Chapter 214: The Prince

"Xuan".

"No!" , Wang Yan saluted and turned to leave.

Not long after, Dou Guangguo came with Wang Yan into the palace.

Dou Guangguo, who was dressed in a black robe, saluted as soon as he entered the hall: "The old minister greets Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, what is the so-called matter of Zhang Wuhou coming here?" , Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked.

Hearing this, I saw Dou Guangguo say with a straight face: "The minister is here to report to Your Majesty!" ”。

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, knows his uncle very well, if he has nothing serious, he will never come to the palace to see him at this time.

In this way, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, frowned, "What's the matter, the prince can speak bluntly."

"The old minister heard that the younger brother of Wang Meiren in the harem recently bribed the courtiers to impeach His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor!"

"But there is such a thing", said Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

Dou Guangguo said this, Liu Qi was also very strange, and he muttered secretly in his heart, is he going to intercede for Wang Huan?

However, in the eyes of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, he will not be such a person.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, did not speak again, and Dou Guangguo continued to say: "The old minister is here because of this matter!" ”。

After speaking, he said again: "The rebellion of Wu Chu and Wu Kingdom, and even the two brothers of the Tian family at this time, are all because of an undecided matter, so it will be like this!" ”。

"What's the matter?".

Then, Dou Guangguo knelt down and said: "The old minister came today, so I ask Your Majesty to set up the prince as soon as possible, go to the temple of Anzong, and make up the heart of the subjects of the Son of Heaven!" ”。

If it weren't for Dou Guangguo today, if he was replaced by another courtier, even if he had such an idea in his heart, he would definitely not dare to speak to Liu Qi, the son of heaven.

The matter of establishing the crown prince is not only a family affair of the royal family itself, but also a major event related to the inheritance of the Han family.

Naturally, it is necessary to be cautious and then cautious, as long as the prince is established, it cannot be easily abolished.

Liu Rong in history was finally deposed and died, and a large part of the reason was because he did nothing during the three precious years he was the crown prince......

As the prince of the Han family, the future emperor, in the years that he was the prince, he could neither assist the Son of Heaven in dealing with the government, nor could he make suggestions to stabilize the world, so useless prince, what use did he want?

And Liu Rong at this moment is completely different from Liu Rong in history.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "What Zhang Wuhou said is very good, and the establishment of a prince may also be a matter of stabilizing the society."

And Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally already had a mind and wanted to canonize Liu Rong as the Son of Heaven at this time.

But there is also a lack of an appropriate time, and Dou Guangguo's hand is naturally a great opportunity.

However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, sighed again: "Back then, Emperor Xianxiaowen was such a holy son of heaven, and as a prince and king, he entered Chang'an and ascended the throne as emperor. However, the ministers advised to set up a prince, and the first emperor thought of virtue and thinness, and did not set up a prince.

However, the virtue of Zhen, compared to the previous emperor, is much inferior, how can it be easy to set up a prince, if the prince is not virtuous, what face face face in the temple of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowen in the heavenly spirit."

Dou Guangguo naturally heard that Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was saying polite words, and then said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has ruled by benevolence and filial piety, pacified the rebellion of the princes, and stabilized the world of the Han family. ”。

"It's been said since."

In the end, after some prevarication by Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, he felt that Dou Guangguo had no choice but to retreat.

However, although he did not seek the crown prince of the Son of Heaven Liu Qiying, he also achieved his goal.

Solidly, after leaving the Qilin Palace, Dou Guangguo's face did not show any disappointment at all.

…………………………………………………………………………

However, in just a few days, it was time for the court to discuss again, and Dou Guangguo, the Marquis of Zhangwu, who had not appeared in the court for several years, actually appeared outside the Xuanshu Hall with Dou Ying.

Seeing Dou Guangguo coming here, the courtiers were naturally a little surprised, and it was only at this time that they noticed that the Dou family also had a person who was trusted by Emperor Xiaowen and the current emperor, Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu.

Liu Rong arrived outside the Xuanshu Hall and saw Dou Guangguo, even if he was close to the front, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he naturally couldn't call him an uncle and grandfather, but said: "I've seen the prince, the prince has always been good?" ”。

Dou Guangguo smiled and said, "Your Highness Xie is worried, and the old minister is okay."

While the two were talking, they saw a messenger walk in front of the Qilin Hall and said in a long voice: "Your Majesty - here!" ”。

Hearing this, the courtiers present immediately stopped speaking and walked into the propaganda room with a jade wat in hand.

When all the ministers arrived in the Xuan room, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, wearing cotton clothes and a crown of twelve crowns, stepped into the Qilin Hall surrounded by a group of attendants and maids.

When Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, sat down, the ministers immediately saluted with a jade wat and said, "The ministers will meet Your Majesty!" ”。

Looking at the ministers in the hall who saluted, Liu Qidang, the Son of Heaven, even said: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!" ”。

"Thank you, Your Majesty".

However, without waiting for Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, to say more, Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, said what he said to Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, a few days ago, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: "Please also ask Your Majesty to establish the prince as soon as possible, go to the temple of Anzong, and make up the hearts of the subjects of the world!" ”。

After speaking, he immediately knelt on the top of the main hall.

As soon as Dou Guangguo's words came out, the courtiers present were all stunned on the spot.

There was no slightest conscription at all, and Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, was actually above the court, and directly admonished the Son of Heaven and asked His Majesty to establish the prince as soon as possible.

In that year, in the first year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, Prime Minister Shen Tujia once said that His Majesty would establish the crown prince to settle the country.

