Neighbors with powerful ministers

Fang Chaoci was still waiting for Xie Jie to continue asking, but Xie Jie had no more questions.After all, he really can't help with this kind of thing, and not being confused is the greatest contribution he can make.

Xie Jie assured Fang Chaoci that he would honestly stay at home to "recover from his illness" until all the dust settled.

Regarding this point, Fang Chaoci is still very relieved Xie Jie, as long as he explains to Xie Jie that there are dangers outside recently and it is not suitable to go out, then Xie Jie will definitely not commit suicide, he does not have that just to satisfy some of his own desires Curiosity or longing for freedom will cost you your life or hurt other people's hobbies.

"Aren't you worried about what will happen after the Queen Mother ascends the throne?" Fang Chaoci asked without waiting for Xie Jie to ask.

"What could change?" Xie Jie looked at Fang Chaoci in confusion, his black and white eyes filled with sincere incomprehension.

"It's like the queen mother has too much power, and after she ascends the throne, she doesn't want to delegate power to the crown prince or anything." No wonder Fang Chaoci thought too much, under such circumstances, few people would not have doubts about it.Power is a dangerous and fascinating thing. Sometimes even people who are deeply involved in the vortex of power do not dare to completely believe in their own self-control ability.In front of the throne, there should not be too many historical lessons about fathers not fathers and sons not sons.

Xie Jie smiled, with a flash of confidence and pride: "This will definitely not appear in my house."

The overall atmosphere of Wen's is that contented people are always happy. It's not that they have no desires and desires. They also have things they like and want, but they are not so crazy and persistent, and there are very few people who pursue power excessively.

In addition to the deliberate control of the King of Thailand, this must also have something to do with the personality that the individual has developed since childhood.

If it weren't for the fact that the previous dynasty was so fucked up, Taizu and Taizong would probably have been old farmers all their lives, living a pastoral life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.Maybe in Renzong's generation, he will be more motivated, study the imperial examinations, and be a clear parent official, but that's all.Heroes make the times, and the times make heroes.

"But the Empress Dowager's surname is Nie." Fang Chaoci couldn't speak too harshly, so he could only make indirect remarks.

"So?" It's not that Xie Jie doesn't understand, he just thinks that what he doesn't understand is Fang Chaoci, "My surname is Xie, and my aunt's surname is Su. Is it important what surname is? The important thing is that we are a family. Okay, I made a mistake in expressing it just now, it is because the entire clan prefers contentment to those who are always happy, and it is not limited to surname or non-surname Wen."

There is a world around me, living in this family rabbit environment where everyone is more willing to enjoy life for a long time, even if I was a wolf before, it may be difficult to maintain that wolf nature later.

This kind of atmosphere is good or bad, or bad.

It all depends on what the individual thinks.

"Let's put it this way, when my uncle is the emperor, don't you have to worry about his excess desire for power?"

Although Shenzong did not have the same personality before he succeeded to the throne, who can guarantee that he will maintain such a personality after he succeeds to the throne?Who can guarantee that if he has been on the throne for ten or twenty years, it will not change?In fact, Shenzong is no longer the same as the one who had no sense of responsibility in the past and threw the gold leaf into the pond for nothing.

Before Emperor Wendi died, the Empress Dowager was still a miraculous figure who could cry and write a poem when she saw a leaf fall in autumn.

"My brother-in-law and my sister-in-law are both my family members," Xie Jie said in a serious tone to Fang Chao, "I only doubt my sister-in-law, but not my brother-in-law. What's the reason?"

Although the outside world has always said that Shenzong has no children, it only refers to the fact that there are no legitimate sons. It is said that Shenzong and Empress Su have no children, not that Shenzong and other concubines have no children.By the way, after Shenzong became emperor, these concubines were all just concubines, and none of them was conferred high positions. The fear was that they or the families behind them would have some unreasonable thoughts.

Shenzong always didn't care much about concubines and concubines, he felt that they would be taken care of by the clan in the future, so he didn't need to worry about them at all.

In a sense, Shenzong was not a good father, but this was the environment he grew up in. How his grandfather Taizu and father Taizong treated their bastards, Shenzong would treat his bastards the same way, that's all.

"In terms of threats, uncle may plan for his own children, while sister-in-law only has Nian'er and Mengmeng."

"After the empress dowager proclaims herself emperor, she can also open up the harem..." Fang Chaoci reminded again.Emperor Wu also had his own male favorite, but he was already very old after he ascended the throne, and no "human" lives were caused.

"So? Qin Shihuang's mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, is just a queen mother, so why not add a few half-brothers and sisters to Qin Shihuang?" It depends on whether a person wants to remarry and have children. What does this have to do with whether this person is a queen or a queen mother? relation?Because Queen Mother Nie is a woman, can she not remarry after being widowed?Why?There are not too many men who can't wait to welcome the newcomers in before their wives die. Why doesn't anyone talk about them?

Although Xie Jie didn't have much contact with Empress Dowager Nie, even because of the embarrassment that they had nothing to do with them, but were slightly involved, they still don't want to meet each other.But from the moment his cousin introduced him, "This is your cousin, the person I plan to spend the rest of my life with," the sister-in-law has already thanked the family she recognizes in her heart.

