Since he knew that Yang Ting, the first assistant to the cabinet, and the prime minister, the prince was not so eager to hurry.

He didn't just bury his head in the road as he did a few days ago, and began to meet with the officials along the way. On the way from Anlu to the capital, how many officials heard the wind and wanted to show their faces in front of this new emperor. Originally, it was impossible to get the door, but now there are gaps, and naturally there are many stitches.

Seeing this, several senior officials were afraid of delaying their trips, so they had to come over to advise one or two.

Shizi was very innocent and said: "Lone just wants to ask about the local people's livelihood." It is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and you can't just avoid in the car on this lonely road. ”

The prince did not delay the trip, every time he met the magistrate, but he only asked about the customs and customs between the words, and did not involve government affairs.

In the eyes of all the Qincha, they all felt that the prince was bored on the road to act like this, so they stopped stopping him.

However, in this way, there are more officials who have visited the prince, but it confirms the rumors that the heir of the son of heaven has entered Beijing. The men and horses who delivered the news, as the large army marched, the stars scattered.

When the team marched to Zhili and joined the Jingwei brought by the military department, the news that the emperor's eldest son had entered Beijing to succeed to the throne was finally officially reported to the imperial court.

Local officials and citizens began to officially serve the state funeral.

In the car, the prince looked at the newspaper of the imperial palace and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Bing was not in the car, and rode with the tiger head. The Taoist idiot sat in the car, with several piles of books behind him. Lu Bing and Tiger Head were not greedy for fun, but to make room for these books, and were driven down by the prince.

These books were bought by the royal officials in the bookstores in the towns along the way, nominally for the Taoist idiot, but in fact the two of them looked for the "theoretical basis" for the feudal king to respect his biological parents after the emperor's succession.

In order to hide the true intentions of the two, the book list is mostly composed of four books and five classics, with a small number of books of other categories such as history books, law books, and counting books.

In a few days, more than 300 sets of books were transported to the wagon.

Not only did the Qincha look at it, but even the members of the royal palace looked sideways.

In everyone's eyes, the prince is too affectionate to the Taoist. And the Taoist idiot is too hypocritical, even if the homework is important, it can still be tighter than the heir. Since he was chosen as an attendant and rode with the son, he should serve the son of the world well, not for the sake of studying, and disturb the son of the world.

Only Yuan Zonggao and Lu Song were surprised, because the two of them knew that the Taoist idiot was not an ignorant person, and the prince would not wronged himself for the sake of compassion for the attendants.

In order to "study" for the Taoist idiot, even Lu Bing was driven out of the carriage, and in the eyes of others, they will feel that the prince values the Taoist idiot as a companion the most, more than the milk brothers; These two old men in the palace knew that the sum of the companions could not match Lu Bing's weight in the hearts of the prince, and there must be something strange in this.

Within two days, someone saw the most important attendant of the prince get out of the carriage and go to Yuan Zonggao's carriage to "ask for advice" with a few books. After taking leave for two or three times, I don't know if the little attendant was impatient and began to ask Yuan Zonggao to go to the world.

Yuan Zonggao was a little helpless and boarded the chariot of the prince.

Several Qincha saw it in their eyes, and they had to pay more attention to the weight of the Taoist idiot.

However, he looked down on the heir to the son of heaven, thinking that a child was a child and acting too childishly. But a companion reads like this.

But I didn't know that in the carriage, it was not a Taoist idiot who asked Yuan Zonggao for advice, but a prince.

The chief officials of the palace are only the fifth grade, but Yuan Zonggao's grade is the third grade. This is because he is not only the chief official of the palace, but also the teacher of King Xingxian, who assisted King Xingxian in governing the domain, and the prince asked the court for a title. The prince also valued him as courtesy, and did not regard him as a subordinate.

Even if he knew that the capital was not peaceful, he was wary of the ministers and harem who could dominate the abolition of the emperor, and the prince thought hard about countermeasures. But after all, he was only fifteen years old, and his experience was limited; Even if the Taoist idiot can "quote the classics", he can only talk on paper about the art of power schemes.

After the two of them looked through the historical materials of the succession of the successive vassal kings, they were only left with fear.

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the royal family to be cut off and the vassal king to succeed the throne. The successful Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty created a prosperous generation; In the same Han Dynasty, Liu He, the king of Changyi, another vassal king who succeeded the emperor, was not so lucky, and only served as the emperor for 27 days, and was deposed by the ministers with "debauchery, loss of imperial etiquette, and chaos in the Han system", becoming one of the "abolished emperors" in history.

According to historical records, Emperor Wen acted cautiously when he set out for Chang'an, first sent his uncle to Chang'an to investigate the truth, and when he was fifty miles away from Chang'an, he sent his subordinates to explore the way to the city. After repeatedly confirming that it was not a trap, he cautiously entered Chang'an and inherited the throne safely.

Although there were only six vassal officials who followed him into Chang'an, on the night he entered Weiyang Palace, he ordered two henchmen to take over the military power of Chang'an and the palace.

