Red Alert 1895: Chapter 617 Empress Zheng\'s decisiveness

"Husband, do you think the future emperor must be in a position without much real power?" Zheng Hong asked. ◎,

Wang Guorui felt strange, why did Zheng Hong ask this? Wang Guorui knew that Zheng Hong had always hoped that she and her son Wang Jiazhao would inherit the throne, and this was what Zheng Hong had always hoped for. After all, Zheng Hong is a woman who came from the feudal era. She has always regarded her mother's respect and making her son an emperor as her highest dream, which is even more important than the rank of lieutenant general in the army. But now she took the initiative to come and ask, making Wang Guorui feel that Zheng Hong has other ideas?

"Yes, the future emperor, except for me, may have less and less power. I may be the last emperor in China who can control absolute power, and I don't dare to use it indiscriminately. If it goes on like this, Sooner or later, there will be chaos in the world. I have not only said once, but the road to the monarchy is getting narrower and narrower, so I know it is impossible to continue." Wang Guorui said.

And Zheng Hong thought for a while, and then said: "Husband, since this is the case, then I hope that Jia Zhao can enjoy the wealth and honor for a lifetime. As for the responsibility of the emperor, I hope it is better not to let Jia Zhao take it. I am afraid that he will be exhausted if he takes on such an important responsibility. And I hope that I can let him live his rich life with peace of mind, instead of taking on those flashy responsibilities."

"You mean..." Wang Guorui asked.

"I hope to let my family take care of me, so that I don't have to be an emperor in the future!" Zheng Hong said directly.

After hearing this, Wang Guorui immediately frowned. What was this Zheng Hong thinking? Is she the legendary "advance by retreat"? You must know that there are many methods in the officialdom, that is, the so-called "resignation" or various so-called methods, in fact, they are all based on retreat. But in many cases this is just a means, Zheng Hong said at this time that he hopes to give up the so-called emperor's position for his son. Is this what she thinks in her heart? You must know that Wang Guorui has always been worried that if Zheng Hong's son inherits his throne, will his son want to continue to be in power at that time, and grasp the absolute power of the emperor in the feudal era? As for Zheng Hong, as his mother, she is still the person who controls half of the country in the army, if there is a collusion between their imperial power and military power. The aftermath left by this is very huge.

Wang Guorui knew that since ancient times, there have never been many troops who wanted to take power. Especially many warlords, they have always dreamed of gaining power. And once the warlords take power, there will inevitably be national turmoil. At that time, I am afraid that the country will largely rely on violence to solve problems. This is why many emperors have been born as warlords since ancient times, but after they finally became emperors, they restricted the warlords and the power of the army? In fact, they have a deep understanding of this, because they know that a strong army will make them feel uneasy, and it will easily cause a change of dynasty.

The risk of dynastic change is enormous. At that time, it is the people who will suffer. Moreover, the government controlled by the military must be full of aggressiveness. At that time, launching a war was commonplace. War is actually a gamble, and any war is a gamble, a gamble that changes the state of the country. War is tantamount to reshuffling the cards of various forces. Once the warlords take control of the government, all the forces in China will also be reshuffled. At that time, maybe even his descendants would not be able to secure the throne.

Therefore, Wang Guorui knew that it was necessary to put an end to the emperor's use of military power to control the imperial power, and military power to control the government by means of the "righteousness" of the imperial power. Such collusion between the two parties is definitely not good for the country. So Wang Guorui was very worried, in case Zheng Hong's son used his mother's influence in the army to cooperate with the military. That would instead pose a huge threat. Wang Guorui was very worried about his eldest son. This eldest son just cast a wrong fetus at a wrong time, making him Wang Guorui's first son. If his mother wasn't Zheng Hong, Wang Guorui wouldn't have worry about what.

But now Zheng Hong actually took the initiative to say that he hoped to give up the right to inherit the throne for his son, so it can be said that he can relax a lot. But. Is this what Zheng Hong is thinking? Could it be that she is trying to advance by retreating? If she is only advancing by retreating, then I am afraid that she will really be in trouble. Wang Guorui thought that after so long, it was difficult for him to see Zheng Hong clearly. Although their relationship is husband and wife, neither of them knows what the other is thinking. It's like the later movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Although they are husband and wife, they each have their own interests and points of interest. To completely solve these problems, only one party chooses to give up.

