The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 220

After lunch, Zhao Yao and He Lianfang sat under the tree and played chess.

It's summer now, and the weather is very hot, especially after noon, but Zhao Yao found that the second uncle's place is very cool, as if it is not affected by summer at all.

He Lianfang asked Zhao Yao to call him "Second Uncle".Zhao Yao asked him if he was the second child in his family, that's why he asked him to call him "Second Uncle".He Lianfang said no.He didn't tell Zhao Yao exactly why he was called "Second Uncle".

Zhao Yao felt that since he knew He Lianfang so well, it was unfair that He Lianfang didn't even tell him his last name.

He Lianfang said that it doesn't matter what his surname or name is.Also, it doesn't matter who he is.The important thing is that he is his second uncle now, and he can trust him completely.

Zhao Yao asked him again if he would tell him his identity in the future.He Lianfang said that when he grows up, he will tell him his identity.

After hearing what He Lianfang said, Zhao Yao didn't continue to ask.He knew in his heart that even if he asked again, the second uncle would not tell him.

Because he was going to Zheng's house to play chess at night, although Zhao Yao felt that an ordinary person would definitely not be able to beat Zheng Rang's genius younger brother, but he didn't want to lose too badly.Although he is only six years old, he is also a man, and a man has a competitive heart.So he asked his second uncle to teach him some tricks so that he would not lose too badly at night.

After hearing Zhao Yao's words, He Lianfang looked at him very delicately: "Are you an ordinary person?"

Zhao Yao nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, I'm just an ordinary kid, how could I win a genius. However, I don't want to lose too badly, or I will lose face too much." How to say, he He is also a prince. Although he is worthless, he should not be too shameful.

Seeing that Zhao Yao really felt that he was an ordinary child, He Lianfang felt helpless: Did this child misunderstand her? He is not an ordinary child.

"You don't need to teach you specifically, you can beat that genius."

"How is it possible?" Zhao Yao looked surprised, "Second Uncle, if you don't teach me the trick, I will definitely lose soon, and I will lose completely." Although he is a child, he still has to face it.

"You are my student, it is impossible to lose to others." He Lianfang snorted and said, "Otherwise, my husband would be too useless."

It was only after Zhao Yao heard the last sentence that he understood what He Lianfang meant, and immediately his expression became a little complicated.

"Second Uncle, are you praising yourself?"

He Lianfang glared at Zhao Yao, "I'm just stating the facts."

Zhao Yao complained silently in his heart: I didn't expect my second uncle to be so narcissistic.

"Why, don't you believe me?"

Hearing that He Lianfang's tone was not good, Zhao Yao hurriedly put on a smiling face: "I believe it, I believe it!" If he said he didn't believe it, the second uncle would definitely be angry, and maybe he would be kicked out.

He Lianfang naturally saw that Zhao Yao didn't believe his words, and he didn't bother to say anything.Continue to play chess with Zhao Yao while teaching him the art of war.

Zhao Yao's talent in the art of war is really amazing. He Lianfang believes that after his teaching, Zhao Yao will become a new God of War in the future.

After playing a game of chess, Zhao Yao benefited a lot after resuming the game seriously.He always felt that he had caught something, but he hadn't caught it clearly yet.

Zhao Yao originally thought that he would continue to play chess, but He Lianfang started chatting with him, and they were talking about the affairs of the court.At this moment, Zhao Yao was extremely flustered, did Second Uncle know his identity?

"Second Uncle, what are you talking about with a child like me about court affairs?"

He Lianfang didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Yao very calmly.

Under He Lianfang's gaze, Zhao Yao felt more and more empty.He really wanted to say that he didn't know anything, but under He Lianfang's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he couldn't say anything.

He Lianfang had no intention of continuing to play with Zhao Yao about concealing her identity.If you continue to pretend that you don't know Zhao Yao's identity, some things will be hard to say.

Zhao Yao lay on the stone table and said dejectedly, "Second Uncle, when did you know my identity?"

"Do you think I'm a fool?" He Lianfang felt that she was underestimated by Zhao Yao, a brat. "I knew your identity the first day you came in."

"What, you knew it on the first day?" Zhao Yao exclaimed, "Am I acting so obvious?" Impossible, he hid it very well, and he didn't show any telltale feet, so it's impossible for him to be seen.

