with bright eyes.
Xin Kun really blushed, of course, she didn't admit that she was shy, but, from this morning, a bunch of things, let her not think about what happened last night. But now, obviously, there is no way to hide.
"Well, do you want to talk?"
"What are you talking about?" Guo Peng circled Xin Kun, and now he felt that this was the most comfortable posture for him and Xin Kun. Of course, if they could lie down now, he thought it would be better.
"Jing Shifang, no one dared to come in the morning and ask me what happened. I didn't dare to respect the room, saying that the emperor was fortunate to be a palace maid? Still don't remember anything, but what if I get pregnant? "Xin Kun has been educated in physiology and hygiene, there is no absolutely safe contraceptive method in the world, not to mention, last night, they did not have any measures at all.
Two children who don't know anything at all play at home, and she thinks that the teacher's physiology and hygiene class must be a fake. Then I regretted it, knowing that I should have been baptized by the ***** of the island country. Let's be honest, though. How many girls like to watch island ***** when they don't have a fixed boyfriend?
So, she really wanted to knock that little kid out more than once last night. However, the gap between the force values of the two sides is a bit big, so she will forget it. Of course, in the end, she didn't have the strength to knock out the vandal who had just gotten the toy and wanted to break it.
Now, she feels that she still has to remind this saboteur that they are really a matchmaker now, and no one will admit that they have a child when they come back.
"Oh, Lord Xiaoyanagi argued with me today, saying that the Ministry of Rites is right, I will go to court tomorrow morning, dig a pit for them again, let them swear by the curse, and kneel down in the temple by the way, forcing me not to keep filial piety to my father?" Guo Peng said busily.
"Of course not. Now the question is not in legal principles, whether you want to keep filial piety for Prince Ren, but in the hearts of the people, above reason, you have lost your biological father. Xin Kun was speechless, the emperor represents the highest moral standard, which is also the expectation of the people, so Qianlong said that the emperor's filial piety can be replaced by days and months, and his original intention is estimated that he cannot miss political affairs because of filial piety, but this has been scolded by later defenders for hundreds of years. She still doesn't want Guo Peng to be scolded so badly by future generations!
