As soon as the sage asked this, Deng Jiang, who was the most enthusiastic, shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

If you don't set up a king, you can still use the desolation of your heirs as an excuse, but what reason should you use if you don't set up a king of Zhao? King Zhao's biological mother was born in Jiangnan, and the sage should appoint the prince born from the 'female' son of the northern land as the crown prince? Even if everyone understands that this is the reason why they can't establish King Zhao, they can't say it openly!

Shen Zhaorong was born in a family of salt merchants, although it was a good reason not to let a mere salt merchant become the mother family of the Son of Heaven, if he really wanted to say it, it would be a slap in the face of the saint - the salt merchant was so unacceptable, why did the saint still register Shen Zhaorong as one of the nine concubines? Since Shen Zhaorong is rewarded for giving birth to a son, that is, the mother is more valuable than the son, how can he talk about it?

Of course, if you really want to make excuses, you can find them anyway, and the reason why everyone is silent is only because the way the saint asks questions is not quite right.

The acting king can't be the crown prince, so what about the king of Zhao? King Zhao can't be the crown prince, so what about King Wei? Can King Wei? Why? Aren't King Lu and King Han good? If the king of Wei can't be the crown prince, what about the king of Lu? King Lu can't do it, what about King Han? King Han is also desolate? Whoever dares to say this, King Han will dare to beat him down directly at the court meeting.

Mu Xin and Deng Jiang dared to say bluntly that the heirs of the acting prince were not prosperous, just because the acting king was old and had no concubines, and several concubines were either guilty or sick or young, and the only one who had no big problems could not take action, but once the acting king ascended the throne, he ...... early The court will be in turmoil again. Although King Han has only one son, he is the son-in-law of the righteous Bajing and the rightful heir. He is young, and if he says that he will not have many children, is it a curse that he will not have other children, or does he not live long?

With so many people present, the saint didn't deliberately hide it, and even if the content of the conversation would not spread out ten out of ten, it would still reveal a few rumors. If the five sons of the saint asked each other, and did not say whether they had to stand in line with a clear banner, even if they did...... It will also offend the other four to death!

Seeing that they didn't speak, the sage raised his eyebrows: "When you become the king of Zhao?" ”

Zhongshu 'servant' Lang Xu Mi is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, who has been with the 'servant' saint for many years, and has a little understanding of the saint's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and noticed that the saint's tone was a little subtle, and then thought of Jiangnan again and again, and again and again restless, he resolutely made a decision: "The minister is brave, His Royal Highness King Zhao is a little jealous in the 'woman' and 'color', and he is not the talent of the prince." ”

If you really want to talk about it, King Zhao is also wronged, the beauty in his palace is indeed the only one among the brothers, but most of them came with a large amount of money, symbolizing the sincerity of many big businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. He was once in charge of Taichang Temple again, those servants from humble backgrounds and despised, dancing girls, can they stick to him with all their strength? It's just a matter of your affection and my willingness, and you haven't robbed the people's 'daughters', if you really want to talk about it, his sanctimonious brothers and even courtiers will be less used than him? It's just that he has a reputation, and when he comes to this, he will suffer some losses.

Xu Mi's statement undoubtedly offended King Zhao to death, the sage bowed his head slightly, and his heart was quite comforted, but his face was not 'revealed' at all, but he only said: "So, what about King Wei?" ”

Deng Jiang saw that Zhang Rong, Zhang Min and Xu Mi were not blamed by the sage, so he thought that Zhang Rong came according to the rules and was clear, and the sage knew Zhang Rong's spleen 'nature', and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not 'revea' it. Zhang Min and Xu Mi denied the acting king and the king of Zhao respectively, and the sage didn't say anything, it can be seen that the sage used this to lead out the king of Wei, so there is a justifiable reason to establish the king of Wei as the prince, after all, the king of Wei is not a concubine, and there is such a bad character, it is impossible to be the biological mother of the queen in the next life, and it is supported by the prime ministers, Luoyang Ling, and Zheng Guogong, who is the first noble, and there is a saying.

He thought that he had figured out the sage's intentions, after all, the sage had always revealed the meaning of 'revealing', and there were all kinds of actions, all of which showed that the sage was optimistic about King Wei, otherwise Deng Jiang regarded Deng Ning as a strange commodity to live in, and would not lightly agree to match Deng Ning with the princess of Wei. Besides, he has many enemies, and he himself understands that his position has not been stable in recent years, and he knows it better. Unless the king of Wei ascends the throne, he will not have a good life if he becomes the emperor.

Thinking of this, Deng Jiang didn't care about any face, anyway, there was a saying that "the external move does not avoid revenge, and the internal move does not avoid relatives", and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is self-denying and repentant, and he can be the talent of the prince." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of those present were so strange!

King Wei's words and deeds are seen by everyone, and he can be called strict with himself, but when it comes to self-denial, it is too high, right?

Self-denial and revenge, the world returns to benevolence, this is the idea of Sage Confucius. King Wei is good in words and deeds, but he is not benevolent in his actions and affairs, but is suspected of being mean and unkind. Obviously, he can do things lightly, but he wants to do it seriously, especially those officials who are high-born and have been offended, and their families are looking for a way to the 'door' everywhere, and many people have begged to be in front of King Wei, and they don't want to erase this matter, they just want to save each other's lives, but they can't do it.

Although the governance of officials should be vigorous and resolute, but the disgrace of officials, exile and execution are very different, killing 'chickens' and monkeys is effective, and there is no need to kill so many, right? You must know that many cases in which the law is ambiguous, and only depends on how the official in charge of the case sentencs, and the King of Wei is all handled strictly, without exception.

