Vézé sighed with his eyes closed as he leaned against the sofa in his study. If one had to ask for Vézé's evaluation of himself, Vézé felt that he could be considered a model example of "heroes are born without heroes." That was why Vézé was personally opposed to bloodline inheritance. China was a large country that had entered the industrialized era. Bloodline inheritance would probably result in the rapid collapse of the country.
Although a dynasty was a very stable system, it was also a system that could easily become rigid. The larger the country, the more terrifying the rigidity. Before Vézé traveled through time, the people in the second decade of the 21st century were more concerned about the issue of social class rigidity. At least on the internet, it was a hot topic of discussion. If Vézé were to establish a bloodline inheritance system, the rigidity of China would not just be a matter of social concern, but would quickly solidify.
Just as he was thinking about this problem, a visitor arrived. Ruan Xihao and Ke Gongyu entered Vézé's study together. Among the old brothers of the Liberation Army, Wei Changrong was in charge of the Organization Department, which was equivalent to the Minister of Rites in the previous dynasty. Therefore, he had long left the Liberation Army. Now, although the old brothers had not withered, they had begun to retire in large numbers. Among the previous group of representatives, Ruan Xihao and Ke Gongyu were the only ones who were still alive. In the next few years, they would continue to be active in the central government. Between the two of them, seniority had to be discussed. Ke Gongyu was in front, and Ruan Xihao was behind.
The two sat in front of Vézé, and Ke Gongyu said, "Commander-in-chief, Wei Rui has performed well in his work. He's been my student twice, so I can still judge people. "
Even if it was praise for his son, even if it was not flattery, Vézé still did not want to hear it. Ruan Xihao's speech yesterday had shaken the Central Committee. The Crown Prince had always been considered the foundation of the country. The Military Governor Of Vaize was assassinated. This meant that the problem was not that the Military Governor Of Vaize was incompetent, but who was the successor of the Military Governor Of Vaize. No one thought that the Military Governor Of Vaize would be killed by a b * stard, but the Military Governor Of Vaize was not a god. He would eventually die. If something happened to the Military Governor Of Vaize, where would the Min dynasty go? As long as the Crown Prince was appointed, all the problems would be solved. In the eyes of ordinary people in the Min dynasty, it was a very normal thing for a son to inherit his father's business. Moreover, Wei Rui was the eldest son of Vézé's first wife, so there was no problem from a traditional point of view. Therefore, the Central Committee members all believed that it was only natural to appoint a Crown Prince at this time. Had it not been for Vézé's personal affairs, these people would have voted on it. There were even some members who were not afraid of making things worse and suggested a vote.
Vézé felt that this was too much. Deciding whether Vézé would be the Crown Prince or not depended on a vote, then wouldn't it be better for everyone to honestly vote for the chairman? Therefore, Vézé could only deny the matter with the excuse of "a nameless gangster scared everyone to this extent." However, things were not as simple as Vézé thought. Now it was Ruan Xihao and Ke Gongyu who were discussing this matter together.
Trying to figure out what the two were thinking, Vézé felt that they probably thought that it was necessary for him to show his loyalty to Vézé. Vézé first threw a cigarette to each of them, and after everyone lit it up, he said, "What do you mean by brothers? It means that we are brothers and you will not suspect that I have evil intentions, and I will not suspect that you have evil intentions. Doesn't everyone think that this makes sense? "
Ruan Xihao and Ke Gongyu could not help but look at each other. Since Vézé had said it so clearly, it was likely that what he was going to say would be "unpleasant to the ears" at the very least. However, since Vézé had already expressed his goodwill, the two of them were naturally mentally prepared. Ke Gongyu said, "I will only listen to you in this lifetime. If you have anything to say, just say it to us old brothers." Following closely behind Ke Gongyu, Ruan Xihao also said, "I will listen to you, Governor."
"Why does Sima Ji want to do this? Have you ever thought about it?" Vézé threw out this question first. His old brothers were not born in official families, nor had they received a systematic Confucian education. Therefore, they acted according to their nature and tradition, which was why there were very interesting results. If Vézé had established a feudal dynasty, those who dared to make such a suggestion would probably not end up well. Meddling in the affairs of a royal heir, and using a scientific attitude similar to that of an industrialized society. Under a feudal system, if he didn't kill them, who else would he kill? Appointing people based on merit was true, but the foundation of appointing people based on merit was a basic social system that treated everyone equally. Under a feudal system, there was no such foundation.
