The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 263 Why can't each dynasty last forever?
In the study room of Kunde Palace, Zhao Yao was reading the letter written by his third uncle.

Concubine Liang sat across from him, seeing him frowning, raising and relaxing his brows for a while, with a wonderful expression on his face, she hurriedly asked with concern, "What did the third uncle write to you?" Got it from the emperor.However, she kept it from Zhao Yao.

"The third uncle's letter this time is about history. He asked me why every dynasty can't last forever?" Zhao Yao frowned and said, "The Chen Dynasty once had a heyday of peace and prosperity. Has the country perished?" After speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Concubine Liang.

"Third uncle also asked me, how many years can Da Zhou last?"

Concubine Liang took the letter and looked down carefully.After reading it, she asked Zhao Yao: "Why do you think it is? Then how many years do you think Da Zhou can last?"

Zhao Yao said: "The Great Zhou cannot last for a long time, at most it can only last for more than 300 years."

Concubine Liang returned the letter in her hand to Zhao Yao and asked, "Why don't you think the Great Zhou can last for four or five hundred years?"

Hearing Concubine Liang's question, Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "Concubine Mother, didn't you see it?"

Concubine Liang didn't react, and asked in a daze, "What did you see?"

"Throughout history, the longest dynasty lasted for more than 300 years, never more than 400 years." Seeing that Concubine Liang didn't find out, Zhao Yao showed a very surprised look on his face, "These 300 years are a cycle, no matter which dynasty it is It can’t jump over 300 years, how could Da Zhou jump out of this cycle?”

After hearing this, Concubine Liang took back the letter from Zhao Yao, looked at it carefully again, and found that the third uncle had listed all the dynasties from ancient times to the present. She could figure it out, but she didn't notice it just now.

"It really is."

"The previous dynasty will also be 300 years old, and most of the other dynasties have not exceeded 300 years." From now on, there are not many dynasties that are more than [-] years old.

"The fact that other dynasties have not exceeded 400 years does not mean that the Great Zhou will not." Concubine Liang asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure that the Great Zhou will not?"

Zhao Yao asked back: "Mother, do you think the Great Zhou can last for more than 400 years, or even longer?"

"I don't think it's impossible." Concubine Liang had great confidence in the emperor.

Zhao Yao took a deep look at Concubine Liang, and asked with a strange expression: "Mother, do you really think so?"

Seeing her son's unbelievable expression, Concubine Liang didn't understand why his son had such an expression.

"Yeah, I really think so."

Zhao Yao looked at Concubine Liang in surprise: "Mother Concubine, you really think so."

Concubine Liang looked confused: "Can't I think so?"

"Mother and concubine, who gave you the confidence to make you think that Da Zhou can surpass all previous dynasties?" Zhao Yao asked in a strange tone, "Father the emperor?"

Liang Bin felt that her son was laughing at her, although she had no proof.She glared at Zhao Yao and said, "Yes, the confidence given by your father."

Zhao Yao muttered in a low voice: "Concubine Mother, you really like Emperor Father."

Concubine Liang didn't hear Zhao Yao's words clearly, and raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What did you just say?"

Zhao Yao didn't answer Concubine Liang's question, but said: "If the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to last for 400 years, unless every generation of emperors is as capable as the father, and each generation of emperors has to live long. Mother, you will not Do you think that with only three or four emperors like Father Emperor, Da Zhou can be maintained for 400 years?"

He said again: "Mother, you should have heard the saying that you can't be rich for three generations, right? Even if you're rich for three generations, it's hard to be rich for six generations. Don't you realize that every dynasty has a peaceful and prosperous age, and after the prosperous age, It started to decline."

Then he said: "When the water is full, it will overflow, mother and concubine."

Liang Concubine opened her mouth slightly after hearing Zhao Yao's words.

"Concubine Mu, more than 300 years is a cycle, and no dynasty can jump out of this cycle, and Da Zhou is no exception."

"Why is that?" Concubine Liang had read many history books, but she had never discovered this.

"This is the purpose of the third uncle's letter to me." Zhao Yao looked at Concubine Liang, and seeing her puzzled expression, he sighed softly, "Concubine Mu, you have read more history books than me. You didn't, really..."

Concubine Liang glared at her son again, and asked angrily, "What should I find out?"

"Mother Concubine, why do you think each dynasty started off very well, and there was a period of peace and prosperity in the middle, but after the prosperity, it began to decline, and the decline was very fast?"

Liang Bin said: "Didn't you just say that when the water is full, it will overflow?"

"In the former dynasty and the Chen dynasty, after the prosperity, it began to decline, but it did not completely decline, because there appeared a master of ZTE, who made the dynasty last for decades, or hundreds of years, but finally perished. Why is this?"

Concubine Liang's first reaction was that the emperor behind the Lord of ZTE had no talent.She felt that was unlikely to be the reason.She thought about it seriously and said: "At that time, there were more and more problems in the imperial court, and the last emperor couldn't solve them."

"Concubine Mu, you've only seen the surface."

"On the surface, what's the real reason?" Liang Zhaoyi had just finished speaking when she thought of a reason, "Aristocratic family?"

"The aristocratic family is the superficial reason."

"What, the aristocratic family is the reason on the surface?" Concubine Liang asked in amazement, "What is the real reason?"

"The real reason is the land." Zhao Yao didn't know what to think of, and his expression became a little subtle, "Mother Concubine, you must not be pregnant, right?" You're so stupid, you can't be pregnant.

"No." Concubine Liang didn't understand why her son said she was pregnant?
"No, why did you become so stupid all of a sudden?" Zhao Yao asked suspiciously, "Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to feel your pulse..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Concubine Liang flicked his forehead with his fingers.

