Chapter 918 Undecided, the struggle for the country(2/2)
Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I believe that Xiao Boye Academy has actually represented the highest level of enlightenment in the world today, and even Grand Secretary Wang is not as good as. At the same time, many nobles and military officers now ask their children to study at Xiao Boye Academy, which may be able to build connections for the prince."
Wanli pondered for a long time, but did not respond. He sat for a while and left, nor did he say he went to the treasury to take a look. It can be seen that this was really a hurdle for him.
The next morning!
"You seem to be quite idle today."
Aunt Xu came to the office and saw Guo Dan sitting on the sofa and working behind the desk, she couldn't help but feel curious.
Guo Tan said: "Your Majesty came last night."
"Is it for the prince?" Aunt Xu sat down and asked.
Guo Dan nodded and wondered, "Is this really that difficult?"
"Of course."
Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Let me tell you this, from high-ranking officials to landlords and merchants, the heads of the family are almost all eldest sons. Do you think they want to change the order of the elders and the young?"
The difficulty is here. It is not only about etiquette, but also about interests. This is not a problem unique to the emperor's family, but a problem for everyone. Now everyone follows the eldest son. If you want to change this, then the people who are in charge of the family will become injustice and dissatisfied.
This will harm the interests of many people.
The system of etiquette is not just a moral issue, but also a matter of behavioral norms. The behavioral norms will inevitably involve personal interests, and the law is also a kind of behavioral norms.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "I understand after saying this."
Aunt Xu asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"
Guo Dan said: "I may choose to fight head-on."
Aunt Xu sighed quietly.
Wanli did so many things to uphold imperial power. This step must be taken, but if you go out, it will be unpredictable.
She believes that with the current momentum of the emperor, it is not impossible to be tough, just look at how to get tough.
.........
Wuying Palace.
Wanli's silence made the attendant uneasy. Even the old fox Shen Shixing could not hide his nervous mood.
The emperor convened a cabinet meeting as soon as he came back.
It is very likely that the prince will be declared.
And it is very likely that the elders will be abandoned and the young will be established.
Because everyone knows that Wanli does so many things to uphold imperial power, and the dispute over the foundation of the country has become a dispute over imperial power. Once the elders are abolished and the young are successfully established, the imperial power will become supreme.
They were already thinking about how they should react if Wanli really shouted the slogan of abolishing the eldest son and establishing the young son later.
What should I do?
They have practiced countless times in their minds, but they still can't think of a reasonable way to treat them.
The issue of the country is the biggest problem in feudal society.
Wanli suddenly glanced at them and slowly spoke: "Shen Shou Gong."
"I'm here."
Shen Shixing shivered directly.
Wanli said: "You have drawn an order on my behalf and told the world that I will establish a...!"
Speaking of this, he paused suddenly.
This meal will be at least three years short of the life of the ministers present.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe.
Wang Jiaping was even more nervous and his whole body was trembling.
It's so fatal!