For the courtiers who supported him as emperor, King Wen rewarded and appeased. For the arrogant ministers, they are more courteous, and they will not be dealt with until they really grasp the government.

Compared with Emperor Wen, who lived in seclusion for decades under Empress Lu, Liu He, the king of Changyi, was a little stupid after he succeeded to the throne.

He brought more than 200 people into Beijing, boarded the dragon chair, and before he could get the power, he wanted to have the final say, and he was not willing to be a puppet. As a result, he was deposed by the Empress Dowager Shangguan and the powerful minister Huo Guang.

They are all vassal kings, but the endings are different, and the prince naturally doesn't want to be the latter. But his situation is more similar to the latter, that is, the capital not only has a powerful minister who controls the government with one hand, but also a queen mother who is qualified to issue an edict to abolish the emperor.

It is recorded in the history books that Liu He was absurd and unreasonable, and during his reign of 27 days, he did 1,170 absurd things. I only thought Liu He was ridiculous when I saw this earlier, but now when I look at it again, I only feel bleak and ridiculous. Forty ridiculous things a day, what kind of busy Liu He has to become. When he was welcomed as emperor of Chang'an, he was only nineteen years old. Even if there are a few things that do not agree with the rules of the ministers and the queen mother, it will not be as many as forty a day.

It's just "the sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse for it."

The prince has the pride of the prince, he feels that he can't do the forbearance of Emperor Wen of Han, but he doesn't want to end up with the king of Changyi. The vassal king can still do nothing and live peacefully, where can the "abolished emperor" see a good death.

For this reason, the prince asked Yuan Zonggao to get in the car to discuss countermeasures in the name of Taoist idiot.

Regarding the "big pie" of the prince succeeding to the emperor, Yuan Zonggao was also worried in his heart, but it was not as bad as the prince thought.

After getting in the car, hearing Shizi mention this matter with a calm face, Yuan Zonggao was shocked.

The attitude of the prince is like treating the ministers and the queen mother as enemies.

Not to mention that others know what to think, even he, the chief official of the Xingwang Mansion, was a little chilled when he saw this. After all, it was Yang Tinghe who proposed to establish the son of heaven as the heir, and it was the queen mother who was in charge. In the eyes of the world, these two people are the benefactors of the succession of the son.

If the prince really disrespects those two people in the future, in the eyes of the world, he will be "ungrateful" and "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

Yuan Zonggao watched the son grow up, and knew that although he was arrogant, his personality was quite generous, and there was such a change in just a few days, which made him suspicious.

Therefore, he looked at the Taoist idiot with a bit of suspicion.

The Taoist idiot sits at the head of the world, and can only be innocent.

He thought that the son of the world consulted the history books because he wanted to pay respects to his biological parents in the name of justice, after all, the dispute over the "great etiquette" was profoundly recorded in history. Who would know that after the prince inquired around, he shifted the focus, from how to respect his biological parents to how to sit firmly on the throne.

Speaking of which, I don't complain about the deflection of the center of gravity, it is really that there are few princes who can respect their biological parents, and it is even rarer to see the history books.

If it is a "brother to a brother", he is a prince, and there is a precedent for respecting his biological mother as the queen mother. If the relatives of the foreign feudal clan enter the imperial system, most of them will change their fathers and mothers, and their parents will no longer be parents, so they will not only talk about the issue of honorifics.

It can only be said that the impression of the idiot is quite good, although Yuan Zonggao is a little suspicious that he is pampering the prince, it can be seen that his eyes are clear and his face is worried, so he knows that he does not approve of the prince acting like this.

In fact, the suspicions of the prince were all hooked up by the Qincha.

There are a large number of Qincha who come to Beijing to welcome the heir of the Son of Heaven, divided into courtiers, nobles, relatives and internal officials.

Those who can take over this advantage and difference are all important ministers in all aspects, and naturally have their own positions. The courtiers praised Yang Tinghe's ability and loyalty in front of the prince, and the nobles and relatives preached the love of the queen mother and the importance of the heir to the son of heaven.

The power of the internal officials is completely dependent on the emperor, and they naturally do not want the heir of the Son of Heaven to lean towards the cabinet ministers and the Queen Mother, although they also praise Yang Tinghe's "diligence" and Empress Dowager Zhang's "kindness" in front of the prince, but there is a hint of provocation in which these two people cover the sky with one hand.

Shizi is not a soft-eared person, on the contrary, he is also very smart, and from the different statements of the three parties, he can see the hidden meaning. Unfortunately, he didn't intend to go on one side or the other. Whether it is the co-optation of the first two or the provocation of the internal officials, he is annoyed.

Because in their hearts, those people only regarded him as a child who had not performed the rites of childhood, and did not really regard him as an emperor, thinking that he had to rely on one side.

But he is not an ordinary child, he is the son of the king of Xingxian, who has been teaching him by hand and has been in charge of the palace affairs for the time being at the age of thirteen.

Although the palace is not as dangerous as the imperial court, the way of balancing and the way of the emperor is something he learned by playing a small ear.

