C2115 Many plots calculation (1/2)
The King Yi on the horse carriage fell into deep thought. Honestly speaking, he really did not want to get involved in this internal strife, especially since it was a direct battle that everyone had to avoid.
Although Xiao Letian only had one son, the chaos in the harem had already started to spread. Just look at Xiao Letian's arrangements, he didn't dare to make the big news of Fu Yin'er's birth public.
Why? He wanted to stabilize the Qing Dynasty's heart, so before the Chinese could sort out their diplomatic relations with him in Europe, especially with Britain, he broke his ties with the Qing Dynasty and decided to form an alliance between the Qing Dynasty and the UK.
At that time, not only would the stronghold plan fail, but what awaited the Chinese would also be a super war involving the British.
The people of this era, especially the Asian, all paid great attention to the issue of their sons. A statesman without descendants, or rather, a poor descendant, was undoubtedly reassuring because everyone knew that he was only strong for a single generation.
People's lives were extremely short when they reached 70 years of age, especially for political figures who needed a long time to study and accumulate their knowledge. Political figures would usually shine after the age of 40.
One could imagine that at this age, there wasn't much time left for politicians to rebel. Many emperors were unwilling to use a young subject, and this wasn't necessarily a problem.
Generally speaking, powerful officials, especially those with military power, would pay attention to their descendants. The imperial government would first analyze the age of this person and then analyze the level of excellence of his descendants.
If one was older, and their descendants were not outstanding, then the imperial government would be at ease with such powerful officials. For example, Ceng Guofan, Ceng Guoquan and the others, they would have an army that they were loyal to even.
However, their children did not truly become great beings, which was why Qing Dynasty was more at ease. It was not that Ceng Guofan's descendants were not outstanding, but that these people were not good enough materials.
Being an intermediate official or scholar was a good job, but they didn't have the ability to be as good as the general. They really wanted to be on equal footing with the marshal.
What the Qing Dynasty was most afraid of was not only Xiao Letian's Western martial arts and his reputation of being invincible. What they were most afraid of was Xiao Letian's age, which meant that he had such a career at a young age of thirty or so.
If the news of Xiao Letian giving birth to a son were to spread, then all the people in the world who had ulterior motives would have no choice but to think about it.
From the dragon heart ah, the Chinese people do not love from the dragon heart?
”So troublesome, so troublesome!” ”However, I can't get rid of this trouble …” King Yi sighed as she muttered to herself.
Honestly speaking, Shi Dakai found the King Yi to have him support Fu Yin'er, but Shi Dakai had a premonition about this matter. Of course, this was also something that he tried his best to avoid.
How could there be kinship within the imperial harem? He still vividly remembered the scene of the heaven killing each other. It was not impossible for Xiao Letian to have a few more sons in the future, when that time came, how could he not fight over them?
Would it be okay for him to get involved?
Even if he, the King Yi, could avoid a fight between princes over the throne, there had been many conflicts between the emperor and the crown prince!
There were precedents of being forced to become the emperor, who could guarantee that the milk tiger wouldn't dare to challenge the tiger's authority? If this father and son pair were to fight each other, then King Yi would really be in for a beating.
The young Wang Junlan looked at the Duke's constantly changing expression, and could guess what the King Yi was worried about. Before he had come here, the Director Wang had told him to look and listen more, but the young people sometimes had a kind of heart.
His eyes rolled a few times before he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, ”My lord, there are some things that might be a little inappropriate for me …” But it's hard not to spit it out! ”
