"Reluctant?" Zhang Lingyang stared at Queen Wang for a serious moment, and saw that Queen Wang's face did not seem to be fake, so he turned into a sigh, "Actually, I am also reluctant, who is a parent in the world who is willing to leave his children?" ”

Zhang Lingyang's words are true, in this world, whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people, who doesn't want to see their children and grandchildren full of children and grandchildren?

But what about reality?

The reality is brutal.

If Zhang Lingyang doesn't divide his princes out early, he is afraid that when he becomes an adult, it will be obvious that his brothers are in the palace wall.

Zhang Lingyang is not a great sage, and he doesn't think that just a few words of his own teachings can make his sons and brothers harmonious.

The temptation of the throne is too great, as long as the prince has the ability, who can refuse this temptation? That's why Zhang Lingyang thought that he should completely abandon the idea of the princes before they became minors as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhang Lingyang thought that there was still a certain amount of truth in what the ancients said, because in this way, infighting can be avoided as much as possible within a certain range.

If it is said to be virtuous and capable, it will undoubtedly intensify the infighting between the princes, and even fight to the death, and how many emperors in the world are willing to see their children kill each other?

Therefore, the vast majority of feudal dynasties in history have chosen to establish their successions.

Sometimes, even most of the time, the crown prince, who is the eldest son, is not the most capable of all the princes, but why does the emperor do this?

Zhang Lingyang thought, why do you want to do this?

In Zhang Lingyang's view, this can avoid internal friction to the greatest extent possible, because once the prince has ambitions, he will do whatever it takes, and the ministers will also join it in order to follow the dragon's merits, so that the state machine cannot operate normally.

After all, for the minister, the greatest credit in the world is the work of the dragon.

Especially for those military generals, perhaps they have fought the frontier for decades, and even expanded the territory for the imperial court, but they are not as rich as those from the dragon.

Since the greatest credit in the world is from the dragon's work, as long as the courtiers take refuge in a promising prince, and then keep digging holes for each other, who is willing to concentrate on doing things?

Because even if you do hundreds or thousands of good deeds, you may not be like the eyes of the Son of Heaven. But once you take refuge in a prince, this prince may just recommend him, and you will be able to rise to the top.

In such a situation, who wants to do practical things?

This is obviously not what Zhang Lingyang wants to see, nor is it what Zhang Lingyang admires.

Even sometimes even the imperial technique that many people worship, Zhang Lingyang is disdainful.

In Zhang Lingyang's view, the so-called emperor's technique is nothing more than the word 'balance', once the emperor has a balance, there will be party disputes between the DPRK and China, so Zhang Lingyang will not engage in the so-called balance.

Time is only a few breaths, Zhang Lingyang has thought about it so much.

At this time, Empress Wang broke the calm and said: "Emperor, it's not early, I'm afraid that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will start sooner, let's go early!" ”

"Then let's go!" Zhang Lingyang nodded and walked out of the gate of Chen'an Palace.

Tonight is the first Chinese New Year's Eve that Zhang Lingyang and his concubines spent in Luoyang.

But at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the concubines with children all looked different, even if the wonderful songs and dances were being staged in the hall, they had no intention of appreciating it.

Because they are all worried about one thing, that is, which prince will be canonized by the emperor as the next monarch of Myanmar?

In the eyes of the concubines, going to the barbaric and hot Myanmar is no different from distribution. But on the other hand, the ancestral training of the harem who is not allowed to interfere in politics suppresses them, making them speechless, so they all seem very aggrieved.

When Zhang Lingyang saw it, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the singing and dancing, so he went back to the palace with Queen Wang early to rest......

In the blink of an eye, the first court meeting in the ninth year of Tai'an began.

After all, it was the first big court meeting of the new year, and Li Guangtai's stinky temper was not there, so there was nothing bad for the minister to play.

Today, Zhang Lingyang only announced two things, and he went down early.

The first thing was to canonize the second prince Zhao Han as the monarch of Borneo and the third prince Zhao Xu as the next monarch of Burma.

The second thing is to order the Ministry of Officials to draft the vassals of the two princes as soon as possible, so that they can be transferred to Borneo and Burma to assist the two princes in handling state affairs.

This time, it can be said that countless people's mouths were shocked, and the most surprising of them was Cao Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

You must know that the third prince Zhao Xu is Cao Rui's grandson, and Cao Rui originally hoped that the third prince Zhao Xu would become an adult, with his full support, so that he could ascend to the crown prince's throne?

Now that he was assigned to Myanmar, Cao Rui couldn't accept it.

By the time Cao Rui reacted and wanted to persuade Zhang Lingyang to take back his fate, Zhang Lingyang had already disappeared.

After coming back to his senses, Cao Rui wanted to go to Chen'an Hall to meet Zhang Lingyang, but before he stepped into the gate of Chen'an Palace, he was blocked by Xiao Fuzi: "Cao Shangshu, Long Live Lord is a little sleepy and resting." If Cao Shangshu has anything, let's talk about it in a few days! ”

Helpless, Cao Rui had to leave the palace.

However, Cao Rui did not go home directly, nor did he go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, but directly found Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Seeing Zheng Yongji, Cao Rui asked, "Ge Lao, why did you say that Your Majesty suddenly came like this?" Didn't you say a few years ago that you would canonize the second prince as the king of Burma? Why did His Majesty change the King of Burma to the Third Prince before the New Year had passed? ”

"That's Your Majesty's distress for the Third Prince!" Zheng Yongji smiled slightly and said.

"Distressed? But Myanmar is hot and humid all year round, and it is a wild place, if His Majesty really feels sorry for the three princes, how can he canonize him as the king of Burma? ”

"You don't know about that!" Zheng Yongji explained with a smile, "The details of Myanmar must be mostly your own hearsay, have you really understood the real situation in Myanmar?" ”

"Is there any difference from what is rumored outside?" Cao Rui asked in surprise.

"Naturally!" Zheng Yongji said, "Although Myanmar is hot and humid, but his benefits are only afraid that Cao Shangshu has not thought about it." When His Majesty ordered the transfer of troops from Yunnan and Guizhou to Burma before, the old man had done some homework, guess what? ”

"As a result, the old man found that the rice in Myanmar is harvested three times a year."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, Cao Shangshu can send someone to inquire, it just so happens that Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, is now in Burma."

"Besides!" Zheng Yongji suddenly said to Cao Rui in a mysterious voice: "The old man also heard that Myanmar is rich in jade, and the quality is even better than Hetian jade......
