Fu Shou lowered his eyebrows and didn't say anything for a long time.
She understood what Liu Xie meant.
Although Liu Xie is very confident about her position as queen, it does not mean that the emperor's legitimate son will definitely become the crown prince.
This disappointed her somewhat.
She originally thought that Liu Xie summoned the three ministers to Nanyang with such a big fanfare just to establish the crown prince.
But now it seems that although Liu Xie loves the emperor's legitimate son, he does not think that the emperor's legitimate son will definitely take on the emperor's heavy responsibility.
She could understand Liu Xie's consideration of doing so.
If the emperor's legitimate son Liu Bian was not competent, he, the imperial concubine, might not have the chance to ascend the throne. If he knew the result in advance and then asked Liu Bian to choose, Liu Bian might choose to become the King of Hongnong and be a rich and idle person safely
.
But she also had her concerns.
The last time the labor was difficult, it left a psychological shadow on her. This time it went smoothly does not mean that it would be smooth next time. When will it be possible to give birth to a heir that satisfies the emperor?
To make a choice, at least three or four must be first.
Then why didn't she experience life and death?
"What's wrong?" Liu Xie asked when Fu Shou looked wrong.
Fu Shou took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it to calm down. "Your Majesty, I... am a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Liu Xie held Fu Shou's hand and suddenly felt that Fu Shou's hand was a little cold. He suddenly understood Fu Shou's uneasiness. "Afraid of having difficulty delivery?"
Fu Shou nodded embarrassedly. "I don't know if I still have the courage to rebirth, I thought..."
Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "This is the important task you must bear as a queen."
Fu Shou's face turned pale.
Liu Xie patted her face again. "But you don't have to worry so much. Difficulty is usually the first child. Since you have successfully given birth to the emperor's legitimate son, as long as you can exercise appropriately according to your current experience, you should not do it in the future.
There will be problems. Besides, the imperial physicians have also done a lot of research in this regard, which will minimize the danger."
Fu Shou replied softly.
Liu Xie did not persuade her anymore, but just hugged her quietly.
As he said just now, this is the responsibility that Fu Shou must bear as the queen.
Unless she is willing to let go of her obsession with the right to inherit the emperor's legitimate son.
Everything has a price.
——
What is entangled is not only Fu Shou, but also the ministers and ministers.
The direct reason why the emperor summoned them to Nanyang was the birth of the emperor's legitimate son. It is inevitable to discuss the inheritance of imperial power. However, the emperor was rich in spring and autumn and had not yet reached the point where he had to establish a crown prince, so the focus of the discussion was not limited to whether to establish a crown prince.
, but expanded a little.
In the context of implementing the new policy, does the original imperial inheritance system need to be reformed?
This question seems simple, but it actually has a lot of differences.
In fact, the principle of establishing a legitimate son to be the eldest, not the virtuous, and establishing a son to be the noble but not the eldest, was not well followed from the beginning, especially in the Han Dynasty. Very few people made the emperor's legitimate son the crown prince and then succeeded to the throne as the throne.
Most emperors did not arrange this rule.
The facts are not ambiguous, but the views are very different.
Some people think that this shows that this principle is useless, impossible, and there is no need to stick to it.
Some people also say that the reason why the world is chaotic is because it does not adhere to this principle well, which has attracted the covetousness of too many people, making any royal family want to succeed to the throne. Even Zhang Jiao knows how to support King Ganling and King Anping.
, want to do things that are abolished.
But this problem cannot be avoided by one obstacle: Who should succeed to the throne or the King of Heaven?
Just like many debates in history, when encountering such problems, you cannot continue.
In order to avoid encountering such a situation during public discussion, Yang Biao, Jia Xu and Zhou Zhong discussed a principle together.
The examples are limited to this dynasty, and are limited to filial piety, and do not involve the Shao Emperor and the current emperor.
The reason is also very simple: Dong Zhuo’s destruction and establishment was an accident, and it was the result of the chaos of military affairs, and it cannot be used as a common example.
Although this reason is far-fetched, no one objected and accepted this principle.
Everyone knows that if you want to discuss the results and even solve the problem, you must make some choices.
On this basis, Yang Biao clarified two points: one is to learn from history, and the other is to seek truth from facts.
The meaning of learning from history is to focus on practice and not be limited to the right, so as not to be too empty and idealized.
In short, history is more important than classics, and should be pragmatic and not talk empty talk.
The meaning of seeking truth from facts is to liberate the mind, not to have too many concerns, and try to explain things thoroughly, and make gains and losses clear.
For example, the history of the Xiaoling Dynasty is something that many people have personally experienced and is most suitable for analysis. If you are concerned about it everywhere, it will be impossible to discuss it, which means you give up an example that is most likely to be explained clearly.
Regarding this, Yang Biao asked Liu Xie for instructions in advance and received support from Liu Xie.
He has been preparing for the compilation of Emperor Xiaoling's Chronicle, and has accumulated a lot of historical facts, and is about to hear the comments of the ministers.
As a son of man, he had the obligation to avoid taboos in terms of etiquette and law, but... he was not actually the son of Emperor Xiaoling, so he had no psychological barriers and could naturally be more open-minded.
He even said that if necessary, things in the past decade can also be discussed without setting limits.
Yang Biao declined politely.
The emperor can be generous, and the ministers must maintain necessary respect.
After the premise and principles were determined, the discussion began immediately. The three dukes and officials from various prefectures discussed internally first, and the county magistrates and officials who came to the plan also participated in the speeches, which was very lively for a while.
Soon, a group of young and strong officials who were both knowledgeable and political practice became opinion leaders.
Chen Gong is one of them.
Since the third year of Jian'an, he has served as the prefect of Jiujiang for more than six years.
For him, it has been a lot of suffering over the years, but it has forced him to think a lot.
Before this, he only looked at whether it was in line with the teachings of the saints and the requirements of the classics, and did not care much about whether it was feasible. In his opinion, it was because it was not feasible that it was more precious.
How can sages be easy to do? They must be something that others cannot do.
After taking office, he was disappointed.
Du Tian was unable to push it for a long time, but many people came to him to ask for compensation for Yuan Shu's debts. At the beginning, he tried his best to meet their requirements and wanted to be a benevolent lord until he found more and more people.
Overwhelmed, he began to flee and moved to the adjacent Lujiang.
Because Yan Xiang has made greater efforts to promote Dutian in Lujiang, and the Zhou family in Shuxian, as the first family in Lujiang, has relatively supported Dutian.
In the face of greed and poverty of most people, he realized that the emperor firmly promoted the good intentions of Dutian.
When Han Sui was ordered to supervise the two prefectures of Yan and Yu, although Jiujiang was not among the Han Sui governors, he still took advantage of this rare opportunity to start diving the fields. On the one hand, he used the Xiliang troops to intimidate the Jiujiang tribes and suppress their arrogance;
On the other hand, he used the benefits of promoting the land in Lujiang to motivate the people and seek support from the people.
This method seems deceitful, but it has achieved good results.
After several years of delaying the field, it was finally completed. The result of Jiujiang's plan this year has finally become better and no longer so much that he can't raise his head by Lujiang.
There were also many fewer people moving to Lujiang, and some even planned to move back.
If you do these things, you will of course be called a cruel official, but Chen Gong doesn't care much.
Because more people are grateful to him.
With such practice, Chen Gong had a qualitative difference in his understanding of classics and history.
He made a point that attracted the attention of many people.
"Spring and Autumn" is a history of the State of Lu and cannot be used to guide today's practice at all.
The only thing that can be taken is the sage's love for others, which is the core of Confucianism and Taoism - benevolence.
