Chapter 983: Mind Shifted
"Your Majesty, the minister had selfish intentions at that time." Regarding Chongzhen's questioning, Qian Qianyi had already thought of his rhetoric.
"The king of Qi had already made it clear that the chariots and horses were against the gentry of the world, so the minister chose to support His Majesty to continue to be in power. However, the minister misjudged the situation and misjudged the strength of King Qi, so that there is now a disaster. If he could come again, the minister would have chosen to persuade His Majesty not to come hard. It's all the minister's fault! ”
Saying that, Qian Qianyi knelt down and pleaded guilty to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen had a serious illness, and his energy was not good, and he had just been stimulated in the main hall, and he barely came back to his senses through ginseng soup, and now he was made straight by Qian Qianyi's set of rhetoric, and he wanted to reprimand Qian Qianyi and even punish him, but he didn't know how to say it.
"What the hell do you mean? Let's just say it, I don't want to go around in circles with you anymore! With a cold snort, Chongzhen reprimanded directly.
"Your Majesty, the minister's meaning has already been said, that is, to summon the king of Qi back to Beijing. The minister knew that His Majesty was worried that King Qi's return to Beijing would be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. As long as His Majesty can compromise a little, there will be a situation in which everyone will be happy. Qian Qianyi said.
Chongzhen said coldly: "How can I compromise? You put it clearly. ”
Qian Qianyi said: "It's very simple, as long as Your Majesty establishes the position of Princess Kunxing and marries King Qi and the princess, all crises will be solved!" ”
"The princess is the prince? It's ridiculous! Chongzhen said angrily.
Qian Qianyi sighed: "It's ridiculous. But Your Majesty, when you were seriously ill and unconscious, the princess had been put in the position of prison and recognized by the court and even the people of the world.
Compared with the turmoil in the world and the change of hands, it is the most appropriate way for the princess to be the prince.
King Qi has made immortal achievements, and has turned the tide several times, without King Qi, there would be no current Ming Dynasty. And with the rise of status, King Qi will naturally have other ideas, so except for the princess, I am afraid that King Qi will not recognize anyone as a prince again.
It seems ridiculous that a woman is a prince or even an emperor, but the country has not changed. After all, Princess, she is Your Majesty's flesh and blood. ”
Chongzhen said angrily: "The princess is my flesh and blood, but the country is not given to outsiders in the end." The inheritance of our ancestors is in my hands, how do you let me meet the emperors in the future? ”
Qian Qianyi sighed: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is easy to solve, as long as you agree with King Qi, his first son is surnamed Zhu, and in the future, the princess will pass on the country to her and the son of King Qi, so the country is naturally still in the hands of the Zhu family."
Your Majesty, you have no children at the moment, even if the country is not passed on to the princess, you must pass on the heir to the clan. That being the case, Princess Ling and King Qi's son are surnamed Zhu. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to pass it on to your grandson than to pass it on to outsiders? ”
Qian Qianyi's words were like morning bells and dusk drums, beating on Chongzhen's heart. Chongzhen's heart beat violently.
Yes, ordinary people who have no children can still recruit sons-in-law and have children, why can't I? Kun Xing and Chen Yue gave birth to a son surnamed Zhu after marriage, isn't the country still in the hands of the Zhu family, and the Ming Dynasty will still be the Ming Dynasty!
And it is naturally better to pass on the country to the grandson than to the outsider!
As for Chen Yue, anyway, the country will be handed over to his son, and he will naturally not rebel against the world. Such a crisis can be easily solved!
Wonderful, what a brilliant idea, why didn't I think of it before?
looked at the joy that suddenly flashed on Chongzhen's face. Qian Qianyi knew that after some words from himself, Chongzhen was finally moved, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, only to feel that the clothes on his back were soaked.
It seems that Chongzhen was easily convinced, but in fact it was not so easy.
Chongzhen is so smart, how could he not have thought of this idea earlier?
It's not that I can't think of it, but Chongzhen himself doesn't want to. There is a deep-rooted understanding in Chongzhen's heart, that is, a woman cannot be an emperor at all, which is not only Chongzhen's understanding, but also the understanding of most people in the world. And Chongzhen has a strong desire for power, and he is unwilling to hand over power easily, even if it is to his daughter. He also thinks that he can control everything and can deal with Chen Yue, so he has the current situation.
And now, the situation is so crisis, Chongzhen finally despairs. After despair, it is natural to think of a way out.
If it goes down again, maybe it will really force Chen Yue to rebel, then Daming Sheji will be completely finished, and then he will really become a sinner of Daming!
Therefore, in this case, there is only compromise, even if you are unwilling, you have to compromise!
Compromise is humiliating, but it is better than losing the country passed down from our ancestors.
Therefore, Qian Qianyi's proposal is just a donkey borrowed from the slope for Chongzhen.
"Qian Aiqing's proposal is very good. It can be discussed by the imperial court! Finally, Chongzhen said slowly.
......
Princess Kunxing sat quietly in front of the desk, holding a book and looking at it, as demure as a painting.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" With a shout, the silence in the palace was broken.
"Meet my father!" Princess Kunxing stood up and saluted Chongzhen with all her manners. This is the first time in several months that Chongzhen has come to Kunxing's palace.
Looking at his daughter's slightly rusty expression, Chongzhen sighed deeply, for the sake of power, he really lost too much, but fortunately he could make up for it.
"What kind of book are you reading?" Chongzhen asked his daughter to pick up and asked softly.
Princess Kunxing pursed her lips: "It's just an idle book." As he spoke, he handed the book to Chongzhen, but it was a book called "XX Good Son-in-law".
"It's really an idle book." Chongzhen took it casually and flipped through it and put it on the case, "It's okay to use such a book as a pastime, but it's useless to read more." Daughter, my father is old and sick, you will have to help your father in the future, don't read these idle books, and help your father to read more in the future. ”
"Huh?" Kun Xing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what Chongzhen meant for a while.
"My father has decided to make you the crown princess. A hundred years after your father, you will be the next Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, Chongzhen told Kunxing his decision.
"Ahh Kun Xing was really shocked, "Father! ”
Looking at her daughter's emaciated face, which is her closest flesh and blood now, thinking of the deceased queen and the three princes, thinking of her consistent well-behaved and sensible, and thinking of her difficulty supporting the entire Ming Dynasty when she was critically ill, Chongzhen's heart softened.
"My father is old, sometimes I am a little confused, and I have wronged you these days." Chongzhen said softly.
"Father!" Tears burst out of Kunxing's eyes, and she hugged Chongzhen and cried. The tears couldn't stop flowing, and the grievances of months were completely released at this moment.
Chongzhen stroked his daughter's hair, just like a kind father, at this moment in his heart, there was no country, no emperor and hegemony, and some were just licking the calves.
ps: I always feel a little stiff, maybe it's because I stayed up all night and was not in good shape. Today's two watches are the earliest.