Even if he knew that King Wei had taken the truth, it would make many people feel cold, not to mention ...... The rule of the officials of the King of Wei may not be completely out of public intentions.

The sage glanced at Deng Jiang before asking, "According to what you say, King Wei is indeed good, but what about King Lu?" ”

When Deng Jiang heard this, a cold sweat came down.

What do I mean? How can I decide the prince of Great Xia? If this word gets out...... Sage, sage shouldn't be dissatisfied with King Wei, and want to take he, the in-law of King Wei, right?

When people are nervous, they are prone to make mistakes, Deng Jiang's brain is already blank, and he subconsciously said: "His Royal Highness King Lu also has both ability and political integrity, but the young and old are orderly......"

"Since you are young and old, why do you invite the king of Wei!" Pei Jin's face was full of anger, and he ignored the occasion and scolded Deng Jiang, "As the second minister, you should be public-minded, how can you ignore your family and country because of your son's 'daughter' and family?" ”

Deng Jiang has never been in contact with Pei Jin, because the other party's identity, status, and qualifications are much higher than him, even if he is reprimanded by Pei Jin like this, Deng Jiang can't 'show' his usual fierce appearance, just want to distinguish one from the other, how could Pei Jin give him this opportunity? I saw this important minister in the heart of the emperor looking at the sage, his face was full of determination, and his eyes were full of Geng Geng's loyalty: "My Great Xia is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the mighty four are powerful, the saint is thousands of years, and all countries are coming to the court." The barbarians of the four realms, who doesn't admire the Central Plains? We should be the etiquette, show the 'mind', and educate the four yi, then the Great Xia will be prosperous for thousands of generations! ”

After that, he knelt down with a "plop", and said awe-inspiringly: "Minister, Luoyang Ling, Shangwan Marquis Pei Jin, I implore Your Majesty to make the king the crown prince!" ”

Zhang Rong is also shrewd, seeing that Pei Jin sings and writes well, he understands that he can't escape the suspicion of others, so he immediately knelt down and said: "Minister, Zhang Rong, the 'servant' of the Chinese book, implore His Majesty to establish the king as the prince!" ”

Xu Mi secretly pinched a handful of sweat, thinking that he had offended King Zhao just now, and with King Wei's personality, even if he wanted to clean up King Zhao, he had to take care of a little bit in the name of "brother", and he might not stand out for himself. The acting king is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is justifiable to teach any younger brother a lesson, so he decided to take a gamble, resolutely knelt down, and echoed: "Minister, the 'servant' Lang Xu Mi of the Chinese book, implore His Majesty to appoint the king as the crown prince." ”

Although Qian Ming is the prime minister in the "waiter" under the "door", he doesn't make a sound on weekdays, and he really wants to make up his mind, which side of the wind is strong. He saw Xu Mi kneeling, Deng Jiang was stunned, Zhang Min didn't make any moves, the corner of his eyes subconsciously looked back, and he was also disappointed by his light qualifications, standing farther away, so that he could see that Jiang Bai and Wei Tuo were ready to kneel, if it weren't for their lack of identity, it would be difficult to risk this...... Qian Ming, who was very self-aware, immediately made a decision, and did not care about a handful of old bones, shouting: "Minister, the 'servant' Lang Qian Ming under the 'door', I implore Your Majesty to establish the king as the crown prince!" ”

Three prime ministers, one Luoyang Ling knelt like this, even if the remaining few people objected, it was half of it, Jiang Bai and Wei Tuo knelt down naturally, and also asked the king to be the crown prince.

Prime Minister Zhang Min also felt obediently, although he had said that the acting king was not suitable to be the prince and it was not good to slap his face, but he also knelt down and Mu Xin, the son of Zheng Guogong, was in his heart, but he knew that today's things were strange, so he also knelt down, and decided to check why the saint changed his mind after going back.

Deng Jiang was a little nervous, but he knew that he couldn't get back what so many people agreed to, and he was worried in his heart, but he also followed the trend.

Seeing this, the saint said with satisfaction: "Good! Good! Pei Qing said to my heart! We Han people are not like those barbarians who do not pay attention to etiquette, in order to compete for the throne, kill their fathers and brothers, and kill their sons and brothers. Daxia is a state of etiquette, and it should be based on etiquette and benevolence. The young and the young are orderly, and the grandchildren are different, all of which are the rules set by the ancestors. The acting king is my eldest son, who is kind and gentle, honors his father, helps his brothers, and has impeccable conduct. ”

At this point, the sage suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "Tomorrow the envoys of all countries will come to me, and I will announce the good news at that time!" The implication is to let everyone present keep their mouths shut and not be able to 'reveal' the slightest bit of news.

Everyone present is an understanding person, even if the 'revealed' news is revealed, what can it do? The kings can endure the hibernation and pull the second prince off the horse in the future, but they can't lose the face of the saint in front of outsiders. The former is only a matter of time, scheming and means, while the latter is likely to be lost.

Rao is like this, the saint has no intention of relaxing, and after the ministers retreat, I saw that his joy was completely gone, and his face sank like water.

There were already two people standing in front of him, in addition to Kuang Min, there was also an ordinary general who usually did not show the mountain 'dew', the sage paced a few steps before saying: "This time, I'm afraid you will have to sacrifice a few people." Speaking of this, there is some sadness, "I am old, their hearts are also big, and the news cannot be covered." I want you to go out of your way to 'figure out' their reactions when they find out about this, understand? In the end, it was sonorous and forceful.