"You're getting bolder and bolder, you dare to make fun of your concubine mother."

"I didn't make fun of it. I'm telling the truth. Concubine Mu, you've just become stupid."

"Okay, my concubine has become stupid, so tell me why it is land?" Concubine Liang asked shamelessly.

"To be precise, it is a problem of people and land, and this problem has existed since ancient times. Why do the kings of every dynasty suppress and weaken the family?"

"The family has power in their hands."

"No, the most important reason is because the aristocratic family has a lot of land." Zhao Yao said seriously, "The aristocratic family can stand for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, because they have land, and the land is their last. retreat."

Liang Zhaoyi still didn't quite understand.Because she lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, she would not have suffered if it hadn't been for the riots in the previous dynasty.The most important thing is that the Liang family has a lot of land.

"The aristocratic families are occupying more and more land, but the land allocated to the common people is less and less, or even none. If the common people have no land, it means that they have no food to eat." Zhao Yao continued, "There is no food in a day or two. It’s okay to eat, but if there is no food for ten or twenty years, the people will revolt.”

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Zhaoyi realized that it was true.

"I see."

"Grandpa Huang and Father Huang have snatched a lot of land from the aristocratic families, but the aristocratic families still have a lot of land in their hands." Zhao Yao said with a wrinkled face, "To be honest, the land controlled by the royal family has not been controlled by the aristocratic families. There are many."

"I'm ignorant, I've never thought about it." Concubine Liang was educated, and she hurriedly asked, "How did you find out?"

"I read the history books." Zhao Yao felt that Concubine Liang's question was a bit stupid, of course he would not dislike it, after all, it was his concubine mother, "Concubine mother, what do you read in the history books, only look at each dynasty Is it the story of the ups and downs of the world?" The concubine mother has more history than him, but it is really surprising that the concubine mother only understands the superficial history.

"There are still people, but I haven't discovered the land issue behind the history." Concubine Liang suddenly felt that she had read the history books for nothing, "I'm stupid."

"Grandpa Huang and Father Huang encourage the digging of wasteland just to let the common people have land, but they only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Zhao Yao said with a slightly sullen face, "It's very difficult to let the aristocratic families obediently spit out all the land. , unless the family is directly destroyed."

"The aristocratic families in Yangzhou were eradicated by my father, but the aristocratic families in the capital are not so easy to get rid of." Zhao Yao added, "The aristocratic families in the capital have existed for thousands of years."

"If Dazhou wants to jump out of the cycle of more than 300 years, then all the land in the world must be in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court must be clear and considerate for the people. However, it is impossible for every generation of emperors to be clear."

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhaoyi finally understood what Zhao Yao meant.

"In this way, each dynasty does not exceed 400 years."

"Land is the most important reason, but there are other important reasons."

"Any other reason?"

"Concubine Mu, think for yourself." Zhao Yao thought for a while, and then said, "Concubine Mu, let the imperial doctor show you tomorrow..."

Concubine Liang slapped Zhao Yao's small head with a book, "Concubine Mother, don't become angry from embarrassment."

Concubine Liang scolded angrily: "You brat..."

"Mother, you have become stupid..."

Zhao Yao did not escape, but was caught by Concubine Liang in the end, and was spanked by Concubine Liang on her legs.Of course, she was not willing to hit hard.

After playing around for a while, the mother and son continued to read their own books.

Concubine Liang picked up the history books to read again, while Zhao Yao was replying to the third uncle.

After Zhao Yao finished writing the letter, he planned to send Tong Xi out of the palace tomorrow to deliver to his second uncle.

Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Liang reminded Zhao Yao to go back to the room to sleep.

Before Zhao Yao left, he once again told Concubine Liang to call the imperial doctor for a pulse tomorrow.

Concubine Liang laughed angrily: "This brat..."

Gui Xing came over and said with a smile: "Madam, why don't you ask the imperial physician to take your pulse tomorrow?"

Concubine Liang poked Gui Xing's forehead with her hand, and said with a smile, "You're making fun of me too."

"Maybe you are really happy, Madam?"

Concubine Liang shook her head and said, "No, I know my own body, and if there is real happiness, I will definitely know." She added, "It is impossible for me to have another child in my life."

When Gui Xing heard what Concubine Liang said, her eyes were full of distress: "Your Majesty, don't think so, maybe you will give birth to a younger brother for Your Highness in the future."

"I'm not sad." Concubine Liang had long since dismissed the fact that she could no longer conceive, "Fortunately, Yaoyao has two good brothers, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince."

"My lady..."

"Am I getting old, or how could I suddenly become stupid?" Concubine Liang sighed when she thought of the white hair on her head, "It seems that I am really old." For 400 years, the real reason for the decline of each dynasty has not been found.If Yaoyao hadn't told her this tonight, I'm afraid she wouldn't have found out in her whole life.

"Your Majesty, you haven't aged or become stupid, but Your Highness is too smart." Gui Xing exclaimed, "Your Highness is really too smart, fortunately Your Highness has been pretending to be stupid."

"Yaoyao is not only smart, but also very careful." Liang Bin said, "The most important thing is that he is very sensitive." She didn't see the real problem behind the history, but Yaoyao had already noticed it.This child... as the emperor said, this child Yaoyao was born to be an emperor.

　I continue to ask for leave today, but I still get stuck, and I am not satisfied with the content I wrote.

　　Because I see that there are few veterans who leave messages, so I didn't create a group.Also, I'm afraid that if I build a group, the veterans will not talk in the group.

　　Let me ask here, do veterans want to join the group?

　　In fact, I want to hear the views of veterans.Now in Cavin, maybe the veterans can have some good ideas.

　　Finally, ask for a monthly ticket!
