On the morning of clear and quiet wind, Yuwen Wen rode a bicycle with Huang Sun Yu and Wen Xu in the Imperial Garden and competed by the way. The content of the competition was to see who rode slowly and whoever touched the ground first would lose.

The bike must move to maintain balance. The slower the speed, the more difficult it is to maintain balance.

It is obvious that the young emperor's grandson is not as strong or experienced as Yu Wen Wen. After competing several times in succession, they all ended in failure.

Yuwen Wen would not compromise because of taking care of his grandson's self-esteem. Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red and he wanted to fall off the car, he smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If you lose, come again, and if you lose, come again. After practicing for a long time, you will naturally be able to hold on to the car."

Yu Wenxu was so angry that his playmates always gave in to him. Seeing that he lost again and again, he did not dare to fall a car in front of his grandfather. In addition, he was unwilling to accept that he continued the competition.

Yuwen Wen still didn't give in. He won three times in a row, and finally made his grandson cry.

Yu Wenxu sat directly on the ground to wipe his tears. The eunuchs accompanied him retreated. Yu Wen Wen sat next to his grandson and looked at the blue sky calmly.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yu Wenxu had enough cry, so Yu Wen Wen asked: “Do you know why this bicycle doesn’t fall when it moves?”

Yu Wenxu calmed down his emotions and replied: "It's because the wheels are spinning."

"Then why doesn't the bicycle fall down when the wheels rotate?"

"It is the principle of gyro. The rotating gyro forms a centrifugal force, allowing the gyro to form a stable force on an axis..."

Yuwen Xu received a lot of education, so he can tell why the bicycle will not fall when it moves. He also knows that when the bicycle turns, if the handlebars are not turning, the rider can also tilt the body to tilt the body, and then realize the steering (turn to the tilting side).

Yuwen Wen was very satisfied when he heard his grandson speak well. He praised him. Yuwen Xu was praised by his grandfather and was in a much better mood. The grievances that had just been defeated one after another disappeared without realizing it.

After hearing that his grandfather wanted to time him and see how fast it was to ride a bicycle around the Imperial Garden, Yu Wenxu immediately became energetic, checked his helmet, hand guards, and elbow guards, and worked hard.

Several eunuchs also finished wearing them and pushed their bicycles to ride with them.

Yuwen Wen blew his whistle, pressed the stopwatch button, and watched his grandson ride out like an "arrow away from the string", breathed a sigh of relief and sat under the shade of the tree beside him.

Looking at his grandson's back as he drifted away, he was full of thoughts.

In the future... In the future, if the grandson becomes the emperor, will he be a wise king, a foolish king, or a tyrant?

When the imperial power is strengthened to an unprecedented level, no one can confront the emperor, then the emperor's words and deeds rely entirely on his own morality and values. Once the emperor has poor self-control, everything will be done.

The emperor likes to do woodworking, write calligraphy and painting, play various role-playing, likes to spend time and drink, likes to play with women, but he doesn't like to deal with the government. What should I do?

Let it go, let it go.

This is the risk that must be faced after the imperial power has been concentrated to a certain extent. The prince and grandson who rely on reincarnation to become emperors may be an excellent poet, calligrapher, painter, and skilled expert, but not a suitable emperor.

It would be fine if it was a tyrant, or if it was a tyrant, or similar to those perverted emperors during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it would be really incompatible with the law of nature if this dynasty fails to perish.

So, will such people appear among my descendants?

This is something that is simply unpredictable. After all, under absolute power, the unscrupulous emperor does not need to be afraid of anything.

If you like a woman, you will like it. Even if the other person is a married woman, a foreigner, a royal family woman, a little mother, and a daughter-in-law, you will be fine.

If you like to kill people, then you will torture the ministers, or go out of the palace with your minions, wander around the streets, and kill people at random.

Being an emperor is of course in power and no one can restrain him. But if there is a problem with the emperor, everything will be done.

Yuwen Wen did not want the emperor to do whatever he wanted. He could control the evil thoughts in his heart, which did not mean that his children and grandchildren could do it. However, death is like a lamp that goes out. After his death, he can't control or control his descendants' "doing".

