Chapter 619 The eldest son of the emperor

Children's Town is the foundation for a stable society in the future.

To put it more utilitarian, when these children grow up, they will be grateful to the court.

When they are distributed in various regions, they will become loyal supporters of the court.

What they enjoy here is better treatment than at home.

Here they can learn knowledge and change their destiny.

Under the current social background, if people who leave the Children's City become opponents of the imperial court one day, they will not be tolerated by heaven.

To be more realistic, the existence of the Children's City, even if these people have not yet left, can still stabilize Han society.

When a frontline soldier is killed in action, there is no need to worry that his children will live on the streets, or that their children will take detours.

This is where the imperial court takes care of them.

The Han Dynasty's annual leave is ten days, but for officials, it is actually only nine days.

On the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, a large court meeting is held, which lasts for a whole day.

After returning from Children's City, Wang Buxu stayed in the palace for the remaining few days and had a good reunion with his family for a few days.

It wasn't until this time that Wang Buxu realized that he was no longer young.

It has been eleven years since I started my business. When I think about the scenes in the small ravine outside Xingyang, it seems as clear as before my eyes.

When I looked back around me, I realized that even the child was seven or eight years old.

The eldest son, Wang Bang, is quiet and elegant. Although he is young, he is also polite and well-learned.

He is seven or eight years old, although outside he is just old enough to go to county school.

However, due to the special environment in the palace and his special status, the actual cultural level of the kingdom has reached the age of county school graduation.

But for seven or eight-year-old children to go to county school is a bit too exaggerated.

But if the prince is only allowed to stay in the palace, he will learn nothing more than castles in the air.

There may not be any problems in the short term, but over time, various problems will inevitably arise.

Wang Buxu was not a power-hungry person. He didn't even intend to be the emperor from the beginning, but he only came to the throne after being beaten by his subordinates.

Therefore, Wang Buxian was not greedy for the position of emperor. He even thought that he could take over the position earlier and live a comfortable life.

People who have never experienced this kind of power will never know what it feels like.

It would be a lie to say that I am unhappy, but when I am sad, my hair will fall out one by one.

It is easy to be an emperor, but it is difficult to be a good emperor.

What is a good emperor?

You must not only consider things when you are in power, but also consider things when you are not in power, and the most important thing is the choice of crown prince.

As long as an excellent prince can be chosen, if nothing else, at least the emperor's historical evaluation will not be too bad.

For example, let’s talk about the two emperors Wen and Jing in history. Who was Emperor Jing of Han?

The little bully on the streets of Chang'an, the kind of person who would dare to overturn the table with anyone he met. Even the prince of King Wu would dare to knock you down with a chessboard.

Even if there is a dispute while playing chess, even if the prince of King Wu shows some disrespect to you, this is not a reason for you to kill him on the spot.

This incident alone would be enough to decapitate an ordinary person.

But Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was fine. After he came to power, he continued his father's policies, despite experiencing the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

But the world only knows about the rule of Wen and Jing, and that the two emperors were diligent and frugal, which laid a solid economic foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight back against the Huns.

However, few people know that while Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was shouting about economy, he could give a rich mine to his favorite in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, everything has two sides.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, I rarely have free time. In addition, the country has gradually stabilized and everything is on track.

All that's left is to follow the steps step by step and lay a solid foundation. There is no need for the emperor to worry about everything as before.

In this way, Wang Buxu will have more time to think about training successors.

In fact, Wang Buxu had considered this issue as early as in later generations.

The lifespan of a Chinese dynasty can range from a few decades to four to five hundred years, and it is inevitable that every dynasty will enter a period of decline after going through a period of time in the past.

This period of decline may be fast or slow, but most of the time it is like a person suffering from a chronic disease. They don't know it. When they discover it, when they want to treat it, they find it is too late and there is nothing they can do.

The root cause is that the monarch does not understand the country well enough, blindly listens to the words of some people, and loses his most basic judgment.

Who was the greatest emperor of the Han Dynasty in history?

Wang Buxu believed that he should be Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. The rule of Xiaoxuan was far from being comparable to any so-called prosperous period in the history of the Han Dynasty.

The root cause is Liu Xun's experience when he was young. It was precisely because of this experience that Liu Xun's future political style was formed.

Again, how can an emperor manage a country well if he doesn't know how many people he has, what kind of life his people are living, and his true strength?

"Bang'er, where do you want to go most?" After determining the basic training strategy, Wang Buxu looked at his sensible and intelligent eldest son and asked.

"Father, the place I most want to go to is Xingyang, where my father's rebellion against the Qin Dynasty began." Wang Bang responded seriously, as if he had thought about this problem for a long time.

"Who told you that Qin is a violent Qin?" Wang Buxu was a little curious. He had never mentioned the word "Bao Qin", but his eldest son said it was "Bao Qin".

"Father, in the late Qin Dynasty, tyranny was rampant, political orders were changed frequently, and the people were in dire straits. Isn't this tyranny of the Qin Dynasty?" Wang Bang responded like a little adult.

Wang Buxian was speechless. Although Wang Bang was right, there were some things that couldn't be viewed this way.

"The only real tyranny in the late Qin Dynasty was the three years of the Second World War. Although the First Emperor was called a tyrant, some of the decrees he implemented cannot actually be called tyranny. The Great Wall defense line played a significant role in the previous wars.

Without the existence of the Great Wall, the Han Dynasty would have to pay more to win this war."

"Although many of the First Emperor's decrees may seem cruel, they are actually intended to eliminate the idea of ​​​​the motherland and truly complete the unification. I am also doing this now, but it is just different from the methods and strategies adopted by the First Emperor."

"Using the three years of the Second World War to evaluate the entire Qin Dynasty is too arbitrary. To be a king, you must not only look at the present, but also look at the future. The First Emperor also paved the way for the Han Dynasty. Although he made mistakes, he also

Enough to be called an emperor through the ages!"