"Do you think you can escape my eyes?" This brat actually thought he was hiding it well.

"Second Uncle, how did you find out?" Where did he show his secrets?

"It doesn't matter how I know, let me ask you, who do you think will win, the prince or the acting king?"

"Second Uncle, you really want to discuss the affairs of the court with me." Zhao Yao scratched his face and said, "Are you sure I know about the affairs of the court?"

"My student is not an idiot." He Lianfang raised the corners of her mouth and said with a chuckle, "If you really didn't know anything, you wouldn't do so many things."

Zhao Yao scratched his head and said, "It seems that everything has been seen through by you, Second Uncle."

"Isn't it normal for me to see through?" He Lianfang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhao Yao, "Prince and Dai Wang, who do you think will win?"

Seeing that He Lianfang's tone became severe, Zhao Yao didn't dare to say haha ​​anymore, otherwise he would definitely make his second uncle angry.

"Both the prince's elder brother and the acting king will not win, they will fight to the detriment of both."

"Why do you think so?" He Lianfang asked intentionally, "Why don't you think Dai Wang will win?"

"Duke Zhen is not easy to deal with." Zhao Yaoduan sat in front of the stone table like an obedient student, "Marquis Xuan Ping and Dai Wang together are no match for Duke Zhen. Duke Zhen is very smart."

He Lianfang asked: "Since you think Lord Zhen is powerful, why didn't the crown prince win in the end?"

"Because the father will not let Zhen Guogong win."

"Oh?" He Lianfang raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a playful smile, "Why doesn't your father let Lord Zhen Guo win?"

"First: Duke Zhen represents the Xie family. The Xie family is the top aristocratic family in the capital. Both the father and the previous emperors are afraid of the aristocratic family, and have always wanted to weaken the power of the aristocratic family." Zhao Yaoyi With a serious face, he said, "Both the emperor's grandfather and father were farmers. What they hate and hate the most is the powerful family, because they have all been exploited and oppressed by the powerful family. They also know that if the powerful family is allowed to oppress ordinary people like before, , then it doesn’t make any sense for them to work so hard to build a big week.”

"Grandpa Huang established Taixue, trained students from poor families, and let them enter the court as officials, in order to break the phenomenon of powerful families monopolizing officialdom."

He Lianfang was surprised when he heard Zhao Yao use the word "monopoly".He didn't speak to interrupt Zhao Yao, and asked Zhao Yao to continue.

"Nowadays, there are many officials from poor families in the court. Although their current official positions are not high, they will definitely hold important positions in the future. This is the purpose of Grandpa and Father."

He Lianfang praised: "That's right."

"Second: Brother Crown Prince is too dependent on the Duke of Zhenguo." Referring to His Royal Highness, Zhao Yao sighed old-fashionedly, "Brother Prince is a very good person and a good brother, but he is not suitable to be an emperor. If the elder brother of the crown prince is allowed to ascend the throne in the future, the same mistakes will be repeated, and the entire Great Zhou will be controlled by a powerful family, so everything that Grandpa Huang and Father Huang have done will be in vain."

"Grandpa Huang said a word when he was in power, the Great Zhou is the Great Zhou of the common people, not the Great Zhou of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family must never be allowed to control the court, otherwise the common people will be oppressed by the aristocratic family again." Zhao Yao looked very serious. He said, "I think Grandpa Huang is right. This world belongs to the common people, not the world of powerful families."

In fact, the real master who said this was Prince Yiyong.

When He Lianfang heard this sentence from Zhao Yao's mouth, there was a slight sadness in the bottom of her heart.

"Father will never let the Xie family control the affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and will never let the prince's brother sit on the throne, so the prince's brother will definitely fail in the end." Zhao Yao said, "Even if there is no acting king, father will Don’t let the prince’s elder brother take the position.”

He Lianfang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "What will happen if Dai Wang and Xuan Pinghou win the crown prince and Zhen Guogong in the end?"

"Father will not make the acting king the crown prince." Zhao Yao said, "Although everyone says that the acting king is the most like the father, the acting king can only fight wars, not manage the country. The most important thing is that the acting king does not have one A heart of kindness. As an emperor, if you are not kind to the people of the world, you will only go to perish in the end."

