As the Taiping Army’s control over the years has grown larger and more things need to be dealt with; Zhou Huai’an has also deeply felt and realized why many monarchs from ancient to modern times often wanted to have one when they were young. Fan deeds, but after middle age, they often begin to get tired of politics and the historical root of faintness.
After all, letting a person deal with countless internal affairs for ten years is indeed very damaging to people's enthusiasm. Coupled with the increase in age and the decline of energy and physical strength, monarchs often begin to slack off and become disgusted. And this has produced all kinds of right and wrong.
At the same time, they have to allocate time and energy to face the concubines and their children in their harem, respond to and satisfy their demands from their respective positions, and handle well with the multiple identities of the monarch and husband. Corresponding contradictions and competition; or as many children as possible during the lifetime, to ensure more probability and stability for the continuation of the imperial family.
Otherwise, once the disputes in the harem spread and extend to the foreign dynasties through their respective family backgrounds, it will easily become a party dispute and aggression between the ruling and opposition factions, and even become a fierce movement on the throne of the great ruler. ** and the storm, even some "fathers are kind and filial"-style things that can't bear to speak were born as a result.
Therefore, in this relatively depressed and exhausted atmosphere, the so-called harem life can easily fall into a boring cycle of routines. Therefore, with the exception of a few cases, the emperors of the past dynasties in history almost always liked to accept young concubines constantly, and even some people fought until the last moment of their lives.
Because they can get short-lived freshness and a sense of accomplishment to satisfy male possessiveness from these young concubines who have just entered the court and have relatively simple minds; at the same time, they can also introduce more new blood to dilute and break the palace, because The tension and confrontation caused by the power struggle.
(On this point, Zhou Huaian was also deeply moved after reading the living records of emperors in the Li and Tang dynasties and the miscellaneous documents of others, and learning about the blood and rain and the brutal darkness hidden therein.)
It can also be said that, apart from a few of the roads and blue wisps who smashed into the sky from the sea of blood on the corpse mountain, and can be called the founding emperors of the country for a while; there are only a few such as the Hanwu who came to the fore in the court struggle, or the competition for the upper ranks. The special case of Minghuang, the hero of the prosperous age or the master of ZTE, can continue to maintain the corresponding focus and willpower on national affairs, and create a huge foundation.
Nevertheless, history still inevitably occurred such as Han Wu Emperor was forced to issue an edict to sin, let the cruel staff to kill the queen and the prince, and only rely on the rebirth of a child to inherit the throne, resulting in the country's great politics. An example of the continuous political struggle of a powerful minister.
However, Emperor Ming of Tang learned the lesson of court disputes that killed several sons in his early years. In his later years, he spoiled one person and burned out government affairs at the same time, and handed over state affairs to power traitors and jesters one after another. This disguised the emergence of the "Anshi Rebellion" of the rise of ambitions in the border town. "This is the result of the decline of the country under Tianbao's heyday.
Not to mention that most of the kings were trapped in a large cage called the imperial palace from the moment they were born. What the senses can see during the day is only the whole world woven by the eunuchs and women; therefore until After a certain age, I have the opportunity to receive the foreign minister’s knowledge and experience in the name of learning.
Therefore, in addition to the basic mental skills and tactics nurtured by the Emperor's House, they also restricted their horizons and the upper limit of their cognition in disguise; and this situation continued until they took over the throne and ruled the world. Some people are able to get rid of and grasp the situation in power struggles and games, and they have become the beginning of a generation of emperors; but more people still inevitably become a group of mediocre masters who rely on ministers, close eunuchs and foreign relatives to maintain the situation. .
And under this kind of disguised internal and external isolation, no matter how many delicacies of mountains and seas, delicacies, and enjoyment, there will be times when they will eventually be abandoned. So some kings will turn to focus and indulge in hobbies in certain fields, and create some historical allusions and anecdotes.
Such as practicing alchemy and cultivating the Tao for longevity, and ultimately eating oneself to death, it is a common drama; even the Ming masters like Tang Taizong can not help but stay; or they are proficient in the painting and calligraphy of Cuju, and then they are taken to five by the Hu family. National City to experience the scenery of northern Saibei Emperor Huiqin. . Another example is Tang Xizong, the emperor of polo, who is known for his versatility in contemporary times and is now visiting Xichuan.
Of course, there are also some kings’ concerns and interests that have shifted outside the court, and this has spawned many true and false stories about the emperor and his relatives and other people’s private visits to the people, and even swagger. The legends and allusions of Qinlou Chuguan come.
Among them, there are more tossing examples, such as "Feng Zen Taishan" and "sacrifice to the Yellow River" and began to travel around the world with great fanfare.
From the Qin Dynasty to the east for many times to declare the ruling power of the six kingdoms, but eventually died of illness halfway and in a disguised form leading to the death of the unification of Daye II; to playing the human sea tactics in Liaodong, playing Liuheban city and outside the Great Wall Playing the dragon boat in the Water Palace in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally playing with the people's resentment, the world is full, but there is no home to go back, only in Jiangdu to ask himself who can take the head of Sui Yang Emperor;
Then to the Ming Dynasty’s biggest military scene reappearance, role-playing and COS enthusiasts, and created a well-known private amusement park-the Leopard House Emperor Zhengde; also known as a few trips to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving countless romantic legends, and the frontiers are far-fetched allusions The ancestors and grandchildren of Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong of Qing Dynasty are almost like this.