"Oh? Why?" Wang Guorui asked.

Zheng Hong immediately said: "Husband, I know that my family photo is not suitable to be an emperor, and even the prince I will give birth to in the future is not suitable to be an emperor. So instead of being reluctant, I choose to take a step back. For a woman like me, My husband is the most important thing to me. How bad it would be to affect our relationship between husband and wife for a flashy thing! So, I don't want to have any trouble with my husband because of these things. "

Wang Guorui nodded and said, "In that case, Hong'er, I'm very happy. It seems that you understand very well."

Wang Guorui knew that Zheng Hong really thought that his son had to give up the throne. If Zheng Hong insisted on forcing his son to continue to be emperor, then maybe they would definitely cause a lot of trouble. At that time, the conflict between Wang Guorui and Zheng Hong would inevitably arise gradually, and then there would inevitably be a big rift in their relationship. In this case, the one who made the compromise could only be Zheng Hong, and only the woman Zheng Hong. It has to be said that Zheng Hong is a woman after all, especially a woman born in the feudal period, she really has no courage to fight with her husband. She didn't have the guts to fight for power with her husband. This was the influence of the patriarchal society since ancient times. Zheng Hong didn't dare to fight for power directly with Wang Guorui. Even Wu Zetian had the courage to seize power only after the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. If Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi were still there, then even Wu Zetian would not dare to compete with Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi for power. This is a traditional Chinese custom. Of course, there are also reasons why the female character is relatively weak, so Zheng Hong has no choice but to make a compromise.

"Husband, but I hope that in the future, my family can get enough wealth and life, at least live a better life!" Zheng Hong said.

"Want to live better? So I want property." Wang Guorui thought for a while.

Zheng Hong also knew the general idea of ​​Zheng Hong, that is, he hoped to obtain the inheritance right of wealth. Zheng Hong gave up the right to inherit the throne for her son, so she naturally hoped that Wang Guorui would give her son better treatment in terms of property, so that she could get higher compensation. It's the same as giving up, so naturally they have to give them some compensation, otherwise they won't be able to appease Zheng Hong. What's more, Wang Jiazhao is his eldest son, and according to the traditional order of succession in the past, he should get the most, so it is also appropriate to give him more.

"How about this, 40% of my property, that is, 40% of my wealth will be left to you and my children in the future, what do you think?" Wang Guorui asked.

Since Zheng Hong is so sensible, then Wang Guorui naturally has no reason to be sympathetic. Since Zheng Hong gave up the right to inherit the throne for his son, it is natural to give them compensation in terms of wealth. So this compensation must be compensation in terms of money and wealth.

After Zheng Hong left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, it seems that you are wiser this time. If you insist on your child inheriting the throne, I am afraid Mr. Wang will be dissatisfied with you in the future! At that time, I am afraid that he will be beaten like a chicken. !” said Liu Feng.

Liu Feng knew very well that aside from Zheng Hong being a woman, she was definitely not as good as Wang Guorui in fighting for power by nature. What's more, Wang Guorui is still her husband. According to traditional Chinese customs, if a wife competes with her husband for power, it would be treasonous. If Zheng Hong really wants to forcefully fight for the throne for her son~www.mtlnovel.com~, then the risk is too great.

"Hey, what is given to you is yours. If you don't give it to you, you can't take it. After all, Mr. Wang is also a generation of emperors, even his son. So Miss, since Mr. Wang is not willing to let you If your child inherits the throne, it is better to use the throne to exchange for more benefits. Moreover, Mr. Wang also said that the situation of the emperor's monopoly in the future will become less and less, so it is better to give up the throne to choose actual benefits. If you can let The young lady's child gives up the throne, and according to the next step, our Tiandihui will be able to vigorously develop. If the young lady insists on letting her child inherit the throne, it may be very risky. If you give up, you will have a huge wealth , that can also gain more power.”

"Miss, the future is dominated by wealthy capitalists. Only those who have control of the capital can truly control the real power. The emperor is just a puppet. So if you can control Mr. Wang's property, you may get even greater benefits. What Mr. Wang is worried about is that in the future, if you control the military power and the righteousness of the emperor, you can combine with each other and threaten the stability of the country. If you give up the righteousness of the emperor, you can control assets behind your back, then Coupled with the support from the army, it can be considered pretty good.”

Zheng Hong sighed and said, "I hope so!" (To be continued.)