Xie Jie is also confident, his sister-in-law loves his brother, there is no reason, being loved by such an excellent cousin, how many people can resist and not respond?

Therefore, under the same prerequisites, Xie Jie really didn't understand why he doubted Queen Mother Nie.

Everyone has a family and children, and everyone may change because of power, so why not worry about Shenzong, but worry about Queen Mother Nie?Just because her surname is not Wen?When the sister-in-law married into the family back then, what did they do to her as a family?Usually a family is an outsider when it comes to interests?Plastic love?You can't be such a double standard.

Fang Chaoci looked at Xie Jie deeply, and took the trouble to describe Xie Jie's appearance in his heart.This person seemed to be able to surprise him again and again in a small place suddenly.It touched his heart, so soft and so sweet.

"Besides, aren't you and my mother still here?" Xie Jie looked at Fang Chaoci slyly. It's not that he is so worthless, and trust must be built on the strength of being able to withstand the other party's betrayal. "Even if my sister-in-law really becomes something we don't want to see in the future, are you and my mother vegetarian? You will definitely guarantee that Nian'er will become the next emperor, won't you? Then what do I have?" What are you worried about?"

What gave Xie Jie such confidence was his boundless confidence in his mother and Fang Chaoci.

Of course, it was also because Xie Jie managed to extract some information from Tianshi about the future successor Yingzong after the empress. The date of birth, name, and identity all corresponded to Nian'er alone.

If it is said that Xie Jie was somewhat suspicious of Empress Dowager Nie's feelings for Emperor Wen, then after learning that Yingzong was indeed Wen Yin, Xie Jie no longer had any thoughts.

"You must have prepared something to restrain sister-in-law, right?"

Although it seems a bit cold to say so, this is the style of the Eldest Princess.She made a lot of preparations when Shenzong ascended the throne. She had to confirm that the posthumous son of Empress Dowager Ruonie was a boy, and Shenzong was willing to give way to that child.Even his own younger brother, the eldest princess, is so careful, so it goes without saying that he is a nephew and daughter-in-law after a generation.

For the first time, Fang Chaoci discovered that he had nothing to add to Xie Jie. Xie Jie had really considered it very comprehensively, and even had emotional inferences that Fang Chaoci seldom touched on.

"We did make some preparations, and after obtaining the consent of the Queen Mother."

This idea was proposed by Fang Chaoci. As an alien who has seen various regimes, Fang Chaoci has seen similar history for the current situation, but it did not happen in Daqi, but in other places. countries and dynasties.

"When the official family abdicates, a decree will be issued to the King of Thailand to designate a successor from generation to generation, and the entire clan will supervise it."

It means that Empress Dowager Nie is only one generation, she can be the emperor, but there is no way to change her heir.Moreover, there will be an age limit for Nian'er to succeed in the will.

As for whether the law allows such an inheritance method...

How should I put it, Shenzong is now the one who makes the law, and he said that if there is one, it will naturally be there.Moreover, although Taizu was not so clear back then, he did similar things.

The time of Taizu's reign was very short, and the old wounds accumulated on the battlefield for many years finally dragged him down, the kind of doctor who ran out of fuel, no matter how skilled the doctor was, he could not recover.Before the death of Taizu, almost all the clan and important ministers were present. His last words to Taizong were to hope that Taizong would have a clearer mind and that Renzong must succeed him.

The subtext is not to give other people any delusions.Taizu's defense against the clan has really reached a morbid level.

Almost everyone in Daqi knows this story. After Taizong died, it was indeed Renzong who succeeded him.

Now that Shenzong wants to do something like this, it's not without precedent. It's just that it has changed from a fluffy last word to a real imperial decree with legal effect.

Taking ten thousand steps back, after Shenzong abdicated, he also resigned to become the Supreme Emperor, not the idle prince, he was able to contain the Empress Dowager Nie.

Not to mention that the eldest princess still has soldiers in her hands.As one of the longest-lived princesses, as long as the eldest princess is still alive, the royal family and clan cannot be chaotic.

Of course, for some reasons, the Eldest Princess will show a completely different attitude towards the Empress Dowager's ascension to the throne.Referred to as a red face and a bad face.

Xie Jie didn't know how he thought of it, and suddenly said to Fang Chaoci: "You and that Yan Sheng are not always playing this way, are you?!"

After Xie Jie got into trouble, Yan Sheng rushed to read his book before everyone else, leaving others with nothing to read.

Create a situation of false confrontation, so that it will be easy to hide in the future.Perhaps Yan Sheng and Fang Chaoci in history will be rivals for life, but only they know how much their secret cooperation has accomplished.

Fang Chaoci smiled and didn't answer clearly, but just bowed his head and kissed Xie Jie's forehead tenderly: "If you continue like this, I'm afraid I'll force you uncontrollably...to participate in the lock hall test gone."

The author has something to say: The eldest princess: ...what else can I say?Just be happy.
