The canonization of the crown prince is definitely the most sensitive topic in the palace, and it is usually a topic that neither the concubine nor the princess nor the eunuch or the palace maid dare to talk about, of course, many people will definitely think about it in their hearts. The Ming royal family has no pressure from the ancestral system, and under Han Fei's consistent advocacy, the harem basically maintains a harmonious atmosphere, or there is no sign of palace fighting on the surface, of course, some small actions are inevitable in secret.

In order to maintain this harmonious situation, everyone deliberately avoided this sensitive topic, but it does not mean that there is no thought in their hearts, after all, the interests involved in the position of the crown prince are too great. Whoever can become the prince will at least get the title of imperial concubine, and the family associated with her will also receive huge benefits.

This sensitive topic, the concubines and princes did not dare to talk nonsense, today the emperor brought it up in public, the concubines and princes were shocked, and some even flashed eagerness in their eyes.

Who can become the crown prince is in the hands of Emperor Han Fei, but according to the etiquette system of previous dynasties, there are also rules to follow, either the chief or the virtuous. Lichang naturally refers to the eldest son as the first choice, when there is no son-in-law, then choose the emperor's eldest son, this system is easy to get recognized, but also thousands of years of customary rules. As for Lixian, what is virtuous is purely decided by the emperor.

What the concubines and princes care about is whether Han Fei adopts the long-term system or the Lixian system, if it is the long-term system, there is no doubt that it is Han Jin, the eldest son of the queen, and others can't say anything; What if it's Lixian? Then the princes in the front have a chance.

Han Fei saw the expressions of the concubines and princes in his eyes, and said slowly: "Our Han family started from the end of the way, step by step to today, the hardships of it, all of you here have personally experienced, I won't say much, to my relief, the harem can maintain harmony, the children can also unite and love, this tradition can not change, you all listen, this point should be used as the ancestral precept of the Ming Dynasty, future generations must not violate it, if there are concubines and disobedient descendants who dare to disturb the palace, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

The concubines and princes were shocked and hurriedly replied: "The concubines (sons) must follow the teachings of the Holy (Father)!" ”

"All the concubines are well-versed people, and the children are also very sensible, I can trust you, and this is mainly for future generations!" Han Fei looked at everyone and continued: "All the descendants of the Han family, regardless of their descendants, enjoy the right to equal treatment and education, all concubines treat their children, whether they are biological or not, they must be treated equally, and the children treat all their mothers, whether they are grandmothers and mothers-in-law, as their own mothers. Concubines who violate this ancestral precept will be admonished lightly, sent to the cold palace in the worst cases, and executed in serious cases; Those who violated the ancestral precepts were admonished and punished by the Zongren Palace, and the royal status was seriously removed. ”

"The concubines (sons) must follow the teachings of the Holy Lord (father)!"

"Now let's talk about the canonization of the crown prince!" Han Fei turned his head to look at the queen Zhang Wanyi sitting beside him, and said, "As the queen and the mother of the children, what do you think about this?" ”

Zhang Wanyi got up and saluted and said: "Enlighten the saint, the crown prince is related to the Ming Dynasty and the country, it is a major event of the government, there is a clear precept in ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines dare not speak falsely!" ”

"Today is an internal meeting of the Han family, not considered to be in politics, and today's meeting is for the Ming Dynasty to set up ancestral teachings, and it should also be brainstormed, but the queen said that it is okay!"

Zhang Wanyi listened to Han Fei's words, and still shook her head and said: "Shengshang, 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', this system cannot be violated at any time, all the affairs of the royal family are state affairs, and they are all related to the major policies of the Ming Dynasty, how can the concubine be the queen knowingly?" In the pilgrimage, the saint is the emperor, at home, the saint is the head of the family, and the duty of the concubine is to follow the will of the saint, manage the harem, and teach the children to grow up! ”

Han Fei stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Wanyi's wrist and sighed: "The queen is so virtuous, I am lucky, Daming is lucky, and I won't force you to do anything to break the precepts!" ”

Queen Zhang Wanyi was resolutely reluctant to express her position, and the other concubines naturally didn't dare to say anything, Han Fei asked the concubines to step aside and take their seats, and then summoned the princes to the front. Han Fei's sons are more than ten years old, but only Hu'er, Han Cheng, Han Zhen, Han Cheng and his eldest son Han Jin are over fifteen years old.

Han Fei glanced at his sons, looked at Hu'er and said, "Hu'er, you are my eldest son and the elder brother of the princes, what do you have to say about the canonization of the crown prince?" ”

Hu'er looked calm, and said respectfully: "Enlighten the father, the sons have nothing to say, no matter who the father appoints as the crown prince, the sons will be loyal to the prince like their fathers!" ”

"Hmm!" Han Fei snorted, looked at the other older sons, and said, "Cheng'er, Zhen'er, Qi'er, Jin'er, what do you have to say?" ”

"The sons have nothing to say, everything is decided by the father, and the sons will be as loyal to the Ming prince as they are to their father!"

Han Fei bowed his head and said: "You are all my good sons, is the hope of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was not long established, if you want to make the country stable, the most important thing is the unity of the royal family, you and your descendants must always remember the lesson of the rebellion of the previous dynasty that led to the death of the country!" ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father!"

Han Fei spread out the map he brought on the spot, summoned his sons to the front, and said: "You all come and see, the world is big, Daming is just a corner, there are countless countries around Daming, some countries are not weaker than Daming, this is also a potential threat to Daming." As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you should broaden your horizons, don't be limited to the Ming Dynasty, work hard, and have the ambition to conquer the world! ”

The princes were all enthusiastic when they heard Han Fei, staring at the map, and after a while, Hu'er said: "Father, in the opinion of the sons, the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty may come from the Western Regions or the Northeast nomads, and the sons are willing to lead a team of soldiers and horses to conquer the Western Regions!" ”

At this time, Han Cheng, Han Zhen, Han Qi, and Han Jin also hurriedly said: "Erchen is also willing to lead the troops to the battle!" ”

"It's good that you have such ambitions!" Han Fei pointed to the map and said: "Hu'er is the governor of the Western Regions, leading 100,000 soldiers and horses into the Western Regions, occupying a place to lay a foundation, protecting the trade routes in the west of the Ming Dynasty, and providing a barrier for the western Ming Dynasty; Cheng'er went to the North Sea Fleet and gradually occupied the Wa Kingdom, and then became the governor of Fusang; Zhen'er went to the South China Sea Fleet, based on Luzon, gradually controlled the Nanyang countries, and became the governor of Nanyang; As the Governor of Australia, he led the ocean-going fleet and occupied Australia as the foundation! ”

"The retainers obey!" Hu'er, Han Cheng, Han Zhen, and Han Cheng all understood that Han Fei was tantamount to making overseas lands their kingdoms, and they were all very excited.

Seeing that Han Fei didn't mention himself, Han Jin hurriedly said, "Father, where are the sons?" ”

Han Fei said with a smile: "Jin'er, your brothers have opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty, so you will stay in the Ming Dynasty and serve as their backing!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone understood that Han Fei was going to canonize Han Jin as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but he was the eldest son and a legitimate candidate for the crown prince.

Han Fei paused for a moment, and then said: "Jin'er, I won't appoint you as the crown prince for the time being, I will give you a task, you go to Daming to walk around, go deep into the people to investigate the people's feelings, for a period of three years, you can't return to Beijing without important things!" ”
