"That's true!" Lao Ru nodded, obviously agreeing with Wan Lei's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the host of this exhibition, Pan Lang said: "What Wan Lei Xiaoyou said is not wrong at all, but I don't know who is the master of the world today? If there is another monarch with bad conduct to rule the world, I am afraid that the Han Empire will be in danger of falling! ”

Wan Lei agreed with Pan Lang's words very much, and threw a piece of paper in the middle of the exhibition stand and wrote down five names, namely the emperor (Zhao Guangyi), Chai Jun, Zhao Weizheng, Zhao Degong, and Zhao Gu.

Wan Lei then said: "Taizu lineage, the eldest prince Zhao Dexiu died early, so the second prince Zhao Dezhao should inherit the throne, and the second prince is no longer alive, so it should be inherited by his eldest son Zhao Weizheng, and this is the royal righteousness." ”

Everyone nodded, completely agreeing with his statement, Wan Lei said again: "According to the agreement of the Jinkui Alliance, if the current emperor dies or abdicates, Zhao Guangmei will inherit the throne, but Zhao Guangmei also died, so his eldest son Zhao Degong also has the right to inherit the throne." ”

"As for the current emperor and the king of Yunnan Chai Jun, needless to say, the former is the son of Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Shizong, and it stands to reason that there is also the possibility of inheriting the unification."

"In addition to these four people, the most powerful one today is Zhao Gu, the Duke of Zhuoguo, he is a wonder in the sky, if he can be the emperor, it will naturally benefit the people of the world, but he is not a member of the royal family, if he takes the initiative to succeed to the throne, I am afraid it is unreasonable."

"These five people are the most likely people to become emperors today, and our literary scholars and scholars are disciples of saints, and they should do things for the people, but for the people of the world, but they want to pick out one of these five people to assist in the right to strive to calm the world as soon as possible, what do you think?" Wan Lei said a lot in one breath, and finally asked.

"That's true, Wan Lei's little friend is a great talent!" The old Confucian exclaimed.

Wan Lei smiled modestly, and then returned to his place and sat down, while the others fell into deep thought, thinking about who to assist.

Seeing this, Pan Lang glanced at Wan Lei without a trace, Wan Lei seemed to notice it, glanced at him, and nodded slightly.

After a long time, a group of old Confucians and scholars seemed to have made up their minds, and one of them said: "Let's talk about the most suitable person to be the emperor in your mind, and then everyone will discuss it together. ”

"Old monster Pan Lang, what do you think?" The old man then asked.

Pan Lang grinned: "If you want to ask me, then you are really asking the right person, I tried to assist Zhao Guangmei to ascend to the throne back then, but he was ambitious and talented, he didn't know how to forbear, and he couldn't listen to other people's advice, so he ended up with a tragic death." And his eldest son, Zhao Degong, I also know very well, I can say that instead of making him the emperor, it is better to continue to let the current emperor continue to sit in that position. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, obviously they still believed in Pan Lang very much about this matter, after all, he was Zhao Guangmei's staff, and he naturally knew Zhao Degong very well.

"Then Zhao Degong was excluded, among the remaining four, who can be the emperor?" Old Confucianism.

"Chai Rongnai is the prince of the Later Zhou Dynasty, speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty took away his emperor's throne, if he is the emperor, he will inevitably restore the rule of the Later Zhou, and then I am afraid that the world will be even more chaotic." Another old Confucian.

"Exactly." Everyone nodded.

"Then there are only three people left, Zhao Weizheng and Zhao Gu, I personally do not approve of the current emperor continuing to rule the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the grievances between him and Zhao Gu, the Duke of Zhuoguo, will always be difficult to solve, and the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably fall apart, even if Zhao Gu does not want to start a war, but it is not a matter of such a north-south confrontation!" The old Confucian who spoke at the beginning.

Everyone nodded again, fully affirming his opinion.

"So what to do? Choose between Zhuo Guogong and Zhao Weizheng? Pan Lang asked.

Wan Lei also spoke at this time and said his thoughts.

"Seniors and classmates, with all due respect, although Zhao Weizheng is the grandson of Taizu, but Taizu has been suppressed by the current emperor for many years, and has no power or power in the court, and Zhao Weizheng and his people do not have much talent, even if we put him on the throne, I am afraid that it will also mislead the country and the people, and he is often sick, his body is weak, and he has not left any heirs, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the country."

"And that kind of thing?" An old Confucian didn't expect Wan Lei to know so many secrets, and he couldn't help but be in awe of him, and then everyone couldn't help but think that only Zhao Gu was suitable for ascending the throne.

The young scholars have no objection to this, not to mention that Zhao Gu has made great contributions, can be civil and martial, he also invented greenhouses to improve people's livelihood, invented Shenwei thunderbolts to improve the military, and is the idol of young people, for Zhao Gu to be the emperor, they not only do not object, but also very much in favor.

However, the attitude of some old Confucians is not very clear, although they also hope that Zhao Gu will ascend to the throne, but Zhao Gu is not a royal family member after all, if he takes the throne rashly, I am afraid it will be unseemly.

The so-called system, is the meaning of the unification of the system, since ancient China is the primogeniture inheritance system, which means that the emperor's position can only be passed to the son-in-law, that is, the first child born to the queen, if the son-in-law dies early, it will be passed to the eldest son, that is, the emperor's first son.

Although this kind of system is somewhat unreasonable and unfair to other princes and individuals, it is a necessary thing for the stability of the world, and its existence is reasonable.

Just imagine, there is only one eldest son anyway, unless the queen gives birth to twins, and there are many other princes, if this system is not established, then every prince has the possibility of inheriting the throne, and the world must not be turned upside down?

When you don't see the Qing Dynasty in later generations, Kangxi once had eight sons to seize the heir, and what a mess it was, not only affected the royal family, but also affected the stability of the court and the people's livelihood if the princes formed a faction and excluded dissidents.

The succession to the emperor's throne is still so strict with the princes, not to mention a courtier in Zhao Gu, he is not a member of the royal family, if he succeeds to the throne, wouldn't it be unjustifiable? If some other careerists follow suit, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world and rise in all directions.

Just imagine, even if Zhao Gu became the emperor at this time, could his son and grandson still be as virtuous as him after becoming emperors? If the descendants are not virtuous, the heroes of the world have the lesson of Zhao Gu, and they will not immediately rebel!

The worries of the old Confucians are not unreasonable, although they are more or less pedantic, but this is the dictate of the times, and Wan Lei and other young scholars cannot refute it.
