Chapter 839 The Emperor's Hard Life

"Wow wow wow" Just as Liu Nianfeng was talking to His Majesty the emperor, a burst of wailing suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the two of them. His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly picked up a child lying in the cradle, and began to comfort him When she got up, in front of Liu Nianfeng, she directly opened her collar and began to breastfeed.

Well, compared to the last time we had sex, His Majesty's size is significantly larger. It seems that pregnancy is not without benefits.

"This is my child?" Liu Nianfeng walked up to this child with some excitement. This child is almost one year old, and he no longer has the wrinkled appearance of a baby, but has become quite round, with two eyeballs. Dressed with great spirit, like an elf.

"He looks quite like me!" Liu Nianfeng said with a smile, then suddenly thought of something, he lifted the child's quilt and cast a glance.

"Oh! This one with a handle!" Seeing the familiar little bug, Liu Nianfeng immediately said excitedly.This is not Liunianfeng's first child. Liunianfeng already has two children, but both of them are girls. This is Liunianfeng's first son.

Although Liu Nianfeng does not favor boys over girls, he is still happy to see his son.

"Why, you're not happy if you're the one with handles!" On the contrary, His Majesty the Emperor saw Liu Nianfeng's movements and expressions, and asked a little unhappy.

"Hey..." Liu Nianfeng froze for a moment.

"What? Didn't you despise me for not having a daughter for you!!" His Majesty the Emperor stared at Liu Nianfeng in displeasure, "You are so patriarchal, do you really want a daughter?"

"Uh... no, I definitely don't!" Liu Nianfeng suddenly realized that His Majesty the Emotional Emperor thought he was patriarchal and hoped to have a daughter, no wonder his expression was so ugly just now.

"No, no, I'm patriarchal, and I'm definitely not patriarchal!" Liu Nianfeng immediately expressed his position in a gesture of swearing to the sky.

"Huh!" His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, and then sighed again, "Actually, your thinking is also very normal. I also hope to have a daughter, so that I can inherit my throne in a legitimate way, and those courtiers will not come here because of it." Admonish me. But he happens to be a boy, so when this child was born, not to mention the support of the royal family, even the ministers did not support me!"

"They said that the emperor's younger brother has grown up and has taken over a lot of experience in government affairs. He is the most suitable successor. It is too dangerous to hand over the empire to an underage child. If I give birth to a girl, then With the eldest daughter inheritance system, this child has an innate advantage. Unfortunately, this is a boy, even if I am the emperor, I can't match the power of the court!" His Majesty the Emperor lamented.

"Understood! Understood!" Liu Nianfeng nodded. Even in ancient China, where the imperial authority was strong, many emperors in the late feudal period did not have the right to decide on the succession to the throne.Especially for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for another son he liked to be the crown prince. Those ministers would desperately stop the emperor from choosing the future crown prince according to the eldest son inheritance system.

It can be said that more than half of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed because of this system.

The eldest son inheritance system can certainly stabilize the inheritance rights, allowing those princes who were born a few minutes late to cut off their thoughts on the throne from the moment they were born, and avoid disputes over the throne.

But there is also a huge disadvantage in this way, that is, for those princes who can no longer choose a suitable successor to the throne, as long as those princes work hard to keep themselves alive, they will definitely be able to wait until the day they inherit the throne, even if they are sick. A fool can also inherit the throne because of this, but he cannot choose the best prince to inherit.

However, a stupid successor is not the real reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. After all, after the position of the crown prince has been determined since childhood, the crown prince must have received an extremely elite education since he was a child. Unless he is born a fool, he cannot be insane Where to go, in fact, there are no fools and fools in the entire Ming Dynasty.

So here comes the question, what are the drawbacks of this system, isn't the last emperor a normal emperor?
The disadvantage of this system is that the civil servants have too much power. When the civil servants can decide to succeed the prince, even if he is a prince, he must please the civil officials and promise that he will guarantee such civil affairs after he succeeds to the throne.

In the end, the civil servants became more and more powerful, completely suppressing the military officials, and finally even the imperial power was suppressed. The emperor almost became a rubber stamp. Once the cabinet was bypassed, nothing could be done.

Once the power of civil servants is suppressed even by the emperor, there will be no opponents outside. At this time, there is only one choice, and that is to forcibly create an opponent.

This opponent can be the eunuch group, the spokesperson of the emperor, or it can be a self-separation within the civil official group. Anyway, there must be an opponent, there must be party struggle, otherwise the civil servants will not be able to survive.

And what really led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty was none other than the party struggles in the Ming Dynasty...

Eh, it seems to be going too far. It is normal. At this time, the imperial power of the human empire is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, so His Majesty the Emperor has no say in the heir at all. It is entirely up to the civil servants in the court and the military. military officers.