Of course, Vézé did not expect these two old brothers to understand this, and they had no way of understanding this problem. After listening to Vézé's question, they appeared to be deep in thought. Sima Ji's case was not complicated at all, but because of his own reasons, Sima Ping had scolded Sima Ji, causing him to lose his position immediately. It was normal for a son to think for his father, so Sima Ji believed that if he got rid of Vézé, the central government would fall into chaos, and then no one would be able to support Sima Ping's political enemies. As long as his father continued to be the secretary of the provincial party committee in Shanxi, everything could continue. As Sima Ping's son, Sima Ji could continue to enjoy everything that he thought he deserved in Shanxi.
A portion of the people in the central government were furious. This dog shit Sima Ji was treating himself as a local tyrant! Creating chaos in the central government was only to ensure the Sima Clan's status. This bastard's guts made quite a few central committee members want to skin him alive.
Of course, there were also some old brothers who were uneasy about this. They opposed Sima Ji's actions, but as long as it didn't affect the stability of the central government, they naturally hoped that their children and families would be able to enjoy eternal peace and be nobles for generations.
Vézé had said something that many people did not want to hear, so the two old brothers could only "fall into deep thought." If Vézé could stop bringing up this topic, even if Ruan Xihao had to tilt his head 45 degrees and sigh at life, Ruan Xihao felt that he would do it.
"Governor, I've been observing Wei Rui for a long time. A person like Sima Ji isn't even fit to carry Wei Rui's shoes. " Ke Gongyu ignored Ruan Xihao's contemplation. It was unknown whether he was feigning ignorance or actually being stupid, but Ke Gongyu expressed his attitude.
Are you going to stand up for the Crown Prince? Vézé was extremely displeased. Vézé even felt a sense of mockery in his heart. Not to mention that these people were willing to stand up for the Crown Prince, even if they were unwilling, would they dare not stand up for the Crown Prince if Wei Ze ordered them to stand up for him? Vézé couldn't help but suspect that these people had a common goal.
Since he was in a bad mood, Vézé spoke very bluntly. "I have my own arrangements for Wei Rui's matter. Sima Ji's matter is also an isolated case, and I believe that most of the sons and daughters of my old brothers will not have such foolish thoughts. Sima Ji wants to divide the land and become a feudal lord, and now you mention the Crown Prince. I feel very displeased when you mention these two matters together. "
"Governor, if you are displeased, I will not mention this matter again. At the time, I only felt very uneasy and felt that if the Crown Prince was elected, everyone would feel at ease. "Ruan Xihao immediately replied. It wasn't easy for him to get rid of Vézé's suspicions, so Ruan Xihao immediately took advantage of this opportunity. The Governor could definitely use Sima Ping's matter to harp on the evil deeds of the second generation officials. This was what his old brothers were worried about. Which family didn't use their power to seek benefits for themselves? Sima Ji's foolishness was rare, but it wasn't rare for one's own children to do such things. Reorganizing was never limited to a single point. The reason why Ruan Xihao could summon so many people was not because Ruan Xihao had such great influence. It was because everyone was worried about the same thing as Ruan Xihao.
Vézé didn't want to go overboard. He said to Ruan Xihao with a straight face, "I'll say it again. It's those scum who are afraid of us, not the other way around. It's just because those scum are courting death that we are scared of them. That only means that we are scum ourselves. In the past, we dominated the world. Now, my old brothers, you can't sully our names! "
After sending off Ruan Xihao and Ke Gongyu, Wei Kun, who had just returned home, came to see Vézé with his head hung low. "Father, I got to know that Sima Ji and even drank with him..."
Vézé was furious. He interrupted his son, "Go and gather everyone in the living room. I have something to say."
All the wives and children at home were gathered in the living room. Vézé asked everyone to sit down. He sat in the middle and said unhappily, "I've known many people in my life. Of course, there are good people, but there are also many bad people. It's not like I've never called a bad guy my brother or even knelt before him. This doesn't affect me at all. I, Vézé, am what kind of person I am. Whether I'm good or bad, it's up to others to judge. Wei Kun did know a scum and drank with him. This was the truth. There was nothing to talk about. Wei Kun learned from this experience. He knew that it was better to avoid some people. That was a lesson he had to learn in his life. However, I won't allow anyone to talk about this at home. "
Li Yifang and Wei Kun perked up when they heard this. Qi Hongyi, on the other hand, looked up at the sky, looking noncommittal.
Seeing this, even though Vézé repeatedly told himself that conflicts would never erupt in an instant, he still couldn't get rid of the displeasure in his heart.
