Xiang Ying was stunned, he did not expect that the future of that brat to be so dark. Everyone said that the emperor was good, but when the prime minister placed all of the bad blood that the emperor had to face on the stage, one after another.
It was only then that people truly understood why so many kings had died, and why the most heartless of all were the imperial families!
This kind of environment was simply not allowing good people to live! People don't look for trouble with you, you don't provoke anyone to provoke you, and in the machine of power, there is no piece of meat left intact.
"Prince Kung Yi wants to rebel? Why, if he was going to rebel, why did he not rebel in the Sin-uni coup d'état? What's the point of rebelling now? "
"Looks like I really have to give you some basic Emperor's Heart Technique!" "You've been deceived by the appearance of things too deeply and too deeply …" Xiao Letian lit up a cigarette and gave it to Xiang Ying.
"To overcome the confusion in your heart, you have to understand what power is and what title is! These two things are united at times, but at times, they are separated! "
"The person with the greatest reputation may not necessarily have the greatest power. For example, Cao Cao is only the prime minister, but he has the power to surpass the emperor. As the emperor, he has no power to affect the political situation …"
"Why did Cao Cao not usurp the throne until he died? This was his cleverness. A man who sought truth without seeking falsehood was a truly intelligent person. The authority of the entire country was already in his hands. Why was he asking for that title? "There's no need …"
"In the history of mankind, there were only one or two people who were able to gather their titles and power within their own hands. In fact, most of the remaining emperors were divided, and some even had their power taken over!"
For example, you can say that in the Tang Dynasty, the only emperors who can combine power and reputation are Li Shimin and Li Longji. The rest of the emperors have to split their power and rule the world together with other political groups, and the late Tang emperors are in an even worse situation.
"Looking back at the Great Qing, the three dynasties of Kang Yong were the most concentrated, but not as concentrated as they were before. The Eight Flag Government wandered in the sky above the government like a ghost, and from time to time, there would be a wave of counter-attack brewing …"
"After the death of the dryad, the authority of the Emperor gradually weakened and local powers began to rise day by day. Until when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rose up, they directly formed a new and rising power group. That is the local daoyin!"
"The current daoyin of the Great Qing Dynasty can already be considered the uncrowned king. I can foresee that even until the end of the Great Qing, the central government would not dare to kill a single daoyin. Why? Because the power has already been divided, and it's impossible for them to take it back! "
"Zai Chun doesn't understand this logic, or it could be said that he is pretending to be ignorant, his emotions are forcing him to not admit this! When Zai Chun enters the stage, he will definitely take back all the authority he had. Because if he does not take back all the authority, the reforms in the deeper levels will not be carried out! "
"But is power really that easy to take? It's not easy to harvest … Why didn't they rebel? Because there's no need for it, he had already obtained a huge piece of political cake through the coup. Furthermore, he was very clear that the emperor Zai Chun would be blown away in his entire life, so the emperor was actually just a puppet! "
"Offending the entire world for the sake of the title of emperor? I'm not that stupid. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Those of them who have divided their power simply do not wish for a Sacred Master to step on stage. It would be in their best interests to have a puppet! "
"Pragmatically and not feebly! This bunch of old foxes really know a lot about politics! "
"Hiss …" Xiang Ying took in a deep breath of smoke, letting the pungent smoke hang in the air above his chest, "No wonder! Now that Zai Chun had become more and more powerful, Yi Nan and the rest became more and more uneasy! I had originally thought that it was just a child who was easy to control, but no one expected Master to actually bring Zai Chun out … "
"You have set your heart at ease for the little Emperor, with the ambition to build a steam engine with a hundred thousand horsepower. That's why those people are afraid! They realized that their plan has already deviated from their path, so they decided to prepare for a rainy day and kill their king! "
"That's right! "The one who wants to kill the Emperor is not just Yi. It's actually a very powerful force. A force that took decades to strip away power from the Emperor …"
"The power concentration of Kang Yong's three dynasties was too great. At that time, the emperor's words could really decide the life and death of everyone. Even the prince didn't have the power to pardon them. They could just kill them if they wanted to!" Let alone those daoyin s … "
"And now? The local daoyin had money and troops, and gradually, all the mountains were raised, but the imperial government did not dare to kill a single person! This kind of imperial court is what the subjects like. Who would be willing to live in such a precarious situation? "
"Corruption costs several hundred thousand taels of silver to behead?" After drinking a few words of unintentional great disrespect can enthrall the prison! Who would be willing to live that kind of life where one died? "
"That's why, in the hearts of the entire bureaucracy, the weak Emperors are the ones who are in their best interests!"
"Zai Chun was only five when he ascended the throne, what can such a young child do? In accordance with the tradition of an emperor getting married at the age of 16, he would only be a child later on. Thus, he would be able to control it … "The person who is really a threat to these officials should be over 20 years old …"
"But at that time, Yi Yuan's group had been working hard for 15 years. The power they had built up over the past 15 years was so huge that no one could touch them!"
"Ai …" Zai Chun's fate in the future would be two different ways. One was to die as a puppet! The other was to put up a resistance and let that huge power secretly kill him! This poor child! He will not be able to escape this fate! "
The topic of discussion fell silent. When Xiang Ying thought about that stinky brat's miserable life in the future, he could not help but calm down a little. Most people would feel pity for him when they see him in a miserable state, or when they say that he was about to suffer in a miserable state.
Right now, there was only a faint red line left in the western horizon. The captives of the Russia on the sea had basically finished loading the ships and were shipping them towards the island of De.
Even further in the Amami Oshima, the light from the torches drew a long line in the mountains. Luo Huo's army was besieging the enemy, and the long line of fire looked exactly like the front lines of the troops.
Halfway up the mountain, the sealing line of the Chinese Army was slowly closing up, and the ferocious beast was already locked in its cage.
"Because Zai Chun is very miserable! So, Master, do you want to help him? Help him tide through this crisis, and bring a strong Monarch to the Great Qing? Is that what you want? "
