On the street, Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji who were on a tour in a squad intimacy turned into passers-by, walking leisurely on the street, talking while walking, relaxing, but the content of the conversation was not easy.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for my frankness that no matter how good the system is, it must be implemented by people. Human nature is always about seeking profit and avoiding harm."

"Give an example."

"For example, the Tongguan defeat during the Anshi Rebellion of Li Tang."

"I'll be poisoned as soon as I start. How can I answer this?"

Yuwen Wen shook off the folding fan with a "pop", walked casually while shaking the fan, and said, "I have done my best. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, what if they care?"

Yuwen Wen's attitude was very direct, and Yang Ji understood in his heart: "So that's it, I understand."

During this period, the emperor reformed the system, established a house of censors in Menxia Province, and a Hanlin Academy and a Privy Council in the Secretariat Province. He said that the system was to be improved. Yang Ji said so now, which is a blunt advice.

But since the emperor knew it, Yang Ji couldn't say more.

"To be honest." Yuwen Wen looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and his face was calm: "A person dies like a lamp that goes out, his eyes turn black, and he will no longer be aware of it. If the descendants do things out of style, what can I do?"

"Xuanzong's reputation is so famous that he is old and his later years are not safe. In the Battle of Tongguan, Geshuhan had to defend himself and wait for the situation in Hebei to improve. At that time, the rebel retreat was cut off by the Tang army and he would collapse without fighting. The Anshi Rebellion would end early, and the world would not be boiling, and the Kaiyuan prosperous era would never be gone."

"What is Xuanzong anxious about? It's very simple. Yang Guozhong told him that Geshuhan might be suspected of having self-respecting troops and supporting the prince, so this person couldn't sit still and forced Geshuhan to fight to the decisive battle. After the war, he would withdraw his military power. What was the result? He was defeated in a mess."

"You are right. No matter how good the system is, it must be implemented by others. Even if there are many famous ministers and generals in the dynasty, no one can stop it if the emperor makes a fool of himself. In order to cater to the superiors, a large number of people who are interested in the system will be regarded as a joke."

"But that's their business. I'm no longer alive by then, so what can I do?"

Yuwen Wen's attitude is to "do his best and leave his destiny." The system he has worked hard to build. If future generations do whatever they want, then these systems are paper houses and are useless.

The deadlock of the feudal dynasty lies in the emperor, and no one can control it, so the emperor is the biggest instability factor.

If someone can control the emperor, then sooner or later this person will replace him and become an emperor, so all kinds of systems will be basically unable to resist the imperial power that will do whatever he wants.

The emperor has talent, vision and self-control, but it would be fine. If he meets a naughty child, even if his business is not defeated, he will be squandered to nothing.

Yuwen Wen is actually a little sad when he says this to Yang Ji. He dies like a lamp that goes out. No matter how capable he is, he will not be able to interfere with the behavior of his children and grandchildren after his death.

However, he still had hope, that was to rely on interest groups rather than loyal ministers to constrain the emperor.

Interest groups are groups composed of countless people. They can be said to be illusory, but they are real. No matter how sharp the sword of imperial power is, it can cut off at most a few heads. It is extremely difficult to eradicate the interest groups.

However, interest groups are not easy to associate with. Improper control will not only hurt people, but also can also eat people.

The Shanxi merchants and Southeastern gentry in the late Ming Dynasty could sell their national interests for their own interests. Watching the country and the people fell into the abyss, but they could talk loudly and welcome the new master.

So, how to handle the relationship between imperial power and interest groups?

Yuwen Wen has his own opinion, that is, institutionalized power game, and the emperor tries to achieve win-win results with interest groups through political compromise, rather than losing money.

Of course, people or interest groups who do not follow the rules of the game must have the ability to eliminate them, otherwise the authority of the rules will not be guaranteed and no one will take the cabinet seriously.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen introduced a representative system to allow interest groups to have institutionalized power gameplay, participate in central decision-making, and avoid making this game out of control.

Then, these interest groups have effective ways to advocate within the system and protect their own interests, and the possibility of selling their country is relatively reduced.

At the same time, although the emperor had military power, the cost of showing up was too high that he could only compromise. As long as the Central Plains maintained external technical crushing, domestic conflicts could be transferred abroad.

Now, he has formulated a relatively complete political system for the country, which has a high probability of ensuring that the country can survive decades and usher in the arrival of the industrial age.

At that time, the imperial system will be transformed into a constitutional monarchy, and the emperor will become a mascot. No matter how hard he commits his life, he will not be able to disrupt the country.

