...

In the study of Dazhong Prince's Mansion.

Sun Jing and Li Cunzheng analyzed the imperial power structure of the Jin Kingdom.

Li Cundao: "There is almost no boundary between the emperor and the ministers in the Jin Kingdom. It can be said that there is no system at all between the emperor and the noble ministers. The emperor and the noble ministers jointly govern the country and jointly control the national army. The unity of the top and bottom makes the Jin people invincible, but when governing the world, those nobles often do not consider the interests of the country, but only consider their own interests, because the country is not theirs, which will form a great constraint on the imperial power. Elbow, when the interests of the two parties are in conflict, those nobles will definitely resist the imperial power for their own interests, once or twice, the imperial power may be able to avoid it, but after a long time, the imperial power will definitely seek to fight back."

Sun Jing asked: "Why does the imperial power have to fight back?"

Li Cun replied: "If a country wants to be stable, develop, and resist endless tests, it must have a high degree of centralization and a unified voice. Otherwise, the country will definitely fail because of too many internal conflicts." Strong, even disintegrated."

Sun Jing asked again: "The Kingdom of Jin is governed by the Wanyan family. Can't this form a high degree of centralization?"

Li Cun replied: "No, and the biggest problem of the Jin Kingdom at present is that the clan's power is too great, even to the point where it can drag the emperor down to beat twenty boards. This kind of power structure is the most dangerous. As long as it is People will have selfishness, and when faced with the distribution of benefits, there will be multiple voices, which will make the system react rigidly and cannot cope with complex and changeable situations. Moreover, once the benefits are too great, the clan may even fight for their own interests. Benefits will replace the emperor, and in this case, let alone centralization, even the emperor's own safety is not guaranteed."

Sun Jing said: "What do you think His Highness should do with this matter?"

Li Cun seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and blurted out four words: "A strong man cuts his wrist."

After listening to Sun Jing, Lao Huai was greatly relieved!

Although Li Cun's views are unavoidably immature, he has obviously been able to see the essence of the problem clearly, and he already has the courage to deal with things like an emperor.

Sun Jing didn't comment on whether Li Cun's answer was right or wrong. The emperor should learn to recognize right and wrong by himself, instead of listening to his officials.

Sun Jing stood up slowly, and said at the same time: "Your Highness, let's go here first, and the old minister will leave a homework for His Highness. Your Highness will analyze whether there is such a hidden danger in our university. Let's discuss this matter tomorrow."

Li Cunxin said: "Of course there is no such hidden danger in my university. During the development of my university, my father paid great attention to the balanced development of all forces, and very wisely separated civil and military forces so that they could not communicate with each other. The threat from them has been greatly reduced, and more importantly, my father's achievements are overwhelming, and his prestige is in the world. There are thousands of Chinese and military officials, and no one is a threat to my father. My father has no clan, and he was the first to follow My father's old brother who fought against the country is no longer in the center of power, how can there be a threat like Wanyan Zong in my middle school..."

As soon as Sun Jing finished speaking, Li Cun quickly analyzed Dazhong's current situation in his mind.

but--

This did not affect Li Cunli sending Sun Jing away.

When Sun Jing and Li Cun came to the door, they found Liu Huiniang standing here quietly—it seemed that she had been standing here for a long time.

Sun Jing hurriedly bowed down and said, "My humble minister, Sun Jing, has seen your empress."

Liu Huiniang said: "Mr. Sun, please... I heard all of your discussion just now. The officials have found a good teacher for Cun'er."

Sun Jing said very solemnly: "It is the greatest honor in this veteran's life to be able to train a successor for Dazhong. Therefore, even if he dies, the veteran will die without regret."

Sun Jing taught Li Cun too many things, many of which violated the rules of etiquette, and many of which could only be comprehended and unspeakable, that is to say, things that should never be put on the table.

But Sun Jing didn't care, and taught Li Cun everything.

