(I sat there all night and coded out the second update, asking for a red ticket)
In May, it was already the beginning of summer. Ning Zechen, the commander of Fengli Army, Song Shixing, the military adviser, Meng Jin, the prefect of Shouzhou, Song Jia, and Liu Miaozhen went to Sanghepu on the southern border of Shouzhou to meet Lin Fu.
Sanghepu was originally a military fortress set up here by the Huaixi Army in the early years. It was a military bunk and a military fortress, which was used to defend against the Huaidong garrison in Luzhou.
After Shouzhou was acquired, the Huaixi part south of the Huai River was integrated with Luzhou and Dongyang. The garrison at Sanghepu was naturally withdrawn and replaced by a post station on the way from Chaodong to Shouzhou.
It was already dark when they left Juchao and arrived at Sanghepu. Lin Fu and others, together with the people who came from Shouzhou to meet them, temporarily stayed at Sanghepu.
As the night grew darker, Ning Zechen, Song Shixing, and Meng Jin found excuses to drag Gao Zongting, Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu, and accompanying Zhou Pu to leave early without delaying the reunion of Lin Fu, Liu Miaozhen, and Song Jia.
In the minds of the Huaidong generals, Lin Fu had long replaced Emperor Yongxing, who was used as a decoration in the imperial city.
Although Lin Fu said he wanted to be frugal, in fact, because Lin Fu might stay temporarily, Sanhepu was temporarily repaired, and a posthouse was built on the periphery for the cavalry to station and defend.
Lin Fu's guard work has become Huaidong's top priority. With Huaidong's strength already irreversible, it is not unimaginable for the enemy to break through the bottom line and pin their hopes on assassination.
Although the daily guards are still provided by the Forbidden Camp Cavalry, and Zhou Pu is the commander of the Forbidden Camp Cavalry, his loyalty to Lin Fu will naturally not waver in the slightest, but he is good at battlefields, but not good at fighting in secret areas.
At the insistence of the people in Huaidong, the Duke's palace set up a guard room, and transferred Zhou Xiazi and his fourth wife Feng Peipei to take charge of internal security and external service, instead of placing the burden on Zhou Pu.
The fourth lady was originally the wife of Qin Chengzu's eldest son. She was trapped by Chen Hansan. Qin Chengzu's eldest son Qin Xingwen died in the battle during the breakout. The fourth lady has been a widow ever since. When the old general of the Su family met Lin Fu, the fourth lady has been close to Su Mei.
Guards, after Su Mei married into the Lin family, the fourth lady has been responsible for guarding the inner house.
Although Qin Chengzu did not allow the fourth lady to remarry, she had practiced martial arts since she was young and was strong and healthy. Although her appearance was above average, her status was already quite high in the later period. Ordinary men could not match her status.
, her temperament does not look down on ordinary men, and men with high status can marry beautiful wives and concubines everywhere, so why marry a tigress home?
After returning to Jiangning from the Jingxiang War, Zhou Pu once got drunk and made a fool of himself. He was coaxed by everyone to invite the Fourth Lady to compete in martial arts in front of the banquet, and beat the Fourth Lady to the ground. After this incident, Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu forcibly made the decision.
Promising the fourth wife to Zhou Pu, they arranged a marriage between an old widow and an old bachelor - Zhou Pu was originally a newlywed, but he couldn't stand others making fun of him about it, so he insisted on leading a team to escort Lin Fu out of Jiangning this time.
Patrol.
Of course, the forbidden camp cavalry was under the command of Zhou Pu, and the real internal defense work was still in charge of Zhou Bin, the blind man who accompanied him.
In the dead of night, Lin Fu told Song Jia the reason for the marriage between Zhou Pu and the Fourth Lady. When Liu Miaozhen listened, Song Jia laughed and said, "You guys are all showing off your skills, but in a real competition, Zhou Pu can't beat the Fourth Lady.
You can’t beat Miaozhen either…”
"Miaozhen is invincible in a horse fight, but if I can win against her, why do I need to be on a horse?" Lin Fu looked at Liu Miaozhen, "How about a bed fight?"
