Chapter eight hundred and fortieth poison
Yuan Shu scratched his head slightly. He didn't understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words. Since ancient times, have there been too many tragedies caused by the issue of succession to the throne? This is not his problem alone, but concerns the entire nation and country.
.
In the past few years, several of his wives and concubines have given birth to two more sons and two daughters. The eldest son Yuan Yao has also performed well under Sun Ce. Although the second son Yuan Ying is young, he is extremely smart and is very popular with Yuan Shu.
Regarding the issue of successors, although Yuan Shu was much more rational than the violent Roman emperor who was a soldier, he still had difficulty making a choice.
Different identities, different positions, naturally treat things differently. Because of Yuan Yao's ability and character problems, Yuan Shu once decided to give up his role as successor and train him as a military commander. With Yuan Yao's character and ability, Yuan Shu's actions are indeed understandable.
But Yuan Yao is his eldest son after all.
Although few emperors in history were the legitimate eldest son, establishing a legitimate eldest son was basically a latent rule in ancient times. If the legitimate eldest son disappeared, it would be another matter. However, in the case where the legitimate eldest son still exists, it is reasonable to establish someone else.
There will be considerable risks in the future. The Tang Dynasty has learned from the past, and Yuan Shu does not want his future heirs to cause a bloody storm every time the dynasty changes. This will do too much harm to the country.
However, it is unrealistic to really follow the eldest son inheritance system. A king should establish a virtuous person. It only needs that the eldest son has certain talents and virtues. If it is obvious that the eldest son is not suitable to be the king and there are better choices, how can we choose the best one?
It's bad. Moreover, if you do this, the eldest son will not have a sense of crisis and will probably be raised to waste.
In the eyes of Yuan Shu, who has the insight of later generations, there are many problems in this era that can be easily solved, but there are also many problems for which even later generations cannot give a correct and perfect answer. For example, the current issue of inheritance and the country's system
question.
It seems that there will never be a perfect answer between the two. If you focus on one, you will miss the other, just like the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time. No matter how good the system is, problems will arise with the development of the dynasty and the passage of time.
, because there is no perfect system in this world, and everything has loopholes. As time goes by, such loopholes will get bigger and bigger, and in the end they will be irreversible.
Yuan Shu has been instinctively avoiding this question. Fortunately, because of his time travel, although he is over forty years old, his physical condition is still that of a young man in his early twenties, and he still has enough time to think about this eternal problem.
Problems that cannot be solved.
Future generations will have their own blessings. Yuan Shu's goal is first to protect the interests of China and let China's flag spread throughout the world. Secondly, it is to ensure that his descendants can have the best possible ending. Finally, it is what he created.
This country can survive as long as possible.
The reason why Da Chu was placed third was because Yuan Shu knew that this goal would be difficult to achieve. Unless a decisive force similar to nuclear weapons appeared, the country he built would eventually decay and perish. If he wanted to maintain it forever, he would basically
It is impossible. However, the first two goals are somewhat possible to achieve.
Of course, there is no need to say more about the former. Yuan Shu's trust and fear of the aristocratic families are two sides of the same coin. The more he was afraid of them in the past, the more he trusts their power now. As long as the power of these aristocratic families is well utilized, Yuan Shu feels that the Han people can reach the top of the world.
The difficulty is not too great. As for the latter, with the descendants of Confucius at the forefront and the experience of the past Zhou Dynasty, Yuan Shu felt that his previous ideas had a certain possibility of being realized.
Under the attention of the three people, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Wen He, can you tell me specifically how to operate this matter?"
Seeing Yuan Shu pretending to be confused, Jia Xu and the others sighed inwardly, guessing that Yuan Yao really had no hope.
After being together for so long, how could they not know the character of their majesty? Although he is extremely excellent in terms of his ability to recognize people, his own will, the way of employing people, and his ability to govern, and he can be called an immortal hero, he is somewhat indecisive.
Too soft-hearted. Perhaps because he had too much experience, Yuan Shu was extremely crisp and clear when dealing with some problems that would be solved by later generations. But when dealing with some problems that would be difficult for later generations to solve, Yuan Shu was a little forward-looking and hesitant.
However, as courtiers, they can't get too involved in this matter. Anyway, no matter who Yuan Shu chooses, as long as there is no big chaos like a palace coup, it will be enough to introduce an idiot with Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and others.
In the future, with the aid of the country and the support of Sun Ce and others, Chu will not have any problems.
