The King of Qi has no children, and the son of the King of Wei is also young. Moreover, the King of Wei is a sinner, so how can this one inherit the throne?

Only the son of the former King of Chu was of the right age, often raised in the palace, familiar with government affairs, able to grasp important secrets, and had outstanding talents. Therefore, the emperor insisted that the emperor's eldest grandson inherit the Dashun empire.

Regarding the final succession of the Chu branch, one of the most widely circulated inferences in later generations is that it was a conspiracy by a group of female officials in the inner court.

Because the emperor's eldest grandson has often lived in the palace in recent years, it is said that he has had ambiguous dealings with many female officials in the inner court and has a close relationship. It was some of the female officials who took advantage of being close to the water and had a subtle influence on the elderly emperor, so that the son of the former king of Chu was ignored by everyone.

stand out.

However, some people believe that the main reason why the emperor's eldest grandson succeeded him was that Shizu was very dissatisfied with King Yan, King Han and others.

Because these princes were already very close to many private gentry and merchant groups at that time, in the last few years of the Sezu Dynasty, Li Laiheng had the intention to rectify the gentry and merchant groups, but was limited by the increasingly fierce battle for the right to inherit the throne and the emperor's energy.

Unable to support it, the matter was dropped.

But no matter whether the King of Qi or the King of Wei comes to power in the end, he will definitely take action against certain gentry and merchant groups that have over-expanded their power.

Only King Yan, King Han and other princes who were not destined to inherit the throne were mostly involved in gentry and business activities and were not liked by the ancestors.

As for the emperor's eldest grandson, when the King of Chu persuaded the emperor to pardon the textile workers of the Songjiang Uprising, he was already seriously ill and was punished by the emperor to stand under the palace gate for a day and night. He died of illness, so the emperor's eldest son, Sun Runshi, stood there all the time.

from the standpoint of safeguarding the interests of textile workers.

Some people also believe that it is precisely because of the position that the emperor's eldest grandson has insisted on for many years that Shizu believed that his succession would change the trend of Shizu's connivance and indulgence of big industrialists during the dynasty and play a role in stabilizing the country.

Suddenly the emperor's eldest grandson was appointed as the crown prince.

In short, there was a lot of controversy over this matter, and at that time many people believed that the emperor's eldest grandson was young, his seniority was at odds with him, and he lacked connections among his ministers and elders, so he might not be able to secure the throne, and the country of Dashun was in danger of being shaken.

But later facts proved that these people were all wrong. The emperor's grandson was not another Zhu Yunqi. He was very clever, and he also got the full support of the eldest princess Li Huirou, who was very powerful in the court. He not only defeated Su Lao, but also changed his mind.

He reformed the people and stopped the large-scale foreign wars during the Tianfa period.

From then on, the Shun Dynasty entered a period of internal reorganization that lasted for decades. After more than 20 years of recuperation and recuperation during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, Dashun entered a new era of pioneering and conquest during the period of Emperor Gaozong.

He consolidated his rule over Nanyang, and took the leading position in the war against Demier. He successively captured Sanyuzi and Hezhong areas, and went straight into Afghanistan, forming a pincer attack on the Demier Empire from the east and west.

In the New World, the exile policy of the Shizu Dynasty was completely stopped. The imperial court began to organize large-scale official immigration groups to Qingqiu Prefecture. The peaceful scene in the mainland for decades caused the population to multiply, and the contradiction between man and land became acute again.

The immigration activities to the New World continued continuously, and at the same time, the immigration activities to the Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast Asia were also called "crossing the Guandong, taking the west entrance, going to the Southeast Asia, and migrating to the East".

The implementation of the immigration movement in the late Sezu Dynasty and the two dynasties of Xiaozong and Gaozong finally completely changed the ethnic composition of the world, making the New World a mixed continent with a great fusion of Eastern and Western ethnic groups, and also enabled Nanyang to gradually realize the transformation of counties.

The entire face of the world was completely changed by the great immigration movement of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

But this brought a huge price to the Shun Dynasty. By the Dezong Dynasty, the inland provinces had experienced a sharp rise in Labor Day prices due to extremely serious population outflows. A large number of fertile fields were abandoned without cultivation, and many factories were recruiting

Not enough suitable workers.

After a ticket fraud case, a large number of bank accounts went bankrupt in the Jiangnan area, which soon expanded into a wave of bankruptcies sweeping across the mainland. Currency deflation, falling exchange rates, overproduction, unsalable goods, rising labor prices, factory closures...

Countless problems came one after another during the Dezong Dynasty. The first economic crisis in the Shun Dynasty came fiercely and quickly. Many unemployed workers first smashed factories on a large scale, and later became a textile workers' rebellion that spread to eight provinces.

The imperial court spent three years suppressing the Spinners' Rebellion. After that, Emperor Dezong realized that the excessive differentiation of economic development among the provinces, prefectures, and overseas territories of Shun Dynasty, as well as the centrifugalism of overseas colonies, had already caused great harm to Dashun.

After the worry of national subjugation was over, new reforms began.

The reform history of the Dezong Dynasty is called Jinou Genghua. This reform aimed to strengthen the connection between the Shun Dynasty's inland and various overseas territories, and strengthen the dumping intensity and market size of Shun Dynasty's goods in various overseas territories, forming a unique

Imperial System of Preferences.

The mainland and various overseas territories joined forces to give each other preferential treatment in trade and exclude foreign goods.

The imperial court granted tax-free or tax-reduced preferential treatment to imported goods from Dashun's overseas territories, and levied high tariffs on raw materials and agricultural products imported from foreign countries;

Dashun's overseas territories offer tax reductions to industrial products imported from the mainland, and at the same time increase the tariff rates on goods imported from foreign countries.

This preferential system maintained Dashun's gradual transformation into an alienated overseas empire, allowing this huge colonial system to continue into modern times.

It was not until the national independence consciousness of the overseas territories fully flourished, and Dashun itself was suffering from internal and external troubles and civil wars that continued to break out, that most of the overseas territories were proactively allowed to establish independent countries.

Among the many territories, only Qingqiu gained independence through the War of Independence. The rest of the territories were gradually allowed to be autonomous and independent after consultations between Dashun and the territorial governorate.

Therefore, even in modern times, China still maintains close and friendly alliances with many countries that developed from its territories.

The Imperial System of Preferences had been canceled when the first republican revolution broke out in the Shun Dynasty. However, many of its institutional remnants continued for a long time, and even developed into the Tempo Prefecture Coordinating Committee during the Cold War, forming a counter-insurgency system.

The red country headed by the Myer People's Federation is an international organization that implements embargoes and trade restrictions.

A series of unilateral restrictive organizations headed by the Tempofu Coordinating Committee later became the main diplomatic weapon used by the blue camp to restrict the development of the People's Federation, and seriously hindered the technological progress of the People's Federation.
