Chapter 4 As a brother, he is destined to miss the throne......
"This ...... Does it still have anything to do with the prince's title? ”
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
When will this succession to the throne still have to be the title of prince?
Why haven't I heard of this statement, and there is no such thing in the Great Qian's Law!
"Of course, Brother Huang! This is an unspoken rule that has been tacitly adopted by all countries since ancient times! Otherwise...... Why was the eldest son directly named a prince when he was crowned king? Why do you want to do more? ”
Zhao Yun asked rhetorically as it should be, but Zhao Zheng couldn't help but stagnate.
"Also, if it weren't for that, when the fourth emperor brother was named the prince, how could the government and the opposition be so shaken, thinking that this was the intention of the father to abolish the eldest son and establish the king of Qi as the crown prince!"
Thinking of the time when the four emperor brothers were crowned princes for breaking Beidi, the trend of mountain rain coming up and down the government and the opposition, Zhao Yun couldn't help but add.
"Uh...... Having said that, didn't my father still not appoint the fourth emperor brother as the crown prince after all? ”
Zhao Zheng knew the storm in the city when the four emperor brothers were crowned princes.
But he keenly found the loopholes in Yun Mei's words!
Because even now, the position of the crown prince of the East Palace is still vacant and has never been established!
In this case, the title of prince means that there is a chance to ascend to the crown prince......
Apparently a little untenable!
"That's right, but you haven't thought about it, brother, why did your father acquiesce to the fight between the two brothers, but you have been ...... Unwilling to establish the crown prince? ”
Zhao Yun looked at the imperial brother with blazing eyes, and said tentatively softly.
"This ...... Since his father is still hesitant in his heart, he doesn't know who to choose to succeed him. ”
Zhao Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then responded.
"Not bad! It is true that the father is undecided, but it is ...... Is it really just a hesitation between the eldest brother and the fourth emperor brother? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked.
"Or else...... This? ”
"Needless to say?? I may also choose you, Brother Huang!! ”
Zhao Yun immediately suppressed her voice, clenched her fists, and whispered with a little excitement!
"Huh? Yun'er, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet, right? The father did not choose the eldest brother and the fourth emperor...... How could I choose the youngest Nine Emperor Princes like me?! ”
——————
Zhao Zhengden was shocked, and couldn't help waving his hand again and again!
He had never had such outrageous ideas, and he had never dared to covet the supreme position!!
Even if the Qin State is now rich and powerful, no matter the land area or population and military strength, it is fundamentally different from the entire Daqian Dynasty!
It can be said that in front of the Holy Emperor who is in charge of the entire Great Qian Dynasty, he and the Qin State have no power to fight back at all!
Therefore, he never thought of competing for the supreme holy throne by himself, after all, he was sealed in the border county, and he was simply beyond the reach of the whip for major affairs in the country, and he couldn't do anything at all!
Compared with Zhao Kuo, the prince of Yan, the eldest brother who has a great reputation, and Zhao Tuo, the prince of Qi, who has a heavy army and has a high prestige in the army.
He is just a small vassal king who has been divided into border counties, how can he fight against each other?
Therefore, even if he was crowned a prince by his father, Zhao Zheng never had the possibility that his father could choose himself...... Such an amazing idea!
Ambition can be a good thing.
But if you don't have the strength to match your ambition, you are doomed to die and have no place to be buried!
Therefore, Zhao Zheng simply let himself not have any ambitions, so that he could enjoy this life in peace.
In his mind, since he can live a leisurely life in peace......
Why do you have to carry your head to do something so risky?
"How is this impossible? The eldest brother and the fourth emperor brother are princes, and you are also princes! Why is it impossible to compete for the throne?! ”
Zhao Yun immediately stiffened her neck, and seemed to be very unconvinced!
"Then why don't you say that the princely title of the fourth emperor brother is still hereditary? Doesn't this mean that my father loves the four emperor brothers more than me? ”
Zhao Zheng shook his head again and again, and said speechlessly.
"This ......"
Zhao Yun was stunned at first, then reacted quickly, and immediately refuted!
"Maybe my father's intention is to let the fourth emperor brother always be a prince!"
"Hi yo ~ Yun'er, ......"
Zhao Zheng was really amused by Yun'er's cuteness for a while.
Because obviously when she said this, she began to force her words a little.