"There is another most important reason, that Dai Wang is not smart. His brain can only let him know how to fight, and won't let him do other things." In Zhao Yao's eyes, Dai Wang is really stupid.

"I heard that your father likes the acting king very much. Are you so sure that your father will not let the acting king take the throne?"

"Father will not make fun of Da Zhou. If Father really passes the throne to Dai Wang, then Da Zhou will fall into the hands of Dai Wang. Although Da Zhou will not die immediately, it will die soon. At that time, the world will be in chaos again." Although Zhao Yao hates the stinky father, he always thinks that the stinky father has done a good job, "If the father really passes the throne to the acting king, then he will become the king of the world sinner."

So did He Lianfang.He hated Emperor Wu of Zhou very much, but he had to admit that Emperor Wu of Zhou was really a good emperor.

"Very well said, what about the third prince and the others?"

"The third brother, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother can't be because of the support of the family behind them." Zhao Yao said, curling his lips and said, "Leaving aside this point, let's talk about the third brother and the others themselves. They don't have the ability to climb to the throne, they are all self-righteous, but they are actually very stupid." For the third prince and the others, Zhao Yao really looked down on them. "Everyone still thinks that they are superior to others, and if they still want to be emperors like this, even if the emperor's father is out of his mind, he will not let them take the position. Brother Jiu is as impossible as acting king!"

"From what you say, the fourth prince is the only one left?" As for the eighth prince, He Lianfang directly ignored it.In his opinion, it is impossible for the Eighth Prince to succeed.

"Fourth brother is the most suitable emperor. He is smart and powerful. Most importantly, he is capable." Zhao Yao continued, "Actually, fourth brother is the most like father."

"Really?" The kid completely excluded himself. "So, do you think the fourth prince will succeed in the end?"

"No accident, it's the fourth brother." Seeing that He Lianfang didn't ask the eighth prince, Zhao Yao didn't say anything about the eighth prince.

"You have a good relationship with the Fourth Prince?"

"The fourth brother took good care of me. If it wasn't for the fourth brother, I don't know how much I was bullied in the palace."

He Lianfang: "..." This kid has no idea how much Zhao Zheng values ​​him.How Zhao Zheng treats this kid on a daily basis will make this kid think that without the protection of the fourth prince, he will be bullied in the palace and cannot survive.

"You are very optimistic about the fourth prince."

"Don't you think so, Second Uncle?"

"Your analysis just now is quite correct. The fourth prince is indeed likely to succeed to the throne." He Lianfang did not say a word. With him around, it is impossible for the fourth prince to take the throne. "However, the Fourth Prince has a disadvantage, do you know that?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said: "I know, the fourth brother does not have the support of the generals. The generals support the king, because the king and them often fight together. There is another reason. If the fourth brother succeeds to the throne, he will definitely use civil servants. This is not what the general wants to see."

When He Lianfang heard this, surprise flashed across his eyes, he didn't expect Zhao Yao to even notice this aspect.

"Now the world is not completely peaceful, so military generals can continue to be of great use. But in the future when the world is peaceful and military generals are no longer needed to fight frequently, the role and status of military generals will naturally decline. At that time, civil servants will rule the world. His status will surpass that of generals."

He Lianfang's pupils shrank slightly, but his face remained calm.

"Well said."

"In the future, the power of the family will definitely be greatly weakened, and by then there will be new forces to replace the family."

He Lianfang asked curiously: "What new force?"

"Scholar-bureaucrats are actually civil servants, and they will control the government."

He Lianfang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Isn't it a good thing for scholar-bureaucrats to control the government?"

"Second Uncle, wasn't the scholar-bureaucrat the same as the aristocratic family at that time?" Zhao Yao said that he was a little thirsty, took a few sips of tea from the teacup, and continued, "The government cannot only be controlled by one side of the power, otherwise It’s just a word of speech. Civil servants control the government, and the status of generals will be lower and lower, which is not a good thing.” In the history of Zhao Yao’s world in the dream, there were two dynasties because the civil servants were too high, and there was no good end in the end. .

He Lianfang was very shocked when he heard that, he felt that he still underestimated Zhao Yao.

