As the saying goes, three years old looks big, seven years old looks old.

It's not unreasonable, but how can a baby under the age of one be able to see the clues when he is still babbling?

Zhu Ji treated Wu Xi a little harshly.

Qingji can understand her mood of looking forward to her son Jackie Chan, but she just hopes that Zhu Ji will not go too far.

After the family banquet, Qingji led Queen Ji Ko back to the Jiaofang Palace.

From beginning to end, Ji Ko looked preoccupied, and his spirit was a little trance.

In order to prevent Ji Ko from falling, Qingji deliberately helped her enter the Jiaofang Palace.

On the bed, Qingji looked at Ji Ko, who wanted to speak and stopped, just chuckled lightly and asked, "Queen, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." ”

"My lord, can the concubine ask a question?"

"Say."

"If the king establishes a prince in the future, I don't know if he chooses a virtuous person? Choosing a successor? Or is it a long-term choice? ”

Hearing this, Qingji was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought about it.

The system of succession, i.e., the patriarchal system, was actually different from one dynasty to another.

There were Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and the throne of the Xia Dynasty was succeeded by his son, and occasionally passed on to his brothers.

Most of the Shang emperors passed to younger brothers, and finally the youngest brother passed to the eldest son, or to his own son.

In the 11th century B.C., King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and built Zhou, all in Haojing, and changed "emperor" to "king".

The throne of the Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulates that only the eldest son will be passed on, and it is "passed on to the heirs but not to the concubines, and to pass on the elders not to the virtuous".

This system of the Zhou Dynasty is the patriarchal system, which has a direct relationship with Chinese surnames.

The patriarchal system is a very complex system, and its main spirit is the primogeniture, which is a kind of inheritance law based on paternal blood relations.

The patriarchal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was closely integrated with the feudal system.

The Son of Heaven is passed down from generation to generation according to the eldest inheritance system, and is the great sect of the Son of Heaven, and the other concubines and second sons who cannot inherit the throne are also royal families, divided into princes, and they are small sects subordinate to the large sect.

These princes are also passed down from generation to generation according to the principle of succession of the eldest son, and the eldest son of the non-eldest son is divided into princes and doctors.

For these princes, they are "big sects", and so on.

There are also scholars below the doctor, and the scholars are the lowest level of the aristocratic class, and they are no longer divided.

Under such circumstances, a patriarchal system based on the Son of Heaven was formed in the world.

That is, Zong Zhou Tianxia!

Wu Chengzhou system, the successive kings of Wu before Wu Wang Zhufan, basically adhered to the patriarchal system and established a long line.

It's just that during the period of King Wu Shoumeng, he looked at his youngest son Ji Za, so he tampered with this legal system without authorization, so that Zhu Fan, Yu Sai, Yi Yu, and Ji Za were the last brothers.

However, when it reached Qingji's grandfather, the king of Wu, Yi Wu, Ji Za resigned and did not accept the throne of the king, so Yi Wu passed the throne to his son Wu Wang.

This caused the national capital of Wu to be shaken, and the son of Zhu Fan was not convinced, and he used to assassinate the royal bureaucrats, which finally caused civil strife in Wu.

The early establishment of the national capital is actually of great benefit to the state of Wu.

However, at this time, Qingji disagreed.

"The queen, whether she is a successor, a chief, or a virtuous, depends on the situation."

Qingji chuckled lightly and said: "The widow is still young, the spring and autumn period is prosperous, when the sons grow up, the widow will think about the prince!" ”

Qingji gave such a reply, which obviously could not satisfy Ji Ko.

As the saying goes, a husband is better than a wife.

has been in bed with Qingji for so long, how can Ji Ko not understand Qingji's thoughts on the important matter of establishing a prince?

Indeed, Qingji is only twenty-three years old this year, and he is still young, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

And according to Qingji's character, it doesn't matter whether the prince, that is, the future King Wu, is the son-in-law or the eldest son, the important thing is to be wise and capable!

Qingji can lay a huge territory for the monarch of later generations and dominate the world, but can the monarch of later generations keep the hegemony of Wu and implement Qingji's national policy to make Wu further stronger?

This is a question worth pondering.

So Qingji didn't think about the question of the prince for the time being, because it was too early!

However, Qingji can treat his sons equally, and cultivate them well, and if he has outstanding sons, Qingji will take the most virtuous and capable person among them as his heir.

As for whether it will lead to a brutal coup d'état to seize the throne and cause a disaster?

Qingji didn't care.

Because the person who can fight a bloody way out of it and stand out is the most suitable king.

After all, the big waves sweep the sand, and the one who comes out is the strongest.

After learning Qingji's thoughts, Ji Ko couldn't help but glance at him resentfully, and then stroked his slender jade hand on his big belly, and said secretly: Son, you must fight in the future to impress your father!

In fact, Ji Ko didn't know whether the child in her womb was male or female.

However, she believes that with Qingji's favor for her, she will be able to give birth to a son for Qingji one day.

Thinking of this, Ji Ko couldn't help but complain secretly.

Ji Ko should have given birth to a child for Qingji a long time ago, but Qingji took pity on her, afraid that she would give birth because she was too young and hurt her body, so she kept deceiving Ji Ko to swallow that thing......

……

In the third year of King Wu's reign, that is, in the spring of 311 BC.

After the spring ploughing, Wu Guo began to verify the assets of the countrymen.

According to the edict issued before Qingji, the government should verify all its fixed assets, including slaves, land, fiefs, houses, and shops, and allow individuals to report them, and then the government will verify them, and if there are any discrepancies, they will be severely punished.

At this time, after the Chinese people took the initiative to report, the officials went door-to-door to check.

Yunyang County, the house of the middle doctor Yang Rong.

The Yunyang County Commander took a group of officials and questioned Yang Rong face to face.

"Doctor, please take a look. This is the amount of assets you have reported before, and this is the amount of assets that have been checked below! ”

"There's a big difference between the two. I don't know if Dr. Zhong has anything to say? ”

Yunyang County ordered the two piles of bamboo slips to be placed on the case one by one, and asked Yang Rong to review it himself.

In this regard, Yang Rong just pretended to pick up a bamboo slip and read it, and then said in surprise: "Hu County Order, there is a huge difference in the amount of assets under it?" No, it doesn't make sense. ”

"I wonder what is wrong with this?"

Hu Xian Ling Zhengse said: "There are many mistakes and omissions. First, slaves. The number of slaves reported by the doctor is 172, and the number of slaves verified is 233! ”

"The field property reported by the doctor is about 677 acres, and the verified field property is about 1,260 acres!"

"There were also errors and omissions in the houses and shops reported by the doctor. Although Dr. Zhong holds the title deed in his hand, as far as I know, Dr. Zhong's house and shop are not obtained through legitimate means, right? ”

"Also, according to the people's report, in the boundary of the middle doctor's feudal territory, the stele occupies the land every year, and it has to be inched in!"

"The fief under the name of the middle doctor has been thirty miles for generations, but it can be learned through the measurement that the existing fief of the middle doctor is actually thirty-six miles?"

"Six miles away!"

Hu Xian Ling shouted righteously: "Doctor Zhong invades the country's land like this, so he is not afraid of the king's wrath? ”
