Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Yuanqing's words were not finished, and then said: "Besides, even if the crown prince's generation will not have problems, but who dares to guarantee that every emperor in the future can have many descendants like His Majesty., in case there is just such an emperor, he has only one concubine, and this concubine just happened to have an accident, so should this throne be inherited by the concubine?" I think this is inevitable, if it is not inherited by the concubine, can it still be inherited by the clan? If this is the case, does it mean that the ancient adage of establishing a descendant is not so infallible. Also, if the emperor is unfortunate and the emperor has no descendants, should the throne be inherited by brothers? If you don't let your brother inherit it, can you still give it to the clan? I guess that's impossible. Does that mean that what Lord Wei said about not establishing brothers is also not so inabsolutely correct?"

Li Shimin dared to assume that if the prince was unlucky, he would not be the lord of the public in the future, Wu Yuanqing naturally had the courage to follow the emperor's words and continue to assume, and Wu Yuanqing was not worried that Li Shimin would be angry because of this, because people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, he is thinking about the royal family, what he said is right, Li Shimin has no reason to be angry.

"Therefore, the ministers think that the princes should be respected must have, otherwise if the princes and the ministers are of equal status, then in case there is an emergency, the princes need someone to inherit the throne, the ministers will definitely not have too much awe of the new monarch, and then in case, if the new monarch is young, then there may be a situation where the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the minister feels that instead of hoping for the loyalty of the courtiers, it is better to let the courtiers respect the princes a little more on weekdays."

"What do you think?" Seeing that Wu Yuanqing finished speaking, Li Shimin asked after glancing around.

I thought it was a fart.

None of the ministers in the group below spoke, but they scolded Wu Yuanqing in their hearts for not being a thing. Wu Yuanqing's previous words can be refuted, but the latter sentence is not to hope for the loyalty of the courtiers, it is better to let the courtiers respect the princes a little more on weekdays, this sentence almost directly singled out that the courtiers are unreliable, maybe they can produce one or two Yi Yin Huoguang, which makes them how to refute. Once the refutation is not good, the emperor will suspect it, who dares?

At this point, Wang Jue proposed that the ministers assisted by Wei Zheng directly ended the dispute over the prince's etiquette, and soon the banquet resumed its essence of eating and drinking.

After the banquet was over, Wu Yuanqing was called to the back bedroom by Li Shimin.

"You and Cheng Qian have always been good, Wei Zheng said that children and grandchildren will succeed each other, and if they don't set up brothers, there will only be benefits to Cheng Qian, no harm, why do you want to object?" Li Shimin looked at Wu Yuanqing with a tangled look in his eyes, sometimes this son-in-law can make you want to die, sometimes he does things very intimately, and sometimes he does things that make people feel very inexplicable.

Just like the previous opposition to Wei Zheng made Li Shimin feel inexplicable, because Wei Zheng said that once he agreed, it would be tantamount to making his son Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince more stable, and it stands to reason that Wu Yuanqing, who has the best relationship with Li Chengqian, should strongly support it, but this guy is against it, and the reasons for the opposition are still very sufficient, to say that this guy and the prince fell out, but it is impossible, not to mention that he did not receive such news, just say that every time a letter is delivered from the Wu family, Among them, there will always be a letter written by the prince to Wu Yuanqing, and you know that the relationship between the two is as good as ever.

I don't understand.

If you don't understand, you have to ask, Li Shimin is still very curious.

"Your Majesty, the minister's idea has just been said, the minister is not opposed to establishing a concubine, but there must be a premise that there is a concubine who can be established, and if there is no concubine, you can only establish a concubine, if you don't even have a concubine, you can only establish a brother. And even if there is a son-in-law, who knows the quality of the son-in-law, do you know that the son-in-law is not a weapon and want to set him up, isn't that a joke with the country? Of course, this will make other ministers hear that they will definitely have courtiers to assist, and there will be no problem for the emperor to become a ruler. But who can guarantee that a courtier must be a good courtier, throughout history, there are more unsuccessful emperors, and there are more bad courtiers. Maybe Lord Wang and Lord Wei are out of public heart, but it doesn't mean that other ministers will also be out of public heart, and future ministers will be out of public heart. To say something taboo, this world belongs to His Majesty, and it belongs to the royal Li family, but it will not be a courtier. A courtier can still be a courtier if the emperor changes to another family, but it is impossible for the royal family." Wu Yuanqing is really bold, he can say whatever he wants, and Li Shimin's face turned black into the bottom of the pot.

Especially that sentence, the world is not a courtier, and a courtier can still be a courtier if he changes an emperor, which is naked and direct.

The key thing is that this is right, there are not a few such people in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention those courtiers who followed Li Shimin to fight the world, just to say that the courtiers who came from the Sui Dynasty anyway, Yu Shinan, Pei Ju, Du Yan, which of these dead ministers did not receive the emperor's grace as a big official in the Sui Dynasty.

It can be said that after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, more than half of the officials, especially the civil officials, were all former Sui officials. They served the Sui Dynasty one moment before and became the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty the next moment, and the high-ranking officials were as good as ever, and even exceeded.

As for the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, the Yang family, the direct line was basically wiped out.

"Don't you say these things are not afraid of my punishment? You must know that you are also a courtier." Li Shimin squinted his eyes and asked.

"Hehe, don't be afraid." Wu Yuanqing smiled faintly and shook his head: "The minister is not afraid, because the minister is a noble, a noble who rests with the country. Datang can have the current life of the minister, and if the Tang Dynasty is gone, a person like the minister will not have the opportunity to have such a good life as he is now. The minister has no other pursuit, just thinking that Datang can be strong forever, so that the minister and his descendants can live in Datang in peace. So he knew that it would be good for the prince, but the minister still objected. Because the minister thinks that the most important thing is to let the country continue to prosper, what is the heir, what is not so important. Even if the crown prince is Cheng Qian, if Cheng Qian is a good prince, does he need so many prerequisites to help him stabilize the position of the crown prince? The minister thinks that it is not necessary. And if Cheng Qian is not a good prince, then even if there are so many conditions, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I believe that His Majesty will definitely bypass or break those restrictions and choose another person who can be the emperor. And the minister thinks that if he can't succeed, it will be really good for him not to let him be the emperor, otherwise he will not only mistake the Tang Dynasty but also himself, just like Yang Guang."

After Li Shimin listened, he looked at Wu Yuanqing fixedly, and only then did he smile and wave his hand to let Wu Yuanqing leave.

As soon as Wu Yuanqing left, the eldest grandson turned out from behind the screen.

"What do you think of Guanyin?" Li Shimin asked.

"The concubine thinks that what she says is very real, and only her own family will say the truth." Empress Eldest Sun smiled.

"Huh." Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

Wu Yuanqing will definitely laugh in his heart when he hears the evaluation of the eldest grandson, do you know that your son Chengqian is excellent, and you know that his position as the crown prince is as stable as a rock. I guess I've begged you to kill me a long time ago.
