    Kings seize the heir¡¿Chapter 29 Floating to the surface

    In the palace of Prince Jin, Zhu Cijiong and Gao Di and Gao Yuan sat across from each other. Zhu Cijiong sighed, "Ciye is so smart that he was fooled by his cleverness. When he was a child, he liked to be first in everything, and even more so when he got older. It's okay to peek at the position of the prince."  He is considerate, but he has designed it for himself to get to where he is today!"

    Gao Yuanzhao disagreed, "How to say it! The first rafter will die first. This old saying is true, the first bird will be shot! Ci Jiong, you should be careful. Now it seems that Ci Ji is not as imagined, he can strike first.  If we deal with Ci Ye, we might get rid of you too, so we all need to be careful."

    Gao Di nodded in agreement, "Cixuan and Cixuan are getting more and more powerful. It seems that the position of the prince is untouchable. The most important thing is to maintain the current situation!"

    "Is the position of the crown prince that important? You guys! All you think about is the present, which seems short-sighted!" Following the words, a energetic old man came in from the outside.

    "Dad! When did you come back?" Gao Di is his father-in-law Fu Shan. Fu Shan was invited by Li? for a long time and he didn't expect to come back at this time.

    ??Fu Shan sat down and looked at his son-in-law, grandson and others, "I just came back, but I have already heard that King Wu was deprived of his title. This is not a bad thing for King Wu. It's time for him to clear his mind."

    Gao Di poured a cup of tea for Fu Shan, "Dad, what do you mean by what you just said? The position of the prince is not important, so what is important?"

    Fu Shan smiled and said, "Do you think after the Emperor, there is anyone else like the Emperor? You all stared at the position of the prince, but did not try to figure out the emperor's thoughts. You are all blindfolded!"

    Zhu Cijiong and others were stunned by Fu Shan's words. Zhu Cijiong's face turned red because Fu Shan was right. They were indeed peeping at the crown prince's position.

    "The emperor summoned Wang Fuzhi to the palace today. I have met this Wang Fuzhi once. He is a very thoughtful person, and he talks about political reforms all day long. It seems that his approach to restricting the monarch's power has finally attracted the attention of the emperor.  That's it." Fu Shan said and took a sip of tea.

    I looked at Wang Fuzhi, who was sitting opposite, and said, "Sir, don't be nervous. I have read all of your remarks. I came here today just to hear what you have to say." I have read Wang Fuzhi's rudimentary thoughts on constitutional monarchy.  It is after reading this thing that I am full of worries about the future direction of history.

    I once discussed the future national political model with Bai Jing. If we say it is advanced, then the parliamentary prime minister system under the constitutional monarchy is more advanced. But as Bai Jing said, China's situation is very complicated, and this system is not suitable for China.  It's not appropriate. Historically, Britain was a much bigger place.  Naturally, it will have immediate results and make it easier to rule. China is too large and a more effective management system should be established. Of course, the semi-capitalist and semi-feudal structure of military totalitarians proposed by Bai Jing in the early years is somewhat inconsistent with the current situation.  .  So I eagerly want to lay an institutional foundation for future development. After all, I will die, and history will not stand still because of my death.

    Wang Fuzhi is a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is quite talented and intellectually active. His worldview is very advanced nowadays. He believes that the world is made of matter and that everything, including nature and society, is constantly changing.  , so everything must follow the trend.  Overcome disadvantages and create new ones.  Only in this way can we develop better.

    "Your Majesty, I will speak out boldly. Your Majesty is a wise king who has never been seen in history. The Ming Dynasty is in today's situation because of the Emperor alone. The ancients often said that a saint is born every five hundred years, and the Emperor can be regarded as a saint.  Yes." No matter how Wang Fuzhi has an idea, it is necessary to flatter him first.

    I smiled and looked at Wang Fuzhi, "Sir, when did you become like this? Heaven did not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity lasted like night. That's just pedantic talk. It seems that you still haven't mastered it!"

    Wang Fuzhi's face turned red when he was told, "What the emperor said is that he has fallen behind, so I will say it bluntly. The emperor is an unprecedented wise king, and his successor must not be much worse, but what about the future? Qin Shihuang  He wanted to open up a world for thousands of generations, but in the end, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed in his second generation. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified the world, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was defeated. If the rise and fall of the country were pinned on one person, it would be very dangerous. The emperor has the most power today.  But the emperor knows how to exercise restraint. What about those who come after him? If someone like Hu Hai and Yang Guang is bad, it will be a misfortune for all generations! So I think the imperial power should be restricted. At least there must be forces that restrict the imperial power. Otherwise, it will be a hidden danger to the country."

    It is indeed rare for a person who lived in the Ming Dynasty to have such an idea. I nodded as I listened. This period should be the Renaissance in Europe, but the Renaissance seemed to have been destroyed by me. I didn¡¯t expect that there was also the Ming Dynasty.  With the emergence of such a trend of thought, it seems that Wang Euzhi is right. If there are restrictions on monarchy, or history?If Chongzhen does not appear, but an emperor with some achievements appears, then even if Ming Dynasty does not have me, it is still possible to lead the Chinese nation to rejuvenation!

