Ruan Donglang and Li Xun looked at each other a lot, finally looked away, and said softly: "I have admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, I don't know if the general can recommend one or two?" ”

Li Xun's heart jumped, a businessman, a lot of political help, but not absolutely, Ruan Donglang found him, he actually wanted to meet Zhao Xun, what was his intention?

Li Xun took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The ceremony has not yet been held, and the name of the prince cannot be taken lightly." ”

Ruan Donglang smiled: "General Li is too cautious. ”

"Ruan Donglang, it's not the first time that you and I have dealt with each other, so let's have something to say."

Li Xun put down the teacup and said bluntly.

Ruan Donglang nodded: "Does the general know about the Beijiang Society?" ”

Bac Giang Club? Li Xun still heard this name from Ouyang Li.

"On the way to Longyou to take up my post, I was almost poisoned by the Beijiang Society."

Ruan Donglang said silently: "At that time, I didn't know the general yet. ”

Ruan Donglang's words have already shown that he is a member of the Bac Giang Society.

Li Xun said: "You won't attack me for no reason, who is planning behind it?" ”

Ruan Donglang said softly: "Where there are people, there are grievances, and the things that the general did made some people hold grudges after all." ”

Li Xun's eyes narrowed, and he didn't ask more, the Baihuayuan Incident, the Jingyuan Temple Incident, whether intentionally or unintentionally, because of himself, there are still some people who have paid a heavy price.

Li Xun looked at Ruan Donglang: "Why do you want to tell me this?" ”

Ruan Donglang chuckled and said: "General, if you want to become friends, you must first be frank with each other, and then hope that the relationship with the general will go further." ”

Listening to Ruan Donglang's words, Li Xun was silent, there is no good for no reason in the world, and there is no hatred for no reason, Ruan Donglang does this, he must have his purpose, maybe it is Zhao Xun?

After pondering for a moment, Li Xun said silently: "King Qi has just become the crown prince, and it is the time to be cautious, and he may not be interested in you. ”

"I'm not interested, I'll know until I see it."

Ruan Donglang arched his hand and said: "I also asked the general to introduce on my behalf, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't prepare a gift, if I can get what I want, I will definitely repay him with a generous gift." ”

Li Xun's eyes jumped, Ruan Donglang has always been generous, the generous gift he said must not be simple, and the meaning of his words is also very clear, if he can see King Qi, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will not treat him badly Li Xun.

Li Xun thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

In the ninth year of Chengping, the twentieth day of the first month, this day is the day of the prince's ceremony.

The weight of the crown prince is by no means comparable to that of princes and county kings, it is not only the first heir to the throne, but also a representative of political identity.

The status of the crown prince is second only to the emperor in all dynasties, of course, this is only its political status, in the big family, the status of the prince is not as good as the queen, nor as good as any concubine, but if he becomes the emperor, the status is only inferior to the queen mother, the queen mother, and the emperor.

The crown prince had his own imperial court-like East Palace, that is, the small imperial court.

The official configuration of the East Palace is completely modeled after the system of the imperial court, and it also has a personal guard similar to the emperor's forbidden army, the "Prince Zhu Rate". And the wife and concubine of the crown prince are also like the emperor's concubines, with official titles, such as the crown princess, Liangdi, widow, etc.

The inheritance system of the Great Jin Dynasty is the primogeniture inheritance system, and women have no inheritance rights.

The principle of heirs is: "establish a successor and establish a long", that is, the order of inheritance is to give priority to the son-in-law and the elderly.

Among the sons born to the wife of the concubine (the queen), the eldest is the first heir, and if there is no concubine, the eldest of the concubines (not the sons born to the concubine) is the heir.

Another situation is that the son-in-law died early, then the son was appointed as the heir, that is, the emperor's grandson, but in this case, in the previous dynasties, pay attention to the brother to the end of the brother, the son of the brother, the son of the brother and the son-in-law, that more chaotic period, this situation often happens, but the Great Jin Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years, and it has not happened.

In addition to "establishing a long-term son", there is also a "son to be virtuous", that is, it depends on the virtue of the concubines, the most important is that the emperor "establishes the prince with love" is which son the emperor likes the most, and he is the prince, this situation has been in the Great Jin Dynasty a few times, but there are few, because it is very easy to cause a struggle for court power, such as Zhao Zhi, he is the eldest son of Pingzong The prince stepped down, and this succeeded in ascending to the throne, but the cruel struggle is difficult to explain.

On the other hand, the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor is also complex and contradictory.

The empire needs to continue, and the emperor needs to have an heir, but the existence of an heir will pose a certain threat to the imperial power.

Because the crown prince had great power, he often clashed with the emperor, which led to his deposition or death. For example, the prince of Pingzong, the prince of Wuzong, etc., becoming the prince too early is actually not a good thing, in the long years, many faced too many challenges, but when the emperor Zhao Zhi was already old, for the king of Qi, many problems do not need to be considered.

Even so, Zhao Zhi was really determined to promote Zhao Xun to become the crown prince until the end, before, there may have been other forces blocking it, but among them, is there no other idea of Zhao Zhi?

Why does Zhao Zhi have concerns? The canonization and abolition of the crown prince is not a simple matter, the people and things involved in it are too complicated, and the powerful crown prince, if he reigns for too long, is easy to clash with the reigning emperor, so that there will be rebellion and even murder. The former, such as Prince Pingzong, was dissatisfied with Pingzong's favor and concubine An, and began to favor Zhao Zhi, and sent the East Palace soldiers to punish him, and finally failed and was abolished, and the latter was killed by the prince before Hengzong before Wuzong, and many forces competed, and the young Wuzong finally picked up a big bargain.

On the other hand, it is even more common for the emperor's sons to fight each other and even fight each other because of the coveting of the crown prince's throne.

Usually, due to the above reasons, it is rare for the crown prince to be determined prematurely and succeed to the throne smoothly.

However, as the power of the emperor continued to increase, the power of the crown prince was weakened.

But on the other hand, it is precisely because the power of the crown prince no longer poses a threat to the emperor, and the emperor has enough power to restrain his other sons, so in the middle of the Great Jin Dynasty, for a period of time, the crown prince succeeded to the throne smoothly There are more people, but the three generations of emperors after Wuzong are all mediocre people, and many good political systems have been completely destroyed.

Due to the special and sensitive relationship between the crown prince and the emperor. Ministers have to be cautious in handling relevant matters. They did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders, nor did they want to offend the crown prince.

Before Zhao Zhi did not clarify the candidate for the crown prince, the political disputes in the court were diversified, the king of Qi, the king of Chu, the king of Yi, and even Zhao Zhi's other sons all had the support of ministers openly and secretly, but with the determination of the position of Zhao Xun as the crown prince, the situation in the court will definitely change, from the previous diversity, to two levels of confrontation.
