Chapter 515 The Situation of Emperor Mingguang (Additional Update 3)
Li Wenchong shook his head gently, with a look of helplessness on his face: "My brother really wants to, but if you think about it, he is not young anymore and he doesn't dare to make big moves. He is afraid that his moves are too big.
, if something unexpected happens, my nephews can't suppress it...my nephews can't suppress it, then I have to come forward, whether I can suppress it or not, it's good for me and for the royal family.
Neither is a good thing. Instead of taking such a big risk, my brother would rather take it slow..."
To put it bluntly, Emperor Guangming is no longer young and strong. Although he has ambitions, considering various factors, he can only take his time and seek stability.
When the imperial power changes, the most fearful thing is that the foundation of the courtiers is unstable.
Both the royal family and his brother were making such preparations. When he left Beijing, the legitimate sons of his nephews were born. While it became more lively, the pressure on his brother also increased.
.
As an elder, he hopes to have a full family of descendants. The more descendants there are, the more secure he will be. But as an emperor, he is getting older. Seeing the princes below him growing up one by one and having legitimate sons, how can he not feel a sense of security?
What about pressure?
In the past, Emperor Mingguang supported the second prince Jin Junwang, but now Emperor Mingguang supports the eldest prince Li Jian. In the final analysis, it is all for "balance".
Gu Qingling naturally knew this, and she also knew something else - her spiritual tea could make Emperor Mingguang live a few more years.
But she knew it, the royal family didn't know it, Li Wenchong knew it, the princes didn't know it, and even Emperor Mingguang himself didn't know it.
"Is your brother's health good when you left Beijing?" Gu Qingling's eyes flickered and he said tentatively, "It shouldn't be much different when I left Beijing, right? I really think your brother is in good health.
It has the appearance of longevity."
Li Wenchong opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't tell Gu Qingling directly. He could only shake his head slightly and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. We should discuss less about my brother's affairs."
, lest my brother would be unhappy if he knew about it. If there is anything, let’s just talk about it. When we are in front of others, we won’t say it anymore.”
Which emperor likes his subordinates to talk about how old they are and how long they can live when they have nothing to do all day long?
I'm afraid I don't want to live anymore.
He dared to say it because he was sure that he was surrounded by his people and his words could not spread.
But without him, if Gu Qingling said it outside, no one would hear it.
Gu Qingling chuckled: "Besides telling you, who else do you think I can talk to about this kind of thing? Aren't you curious, I am not young anymore, but I still look young, how do I maintain myself? What if I
I really have longevity in my hands..."
Before Gu Qingling could finish speaking, Li Wenchong covered her mouth: "Don't say such nonsense, even in front of me. I can't guarantee what I will do if my heart is moved one day.
Come on. I know you have a secret, and you know it yourself, but you are Brother Can's mother, and I am Brother Can's father...that's enough."
Some things just stop there.
This is what Li Wenchong meant.
Is there anything that a person from a royal family is insensitive to?
It's just that sometimes, you can't live too clearly, otherwise life will be meaningless.
Gu Qingling was surprised, she always thought...
"do you understand?"
Gu Qingling nodded.
Li Wenchong then let go, then naturally took her little hand and squeezed it less obviously.
Gu Qingling: "..."
here we go again!
But this time, Gu Qingling did not let go of Li Wenchong's hand. Li Wenchong saw it from the corner of his eye and felt proud in his heart.
Gu Qingling complained in her heart: I originally wanted to tell you that Emperor Mingguang would definitely be a long-lived emperor, but since you don't want to know, forget it.
As time goes by, you will know.
I believe that at that time, Emperor Mingguang will no longer take things slowly, right?
But in fact, slowing down is a good thing for this society. After all, social change is a kind of labor pain. If it is too fast, people's thinking will not change, and it will easily cause all kinds of turmoil.
Taking your time will give you more time to adapt.
Gu Qingling wanted to change the world and make it better, but he also didn't want it to experience this kind of "labor pain". If it could be passed smoothly, that would be the best thing.
The law of development of things is not dependent on human will. As long as it is provided with suitable soil and a seed is dropped, it will sprout and bloom.
The economic base determines the superstructure. When the economy develops to a certain level, people will naturally and naturally begin to pursue spiritual things.
Once the eyes of the people at the bottom are opened, the world will become wonderful.
Gu Qingling was engaged in economic construction in Jinling, focusing on education and public opinion, using various means to enlighten people's wisdom and encourage people to innovate. Isn't this the purpose?
The emergence of new things not only changed the lives of local people in Jinling, but also attracted a large number of big businessmen who came to dig for gold.
Some are looking for the first pot of gold, while others are looking to develop things to new heights. No matter which type they are, as long as they find business opportunities, they will bring these new things to all parts of the country.
Jinling's cement industry, newspaper industry, book industry, children's market, women's market... all kinds of new things have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
In the past, when transportation was not so developed, information and goods would not spread so fast, but now we have cement.
The development of cement has made communication more and more advanced, and the development of carrier pigeons, reporters, and newspapers has also made the spread of information faster.
Even though other places are one step behind Jinling, certain changes have quietly occurred and various sprouts are sprouting.
One day, these sprouts will break through the ground, and the world will never be the same.
All Gu Qingling had to do was wait patiently.
And be prepared for this change, seize this opportunity, and let yourself be at the forefront of the trend.
At the same time, Gu Qingling was also preparing Jinling's "successful case" and handed it to Emperor Mingguang through Li Wenchong's eyes and mouth, making him realize step by step that the times were changing.
And this change is good. It will exude new vitality to the entire society and make the Ming Dynasty stronger.
Gu Qingling needs Emperor Mingguang to "prepare" with her, from ideas to thoughts to actions. She wants Emperor Mingguang to "understand" the world again bit by bit. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty go further.
Far.
After traveling with Gu Qingling for a few days, Li Wenchong discovered that Gu Qingling had given him one huge "surprise" after another. Others only saw Gu Qingling engaged in real estate, attracting investment, and promoting Jinling's economy, but who among them noticed that Jinling's
So there is actually a reason why such a big change happened so smoothly.
Every time before doing something, Gu Qingling will investigate in advance to find out the most important contradiction at the moment, and start from "solving the problem" to guide everyone to take a big step forward.
It is not easy to take this step. Whether the people are willing to take it, what issues are they most concerned about? If they take it, can their interests be ensured?
It is not only necessary to solve the problems of ordinary people, but also to involve the entire Jinling, especially those powerful families who have a lot of resources in their hands, including land resources, money, and other things. How?
How about letting them willingly "take it out" and follow Lu Qingling?
If you do this, how do you divide the interests and ensure that everyone is satisfied, so that next time there are new projects, people will take the initiative to send them to your door.
