Chapter 1240: Killing the Mother and Sacrificing the Heavenly Prince

Tuoba's eyes widened: "What is the matter of killing the mother and establishing the child, teacher, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

Qinglong sighed: "King Wei, have you ever thought about a question, why since ancient times, the issue of the heir of the emperor has been fought for blood, father and son attack each other, fratricide, and even lead to the demise of a country and a dynasty?" ”

Tuoba Jue nodded: "I've been thinking about this question, thinking about it, I'm afraid it's because of power." As an emperor, he has the highest power, and this power is enough to make people crazy and do all things that violate ethics. ”

Qinglong Zhengse said: "Yes, it stands to reason that human ethics is one of the most valuable and beautiful things in the world, but the struggle for power is enough to destroy this beauty, behind every prince who seizes the throne, there is almost support from his mother's side, the so-called mother is more precious than the son, if a woman wants to be favored in the harem, she has to rely on giving birth to an heir to the emperor and continuing the bloodline, in turn, once the prince is born, she has the qualification to inherit the throne, then the power of the mother's family will inevitably increase, in the Han Dynasty, this is called foreign relatives interfering in politics, understand?" ”

Tuoba Jue said thoughtfully: "Well, the teacher once said that the Han Dynasty died when his relatives died, which is what he meant. ”

Qinglong smiled slightly: "Yes, the Han Dynasty did not have a fixed system for selecting talents, and whoever the emperor generally wants to use will marry the woman of that family to increase his power." For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell in love with Wei Qing and wanted him to lead his troops to fight, so he favored Wei Zifu, and later suspected Wei Qing's weight and was afraid that he would pose a threat, so he replaced him with the general Li Guangli. But on the other hand, if these noble imperial women can give birth to heirs, they will greatly strengthen their status and improve the status of the family. ”

Tuoba's eyes lit up: "So back then, the teacher strongly opposed my grandfather's marriage to the princess of the Murong Yan Kingdom, because he was afraid of attracting the power of the Murong family into the grassland, and the tail would not fall?" ”

Qinglong nodded: "That's right, Murong Yanguo is ambitious, and even the Central Plains wants to have it, not to mention this grassland, they sent the princess over to marry and gave birth to a bunch of sons, so that not only can you be favored, but also the relationship between your grandfather and the various tribes of the grassland, and even the relationship between your father's other sons and the sons born to her, it turns out that my worries are correct, although Tuoba Yanjun was provoked by others to kill his father and brother, but the root lies in this power struggle." Your father set up Princess Murong as the main family, and the son she gave birth to poses a threat to his other sons, even if he doesn't make trouble, he will be separated like the Murong family and go to the country. ”

"King Wei, don't blame Princess Murong, this is human nature, a woman, leave her family, marry away from home, or marry into the deep palace, and the emperor is a group of wives and concubines, it is not easy to see each other, in the end, only children can always be around, and when the children grow up, women often grow older, and the only way to keep their status at this time is to help their sons compete for the position of the prince, so this kind of struggle for the throne of the past dynasties often ends up in a struggle between the concubine families, and a woman who can become the king, often they are also high-powered, and even have heavy troops, and this fight will be a sign of the country's ruin. ”

Tuoba Jue sighed: "This truth is so simple and clear, these lessons are so profound, it's a pity that my eldest father didn't listen to your good words, married and entered the door, and finally the country was ruined, how painful!" ”

Qinglong sneered: "Now you, facing the same problem, Helan Min gave birth to a son who is probably not yours, at least, you don't like this son, and you don't want to pass on the throne to him, but, you swore in front of everyone that you want to make He Lanmin Ke Dun, the words are still in your ears, even if you only make her a lady now, but her son is qualified to inherit the position of Lord Wei, if you don't handle it well, then He Lanmin will use all his energy to support this son to compete for the throne in the future, no matter how much you have laid down the country, how much merit you have established, Maybe it's all going to be empty! ”

Tuoba Jue gritted his teeth: "Then what do you mean by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killing his mother and son?" Do you want me to kill He Lanmin and then make Tuoba Shao the crown prince? Then I might as well get rid of their mother and son together. ”

Qinglong smiled slightly: "In this way, others will only say that you are because you have another new love, or because you crossed the river and demolished the bridge after the Helan Department lost its use value, so that the people you worked hard to manage will be ruined in one fell swoop, and the gains outweigh the losses." King Wei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his wife and son, which means that he killed his favorite concubine Mrs. Gouyi in his later years, but set up the prince Liu Fuling born to her as the crown prince, because the mother is strong and the son is young, once Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dies in the future, this woman will definitely fornicate with the harem, seduce the adulterer's family power, and usurp power and seize the throne like Empress Lu. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought of this way, except for this woman, but kept her son, so as to avoid the harem interfering in politics and the dictatorship of foreign relatives. ”

"This is a very good system, although it is contrary to human morality, but it can put an end to this kind of phenomenon of relatives fighting for power through the establishment of concubines and princes, which leads to the division of the country. It's just that the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and this method was not insisted on in the end, but this gave the King of Wei a new idea, if you set the rules, if you want to make someone the prince, then ask his mother to show her magic and go to cast gold. ”

"On your grassland, minerals are scarce, and it is extremely difficult to succeed in the project of casting gold, even if it is the strength of the whole country, it may not be possible, and casting into a gold man means that you have been blessed by the gods, and it is reasonable to give happiness."

"However, the King of Wei, you can order, Jin Ren cast, you must let his mother go to heaven to accompany the gods, leaving his son to inherit the Great Wei in the world, in this way, whoever wants to fight for his son, then he has to lose his life first, in addition, he has to use all the resources that can be used around him, which is not only a manifestation of ability, but also really willing to give up everything, such a mother is great, and the son selected in this way will also be a well-deserved son of heaven, the prince of Wei!"

Hearing this, Tuoba's hair was about to stand up, and he shook his head incredulously: "This, is this okay?" Not only this time, but also for generations? We, our Tuoba clan, don't have such rules and traditions. ”

Qinglong said coldly: "You have to remember, you are the king of Wei, the name of the country has been changed, naturally you are the first monarch of this country, all the rules, you have the final say!" ”
