In recent days, Chongzhen's hair is almost gray for the first prince to go overseas to eat crabs, the feudal overseas policy has just been proposed at the court meeting, and hundreds of officials have praised and expressed 10,000 approvals, and then the court began to screen the first prince to seal out, and after a notice, no prince dared to stand up and be the first person to eat crabs, which can make Chongzhen worried, if no one goes, then my policy is still implemented a fart? I thought that the courtiers would stop it, but I didn't expect the hundred officials to form a consensus on this issue, it seems that most of the officials are not very kind to the descendants of the Zhu family sucking blood in the land of the Ming Dynasty!

"Cao Huachun! You talk about it, you talk about it! It's been a month since this was posted, and no prince has replied! Could it be that I have to choose one of them? If the prince who was elected like that had a grudge in his heart, it would be useless to go out! Chongzhen sighed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty! The national rule that the vassal king is not in charge of the army has always existed, and no prince dares to touch it, and now that the court suddenly said that this article has been relaxed, the princes must not have adapted to it! I believe they can understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts! Cao Huachun said with a smile.

"Not adapting?! I thought one by one I was trying to see, right? Or are you worried that you really came to Jingshi's will, saying that he deliberately rebelled? That's it! Chongzhen said, then sighed and said: "You say, if the imperial court forcibly elects a prince, which one is suitable?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty! Now there are twenty-five princes to choose from, namely Zhu Yiluo, King of Qin, King Jin has just passed away, and now there are Zhu Xianxuan, the son of King Jin, Zhu Gongfang, King of Chu, Zhu Huakui, King of Lu, Zhu Shouyong, King of Shu, Zhu Fengquan, Zhu Chuanhuoqi, Zhu Zhihong, King of Qing, Zhu Qihong, Zhu Qi, King of Han, Zhu Xiaoyong, King of Shen, King Zhu Xiaoyong, King Tang has just passed away, and now it is Zhu Yujian, King of Zhao, Zhu Yiming, King of Xiang, Zhu Cihuoqi, King of Huai, Zhu Changshu, King of De, Zhu Youshu, King Chong, Jiwang Zhu Ciyan, Yiwang Zhu Youmu, Hengwang Zhu Youdi, Rongwang Zhu Youfang, Luwang Zhu Changshu, Ruiwang Zhu Changhao, Huiwang Zhu Changrun! ”

"That's it! Come on! Tell me which one has the better ability! Chongzhen stroked his forehead and said.

"Your Majesty! The princes are all dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, so they must all be good! Cao Huachun said with a smile.

After hearing this, Chongzhen suddenly had the urge to call the warriors outside to come in and pull Cao Huachun out and cut him, looking at Chongzhen's slightly gloomy face, Cao Huachun was suddenly a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "But if you talk about talent comparison, the old slave thinks that Zhu Yujian, the son of the Tang Dynasty, is more outstanding!" Most of the rest of the princes are very old, and it is not convenient for them to go overseas! ”

"Zhu Yujian?!" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then began to think about it, he seemed to have some impressions of this name, as if it was the Longwu Emperor that later generations said.

"Tell me, why is this son more capable?" Chongzhen asked.

This has to start with the old Tang King Zhu Shuoxi, the old Tang King Zhu Shuoxi was bewitched by the concubine, and he has always cherished the son of the concubine in his heart, and he hated Zhu Yujian's father, who was the son of the Tang Dynasty at that time. So, he secretly imprisoned Zhu Yujian's father and son in the Chengfeng Division, and wanted to starve them to death, when Zhu Yujian was only twelve years old. Fortunately, there was a petty official Zhang Shutang who helped deliver some brown rice, and in the prison cell, Zhu Yujian's father and son survived for 16 years. However, although he was in a cage, Zhu Yujian did not waste time, but immersed himself in hard reading and studying Confucian classics, which can be seen in his diligence and perseverance. Later, Zhu Yujian's father was dying, and when he was about to get out of the end, he was poisoned by his younger brother Yu Chongzhen, who was eager to attack the throne of the Tang Dynasty. The old Tang King was ready to crown the son of his concubine as the son, and he also wanted to cancel Zhu Yujian's status as the son. As a result, when the local official Chen Qiyu mourned the Tang prince, he warned the old Tang king that the cause of the prince's death was unknown, and he rashly changed the hereditary candidate, maybe the court would blame him in the future. The old Tang king was afraid of the Japanese and French investigations, so he hurriedly appointed Zhu Yujian as his grandson, and then the old Tang king also died in the same year. Cao Huachun said.

"Chen Qiyu?! It seems that Zhu Yujian has to thank him! Chongzhen smiled, and then asked, "What is this Chen Qiyu's ability?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this Chen Qiyu, the word Yuxuan, is from Baodezhou. Wanli forty-four years of Jinshi. He was appointed as the magistrate of Luoyang County. In the second year of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to Like to the middle of the matter. When Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian, this Chen Qiyu also wrote a book to fiercely criticize Zhongxian. In the spring of the sixth year, he was appointed as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Province in the middle of the matter from the left of the household department, and was promoted to the right to participate in politics, responsible for guarding Nanyang, and then promoted to the envoy in the first year of Chongzhen! After that, he successively served as the political envoy of the left and right sides of Shaanxi. This Chen Qiyu, this person is mainly in the current Luoyang County "quite benevolent", blessed the people, praised by the local people! Cao Huachun said.

Chongzhen nodded after listening: "So it seems that this son is a good choice!" Chongzhen pondered for a while and then said, "Go and summon a few pavilion elders!" I'll tell you about it! ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun bowed and said, and then said, "Your Majesty! This is Governor Wang's new recital, please take a look! As he spoke, he presented the note.

"I see! There you go! Chongzhen waved his hand.

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun bowed, and then went on an errand!

Chongzhen opened the song, looked at it, and then grinned: "These Spaniards, do you think that if you give me the land of the Americas, I won't be able to go to Daming?" Then he put down his recital and waited for the cabinet ministers.

"Wechen see Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray!" Soon, everyone came to the Qianqing Palace under the leadership of Cao Huachun.

"It's all out of courtesy! Sit it all! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed.

Then Chongzhen said the results of the discussion with Cao Huachun just now, and after everyone listened to it, they discussed it, and then Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty! The minister thinks that he can, there must be the first person to try, after all, this matter is related to the national fortune of my Ming Dynasty, but before that, the court should first let the prince inherit the throne, in addition to inheriting the current fief, and then give him the overseas fief at the same time, but he must go overseas to do so! ”

"The fiefdom of the sea is still preserved?" Chongzhen was stunned.

"Your Majesty! You can keep it for the time being, or Weichen is worried that the new prince will resist, so the effect will not be ideal! After he succeeds and achieves some results, the court can exchange another piece of land for this land in the sea! Saying that, Sun Chengzong's eyes glanced at the book on Chongzhen's imperial table.

Looking at Sun Chengzong's eyes, Chongzhen suddenly understood, and then smiled: "The advice of several Aiqing is very good!" That's it! The decree was to let the son Zhu Yujian succeed to the throne of the Tang Dynasty, and gave him the Emperor Ming Zuxun, the Ming Huidian, the Five Classics and Four Books, the Twenty-one History, the Tongjian Compendium, and the Loyalty and Filial Piety Sutra. In addition, after taking office, let him come to Beijing to face the saint. ”

"The old slave commands!" Cao Huachun bowed.
