The Sacred Heart is unfathomable.

After Luo Cheng returned to the Duke of Chu, he immediately found Wei Zheng, and then the two closed the door of the study and discussed secretly. He kept things simple, and then asked the old way.

"What do you think the Emperor's purpose is?"

Wei Zheng said unabashedly, "After all, the emperor has a thin heir, a total of four, and two died early and died young, and now there are two sons, since the emperor has made up his mind to pass on to the emperor's grandson, then the thirty-year-old King Qi will definitely be more stable than staying." ”

"It is not only conducive to the inheritance of the throne in the future, but also to avoid the king of Qi, who likes to mess around, to die and kill two birds with one stone. Moreover, the emperor sealed the king of Qi to Korea, which may not mean that he will monitor and deter you in turn. After all, if you really have to make a move, there is a prince of the clan, and there is a banner in the court. ”

Luo Cheng nodded.

"But it is estimated that the emperor is more concerned about placing the king of Qi, after all, this one really likes to die, originally he wanted to be honest, and the position of the prince has long been his, which turn will be the three emperors and grandsons."

Wei Zheng said with a smile.

"In fact, having this King of Qi sealed to North Korea is not necessarily a bad thing. In case the situation in the Central Plains is really erosive in the future, you can also divide Liaodong, thinking that it is the foundation of the start, and then you can push out this King of Qi to support it first, and it is not bad to be a puppet in the front desk, so that you can also compete with Luoyang and Daxing. ”

The old way is worthy of the old way, like Luo Cheng, he has long felt that the surface of the Great Sui is still beautiful now, but the foundation has been shaken and crumbling.

Even a general like Luo Cheng, who was completely promoted by the emperor, has second-hand preparations, how can the emperor be stable in the world for a long time.

This emperor likes to parade, who knows where he will die one day, but the Great Sui has no clan division, this practice will certainly help the central court to centralize power in peacetime, and it will not be out of the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty.

But once the emperor dies, if the new emperor fails to succeed to the throne immediately, or when the world is in turmoil, it will definitely be easy for all parties to support the Son of Heaven.

In that case, if Luo Cheng had a King of Qi in his hands, he could naturally support a Son of Heaven, so that he would not have to listen to the orders of other imperial courts, and he could also coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

"Did the emperor say how the two sons of King Qi would be divided?"

"The emperor said that the second son of King Qi is still young, so he should be kept in the palace, and when he becomes an adult, he will consider dividing it to the border."

"It is estimated that this is the second hand to deal with the King of Qi, leaving the second son of the King of Qi in Beijing, which can be regarded as a hostage, but for us, it doesn't matter."

To say that the Sui Dynasty fell so quickly in history, in fact, it does have something to do with the clan system of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang was very wary of the clan because he was vying for the throne that year, and later encountered a rebellion from his brothers.

It is impossible to completely lock up the clan in the capital as pigs, not to mention the establishment of the country in the feudal places, or even to let them go out as officials.

Therefore, the day was in turmoil, and the Sui Dynasty did not have a clan relative who commanded the army and held power in the local area.

Wei Zheng asked Luo Cheng with some curiosity, "Who do you think the emperor will eventually appoint as the crown prince?" ”

"When it is the king of Yan." Just looking at the fact that no matter where the emperor went over the years, he only took King Yan with him, and you can know that the emperor really loves King Yan the most, and has always cultivated and taught him as a prince. And it is said that this King Yan is indeed doing well, very smart and wise, very much like his father Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande.

Even if he is not the eldest grandson, the emperor has always acted according to the rules, and he can not make a prince for eight years, in order to wait for Yang Qi to grow up.

When Yang Qi grows up a little more, he will force him to be the crown prince, and the resistance he will encounter will be even less.

Just like now, the emperor sent Yang Jun to North Korea in order to help Yang Qi clear an obstacle.

At the end of the first month.