If these things are really pursued, then Sun Jing may be doomed.

You know, the mainstream thought of this era is to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the favorite emperor of the ministers is an emperor like Song Renzong, not what Sun Jing taught Li Cun (in fact, Li Yan asked Sun Jing to teach Li Cun these things), Sun Jing thinks ( In fact, it was Li Yan who wanted to make Li Cun the emperor.

Therefore, Sun Jing has to bear the risk of being impeached, and may even become Li Yan's scapegoat.

Liu Huiniang said: "How important is the official's responsibility? How can the meritorious be wronged? So, don't worry, Mr. Sun, you will surely live a long life."

Obtaining Liu Huiniang's promise, Sun Jing was neither happy nor sad, but bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Ma'am, thank you officials."—Maybe, it is really like what Sun Jing said, he can cultivate heirs for Dazhong, He has already looked down on his gains and losses, even his own life and death.

Sun Jing quickly said again: "There are still some things in Weichen's mansion, so I won't bother you to talk to Your Highness."

Liu Huiniang has been out of the palace for a while, and she won't be able to stay with Li Cun for too long, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Mr. Sun, please go ahead."

After speaking, Liu Huiniang winked at the nanny who accompanied her.

Seeing this, the nanny stretched out her hand to Sun Jing, and said at the same time: "I will send Mrs. Sun on behalf of my mother."

While saying this, Mammy took a brocade box from a maid and held it in her hand.

Needless to say, this must be something that Liu Huiniang rewarded Sun Jing.

Sun Jing saluted Liu Huiniang and Li Cun, and then walked out of the Prince's Mansion together with the nanny.

When Sun Jing and Nanny walked away, Liu Huiniang smiled, and then waved to Li Cun, "Let me see if my son has grown taller!"

Hearing the words, Li Cun came to Liu Huiniang calmly and intimately, and said, "I have seen my mother."

The 13-year-old Li Cun was carved out of the same mold as Li Yan.

In fact, not only Li Cun, but Li Yan's sons and daughters all look like Li Yan.

In this regard, Li Yan lamented his strong genes more than once.

but--

Although Li Cun looks like Li Yan, his personality is more like Liu Huiniang who brought him up since he was a child. He is calm, self-disciplined, tolerant, decisive, highly politically sensitive, and has a strong sense of crisis.

Liu Huiniang was very satisfied with the heir to the imperial throne that she had cultivated by herself.

Liu Huiniang believes that in the future Li Yan will pass on the throne to her son Li Cun, and her son Li Cun will definitely lead the empire to glory.

Liu Huiniang compared Li Cun's height and found that Li Cun was already taller than her, so she said happily: "My emperor has really grown up, I have to study a marriage for my emperor."

Li Cundao: "This matter is all decided by the queen mother."

Liu Huiniang said: "I know your thoughts, my son, and I will definitely find you a virtuous and virtuous woman to be your concubine."

A good girl has to be picked slowly, it's not something to be in a hurry, and Li Cun obviously doesn't care much about it, so Liu Huiniang quickly skipped this topic, and asked: "What books has the emperor been reading recently?"

Li Cundao: "My son is reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" recently. This is what the father taught the child to read. The father also said that after the child has read this book thoroughly, he will let the child deal with state affairs with him."

After hearing this, Liu Huiniang couldn't help thinking: "The officials are going to start cultivating Cun'er themselves so soon? What a sage!"

This is also what Liu Huiniang likes most about Li Yan—although Li Yan's private life is a mess, Li Yan is never ignorant or unambiguous in major matters, especially for their mother and son, he has definitely fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father!

PS: It's almost a phased summary, I have to think about how to end this paragraph.

In addition, the book is not far from the end, it may be 50 million words, or even less, and it will be over.

So, I have to think more and try to write the last paragraph well.

That... Having said so much, what I really want to say is that I only wrote one chapter today, Calvin, I don't know how to write later...

Feel sorry!
