-- Establish a suitable person to be long rather than virtuous, and to establish a son to be noble but not to be long; The son is more precious than the mother, and the mother is more precious than the son. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Later generations are called "the law of establishing a king, not stricter than the ram", the most important thing is because the "Ram Biography" said that the law of establishing an heir "to prevent love and dispute"......

-- There is never the best way to establish an heir, and this is the least bad system.

The "Legend of the Ram" has many provisions on the inheritance of heirs - "no concubine as a wife", "the princes hire nine daughters, and the princes no longer marry"...... All kinds of subtleties can be seen in the rules of restraint on the dignity and inferiority of the concubines.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Huang Lao Taoist rule of inaction, to the first emperor, pioneering and enterprising, and strive for meritorious service, Confucianism began to be highly respected, in terms of the three schools divided into the Spring and Autumn Period, it is also the ram school that advocates the righteousness of the most emperor. After all, "Zuo's" is detailed in the narrative, "The Biography of Gu Liang" advocates patriarchy, and "The Legend of the Ram" is subtle and righteous, and highly promotes "great unification" and "great revenge", which is exactly in line with the needs of the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty.

As for the method of establishing an heir, the system of the elder has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Han clan is no exception, and it attaches great importance to the chief.

Emperor Gao made his son-in-law the crown prince in the second year of the Han Dynasty, and gave the eldest son to the older concubine, but it was not until the seventh year of the Han Dynasty that he was awarded the title of knight. Emperor Hui has no queen, Emperor Wen is the oldest among the sons of Emperor Gao, and in the case of the death of the concubine and the son-in-law, the eldest son is the crown prince first, and then the mother of the prince is the queen, which is also deeply in line with the meaning of the "Spring and Autumn Period".

As for Emperor Jing, when Liu Rong was first established as the crown prince, because he was the eldest son, Emperor Jing did not have to do anything after the abolition, and after Liu Che, the intended son, in order to justify the name, Emperor Jing was the first to abolish the queen, and set Liu Che's mother as the queen, and then set up Liu Che.

In the Han system, only the mother of the liehou can be called Mrs. Tai, and the son is not a liehou, and cannot be called Mrs. Tai, but the status of the concubine is still guaranteed - generally speaking, if the heir is a concubine, her mother-in-law is still alive, although she cannot be called Mrs. Tai, but, in the same way, the biological mother will not be respected as Mrs. Tai. The same principle is followed by the prince of the clan in things like honoring the queen mother. (Note 1)

Of course, the actual power is not so easy to say.

- Liu Rong is the crown prince, although the empress is still Bo, but when Emperor Jing is seriously ill, the person entrusted to him is still the crown prince's biological mother, Madame Li, not his own empress.

- Obviously, because of the relationship of intimacy and influence, it is easy for the biological mother to have more power than the mother-in-law.

This is especially true among the people, the eldest son born by the main heir is given priority, and the eldest son born by the same mother is given priority if the same father and sister are the heirs.

However, there are far more issues involved in the establishment of an emperor than in the people.

According to the principle of respecting relatives, the emperor's mother is the empress dowager - the mother-in-law or the biological mother?

-- It is certain that the mother is more noble than the biological mother, but there is no such thing as a son being king and a mother being a slave!

-- Mother is more precious than son. If the son is noble, if he does not respect his mother, it is unfilial!

-- The mother-in-law is the father's main room, and not respecting the mother-in-law is against the father's will, and it is even more unfilial!

Because Dahan has never encountered this kind of problem, at this time, even thinking about it is a headache.

- However, if the emperor dies, only the harem concubines have children...... That's what you have to think about.

The princes and kings can not respect their biological mother, but still respect their mother-in-law, but do not call them the queen mother, but call them by their father, that is, a certain queen, when the mother-in-law dies, and then respect the biological mother as the queen mother.

But what about the Emperor?

The Son of Heaven Supreme. It has always been a matter of respecting relatives, and there is absolutely no reason that the son is the son of heaven and the mother does not enjoy the future gifts.

How, exactly? If there is no precedent in the Han system, we can only look for the precedents of the ancestors.

"Spring and Autumn" is undoubtedly the best model.

-- Obviously, Liu Fuling's repeated study of the opening chapter of "Spring and Autumn" was precisely to find a solution to the above problems.

- More precisely, Liu Fuling wanted to find a reason for the Shangguan family to support his decision, so that the harem concubine could give birth to his heir.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang's disgust, which was originally only three points, suddenly rose to nine points.

- What else will the young emperor do but compromise?

After all, Huo Guang's surname is Huo, and he still has the same arrogant blood flowing in his bones as Huo Quzhi.

- For the hussar general who was knighted as the Marquis, compromise was only a helpless option when he was at a disadvantage, and in the final analysis, it was still because of his own weakness.

- Yes, weakness! Not weak!

- Young Guixing, eighteen feudal marquis, in Huo Quai's dictionary, there is no compromise.

Huo Guang is not sicker than Huo Guang, but he also does not like to make compromising choices, and he does not appreciate compromising choices.

-- If the young son of heaven insists on defending his heir when he is pregnant in the harem, and tries so hard to find a reason to persuade his relatives in the back party......

If that's the case, Huo Guang will admire the courage and means of the young emperor.

-- Today......

"So...... Are you ready to wait for the queen to become an adult? Han Zeng was a little surprised.

――The queen contacted the Shangguan family and the Huo family......

――What do these two families mean to the young emperor......