The emperor issued an edict and awarded Yang Jun, the king of Qi, as the governor of Lelang County, and set aside a hundred miles of land in Pyongyang, Beijiang River, to give Yang Jin, and removed 1,000 households from the Central Plains to Yang Jin as a feudal household, and the emperor also gave Yang Jin 2,000 soldiers and horses for his own soldiers in the tent.

And just three days later.

The first day of February.

The emperor issued an edict again.

Canonized the emperor's eldest grandson, Yan Wang Yang Qi, as the emperor's grandson and called the crown prince.

The three divisions and three young teachers of the East Palace, the prince and the prince teach literature, the prince and the prince teach martial arts, the prince and the prince protect their safety, and the three young are the deputy of the three divisions.

And the central government system is proposed, and the Menxia Fang and the Dianshufang and the Jialing Temple are set up.

The East Palace also placed the Ten Rate Mansion, that is, the left and right guard rates.

The emperor granted Luo the title of the crown prince, the young master and the crown prince's left guard.

However, although the young master of the crown prince is a high-ranking official of the second grade, it is just a false award, after all, Luo Cheng is still the envoy of Anton, and it is impossible to assist the prince and the prince to teach the prince martial arts in Beijing, and it is impossible to help the prince lead his Donggong left guard to lead the people.

In fact, almost all the official positions in the East Palace are set up in imitation of the central official system, and the vast majority of the East Palace officials are only concurrently held by courtiers.

As Luo Cheng expected.

The emperor did not establish a prince for eight years, and suddenly announced the establishment of a prince, although it caused a shock to the Manchu Dynasty, but few people dared to openly oppose it, in fact, there were opponents, but the emperor did not listen.

In this respect, the Emperor once again showed his arbitrariness.

He made up his mind, and the eight cows couldn't pull it back.

Among the several prime ministers, Su Wei, Pei Yun and others didn't let go of a fart, Xiao Yu, the new prime minister, spoke, he said that he should set up a grandson to replace the king, but the emperor told him to shut up.

Then other ministers also played and said that they should be established, and then the emperor reprimanded, saying that they were not qualified to object, saying that this was a family matter of the Son of Heaven, and that the crown prince could only be discussed by the emperor and the prime minister.

After such a while, although there are still ministers who are not afraid of death, Yu Shiji and other prime ministers do not present these recitals to the emperor at all.

The emperor couldn't see any objection at all, and thought that the hundred officials had really obeyed his decision, so the emperor was in a good mood.

Immediately announced that he would lead a hundred officials to Xijing Daxing City, and he ordered Fan Zigai, the eastern capital, to assist Yue Wang Dong to stay.

Luo Cheng sent the emperor away in Luoyang, and then began to leave Luoyang for Liaodong to take office. The route he took was the route he took to gather in Zhuo County when he first conquered Liao.

The king of Qi, Yang Hui, accompanied Luo Cheng, and the emperor asked Luo Cheng to escort Yang Xuan into Liao, and then sent a team of soldiers and horses to send him to the Pyongyang fiefdom after arriving in Liaodong.

Of course, because the five counties of North Korea are still in the hands of the Yuan clan and Yang Wanchun, it is difficult to say whether this Lelang Changshi can take office, but the emperor is not in a hurry, only said that after Luo Cheng pacifies Liaodong, it is not too late to send troops to escort King Qi to his post.

In a word, the crown prince is newly established, and Yang Hui, the king of Qi, is no longer suitable to stay by the emperor's side, and it is even better not to step into Guanzhong again in this life.

Luo Cheng rode on the horse and looked at Yang Yong, the king of Qi who was riding a white horse in front of him.

Yang Jun is very handsome, thirty years old, is the most attractive age for men, after several years of house arrest, this once flying and domineering King of Qi, now like a bird that has just come out of the cage, he is happy to see everything.

Behind him were two thousand Qi kings' tent pro-army, these two thousand people were transferred from the Xiaoguo army, six hundred light horsemen, and one thousand fourteen foot soldiers. It is said that it is the personal guard of the King of Qi, but it is obvious that this is the emperor's jailer who takes care of the King of Qi.

Perhaps, they also have a secret order to supervise Luo Cheng.
