Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 706 What does your ambition have to do with me?

People in the royal family all have the uncanny ability to foresee the future.

It's just that under normal circumstances, most of them can only see some fragments.

Only after paying a huge price can one see the whole line clearly and see through the cause and effect before and after.This does not seem to be a simple exchange of equal value, but a must-bearable one to win the trust of the people.

Of course, any intelligent person can deduce the reason behind the fragments of the future that the First Prince saw.

The industrial revolution, the liberation of productive forces, and the development and prosperity of culture all symbolize that more people will get rid of ignorance and be liberated from the land and day-to-day labor.

They will learn to think and gradually ask for more from this society and the country.

When their demands cannot be met, a revolution will break out.

Of course, the future that the eldest prince sees is only a possibility of the future, not an inevitability.

Even with the same transition towards capitalism.

There is still a constitutional monarchy, and even a capital system under the management of the monarch.

In the vast galaxy, the boundless universe, and the endless world, it is not uncommon for civilizations that have reached the peak of technology and productivity to still be managed by the monarchy.

The sound of train tracks rubbing against each other kept ringing in my ears.

The coastline in the distance has been completely blurred into a ball.

The sea tide in the dark also seems to have lost all the activity and surge during the day.

They are entrenched there dimly, like monsters that people fear in their dreams, they seem to swallow anyone who approaches them into the icy tide, and then take them away mercilessly.

"Does Your Majesty know?" Lin Xi asked the First Prince.

This question directly skipped the implied solicitation of the First Prince.

Lin Xi knew very well that just relying on a book, the other party would not come to solicit him personally.

Books are just an excuse.

The real reason is that his current identity is Xiahou Mingde's fifth son, and he is also the son who seems to be the most promising at present.

The eldest prince wants to gain Xiahou Mingde's support.

So Lin Xi must be subdued first.

And Binhai province overlaps with the fiefdom of the third prince. If Xiahou Mingde is subdued, it will be equivalent to check and balance the third prince.

Facing Lin Xi's rhetorical question, the First Prince rang the bell on the table.

Afterwards, a large number of servants brought up sumptuous dishes and drinks.

The dishes are a combination of Chinese and Western, as are the drinks.

Then some beautiful dancers began to dance in the spacious carriage.

These dancers are also a combination of Chinese and Western, and there are many types of dances.

There are even some dances, in Lin Xi's eyes, the style of painting looks a little weird.

It should be an abnormal state presented by the imperfect and incomplete combination of Chinese and Western.

This is clearly intentional.

He is implying that Lin Xi does not resist opening up and development, let alone accepting some good things from the West.

The Xiahou family only rose up after the opening of the age of great navigation.

Therefore, if in the future, the new emperor resists the opening up and the exploration and expansion of the sea, then the interests of the Xiahou family will be greatly damaged.In other words, an emperor who does not refuse to accept foreign culture should be what the Xiahou family expected.

"Father is very clear, but he believes that there are other possibilities. He intends to form a cabinet, and then expand the number of cabinets to more than 1000, involving top people from various industries." The eldest prince said sarcastically, he even completely Not managing his expression, making no secret of his resistance to such a decision.

Any kind of power organization, if more than three people make decisions, it will already become bloated.

And if the cabinet that seems to divide the emperor's rights appears, but has more than 1000 people, then this will be an extremely bloated and incompetent so-called authority.

In the end, their existence is like a fig leaf.

All rights will still go back to the masterful emperor.

The so-called right, most of the time, is the qualification for arbitration.

For example, there is a piece of cake, and three people want to eat it.

The one who divides the cake with a knife has the right.

And the remaining two people were ruled and managed by him.

"Your Majesty's decision is correct." Lin Xi said.

The eldest prince sneered and said: "But it's not decisive enough. After all, the father is still old. Does he have the vigor of his youth? Even if the cabinet has 1000 people, 1 people... as long as it has the name of cutting the imperial power, it will There will always be someone who can take advantage of the situation, take charge of the cabinet, and then virtualize the imperial power."

"But your book gave me inspiration."

"The nobles despise the common people, the common people despise the barbarians, and the mixed-race barbarians are at the bottom. They don't belong to any party and have no affiliation. This is a structure of social spontaneous choice, and we can use this structure. People's rank , to be more specific."

"Society is developing and the times are progressing, but the level that people are born with will not change, because the interests it represents will involve all aspects of the entire country. Everyone is a vested interest and is equivalent to a victim. And the royal family...nobles, standing at the top of this rank, cannot be replaced, nor can they be replaced."

"It only takes 30 years... I only need 30 years, it is enough to build a perfect country, a country that will never be subverted."

Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Xi eagerly, and then said very deeply: "Xia Houzun! Are you willing to help me? Help me together to build such a perfect world."

Lin Xi looked at the First Prince.

He was not at all moved by his bold words and lofty ambitions.

No matter how high-spirited he was, it couldn't cover up the bloody smell and filth in his words.

This filth...even he, a demon, couldn't stand it.

Heavenly demons just eat people's souls.

But what the eldest prince wants is to enslave people's souls from generation to generation.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I may have to live up to your kindness." Lin Xi directly refused, leaving no room for maneuver.

The First Prince had a cold expression on his face.

A few cold servants were already standing at the door.

Judging from their positions, it only took one step for the sword to pierce Lin Xi's chest.

"This place is approaching Yujiao. I heard that there are many Western savages doing evil and making trouble here. Brother Xiahou, please be careful..." The eyes of the eldest prince, hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, looked a little strange.

Instead, Lin Xi laughed loudly: "Your Highness...you have been talking about your ambitions and aspirations from beginning to end, but what does all of this have to do with me?"

"Also... this is Binhai Province, I am Xiahou Zun. My father is Xiahou Mingde..."

"Even Your Majesty, you need to take care of my father's face."

"Before I came, I left a handwritten letter for my eldest brother. Your Highness may wish to guess... what I wrote?"

"Of course, Your Highness doesn't have to believe me. I think I'm just deceiving you... Maybe it's true, but Your Highness... Would you like to take a gamble?"

"After all, I'm just a bastard with some use value."