    I chatted with Wang Euzhi all morning, and both the emperor and his ministers were very happy. After letting Wang Euzhi go, I pondered for a long time, "Tian Rong, we will have dinner at the concubine's place at noon Please call Concubine Chen there too!"

    The fourth child was demoted and ordered to live in the Chinese Academy of Sciences to think about her past. It was a blow to Concubine Chen. I can understand Concubine Chen's mood. She spent a lot more "thoughts" on Ciye than I did. I have nothing to do today, so I thought  Have a meal with her to comfort her.

    Bai Jing looked at Zhuang Mengdie and Emperor Hongguang, and she could somewhat understand the intention of Emperor Hongguang's move. However, she also saw that Emperor Hongguang had something on his mind and seemed to have come to discuss it with her, so she also treated Zhuang Mengdie at the dinner table.  Sincerely comforting.

    Zhuang Mengdie thought about it for several nights and got a sentence, that is, the agency was too clever and cost Qingqing's life. She originally thought that she would be thrown into the cold palace because of Ciye's incident, but she didn't expect that during today's conversation, Hong Guang  Di didn't mean that at all, but instead comforted her in every possible way, which made Zhuang Mengdie feel very uncomfortable, but also very happy.

    After dinner, Bai Jing saw that Emperor Hongguang had not left, so she secretly said that she had expected it, "Your Majesty, let's go to the inner chamber!" She said and led the way.

    Although Bai Jing has become old, women of every age have their own unique charm, and Bai Jing is no exception. I watched Bai Jing sit on the edge of the bed, pursed her lips and smiled, "My beloved, sometimes I always  I feel like this is a dream, and I think about it every day, what if I wake up and the world has changed!"

    Bai Jing leaned her head on Emperor Hongguang's shoulder, "If you can really return to our world, that would be great! I will definitely commit myself to you when the time comes."

    "Then I won't do it. You are older than me everywhere!" As soon as I chatted with Bai Jing about our world, I always had endless things to say. If I hadn't died back then, I would have really saved Bai Jing.  , I guess she definitely doesn¡¯t have this intention. Bai Jing in later generations has a much prettier face than she does now. How could she fall in love with me, a young boy?

    Bai Jing enjoyed the feeling of cuddling with Emperor Hongguang very much, "Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?" Whenever we talked about this, Bai Jing knew that Emperor Hongguang had something on his mind. This was almost a kind of inertia.

    I sighed, "Well! It's a topic we talked about a long time ago, but the world is always changing, and plans always have to keep up with the changes!" I said all my feelings.

    Bai Jing frowned, "What Wang Euzhi said is not unreasonable. If the leader of a country is the hope of the entire nation, it may not be a good thing. How can the future of the country be pinned on one or two people! That is very dangerous,  Sometimes I wonder if society is a strange circle. People living in the circle cannot see the truth outside the circle at all, let¡¯s say in future generations! There are also quite a few people who still hope to have an emperor. In fact, that is no longer the case.  The problem of the emperor is not the spiritual sustenance of a nation, so although overthrowing the emperor is a kind of progress, relatively speaking, it also loses something very precious, which is the accumulation of more than two thousand years!"

    "Yes! The feudal system has existed for more than two thousand years, and certain memories have been imprinted in most people's bones. Restoration? It seems that I have finished it. I am wondering if it should be overthrown!" I sometimes feel very sad.  Confused, all this is like a dream, sometimes I really hope to wake up soon.

    Bai Jing smiled, "The emperor is worried about the future, but how far can the emperor control? Ten years? A hundred years? Or a thousand years? The driving force of society cannot be accomplished by one person, and the development of the times does not depend on the will of the individual.  , even the emperor can't do it, otherwise there would be no change of dynasties, and there would be no unchanging society. Isn't it funny to hold it in my hand while wearing it like this?"

    I was amused by Bai Jing¡¯s comments. Yes, it was really funny. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say? I want to hear your opinion about the future.¡±

    "It is inevitable to limit monarchy. As for how to limit it, it cannot be established in one or two generations. I have also considered this issue. It is questionable how much the ancient Roman republic can learn from. But to establish a complete political system  The system is not a matter of a day or two, so you should consider the people from the next generation!" Bai Jing said, looking at Emperor Hongguang from the corner of her eye.

    I thought, "So you are still thinking about Ci Xuan. There is no better son than his father. Ci Xuan has indeed made great achievements in the past few years, but like the fourth child, he is not a good successor. He has too many things in his heart."  There are too many grudges. Although Ci Xuan's children are very outstanding among the grandchildren, I can't think so far because I'm afraid Ci Xuan won't be able to make it that day."

    Tian Rong listened to the overheard words passed back by Bai Jing's personal maid, and sweat broke out on his forehead. It seemed that it was time for him to take action. CiJiong has lost his fighting spirit, or is he conserving strength? Ci?, can he do it?  Can the red lady persuade him?
