"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this method is feasible."

A thin minister kneeling at the front of the knees, after brewing for a while, seemed to be very solemn, and seemed to be the emperor of Yinghe, his eyes did not squint, and his lips moved slightly to express his opinion.

"What does the general think?"

The old emperor was noncommittal about what the minister said. Instead, he asked, and behind the minister, a burly and tall man.

This man is the general of Dayue's frontier - General Xiao, and the uncle of the third prince.

Hearing the emperor ask, General Xiao did not rush to answer, but first got up and made a gesture, holding the jade in his hand, and then leaned over and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that there is something wrong with this law!"

The voice is loud and full of energy.

"Oh, General Xiao, this ...... Cough...... Why? ”

When the old emperor said this, he was a little excited, and his strength couldn't keep up, so he began to cough.

The waiter next to him hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the emperor, and handed it to the emperor with the ginseng soup beside him.

Seeing that the emperor was coughing again, several ministers were silent and did not dare to say any more.

As a result, only the sound of the emperor's rough breathing remained in the main hall, which made people feel nervous when they heard it.

After a long time, the emperor finally relieved himself, and he was concerned with state affairs, and asked General Xiao.

"The ministers think that the princes have very different personalities, so they will definitely be different in terms of governance. The things that the saint said could not be solved overnight, and no one knows what will happen in the future, so how can we judge the merits of the princes? ”

Normally, military generals are always simpler than civilian officials, so General Xiao expressed his scruples.

It turned out that the old emperor knew that his time was short, and this prince had not yet been established, so it naturally became a major event in his heart.

But among several princes, the old emperor picked and chose but never found a successor.

According to the order of the eldest son, the eldest prince should have been appointed as the crown prince. But the old emperor felt that the eldest prince was quite cowardly, and he was afraid that after becoming the emperor, he would not be able to handle the national affairs of the other three kingdoms well, so he was worried, so he delayed the transmission of the eldest prince.

But what about the remaining princes?

The three princes acted boldly and aggressively, but they seemed to lack the benevolent heart that a human monarch should have.

The five princes are mentally incomplete and do not think about it.

The mother family of the Seven Emperors is humble, and if he is established, the old emperor is worried that the new monarch will only be on the throne for three days, and he may be overthrown by the original old clan dynasty, so he has not paid attention to it for a long time.

There is also a little prince, who is smart, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for him to grow up.

Therefore, this matter has been dragged down, and now it looks like he is dying, and the matter of Lichu has to be put on the agenda again.

But the situation has not changed, the old emperor has been wise and martial all his life, but he did not expect that there is no prince who can let him like inherit the throne.

Therefore, he secretly summoned several important ministers in the court, and the old emperor proposed a method.

Although the political situation is still relatively stable now, there are some small frictions at the border from time to time, and there are even a few times when there is almost a fire with Shengzhu.

The old emperor conjured up an exam question: how to get along with neighbors?

Several princes have also had experience in participating in court politics before, but they are all trivial matters such as official corruption and oppression of the people, which involves the big problem of the country's future prosperity and decline, and several princes have not interfered.

But that's why the old emperor wanted to take the school exam and see what the princes thought.

The thin minister who was the first to meet was Prime Minister Da Yue Du.

is also the prime minister, but this Prime Minister Du and Prime Minister Lin of Shengzhu can be said to be one in the sky and one on the ground.

Prime Minister Du Cheng is dedicated to the country, loves the people like a son, and has been conscientious and conscientious in the position of prime minister for decades. He has outstanding political achievements, and is one of the recognized Qing officials in the court, and he is also favored by the old emperor. Usually this suggestion of Prime Minister Du, how can the old emperor think about one or two.

Prime Minister Du Cheng was the first to speak, not because he didn't think about it, but because he agreed to it, but out of careful consideration.

Since it is necessary to elect the prince, then the prince will have to adapt to the major national affairs in advance. The prince's attitude towards politics can be said to be related to the future trend of national fortunes, and the emperor proposed such a method, which is simple and clear.

Therefore, Prime Minister Du Cheng naturally deserved.

But comparatively speaking, the general is much simpler-minded.

General Xiao only thinks that even he understands this truth, how could the emperor not understand it!

Foreign politics are exchanged, and peace is made without war!

And whether this is war or cooperation depends on how the country decides. But no matter whether it is a war or peace, it naturally has its own reason.

General Xiao felt that the emperor had such a fake big empty problem, which was really not enough to explain anything, let alone use it as the basis for establishing a prince! That's why they retort.

Then the remaining ministers also expressed their own opinions, and there were only two views.

One is to support what Prime Minister Du Cheng said, and it is also to obey the emperor's will, so naturally this accounts for the majority.

Of course, there are still a few people left, who have been following the pace of General Xiao, and feel that the emperor's move is too hasty.

So the people on both sides began to argue, General Xiao is a military attaché, and in this aspect of eloquence and literature, he is naturally lost to these civil officials who rely on their mouths all year round.

Therefore, his face was so anxious that his face was red, and his silver teeth were clenched, not because he was afraid that he would be in the holy front palace again, but he was afraid that he would have to draw his sword against each other a long time ago.

Prime Minister Du Cheng is not afraid of him, both of them are dedicated to the court, but they are not afraid of any villain behind them.

"General Xiao, I said why don't you understand, it's really the brain of a martial artist, the head of an elm!"

After Prime Minister Du Cheng followed General Xiao's undisciplined argument, he was anxious to speak.

General Xiao was naturally not to be outdone, and he didn't know what he was talking about when he talked about it:

"You're misleading the country, misleading the country! According to your method, if the five princes can get that spectacle and majesty, then can this country still be handed over to the five princes? ”

The old emperor sat on the upper seat, which also required energy to listen to the courtiers' arguments.

On the one hand, I was thinking about the argument of revitalizing the government that I was willing to eat before, but on the other hand, I felt that I was powerless.

"Let's take a break, come on, serve tea!"

The old emperor saw that his left arm and right arm were arguing, so he could only mediate.

With the emperor's words, the two naturally quieted down, but this problem has not been solved yet!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this method is still not feasible, it is too hasty and reckless!"

General Xiao casually took a cup of tea handed over by the internal officer, drank it all, and was not polite, and then spoke.

And Prime Minister Du Cheng took a sip of the imperial tea in his hand slowly, and did not speak, just looked at the emperor.

"Alright, that's it. A few of you are discussing here, and it depends on what those unsuccessful children think! ”

Speaking of this, the old emperor sighed.

The next morning, the hundred officials did not speak, and the old emperor passed down a holy decree.

Ask a few princes, what do you think about the border development issue? At the same time, do not forget to indicate that this may be related to the decision of the storage location.

Of course, it's not homework in the classroom, such a big thing, naturally it has to be kept for a few princes to come back and think about it.