However, what did Liu Qi, the son of heaven, say, when even if he was scared, he had nothing to say, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"As soon as I succeeded to the throne, the prime minister hurriedly played to me, please make a prince, is it because I wish I had something to do?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Tujia was so frightened that he almost vomited blood on the spot, and he went home for more than half a month, and then he was relieved........................

The previous Son of Heaven of the Han family, at the beginning of his succession to the throne for a long time, set up a prince, Emperor Gao Liu Bang and Emperor Wen Liu Rong were like this, but since the matter of Shen Tujia, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to easily say anything to the Son of Heaven about the establishment of a prince.

But now, Dou Guangguo, who has always been His Majesty's confidant, actually asked His Majesty to make a prince, and everyone present has only one idea at this moment, which must be His Majesty's intention!

After his words were finished, Zhou Yafu, who was kneeling and begging for forgiveness, also knelt down and saluted: "Please Your Majesty set up the prince as soon as possible, go to the temple of Anzong, and make up your mind about the hearts of the subjects of the world!" ”。

Then the imperial historian made a mistake, and also said: "The minister thinks that what Zhang Wuhou and the prime minister said is very true!" ”。

However, Dou Ying, Jia Yi, Zhang Shizhi, and even Ting Weizhi, who were the ministers of Jiuqing, all got up and walked to the hall to worship: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”。

In this way, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, hundreds of people, all knelt down to the Son of Heaven Liu Qi and asked His Majesty to make the crown prince.

However, the courtiers all knelt on the ground, leaving Liu Rong standing alone in the hall.

The courtiers knelt down and begged the father to establish the prince, and as a prince, if he also knelt down and begged the father to establish the prince, it would not be reasonable, so that others would think that he was in a hurry to be the prince.

But seeing that the courtiers were like this, they had to bow to their father.

However, when Liu Qi, the son of heaven, saw this, his heart was happy, but on the surface, he still sighed helplessly: "I am a person with thin virtue, how can I lightly talk about the establishment of a son as a prince."

It is as if Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, is imitating what the ministers said when Emperor Wen asked for the crown prince.

Dou Guangguo said again: "Your Majesty's holy virtue is rare in ancient and modern times, and I also ask Your Majesty to take my Han Jiangshan Sheji as the priority, and set up a prince to settle the world!" ”。

"The ministers seconded it!".

"The ministers seconded it!".

And Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, sighed again and again: "Zhongqing is like this, where am I going to be."

Well, in this case, who do you think can be the prince? ”。

Hearing this, the attention of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty was all focused on Liu Rong, who was standing in front of the main hall and bowing his hand.

The courtiers present, who didn't know, the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong was favored by His Majesty, but Liu Rong's status at this moment was almost the same as that of the crown prince.

An ordinary prince, where is he qualified to participate in the court meeting.

Dou Guangguo even said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, is benevolent and filial piety, and is worthy of a great responsibility, and he has to be the first to be filial piety to Emperor Wen, but he can be the temple of Anzong."

And the ancients Yin Zhou had a country, and the law of Zhou was thousands of years old, and the law of Zhou was established as a son, and he would be the elder, and he would never be far away! Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, is also an elder, but he is also virtuous, so that he can be virtuous and virtuous, so he can make the Han family stable, please see it clearly! ”。

…………………………………………………………………………

As soon as these words came out, before Liu Qi, the son of heaven, could speak, Liu Rong, who was standing on the side, felt dizzy, and his excited heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Liu Rong never expected that the person who jumped out and said that his father made himself the prince would be Dou Guangguo.

Prince, just ask which prince doesn't want to do it, but since Liu Rong arrived in the Western Han Dynasty, he has been moving towards this goal.

More than ten years have passed, and now we finally see the dawn of success.

If it is said that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, should be appointed as a prince, the eyes of the courtiers are focused on Liu Rong, the most advantageous dark horse in the battle for succession.

As soon as Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, said this, some courtiers wanted to rush up and hug Liu Rong's thigh now.

Liu Rong naturally noticed the fiery gaze of the courtiers, and what Liu Rong had to do at this moment was to respond to all changes with the same, no matter how the courtiers looked at him, he had to stand in the hall without humility or arrogance.

The prince of the Han family, if he can't even pass this test, he doesn't need to be the prince anymore.

Glancing at Dou Guangguo, who was kneeling on the ground and saluting, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, cleared his throat and asked, "What do you think?" If Qing and others know that there are more suitable candidates, they can also say."

"What Zhang Wuhou said is very true, the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong, who has both ability and political integrity, should be the best candidate for the crown prince", Zhou Yafu said.

Zhou Yafu's good impression of Liu Rong can be traced back to the time of Emperor Wen, when Liu Rong went to the Xiliu camp with Emperor Wen.

It was also the first meeting between Zhou Yafu and Liu Rong, and Zhou Yafu felt that this son was unusual that day.

Subsequently, the people of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they had prejudices against Liu Rong or not, said like Zhou Yafu that the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong should be the crown prince.

Seeing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, coughed lightly and asked Liu Rong, "Liu Rong, what do you think of this matter?" ”。

When I heard my father say this, Liu Rong was almost incoherent, how do I have to say it myself.

Suppressing the throbbing and excitement in his heart, Liu Rong saluted and said: "Back to his father, the son did not say to Zhang Wuhou, he is so virtuous, please see his father."

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, laughed.

As soon as the laughter fell, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, suddenly said: "Since this is the case, I will follow the advice of the people!" ”。
