As soon as I heard that there was a war to fight, the happiest thing was naturally none other than those generals who were in the court, because many of the generals guarding the Gyeonggi region, as well as the generals with the rank of lieutenant general, almost all stayed in Bianliang, or participated in military affairs, or served in the General Staff, or went directly to the Imperial Military Academy as a visiting professor, so these generals who have been killing people for pleasure all the year round have long been idle and uncomfortable, so when they heard that Zhao Xu was going to give the order to the west, they were naturally as excited as if they had beaten chicken blood.

"In this western expedition, I want to drive the imperial expedition in person, personally lead 20,000 imperial forest troops, 2,000 imperial guards, and 50,000 Beijing camp forbidden troops to go on the expedition, except for Lu Junyi, the secretary of the military department, who went out with me, the remaining five Shangshu and the cabinet scholars stayed in the capital, and the generals of the army except for the defense generals at all levels, the rest of the generals with the rank of lieutenant general and above, together with my seven adult sons, went out with me."

"The ministers obey."

"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say." At this time, Tang Yifei suddenly stepped down from His Majesty and said respectfully to Zhao Xu.

"Yifei? Say whatever you want. Zhao Xu was still very puzzled about Tang Yifei suddenly standing up and speaking, but he still let Tang Yifei say it.

"Your Majesty, you want to drive the expedition in person, and the concubines will naturally not stop it, but Your Majesty, this expedition to the west is no better than before, you have to go over the mountains, cross the big river, and walk through the desert Gobi, although you are still in the prime of life, but no matter what, you have also reached the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and you have never been to such a wild place as the Western Regions before, if your dragon body falls because of a sudden change in the environment, this great empire, and the fragile people in our empire, who should be handed over?" Tang Yifei's words are very unpleasant, and they are words that no one who is an emperor likes to hear, because there is no monarch who does not want to live a hundred years old, but the old man of time did not give more life to the person who is the monarch.

As for Tang Yifei's words, Meng Xinyao, who is Zhao Xu's husband and wife, is naturally the most unacceptable, although Zhao Xu has practiced Tai Chi all year round and has a strong body, but as an emperor, Zhao Xu is so tired, so tired that Meng Xinyao is really afraid that he will suddenly fall down one day, so when he heard Tang Yifei's words, Meng Xinyao was the first person to show full of emotions: "Yifei, how can you curse your husband like this." ”

"Push out this woman who cursed Your Majesty and cut it down."

"Yes, push it out and cut it."

Meng Xinyao's words have been approved by many generals, because in their opinion, since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he has strengthened the military and attached importance to the generals, making the originally weak country glow with new brilliance, and become the most powerful empire in the entire East, and even the whole world.

"Hehehe...... Yifei, you get up," Zhao Xu gently stroked his short white beard under his hand, and said to everyone: "This is actually not a curse, people will get old, I hope that I will never grow old, or even never die, and live to the end of time, but I have to admit that my temples and beard have gray hair, since I ascended the throne, I have been constantly conquest of foreign countries, and constantly improve people's livelihood, probably too busy, so that I seem to forget about the establishment of the prince, this is my mistake, It just so happens that on the occasion of today's unprecedented pilgrimage meeting, let's all share your views. ”

"Your Majesty, my Han people have always regarded the establishment of the prince as the foundation of the country, and the prince is a symbol of the stability of the country and the royal family. Chu Luli, Zhao Xu's eldest brother and one of Zhao Xu's most trusted courtiers, was the first to walk out of the class and bowed to Zhao Xu.

"Your Majesty," at this time, Chu Yun, who had been promoted to a virtuous concubine, raised her hem and said to Zhao Xu slowly: "Your Majesty, my Han people have always had a primogeniture inheritance system, although Your Majesty said that he would not care who is the eldest son and who is the second son, the emperor's position, there are those who can be virtuous, however, according to the views of the concubines, among His Majesty's seven sons, only Zhao Qi and His Majesty from the sister of the Empress of the Zhenggong are the most heroic, so the concubines think that Your Majesty should set up Zhao Qi as the prince." ”

Although Chu Yun's words pull hatred, they are the most true, Zhao Qi is very similar to Zhao Xu in every aspect, and the rest of the sons, although they are not bad, they are still far from Zhao Qi.