"Then what do you think?"

"It's actually very simple, but it's very difficult to do. The best way is to check and balance the ministers of civil and military affairs, so as to avoid the appearance of a monopoly, but the world is peaceful, and military generals can no longer fight and make meritorious deeds, unless a way can be found , can make the generals come in handy again." Zhao Yao said, "The best way is to let the generals continue to fight, and let the generals attack the Huns or other countries. However, fighting a war requires too much manpower and financial resources. The treasury No matter how rich you are, fighting all the time will consume everything. Besides, the common people don’t want to fight frequently, after all, the dead soldiers may be their sons or grandsons, or husbands and brothers.”

"Well, fighting a war isn't a long-term solution, so there's no real good way to do it."

"Listen to you, in the future Da Zhou will be ruled by civil servants."

"Yes." Zhao Yao said very firmly, "The words of the fourth brother should be able to balance the relationship between the civil and military ministers. However, the fourth brother is still more or less biased towards the civil servants, and then he will lead the court for the latter. laid the groundwork."

He Lianfang marveled in her heart: This kid actually thinks so far, and what he thinks is right.In this regard, he did not think of it.

This kid is born to be an emperor!

"If it were you, what would you do?"

"Me?" Zhao Yao frowned and thought about it carefully, "I don't know what to do either." How could he, a six-year-old child, know what to do. "However, it may be possible to support a new force to fight against civil servants. This new force can restrain civil servants." Wait, it seems that in the history of Zhao Yao's world in the dream, some emperors did this, but they seemed to fail in the end.

He Lianfang asked with interest: "What new force do you plan to cultivate?"

Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "I don't know."

"You can think about it now."

"Ah, what do I want to do?" Zhao Yao looked puzzled, "I won't be the emperor in the future." What was he worrying about.

"Don't you become a king when you grow up? Don't you care about your fief?" He Lianfang laughed angrily at Zhao Yao's words, "Are there no civil servants and generals in your fief?"

"Yes." Hearing what He Lianfang said, Zhao Yao remembered that there was such a thing.

"Don't you think your fiefdom will also be a civil servant in the future?"

Zhao Yao said without thinking, "Of course not."

"Then you have to think about how to check and balance civil servants and generals now."

Zhao Yao said with a bitter face: "This is a big problem, and it shouldn't be something that a six-year-old kid like me should think about."

"This is related to your fiefdom in the future. You don't want anyone to think about it." After hearing Zhao Yao's words, He Lianfang felt that this kid would definitely come up with a good idea.

Zhao Yao pouted and said, "Suddenly I don't want to be king anymore." He just wanted to play around in the future and eat delicious food all over the world, and he didn't want to pay attention to these troublesome things.

"Unless you are demoted to a commoner." He Lianfang sneered, "Once you are demoted to a commoner, you are not far from death. Do you want to live and be king, or do you want to die?"

Is there still a choice, of course he chooses: "Live to be the king." Why is he the prince.Zhao Yao once again disliked his status as a prince in his heart.

"Even if you don't want to fight for the throne, you still have to do a lot of things, otherwise you have only one end." He Lianfang said coldly, "Death!"

Even if he doesn't fight for the throne, he will be forced to get involved, even without his help.As a prince, he was involved in the fight for the heir apparent from birth.

Zhao Yao didn't want to die, so he did so many things in order to grow up smoothly and go to the fiefdom.

"Oh, I'm just a six-year-old child, why do you treat me like this..."

He Lianfang said coolly: "Who called you the prince."

"When I grow up, the aristocratic family may not be cut off by my father, so I don't have to worry about the issues between civil servants and generals for the time being."

"Don't worry about it for the time being, is this problem gone?"

Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "It exists, but the most important thing now is to fight against the aristocratic family."

"You have a way to fight against the family?"

Zhao Yao's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect to be spotted by He Lianfang.He shook his head quickly, then waved his hands and said, "No, how can I possibly fight against the family."

"You have!" He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao sharply, "Say it!"

Does the second uncle have the ability to read people's hearts? !
　I had insomnia last night, and I didn’t fall asleep until four in the morning today, and then I didn’t wake up until noon after taking a nap, so I didn’t have time to update at noon.
