Chapter 14: Princess Anqing's Worries
Princess Anqing said, "Husband, for so many years, you have been doing things outside. I basically didn't ask much. But now, there's one thing I can't help but ask? What are you going to do in the future?"
"What to do?" He Xi's voice came from the darkness.
Princess Anqing said, "Husband, will you rebel?"
He Xi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay for others to ask like this. You ask the same question. You should know what I mean."
Princess Anqing said, "I know. But I'm still going to ask."
He Xi said: "You have seen the history of the future, you should know that after the industrial revolution, the economic base changed, so that the emperor will inevitably withdraw from the stage of history, whether it is a republic or a constitutional monarchy in the future, the major affairs of the world cannot be decided by one person. Whoever wants to do this may be able to do it for a while, but the harm to the country is very great. I'm not going to do anything like that."
"But I think." Princess Anqing said, "Anyway, this emperor can be in office for at least a hundred years."
He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you talking for?"
Princess Anqing suddenly sighed and said, "I am the daughter of the Zhu family, but I am also the daughter-in-law of the He family. My son is Siyuan, not Zhu Xiongying."
He Xi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard it.
Princess Anqing is very contradictory.
As the daughter of the Zhu family, she naturally wants to maintain the Zhu family's country.
But she is also He Xi's wife, and she has been in a good relationship with He Xi for many years. He Xi also did not take a concubine. Of course, He Xi occasionally hunted some wild food, and Princess Anqing didn't care.
In the end, the thinking of ancient people is different from the thinking of modern people.
He Xi was focused on the affairs of the imperial court, and his physical desires were not worth mentioning at all. He Xi didn't want to let the backyard catch fire because of the matter of the heir. It's a lot of trouble.
Yes, it's just the heirs who can make the backyard on fire, not anything else.
Playing with a woman, for Princess Anqing. It's like a boyfriend who has a kitten or a puppy, he doesn't care at all, maybe he still raises it together. Only has an heir, which involves the inheritance and distribution of He Xi's political resources.
That's the possibility of a backyard fire.
But it's only possible.
After all, Princess Anqing is still very generous. But He Xi didn't want to test this generosity, after all, He Xi came from the next generation, and he still respected his wife very much.
And He Xi didn't have much idea about the heir. Two sons are enough.
For Princess Anqing, this is the legendary husband.
Princess Anqing and He Xi have hardly blushed for so many years. Even when He Xi and Princess Anqing separated, Princess Anqing specially found a few beauties for He Xi.
Princess Anqing naturally has to think about her family and her son.
No matter how good the Zhu family is, it is the Zhu family. The emperor could not pass it on to his son.
Princess Anqing was worried about He Xi's usurpation of the throne at first, but she was worried that after the He family broke with the Zhu family in the future, he would not be a person inside and outside. But now He Xi has clearly said that he will not do it. She felt that there seemed to be some regret.
It seems like a great opportunity has been lost.
Princess Anqing heard He Xi chuckle, a little annoyed and angry, and couldn't help kicking He Xi from the quilt, and said, "Make you laugh, make you laugh."
He Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't laugh, don't laugh."
For a while, this middle-aged couple seemed to have returned to the days when they just got married.
Princess Anqing sighed and said, "When you say this, I'm relieved. It's just that you don't have that idea. But you have to think about it. Others look at your scenery, but I think your position is simply difficult to ride a tiger. Zhu Xiongying, this child, I naturally know. He's a good boy and he's got his heart right. It's just that he is the emperor after all. A good emperor will be a good man?"
He Xi understood what Princess Anqing meant.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a good one
Emperor. But Zhu Yuanzhang is a good person to his relatives. But for others, not necessarily. Zhu Yuanzhang's handling of many policies can be said to be extremely simple and rude.
Everywhere they went, countless people were wronged.
Of course, He Xi also knows that what Zhu Yuanzhang did cannot be said to be wrong, but he must pay a price for doing things. Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who doesn't care about the price.
He Xi is in his own position, and he clearly understands this matter.
From the perspective of later generations, Jiangnan Shi Dafu is a stubborn feudal remnant, but it is difficult to say when it comes to the scene at this time. In the traditional morality of the Ming Dynasty, these people cannot be said to be without faults, but at least there is no point where they will be punished.
He Xi set off a great tide, making countless rich and noble people poor and lowly, and making countless poor and lowly people rich. Among them, there are many joys and sorrows. Human tragedy.
This can't be said to have nothing to do with He Xi himself.
This era was set off by He Xi and Zhu Xiongying.
And Zhu Xiongying, as a good person, He Xi should treat He Xi well when he cedes power. But politically, this is not the case. If He Xi's influence is not cleared.
There are many things that Zhu Xiongying is also very difficult to do.
This has nothing to do with whether Zhu Xiongying is a good person or not.
In a word, if He Xi is dead. Zhu Xiongying can inherit all of He Xi's political legacy. But He Xi retreated, as long as he lived, there would be a considerable number of people who looked forward to He Xi.
It doesn't matter if He Xi doesn't interfere in the government, anyway, they are just holding up He Xi's sign. He Xi doesn't participate, it's better, you can use this brand as you want.
This is the biggest crisis He Xi is facing.
He Xi said, "Don't worry, your husband and I have a way."
In fact, He Xi doesn't have much clue about this matter now. After all, He Xi's previous thoughts were all on the affairs of the imperial court. Through the Civil War, the law was changed. Now the change has basically been completed.
Dingguo is a meeting, which is not only a summary and conclusion of the Civil War, but also the end of this change.
Yes.
Naturally, the revolution did not come to an end.
Under the rolling tide of the times, countless changes are needed. Even to the point of future generations, is there no need to further promote social development?
It's just that when to do something, He Xi is actually very clear.
First of all, He Xi understands very well.
The momentum of the Ming Revolution was insufficient.
Whatever lack of revolutionary momentum is the idea of a certain class that desperately wants to change everything. The desire to build a new order in their favor. It can also be said to be revolutionary fervor.
Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty on a piece of ruins.
Zhu Yuanzhang has done a lot of things, but in fact, he has satisfied many people. It is precisely because of this satisfaction that many people at the bottom actually don't want to change. That is, for these people, it is already rare to have a full meal, and now it is almost there.
I don't want to continue tossing.
This is what made Zhu Yuanzhang have to use a desperate strategy. It is better to cause a big war than to continue this change.
By now, He Xi has done a lot of things.
Establish an industrial system, create a new bureaucracy, establish a new financial system, and improve commercial laws and regulations. and the abolition of slavery and so on.
In other words, institutionally, He Xi has cleared many obstacles to the development of capitalism.
What needs to be done now is to spread Beijing's system to all parts of the Ming Dynasty in a few years. After that, in fact, it is necessary to calm down.
After all, after He Xi clears such obstacles, the productive forces will develop rapidly for a period of time under the new production relations. What needs to be done is to make certain revisions and patches to the policies formulated by He Xi while maintaining development.
In principle, there is no problem with the policy of the He Xi system. But in many details, it is normal to have soil and water adaptation.
What can be done, that's all. Nothing else, you can't do anything. I did it than I did.
One gallop, the way of civil and martial arts. Before He Xi, he had already rushed forward. After the reform is implemented throughout the country, it should be more about maintenance.
There is no need for He Xi to be here.
Many people are competent, which is another reason why He Xi wants to retire.