Cabinet ministers, queen mothers, internal officials, no matter which side he looks like, will destroy the balance of the court, and it is not he who benefits.

He is not an ignorant child, how could he do such a thankless thing.

Seeing that Yuan Zonggao didn't speak, the prince was a little anxious and said: "In the end, how to act after entering Beijing, please also ask Lord Yuan to teach Lonely, there is a mother and sisters alone, the rise and fall of glory is tied to a lonely person, and Lone is afraid of being the king of Changyi." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Zonggao's heart softened.

Even if the prince takes every precaution against Jingzhong, it is due to cherishing his own body and filial piety.

Yuan Zonggao swallowed back the words of admonition, and his face was solemn.

According to the recent news, the court has become a hall, and the prince's worries, even if it is only in case, are not impossible.

He thought for a moment and said, "No matter what His Highness thinks in his heart, before he officially ascends the throne, it is better to be a child." When His Royal Highness ascends the throne and becomes the lord of the world, the internal officials can be dogs and horses, the civil and military forces are tended to them, and the relatives and magnates are divided. ”

Even if the Zhang family is now a family with two marquis and is powerful, as long as the prince gets married after ascending the throne and has a new descendant, he will naturally be able to compete with the Zhang family.

The civil and military are ministers, the internal officials are slaves, and the only one who is afraid is the queen mother. But after all, the queen mother is in the inner court, as long as the prince really holds the authority, she will not be subject to the women of the inner court.

When the prince heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "When my father was alive, the most regrettable thing was that I couldn't take my grandmother to fulfill my filial piety. Lone doesn't want to have regrets like his father. Lord Yuan, the orphan will welcome the mother concubine into the palace to support him...... Don't go to the name of the Queen Mother. ”

"Your Highness!" Yuan Zonggao was shocked: "His Royal Highness succeeded the first emperor and emperor, and he should serve the queen mother as his mother!" ”

Shizi said with a firm expression: "There is a lonely mother, why do you want to serve your aunt as your mother?" The edict only allowed Gu to succeed to the throne, and did not let Gu be the son of the Queen Mother. ”

Yuan Zonggao saw that the prince was so stubborn, and only felt a headache and said, "Your Highness, please be cautious." ”

The prince stared at Yuan Zonggao and said: "Lone will be filial to the Queen Mother, but Lone still wants to be filial to his mother." is an ordinary family, the son has gained fame, and he does not forget to ask for the seal for his parents; Could it be that Lone is an unfilial person, who even gave up his biological parents for the sake of the throne? If this is the case, how will the people of the world view loneliness? ”

Yuan Zonggao only felt bitter in his mouth, and looked at Shizi speechless.

The son of the world is filial piety, as we all know. But at the moment, it is inappropriate to talk about filial piety.

Yuan Zonggao couldn't say anything against it, because he knew that the son of the world was not very old, but he had a good idea. He could only reassure: "This is all in the future, as long as His Highness ascends the throne smoothly, there will always be a solution...... Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Before ascending the throne, Your Highness does not need to rush to mention this matter." ”

Shizi's expression softened a lot, nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to Lord Yuan." The orphan is still young, and before coming out of the palace, the mother concubine had instructed the orphan to consult with Lord Yuan about something. In the future, there will be shortcomings, and you will have to bother adults. Adults are tired, and they are determined to live up to them. ”

Yuan Zonggao said movingly: "The minister only hopes that His Highness is good, and the minister will do his best to assist His Highness." ”

The surprise in Yuan Zonggao's heart disappeared a lot, because he represented the old ministers of the palace, and the more the prince was afraid of the old ministers in the court, the more he would rely on them, the old subordinates of the palace.

Yuan Zonggao was born as a jinshi, and he was appointed as the chief of the palace because he had no ambition in the court, and he had the nature of distribution. It's just that he didn't give up on himself, and assisted King Xingxian to govern the domain in an orderly manner.

Now the prince has to inherit the emperor's rule, although he has brought more than 100 people from the palace, there are a few officials, and there are few who can really have them. After all, even if His Royal Highness had the heart to promote the old man of the palace, he could not directly promote Bai Shen to a high-grade official.

Only Yuan Zonggao is a positive third grade, and if he is promoted, he is a ministry and can speak in the court.

It's not that he is greedy for power, but as a scholar, he once had ambitions to govern the country in his chest. In the Zhengde Dynasty, the power eunuch interfered in politics, and the politics were dark, if he used his old body to clear the dark political situation for the son, it would not be in vain.

When the old man thought about it, he also had a lot of energy, and when he got out of the car, there was a little joy between his eyebrows.

In the eyes of others, I can't help but speculate, could it be that Wang Erlang is a genius boy who fell into Yuan Zonggao's eyes?

In the carriage, the prince was pondering, and the Taoist idiot was flipping through the book, but he was bitter in his heart.

Could it be that the royal people are suspicious of their nature, and the prince is obviously "a soldier of all plants and trees".

Now, those who doubt it are outsiders, and the people around them still believe it. If it continues, the people around you won't be able to believe it, and you will really become a loner......
