Chapter 348: Standing Long or Young

The leader of these more than a dozen ministers is Jiang Chengguo, and Jiang Chengguo is also a person with some ability. He is proficient in water conservancy and astronomy and geography, relying on his flexible communication skills, in just a few years, he has become a hot figure in Chudu, and now he is even a big celebrity in front of the queen, and he is also the most talked about figure recently.

Because of his meritorious service in supervising water transportation, he successfully opened the passage of Dujiangyan connecting the waters of the West Sea and the East Pearl River, strengthened the exchanges between the people of the east and the west, promoted the commercial and economic development of Dachu, and opened up all the waterways on all sides of Dachu.

At this time, if a person takes a passenger boat on the Chu River in Chudu, he can pass through the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and then reach the West Sea, and then go all the way down from the West Sea to the Dongzhu waters, which have the magic of the East.

This is a great initiative, but also let the people of Chu benefit a lot, so it has also been rewarded by the Chu Emperor and upgraded again and again, at this time has been promoted to the second grade of the master, the history of the highest inspector of the water transport of Chu, he also cultivated a large number of people who support themselves during this period, so his position and prestige in the court, not lost to the left and right.

Therefore, after Jiang Chengguo and his colleagues recommended the five princes in one fell swoop, several more people came out to speak, and they all recommended the five princes in unison, Chu Jingnan.

Chu Jingnan had a smug look on his face, this time it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and they are all on his side. And looking at Chu Jingqiu, he was like a defeated general at this time, listless, and he looked down on Chu Jingqiu a little bit in his heart.

Seeing the reaction of the ministers below, although it had long been expected by himself. Empress Chen was still a little proud in her heart. However, what she cares about now is the opinions of Youxiang and Feng Qingyun.

The right prime minister, King Ruiqing, is ambitious and does not know the depths. Usually not visible mountains. No dew. Unconsciously, his wings have spread all over the imperial city, plus he is the emperor's uncle, and he is a veteran of the two dynasties, under his direct jurisdiction is the palace guard and the outside of the city, it can be said that what he holds in his hands is the lifeblood of the entire palace.

Therefore, Empress Chen is extremely jealous of her. Usually speak to him very politely.

And Feng Qingyun is a family, and the father and daughter have three generals, all of whom are military generals. This time to win the Nan clan is even more indispensable. Their influence in Chudu is also extremely far-reaching. Moreover, they still have tens of thousands of iron horsemen in their hands, and the most feared Feng family army.

If it were an ordinary person, she would not be afraid, but only coerced and seduced. Beauty. Weighting. As long as he uses these four treasures, there is almost no one who is not taken down by him, but this King Ruiqing is a person who is upright and does not eat oil and rice on the surface.

And Feng Qingyun is also a generation of loyal ministers, usually honest and strict, and she has no handle in the hands of others, so she can be said to be jealous of the two of them. And I have a lot of headaches.

Therefore, she turned her gaze to King Ruiqing at this time, "Don't be in a hurry to make a statement. It's better to listen to the meaning of King Ruiqing first, he is the minister of our Great Chu, and he is the elder of the two dynasties, and he has the most weight to speak, why don't we listen to what he says? ”

Hearing Empress Chen say this, everyone turned their attention to King Ruiqing.

King Ruiqing was about forty years old, his face was big and round, his face was full of meat, and his face was extremely vicious. But because he likes to laugh very much, when he laughs, his eyes are narrowed into a line, and he suddenly gives people the feeling of Maitreya Buddha, which is a little more kind.

But when he looks at people, the exquisite light in his eyes gives people a sense of sharpness.

"I was a little frightened when the queen asked the old minister like this, but I don't know if the queen gave me a single choice question or a multiple choice question?"

Queen Chen was stunned, and said in her heart: It is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, this ginger is still old and spicy, and this speech will know its depth. He didn't answer her question first, but gave her a question. She steadied her mind and then asked, "What does King Ruiqing mean by this?" What do you say about multiple-choice questions, and what do you say about multiple-choice questions? ”

King Ruiqing seemed to be prepared, his habitually squinted eyes, a line slightly opened in the slit of his eyes, if it weren't for the light shooting out of his eyes, others would have thought he was asleep. "A multiple-choice question is a two-choice choice, that is, choose one of two people, and a multiple-choice question, it is one of three people?"

Although King Ruiqing's words were not very loud, everyone in the position listened to them attentively, so they listened to it word for word. Listening to what he said, everyone couldn't help but feel slightly strange.

Emperor Chu currently has only three sons, the third prince, Chu Jingqiu, the fourth prince, Chu Jingze, the fifth prince, Chu Jingnan. The fourth prince, because of his physical disability, has been living in Phoenix Mountain and has lost his qualification to be the heir. At present, the most qualified to be the emperor's heir are the third prince and the fifth prince.

Because the fifth prince is supported by Empress Chen and the ministers, his biggest competitor is the third prince Chu Jingqiu. At this time, I heard King Ruiqing say that there was a third choice, so everyone felt very strange.

"I don't know who the third choice King Ruiqing said? If there is really a better choice than Nan'er and Jing Qiu, I am curious, who is that person? Empress Chen's words were flat, and she didn't seem to be much shocked.

King Ruiqing smiled faintly, as if he had guessed that everyone would have such a reaction, so he said, "I'll leave a suspense first, I want to hear General Feng's opinion." ”

Feng Qingyun saw that King Ruiqing pointed the finger at him, and said in his heart, what an old fox, you have hung everyone's appetite, but you came to ask my opinion, not to lead me to the muzzle. No matter what medicine you sell in your gourd, I still stick to my opinion.

After making up his mind, he talked about Kaikai: "Since ancient times, it is a more ancient truth, just like we must have experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, and then continue to pass on the offspring, from generation to generation, a truth." Throughout history, the abolition of the long and the young, and the breaking of conventions, most of the causes were turmoil in the government and the opposition, and a greater struggle for the throne. At that time, if one control is not good, it will become a new catastrophe. Our Great Chu has been fighting again and again, and the treasury is empty, and this is the time when all industries are waiting to be prosperous, and if it is because of the heir to the throne, I am afraid that it will cause new turmoil. In this southern expedition, the three princes commanded well and advanced and retreated, so that we achieved a big victory with very little effort. If we have such a wise man, presumably, in the future, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone will live a rich and happy life. ”

King Ruan Cheng couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw that Feng Qingyun said it very well, and hurriedly echoed: "What General Feng said is extremely true, the third prince has a gentle temperament and is extremely intelligent, and this time the recovery of the Southern Clan is even more indispensable. When the first emperor was alive, he had already put the matter of electing the crown prince on the agenda, and only waited for the third prince to come back before discussing it. In his words, he praised the three princes even more. On the contrary, the five princes were cruel by nature at a young age, and the things they did were even more pointed out by thousands of people, and they still wanted Niangniang to think twice, if they still insisted on going their own way, I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public.