"You have nothing to be ashamed of!" Song Jia was so thick-skinned that she almost fell down from the table laughing after listening to Lin Fu's words. Liu Miaozhen had the demeanor of a general and could control tens of thousands of men in Huaiyang, but she called Lin Fu such a scoundrel.
Her face turned red as she spoke, and she buried her face on the table, but her slender neck that was exposed was so red that it was so charming and beautiful for no reason.
Song Jia did not dare to blindly pick up on Lin Fu. If he commented that Lin Fu was "powerless to fight on horseback, and powerless to fight in bed", he might become the laughing stock in the inner house in the future. She thought of a way to change the subject and asked Lin Fu: "This
Why did the matter of establishing a legitimate son in Jiangning cause such a big disturbance?"
Firstly, Song Jia couldn't clear her name, and secondly, she had been with Lin Fu for all these years, and she really couldn't have children. There were some things that Lin Fu, Jun Xun, and Liu Yuer were still separated from each other, and there was no way to tell them about the matter of establishing a direct heir.
But he was more willing to tell Song Jia that among the wives and concubines, Liu Miaozhen was guarding Xuzhou alone. Lin Fu also felt that he owed her, so he asked her and Song Jia to sit on the couch, so that he could hug him from left to right. He was so unhappy that he said: "It's just a matter of setting up the rightful son."
An introduction; you also know that what new system and new deal I want to implement now, even if there is any resistance from below, it is okay to press your head and push it forward. However, in order for the new system to be implemented, it must take root. When it comes to manpower
You are poor. Since ancient times, it has been difficult for emperors to live long. I am still strong, and I should probably live another thirty to fifty years. Compared with the long history, thirty or fifty years is just a blink of an eye, and the new system can only last two generations.
People. I am here, pressing my head to implement the new system. Even if the people below have a rebound, they will not be able to bounce back. But if I am gone, once the new system is repeated, there will be great turmoil, and may even cause a bloody storm. This is not the case.
What I want to see is that everyone is eagerly looking forward to establishing a new dynasty. Is it so easy to establish a new dynasty? Traditionally, why do we attach great importance to the system of establishing a direct descendant and establishing a crown prince? Without him, establishing a legitimate crown prince involves the fundamental inheritance of power.
What is the main purpose of the system of establishing direct descendants and establishing elders after thousands of years of bloody power? It is to ensure that power can be passed down in an orderly manner - you all read history. According to historical records, starting from the Spring and Autumn Period, more than two thousand people
In the past few years, in addition to the change of dynasties, how many bloody battles for power in the kingdom have revolved around the establishment of a direct heir or a crown prince? Whether it is the Qi clan, the clan, or the foreign ministers, whoever wins the support is almost equal to the
Master the highest power besides the monarch; and to ensure that the inheritance can be carried out in an orderly manner, in addition to establishing a prince, it is also extremely important to select teachers for the prince. Xin'er, Wu'er, and Rui'er have all arrived at school one after another.
The age of literacy. In fact, people have mentioned the matter of teacher selection again and again. How could I not be wary of what lies behind it? How could I not kill their arrogance? Of course, I can’t blame those who are blowing the wind.
Whether it's Li Xin'er, Li Wu'er, or Li Rui'er, some people will be happy and some will be sad. If I wishfully don't want you to get involved in this matter, is it possible? And once you want to get involved in this matter, what will happen?
Things will become complicated and cause headaches..."
Lin Fu definitely wants to abolish Yuan Yue and establish a new dynasty. Traditional brothers and sisters fight for the family property, let alone the throne of the new dynasty before everyone!
Liu Yue'er, the Su sisters and Sun Wenwan all get along well with each other on weekdays, but when it comes to whether their son can win the throne, the tigress's nature will come out; even if Liu Yue'er, the Su sisters and Sun Wenwan can deal with each other peacefully, but
There is absolutely no way to get rid of the Qi clan behind it and the deeper power entanglements.
One slander may not make a person sway, but thousands of times, if all the slander is blowing in his ears all day long, how can he still control his character?
Song Jia and Liu Miaozhen have no children at this time, so they can detach themselves, but if they think about it, if they have children, they will definitely not be able to be so detached - especially since the main wife Gu Junxun has no children, and the eldest son Lin Xin's maternal clan is pitifully weak.