Powerful ministers can be prime ministers, and they also have great power and institutional guarantees. They do not need to turn against the emperor and have peace between the two sides. This is a summary of the death of powerful ministers and emperors who cannot withstand two tigers since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Of course, if the imperial system is replaced by the republic, there is nothing we can do about it.

Yuwen Wen couldn't tell Yang Ji about this kind of thing. The two of them walked on the street (following a group of casual guards), and walked to the side of the futures exchange.

Changan Futures Exchange can see the market trends of exchanges in various places, and now it can also see the market trends of Huangzhou Stock Exchange, so its lively level is no less than that of Xingzhou Futures Exchange. Yuwen Wen looked at the lively main entrance of the exchange and sighed:

"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. This exchange is similar to a gambling shop. Do you have any luck entering the market?"

"Your Majesty is joking. I don't know anything about futures and stocks. How can I dare to enter?"

"Your property does not require hedging?"

"Your Majesty, this property is always in charge of the lowly people, and the weak ministers don't care."

"You are so comfortable as the shopkeeper who dumped the water..." Yuwen Wen said, stopping, looking at the lively exchange, and then said, "So, what about the future? Your sons split up, your head of the family must set a pre-order, right?"

Yuwen Wen had something in his words, and Yang Ji answered carefully: "Your Majesty, naturally there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Of course, as a father, I cannot be too fond of one or the other."

"There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate... Then do you care about your daughter? If your mother's family doesn't give her some confidence, she will not dare to speak loudly in her in-laws' family. I am different. My daughter and grandson are all good."

"How dare I compare with Your Majesty..."

"No, no, no, your concept has to change. What's wrong with your daughter? My daughter is also your bloodline. Don't... Don't just be timid because of your son-in-law. It's not like a father or a grandfather. It's really inappropriate."

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is right, I must reflect on it..."

"I know, you are not good at managing, but you always have many children. You will always leave some family background for them in the future... "

Yuwen Wen said in a nagging manner that Yang Ji's daughter Yang Nianyun married Li Shimin, the second son of Duke Tang, and now she has given birth to a son for the Li family, and Yang Ji is the grandfather.

Perhaps it was because Yang Ji took into account Yu Wen Wen's impression and did not dare to give his daughter and son-in-law any financial support. Li Shimin has now entered the military academy and stayed in the military academy and only returned home on holidays. Yang Nianyun took his son to live alone in his private life, and Yang Ji rarely visited his daughter.

Basically, his wife Xian sent someone to care about her daughter's well-being, but perhaps because Yang Ji had an explanation, the Yang family had relatively little financial support for her daughter. Yu Wen Wen thought this was too much, so I will give Yang Ji a briefing today.

He didn't need to guard against Li Shimin or be afraid of anything, so he thought that Yang Ji could let go and have normal contact with his daughter and son-in-law.

"I am not a petty person. If you don't love your daughter, you have to love your grandson, right? The sons of Duke Tang have become relatives one after another, and they are not short of this grandson. What about you? How many grandsons do you have? Let your daughter come back and walk around more often, how much money can you spend?"

"Besides, the daughter of the British Duke is having a party with her sisters-in-law. She is tight-fitting, wearing and using anything that is not as good as a sisters-in-law. Isn't this embarrassing your Yang family?"

Yang Ji was not sure if Yuwen Wen was using some "routine" to make a trap for him, so he kept nodding: "Yes, what Your Majesty said is that the empress must reflect on me."

Seeing this person like this, Yuwen Wen was dissatisfied: "Your perfunctory look! Do you think I am old and becoming verbose?"

'You have been so long-winded before...' Yang Ji complained in his heart. Of course, this kind of thing was impossible to say. He said seriously: "Your Majesty has to ask about the family affairs of me. I am so ashamed that I will let my daughter and grandson come back and stay for a few days."

Yuwen Wen glared at him: "How many days will it take?"

Yang Ji immediately changed his words: "Yes, I will let my daughter and grandson come back and stay for a while tomorrow."

"That's right. Your grandson is young and cannot do without his mother. After a few years, you will ask your daughter to go to the palace to pay tribute to the concubines, chat with other foreign wives, have a long experience and make connections."

Hearing this, Yang Ji complained secretly, but had to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, my daughter is not an alien woman..."

"Oh...that's right, your son-in-law is not a high-ranking official and has no title..." Yuwen Wen originally wanted to let go of the ridicule appropriately, but thinking that Yang Ji's situation in this matter was a bit subtle, so he put away his vicious tongue and said, "If you don't make military achievements, you will not be granted a title. This is the system I have set."

"The title of Duke of Tang was naturally passed to the crown prince. Duke of Tang has not led troops to fight in recent years and has no military achievements to protect other sons. Then your son-in-law wants to be awarded the title, he can only rely on himself..."
