Chapter 212: The eldest son

Wang Yan traveled all the way, and when he got out of Sima Gate, he went straight to the palace.

And Liu Rong has just returned to the palace, and in the studio hall, his butt is not yet hot.

Then I saw the king enter the palace and report: "Your Highness, the prince wants to see His Highness."

Hearing this, Liu Rong personally went out of the palace, and when Wang Yan saw Liu Rong, he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty urgently orders you to enter the palace."

When he came out of the chestnut palace, he had already thought that it was impossible for his father not to know about this matter, and he had to summon himself to the palace.

But I didn't want it to be so fast, and it wasn't even two hours before my father's call came.

Liu Rong didn't say much, and followed Wang Yan into Weiyang Palace.

After some communication, Liu Rong finally entered the Qilin Palace, but as soon as he entered the hall, Liu Rong found that there seemed to be no one else in the hall except for his father.

"The sons and daughters visit their father", Liu Rong saluted.

I saw that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said unusually calmly: "It's the prince who is here, sit down."

After his father's words, Liu Rong noticed that the side of the hall seemed to be sitting in a good place.

"Thank you, Father!" After a word of thanks, he knelt down in the banquet.

However, after Liu Rong sat down, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, didn't say a word.

At this time, Liu Rong looked up at his father sitting on the bed, and couldn't stop yy in his heart: Could it be that his father wants to confess his guilt............

After thinking for a while, Liu Rong got up, walked to the hall, and saluted his father: "The son is not filial to ask his father to punish the crime."

The crime of unfilial piety, but it is a big crime, last time Wang Wan used Li Ji under the anger to put the charge of unfilial piety on Liu Rong.

However, at this moment, Liu Rong took such a charge on himself.

Seeing that this kid was so knowledgeable, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, really calmed down.

"Kuri Hime's business, but what did you do?".

Hearing what his father said, Liu Rong told him exactly what happened in Li Ji's bedroom.

After that, Liu Rong knelt on the ground and said: "Mother is furious, this is all the fault of her sons, please punish my father!" ”。

At this time, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, felt that his son was good at everything, but he was such an unwise mother............

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, sighed and said, "I know about this matter, I have my own decision, step down."

Hearing this, Liu Rong got up and saluted: "Thank you father, your son will retire!" ”。

And this matter was completely gone, and no one in the entire palace knew about it.

However, the palace maid attendants in the Kurithime Palace have undergone a major blood change.

The previous palace maids and attendants didn't know where they went, as if they had evaporated from the world.

The slaves and maids in the Qilin Palace, after hearing the rumors that the attendants and maids in the palace of Li Ji Niangniang, were all afraid for a while, but they were afraid that such a thing would happen to them one day............

…………………………………………………………………………

Back in the womb, Liu Rong reconsidered his mother's affairs.

There is no doubt that he is the son of Li Ji, and when he was young, his mother also loved him.

But since Liu Rong began to act and wanted to compete for the crown, his mother, began to break with himself step by step.

Just a few months before he was canonized as the crown prince, he went to report himself to Mrs. Dou......

Now she is desperate to prevent herself from marrying the daughter of her "enemy" Liu Yan.

is simply a stumbling block on the road to Liu Rong's success, but even if Li Ji is at fault, no matter how you say it, she is still Liu Rong's mother.

In this way, in the face of anything, Liu Rong, who has never been timid, really doesn't know where to put his mother Li Ji, and he has no idea where to start.

If he waits until he ascends the throne in the future, if Li Ji becomes the queen mother, he may have to do something.

The queen mother of the Han family is a person who stands on the top of the pyramid of power, and when she becomes the queen mother, no one can shake her position.

Thinking of this, Liu Rong had a headache..................

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Rong thought of a strategy, maybe he could solve the current situation.

At this moment, the queen is still Queen Bo, but her mother-in-law, but this is also the only time in the 60 years since the founding of the Han family, the crown prince is not the son of the queen.

If you can get your father and succeed yourself to the name of Queen Bo, then everything will naturally be fine.

Therefore, even if Liu Rong is now the prince, there are huge hidden dangers.

…………………………………………………………………………

The system of primogeniture established in the Zhou period has continued and has been passed down for nearly 3,000 years.

It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the primogeniture inheritance system was secretly given by Yongzheng.

However, the Qing Dynasty was able to implement the secret establishment of the reserve in this way, but the Han family before the Western Yuan Dynasty came to this hand, and it was bound to be impossible to succeed.

Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, China has entered the era of feudal imperial system that lasted for 2,000 years from a slave society.

The two thousand years of feudal imperial era can also be said to be the process of imperial power reaching its peak step by step.

In the Qin period and the early years of the Han family, the power of the prime minister was very large, and it can be said that if he faced an emperor with a weak temperament, the prime minister was completely able to encroach on the imperial power step by step.

When it came to Liu Yu, Liu Yu, such a strong emperor, naturally did not want the prime minister to have such great power in his hands.

The whole court has become two important institutions, one is the middle dynasty composed of generals, scholars, etc., also known as the inner court or the inner court, which is a decision-making organ; The other is the foreign dynasty headed by the prime minister, which has become a government agency.

Having lost most of his decision-making power, the prime minister has become an ornament.

And by the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, a system of three provinces and six ministries was created, with Chinese books, Shangshu, and subordinates, and the officials of the three provinces were all prime ministers.

