A Timely Wife

Xiong Ruofeng was shaken all over by this look, he was a little confused so he glanced back, he didn't understand why Li Ruosong looked at him like this, Chengdong who was amused by Xiong Ruofeng's cautious little eyes patted Li Ruosong To tell him not to always pick up soft persimmons, Li Ruosong took advantage of the situation and grabbed Chengdong's hand. Chengdong pulled back a few times but failed to pull it back. He rolled his eyes at Li Ruosong angrily, and simply gave up resisting. Anyway, even if he resisted, he would not be able to resist Li Ruosong's strength. On the contrary, he would attract attention because his movements were too big, so he might as well just let Li Ruosong hold it honestly.

Li Ruosong gave a low laugh, cleared his throat again, and said, "Actually, Ruoshan is often influenced by the thoughts of me and your brother-in-law, thinking that the emperor will be less important to Da Chu in the future. It will even gradually become a symbol, but, I want to say, it is hard for us to say what the future will be like. Maybe the emperor will only be a symbol of our Great Chu in the future, and maybe the emperor will still have the supreme status in the future. It depends on our great Chu. But no matter what the future holds, the most important thing is to do well in the present.”

Chengdong really likes the way Li Ruosong talks to the two little guys, especially at this time, Li Ruosong's tone is stern, but his eyes are very gentle. It can be seen that he is really planning for the two children, it is true I hope the two children are well. Chengdong appreciates Li Ruosong's sincerity.

Xiong Ruoshan listened very carefully, and also reflected on what he did not do well. His brother was right, but he was still guilty. He felt that his ability was not enough to sit in that position, especially when he started to deal with it. After all the government affairs were not going well, it can be said that Xiong Ruoshan was as confident as he was at the beginning, but now Xiong Ruoshan is as unconfident as he is now.

This is what Li Ruosong wanted. In fact, Xiong Ruoshan had never experienced any setbacks. When he was young, his family protected him very well. When he grew up, Nanchu had been established. Such a smooth life was not for Xiong Ruoshan. Good things, for a person who will be in charge of a country in the future, it may become a disaster. Instead of waiting until then to cause a big problem, it is better to expose all the problems now, and there is time to find a solution. It's better to regret when things are irreversible.

"Brother, how do you think I should solve this situation now? They have made it clear that they don't cooperate or resist. Whatever I say, they either just listen and don't speak, or tell me that I can't do what I want, and then they will Give me a lot of reasons, I really don't know how to deal with it, I always feel that these people are relying on their status to have nothing to fear." Xiong Ruoshan said with some annoyance.

Hearing this, Li Ruosong nodded and said: "They are indeed threatening you by relying on their status. This situation will only increase in the future, not less and less. Now they are using me as an excuse to suppress you. In the future, they will I will use you as an excuse to suppress Ruofeng, Ruoshan, put yourself in another place, what do you think you should do at that time?"

Xiong Ruoshan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then hesitantly said: "If it were me, I wouldn't leave everything to Ruofeng at once, but take him and hand it over to Ruofeng little by little."

Li Ruosong nodded secretly, and continued to ask: "Then how do you want to hand over slowly? First hand over the military power or first hand over the political power?

Xiong Ruoshan was stunned for a moment, and then began to think again. This time, Xiong Ruoshan thought for a long time without saying a word. Li Ruosong saw Xiong Ruoshan's tangled and wrinkled face, and smiled unconsciously. Cheng Dong twisted his arm , I haven't seen the child become so distressed, it's okay for you as an elder brother not to enlighten, but you are still gloating, it's really unreliable.

Li Ruosong trembled in pain, and said: "After thinking about it for so long, you haven't spoken easily, which means that Ruoshan is really stuck, and you are also thinking about which one should be handed over first. In fact, this matter depends on the situation. If the relationship between the incumbent and his successor is not good, then the political power must be handed over first, and then the military power, and if the relationship is very good, the political power and military power can be handed over together, do you know why?"

Xiong Ruoshan has always been smart, and Li Ruosong thought about what he had been thinking about before, and he immediately thought it through. He said: "I know that if the relationship is not good, the military power will also be handed over, and it will inevitably be liquidated by the successor. It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the Tian family. Even if we have established a sequential inheritance law for future generations, we dare not say that future generations will definitely follow this. Then, in case there are a few incompetent ones, father and son or brothers In order to fight each other, handing over the power first, and then handing over the military power can ensure that they will not be liquidated immediately and achieve a smooth transition. After all, without an army in hand, it is very difficult to do anything.

Moreover, once the emperor and the courtiers, the higher-ranking people in the back will definitely take the people in the front. If there is nothing left, go home and farm. Therefore, not handing over the military power is also to intimidate the successor. If you want to change people, you can, but you still have to be careful not to overthrow all the former officials. .

