After Zheng Hong gave birth, Wang Guorui also issued an order to continue supervising the General Political Department of the Taiwan Army immediately after Zheng Hong had confinement for a month. But this order, which Wang Guorui did not expect, caused a bit of trouble.

"My lord, you can't do this! You can't let your wife continue to be in charge of the Political Department!" "My lord, you can't let your wife continue to interfere in the military!" "My lord, if you let your wife continue to interfere in the military, the country will be ruined." Ah!" "My lord, you can't do politics in the back house!"...

Looking at these officials kneeling in front of him, Wang Guorui frowned. Wang Guorui had just issued an order to allow Zheng Hong to continue to formally manage the General Political Department after a month, but now these guys actually rejected this proposal. The leader was Ouyang Xuan, and officials from various departments also came, obviously resisting Zheng Hong's continued taking over as the director of the political department. And this made Wang Guorui a little angry. Originally, he had promised Zheng Hong, that is, to let her continue to be in charge of the work of the Political Department after giving birth.

"Are you trying to force the palace?" Wang Guorui asked bluntly.

Ouyang Xuan immediately said: "My lord, soldiers are important to the country. The political department is responsible for the selection of military officers and various military and political affairs. It is the core of military and political affairs. How can it be entrusted to a woman. What's more The main thing is that Mr. Wang has a child now, and it is also born to his wife. If the harem intervenes in government affairs and has military power, then this country will be so bad that the country will change color!"

Wang Guorui finally understood what these guys were worried about. These guys were worried that Zheng Hong was now managing one of the core departments of the military, the Political Department, and that if Zheng Hong took advantage of this opportunity to gain military power. Even being able to take the opportunity to intervene in government affairs is very terrifying. You must know that since ancient times, power has also fallen into the hands of foreign relatives in many cases, and the Han Dynasty was the peak of foreign relatives' intervention in politics. As for many other dynasties, there were many cases where foreign relatives interfered in politics, and even the empress dowager listened to politics behind the curtain. This is something that scares them. Because if the power falls into the hands of foreign relatives, it means that the imperial power is weak. Does the country still belong to a certain family? I'm afraid this may eventually lead to usurpation, or something else.

And now Zheng Hong also has a part of the military power, which will allow his relatives to intervene in politics to the peak. So those officials also came to protest, and hoped that Wang Guorui would cancel Zheng Hong's rights. Then go home and take care of the children, and that's all right.

"Husband, let's do this! I'd better resign from this position, and then go home and take care of the children!" Zheng Hong said.

Wang Guorui asked, "Are you willing?"

"This..." Zheng Hong was a little speechless.

Wang Guorui immediately said: "Since you are not reconciled, why do you need to say it?"

Of course Wang Guorui knew it. Zheng Hong was definitely not willing to hand over the Political Department. Because power is a poison more poisonous than opium. There are still many people who can get rid of opium addiction, but there are not many people who can get rid of power addiction. Unless they are too old to do what they want, how many people can give up their rights? Even Zheng Hong is like this, she is still young, and she has seen the world. When Zheng Hong was the leader of the Taiwan Tiandihui, the world was already bigger than the world that ordinary women have seen. And now he controls the Political Department. The world I saw was even bigger. It's like a person who has learned advanced new ideas, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, he is unwilling to live in that feudal and backward life. This is where the revolutionaries came from. This can also be seen from that Kang Tongwei. Since she was brought into the whole world by Kang Youwei, she naturally would not want to be the kind of woman who would care for her husband and teach her children all her life.

So Zheng Hong has also met a lot, no matter how ambitious she is, her ambition is growing. Of course, this ambition is not about wanting to seize military power, and then create a rebellion against Wang Guorui, a husband. And her ambition is to be able to help Wang Guorui at work and to help Wang Guorui manage the Political Department well. Avoid unsuitable and disloyal officers from the top ranks. And since I have this ideal, I don't want to be able to return to the back house. I have nothing to do all day with my children and play mahjong. So Zheng Hong is unwilling to give up the rights of the Political Department. In fact, she proposed to give up the position in the Political Department because she didn't want to embarrass Wang Guorui, not because of her original intention.

"My lord, you can't continue to let your wife hold the military power, or the power will fall into the hands of your relatives!" Ouyang Xuan said.

