If Yang Zhen was here, I am afraid that he would also be surprised, not that he thought that King Xingwu's idea was so strange, or what kind of court storm this move would cause. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Instead, this reminded Yang Zhen of the Qing Dynasty's secret storage system, which was almost identical! The secret crown prince system is a system for selecting the heir to the throne established by Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty after the abolition of the open reserve system.

This system was indeed perfect in ancient times, and compared with the secret and open reserves, the most obvious ones did have four advantages:

First, it ensured the sole right of King Xingwu and subsequent emperors to elect the crown prince, and others could no longer interfere, weakening the intervention of the clan and the ministers.

The second is to pre-determine the heir, which also prevents disputes and accidents that arise when the emperor suddenly falls ill or encounters an accident.

The third is to prevent the crown prince from gaining great power prematurely, and even threatening King Xingwu. At the same time, it also prevents the shift of the focus of the ministers and the premature standing in line.

Fourth, the most important thing is to avoid the brutal struggle between the princes for the throne, which has a great effect on stabilizing the political situation.

I'm afraid that as soon as this move comes out, Yang Zhen will probably have to consider whether King Xingwu is a traverser!

Besides, above the main hall, the ministers discussed the pros and cons of King Xingwu's move one after another, and their voices were buzzing like a vegetable market. While the princes and princes who participated in the competition for the throne were disappointed, they seemed to be relieved.

If it hasn't been announced, there will still be a chance!

King Xingwu's heart is very happy, from then on, the crown prince has been established, but he is the only one who knows, the ministers no longer dare to stand in line, and the princes do not dare to tilt each other, the whole palace, at least on the surface, will look more harmonious.

After all, who knows who the crown princes are? offended this prince today, if he becomes the emperor, will he settle the score? Supporting this royal prince today, wouldn't he have become a rebel and thief if he hadn't been? Everyone, can only observe King Xingwu's own words, listen to his words, and cautiously hope to see some clues.

"Your Majesty think twice!" Suddenly, Prime Minister Du Luohui led his ministers to kneel on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Huh?" King Xingwu knew that this matter would not be so easy to stop, but he couldn't stop him from talking, so he had to patiently show the harmony of the monarch and the ministers, and asked with a smile: "What is the matter with Aiqing?" ”

Du Luo Huo knelt on the ground and howled: "Since ancient times, whether it is contained in the moral etiquette articles written by the saints, or the golden words of Emperor Taizu, it will be clear that the open establishment of the prince is the right way!" This matter is related to the foundation of rejuvenating the country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the foundation of the stability of the imperial court. His Majesty's secret move to establish a prince is like child's play! I'm afraid it will cause the world to boil and talk about it! Above the court and even in the armies everywhere, the civil and military generals have no psychology from now on, and they tremble as if they were walking on thin ice! And the princes will also be suspicious of each other, and even deviate from His Majesty! ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers kneeling on the ground shouted in unison: "Please take back your majesty's order!" Please Your Majesty set up a crown prince and announce it to the world! ”

King Xingwu was furious, he stood up, pointed at Du Luohuo with a trembling voice, and roared angrily: "Do you have to force the palace? ”

After hearing this, the ministers hurriedly kowtowed, and Du Luohui continued: "The ministers don't dare! It's just that the morality of this monarch and minister, father and son can't collapse! The law of the ancestors of the first emperor cannot be changed! Since the ministers eat the king's fortune, they must be loyal to the ministers, for the society, for His Majesty, for the people of the world, and the ministers can only risk death to advise! ”

King Xingwu stood up and looked around at the ministers who were prostrate on the ground, only to feel that no one could understand him in the Manchu Dynasty: "What is the lofty theory of the Dao of the People's Republic of China, but it is the same as the monarch and the minister, the father and the son!" If the world remains unchanged, how can it be rejuvenated? If the world remains unchanged, why should the Yang thief betray and lose the land? O Aiqing! If it remains unchanged, the rejuvenation of the country will die! ”

When Du Luohuo heard this, his head was covered with cold sweat, how could this be from the mouth of the king of a country, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is cautious!" ”

King Xingwu sneered: "What do you say? If I say that I am going to die, the rejuvenation of the country will die? Then if I say another sentence about the violent death of Yang Thief and Hu Yansheng, can I also get what I want? I said that the world is all prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, is it a prophecy? So what else do I have to wait for? Just open and close your mouth! What else do I want to set up a crown prince, wouldn't it be more desirable to live for thousands of years! ”

Du Luohuo was distorted by King Xingwu's nonsense and unreasonable trouble, and he was speechless, his face turned red, and in the end, he actually hit the pillar in the hall!

Blood flowed when it landed! Unconscious!

King Xingwu was shocked! He didn't expect this old man to be so stubborn! I didn't want to force him to death! If the prime minister is forced to death, not to mention how it is recorded in the history books, even the mouth of the world will drown him with saliva! He hurriedly shouted, "Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" ”

Among the ministers, who knew medical skills, hurriedly helped the prime minister, probed his breathing, and when he was still angry, he put his mind at ease. Hurriedly gave up his position to the imperial doctor who had been waiting for His Highness to prevent emergencies.

The imperial physician checked the pulse, rolled the prime minister's eyelids again, checked the wound, nodded and said to the emperor: "The prime minister is fine, although he broke his head when he hit the pillar this time, he has no worries about life." In addition to the violent impact, there is also a cause for anger in the heart. As long as the prime minister bandages the wound well, applies the golden wound, drinks some decoction to remove the fire, and meditates for a few days, he can go to the ground. ”

King Xingwu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and help the prime minister go down to rest!" I waited for Zai Duqing to wake up and then went to see him, put this box, under the protection of the ministers, on the high platform outside the palace, and kill those who approached without permission every day! Those who attack the high platform are regarded as plotting against the nine clans! Under the supervision of the world! Let's go away! After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.

The ministers looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the prime minister's death advice did not change King Xingwu's mind, and everyone had no backbone, so they could only watch King Xingwu leave, and the secret reserve system became a foregone conclusion.
