Chapter 1944 Confusion
"Asshole! Even I have to open up my voice and be brave enough to accept advice. How can I slander you just because of unfavorable words? You and Xu Jingzong have a history of filth. I naturally know it, but how can I just arbitrarily accuse you of it? If things go on like this, the way of speech will be blocked. Do you want me to become blind and deaf, completely unaware of the world’s affairs? ”
His Majesty Li Er was furious.
Absolutely ridiculous!
Even if you don't accept Xu Jingzong's impeachment, you can just quibble with the wording, but you actually bite back and say that he is a rebellious minister and traitor, and everyone can punish him?
Do you think I am old and confused?
Wang De on the side looked at his nose and heart, sighing in his heart, thinking that Fang Er had always been shrewd, and he had clearly sent someone to inform him of the situation here. He only needed to explain it, and the emperor would naturally put it down gently and did not say anything to him. There is something irritating about this matter. But after being so messy now, I am afraid that the emperor will change his original intention, and a punishment will be inevitable...
Why bother?
Fang Jun seemed unaware of the emperor's anger and said to himself: "May I ask Your Majesty, are all the remaining sons of noble families in this dynasty arrogant and frivolous?"
His Majesty Li Er frowned, wondering why he asked this question. He thought for a moment and said, "That's not entirely true. Although some of the remaining sons are naughty by nature and rely on the shadow of their ancestors to do whatever they want, there are still some people with lofty ideals among them."< br>
"Your Majesty's Holy Ming... Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi, Qin Yingdao and others have known each other since childhood and have become brothers and sisters. Therefore, Weichen knows that they are human beings. They all have great ambitions and want to make achievements, but they have to stay away because of their status. If the center of the family is left idle, not only will it not be supported, but it will be deliberately suppressed..."
Listening to these words, His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
This is the fact. Regardless of whether it is a noble family or a general with military honors, the future family property and title will always be inherited by the eldest son. The remaining sons, such as the concubine and the second son, will not have any political inheritance except for some property. inherit. In the event of an accident, not only will they not receive support from their families, but they will also suppress those outstanding Yuzi because they are afraid of future problems such as whether the Yuzi is strong or weak.
A large aristocratic family can only have one core and one pillar, and it is absolutely forbidden to allow divisions within the family to occur.
Except for a few outstanding and talented people, the vast majority of the remaining children only need to eat, drink, have fun and wait for death... On the contrary, those cousins and children from the branch often receive more support because they have no worries about inheriting the heir. .
Fang Jun saluted and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that those Yuzi who have ambitions but are unable to reach their goals have received the best education since childhood and have been exposed to the influence of rich families. Their own talents and learning are superior to those of most of the children from poor families. But because of those unwritten rules, I have to keep a low profile and tolerate it all my life. And among them, how many amazing and talented people are dying with the grass and trees, and the dust with the light? "
His Majesty Li Er pondered and said: "Continue talking."
"Here! May I ask Your Majesty, do you still remember the order of grace?"
Relying on an order of favor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely eliminated the hidden danger of enlarging the country and brought the centralization of power to an unprecedented level. Only then did he integrate the resources of the whole country and create the unparalleled feat of winning the Dragon City and sealing the wolf to Xu!
How could His Majesty Li Er not know?
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have any!"
I don’t know what kind of medicine Fang Jun sells in his gourd, but His Majesty Li Er subconsciously feels that he has stepped into the hole dug by Fang Jun. He is a little irritable and his words are inevitably unpleasant, regardless of the majesty of the emperor.
The king and his ministers were right, but the emperor actually said bad words.
Fang Jun sweated...
"I know I'm wrong... The reason why aristocratic families can't lose their big ones is because the resources accumulated by their ancestors are passed down from generation to generation, and the firepower is passed down from generation to generation. But if His Majesty can issue an edict, allowing those aristocratic families not to suppress the remaining sons of the family, or even We must promote talents for the country and allow talented people in the family to Didn't Yu Zi study in the Imperial College, Hongwen Hall, etc., and in one fell swoop, the court gained many outstanding children from aristocratic families? And when these children from aristocratic families get ahead, they will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's kindness, be loyal to His Majesty, and swear to protect the Tang Dynasty. ! ”
The idea of abolishing the "primogeniture system of succession" is something one would not even dare to say even to death.
"To establish a direct descendant, it is not to be virtuous, to establish a son to be noble, not to be senior." This is the most basic principle of the patriarchal system. It is the principle that has been followed by ancestors for thousands of years, and it is the foundation of royal rule. In this era If this system is abolished, the world will be in chaos immediately!
However, this system does restrict the development of society and the selection of talents. Natural selection requires competition. Only with competition can you have fighting ability. You are born with a righteous status. You can inherit the family title without doing anything. Who will work hard? What about studying and struggling with all your strength?
