The noble concubine Qin is undoubtedly a smart person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Born as a folk woman, she has no identity background, no son, and is old and decrepit, but she can survive the queen, and she has been singing all the way in the harem, holding a high position, and even letting Emperor Yuanwu think of her for the first time and let her come to accompany him when he lacks companionship after the New Year, which is enough to show the status of Qin Guifei in the mind of Emperor Yuanwu.

Qin Guifei's principle of dealing with the world is that she will not talk about right and wrong behind her back, let alone offend anyone.

Because she doesn't know how the future will change, today she said the rights and wrongs of others, offended others, will the Ming Dynasty be killed, and the salted fish will turn over.

Therefore, when she heard Emperor Yuan Wu ask about this very sensitive question, Qin Guifei's first reaction was to fool the past with sloppy eyes.

But when she opened her mouth, another thought came to her mind.

Emperor Yuanwu never asked her this question publicly.

Regarding the affairs of the court, Emperor Yuanwu often asked her. Qin Guifei has always been a muddy person. For example, Emperor Yuanwu mentioned that he sent the prince out to do errands, and the prince did not do it well enough, Qin Guifei would say that the prince is still young and inexperienced, so it would be good to have more experience. and so on, on the one hand, it made Emperor Yuanwu happy, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as indirectly saying good things for the prince.

The starting point of what she said was not on the "big" matters related to the court, but on the "small" relationship between fathers, sons, brothers and others.

It's no wonder that Emperor Yuanwu likes her to talk to her.

But in the past, when Emperor Yuan Wu mentioned such words, his attitude was more inclined to complain to the concubine.

However, today, Emperor Yuanwu's question revealed some doubts and distress.

Complaining about the ingredients, almost nothing.

If she took the opportunity to say a few words at this time, it would make the emperor even more disheartened with the crown prince......

The concubine suddenly shook her head in her heart.

It can't be like this.

The concubine thought to herself, even if she was no longer optimistic about the crown prince, she couldn't express it so obviously.

It can only be subtle.

The concubine didn't say anything for a long time, and Emperor Yuanwu looked at her again and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"Concubine...... Just trying to figure out what to say. The concubine sighed lightly: "Your Majesty asked, whether the prince can sit firmly in His Majesty's country, what are you worried about?" Is he afraid that the prince will govern the country in the future, use the wrong court policy, and mistakenly believe in the ministers? ”

The concubine smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty can first designate the ministers of the auxiliary government and give Your Majesty's most trusted courtier a sword that can kill the ministers, so that the prince will not be afraid of being bewitched by the ministers." ”

Emperor Yuanwu pondered for a moment and then smiled bitterly: "The crown prince has passed the age of his establishment, and when he ascended the throne, he was not a young child, and I returned the auxiliary minister, which really made the ancestors laugh." ”

The concubine bowed her head and said, "It's the concubine who said the wrong thing." ”

Emperor Yuanwu waved his hand: "You are right...... I'm really worried about what will happen to the country after it is handed over to him. ”

Emperor Yuanwu sighed again

"The prince is mediocre, but the king of Rui is outstanding, if the king of Rui is safe, the prince is not jealous of the king of Rui, I will hand over the country to the prince, and the king of Rui is by his side, why worry that my Great Wei will not usher in another prosperous era? It's a pity......"

Emperor Yuanwu said softly: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, what I am most afraid of is that he will not listen to my advice and attack King Rui. Once he starts to deal with King Rui, King Rui is bound to fight back, and then the civil strife will begin, and it is no wonder that foreign enemies do not take this opportunity to invade. Especially Xianbei, now this Xianbei King is really not fighting for a day, and he is not comfortable for a day...... When the time comes, my Great Wei will be in internal and external difficulties, the enemy will be on the back of the enemy, and the country that my ancestors have fought hard to fight will not be stable for a hundred years, and there may be chaos. ”

Over the years, Emperor Yuanwu has also seen King Rui's personality clearly.

King Rui may not love power, but he has been accumulating power.

The prince tried several times to put King Rui in danger, but King Rui never dealt with the prince even once.

The prince's ability to do errands is mediocre, on the contrary, the errands entrusted to King Rui can be completed beautifully. The ministers had to convince King Rui's ability to run errands.

Emperor Yuanwu believed that King Rui must be a man who cherished feathers.

He wants fame.

Even if King Rui wants the throne, unless he is cornered, he will definitely not lead the army to force the palace and rebel.

But I'm afraid, the prince couldn't stand the threat of King Rui and forced him.

Once the crown prince made a move, King Rui had an excuse to resist.

What King Rui is doing now may not be waiting for the prince to make a move on him, using the power he has accumulated to resist the prince and pull the prince off the horse.

This is exactly what Emperor Yuanwu was worried about.

He doesn't want the country to be unstable.

Emperor Yuanwu shook his head and asked the concubine, "Do you think it is better for the crown prince to ascend the throne or for King Rui to ascend the throne?" ”

The concubine sighed in her heart, and her face was still faint: "Before the concubine answers Your Majesty, ask Your Majesty for a pardon." ”

Emperor Yuanwu bowed his head and said: "I will chat with you today, and I will not mention the identity of the emperor's concubine." ”

The concubine nodded and said: "If Your Majesty and your concubine are an ordinary civil couple, with a little property under their name, the eldest son is poorly capable, but he was born to the wife of the previous one, and the younger son is strong, but he is a concubine, Your Majesty is thinking about who will inherit the family property and carry forward the family, the concubine will persuade Your Majesty to hand over the family to the younger son." ”

Emperor Yuanwu's face suddenly deteriorated, but he still said with a meager anger: "Tell me, why?" ”

The concubine said: "Because Your Majesty wants to grow the family, obviously the eldest son does not have this ability, maybe he will squander the family savings and become a loser." But if it is handed over to the younger son, the prosperity of the family is guaranteed. ”

"What about the eldest son? The wife should be the heir of the orthodox family. ”

"Your Majesty's words are right, so entrust the family to the younger son, and when the younger son wants to choose the successor in the future, he has to go to the eldest brother and choose the grandson of the grandson to succeed. In this way, the orthodox heir remained, and the family prospered. Isn't that a win-win-win? What's more, at that time, the family was under the care of the younger son, maybe the family property doubled, and the treatment of the eldest son became better than before, presumably the eldest son would not mind. ”

"But I'm talking about the world and the throne, not about the family's small property, not about the family heir."

"That's right." The concubine smiled: "So the concubine said, if." ”

The concubine raised her head and looked at Emperor Yuanwu: "Your Majesty is worried about this, and the concubine really can't bear it." But the views of the concubines and women can only be assumed here. It is about the inheritance of the royal family, and the concubines dare not talk nonsense. I only hope that Your Majesty will make a careful decision and not let down the country. ”

Emperor Yuanwu's heart ached slightly.

Don't live up to the country......

The concubine's words really poked him to the bottom of his heart.

What he is most afraid of is to make a wrong choice, to clear his name and put it into flowing water, to lose his late season, to put the Great Wei River in danger, and to face his ancestors and ancestors in the future.

This fear is even more important than the importance he attaches to his emperor's face.

said that King Rui cherished feathers, but in fact, he was not his father. (To be continued.) )