The shouts started, and Yuwen Wen looked over and saw that his grandson had appeared from the other end of the road on a bicycle. When Yuwen Xu rode his bike past, Yuwen Wen pressed the stopwatch button.

Yuwen Xu's speed did not decrease, so he continued to ride the bike and rode the second lap. Yuwen Wen continued to sit under the tree and ponder.

Trains, steamships, and telegrams have appeared. The traditional system of royal family vassal kings leaving the town has expired and there is no need. Then, the "battlefield" of royal family vassal kings protecting the imperial power can only be in the capital.

The royal family held important positions in Beijing and constrained political forces from all parties, which was the "politics of the clan king (the royal family and the vassal king)".

The ending of the sect king's politics is either the emperor purges the royal family, or the royal family takes office and becomes emperor, and after becoming emperor, they purge the royal family.

Therefore, the politics of the clan kings will inevitably lead to internal strife in the clan, which is an inevitable outcome, and history has proved this.

So for Yuwen Wen, how can he enable his sons to live in peace after their death and support each other if necessary?

If the vassal state is enthroned, it can only be aimed at expanding territory. The emergence of railways will inevitably lead to the unprecedented expansion of the territory of the Central Plains dynasty. If the vassal state is actually enthroned, the vassal state will inevitably be in the distant "outside land" and cannot be in the Central Plains.

Where is the distant "outside"?

Central Asia, Australia, America, etc.

Distance produces beauty, and distance makes the Emperor Chang'an not feel that the brothers and uncles who were enfeoffed were threatened, and they may be able to live in peace with each other.

But the princes cannot be enfeoffed, because once there is a problem with the imperial family, such as the young emperor ascends the throne, at least there must be helpers nearby to settle the market.

However, the vassal kings who stayed in Chang'an Town must have certain power. In this way, they may become threats to the imperial power and will not die well.

The shouts started again, Yu Wenxu rode his bike and started the third lap. After Yu Wen recorded the time, he continued to think.

Trains, steamships, and telegraphs appeared, and the development of science has accelerated. After two or three generations, the economic structure of the Central Plains will inevitably change drastically, and the superstructure (political system) will also change.

The new forces must extend their hands to power, have the right to speak and make decisions, and gradually the call for constitutional monarchy will become higher and higher.

However, the imperial power that had been fighting against the prime minister for thousands of years would not be willing to give up power, and the emperor who had great power would not be willing to give up power.

After the contradictions intensified, the situation developed according to two lines: First, Britain's glorious revolution, the monarch and the upstart compromised each other, and the constitutional monarchy emerged.

Second, in the French Revolution, the royal family went to the guillotine, and the Republic appeared.

Yuwen Wen thought of this and rubbed his temples. Since he had let the train appear more than a thousand years in advance, then, no matter whether he wanted it or not, he would live another two or three generations. The industrial age was coming, and similar calls for constitutional monarchy would definitely appear one after another.

Two or three generations have passed, and such calls are getting louder and louder. If he was the emperor at that time, he would certainly compromise because he did not think this was wrong. On the contrary, this is the only choice to ensure a good end to the royal family when facing the historical trend.

But his children and grandchildren may not realize this, so they cannot compromise.

So, do we need to prepare for the future and “warm up” the constitutional monarchy?

Yuwen Wen felt it was impossible, because it would be too early to prepare for things five or six generations later.

The current situation is that the manor economy and the aristocratic politics built on it have not yet disappeared, and the stability of the imperial power has not even reached the level of the Song Dynasty.

The so-called feudal monarchy has not yet been stabilized, and the new bourgeoisie has no shadow. If there is any constitutional monarchy, it will only transform into aristocratic politics.

What is the difference between this and aristocratic politics? It doesn’t mean that it is too aggression?

Yuwen Wen thought about this problem seriously, and he could only try his best to make arrangements for the peaceful coexistence of his children and grandchildren in the future, and came up with some solutions for this.

The key point lies in the usage of the royal family.
