Chapter 240: Who to Appoint as Prince?
My heart suddenly sank all the time. If you can't win the heir, you can only die, it turns out that this sentence not only refers to Jiang Yunxiu, but also Jiang Yunlin. I never wanted to face it, I just wouldn't let them ascend to the throne, but I didn't want them to die. Now that he admits to this great rebellious charge, one is that he is speechless and forced to be helpless, and the other is that he doesn't think that this is also what I mean, I am afraid that he will now think that even Qin Xixuan's cooperation with him is a chess arranged by me. But actually, he overestimated me, and I didn't do anything.
With a movement of my fingers, the arrow returned to my hand.
The emperor was furious and shouted: "Rebel! ”
Xun Rin knelt down and said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, when he left the palace today, Lord Qin specially reminded him to protect the emperor's safety outside the palace, so Weichen has already assembled the guards of the "Black Chess Battalion". ”
Jiang Yunlin's face turned white, he looked at Qin Xixuan, Qin Xixuan must also feel that it was difficult to argue. His original intention was to let Xun Rin assemble the "Black Chess Battalion" so that he could fight against the Northwest Army with the forbidden army. Qin Xixuan glared at Jiang Yunxiu fiercely, and then turned his head to look at me. At this time, I didn't know Qin Xixuan, he looked at me, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes. I felt a chill in my heart, I didn't know why he was like this, but I didn't have time to think about him anymore, because the change in this class was instantaneous.
The emperor listened to Xun Rin's words, smiled coldly, said "yes", and then said to Jiang Yunlin: "What should Lin'er do now?" ”
Jiang Yunlin smiled lightly and said, "The forbidden army and the emperor's personal guards have never competed. It's a rare opportunity to have today. It's better to let my father see if the forbidden army trained by his sons is more combative, or the royal guards led by the commander of the ten are better. Whatever the retainers do, it's fine. ”
"Rebel!" The emperor was so angry that he smoked. But there was one person who sneered inappropriately at this time, and this person was Jiang Yunxiu, who had just been whitewashed. This voice focused everyone's attention on him again.
"Father". Jiang Yunxiu said unhurriedly, "Erchen thinks that what the Fourth Emperor Brother said is actually reasonable. If you don't set up a prince for a day, everyone will always have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, thinking that they still have a chance. Erchen remembered that there was a lesson in the previous dynasty, because he had not established a prince for a long time, which attracted several princes to make strange moves, making brothers enemies. Father and son turned against each other, and the country was almost unstable. In this case, the father might as well reveal this mystery. A few of our brothers' hearts fell to the ground, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also knew what to do in the future, wouldn't they all be happy? ”
I was a little surprised in my heart, it stands to reason that Jiang Yunxiu is now taking advantage of the odds. As long as he doesn't come out again. As soon as today passes, he is the person most likely to win the position of the prince, but now that he says this, doesn't it arouse the emperor's suspicion? Or rather, he can't wait to sit in this seat.
Sure enough, the emperor's brows tightened, and he let go again, and asked lightly: "What." Jiu'er, do you really want to know who is the candidate for the prince? Or do you want to sit in this seat? ”
Jiang Yunxiu smiled. Said: "If my father says so, the ministers will have to tell the truth." The reason why Erchen wanted his father to become a prince was just that he didn't want the forbidden army and the 'black chess battalion' to meet each other. The two sides are really fighting, and it's really not certain who wins and who loses. At that time, it won't be good if you hurt the emperor or the emperor's brother. The royal brother didn't mean anything else, didn't he just set up a prince, and he didn't say that he had to be set up. ”
Jiang Yunxiu's move is very ruthless, that is, he wants to threaten the emperor, if the emperor does not establish a prince today, I am afraid that he will really put himself in danger; The other is also to coerce Jiang Yunlin, all the civil and military officials are there, if the emperor conforms to his idea and establishes a prince, even if the prince is not him, he has no reason to use force, if he must move, then the position is not so tenable.
The emperor snorted and asked, "Then according to Jiu'er's intentions, who is the most suitable?" Could it be that Jiu'er thinks she is suitable? ”
Jiang Yunxiu smiled and said, "What does my father mean when he asks his son?" Then of course, Erchen has to answer truthfully. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Say it." Jiang Yun cleared his throat and said, "Actually, my father is wise, the candidate for the crown prince has not been decided for so long, and it is indeed because it is difficult to choose." Several ministers couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard this. The reason why the emperor was not elected was not because it was difficult to choose, but because he did not want to hand over power, nor did he want to create another person who might threaten his power. Now Jiang Yunxiu attributed the reason to the difficulty of choosing, which is indeed a little funny. However, the ministers knew that they were out of shape, and immediately bowed their heads and stopped speaking.
Jiang Yunxiu continued: "In fact, the position of the prince is mainly virtuous and filial. Virtue is for the country, you can govern the country well, and listen to both; Filial piety is for the family, after all, this world is the world of my Jiang family, and etiquette and filial piety are the first to serve people. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "If you talk about these, your brothers are all about the same. It's just that today's ......" He didn't finish speaking, and only glanced at Jiang Yunlin. Although it was not said, the meaning was obvious, that is, Jiang Yunlin was no longer in line with filial piety. Jiang Yunxiu lowered his head slightly and thought about it, and said, "I think that when it comes to virtue, the Four Emperor Brothers are worthy of their name. The four emperor brothers helped the emperor manage the government early in the morning, and he participated in all major political affairs. And the four emperor brothers also had the title of 'virtuous king' early on. Although today's events are a bit out of line, in the final analysis, they have not done anything to endanger the emperor, so they are not unfilial. “
When he said this, everyone, including the emperor, couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. I shut my mouth and wanted to hear him say "it's just ......"
Sure enough, he changed his words and said: "It's just that Lichu does not choose virtue and filial piety, but chooses the most virtuous and filial piety." And if you want to talk about the most virtuous and filial piety among the royal brothers, then ......"
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to say, "That's me."
But he said, "That'...... It's really not me, it's the eldest brother, the king of Jinnan. ”
At this moment, everyone was stunned. I don't understand why he talked about King Jinnan.
Jiang Yunxiu ignored everyone's doubts, suddenly knelt down very formally, and continued: "King Jinnan was made the crown prince before, and he helped the emperor to supervise the country at that time, and there was no mistake or omission in the political affairs he managed, and everyone said that the prince was benevolent, righteous and virtuous. Later, because of physical reasons, the crown prince was deposed as the king of Jinnan, and the king of Jinnan never resented, but defended his father everywhere, and even almost died to save his father, which is the most filial piety. Before Erchen said that being a prince should be virtuous and filial, but in fact, in addition to these character qualities, there is another point, that is, the name is justified. Since ancient times, only the king of Jinnan was born by the late queen, and he was the son and the eldest son. The father and the son elected the king of Jinnan as the prince. ”
After saying it, bow to the end. (To be continued......)
