"Leave them all!" This is really an earth-shattering sentence, just now these people's recommendations, some of them are really related, some are just nonsense, some of them are even just blocking the king of Runan County, no one thought that Renzong didn't say anything, he just agreed, all stayed, and all agreed.

The ministers still can't figure out what happened, could it be that Renzong has lost his mind and gone crazy? Isn't it creating contradictions to keep all the people who were elected?

"No, it's not in order!" It was Zhao Yunrang who spoke, he couldn't help it anymore, he didn't realize at all that this matter was aimed at him, and his intuition told him that this matter was not right, and if he was not careful, maybe his son would lose his only inheritance, which was the starting point he had always had, and he would not allow it.

"What's not in order?" Renzong's words suddenly increased, and he looked directly at Zhao Yunrang, and the awe-inspiring look in his eyes made Zhao Yunrang a little frightened.

Zhao Yunrang wanted to say that it was the ancestor who made the law, but in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there has not been a succession, although it is said that Taizong succeeded to the throne, it was a brother who died and a brother, but he was also a brother, that is, he experienced it when he was young, when Zhenzong included him in the palace, but, with the birth of Renzong, everything was like a mirror.

This is also his eternal resentment, which is also the fundamental reason for the crazy abuse of power in this life, he became the king of Runan County, which is very powerful, and his son Zhao Zongshi has also become the heir, but the throne is still five features for them.

All of this has become so powerless in front of Zhao Xin, everything he has encountered, his son has to encounter it again, which is what he does not want to see, which is also the fundamental reason for taking risks.

Now, I don't know what the fortune is, even if Zhao Xin is not dead, he will become dead, Zhao Zongshi has a great chance to become the heir to the throne, even if he comes out in person, he must seize this opportunity.

Looking at the-for-tat confrontation between Renzong and the king of Runan, all those in the know were silent, they felt that it was very strange, that is, why Zhao Xin faked his death, why Renzong and the king of Runan County would reach an agreement, it turned out that the king of Runan was seeking the position of the heir, and Renzong was waiting here, so exquisitely arranged, so terrible two people.

The king of Runan finally held back two words with some hesitation: "Identity!" ”

"Identity?" Renzong suddenly laughed and said: "Are they all different identities, so do you want to invite all the clan relatives to come over and evaluate and evaluate, what is the difference between their identity and your identity!" ”

Clan relatives? The face of the king of Runan changed greatly, and he suddenly understood Renzong's intentions, his Zongzheng was standing on the natural opposite side of the emperor, because the emperor definitely wanted to reduce the investment of the clan and compress the rights of the clan, and there must be a Zongzheng to compete with him, and the support of the clansmen was the source of his strength.

Now, he found that his power seemed to be gone, and now that he was leading his clan relatives to compete with the emperor, he naturally gained the support of his clan relatives, even if his son became the heir, the clan relatives would support him, because they were closer to him.

When Renzong put forward this opinion, what it represents, all the suitable ones, those who are elected, have the right, no matter how good the relationship is, others are emperors, it is not as good as their own sons to be emperors, the previously strong alliance will be wiped out in an instant, and people are selfish.

The king of Runan County's face was so pale that he couldn't even say a word.

The other Zaifu who watched the excitement, the smarter ones, had already understood, but they didn't interject a word, it was not a question of whether they dared or not, it was a question of whether it was necessary, the inheritance issue was the foundation of the country, if it was brought up for them to see, they might say it, now it is just a matter of qualifications, how can they get involved easily.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, after taking everyone's eyes into it, Renzong said calmly: "Because of the poor relationship between the heirs, the issue of the national capital, after several twists and turns, a lot of things have happened, I have decided that among the close branches of the clan, according to the recommendation, 8 to 10 outstanding disciples of the sect will be selected on the basis of recommendations, under the age of 10, and it will take 5 years to cultivate, and then 5 years to investigate, and choose the best heirs!" ”

At one point, the king of Runan County was completely lost, he didn't expect that he thought that Renzong would announce Zhao Xin's death like crazy, and exchanged it with him, and finally got this result, 8-10 people, what does it mean, it means that the chance of his son inheriting is only one in eight, or one in ten.

Zhao Yunrang would not have the luxury of expecting that Renzong would get all the places to his house, and the choice he put forward before was not a close relative of the royal family.

