Chapter 106 Ideas
At night, the imperial boat berthed at the wharf had "put down" the long piles on the boats on both sides, penetrated directly into the bottom of the river, and switched to the "mode" of the water house, without moving at all, and not affected by the rippling water of the river.
Not only did the imperial boats that the emperor rode, but most of the other accompanying boats were like this. Ships one by one "stand" in the river, forming a large-scale water palace. Because it was brightly lit, it looked spectacular from a distance.
There is no moon tonight, and there are stars (Milky Way) that run across the sky. The stars in the sky blend with the ignition lights reflected in the water, making it difficult for a moment to distinguish the difference between heaven and earth.
In the imperial boat, the "master bedroom" on the second floor, the skylight on the top is wide open, Yuwen Wen lying on the couch on his back, admires the stars above, and looks at Yuchi Chifan sleeping beside him.
Looking at the naked beauty under Bo Quilt, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
As soon as this thought came out, desire rekindled. Seeing the dark night, Yuwen Wen finally suppressed the restlessness in his body. Looking at his sleeping partner, he sighed that the spring night was short.
After twenty years of mutual support, the relationship between husband and wife is still sweet. With such a beloved life, he will never have any regrets.
In the "Starry Sky Room", it was a trick that Yu Wen Wen thought of. The effect was of course good, but Yu Wen Wen, who should have been sleeping with all his heart, became more and more active at this time and could not sleep.
After a conversation during the day, Yuwen Wen knew that Yuchi Chifan would get the answers, so he clicked on the pros and cons of the recruitment system and the recruitment system and did not reveal anything further.
Yuwen Wen hopes that his son can think about this question carefully and draw conclusions by himself instead of "copying the answers".
No matter how wise and powerful he is, he will eventually grow old. No matter how long he lives, he will always die. So when the country is handed over to his son, he hopes that his efforts will not be defeated so quickly.
Therefore, he must teach his son some experiences so that he can establish a correct "three views" so as not to be fooled by someone in the future, and to "sell his son to the land without any pain."
However, Yuwen Wen realized one thing helplessly, that is, even if he made various arrangements, his son would answer questions very well, but when he died, his son might not follow the "yes".
Of course, examples include Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yunwen, the founding grandson of the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson Zhu Yunwen had a conversation about the issue of vassalism. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know how Zhu Yunwen would deal with his relationship with his uncle and cousins after his death.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that the reason why he granted so many kings in the border areas and ordered them to train soldiers and generals was to prepare for the kings to resist foreign enemies in case the border was unstable, so that the kings could resist national security.
Grandson Zhu Yunwen expressed his concern, that is, he could rely on the royal family to resist foreign enemies. So what should the kings do if they rebel?
Regarding this question, Zhu Yuanzhang silently asked his grandson what to do.
Zhu Yunwen's answer was "Welcome to him with virtue and to control him with etiquette. If not, the land will be cut off, and if not, the person will be changed, and if not, the person will be arrested, the person will be arrested."
It sounds very reasonable, and Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his grandson knew what to do, so he felt relieved.
However, what Zhu Yunwen did later was a different story.
So Yuwen Wen always wonders, if he keeps setting questions to test his son, if his son can hand over the answers that satisfy him, will he be able to rest assured?
He hopes that this is the case, and hopes that his son will inherit the throne in the future and continue to implement his policies, so that the Central Plains can embark on a road of rapid "evolution" and break through the bottleneck that could not be broken through in history.
But this is likely to be wishful thinking. Young people have the idea of young people and will not govern according to the "old man"'s "stale thinking".
When Yuwen Wen couldn't sleep or eat when he thought that his hard work might have cut off his inheritance, he couldn't tell his son all the words in his heart.
He could not say that he came from another era, that he could not say “dynasty law”, that “capitalism replaces feudalism” is a historical necessity.
Now, the son may speak according to his wishes and say nice things. When the old man is bored and he will do something else, he will do the world by himself.
In this way, everything will return to the position. In this era, the Zhou Kingdom will re-enter the old path of the Li Tang Dynasty, and there may not be an empress, but the military system of the palace is corrupt and the recruitment system is popular, and gradually there will be warlords with great strength.
A large-scale rebellion similar to the Anshi Rebellion is likely to occur.
Whenever Yuwen thought about this, he felt very confused. He really "wanted to live another five hundred years", but this was impossible.
It is ridiculous to establish the "ancestral teachings" and ask his son to write a guarantee letter. Yuwen Wen will not place his hopes on his son alone, so he decided to make arrangements in advance so that someone can continue to promote his ambitions after his death.
This "person" is not a few people with names and surnames, but an interest group formed by many people.
New Interest Group.
Yuwen Wen wanted to support the new interest group, make the new interest group the "taker" of his ambitions, and unswervingly promote his grand plans.
So what is his ambition and grand strategy?
Begin the era of great navigation, explore overseas colonies, and gain more living space for the people of the Central Plains.
He wanted to plant the seedlings of capitalism, and then after several generations of efforts, he made the seedling grow into a towering tree, injecting strong impetus into the external expansion of the Central Plains, and making the regrets that were once no longer regrets.
Let a "Empire that does not set" appear thousands of years ahead of schedule.
He could not see these dreams in his lifetime, but he hoped that his descendants could realize them, so his hope could only be placed on new interest groups.
Such interest groups hope to obtain more raw material production and more markets, so they will inevitably support maritime trade and external expansion.
Such interest groups hope that their low social status will change, they will have political rights, and the core of power will have spokespersons to speak for them, so they will inevitably support the imperial examination so that their children or "sponsors" can enter the government in large quantities and gain power.
Such interest groups make profits through business operations and hope to hire (explore) a large number of workers, so they hate the landlords who imprison a large number of laborers and hope that the estate economy will go bankrupt.
Economic and political demands have made such interest groups the mortal enemy of aristocratic families.
Such an interest group has a "common language" with Yu Wen Wen and agrees with his ideals, so it has an indelible determination to inherit and carry forward his "last wishes".
But such an interest group will likely become a fat sheep after his death, and everything will return to its original trajectory.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing, Yuwen Wen took a very risky approach, that is, to arm this interest group.
What is happening in Liaodong is the initial result of this approach.
The new interest groups are armed, and the old interest groups are also armed. It is very likely that when he dies, the conflict between the two interest groups gradually becomes irreconcilable, and the civil war breaks out.
If the civil war really breaks out, Yuwen Wen certainly doesn't know what the outcome will be, but he really hopes that the new interest groups can win, and his children and grandchildren are the winners.
This idea sounds ridiculous, but Yuwen Wen came up with a way to achieve it.
