In the study room of Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao was reading the letter written to him by his third uncle.
Sitting opposite him, Liang Pin saw him frowning, raising, and relaxing his eyebrows for a while. His expression was very wonderful, so she asked with concern: "What did the third uncle write to you?" Who is the third uncle? Liang Pin had already I learned about it from the emperor. However, she kept it secret from Zhao Yao.
"Third Uncle's letter this time is about history. He asked me why each dynasty cannot last forever?" Zhao Yao frowned and said, "The Chen Dynasty once had a prosperous and peaceful age, so why did the Chen Dynasty not last more than three hundred years?" Will the country be subjugated?" After saying that, he handed the letter in his hand to Liang Bin.
"Third uncle also asked me, how many years can Dazhou last?"
Liang Bin took the letter and looked down at it carefully. After reading it, she asked Zhao Yao: "Why do you think it is? Then how many years do you think Dazhou can last?"
Zhao Yao said: "It is impossible for the Great Zhou Dynasty to last for a long time. It can only last for more than three hundred years at most."
Liang Bin returned the letter in her hand to Zhao Yao and asked, "Why don't you think the Zhou Dynasty can last for four to five hundred years?"
Hearing Concubine Liang's question, Zhao Yao asked in surprise: "Concubine, didn't you see it?"
Liang Bi didn't react and asked in confusion: "What did you see?"
"Throughout history, the longest dynasty lasted more than three hundred years, and never more than four hundred years." Seeing that Liang Bin didn't notice, Zhao Yao had a very surprised look on his face, "These three hundred years are a cycle. , no matter which dynasty it is, it cannot jump over three hundred years, how could the Great Zhou Dynasty jump out of this cycle?"
After hearing this, Liang Bin took the letter back from Zhao Yao and looked at it carefully again. She found that the third uncle had listed all the dynasties from ancient times to the present. Although he did not specify how many years they lasted, but he did a little calculation. It can be calculated that she didn't notice it just now.
"That's true."
"The previous dynasty will also be 301 years old, and most of the other dynasties have not exceeded 300 years." From now on, there are not many dynasties that have exceeded 300 years.
"The fact that other dynasties have not exceeded four hundred years does not mean that Zhou Dynasty will not do it." Liang Pin asked with a puzzled face, "Are you so sure that Zhou Dynasty will not do it?"
Zhao Yao asked back: "Mother, do you think the Great Zhou Dynasty can last for more than four hundred years, or even longer?"
"I think it's not impossible." Liang Bin was very confident in the emperor.
Zhao Yao took a deep look at Liang Bin and asked with a strange expression: "Concubine, do you really think so?"
Seeing her son's expression of disbelief, Liang Bin didn't understand why her son looked like this.
"Yes, I really think so."
Zhao Yao looked at Concubine Liang in surprise: "Concubine, do you really think so."
Liang Bi looked confused: "Can't I think so?"
"Mother, concubine, who gave you the confidence to think that Zhou Dynasty can surpass all previous dynasties?" Zhao Yao asked in a strange tone, "Father?"
Liang Bin felt that her son was laughing at her, although she had no proof. She glared at Zhao Yao and said, "Yes, the confidence given by your father."
Zhao Yao murmured in a low voice: "Concubine, you really like your father."
Liang Bin didn't hear Zhao Yao's words clearly and asked with a slight raised eyebrow: "What did you just say?"
Zhao Yao did not answer Liang Concubine's question, but said: "If the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to last for four hundred years, unless each generation of emperors is as capable as my father, and each generation of emperors must live a long life. Mother, don't you Do you think that with only three or four emperors like my father, you can maintain the Zhou Dynasty for four hundred years? "
He then said: "Mother, you must have heard the saying that you can't be rich for three generations, right? Even if you are rich for three generations, it is difficult to be rich for six generations. Haven't you found that every dynasty has a peaceful and prosperous era, and after the prosperous era, It started to decline.”
