The Restoration of the Great Qin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1437 Documents Sent Together

Every violent political struggle is followed by political purges, and the most important thing in South Korea today is stability.

Only in this way can we gradually accumulate national strength and compete with the increasingly powerful and arrogant Qin King Yingfei.

Regarding this point, Han Gong and Yuan Shao knew it well, it's just that people are old, and their decisions are sometimes affected by emotions.

At this moment, Han Gong Yuan Shao is like this, his love for the youngest son makes his judgment lose the criterion.

……

"Liu Chang, you are also an old man who follows Gu. In your opinion, has Gu hesitated for too long about establishing a reserve?"

Facing Han Gong and Yuan Shao's eyes, Liu Chang was silent for a while, and then he said: "The Great Qin Empire had Huhai chaos because the First Emperor did not have a crown prince."

"Although the current situation in our country is slightly similar to that of the Great Qin Empire, the only difference is that the emperor is still alive."

Speaking of this, Liu Changren couldn't help continuing, saying: "As long as the emperor is here, even if there are many factions in Korea, and the three sons take over the heir, there will be no chaos."

"As long as Your Majesty makes a decision, it's not too late!"

……

Hearing this, Han Gong and Yuan Shao's eyes flashed a hint of understanding. He knew in his heart that what Liu Chang said was right, and he was the only speaker in Korea.

Thinking of this, Han Gong and Yuan Shao couldn't help but turned to Liu Chang and said, "Liu Chang, in your opinion, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, which one is more suitable to be the crown prince of South Korea?"

……

"boom!"

Hearing this, Liu Chang turned pale in shock, he never thought that Han Gong and Yuan Shao would actually ask him this question, thoughts flickered in his mind, and he hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a crown prince is a major issue in Korea. It should be decided by the three princes and nine ministers and the emperor. The old ministers have low intelligence and dare not speak lightly."

Seeing the fearful Liu Chang, Han Gong and Yuan Shao smiled, and then the smile subsided, and said: "I forgive you for your innocence. Today, I am alone here with you. Whatever you think in your heart, just say it."

"Out of your mouth, in in the orphan's ear, in this world, no one else will know."

……

Facing Han Gong Yuan Shao's fierce gaze, Liu Chang knew in his heart that he would not be able to escape this time, thoughts flickered in his mind, he pondered for a moment, and said.

"Your Majesty, it is mainly to establish a concubine, establish a leader, establish a virtuous, and establish love. The first two are born, and the latter two are made."

"For a country, the smooth operation of the court is the most important thing, far more important than a monarch's personal ability."

"Once a succession struggle is provoked, the continuity of the entire administrative operation will inevitably be destroyed, leading to a series of internal frictions, which will cause the fortress to collapse from within."

"The eldest son system is the most effective system to solve this problem. Once the method of determining the status is established from the very beginning, this kind of internal friction will be stopped from the legal point of view, so that the princes can do their own things, even though the monarch may not be the individual. The best one is the one with the greatest joint efforts of the whole country.”

"This is the fundamental reason why the Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years!"

……

Speaking of this, Liu Chang couldn't help sighing, and said: "Although the eldest son has made great achievements in battle, he has a bit of a rebellious personality. Once he succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that you will be in trouble."

……

Liu Chang has been following Duke Han and Yuan Shao, so he naturally knows what Duke Han and Yuan Shao have in mind, and he knows that Yuan Shao likes Yuan Shang.

Moreover, the eldest son, Yuan Tan, and the second son, Yuan Xi, were released as officials, and they didn't have much friendship with him. Naturally, Liu Chang was partial to the third son, Yuan Shang.

It's just that Liu Chang is a smart person. He knows in his heart that although Han Gong and Yuan Shao like to ask when he hesitates in his heart, it doesn't mean that he will agree.

As a servant, Liu Chang is very clear about his status, if Han Gong Yuan Shao didn't force him to speak today, even if he was partial to the third son Yuan Shang in his heart, he would never say so.

He knew in his heart that when a country's system was stable, the emperor's virtuous and foolish gains and losses could only partially affect the development of a country, rather than determine it at all.

In this case, as long as the positive impact of abolishing the elders and establishing the young can be greater than the disadvantages brought to the country, then abolishing the elders and establishing the young is feasible, and it is an excellent system for selecting heirs.

Liu Chang knew in his heart that throughout the dynasties, in many cases, the disadvantages of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones far outweighed the positive effects.

……

Yuan Shao, the Duke of Han who came from a political family, sees farther than Liu Chang on this point. He knows in his heart that in governing the world, the positive effect of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger is minimal.

However, in troubled times, abolishing the old and establishing the young has great positive effects, but the disadvantages are greater and more prominent, and there is still a great possibility of misjudgment.

That's why there is a saying that abolishing the old and establishing the young has been the way to create chaos since ancient times.

……

For a powerful centralized empire, the greatest threat comes from the succession of autocratic power, and the process of succession is often full of blood and killings.

In order to reduce bloodshed and killings, there must be a complete legal system to determine the successor.

It is precisely because of this that the eldest son inheritance system came into being. Yuan Shao thought flickeringly, he took a deep look at Liu Chang, and said.

"Go and bring the third son to Daming Palace!"

"promise."

……

Nodding in agreement, Liu Chang turned around and walked out. He knew in his heart that the conversation just now had a great influence on Duke Han and Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not have wanted to see the third son Yuan Shang at this time.

Judging from Han Gong Yuan Shao's reaction, Liu Chang knew that his judgment was correct. In Yuan Shao's eyes, the person he most wanted to inherit was Yuan Shang.

……

"My son has seen the emperor's father!"

After a while, Yuan Shang came to Daming Palace. Because of Han Gong Yuan Shao's love for Yuan Shang, there was no strangeness or estrangement between father and son.

Looking at Yuan Shang who looked quite like him, Han Gong Yuan Shao's eyes flashed a look of joy, he smiled slightly, and said.

"Xianfu, don't be too polite, get up!"

"promise."

Standing in the Daming Palace, Yuan Shang, standing in the grand palace, made Han Gong and Yuan Shao seem to see his former self in an instant, with the same youthful vigor and the same scholarly spirit.

This sense made Yuan Shao feel a little more biased towards Yuan Shang in his heart.

"Xianfu, how's your reading going?"

At the beginning, Han Gong and Yuan Shao left Yuan Shang not only because of his young age, but also because he wanted to spend a lot of money to train Yuan Shang.

It can be said that Duke Han and Yuan Shao had great expectations for Yuan Shangbao. This expectation, even if the eldest son Yuan Tan and the second son Yuan Xi were combined together, it was far from enough.

Hearing this, Yuan Shang's heart moved, Liu Chang had already told everything on the way here just now, after thinking about it, he hurriedly said to Han Gong and Yuan Shao.

"Father, sir, I am teaching Zhou Yi and Sun Tzu's art of war, and my son and minister have gained a little."

　A good friend of mine came to play the day before yesterday. Yesterday and today I needed company. There were only two shifts. I left in the afternoon. I will continue with the third shift tomorrow.