A society that has lost competition is a deformed society, destined to reap its own consequences and be eliminated by the trend of the times!
If the remaining sons can have a goal to strive for, and the eldest sons can be aware of the danger, the whole society will be filled with an atmosphere of competition, like a pack of wolves where the brave is king and the fittest survive, then such a society will be a society full of motivation. .
Of course, Fang Jun was just talking. He came up with a shocking topic to confuse the audience and make the emperor downplay his signing of the transfer order. The purpose was achieved.
If he were really asked to say "nonsense" such as "all heirs share the right to inherit", he would not even refuse to die...
Who is tired of living a crooked life and dares to be an enemy of the whole society and challenge universal values? !
His Majesty Li Er sighed. The Order of Encourage is indeed a good thing. It can be applied to the clan, but it can never be applied to aristocratic families. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted the suggestion of his father Yanzhi and implemented the Order of Encourage, it was a situation where Confucianism was fully using it. The people below were proud to implement it smoothly. Now if Executing favor orders to noble families is tantamount to digging up the foundation of Confucianism. I am afraid that if he issues an edict, the whole country will rebel. The ministers rushed into the palace under the banner of "Qingjun side" and killed the treacherous Fang Jun first. , and then depose this foolish king...
But just expressing an attitude, so that the family members no longer suppress the remaining sons of the family, but provide a little support, will definitely allow the court to obtain a large number of talents out of thin air. Although this is somewhat contrary to the policy of suppressing the powerful, it is of great benefit to the country.
The suppression and weakening of the aristocratic families is a long-term and slow process. Too much is not enough, otherwise it will suffer a strong backlash and the gain will not be worth the loss.
"Xue Wanche has already agreed to transfer these people to Youtun Guard?"
His Majesty Li Er was a little puzzled. Although he heard from Baiqi Si that Fang Jun and Xue Wanche had become very close over the years, he still couldn't figure out why Xue Wanche was willing to take the risk of being jealous of the emperor and accept these aristocratic families. Disciples...
Could it be that because of Danyang, some of the gangsters had a stubborn temper and insisted on showing resistance in this way?
Hum! How stupid!
"Exactly! General Xue himself is the fourth son of the family. He can neither inherit the family title nor receive much support from the family. The title and military achievements are all earned by his own bloody battles on the battlefield, so he feels the same and is willing to give these A chance for a playboy in the eyes of others.”
"It's full of nonsense! You must have colluded with each other to deceive Xue Wanche. Otherwise, with his courage, how could he dare to do such a heinous thing?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were sharp and he told the truth in one word.
Fang Jun was sweating a little and hesitated: "This...that...your majesty is wise..."
"Hmph! If Xue Wanche dares to do this, I will definitely punish him. Otherwise, how will you remember this favor? Don't bully honest people! In addition, although there will be an expedition after the spring, the preparations of the college will also be Don’t fall behind. Don’t always chase those old guys like Kong Yingda around. Instead, you wander around leisurely. Fortunately, Kong Yingda treats you like a nephew, not a son of a man!”
"Here!"
Fang Jun was too scared to say another word.
"Okay, who are you showing to me looking so scared? It's annoying to look at you, so get out of here!"
"Here!"
Fang Jun did not dare to neglect, saluted and bowed, then retreated three steps, turned around and left the Dragon Palace, and left quickly.
In the hall, His Majesty Li Er said solemnly: "Xue Wanche, this idiot, will probably have to help count the money after being sold. I'm so angry! Come here, catch this idiot quickly and punish him heavily to make him remember to do what he did." The price for being a good guy is to collect the reward from the bastard Fang Jun! ”
……
In the evening, Xue Wanche was called into the palace by the emperor and was severely beaten with thirty military sticks. Xue Wanche was so angry that he yelled that Fang Jun was not a thing and actually used him, causing him to be beaten. However, this anger disappeared instantly after Fang Jun personally brought Jin Famin to plead guilty and negotiated the slave deal...
Although he received a beating for no apparent reason, he also got a fortune-making business for nothing. Who can make the calculation between gains and losses?
Anyway, Xue Wanche felt that the beating was worth it, Fang Erlang was quite interesting!
If there is such a good thing in the future, he is willing to be beaten again...
Even after hearing the details of the matter in the back house, Princess Danyang came to Xue Wanche's room in person, asked her maid to apply medicine for his wounds, and expressed her deepest condolences.
She used to look down on Xue Wanche, and was even more opposed to Xue Wanche being too close to Li Yuanjing. Now that she suddenly got in touch with Fang Jun, and got such a discovery deal, she felt that this fool seemed to have an idea, so naturally she would not hesitate to reward him. A smiling face to reward him for finally understanding the current situation and choosing the right path and the right person...(End of Chapter)
