Han Dao world

Chapter 1070
After Fushou became pregnant again, it goes without saying that she was happy, but also worried.

As Liu Xie said, it is difficult to be a prince, and it is even more difficult to be a prince of the hero.

In the [-]-year history of the Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of princes who successfully succeeded to the throne, and even more died unexpectedly. Even Emperor Xiaowen had the idea of ​​changing the prince.

The only thing that reassures her is that Liu Xie is obviously not a hero like Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowu. He has a farther vision and cares more about protecting her as a queen.If it weren't for Liu Xie's insistence, her position as queen would have been unstable long ago.

Even so, she was a little worried.Taking advantage of Liu Xie's good mood today, and just mentioned it again, he mustered up the courage to make a side note.

I didn't expect Liu Xie to be more direct than her, directly pointing it out, but it caught her off guard.

Fortunately, she is also familiar with Liu Xie, and knows that Liu Xie is not the kind of person who deliberately digs holes.The reason why she is so straightforward is that she must have considered similar issues before, but she has not yet found a specific solution, so she wanted to hear her opinion.

It's just that she didn't have a ready-made solution.

She had originally pinned her hopes on Liu Xie, hoping that Liu Xie would have a proper solution like dealing with other problems.

The two were relatively speechless, and then smiled knowingly.

"It seems that you don't have any ideas, so let's talk casually." Liu Xie said.

Fu Shou immediately said obediently: "I would like to hear your majesty's opinion."

"Actually, the key to this kind of thing is those four words: self-restraint and return to courtesy. Everyone has their own desires. Whether they can restrain their desires and keep the etiquette is extremely important..."

Liu Xie was not in a hurry, and spoke calmly, as if he was not discussing the imperial power that was related to his own personal interests.

In fact, to discuss this issue, first of all, stay out of it.

Fans of the authorities.Being in the situation, it is impossible to see the essence of the problem.

He was able to do this because he was not a born emperor, but a traveler who came from two thousand years later, living in an era when the imperial power had been destroyed.As an outsider, he has seen too many royal tragedies, is well versed in the drawbacks of imperial power, and has seen better options.

What he has to do is to turn that better choice into a system in a way that people of this era can accept.

Such as abdication.

He has always felt that the one-person-one-vote universal suffrage system in the West is not the best system. Too many people are limited by immediate interests and cannot make rational choices.And people who are good at manipulating public opinion and winning elections are usually not qualified politicians.

Knowing the king is certainly a joke, so why not Ao Guanhai?

In contrast, the Eastern traditional layer-by-layer selection system is more conducive to the succession of political power and the stability of policies.

The premise is to control the infinite expansion of the emperor's personal desires.

One of them is life tenure.

No matter how wise a person is, he will be lazy in his administration when he is old, his mind will be unclear, and he will make muddled decisions.

Therefore, it is very important to hand over power before being fatuous.Even if you retreat behind the scenes and become the Supreme Emperor, it is safer than directly holding the highest power.

For this alone, Deng Gong will be glorious through the ages, catching up with the legendary Yao and Shun.

Liu Xie also wants to do the same, but he hasn't reached that point yet, and there is enough time to brew.

Since Fu Shou mentioned it, he took the opportunity to blow the wind.

Following the example of Yao and Shun, practicing the system of abdication, choosing to abdicate at a certain age and abdicating to the successor is a feasible solution.

From a moral point of view, this is the system of the ancient sage kings, and no one will object to it.

As far as the reality is concerned, the old emperor listened to the government behind the curtain, and Fu Sijun succeeded to the throne, and gave him a ride, which was also good for the succession of the regime.

The only troublesome thing is whether the old emperor can control his selfish desires.

The king of future generations may not be able to do it, but he can set the law of the ancestors so that the king of future generations cannot easily overthrow it.

Of course, relevant system construction should also be considered.

For example, the abdication system cannot be completely copied, leaving a loophole called abdication, but in fact usurping the throne, so that Wang Mang and his ilk can make a comeback.

For example, how to ensure that the new ruler is not a puppet, while the old ruler can maintain his dignity.

Another example is how to coexist between the monarch and his subjects, so that while the monarch's power is limited, the minister's power will not expand infinitely and go to another extreme.

These are all things to consider, and it is by no means a decision that can be made by patting the head.

After hearing Liu Xie's thoughts, Fu Shou was deeply moved.

The emperor had thought of these issues a long time ago, and considered them more comprehensively and far-reachingly than her.

With such an emperor, why should I worry about the future?
It is right to have a few more strong and intelligent sons-in-law and educate them to be useful, so that the emperor has more choices.

-

The emperor's stay in Nanyang not only played a key role in promoting Nanyang's Dutian, but also had obvious deterrent significance to the neighboring Chongyu and Henan prefectures. The responsibility on Han Sui's shoulders was instantly lightened a lot.

In the eighth and third years of Jian'an, when spring plowing began, all the prefectures and states in the four prefectures of Yanyu, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou had completed their fields.

Although it is not ruled out that some counties are still resistant, in fact, no one dares not to go to the field.

If you don't save the fields, the people will rebel.

When the emperor and the common people stood together, the scholar-bureaucrat caught in the middle suddenly found that his body was like duckweed, and his feet were so empty that it was frightening.Coupled with the [-] Xiliang soldiers who were watching eagerly, there were only a handful of people who dared to stand up and oppose, and their voices were so small that they could be ignored.

Berkshire and Guanghan in Yizhou went to the fields under the supervision of the imperial army, and they made the fastest progress.During the spring plowing, almost all the land has been allocated, and the people are enthusiastically devoted to production.

Affected by this, the counties and states in the south of the Yangtze River also began to advance Dutian.It's just that the progress is different and the intensity is also different.

Someone suggested that Liu Xie make a tour of the south and take a walk in the south of the Yangtze River.

After repeated discussions between Liu Xie and Yang Biao, they decided to wait.

Of course Jiangnan needs to be developed, but it doesn't happen in a day or two, or even in a year or two, so a little slowdown won't have much impact.

Nanyang is different.

The legacy of Dixiang is too deep. On the surface, it seems that the new wind is blowing all over the earth, but there is still a lot of power behind it.He should stay in Nanyang for at least a year, so that the benefits of Dutian can be realized, let all the people see the real benefits, and let the opponents see that the improvement of the overall strength can make up for their losses. The last resistance completely melted away.

Wherever the emperor goes, there will be new fashions, and once the emperor leaves, he will revive. Inspections are meaningless except for wasting money and people.

When staying in Nanyang, Liu Xie was not idle.

He did two things: first, set up a shrine for Zhang Heng, ordered people to sort out Zhang Heng's works, published them all over the world, and organized people to conduct in-depth research;

Most of the former students in the lecture hall came from the army, and a small part were the children of officials.This time, a new class was opened, and the students admitted were all teenagers with no military experience, under the age of twelve, both male and female.

Liu Xie asked Yu Fan to start teaching them basic reading and literacy, teaching them martial arts, art of war, and various skills necessary for marching and combat. The schooling period is five years.

After graduation, these people pass the assessment and will be added to the Forbidden Army, becoming the new blood of Hubenrou and Habayashiro.

The bright future suddenly attracted thousands of people to apply for the exam.After careful selection, one hundred and eight people were admitted.

In order to show his importance, Liu Xie personally taught these teenagers the first lesson.