And because Leng Qiumin has been trained as an heir for more than 20 years, he has countless wings in the court. These officials must not accept the fact that their master will not be able to succeed in the future, so these people are naturally Standing on the side of Leng Qiumin, His Majesty the Emperor tried several times, but no one supported our Majesty the Emperor.

"So I also figured it out later, I will give the throne to Qiu Min, and I don't care about this position, as long as Dong Guan lives happily and happily in the future, I will be satisfied!" His Majesty the Emperor hugged himself The child said, "So I signed an agreement with Qiumin, promising to abdicate as soon as possible and give him the throne, and Qiumin only needs to promise to give my winter official [-] administrative planets as a fief, and make him a happy prince." I will be satisfied with my title!"

"So that's how it happened!" Liu Nianfeng nodded, and then said with some doubts, "Then what happened later? Since you have already reached an agreement with Qiu Min, why did you sneak away again? Isn't this a waste of all previous efforts?"

"Because I found out that some people don't want to give our mothers what they agreed to!" His Majesty said angrily, "The military department was extremely opposed to this agreement, and then they decided to send our mothers to the Jiangzhou star area, saying It is to give us a thousand administrative stars from the Jiangzhou star region!"

"These bastards, there are only five completed planets in the entire Jiangzhou star area. These guys are planning to send us two into that barren starry sky, these bastards!"

"It's impossible for me to let them manipulate me. I've thought about it. I want a thousand administrative planets near the Tianting star. I'll take up the position here. After the raw rice is cooked, I want to see it." Let's see if those bastards in the military department have the courage to resist the order openly!"

"..." Liu Nianfeng was speechless, he never expected that there would be such a nonsense story behind this incident.

His Majesty the Emperor is going to be entrusted to the Jiangzhou star area, and entrusted to his own territory. This is very nonsense. If His Majesty the Emperor comes with his own son, he will ask himself for a thousand administrative coins. Planet, whether Fleeting Maple will give it or not, this is a very nonsense question.

But thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because once His Majesty the Emperor is entrusted to the Jiangzhou Star District, it means that the Jiangzhou Star District has a legal status completely.

The Jiangzhou Star District belongs to his Fleeting Family whether it is in law or in fact. Well, although it is his son on the surface, he is still a baby, and the matter must be controlled by his own father. So, then the Zulongxing Guardian Mansion no longer needs to shy away from the relationship with the human empire, and there is no need to completely sever the relationship between the two, and they can get along with each other in an open and aboveboard manner. This is a huge benefit!

However, there will also be disadvantages in this, that is, once the emperor comes, he will never come alone, and she will bring many entourages, many of his own people.Judging from the patriarchal worldview of this world, when these people arrive, they will definitely try frantically to seize power from their Ancestral Dragon Star Guarding Mansion.

It would be fine if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to obediently be his own woman, but if she is not enough to be the emperor and insists on dictating and seizing the supreme power of Zulongxing's guardian mansion, it will be very painful.

"No, my Ancestral Dragon Star Guardian Mansion cannot allow the emperor to interfere, otherwise I will never be able to deal with Alice and His Majesty's affairs!" Liu Nianfeng quickly made a decision in his heart, so he immediately asked His Majesty said, "Your Majesty, you are right, I will definitely support you with all my strength, and let all the more than 1000 administrative planets near Tianting Star become your fiefs!"

"It's not my fiefdom, it's the fiefdom of our Dongguan boy!" His Majesty the Emperor said while hugging his child, "Unfortunately, things are not that simple. Many of the admirals of the guarding mansions in the vicinity have been replaced by admirals who are loyal to me."

"But I still have too little time, so in the end I only laid out less than 20% of the planets. If you want to force the military to submit and agree to entrust us with a thousand planets here, then I think I must master More than 50% of the planet will do. In addition, you must get the support of the governor in charge of this piece of earth. Only if the governor is willing to stand on my side, will I have greater confidence to bargain with the military! "

"The governor... is it Chen Shihan?" Liu Nianfeng was taken aback for a moment, then said.After Chen Shihan achieved the position of major general, because there was no admiral who could match Chen Shihan's military rank in the entire Tiantingxing, although Chen Shihan had no title, he became the de facto governor. It is said that there are thousands of town guards nearby. Yes, Chen Shihan has the right to command and dispatch, after all, the military rank is there.

And a year ago, as Chen Sihan's contribution and strength continued to improve, the military department simply appointed Chen Shihan as the governor, and in name, he became the governor of more than 1000 nearby planets and the admiral's mansion.

Therefore, the governor that His Majesty is talking about must be Chen Shihan.