Zhou Huaian is now a modern man with a broad vision and a traverser with thousands of years of experience and lessons. Naturally, he will not easily make these mistakes and repeat the same mistakes. At least he can find the sense of accomplishment that he is witnessing and creating a new history from a lot of prosperous official duties, as well as the collection of celebrities and the sense of accomplishment that he wants to change the destiny of others;
In addition, from the back house, he can also find the joy of endless trials from women of different styles and styles, through the limit of imagination of modern people, as a daily emotional adjustment and mental buffer. Coupled with building and training from scratch, the military, bureaucracy, and talent system are relatively advanced in the contemporary era. It is still a long way to go if you want to create a mood of sabotage.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian’s palm was once again accompanied by Hong Yao’er’s anger and clear chants, and he moved more and more profound and simple; the so-called "persuade the king to not hesitate the golden robe, and persuade the king to wait for his youth", can it be said? Isn't it the situation at this moment? It wasn't until the girl wailed like a peony dripping dew, and her soft body came to relax again.
Although it wasn't the first time to be so affectionate, she was still a shy girl, still trying hard to rearrange her skirts and skirts, as if she had never expected the possibility of being messed up again.
She saw her Yun temples trembling and her face was turbulent, holding down the man's pretentious hand, and then gently gasping for him and said:
"In fact, Lang Junguang has ministers and soldiers, and there are many wise men who are well-chosen by you, so why should you ask other women of my generation? I am afraid that it is not because of the suspicion and criticism of being involved in politics..."
"Yao'er, don't you think that what you see and hear in front of you are most of the public opinion and reputation? It's not the case,"
Zhou Huaian continued to hold her affectionately and said:
"After all, there are tens of thousands of humble backgrounds in this world who are struggling for their livelihoods all day long and have no time to care for them, and there is no way to specifically position the general public who speaks and appeals for themselves... Therefore, there is a chance to stand in front of you and me. , Just in case."
"And those who are able to make a sound about this are just because of a good family background, or a higher starting point than others; and enough leisure time to learn and ponder the world, and enough knowledge and experience to be able to Ideas and cognitions are presented in a concise and easy-to-express way."
"Therefore, this will inevitably give people a certain illusion. It seems that only these voices can basically represent the hearts and minds of the people in the world. Therefore, it is only necessary to respond and respond to their demands in a timely manner..."
"However, this is a huge misunderstanding. People in this generation may be able to represent the appeals of some people in the world, but they do not know that everyone has selfishness and personal standpoints, and moreover, it has formed the common cognition and recognition of vested interests. The instinct to maintain each other."
"Therefore, as time accumulates, all kinds of deviations and fallacies in the sentiment of the above will inevitably form. However, can the superiors really ignore and ignore these silent general public?"
"They just didn't have the opportunity to speak up, or that their opportunity to speak up was forcibly represented and distorted by a small pokeman from the Jinshen Hao surname, a large family family. But once it is intolerable and there is nowhere to argue, the same will happen. Use actual actions (foot) to express stance and protest (vote)."
"Therefore, the light ones live in exile and beg for food and livelihoods, the middle ones are the big eaters in groups, and the aggressive ones become the foundation for overthrowing the world, and after the big break, the new era will rise again! This is what happened! The voice of the times that our generation has risen by the trend and obeyed the orders of the sky."
"The dust that has fallen from the times has reached every people, and it is a big mountain. The fall of Li and Tangzhi in the old dynasty is not only because of the internal and foreign difficulties inherited in the past dynasties, but also because of the extreme arrogance of the superiors, who think they are around What you can see and hear is all the truth and facts in the world;"
"Then, only in the bureaucratic system that has been hard to return, the false perceptions that have been distorted and seriously deviated by layers, in the net of lies and words intertwined with the closest people and the most trusted ministers, Decrease a little bit, and sit and wait for death step by step, until the hopeless final moment comes."
"During this period, even if someone with a sober mind occasionally rises up to persuade them, they will naturally be reprimanded and persecuted because they violate the will of the superiors, and even because most people are unwilling to face the cruel reality of escape mentality; this This is what we should learn the most after establishing a new generation!"
"So, these people in front of you, or the local scholars, must be correct? What they represent must be all the public opinion and the truth? If they do not have the ability to think dialectically, they have not gone deep. The channels and methods used by the people at the bottom to learn about the real people's livelihood and sentiments; that can only continue to be reduced to a few local situation people, only clay sculptures and wood carvings raised above the ground!"
"So, even if you are a woman, can't you fill in the vacancies for your homeland and give advice? What are the criticisms and comments of women in politics? Now my Taiping Army still uses women as officials. For the staff, there may still be women participating in and discussing politics in the future!"
"Since it is for the group that also contributes and contributes to the government, it is natural to have channels to speak out and express their views! Yao'er, since you, as my wife and the owner of the house, naturally you have to be an example and take care of this. The responsibility of receiving suggestions comes from..."
"Langjun is sincere, and the medicine will definitely live up to it..."
Hearing this, Cao Hongyao struggled to get up, and solemnly saluted Zhou Huai'an.
Zhou Huaian looked at her in admiration and sighed: This little lady who came to her because of the need of political marriage, in addition to her own charm and temperament that makes people feel peaceful; it is because of this pure mind. The biggest advantage of being smart and understanding.
So as long as you can explain the truth and reasons to her, you will unconditionally obey and cooperate fully, and strive to play your role well. It makes people deal with processor-related things, which saves time and worry. (End of this chapter)