"Then why don't you say it, brother Huang, I have no power or power in the government and the opposition...... There is not even a single supporter! ”
Zhao Zheng smiled and shook his head, and retorted helplessly.
"And the eldest brother and the fourth emperor brother have won the support of civil officials and military attaches respectively! In this case...... Do you think that the royal brother and I will still have the opportunity to compete with the two imperial brothers for the supreme position? ”
"This ......"
Zhao Yun was speechless for a moment, but she didn't know how to argue.
Just because she has lived in the capital for a long time, how can she not know that the eldest brother and the fourth emperor brother have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years!
Now the two of them have a ...... in power up and down the government and the opposition How big is it?!
"What's more, even if there is no eldest brother and four emperor brothers, the ministers of the Chinese military affairs of the court...... It's almost impossible to support my royal brother on the throne! ”
Zhao Zheng suddenly sighed, and couldn't help but say quietly.
"Huh? Why is this, Brother Huang?! ”
Zhao Yun was dumbfounded, but he didn't know what the imperial brother meant?
"Didn't you ever think about it...... Why did the Qin State quickly become rich and strong because of the change of law, but I went to other states and counties, but it was as if I had never heard of it...... What does it mean to imitate from invalid? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun suddenly froze, but she seemed to understand something in an instant, and even the fists that were originally clenched suddenly fell down......
And when Zhao Zhengwang saw her expression, he couldn't help but smile lightly, stroked her little head and sighed leisurely.
"Yun'er, you are still young, but you don't know that the changes in the Qin State have already touched the fundamental interests of the entire elite class......"
Whether it is apportioning the land into the mu, or abolishing the probationary examination and establishing the imperial examination, or promulgating the "Qin Code" and "Qin Criminal Code", abolishing the special preferential treatment of the gentry and magnates, making them shackled under the criminal law.
Or abolish the well field system, slavery, and implement the meritorious system, so that the people at the bottom have the opportunity to achieve class leaps through their own struggles!
Almost all of these new policies have fundamentally touched the vital interests of the entire family magnates!
Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, the civil and military ministers who are at the top of the entire elite class will never be able to support a prince who is destined to liquidate himself in the end to ascend to the throne!
They would even rather support Zhao Sheng, the eighth prince of Jin, or Zhao Qian, the sixth prince of Song, but it is impossible for them to support Zhao Zheng, the prince of Qin, the 'wise and martial arts' of the ninth prince!
It's just because Prince Qin's wisdom and martial arts are only aimed at the low-level civilians!
For the elites who were already in the upper class, the new policy implemented by Prince Qin in the Qin State was tantamount to ruining the future and hope of the entire clan!!
Therefore, if Zhao Zheng, who strives to change the law, wants to succeed......
That's harder than climbing to the sky!
Moreover, the more successful the reform of the Qin State became, the more fearful many of the world's magnates became after Prince Qin ascended the throne!
In the face of the resistance and resistance of the entire elite class, even the Taiji Holy Emperor himself is difficult to bear, let alone the little Prince Qin?
It is not even an exaggeration to say that if the anti-Qin momentum is too great, even if the Taiji Holy Emperor wants to forcibly canonize Prince Qin as the crown prince, he has to weigh it carefully!
If it really causes a violent backlash from the entire elite class, wouldn't it cause turmoil in the country, and even the danger of overturning in an instant?!
Therefore, at the moment when he pushed the Qin State to officially implement the law change, Zhao Zheng knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to get on the throne in this life.
But for him, who had no intention of taking the heir, he thought that it was a very indifferent thing, so there was no psychological obstacle at all, so he vigorously pushed the Qin State to embark on the road of changing the law and trying to become strong!
It stands to reason that as long as the Taiji Holy Emperor who supports Zhao Zheng reigns for one day, he is enough to toss around his borders at will without scrupulousness!
After all, the power and means of the founding emperor are something that no one dares to resist or challenge.
But what he never expected was that his father, the emperor, who had always been protecting him, would suddenly be completely unprepared......
Suddenly critically ill!!
Everything, at the moment when he heard that his father was critically ill!
It seems that everything has quietly changed......
……
"The husband is the boat, and the man is the water.
Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat!
The first emperor lost the power of the powerful and the lord, but he won the hearts of all the people in the world!
Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times will win the world!
Jun wins the hearts of the people, such as casting a rich building ship, you can ride the wind and waves, and you are not afraid of turbulence! ”