――You don't have to think about it to understand!

is just like Huo Guang said, in fact, Han Zeng has always thought that the young emperor is smart, but now look at it...... But it's a little hard to say.

was thinking about it, but seeing Huo Guang sneering again and again, his eyes were full of ridicule, Han Zeng couldn't help but be stunned.

"What are the general's plans?" Han Zeng was silent for a while, then asked with a frown.

Huo Guang sneered and raised his eyebrows, and asked in a vague tone: "What can I plan?" ”

The more this was the case, the more frightened Han Zeng became.

In terms of age, Han Zeng was a few years older than Huo Guangshang, and in his memory, Huo Quzhi had also asked the same thing rhetorically.

――It was the fifth year of Motokaku.

Emperor Xiaowu took refuge in the summer Dinghu Palace, but he suddenly fell ill, and the illness was very violent, and the court was very uneasy, after all, at that time, Emperor Xiaowu was not confused, and he calculated with the life test of his father and ancestor...... It's really ominous!

As the confidant of the Son of Heaven and the important minister of the Inner Dynasty, the two great Simas took turns to sit in Weiyang Palace and Dinghu Palace. At that time, Han Zeng was already a servant and a servant, Zhu Cao, and was in charge of Shangshu. On that day, it happened to be Huo Quai's turn to be in charge of Weiyang Palace. The hussar general, who had always been impatient with trivial matters, summoned all his subordinates to the main hall as soon as he entered the Shangshu Office, but he let everyone stand for nearly an hour without saying a word.

Huo Qubing is not as round as Wei Qing, he has always been unruly, plus he is young and in charge of soldiers, conquest and killing, and his body is always full of a fierce and fierce atmosphere, and there are few ministers in the inner court who are not afraid. Seeing that this great Sima Ming was having a seizure, everyone didn't even dare to complain, so they could only wait for him to have a seizure with trepidation.

In fact, everyone was so frightened, in addition to being afraid of the hussar general, it was also because everyone more or less knew why it happened. ――Just a few days before that day, the general came to Weiyang Palace to take charge, but when he entered the palace, he was injured by Lang Zhongling Li Kang...... The general immediately gave a ban on everyone......

For an hour, most of the recital of the Shangshu Department was read by Huo Quai, as if he was tired of reading, and when the big Sima finally raised his head and looked at everyone.

"It's all familiar...... Do you really want me to ask plainly? Huo Quzhi's expression was indifferent, and his tone was a little tired.

The crowd could only lower their heads, but no one spoke. After waiting for a while, Huo Quzhi leaned on the table and asked with a smile: "Does the general have an explanation?" ”

“…… Yes......" Shang Shucheng replied softly.

Huo Quzhi snorted coldly: "I know what my uncle will explain." You don't have to say it. It's just that...... In a few days...... I'm not here to ask you. The tone of the Great Sima Hussar General did not rise or fall at all.

Everyone was shocked - someone else asked...... No one would have thought that would have been more inquiring than a hussar general...... Gentler ......

-- The general's orders must not be disobeyed...... However, the current situation has to be said......

So, after a silent exchange, Shang Shuling stepped forward and said something in Huo Quai's ear, and returned to his place after speaking.

Huo Quzhi nodded, squinted and waved: "What should I do, what should I do!" ”

The crowd bowed and immediately withdrew. Han Zeng was a little worried, hesitated for a while, but still didn't leave, and waited for everyone to leave, before he walked to Huo Quai's table and asked in a low voice what he was going to do—in fact, he wanted to persuade him. - He is the son of Han Shuo, and he has a very close relationship with the Son of Heaven and Wei Qing, and he also has some friendship with Huo Quai, so this kind of question is not excessive.

Huo Quzhi really didn't blame, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said indifferently: "What can I do?" ”

Han Zeng was really relieved at that time - he thought that Huo Qubing was helpless and powerless, after all, Lang Zhongling was the head of Jiuqing, and he was the person in charge of the palace, even if Huo Quai's rank and general were above the prime minister, they were very honored, and they could not be disposed of without authorization.

- Obviously, he was wrong.

A few days later, the Son of Heaven recovered from his illness a little, and then drove Ganquan, probably to calm people's hearts, and organized a hunt, that is, in the hunt, the great Sima Hussar General shot Lang Zhongling in front of everyone.

In the vast mountains and forests, there is silence.

Just when everyone was in a cold sweat and full of fear, the Son of Heaven, who still had a sickly look on his face, said lightly: "Lang Zhongling was touched by a deer and died...... What an unexpected ......."

……

Han Zeng still remembers that he was frightened and trembling at that time......

- "What can I do?" ”

It's not helpless, it's not overwhelmed, it's just a pure rhetorical question - what else can be planned?

Looking at Huo Guang, who looked quite similar to Huo Quai's expression that day, Han Zeng sincerely felt that he was going to go to the southwest, far away from Chang'an...... And feel happy.

- He didn't want to relive the feeling in the Ganquan Palace that day!

- What's more, this time, it's about the Son of Heaven!

After saying that, he understood the meaning, Han Zeng immediately got up to say goodbye, and Huo Guang also sent him to the front yard very politely.

Seeing the main gate of the Huo family, Han Zeng resolutely asked Huo Guang to stop, but Huo Guang did not insist anymore.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Zeng still reminded Huo Guang softly: "The first emperor has established an heir, the young emperor is orthodox after all, and the general must not be careless." ”

Huo Guang pursed his lips and thanked him softly, but his expression was still deep, so that Han Zeng couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

――Actually, what else do you think?

Out of Huo's house, Han Zeng came to his senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, got on the horse and left.
