Chapter 15 He Siyuan’s future
He Xi was really tired.
And if he doesn't come down, the conflict between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying will definitely break out, which will affect his career.
It’s just that for many things, it’s easy to start well but difficult to end well.
How to retire from the political stage with dignity, realize the great dream of retiring in his early forties, and at the same time preserve his career and reputation. This is also a difficult thing.
He Xi can't wait until the future to think about it.
"What should I do?" He Xi thought to herself. He suddenly thought of Zhu Yuanzhang. I wonder what Zhu Yuanzhang would do in his position?
Princess Anqing quickly interrupted He Xi's thinking. She said, "Siyuan is not young anymore. As a father, have you made any arrangements for your son?"
He Xi said: "Tomorrow, I'll ask him what he wants to do tomorrow. It won't be too late for me to make arrangements."
Princess Anqing suddenly became unwilling and said, "You are perfunctory with me. What does he want to do? Is it his turn to talk to me now? I don't want to listen to you as a father."
"In the future, just let him inherit your position and become the Duke of the country. What's the big deal?"
This is the difference in educational concepts between He Xi and Princess Anqing.
In ancient times, many people actually did not have many choices. J.
Many people disdain the competition for family property in ancient times and feel that if they have the time, it is better to go out and build a career on their own. Instead of fighting for a bit of family property and making a fuss.
That is actually a problem with China's rapid development, which makes many people think that starting their own business is a very simple matter.
actually not.
The economic situation has been bad in recent years. Even the matter of nibbling on old age is not mentioned much. It's evident.
For most ancient people, fighting for family property was the most convenient and fastest route, rather than starting from scratch outside.
Therefore, when it comes to the education of their children, it is certainly the parents who have strict views. But in reality, these children have little choice.
These are the directions that parents can give. Among these limited directions, we can survive better in the future. If you have other ideas, it is almost impossible to succeed, and you may starve to death in the future.
The starvation here is real starvation, not an exaggeration.
Therefore, children have no choice at all.
There is no choice. Not even the right to live. Not to mention other options.
He Xi was different. He Xi hopes that children can do what they want to do.
After all, he is an important minister and a figure who will definitely leave his name in history. Naturally, he can give his son more choices. As for the position of the Duke.
Yes. This time there will be a meeting to establish the country, He Xi will not be granted the title of Duke. But when He Xi retires from the position of chief minister, there will definitely be a Duke. In fact, He Xi is brewing an unspoken rule. That is, anyone who retires from the post of Chief Assistant will have a title.
As for the level of the title, it all depends on how people in the world view the chief minister's performance during his term of office.
Although He Xi has not yet obtained the position of Duke, it is also because if He Xi is granted the title of Duke, it will affect He Xi's reputation as the head of the civil service.
Rather than being unable to give.
For He Xi, the position of Duke is just the icing on the cake.
He doesn't care about this. But he cares about the future balance of power. Every outgoing chief minister has a title and is naturally selected for the national meeting. There are special powers, which are also a redemption policy.
Let the chief assistants be willing to retreat peacefully.
And with the title, the families of these chief ministers are included in the ranks of nobles. This can be regarded as adding fresh blood to the nobles to fight against the future bureaucracy.
It can also be regarded as a means to ensure the imperial power.
Of course, this is just a draft.
In the foreseeable future, Zhu Xiongying will probably be the last emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and at most the third from the last emperor with real power.
After all, the battle for power always only comes first. King's power and Prime Minister's power
The absolute balance is difficult to master. Relatively balanced is very easy. That is to say, the power of the prime minister exceeds the power of the king.
This is the future trend. It’s just that many things require a process.
If He Xi ignores Zhu Xiongying now. On the contrary, it is not beautiful. In the future, many people will discover that the emperor is actually a hindrance. Naturally, someone will take issue.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang established so many systems to protect the monarchy, but in the end, the emperor was still ignored.
And the system formulated by He Xi was aimed at Xu Jun in his heart. The end is also natural.
He Xi returned from his title and said, "Okay. Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Princess Anqing suddenly sighed and said, "Husband, how about you take in some concubines? Have more children. There are still too few children in the family now."
He Xi said: "What are you talking about? Sleep."
He Xi felt that two sons were enough to give me a headache. But Princess Anqing doesn’t think so.
He Xi and Princess Anqing are both approaching forty years old. But He Xi's forty years old is completely different from Princess Anqing's forty years old.
He Xi grew up in modern times, and in an ancient environment, he was considered pampered. Although these years have been busy, it has also been the top living environment in Ming Dynasty. The amount of money I have to live on every year is about 10,000 taels.
It can be called extravagant.
It's just that He Xi's extravagance is different from the so-called extravagance of this era.
He Xi just wanted to recreate some life scenes for later generations.
Therefore, He Xi's health has always been very good. Princess Anqing is not as good as He Xi in this regard. But it's not bad either. But a man is still a handsome old guy at the age of forty. He Xi has gained a certain magnanimity through years of experience. But Princess Anqing can't. ..
Although Princess Anqing has many things, she does not have modern cosmetics.
Yes. Many ageless beauties in modern times must thank modern technology for the development of the beauty industry, otherwise they would not be what they are.
Princess Anqing, who is nearly forty years old, already looks a little old. Of course, any woman in her forties can be called an old woman. But Princess Anqing felt a little ashamed in front of He Xi.
This is also the reason why many men have beautiful concubines around them when they are old.
When she was young, Princess Anqing cared about many things.
Now she doesn't care much.
Her two sons have grown up, and He Yuansi is almost at the age of intercession. She may become a grandmother in a few years. As long as He Xi's inheritance rights are guaranteed to be in the hands of her two sons, she can let go of other matters.
What's more, in her opinion, with He Xi's power, the He family has too few men. Princess Anqing even felt that this was probably the reason why He Xi did not attack the highest power.
The He family does not have enough men to maintain the highest power. Maybe after one or two generations, they will become orphans and widowers. By then, it will not be as good as the current situation.
Therefore, no matter what, if the He family has more boys and more children, it is a prosperous family.
However, He Xi agreed or not. Princess Anqing doesn't care, because apart from him, the key to this matter actually lies with Princess Anqing. The male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. He Xi didn't care much about matters in the inner courtyard.
Even the women around He Xi. It is also Princess Anqing who is in charge.
These women did not give birth to children, although He Xi was unwilling and did not nod. But it was also Princess Anqing’s method. Princess Anqing is a woman, and women can often be duplicitous.
Now Princess Anqing only needs to relax restrictions. Before He Xi knew it, having a few more children was a piece of cake.
He Xi didn't know that Princess Anqing had such thoughts. He was already drifting off to sleep.
-------
The next day, He Xi finished her official duties and returned home very early in the afternoon. This is a rare time for He Xi in so many years.
After all, there are so many important events in the imperial court
No more.
Almost half of the world's affairs are decided by He Xi. How could He Xi not be busy?
He Xi also took time out today to have a good talk with He Yuansi. Let's see what this kid wants to do in the future. After all, fifteen or sixteen years old is not young anymore.
He Xi felt it was inappropriate for him to become an official now. But He Xi felt that he should also make choices and prepare for his future development direction.