He is not the only one in the near branch, and the Renzong Dynasty is more special, Renzong has no brothers, and Zhenzong only has such a son as him, that is to say, except for the prince who was sealed early, the vast majority of others are county kings, especially when the king of Chu is gone, and now they are all county kings.

Zhenzong has only one son, so what about Taizong, Zhao Yunrang is the son of Taizong's fourth son, but Zhao Yunrang himself has two brothers, and Zhenzong has 9 brothers.

In such a situation, how could there be a chance for him.

In fact, not only the king of Runan County is thinking, but others are also thinking, but no, let alone the Song Dynasty, even if it is other dynasties, there is no precedent, but there is no way to refute it.

They are all close branches, it is difficult to do it, they are also the great-grandsons of Taizong, who is closer than whom.

Because Zhenzong only has one child of Renzong, the descendant is Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is dead, and he doesn't even have a cousin in the close branch, only the same great-grandfather's. A great-grandfather, who is more golden than whom, don't say that the king of Runan County was once raised by Zhenzong, this can't be said, and it can't be put out as an example.

Zhao Yunrang's mood was broken, he thought that his strong strength had been wiped out under Renzong's words, the most powerful Zongzheng and the power of the clan, when the 8 powerful clansmen fought for their sons, the clan was scattered.

At the same time, because after Zhao Xin's death, the group of people gathered around him was huge, and these middle and low-level officials were all over the court, which was originally his huge support force, and it would also be wiped out with Renzong's announcement.

Now the heir is not him alone, but 8 people, if you want to persuade them to give up, it will definitely not be, 8 clans, and they are all close branches, they must be more powerful to join, they originally had no chance, but now they have a chance, why don't you go all out.

An astonishing thought arose in Zhao Yunrang's heart, could it be that from the beginning, Renzong did it on purpose.

Whether it is Zhao Xin or Zhao Zongshi, it is beyond Renzong's control, Renzong does not have enough heirs, it is impossible to find a balance among the heirs, and it was decided that Zhao Zongshi was one before, but now, I don't know how he figured it out and proposed such a plan.

It seems that there is no problem, choose the best, the emperor can also choose the best, this is a groundbreaking event, I didn't have this ability before, after all, the eldest and youngest, these differences, directly put the choice in a very narrow way.

Now, Renzong let Zhao Xin, the prince in the right row, quit and become a marquis, but liberated the position of the throne, from the clan, selected 8 to 10, so that the range of choices itself is quite broad, after systematic education, I believe that there is a throne as an incentive, even if they don't want to learn, their families will force them, so that they can really choose the right one.

As far as the ministers are concerned, there are all kinds of ideas in their hearts, they don't know whether this matter is good or bad, and they don't choose the prince now, but just provide a way to choose the prince, as long as there is no problem in the identity, no one can say anything.

They are all the descendants of Taizong, who is much closer than whom, the meat is rotten into a pot, anyway, it is all the matter of the old Zhao family, and they are involved in it, but it has a bad impact.

Some smart people, even looking at the king of Runan County like a good show, the agency is too smart, the small actions of the king of Runan County, many big families are well aware, but it did not affect him, the Baozhou mutiny is involved with him, it is really a bit earth-shattering, but what is the use, Renzong's move is really a chess master.

Some of the more positive ones, didn't think so much, for example, Fan Zhongyan, first agreed, a wise emperor, for the Northern Song Dynasty, that is very crucial, a reasonable system to be continued, without a qualified successor, that is not good.

Many times the government is caused by the change of the imperial order, for example, Taizu, Taizong, and for example, the Shenzong that does not appear now, Wang Anshi's change, has a certain positive significance, if the Shenzong has been promoted, it may not necessarily make the shortcomings of the Northern Song Dynasty go away, but to a certain extent, it will not become what it will be.

But Shenzong died, Empress Dowager Gao adopted a total negation of Wang Anshi, plus Sima Guang, and finally the biggest break began, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, entered the era of party strife, upright, and ethical, and could not grow up in this political environment at all, but these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods were a little more, which directly affected the situation later.

In this sense, this system has a positive significance, but it is useless, the emperor in the future, will he be like Renzong, he can't survive a few births, even if there are a few, it is impossible to choose like this, they are all sons, is it true that regardless of feelings, directly rely on ability?

Not everyone has such a clear and clear opinion, and in the end, it is just a special case.