Zhao Xu waved his hand to make Chu Yun stand up, then turned to his seven sons and said, "The seven of you should also tell us your opinions." ”

Zhao Lie's personality was the most anxious, and he took the lead in stepping out of the class and bowed to Zhao Xu and said: "Father, make the eldest brother the prince, the son has nothing to say, we have seven brothers, to be honest, except for the eldest brother, whoever is the prince will be inferior to the father, only after the eldest brother is the king in the future can he be expected to catch up with his father, and even catch up with his father, and the eldest brother is like another father in terms of speech and behavior, or civil and martial arts, he is like another father, he will definitely be a good emperor, Erchen finished speaking." ”

Zhao Xu's second son, Zhao Mu, smiled lightly after Zhao Lie finished speaking, and then bowed to Zhao Xu and said: "Father, the son is good at writing, and the third brother is capable of martial arts, however, the two of us are not the emperor's material, the son does not like military affairs, is indecisive, the third brother does not like state affairs, and has a short temper, only the eldest brother can be civil and martial, and is a person who can be the emperor." ”

"Father, the son of the minister was stubborn when he was young, did not want to be motivated, the father did not give up, let the son of the son into the military camp, practice the army, now, the son of the son of the wolf to swim in the jungle sand mountains, the sea and the desert, all like a fish in water, only for the politics, the son is really at a loss, if the eldest brother will be the emperor in the future, the son is willing to be the eldest brother's personal entourage, willing to be his long whip on horse, willing to march for him, willing to be short for him." Zhao Chen said.

And Zhao Xu's other three sons, as concubines, are relatively young, so they naturally have nothing to say about their eldest brother as a prince

"Qi'er, tell me what you think."

Zhao Qi looked up at his father, who had white temples, and gently walked to His Majesty Dan and knelt down respectfully to Zhao Xu, and said humbly: "Thank you for the trust of my father and my younger brothers, what I want to say is that the heir to the throne must be a person who can inherit the will of his father, and a person who can continue to struggle for the well-being of the people of the empire like his father. Taking over the burden on my father's shoulders is not only an honor, but at the same time, this is also the beginning of a lifetime of hard work, you once said, for the empire, for the people, I would rather tear off the left side of my face and stick it on the right cheek, half of the faceless, half of the two faces, although this is ugly, but the son feels that the father is right, for the monarch, for the country, for the people, for the big things, the face of the people compared to the country, the people, that is really a trivial thing, Although the sons still have a lot of shortcomings and shortcomings, but the sons are willing to follow their father's side to listen more and learn more, and the sons think that they will definitely become a prince who will satisfy his father, the ministers, the country, and the people. ”

"What you said is very good, but the father has to correct a wrong point of view for you, the father will slowly grow old with age, and the thinking of the father will slowly fail to keep up with the trend of the times, what you have to do is to become an emperor who satisfies the people of the country, not the prince, the minister, their thinking will continue to change with the change of the king's goal, the only thing that remains unchanged is the interests of the country and the interests of the people."

"Yes, father, the son has written it down."

After his sons and ministers had returned to their positions, Zhao Xu also sat back on his dragon throne and said to all the ministers: "I hereby issue an edict to make Zhao Qi, the eldest son of the emperor, the crown prince. ”

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, all the ministers knelt down in front of Zhao Xu and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, congratulations to His Royal Highness the crown prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Zhao Xu's soul comes from the 21st century of later generations, he knows very well that any feudal dynasty can not last for a long time, long-lasting, only when the people participate in the interests of themselves and the country, the country can really exist for a long time, this is not that Zhao Xu does not believe in his son, but he does not believe that the future monarch of the Song Dynasty will be a kind of person, because people are inert, once the country is strong to an invincible state, Those rulers who are no longer prepared for danger in times of peace will inevitably make this powerful country begin to rot, at this time, Zhao Xu, what he thought of was that he must write a will stipulating the emperor's abuse of imperial power, and then, in his lifetime, he must let the country develop in the direction of a constitutional monarchy, as long as the future emperor controls the military power, the whole country will never have too much chaos.