In fact, in the eyes of Jia Xu and others, it would be better to directly promote Yuan Yao to the throne of the prince. Directly appointing the eldest son to inherit the throne will avoid a lot of trouble. Although Yuan Yao is less capable and has a somewhat reckless and stubborn temperament, he is different from the current one.
The emperors of Rome are somewhat similar, but now Dachu is on the right track. The successors of the next generation have been finalized and the framework has been set up. They don't need a great emperor, they just need a symbol of being sensible and enterprising.
Just shout 666 behind Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others.
And Yuan Yao's character is very good. He knows military affairs, has a good nature, although he is a bit stupid, he is sensible and follows the steps step by step. Even if he is a mascot, as long as nothing happens, he will not be able to achieve a status similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Impossible, after all, the capital left by Yuan Shu to him is too sufficient. As long as he doesn't cause trouble and does nothing, he can probably be regarded as a wise king. Yuan Shu also means to rule by doing nothing now.
In fact, this is also an attempt by Yuan Shu. Governing the country by prime minister is somewhat similar to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. The monarch only needs to do a good job in the ideological work of the lower-level scholars and soldiers, and firmly control the military power, procuratorial power, trial power, and public opinion.
In terms of aspect. The specific governance of the country and the military and war are respectively responsible for the prime minister, the general and the governor. The monarch only makes decisions in the general direction, minimizing the impact of the emperor's ignorance on the country while trying to ensure the unity of the country's will.
After all, Yuan Shu's wisdom was limited, and this was the most appropriate method he could think of based on later generations. It is not easy to ensure that the country has only one voice while also ensuring mutual checks and balances of power. This eternal problem, Yuan Shu can only think of
here.
Since Yuan Shu had no intention of replying to his hint, Jia Xu didn't say much on this topic. To be able to say such things is already the limit of Jia Xu's character. If he didn't know that Yuan Shu was generous, Jia Xu wouldn't even be able to say this.
Won't even say a word.
"Severu's two sons, the elder brother is named Caracalla and the younger brother is named Geta." Jia Xu said.
"Caracalla inherited his father's iron-blooded and violent character, with fair abilities, but ruthless and extremely ambitious. And Geta inherited his father's kindness to relatives and soldiers, but was cowardly and incompetent. If it continues like this, Gaita will eventually
In all likelihood, Tower will be eliminated by his brother, and Caracalla will become a tyrant like Severus. This is exactly what some nobles in Rome and the senators in the Senate do not want to see. But because Severus
It has elevated the status of military personnel, making them lack the right to speak and unable to form strong support for Geta."
"Wen He, are you saying that we secretly support Getta? This will divide Rome and cause them to fight among themselves?" Yuan Shu said.
"No, since we have to do it, we must do it more thoroughly. Rome is different from us. They have no orthodoxy or dynasty. Their management system is backward and crude, and the change of emperors is extremely easy. It is simply ridiculous. There are always reasons for emperors to fail.
He was killed by an extremely random assassination, and then some people came to power for no apparent reason. Even an ordinary bodyguard could become the emperor." Speaking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. The Roman Empire seemed very strong, but the rule of
The management methods of the author are really too weak, and the governance system is not rigorous at all, and it looks like a joke.
From the development of an ordinary city to the present, the management structure is so loose and full of loopholes, which makes Jia Xu feel ridiculous. Compared with the Han people who are well versed in conspiracy and conspiracy, these people are like a group of fools. If it were other people
For a Han family in Rome, assassinating an emperor was just for fun. You must know that all the personal guards around Yuan Shu have not been strictly scrutinized. At least three generations of ancestors have been checked to confirm their background and loyalty before they can be selected. Moreover, the management is extremely strict, and outsiders can't be selected.
Basically, there is no contact. Whenever you go out, you are bound to be surrounded by countless personal guards and the two bodyguards Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
How many Chinese emperors were stabbed to death? Even if they died unexpectedly, it was mostly due to coups, and there would naturally be orthodox successors. And what about the emperors of countries like Rome? Just like Caracalla, because he was just an ordinary soldier.
He was dissatisfied and was killed by him. What a nonsense. What's even more funny is that after the emperor died, the successor was actually selected by his imperial guard commander. And this guy was a slave.
The black people are legendary and unimaginable.
A cold light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes: "Our first step is to support Geta and suppress Caracalla. Then, encourage Caracalla to kill his father and brother, and then use the hands of Roman nobles and senators to get rid of Caracalla. Finally, we should encourage Caracalla to kill his father and brother.
