Chapter 532: What I'm most afraid of is what if
This passage has been fulfilled, and the kings of Anzhi behind him will not be the lord of the public generation in the future! He Deqing's words were also fulfilled, precisely because Li Shimin listened to Wang Qi Wei Zheng's words in the original history, so that the status of ministers and princes above the third grade became equal, and he did not salute when he saw the prince, so that Li Zhi did not have much prestige in front of the ministers after becoming the emperor.
Especially in front of his uncle eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji relied on his support to almost control the government and cover the sky in the middle of the court.
Therefore, Wei Zheng said that since the Zhou Dynasty, they have been inherited from generation to generation, and no brothers will be enthroned, this is to prevent concubines from coveting the throne, plugging the root cause of the trouble, pure nonsense, and the world is impermanent, who knows what will happen later.
Let's take another example of the Ming Dynasty, the change of Tumubao, Ming Yingzong was taken away by the tile spurs, and the crown prince at that time, Zhu Jianshen, who was later Ming Xianzong, was just two years old and was still a nursing baby.
The emperor was captured by the enemy, the prince is a little milk baby, the country cannot be without a king for a day when the country is in trouble, and the little milk baby must not be able to be the emperor, so Yu Qian and others persuaded the queen mother to set up Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu as the emperor.
This is the special treatment in special times, and nothing is absolute. You can't use a sentence of inheritance from children and grandchildren, and erase these possibilities without a brother taking the throne.
The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was the emperor who succeeded his brother Zhu Youxiao, that is, the carpenter emperor's class, no way, his brother gave birth to three sons and all died, he was not the emperor, no one would be the emperor, and he couldn't let the clan be the emperor.
Of course, it is not for nothing that the Ming Dynasty made the clan emperor, Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, the most bizarre and unique emperor in history, has no descendants, not early death, but not at all. In the end, after he hung up, the courtiers could only choose one of the clans to be the emperor.
The one who succeeded him was not his brother, because his father had two sons, and the other was dead, so Zhu Houzhao was the only seedling, and he had not left an heir, and in the end, the throne was cheaper than his cousin.
Therefore, everything is possible in the impermanence of the world, what descendants inherit from generation to generation, and it is nonsense not to set up brothers, who knows when there will be special circumstances.
Wu Yuanqing, who is familiar with the history of later generations, has really seen a lot of this happening, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the previous Song Dynasty, Song Renzong's three sons died early, and finally his nephew Zhao Shu became the emperor.
Then after arriving in Song Zhezong, the emperor was his son who died early, and he had to give the throne to his younger brother Zhao Ji to inherit, which was the last brother and the last brother.
All this made Wu Yuanqing sneer at Wei Zheng's descendants and grandchildren, and not to establish brothers.
When there is really no way, let alone the inheritance of children and grandchildren, if you don't set up a brother to prevent the concubine from coveting the throne, you have to stand as a cousin of the special clan.
So he put down the half-gnawed chicken leg, Wu Yuanqing stood up, walked around to the center in three steps and two steps, and said after bowing: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with the words of the two adults."
"Oh, is it? What do you think the two of you said is wrong?" Seeing Wu Yuanqing standing up and standing on his side against Wang Qi and Wei Zheng, Li Shimin was very happy and asked with a smile.
"It's not that there's anything wrong, it's that it's not right." Wu Yuanqing glanced at Wang Qi and Wei Zheng, who had black faces, and then said with a smile.
"Yuanqing you?" Wang Jue was angry at first, Wu Yuanqing was his junior, his niece and son-in-law, and he actually came out against him, because he had always helped Wu Yuanqing speak.
But Wang Jue forgot, when it comes to closeness, Li Shimin is still Wu Yuanqing's father-in-law.
"I don't know what Wugong Hou thinks the old man's words are wrong?" Wei Zheng was not angry, but asked with a look of curiosity.
"Yes, Wu Yuanqing, tell Wei Qing's family and Wang Qing's family, what are they doing wrong?" Li Shimin was happy to see his son-in-law help him charge, so he asked with a cooperative face.
"The minister will tell me his shallow opinion, if there is something wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me, two adults." Wu Yuanqing first said modestly, and then began his own statement: "Wang Shangshu said that the three products have been on the road to meet the prince and surrender, which is indecent, and Lord Wei also said that the kings are the third princes, and now the three products are all nine Qing and eight, and it is not appropriate for the king to descend." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But the rites that the two adults said are ancient rites, and it is not appropriate to use them now, now the prince is ranked first, and Jiuqing is only a third-grade, how can it be juxtaposed with the prince."
Speaking of this, seeing Wang Jue's angry face and opening his mouth to speak, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly continued: "Of course, Prime Minister, it is indeed not appropriate for Jiuqing to get off when he meets the prince, the minister thinks it is better to take a step back, Prime Minister Jiuqing does not need to get out of the car when he meets the prince, but he needs to avoid it, so that the adults above the third grade have face, and the prince has the respect he deserves."
"What is the difference between this and surrendering to the king?" Wang Jue finally had a chance to speak, and he rushed very quickly.
But Li Shimin glanced at him lightly, glanced at Wei Zheng again, and said, "I think what Wu Yuanqing said is very reasonable, so let's do it in the future."
Wu Yuanqing smiled and patted his ass: "Your Majesty Shengming. But the minister's words are not finished yet."
"Oh, then you go on." Li Shimin nodded approvingly and let Wu Yuanqing continue to speak.
"Your Majesty just said that life is difficult to live, in case the prince is unlucky, the kings of Anzhi will not be the lord of the public generation in the future! What a light! Lord Wei replied that since the Zhou Dynasty, all descendants have succeeded each other, and they do not set up brothers, so they will not be the source of the evil and the source of the trouble, which is deeply precepted by the country! The minister agrees with His Majesty's words, and naturally he disagrees with what Lord Wei said." This is the main topic that Wu Yuanqing wants to say, so Wu Yuanqing's expression is much more solemn.
"Where did the old man say wrong, the old man is not virtuous, and the son is noble but not long, isn't it right?" Wei Zheng asked in a deep voice.
If it is said that the previous thing about not getting off the bus is only the demand for treatment, and it is only about officials above the third grade, then the establishment of the heir is the inheritance of the order of the whole society, from the change of the throne to the inheritance of each family and the family business. If Wu Yuanqing dares to say that this is not right, then what he has to challenge is the system that has existed for thousands of years, and the bottom line of everyone in the world is challenged.
But Wu Yuanqing is not stupid, he didn't say that he didn't agree, but said that he didn't agree with it. After seeing that both the emperor and the ministers in the hall had wrong faces, Wu Yuanqing smiled and said: "It is not wrong to establish a son with a long and not a virtuous, and a son to be noble and not long, but just like His Majesty just said, if the prince is unlucky, the kings of Anzhi will not be the lord of the country in the future. Of course, you may think that there is not only one son-in-law, there are other sons-in-law who can be passed on. That's right, it's true now, Your Majesty has three sons-in-law, and all three can't all have problems, right, but who dares to guarantee it? What if, the most feared thing in this world is not to be afraid of 10,000."