When heirs compete for the throne, how many women in the world can control it?
In fact, the issue of selecting teachers was euphemistically mentioned before Lin Xin entered school - the selection of teachers is actually directly related to the selection of direct descendants. If Lin Fu asked Cao Zi'ang, Gao Zongting and other important officials to assign Lin Xin to teach lessons
, in fact, it means that their future political status will be tied to Lin Xin.
Lin Fu couldn't blame Liu Yue'er for being ignorant. Liu Yue'er had a weak temperament, and it was a tradition to select teachers for his son. Lin Fu did not agree at the time, but insisted on setting up a public school and sent Lin Zhengjun and Lin Xin to the public school.
Enroll in the school and temporarily put an end to their thoughts of selecting teachers for Lin Xin and Lin Zhengjun.
As we get closer and closer to the throne, and the establishment of direct descendants involves the inheritance of the throne of the new dynasty, how could it not involve the thoughts of the inner house and related relatives? They did not have the guts to come to Lin Fu to make irresponsible remarks, but Lin Fu
We can't stop some people from running to the inner house to blow the wind...
"I also want to seize the opportunity for this commotion," Lin Fu sighed, "I don't want the back house to be in peace in the future! Look, after I handed over the matter of establishing a direct descendant to the government meeting, what happened in the past few months
Since then, no one has mentioned the matter of teacher selection in their ears..."
"You're just trying to scare people with this little trick," Song Jia said. "After a long time of work, you came up with a public meeting. Can the public meeting save you a headache?"
"It is good to be the Emperor of Taiping, but the sky will not always be peaceful. I am confident that I have the ability to govern the country, and I can control a group of generals and turn the world from chaos to order. However, in the future, I will encounter a natural or man-made disaster, and I will
What should I do if my descendants are just a loser?" Lin Fu said, "Traditionally, the royal family usually uses relatives, courtiers or clans to check and balance foreign ministers, but the consequences of relatives, courtiers and clans exercising power are no less severe than those of foreign ministers exercising power.
In troubled times, the disasters will be a hundred times more severe, and the world will be destroyed. Therefore, I will not establish a clan, nor will I appoint courtiers, nor will I establish a clan to check and balance foreign ministers. However, I do not want the Privy Council and the Military Staff to appear in the future.
Power minister, what should I do if the powerful commander cuts off the heads of my descendants? The only way is to disperse the power of the prime minister and prevent it from being concentrated in the hands of a few people. This is why there is a public meeting! There is a public meeting.
By balancing the relationships in all aspects, the destructive power of the power struggle will be less. Those relatives, clans, teachers and ministers who want to fight for direct lineage, want to fight for phase, want to be crowned, okay, I will let them all
Let's fight openly in public meetings. There is no need to hide behind the scenes and shoot people with secret arrows, making people unable to guard against them! Let them fight in the circle of public meetings for thirty or fifty years first, so that they can get used to fighting.
, seeing that fighting in this circle has the advantage of not expanding the struggle, I will settle for this mode of disposal."
The deliberation system of the Yuanyue Government Hall can actually be said to be the predecessor of the government meeting, but the decision-making power of the Government Hall is only limited to the ministers. Once the ministers find a superior one (this is also the case in the Yuanyue Middle School)
One of the root causes of party strife in the later period), the power was concentrated in one person, and the power of the prime minister was excessively expanded. At this time, the royal family used relatives, clan members or eunuchs to suppress the power of the prime minister, which exposed other serious drawbacks - Lin Fu
The actual plan is to split the Government Hall into the Government Council and the Privy Council.
The government meeting that admits representatives of the clan, Qi clan, and various forces into the Senate is responsible for deciding new systems and new policies that have never been seen before, and the Privy Council is responsible for their implementation, so that the relationship between all parties can be well balanced.
Maybe after the new dynasty is established, Lin Fu will also let someone come out of the Privy Council and actually assume the position of prime minister. However, since he only has the power of execution and no power of decision-making, the power will be effectively restricted and will not fundamentally change the dynasty.