Then he said: "When the water is full, it will overflow, my concubine."
Liang Bin opened her mouth slightly after hearing Zhao Yao's words.
"Mother and concubine, more than three hundred years have been a cycle. No dynasty can escape from this cycle, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is no exception."
"Why is this?" Liang Bi read many history books, but she had never discovered this.
"This is the purpose of Third Uncle writing me this letter." Zhao Yao looked at Liang Bin and saw her puzzled face. He sighed softly, "Concubine, you have read more history books than me. You didn’t, really…”
Liang Bin glared at her son again and asked angrily: "What should I find?"
"Mother, do you think every dynasty started out very well, and then there was a period of peace and prosperity in the middle, but then it began to decline, and it declined very quickly?"
Liang Bin said: "Didn't you just say that when the water is full, it will overflow?"
"In the previous dynasties, as well as the Chen dynasty, they began to decline after their prosperity, but they did not completely decline because a master of the ZTE appeared, who allowed the dynasty to continue for decades or hundreds of years, but in the end it still perished. Why is this?"
Liang Concubine's first reaction was that the emperor behind the ZTE Lord had no talent. She thought this was unlikely to be the reason. She thought carefully and said: "At that time, the imperial court had more and more problems, and the last emperor could not solve them."
"Mother, you only saw the surface."
"On the surface, what is the real reason?" As soon as Liang Zhaoyi finished speaking, he thought of a reason, "Aristocratic family?"
"The aristocratic family is the superficial reason."
"What, the aristocratic family is the superficial reason?" Liang Pin asked in shock, "What is the real reason?"
"The real reason is the land." Zhao Yao didn't know what he thought of, and his expression became a little subtle, "Concubine, you are not pregnant, are you?" As the saying goes, one pregnancy lasts three years, and the concubine suddenly became If you are so stupid, you can't be pregnant.
"No." Liang Bi didn't understand why her son said she was pregnant?
"No, concubine, why have you suddenly become so stupid?" Zhao Yao asked suspiciously, "Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take your pulse..."
Before he could finish his words, Liang Bin flicked his forehead with his finger.
"You are getting more and more courageous. How dare you make fun of your mother and concubine."
"I'm not making fun of you, I'm telling the truth. Concubine, you've just become stupid."
"Okay, the mother-in-law has become stupid, then tell me why it is land?" Liang Concubine asked shamelessly.
"To be precise, it is a problem of people and land, and this problem has existed since ancient times. Why do kings of every dynasty suppress and weaken aristocratic families?"
"The noble family has power in its hands."
"No, the most important reason is because the aristocratic family has a lot of land." Zhao Yao said seriously, "The aristocratic family can stand for hundreds of years, even thousands of years, because they have land, and land is their last retreat."
Liang Zhaoyi still doesn't quite understand. Because she has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, she would not have endured hardship if there had not been riots in her previous dynasty. The most important thing is that the Liang family has a lot of land.
"The aristocratic families are occupying more and more land, but the land allocated to the people is getting less and less, or even none. Without the land, the people have no food to eat." Zhao Yao continued, "There is no food for a day or two. It’s okay to have food, but if there is no food for ten or twenty years, the people will revolt.”
Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Zhaoyi discovered that this was really the case.
"I see."
"Grandpa Huang and my father snatched a lot of land from the aristocratic families, but the aristocratic families still have a lot of land in their hands." Zhao Yao wrinkled his face and said, "To be honest, the royal family does not control as much land as the aristocratic families. A lot."
"It's just that I'm ignorant. I've never thought about this before." Liang Bin was taught the lesson, and she quickly asked, "How did you find out?"
"Reading the history books." Zhao Yao felt that Liang Bin's question was a bit stupid. Of course, he would not dislike it. After all, she was his mother-in-law. "Mother-in-law, what are you reading in the history books? You only read about each dynasty. The story of the rise and fall?" The mother-in-law is more historical than him, but it turns out that the mother-in-law only understands the superficial history, which is really surprising.