Wang Guorui sighed and said, "I really don't know how to tell you idiots, you have been with me for several years, but you haven't made any progress at all? Do you really think that your relatives are meddling in politics, and that is their own problem?"

"Isn't it? For so many years, the Empress Dowager Cixi has ceded land and paid compensation to betray the country. Aren't these all the consequences of Cixi, a temptress, interfering in politics?" someone asked.

Wang Guorui immediately said angrily, "Don't pass the responsibility on to women!"

"..." Everyone was speechless, they didn't know what Wang Guorui meant.

"You guys! You are all big men anyway, why do you just shift the responsibility to women? You say that the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the reason why Cixi interfered in politics? Hmph, I really don't know where you got the theory. Although I don't like Cixi, but I have to say that even if another person came over, it would be the same as Cixi. Cixi was just pushed to the front by those guys to block disasters for them and attract hatred. You know what Cixi is People? He is the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. How can she control the government as a woman? He relies on the identity of the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, why would the royal family of Aixinjueluo acquiesce in her ruling the country? That is because he is the Empress Dowager. She is the daughter-in-law of the Aixinjueluo family, and she shares the same heart with the Aixinjueluo family and has common interests. Even if someone from the Aixinjueluo family takes power, the final result will not be much better."

"The Aixinjueluo family is a foreigner. They do not regard themselves as Chinese. Therefore, they are not polite about betraying China's interests. As long as they can maintain their rule, they can also betray. Cixi is just the representative of their Aixinjueluo family. , and all his decisions are to protect the interests of the Aixinjueluo family. Therefore, you should know that the empress dowagers in the past dynasties actually represented the interests of the royal family, and most of them were with the royal family. It’s just that, on the one hand, the emperor himself holds power, and on the other hand, the empress dowager indirectly holds power for the emperor.”

"As for the so-called foreign relatives, they are the descendants of the emperor. Rather than saying that they are an independent force, it is better to say that they are like vines entwined on the big tree of imperial power. Although some foreign relatives will Usurping the throne, but most of the relatives are attached to the imperial power. The rights of their relatives come from the imperial power, from the supreme imperial power. If there is no imperial power, then none of their relatives can survive. Attached, that’s the reason. So their rights come from the imperial power, and their relatives are just another by-product of the imperial power. But you can’t see through this, and you still think that relatives are something that harms people. No, He is just another way of existence of the principle of supreme imperial power."

"You want to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics. You don't think about the root cause, and then you all think that you want to shift the responsibility to a certain woman? Even if there is no Zheng Hong this time, there will be Li Hong, Zhu Hong, Zhao Hong, etc. Wait. And you have pushed the decline of the country to those women in the harem, how wronged! The decline of a country cannot be achieved by a certain woman alone. Back then Tang Minghuang doted on Concubine Yang Gui, but countless people later blamed her The responsibility for the failure of the Tang Dynasty was shifted to Yang Guifei? But not many people saw what the Tang Dynasty was like back then? Lushan Shi Siming ~lightnovelpub.net~ There will always be other people who will take the opportunity to rebel. This latent crisis existed long before Concubine Yang Guifei. And so many countries have perished, and those Confucianists who compile history have put those The responsibility was passed on to women and their relatives. But they never thought about it, what about themselves? No country’s decline can be completed in a short period of time, and that is a long-term process. But what is the cause, after many years There is no fruit. The reason for the country's decline may have been planted as early as the founding of the country, and it was not manifested until the last emperor. But these responsibilities should be shouldered by a woman, do you think it is fair? History only created the wisdom of the founder of the country, and the enchantress of the last generation confuses the king. This is just a fig leaf for those Confucian scholars to avoid responsibility. You actually believe this?"

"Master Wang, how can we prevent the harem and relatives from interfering in politics?" Ouyang Xuan asked.

Ouyang Xuan also wants to know that this harem and foreign relatives' involvement in politics are historical problems that cannot be solved at all. And the ancient emperors also wanted to restrict the rights of their relatives, but these were only temporary solutions, not the root cause. So now that I heard Wang Guorui's words, I also want to know how to eliminate the rights of my relatives, so as to prevent the harem and relatives from interfering in politics in the future.

And to prevent the harem and foreign relatives from intervening in politics is a historical problem that no one has ever been able to solve. So if it can be solved, it is a very great cause! (to be continued)