It would endanger the monarch's power - of course, the public meeting is actually one of the aspects of the situation. Naturally, he will not like an overly strong monarch to ascend the throne. Lin Fu will throw the system of establishing a direct descendant to the public meeting, which will actually greatly reduce the risk.
Various families fought overtly and secretly over the matter of establishing heirs and crown princes.
"This is a good idea, but I'm afraid you may harm Mr. Ku Xiaozheng in the future!" Liu Miaozhen said.
Liu Miaozhen was used to fighting in the battlefield, but she couldn't get along with Gu Junxun, Liu Yuer and other female relatives. Sometimes Lin Fu would reunite with his wife, concubines and children, but Liu Miaozhen got along most harmoniously with Xiao Zhengjun.
The original intention of Lin Fuli's daughter-in-law was to seize the initiative and suppress all aspects. However, after bargaining, she implemented the system of government meetings, but Xiaozhengjun was pushed to the forefront. Xiaozhengjun was still young at this time,
When she is a little older, the Lin family and Huaidong's important officials will definitely keep an eye on Xiao Zhengjun's marriage to prevent her from becoming a factor that interferes with the inheritance of the imperial line. After all, they are still afraid of Lin Fu's whim...
Lin Fu laughed and said, "Who said I can't establish a queen?"
"Ah, are you planning to establish a new dynasty and then seal off the vassal state?" Song Jia was the most thoughtful and could tell the difference between the empress and the queen.
Lin Fu nodded and said: "If the Central Plains is not broken, we must ensure unification and centralization of power. However, it will be difficult for the central government to directly control overseas areas. Maybe we can implement a feudal system. Zhengjun, my heart and soul, how can I
Will I be willing to harm her? I also want to give Jun Xun and the others a warning about establishing a direct line of descent, so I have put these plans aside without telling them in detail... Think about it, I am going to give you a cold face, and I will give you a cold face in a few days.
It's over; if you sisters give me a cold face and have a small heart, I'm afraid it will be remembered for the rest of your life."
"So you are a big-hearted person, while we girls are small-minded?" Song Jia retorted unconvinced, but Lin Fu pinched her waist, which was painful but could not harden her bones.
Liu Miaozhen had never thought about conferring royal vassals overseas, but if you think about it, didn't Huaidong get its start by forcibly opening the trade doors of Japan and Goryeo?
Nowadays, in Haidong, Jeju and Dongzhou Dudufu are directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangning, which can be regarded as the central enclave in Haidong; it is also the bridgehead and base for Jiangning's trade penetration into Haidong.
Nanyang has a wider land. If Jiangning wants to penetrate and expand trade in Nanyang, just sending merchant ships there for trade is not enough. Once Jiangning's trade penetration and expansion rob local resources and wealth beyond its ability to bear,
It will inevitably encounter strong resistance, so Jiangning will need to use force to open the door to trade. It will inevitably occupy a piece of land in the Nanyang port area to build a city and station troops and officials like Jeju City.
For the future governance of overseas territories, Lin Fu considered adopting the method of combining the governor's palace and the feudal prince's palace, with the governor dispatched by the central government and the overseas feudal prince's palace being hereditary.
Lin Fu sighed again and said: "It may be a big step to establish a female vassal king, but if we establish a female prince and a female prince overseas, the government meeting will not really argue with me.
!”
Song Jia laughed and said: "You just want to mess around; establishing a direct line involves the inheritance of the new dynasty, and no one will let you mess around. Besides, if you mess around, who will stop you? Besides, others may not be able to tell you.
I hope you will grant your daughter a vassal overseas - granting your daughter a vassal overseas, and then accepting a native villager as your son-in-law will be conducive to establishing a vassal overseas."
"Speaking of letting me mess around, will you stay with Miaozhen?" Lin Fu asked with a shy face.
"Go," Song Jia rolled her eyes at Lin Fu angrily and said, "First let this bed war go away..." When Liu Miaozhen heard Song Jia say this again, she was so embarrassed that she didn't even have the strength to get up.
It really lives up to the saying "You are invincible in a horse fight, but you are powerless in a bed fight".