There should be another factor in this. Even if all the power is handed over, there is no military power in hand. It is estimated that it is impossible to make these civil servants obedient. Things, one's own and those of one's own people, after all, the successor will live longer than himself, and I want to see everything in the future. In order to get the military power as soon as possible, the successor will leave some leeway for the incumbent, and will not take people directly. To the death, if he is really cornered, it is possible to mobilize the army to destroy him.

However, brother, I think that if there is a conflict at that time, no matter how we do it, there will still be problems, so I think we should make a rule. Regarding the rules of the royal family, if there are really unworthy descendants doing something for this position , The Xiong family absolutely cannot tolerate him. "

Li Ruosong was a little shocked in his heart. He knew that Xiong Ruoshan was very smart, but he didn't expect Xiong Ruoshan to be so smart. With just a little bit of poking around, he thought clearly about these things. This child is even more intelligent than he imagined. sharp.

No matter how shocked he was in his heart, Li Ruosong's face was indifferent. He nodded and said, "That's right, Ruoshan has worked hard these days, but it's remarkable to be able to figure out these joints. Ruofeng, You will take over the burden of Da Chu from your brother in the future, how do you think you want your brother to take you?"

Xiong Ruofeng half-understood, he subconsciously looked at Xiong Ruoshan, seeing Xiong Ruoshan looking at him encouragingly, the little guy took a deep breath and said: "I hope that my brother can take over after I completely take over. Going to do what I want to do again, I know that I am not as good as my elder brother in everything, and my elder brother can teach me more, which is what I wish for, and if I really want to take over all the things at once, I will definitely not be able to bear it."

After the little guy finished speaking, he looked at Li Ruosong pitifully. He had not had little contact with Li Ruosong. This elder brother was always very strict with the two brothers, not only Ruoshan Ruofeng, but also Li Cheng and Cheng Li. The two brothers, Li Ruosong is also very strict, so the little guys are actually quite afraid of him, worried that their answer is wrong, Xiong Ruofeng's first reaction is to pretend to be pitiful, hoping that his miserable little face that shows weakness can make him feel better. Brother, let yourself go.

Of course, Xiong Ruofeng's careful thinking couldn't be hidden from Li Ruosong. He stretched out two fingers and flicked Xiong Ruofeng's forehead. Just now he pretended to be pitiful, but now he is really pitiful. Xiong Ruofeng covered his head with both hands, watching with tears in his eyes Looking at Li Ruosong, his eyes were full of accusations, with an expression of how could you blow my head off.

Chengdong pulled Xiong Ruofeng into his arms, pulled the little guy's hands away and looked at them, his forehead was red, and he said angrily: "You don't know what hand strength you have? How old is the child? Just flick someone's forehead like this, what if I flick stupidly?"

Li Ruosong touched his nose and said, "How do I know this kid's skin is so tender, I just controlled the strength of his hands, I didn't, cough cough cough."

Li Ruosong silently swallowed the rest of the words in Chengdong's accusing eyes. He knew that the older Chengdong was, the softer he was towards children. He didn't see that kid Xiong Ruofeng pretending to be pitiful, but in fact his eyes were full of tears. Complacent, Li Ruosong always felt like throwing a stone at his own foot when Chengdong snuggled into Chengdong's arms when Chengdong was distressed to blow his forehead.

"Ruofeng is right. A longer handover time is good for the successor. First of all, the policies of the previous imperial court can continue to be implemented, and the successor can also have enough time to understand the reasons for formulating these policies. The reason is that the handover of power will be relatively smooth. Moreover, such a teaching is conducive to cultivating feelings, and it can play a role to some extent. However, the longer the time, the better. If the time is too long, succession It is impossible for the readers to have no ideas in their hearts, how to grasp this speed is a question for you to consider." Li Ruosong said.

After Xiong Ruoshan listened, he looked at Li Ruosong thoughtfully. When Li Ruosong thought that Xiong Ruoshan had figured it out, he heard Xiong Ruoshan complain to Chengdong: "Brother, look at my brother, let's talk about it." It's a set routine, and I can't do it myself, he just threw everything to me, and he did it on purpose, bro, get rid of him quickly."

The blue veins on Li Ruosong's forehead seemed to be protruding. He grinned grinningly, stretched out his hand to pinch Xiong Ruoshan's collar, and said with a gentle voice and a ferocious expression: "What did you just say? It's so windy. I didn't hear you. Say it again." Let me listen to it again, how about it?"

Xiong Ruoshan is very knowledgeable about current affairs, he said doglegly: "I just said that brother, you are the most powerful and capable man I have ever met, bar none."

Li Ruosong: "..."

He was speechless.
