"What do you think?" After listening to Zheng Yongji's words, Zhang Lingyang was greatly moved, and glanced at the ministers in the hall and asked.

"Wechen is against!" Yu Shi, who had stubbornly held his own opinion before, continued to object: "Your Majesty, I have dozens of Great Zhou vassal states, and in addition to Burma, there are also Goryeo, Annam, Siam and other countries. ”

"That's a mistake!" Zheng Yongji continued to play the role of the vanguard, and stood up against it: "The special situation of Myanmar has forced Your Majesty to make this decision, if there is someone in the Burmese royal family now, Your Majesty will not make this decision." ”

"What Elder Zheng Ge said is extremely true!" Seeing the situation, Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department, also echoed: "The Burmese royal family is now slaughtered and facing a situation where there is no one to inherit the throne.

Your Majesty's willingness to give up family affection and let the prince go to Burma to inherit the throne of the monarch is an expression of great affection and righteousness, and we, as important ministers of the court, should support Your Majesty's approach.

Besides, it is also reasonable and legal for His Majesty to canonize the prince as the successor monarch of Burma, so what is there to discuss? ”

Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, also came out and echoed: "What Zhu Shangshu said is very true, the prince was canonized as the king of the vassal country, which is a reasonable and legal thing, if anyone dares to oppose it, then the old man thinks that this person must have a heart for the court and His Majesty." ”

"Huh? Chen Aiqing can't say that! Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said, "Since some people are opposed, it means that the handling of me and the imperial court is not appropriate enough, and their opposition is understandable."

Besides, these sons of mine also grew up in the land of wealth, and I am worried that they will not be able to adapt to the wilderness of Burma! I don't want the white-haired people to send the black-haired people when the time comes, I just look at what Zheng Aiqing said before.

As for the matter of Burma, we will always find a good solution if we discuss it again, right? ”

"Your Majesty's love for his son is also known to his ministers, but the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and now the monarch of Myanmar is bedridden, and no one knows how long he can survive.

Once the monarch of Myanmar dies and there is no successor, I am afraid that the situation in Myanmar will be twists and turns again.

Therefore, for the sake of the society and the thousands of people in Myanmar, Wechen implored His Majesty to give up his love for his son, and select qualified candidates from among the princes as early as possible to succeed the next monarch of Myanmar. ”

Zheng Yongji said pleadingly, and tears appeared faintly in the corners of his eyes, which made Zhang Lingyang feel 'compassion'.

At the same time, Zhu Kaishan also echoed and said: "What Elder Zheng Ge said is very true, Your Majesty, as the king of a country, please put aside the love of children for the time being, and for the sake of the Great Zhou Jiangshan Society, he issued a decree to crown the prince as the successor monarch of Burma." ”

"Weichen seconded!"

"Your Majesty, the princes are your own flesh and blood, aren't the thousands of people of my Great Zhou Dynasty your flesh and blood? Are not the people of the vassal kingdom your people? You can't ignore the people of the vassal country for your own selfishness, please make an order quickly! ”

"Who is this? So explicitly spoken? Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang's face was a little red, and he looked down, but saw that it was Cao Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In the eyes of other ministers who didn't know the situation, the reason why Zhang Lingyang blushed was because he was forced by the minister to abandon his beloved son and go to hot and humid Burma, so he reacted so angrily.

But now among the six ministries and nine secretaries, there are already three ministers of the main officials to advise, and there is also the first assistant Zheng Yongji to argue on the basis of reason, how to look at it, the matter of the prince being 'sent' to Myanmar has become a foregone conclusion, so the next ministers rushed to echo the words of Zheng Yongji and others.

To use the word 'Fa Luo' to describe the future situation of that prince is actually not an exaggeration at all.

What is Myanmar? In the eyes of the ministers, the scholars of the world, and even the common people, Burma is a barren land. Being sent there means that the prince has been completely snubbed by the emperor, what is the difference between it and derogatory?

So few people think that this is Zhang Lingyang's trickery.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Lingyang seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said: "Since all of you Aiqing have suggested so, then I have to give up the love of my children."

However, I have many children, who do you think is up to the task? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the second prince is the best choice!" Zheng Yongji continued, "In addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the second prince is the oldest among the princes, and Wechen has also met the second prince a few times before, and his intelligence is outstanding, and the old man likes it very much, so Wechen elected the second prince as the successor to the monarch of Myanmar." ”

"Han'er?" Zhang Lingyang said "sure enough" in his heart, and continued to ask: "But even if the second prince is a little older, he will only be seven years old after the New Year, where can he afford the position of the king of a country?" You may wish to discuss it! ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the second prince is already the oldest among the princes, and he will succeed him as the monarch of Myanmar, and Weichen thinks it is very suitable." Zheng Yongji argued, "Besides, Weichen has already said before that before the prince becomes an adult, he is still raised under His Majesty's knees, and he will go to Myanmar to take up his post after he becomes an adult." In this way, it can not only fulfill His Majesty's father-son relationship, but also give an explanation to thousands of people in Myanmar, and I hope Your Majesty will not refuse. ”

"This ......," Zhang Lingyang hesitated, "Why don't I think about it again and give you another answer, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Everyone looked at each other, and Zheng Yongji said, "But Your Majesty also has to wait for an exact date for your ministers." When the time comes, His Majesty will decide who will be chosen. After all, if the Burmese monarch dies, it will be too late. ”

"I know, within seven days, I will give you an answer. If there is nothing to do, you love Qing and retreat! Zhang Lingyang waved his hand impatiently and walked out of the Zichen Palace......

Back in Chen'an Palace, Zhang Lingyang's brows furrowed slightly.

The previous rehearsal was not unsuccessful, but Zhang Lingyang didn't expect that at the end, Zheng Yongji suddenly gave himself a look.

In fact, in Zhang Lingyang's view, among the princes, except for the second prince, any one can succeed to the throne of Myanmar, except for the second prince Zhao Han.

For Zhao Han, the second prince, Zhang Lingyang still likes it very much.

The current Zhao Han is not yet seven years old, but when it comes to being smart and clever, he far exceeds the older prince Zhao Hao.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang felt that the second prince Zhao Han should be given a more important position, rather than succeeding to the position of the monarch of Myanmar.

Although it seems that the position of the monarch of Myanmar, a vassal state, is coveted, for the Great Zhou, Myanmar is far from excellent in terms of strategic location and natural conditions.

Even Borneo, which has been occupied, is far more strategically located than Burma, so Zhang Lingyang would rather canonize his second prince Zhao Han as the monarch of Borneo than the monarch of Burma......
