I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1124: Prestige

With a population of 1.4 billion Dahua, everyone is living for their own benefit.

Some things will inevitably happen.

In April, during a family dinner, the concubine Xian made a statement to Wu Changqing, hoping that he could entrust the prince overseas.

Those princes did not dare to show their feelings to Wu Changqing, so they could only let their mothers speak.

Concubine Xian didn't want her son to go overseas, because she was too far away, so she didn't want to meet each other. But in the end, he couldn't hold back his son's pleading, and wanted to think about his son's future.

Ever since, she took the lead in putting forward this suggestion.

Later, Concubine Liu, Concubine De Fei and others echoed.

In the past, the person they cared about the most was Wu Changqing, who gave everything to them.

But now, the person they care about most may have become a son.

After all, they are more than 30 years old, and they will soon be old and decayed. They will no longer be able to be flopped, and it will be difficult for them to live the life of being held by the stars as before.

And if it is the son who holds the power, they will still be able to stand above them by relying on the title of their biological mother.

"What do you know, read more books when you are bored, and say nothing in your mind."

Wu Changqing reprimanded.

Enfeoffment is impossible, it is tantamount to splitting Dahua.

As long as a certain prince is given the power to open a mansion, it is impossible for the other party to grow stronger.

Even if they don't want to, their subordinates will encourage them to do so.

After all, only when the master becomes the emperor can they obtain the power of the dragon.

This point has long been verified by history, and the enfeoffment system is not acceptable.

However, the question about the future of the prince did bother Wu Changqing and was very difficult to deal with.

Like Zhu Di, raising these people as pigs will cause problems after a few generations.

Allow them to learn and become useful, and fear that they will have ambitions and cause turmoil.

"But it's not a problem to keep them idle."

De Fei courageously murmured.

"When did I let them idle? Didn't I allow them to engage in scientific research, art, or even officialdom? There were not a few obedient people, and they were all bored at home to learn the emperor's heart. There is only one throne, so what do they want? ?"

As soon as Wu Changqing said this, the concubines and court ladies and eunuchs knelt down to calm him down.

This is quite serious, almost reprimanding the princes for wanting to rebel.

Wu Changqing wasn't really angry, he wanted the throne, it was human nature.

What's more, those are still his sons, and he can't do anything with them.

It's just that there is only one throne, which is an objective fact, and he can't satisfy those offspring.

The next day, the princes who learned of Wu Changqing's madness were shocked and shivered.

As the saying goes, the royal family has no affection. As long as the throne is threatened, the relationship between father and son will not work well.

Ever since, the princes began a variety of performances.

The sixth prince hired a new concubine, pretending to be addicted to wine.

Lao Ba went to Jinling Art Academy for advanced studies, as if he was going to indulge in painting.

Others also temporarily reduced some social activities, so as not to be suspected of being a party by the old man.

With Wu Changqing's madness, those who tried to persuade the emperor to ban the prince out of the memorial also stopped.

For now, no one dared to challenge the emperor's authority.

This kind of prestige established for more than 20 years can really scare people out of breath.

In the Xue family, Xue Guiren is telling his two sons.

"Since ancient times, the founding emperor has not had a simple one. Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong, Ming Taizu, including today's His Majesty, are brave and ruthless people. The ability to stand out from the chaos has proved their ability. I want to play with this kind of person, it's not that I look down on you two, you are really unworthy."

Xue Guiren scolded angrily.

His two sons were entangled with the son of Xianfei Luo Min, Wu Kun, and even urged Wu Kun to make some dangerous actions. It was really irrational.

"But Dad, didn't you let us play with the eldest prince since we were young? We should make suggestions for him."

The eldest son was not convinced.

The entire Dahua knew what kind of superior Xue Guiren relied on. He was almost equivalent to Luo Min's natal family, and was the best friend of Concubine Xian.

They fully assist Wu Kun, which is also reasonable.

"Fuzzy, that's just in case. When there is an accident in the sage, we will naturally stand in line with the prince. But now, your majesty, the dragon body is healthy, you can't think about so many messy things, the first thing is to be loyal, always They are all present-day sages."

Xue Guiren scolded.

His two sons curled their lips when they heard this, and they also wanted to be loyal to the current sage, but the sage didn't give a chance.

Their abilities are limited and they cannot sit in such a high position.

"Looking at your majesty's rejuvenated look, he will at least live to be hundreds of years old. I am afraid that none of these princes will be able to get ahead."

The eldest son sighed, and then Xue Guiren knocked on a cane.

"You are looking for death, can you speak. Your Majesty will live a long life, that is the blessing of the great Chinese people. You, sooner or later, you will kill me."

Xue Guiren is so angry.

He knew that he didn't have any outstanding abilities, but he never expected that the two sons he had had were not as clever as he was.

"Father, I don't have anyone to say that in private, when I have been disrespectful in front of outsiders, and how can I beat others."

The eldest son vomited.

"This is to give you a long memory, so you don't have to be so troublesome. You don't have to be too active. Anyway, relying on your Lao Tzu, you can't run away from glory and wealth in this life."

Xue Guiren said with exhaustion.

There are many people like him who educate their children.

The former big salt merchant and the current real estate giant Pang Yuanming are also educating their children in this way.

"Don't have the idea of ​​breaking the law, don't touch the tiger's beard, and operate honestly. This is the new way of survival. Don't envy those who take shortcuts that make big money now, it's all clouds. Sooner or later, you can see their tall buildings fall down."

Pang Yuanming said.

As a businessman who came over at the end of Ming Dynasty, he did not miss his status as a businessman at that time.

It's just that he understands that those days are gone forever.

Only when Wu Changqing died and a stupid successor appeared, the businessmen had a chance to rise again.

Regrettably, he himself certainly couldn't wait for that day.

Therefore, he hopes that his children and grandchildren can forbear and dormant until that day.

In today's Dahua, the trick to survival is to be low-key, low-key, and then low-key.

Pang Yuanming is saying that some of his sons are listening carefully, but some are not.

Young people, who have never suffered, are a little ignorant of the sky and the earth.