"There are still common people, but I didn't discover the land issue behind the history." Liang Bin suddenly felt that she had read the history books in vain, "I am stupid."
"Grandpa and father encouraged the digging of wasteland to allow the common people to have land, but they only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Zhao Yao said with a slightly sullen face, "It's difficult to get the aristocratic families to spit out all the land obediently. , unless the family is directly destroyed."
"Those aristocratic families in Yangzhou were eradicated by my father, but the aristocratic families in the capital are not so easy to get rid of." Zhao Yao added, "The aristocratic families in the capital have existed for thousands of years."
"If the Zhou Dynasty wants to break out of the three-hundred-year cycle, it must put all the land in the world in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court must be clear-minded and consider the people. However, it is impossible for every generation of emperors to be clear-minded. .”
When Liang Zhaoyi heard this, she finally understood what Zhao Yao meant.
"It seems that each dynasty cannot exceed four hundred years."
"Land is the most important reason, but there are other important reasons."
"What other reasons?"
"Concubine, you think about it yourself." Zhao Yao thought for a while and then said, "Concubine, I'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you tomorrow..."
Zhao Yao's little head was hit hard by Liang Bin with a book, "Concubine, don't get angry with shame."
Liang Bin cursed angrily: "You stinky boy..."
"Mother, you have become stupid..."
Zhao Yao did not escape, but was eventually caught by Liang Bin, who held her down on her legs and spanked her. Of course, she was reluctant to hit him hard.
After the mother and son played around for a while, they continued to read their own books.
Liang Bin picked up the history book again, while Zhao Yao was replying to his third uncle.
Zhao Yao finished writing the letter and planned to send Tongxi out of the palace tomorrow to deliver it to his second uncle.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Bin reminded Zhao Yao to go back to the room and sleep.
Before Zhao Yao left, he once again told Liang Bin to call the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse tomorrow.
Liang Bin laughed angrily: "This brat..."
Guixing came over and said with a smile: "My Lady, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take your pulse tomorrow?"
Liang Bin reached out and poked Guixing's forehead, laughing and scolding: "You're making fun of me too."
"Perhaps your Majesty is really happy?"
Liang Bin shook her head and said, "No, I know my own body. If there is a baby, I will definitely know." She added, "I will never have another child in this life."
When Guixing heard Liang Concubine say this, her eyes were full of distress: "My dear, don't think so, maybe you will give birth to a younger brother for His Highness in the future."
"I'm not sad." Concubine Liang had already looked away from the fact that she would never be pregnant again. "Fortunately, Yaoyao has two good brothers, the fourth prince and the eighth prince."
"Empress..."
"Am I getting old? Otherwise, why would I suddenly become stupid?" Liang Pin thought of the white hair on her head and sighed, "It seems that I am really old." She didn't realize that every dynasty had not surpassed For four hundred years, the real reason for the decline of each dynasty has not been discovered. If Yaoyao hadn't told her this tonight, I'm afraid she would never have discovered it in her life.
"Empress, you have not aged or become stupid, but Your Highness is too smart." Guixing exclaimed, "Your Highness is really too smart. Fortunately, Your Highness has been pretending to be stupid."
"Yao Yao is not only smart, but also very careful." Liang Bin said, "The most important thing is that he is very keen." She did not see the real problem behind history, but Yao Yao had long been aware of it. This child... Just like the emperor said, this child Yaoyao was born to be an emperor.
I continued to ask for leave today, but it still got stuck, and I was not satisfied with what I wrote.
Because I saw the comments from old people and young people, I didn’t create a group. Also, I'm afraid that if I create a group, the veterans won't talk in the group.
Let me ask here, veterans, do you want to join the group?
Actually, I want to hear the opinions of veterans. Now in Cavan, maybe the veterans can have some good ideas.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket!
