Because Bai Tu did not issue a special gag order, and during the production process, many people were either present or on standby. In addition, there was no statement from the imperial doctor in Chu State. The bachelors from the medical school left one after another after the queen's condition stabilized. Naturally, the news also
Spread quickly...
Although the King of Chu was "not in a hurry", he had a double ring at one time - not only the crown prince, but also two of them!
After the people learned the news, most of them lamented that King Chu was a good man and was rewarded...
Although in ancient times, due to the risk of twins, some places would regard it as ominous due to ignorance, but in the land of China, it is only "some places" or biased, and there has never been a public opinion that "twins are ominous".
And if this kind of thing happened in the emperor's family, who would risk it and say it was ominous?
When the royal power was in turmoil, some people might use this to hype up the situation, and in order to satisfy the interests of a certain group, they would throw out words as a way to advance. But now that the Chu Kingdom has just been established, it is the time when all the people return to their hearts. Naturally, no one dares to gossip.
.
On the contrary, many officials in the DPRK, while appearing happy, were worried or thinking in their hearts!
Twins...how to separate the eldest son?
In folk custom, in some places, the offspring born after the offspring is regarded as the "older brother", because everyone believes that the offspring born after the offspring is the pre-formed fetus.
In this way, the size is controversial...
If brothers and sisters respect each other in the future, everything will be easy to discuss, but once differences arise between brothers, the dispute over the "eldest son" will bring great changes.
Although the eldest son inheritance system is violated from time to time in the imperial family and the succession of kings, it does not affect its undisputed legitimacy.
Even if someone succeeds in usurping the throne, in everyone's mind, "succession by the eldest son" will always be the highest legal basis.
In Chinese history, only the Yuan and Qing dynasties did not talk about inheritance by the eldest son at all. The former had the habit of inheritance by the youngest son, while the latter was based on the will of the first emperor to "select the best."
But at least at this time, the ambiguity of the eldest son will create hidden dangers for the Chu State. Even if Bai Tu specifies the size, it cannot completely end this hidden danger, because the "eldest" of the two people is indeed ambiguous.
But now it is expected that the king must still be excited, and no one is in a hurry to remonstrate with this matter. What's more... even if they want to remonstrate, they have no idea of solving it!
At the same time, in the Chu Palace, the two princes were enjoying the decadent and luxurious treatment of two wet nurses each.
And Bai Tu already had plans in mind for his two sons...
The eldest son inheritance system can be said to be the foundation of the clan system. In the context of the rapid development of productivity, it is not reasonable as a property distribution system for ordinary families.
In particular, Bai Tu also wants to dismember the clan system, so he will naturally not stand on the eldest son inheritance system - if inheritance rights are equal and in line with the accelerated development of productivity, the dependence of the divided families on the clan family will also be reduced.
At the same time, it can also indirectly weaken the hairpin Sakura family's desire to take in concubines. After all, if the concubine also has great inheritance rights, it is equivalent to a higher status of the concubine, which is equivalent to spreading the "enforcement order"
Come……
Bai Tu is also prepared to set an example - of course, the throne of the King of Chu will not be divided into two, and Bai Tu does not want to divide the hereditary title into two. After all, the latter is just some agricultural taxes, and the former... is just "
It's just a "year-end gift, just in case."
As for royal private property, in theory, it will be "equally inherited". As for some particularly important ones, they can also be donated in advance to avoid this.
At least when Bai Tu closes his eyes, the royal family's estate will be inherited by his children and wives... as he advocates...
As for the candidate for the future King of Chu, Bai Tu has no intention of selecting the best. He has already decided that the eldest son who was born first will inherit. Unless there is some serious accident, Bai Tu will not have any sway.
After all, in Bai Tu's plan, with the increase in productivity, the gradual spread of education, and the rapid follow-up of social sciences, it is destined that the "King of Chu" will not be the real emperor for generations to come.
Bai Tu also wants to wait until the world is at peace to start planning, and strive to smoothly remove most of the real power and responsibilities of the "King of Chu" in two or three generations. The smaller the power, the smaller the responsibility...
It doesn't make much sense to "choose the best from the best" among his limited descendants, and Bai Tu doesn't expect to have a son of a sage. It's better to identify one from the beginning and give him the highest legal rationality to ensure stability.
Later, in terms of education, he was taught from an early age his "responsibility as the second generation of the King of Chu" - to maintain the stability of Chu State, suppress the formation of clans, and ensure a smooth promotion channel to the grassroots... On this basis, weaken the power and responsibilities of the King of Chu,
Strive to make the "King of Chu" a person who enjoys glory without being too involved in government affairs during the "Third Generation Eye".
It seems that the requirements for talent are not high, but the requirements for education are very high, and mainly in terms of ideas. Once the desire for power expands, it will be a "countdown" for future generations.
Therefore, it is even more important to determine the candidate and then provide adequate education, including the education of other princes and princesses!
Firstly, they also have to serve as a role model for the royal family and assist the future King of Chu; secondly... they must also consider the situation where other brothers and sisters need to inherit the throne of King Chu if an accident occurs; thirdly, they must
Beware of failure in education and the situation where other princes do not want the position of King Chu to be weakened and make irrational actions!
As for the twins, how can one of them obtain unquestionable legality?
Bai Tu already has a case...
The two little guys were only three days old and had not seen many strangers yet. However, Lu Bu often came to see the two little guys.
That day, Bai Tu was waiting outside the two little guys' room. As expected, Lu Bu came over on time early in the morning, but was stopped by Bai Tu...
"Father, I want to tell you something." Bai Tu stopped Lu Bu and said.
"Well? Is it military intelligence?" Lu Bu asked responsibly.
"No..." Bai Tu shook his head.
"Then have you thought of a name?" Lu Bu immediately asked aggressively, as if thinking of a name was a big deal without military intelligence.
"The names... I have already thought about it. The eldest son will be named 'Qing' and the second eldest son will be named 'Yan'! He Qing and Hai Yan are not only the two major events in Chu State now, but also the expectations of Chu State in the future. But as for the surnames, I
I want to discuss it with my adoptive father." Bai Tu said seriously.
"What's negotiable about the last name?" Lu Bu suddenly felt like, "Is my son stupid?"
This was again in the pre-Qin period. When a family separated, they had to change their surnames. Of course, they all had the same surname...
Lu Bu suddenly realized something. He looked at Bai Tu in shock and moved the corners of his mouth, but did not say anything.
The hesitation was not because Bai Tu was the "King of Chu". Privately, Lu Bu did not regard Bai Tu as the King of Chu, but because in an ordinary family, this matter would be unbelievable enough to cause "hesitation".
"I am the adopted son of my adoptive father, but I have never done anything for my adoptive father... With my adoptive father's body, it will not be my turn to stand in front of my adoptive father's bed in his later years. I want to... regard Yan'er as his adoptive father's grandson.
My son, take the surname Lu." Bai Tu said directly.
When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes turned red at first, and he patted Bai Tu on the shoulder, but then he said firmly: "No! You are the King of Chu, and they are also brothers. How can they have the same surname as Lu?"
"Father, please listen to my explanation. In fact, I have selfish motives for doing this. Firstly, I cannot grant a title just because he is my son. In the future, if my foster father still has Qu Ahou, he can pass it on to Yan'er. Secondly,
Only in this way can Qing'er's identity as the eldest son be beyond doubt..."
