Chapter 856 The Taiyuan Wang family is not easy to mess with!(1/2)

 This person is the little eunuch who follows the current Queen Mother, Wang Gong’s sister, Wang Zhenying!

"Prince Prime Minister, please follow your servants into the palace. The Queen Mother has invited you."

Um!

Sure enough, it was my little sister who wanted to meet.

Wang Gong tidied up a little and then went happily.

Very good!

It's true that I haven't seen my sister for some days. I should take this opportunity to explain my arrangements for the future.

yes!

Account.

In Wang Gong's thoughts, between him and his sister, of course he is the leader, and the sister can only listen to him.

Vaguely, Wang Gong also felt that he looked down on his sister.

And this kind of contempt is not directed at any one person, but at the entire female group.

As for women, everyone knows that it is normal for them to have long hair and short knowledge. What reliable knowledge can you have?

This was not because Wang Gong deliberately made things difficult, but in his view, since women could not participate in the politics of the previous dynasty, they would not be able to form a stable thinking pattern and make judgments based on the ideas of the ministers of the previous dynasty.

And there is no experience, just like my sister Wang Zhenying. Not long ago, she was a cold palace queen who was stubborn and refused to get close to her emperor.

He spent the whole day sulking in the harem, but he didn't bother to fight.

It is of course impossible for such a person to suddenly take charge of the government.

A counter-example is the later Queen of Heaven, Her Majesty Wu Zetian.

Wu Meiniang later became emperor. Although her achievements were not as good as those of her ex-husband, she could still be called a meritorious monarch in the long history.

Why can she do things that other women cannot?

In addition to her outstanding personal abilities, of course there are also environmental factors.

One is that Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, has been suffering from hereditary high blood pressure that has become increasingly serious since he was in his forties. He would become dizzy if he moved even slightly faster. Later, he even developed to the point where he could no longer see, and the memorials placed in front of him were all blurry.

Yes, I can't see clearly.

What to do?

Although his physical condition was so bad, the emperor still wanted to continue to be the emperor, so he could only hand over more power to his wife Wu Meiniang.

Therefore, almost under Li Zhi's step-by-step teaching and with him as her backer, Wu Meiniang began to be exposed to the intrigues in the court very early.

By the time Li Zhi passed away, Wu Meiniang had been in charge of the government for more than ten years. Of course, she was proficient in all kinds of affairs and was fully capable of controlling them.

However, there is only one such lucky woman in history.

This is because Li Zhi himself was also a relatively accomplished monarch, and what he taught Wu Meiniang was also the correct concept of governing the country.

If her husband is an incompetent emperor with an empty head, even if Wu Meiniang is given such an opportunity, she may not be able to manage the court well.

Back to reality, let’s take a look at our Queen Mother.

The level of the emperor Sima Yao was certainly not comparable to that of Li Zhi. In addition, before this year, Wang Zhenying had never shown any signs of being interested in the politics of the previous dynasty.

Her character is just to endure all kinds of oppression from Zhang Guiren.

Wang Zhenying has been living like this for several years, and now, you make Wang Gong believe that the girl who has always endured the humiliation can actually rise up and become a female Machiavellian. How is this possible?

However, for Wang Gong, the harem controlled by a girl is also very important.

This is not only reflected in the matter of mastering Sima Dezong, but also the more important point is that Wang Zhenying is the queen of the Sima family.

Regardless of whether she admits it or not, and regardless of whether Sima Yaotong, who has already been buried, agrees or not, judging from the current situation, this is the case.

Ancient people ruled the world with filial piety, so under this logical thinking, although Wang Zhenying did not have children of her own, it didn't matter. According to Sima Dezong, her little Wang was also an elder.

Since you are an elder, you need to be respected.

In ancient ethics, women are not taken seriously, but mothers are taken seriously. Moreover, there is a difference between mother and mother.

In the Jin Dynasty, a society that pays great attention to family background, even if Wang Zhenying, who was born in a wealthy family, was not Sima Dezong's biological mother, her status was still higher than that of Sima Dezong's biological mother.

In other words, under the premise that Wang Zhenying, the former Queen Mother, existed in the harem, in order to secure the throne, even Sima Dezong's own mother had to look at Wang Zhenying's face.

Because, although Sima Dezong is the only descendant of Sima Yao, he still will not be supported without the support of the aristocratic family.

And what about the aristocratic family?

Of course the calculation is the same.

Since the emergence of the aristocratic family, their ancestors have maintained the good habit of acting as royal parasites.

We don't want to be emperor at all. Although our family has great business and widespread influence, we have no interest in being emperor at all.

We are only interested in controlling the royal family, and we are highly skilled and well versed in this.

No matter how hard it sounds, in fact, the family has grown to this day, where will it suffer?

That little abacus was calculated very shrewdly.

Although being an emperor has great power, it also carries great risks, especially in troubled times like the late Jin Dynasty, when the court was weak and there was nothing enviable.

However, the pressure on the royal family is also very huge.

The main reason is that the imperial court at this time was generally divided, the territory it ruled was not large, and the royal family did not control many resources.

The allure of being an emperor is really rare for children of aristocratic families.

However, it is different for a large family that controls the emperor.

It can effectively avoid the dangers of being an emperor. What dangers are there?

Is it dangerous to be an emperor?

Many people will definitely have such doubts, whether the family cannot become emperor and are just bluffing.

No, no.

Regardless of the demeanor, behavior, and humility those children from aristocratic families always preach, in fact, they are the most practical and love fighting for power and gain.

Those boasts are just pretentious gestures after they have taken all the power into their own hands.

It's just a lie.

Anyone who believes it is a fool.

In fact, most of the children of real aristocratic families are good at chasing fame and fortune. If they are not good at it, how can they maximize their own interests?

At the same time, can we also concoct our own value system that makes the family noble and the first class?

As a result, the situation of a flowing royal family and an iron-clad aristocratic family emerged.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the imperial courts of various sizes have been replaced like a revolving door, but they have not been able to damage the foundation of the family.

As a child of a big family, you can monopolize many interests within the scope of your empire, and you can also gain a greater reputation than a child of the royal family. So who wants to be the emperor?

It's not necessary.

Being an emperor is so tiring.

Wherever the children of our aristocratic family are free and easy and want to fight for power and profit, we should select suitable candidates from the family to participate.

As long as there are some capable people in each generation who are willing to stand up and work hard for the family, then the remaining children will not be troubled by these mundane things.

Pretend to be X.

Celebrities and elegant scholars who are passionate about landscapes...

Who wouldn’t like that kind of life of eating, drinking, writing poems and courting prostitutes?

Who doesn’t pursue it?

Therefore, under the premise that such a set of procedures has been operated very proficiently, the children of the aristocratic family no longer have the motivation to pursue a higher position.

In other words, for the children of the aristocratic family, in this era, their status is much more noble than that of the children of the royal family.

We are already the most noble people in this society, why should we bother to be emperors?

It's not in line with our pursuit at all, okay?

However, if a court is controlled by only a few aristocratic families, its structure will be relatively loose and cannot be brought together.

Therefore, we need such a name to rally the team.

Royal families like the Sima family came into being.

The aristocratic families respect the royal family, and the royal family also delegates local power to the aristocratic families. This is such a cooperative model.

Over the years, it has been tried and true.

Therefore, in Wang Gong's barren mind, he could not understand at all, nor could he imagine that Wang Mi would covet the throne.

Why do you want to be an emperor?
