The royal family has the magic skill of foreseeing the future.

It's just that in general, most of the time you can only see some fragments.

Only at great cost can we see the whole line clearly and see through the cause and effect before and after. This does not seem to be a simple equivalent exchange, but also a kind of trust that must be borne by the people.

Of course, the future fragments seen by the eldest prince, but anyone who is more intelligent can deduce the reasons before and after.

The Industrial Revolution, the emancipation of the productive forces, and the development and flourishing of culture all symbolize that more people will be freed from ignorance and from the land and daily labor.

They will learn to think and gradually demand more from this society and the country.

When their demands could not be met, a revolution would break out.

Of course, the future as seen by the eldest prince is only a possibility of the future, not an inevitability.

Even if it is the same transition to capitalism.

There is still a constitutional monarchy, and even a system of capital under the administration of the monarchy.

In the vast galaxy, the boundless universe, and the endless world, it is not uncommon for even civilizations that have reached the pinnacle of science and technology and productivity to be under the management of the monarchy.

The sound of the train tracks rubbing against each other kept ringing in my ears.

The coastline in the distance has been completely blurred.

The tide in the dark night also seems to have completely lost the activity and surging during the day.

They haunt there, like monsters feared in dreams, seemingly devouring anyone who comes near them into the icy tide and then ruthlessly taking them away.

"Does Your Majesty know?" Lin Xi asked the eldest prince.

This question directly skipped the implicit solicitation of the eldest prince.

Lin Xi knew very well that with just a book, the other party would not come to solicit it in person.

Books are just excuses.

The real reason is that his current identity is the fifth son of Xiahou Mingde, and it is also the current one... It seems that the son who is the most promising.

The eldest prince wants to get the support of Xiahou Mingde.

So we must first subdue Lin Xi.

And Binhai Province partially overlapped with the fiefdoms of the three princes, and if Xiahou Mingde was subdued, it would be equivalent to balancing the three princes.

The eldest prince faced Lin Xi's rhetorical question and knocked the bell on the table.

Then a large number of servants brought sumptuous dishes and drinks.

The dishes are a combination of Chinese and Western, and the same is true for the drinks.

Then some beautiful dancers began to dance in the spacious carriage.

These dancing girls are also a combination of Chinese and Western, and there are many types of dances.

There are even some dances, in Lin Xi's eyes, the painting style seems a little weird.

It should be an abnormal state presented by the imperfect and incomplete combination of Chinese and Western.

This is clearly intentional.

He was hinting to Lin Xi that he did not resist opening up and development, let alone accepting some good things from the West.

The Xiahou family only rose after the opening of the Age of Discovery.

Therefore, if in the future, the new emperor resists opening up and resisting the exploration and expansion of the sea, then the interests of the Xiahou family will be greatly damaged. In other words, an emperor who does not refuse to accept foreign culture should be expected by the Xiahou family.

"My father knew very well, but he thought that there were other possibilities. He intended to form a cabinet and then expand it to more than a thousand people, involving top people from various industries. The eldest prince said sarcastically, he didn't even control his expression at all, and he didn't hide his resistance to this decision.

Any kind of authority that has more than three people making decisions can already become bloated.

And if the cabinet, which seems to be diluting the emperor's power, appears, but has more than a thousand people, then it will be an incomparably bloated and incompetent so-called power body.

Ultimately, their existence is like a fig leaf.

All the power will still return to the emperor with superb means.

The so-called right, most of the time, is the qualification for arbitration.

For example, there is a piece of cake that three people want to eat.

The one who divides the cake with a knife, he has the right.

And the remaining two are ruled and managed by him.

"Your Majesty's decision is correct. Lin Xi said.

The eldest prince sneered: "But it's not decisive enough, my father is still old after all, does he have the sharpness of his youth." Even if there are 1,000 people in the cabinet, 10,000 people... As long as it has the name of cutting the imperial power, there will always be someone who can take advantage of the situation to rise up, dominate the cabinet, and then virtualize the imperial power. ”

"But your book inspires me. ”

"The aristocracy despised the commoners, and the commoners despised the Yiren, while the mixed-race Yiren were at the bottom, they did not belong to any party, they did not belong. It's a structure of social spontaneous choice, and we can take advantage of it. Make people's hierarchy more concrete. ”

"Society is developing, the times are progressing, but the hierarchy that accompanies life will not change, because the interests it represents will involve all aspects of the entire country. Everyone has a vested interest and is equivalent to a victim. And the royal family... The aristocracy, standing at the top of this hierarchy, cannot be replaced and cannot be replaced. ”

"It only takes thirty years... I only need thirty years to build a flawless country, one that will never be subverted. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Xi eagerly, and then said very profoundly: "Xiahou Zun, are you willing to help me? Help me build such a perfect world together." ”

Lin Xi looked at the eldest prince.

I was not in the slightest moved by his ambition.

No matter how high-spirited he said, he couldn't hide the smell of blood and dirtiness in his words.

It's dirty... Even when he heard about it, he couldn't stand it.

Heavenly demons just eat people's souls.

But what the eldest prince wants is to enslave people's souls for generations.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I may have to live up to your kindness. Lin Xi directly refused, leaving no room for maneuver.

The eldest prince's expression was cold.

A few cold chamberlains were already standing at the door.

Judging from their position, it only took one step for this sword to pierce Lin Xi's chest.

"This place is approaching Yujiao, and I heard that there are many Western barbarians here, doing evil and chaos. Brother Xiahou should be careful... The eyes of the eldest prince, hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, looked a little strange.

Lin Xi laughed loudly instead: "Your Highness... From beginning to end, you've been talking about your ambitions and ambitions, but what does all this have to do with me?"

"And... This is Binhai Province, and I am Xiahou Zun. My father is Xiahou Mingde... ”

"Even Your Majesty, you need to take care of my father's face. ”

"Before I came, I left a handwritten letter for my eldest brother, Your Highness might as well guess... What did I write?"

"Of course, Your Highness can not believe me. Think I'm just lying to you... Maybe that's the case, but Your Highness... Are you willing to gamble?"

"After all, I'm just a concubine with a slight use value. ”
