124 Birthday feast
Zhu Hekan said, "Okay, father." ”
Zhu Cihong said, "Who are you going to pass the throne to?" ”
Zhu Hekan has a total of 8 sons.
Zhu Hekan said, "The seventh and eighth are too young to think about it, the eldest has been smart since he was a child, and he is the eldest son." He has the support of many ministers of the court, but his personality is floating and too reckless, if the throne is passed to him. Song Zhengzong Zhao Ji Yin Jian is in front, so he will not consider it,
The second child, mean, cruel and tyrannical, is not like a human king.
The third is mediocre.
The fifth child, in the struggle for the throne, hiding, likes to hide in the shadows, secretly instigating his brothers to fight, he thinks I don't know what he is doing secretly. Lack of fairness. So, in the end, the winner of the throne will be the fourth, the sixth, and I have been hesitating between the fourth and the sixth. ”
Zhu Cihong said, "Give them a test, pass your test, whose throne is it, in order to confuse the public, the eldest eliminated in your heart, the second, third, and fifth will also participate in the test." ”
Zhu Hekan said, "I know how to do it." ”
Zhu Cihong said, "In addition, your grandfather Emperor Chongzhen is also very concerned about this matter, the heir is chosen correctly, the Ming Dynasty is a lineage, and the country has been in the country for thousands of years, and it is very troublesome to choose the wrong heir." ”
Zhu Hekan said, "I know. ”
Zhu Cihong said, "Go ahead." ”
......
Zhu Hekan returned to Daming from the spiritual realm.
Gather the eldest to the sixth and say to them, "You are all old, you should be brave enough to do anything." I shared the political affairs for my father. Then he said to the boss, boss, you are very civil, among the princes, you are the best person in Wensu, and you will immediately take the imperial examination and win a scholar for the country. You go to be an associate examiner. ”
The eldest prince said, "Yes, the son will live up to his father's high expectations." ”
Zhu Hekan said to the second child, "Second child, where do you want to go." "Zhu and Kansu don't like this second son, he is brave, competitive, and mean.
The second child said, "I want to go to the army for some training." so as to share the worries of my father. ”
Zhu Hekan was completely disappointed in him. 1. There is courage but no wisdom, and the other princes have immediately realized that the battle for the throne is the most critical, but you are thinking of finding an opportunity to catch the army. What do you want to do?
Learn to become an ancestor, what kind of change will come, and take away the country's brother's country. Let's not talk about whether you can catch the army or not, even if you seize the army, launch the Jingjing Rebellion, send a person from the spiritual realm to the lower realm, and face a monk, hundreds of thousands of troops can be slaughtered in one day.
Zhu Hekan didn't want to give him this opportunity. Skipped him and said to the third child, "The third child, what about you." ”
The third child said, "The son's qualifications are mediocre, embarrassed by the big responsibility, and I am afraid of disappointing my father's high expectations." ”
The fifth child has a lot of thoughts, conspiracies and plots, lacks integrity, is upright, has great ambitions for the big position, and looks at the second and third children. The second child, the lard is blinded, this time it is obviously a test, the performance is the closest to the throne, and the poor performance is not on the throne. The second child couldn't see that this was a test, but he wanted to catch the army, which was really stupid.
still wants the throne, but it was eliminated as soon as possible.
The third child saw that this was a test for his father, knowing that his qualifications were mediocre, and he had no chance to take the throne, so he gave up the competition for the throne.
Zhu Hekan has high hopes for the fourth and sixth sons, who are his preferred heirs to the throne.
The fourth child has a decisive personality,
Lao Liu is benevolent, let him be the emperor, he must be a benevolent monarch like Song Renzong.
Zhu Hekan said, "Fourth, sixth, I will give you a thing, there are two months, it is the 100th birthday of your great-grandfather Emperor Chongzhen, this birthday from the inner treasury out of 1.5 million silver, a big special event, I have decreed that this birthday banquet prohibits local officials from using this birthday banquet to work the people and fatigue the people, and prohibits tribute,
The birthday banquet is organized by you, the fourth, you are specifically responsible for the process of the birthday banquet, the sixth, the birthday banquet invites the monks of the spiritual world to participate, the monks of the spiritual world eat light spiritual food every day, and they want to taste delicious food and wine when they come to the birthday banquet. So, go all over the country to collect precious elixir. Invite national celebrity chefs to hold a birthday banquet, the sixth child, you are responsible for this matter. There must be no mistakes. ”
The fourth and sixth said, "Yes, I will not disappoint my father." ”
Zhu Hekan looked at the fifth child and said, "Fifth brother, I sent you to patrol the world." Give you a gold medal, a monk's sword, and if I come in person, punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and don't lose hope. ”
The fifth child said, "The son will not disappoint his father." ”
Zhu Hekan said, "You all stand down." ”
......
The palace of the second prince.
The second prince was angry, and the subordinates were frightened, like quails. The atmosphere does not dare to breathe, this lord, moody. Mr. Wu, the advisor of the second prince, walked into the study.
The second prince was quite respectful to Mr. Wu, and told Mr. Wu what had just happened, and asked, "What does the father mean?" ”
After Mr. Wu listened, the second prince made a bad move, which was irreparable, and he didn't know what to say. After pondering for a while, he said, "There are a total of 8 princes in the emperor, the seventh prince and the eighth prince are young, and the remaining 6 princes have the opportunity to inherit the throne."
The emperor has not set up a prince, this time it is really to share the emperor's worries, it is really a test for the 6 princes, in the test, the prince who performs well is closer to the throne, and the prince who performs poorly will not be able to take the throne. Among them, the third prince automatically withdrew from the battle for the throne, and the second prince, you, not only did not understand the emperor's meaning, but also couldn't wait to say that he wanted to go to the army to practice, so that the emperor thought that you wanted to catch the army.
What do you want to do with the army, and you want to make another change of appeasement. With all due respect, even if you master an elite border army, it is useless, as long as you send a monk from the spirit world, hundreds of thousands of border troops can be slaughtered in one day. ”
The second prince realized it later, and finally understood, and said, "It means that my father didn't send me a task, which means that I lost the opportunity." ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
The second prince couldn't accept it for a while, and said after a while, "Who do you say has the best chance?" Big brother. He was the eldest son. ”
Mr. Wu said, "No, the most chances are the 4th prince and the 6th prince, and the emperor gave them the most important thing." Compared with Emperor Chongzhen's centennial birthday banquet, when the monks of the spiritual world will participate, the deputy examiner of the imperial examination of the eldest prince and the governor of the five princes are not so important. ”
-------
The palace of the four princes.
The fourth prince was chatting with Fang Shijun about what happened just now.
Fang Shijun analyzed to the fourth prince, "The second prince has lost the opportunity, and the third prince has given up the battle for the throne.
Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, he has a frivolous personality, floats, and acts recklessly, and does not enter the eyes of the emperor.
He took the throne of the emperor. ”