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty was also very miserable, and set up a governor to participate in political affairs, that is, a deputy prime minister, and divided the administrative power of the prime minister. The Privy Council was set up to divide the military power of the prime minister, and three divisions were set up to divide the financial power of the prime minister.

Until the Ming Dynasty, after Hu Weiyong, Lao Zhu was completely abolished, and the prime minister who was "in the way" was led by the emperor alone.

However, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was able to make a so-called secret reserve so easily, because the imperial power had swelled to a point where it could no longer be expanded.

There is almost no one who can stop the emperor and want to do what he wants, so whoever is appointed as the prince can be made by the emperor alone.

In the Han Dynasty, this was absolutely impossible, if the Son of Heaven was like this, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not accompany the Son of Heaven to play like this, let alone the Queen Mother in the harem.

In this way, if you can change the identity of the eldest son of your son of heaven to the identity of the eldest son, it is equivalent to adding an insurance to yourself.

In Chinese history, it seems that the person who ascended to the crown prince as the eldest son is difficult to abolish it.

However, Li Jiancheng is like this, Li Jiancheng is not really as unbearable as written in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he himself is still very capable, otherwise, he will not be able to attract courtiers like Wei Zheng to be loyal to him.

However, the tragedy of Li Jiancheng is that he met a younger brother who is more capable than him, and the way to govern lies in balance, above the court, and not to let the family dominate, if so, the first thing to bear the brunt is the imperial power.

Li Er's step-by-step expansion was deliberately done by Li Yuan, in order to use Li Er to check and balance Li Jiancheng.

However, the final result, of course, was not as Li Yuan originally envisioned.

Li Yuan took off his ............

In the Xuanwumen Change, Li Er killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and by the way, he also robbed his younger brother and daughter-in-law to play......

Li Yuan was seized of power, got the title of Emperor Taishang, and took revenge on Li Er day and night in the palace by adding a younger brother to Li Er.

There are means such as Li Er, if you want to overthrow the crown prince, who is the eldest son, you can only achieve your goal through mutiny.

Another person like Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor of Mingshenzong, wants to do the most in his life is to abolish Zhu Changluo, the eldest son born to the queen, and set up the son of the concubine Zheng, the blessed king Zhu Changxun.

However, the final result of the struggle ended in the defeat of Emperor Wanli, and Zhu Changluo still ascended the throne as emperor.

In this way, being able to become the eldest son of the grandson is naturally a good thing with all the benefits and no harm.

However, this matter still has to be done on Queen Bo.

Queen Bo has a calm temperament and does not like to interfere in the affairs of the court, and her father has snubbed her for many years, and she has never seen when she has complained.

He also said that once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, Bo's relatives, after experiencing Bo Zhao's death, became more and more cautious after so many years.

I have always dared to ask the emperor for anything at will, even if it is like today's son Liu Qi's favor believes in Empress Bo.

"Honest duty" seems to be about to become the motto of the Bo family.

However, Liu Rong was sure that if he expressed his intentions, whether it was Queen Bo in the harem, or the current helmsman of the Bo family, the Marquis Bo Rongnu, or even anyone in the Bo family, they would not object.

The most irresistible temptation in this world is the benefits that can be touched with the naked eye, even with the hands.

If you get this benefit, you don't have to pay any price, as long as you are not a madman, you will accept it.

This matter, even if Queen Bo does not allow it, the people of the Bo family will know about it, and they will definitely ask Queen Bo to agree one after another.

Of course, the crown prince will be succeeded to his own name, and he is now the queen, and when the prince succeeds to the throne, he will be the justifiable queen mother, who doesn't want it?

"It seems that I am going to enter the palace to meet my mother in the near future", walked to the window, pushed open the closed window in front of him, and looked at Liu Rong, who was drizzling outside the window, and said to himself.

………………………………………………………………………

Liu Rong was thinking in his heart, how to find Queen Bo, and on the other hand, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was also pondering, at this moment, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was already a little eager to get rid of Li Ji in his heart.

But this kind of thing still has to find an opportunity to do, and if Kurithime dies without warning, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

While Liu Qi was pondering, Wang Yan entered the Qilin Palace.

Saluted to Liu Qiyi: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician Order is already waiting outside the palace at this time, and it is time to ask Your Majesty for a pulse."

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, came back to his senses and said, "Call him in."

However, after a while, the imperial physician Ling Chun Yuyi followed Wang Yan into the palace.

For the Son of Heaven, Chun Yuyi saluted and said: "Your Majesty's illness has improved recently, and it may not take long to recover."

Hearing Chun Yuyi say this, he is naturally happy that he has a better day for his lung disease.

Even if he was rewarded with fifty gold.

Hearing the bounty of the Son of Heaven, Chun Yuyi naturally wanted to thank him.

"The old minister thanks Your Majesty for the reward, but there is still one more word, I want to speak to Your Majesty."

I saw that Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was struggling and said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Putting down the medicine sachet in his hand, Chun Yuyi said again: "Your Majesty's illness can't stand the cold, but when Chang'an arrives in the middle of summer, it is also a scorching heat, and it is not good for Your Majesty's physical recovery."

For this reason, the minister advises Your Majesty that when the heat is scorching, it is better to go to a summer resort."

Where else can the Han Emperor take refuge in the summer, naturally it must be Ganquan Palace.

However, at this time, thinking of Ganquan Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, seemed to have thought of the rest........................
