Chapter 308: The Dispute over the Establishment of the Reserve (2)
Chi Chi hinted to the eldest prince that as long as he could master a little military power in Beijing, he might not have no chance in the future.
It's just that he didn't say the word "rebellion" directly.
If he had said such a rebellious thing in the past, I was afraid that the eldest prince would have been surprised for the first time, and then never have anything to do with her again, not necessarily that she had such thoughts, but she must have been wary of her.
After all, he already knew that this sister was a restless person.
However, now the situation is different, Chi Chi has done this for him, as Chi Chi said, she has completely offended the queen, if the world of this Chen country is the queen and the second prince in the future.
There is no place for delay.
He can be an idle prince in the capital, the queen may not care about him, the most common situation is to ask him to go to the fief again, the second prince is benevolent, and he will definitely not attack his brother.
And to kill the heirs of the first prince, the queen can't do it in the end, but I'm afraid that she will be impeached by many people, so at least the eldest prince is safe for his life.
But for Chi Chi, that's different.
She is a princess, everything depends on who she can marry, and after marrying, how that family treats her depends on the reaction of these people in the palace.
The queen is Chi Chi's mother-in-law, and she is naturally qualified to decide whose family Chi Chi marries to.
Even if he is favored by the emperor now, but the emperor is the emperor in the end, he naturally won't take his daughter's marriage too seriously, and he naturally won't think that the queen will stumble on this matter.
Not to mention these, after a hundred years of the emperor, if it is really the second prince who ascends the throne, at that time, it will be just the delay of a princess, and it is really an ant in the hands of the queen, and it is easy to pinch to death.
The reason why she would say such a thing, in fact, was just to protect herself.
The eldest prince is understandable, in the end, she is now at this point, and it is also because of him.
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have reached such an incompatible point with the queen.
No matter what the reason, it is the eldest prince who owes something to Chi Chi.
He sighed, and then took all these things to heart.
After going back, he really re-contacted Jinyiwei, he knew in his heart, for the eldest prince, he had worked so hard for so many years, was it just to be an idle prince for himself?
Is it just that the people who helped them in the first place should go down this path?
In fact, the eldest prince may not be a person with many consciences, but this time, Chi Chi can be said to be a great favor to him.
If he didn't take it to heart, he would feel sorry for himself.
Moreover, he always had the feeling that there might still be a place to help him in the future.
Now he won't suffer any loss in what he does anyway, of course, it's better to prepare everything first.
-
The queen's side is a rare way to act so vigorously and resolutely, the first day just made a decision, and within two days, someone really came to the table to ask the emperor to become a prince.
Although the emperor had long known that the queen was going to do this, when the real thing happened, the emperor would still feel bored.
The person who bowed his head below said that he was sincere in his words, and between the lines, he cared about the emperor and the Chen country, saying that the country has no prince and the country is unstable.
To put it bluntly, it's not just thinking about the interests of his own camp, to put it bluntly, the emperor is upright and in his prime, and now there is no war happening, even if he doesn't establish a prince in the past two years, what's the matter, but one by one they seem to be in a hurry, as if the emperor will die tomorrow.
The emperor was displeased, but he also knew that this time was different from the past, not that he could not decide if he didn't want to.
So he opened his mouth and asked, "So, which prince does the Qing family think is suitable?" ”
The minister said, "Since childhood, there is a clear distinction between the elders and the young, the elders and the young are orderly, the monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons have always had a system to speak of, and our Chen Guo is also a descendant." Her Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Queen's Mother-in-law, is forgiving and benevolent, knowledgeable and courteous, and knows the righteousness, and even has talent, and the ministers asked for a decree to canonize His Royal Highness the Second Prince as the prince, in order to secure the foundation of the country. ”
Sure enough, he is still the second prince.
Because now the eldest prince no longer has any advantages, and he is barely kept in the capital, which is already a rare thing for everyone, and it still has to be done by delay, so it seems to be the most reasonable thing to propose to be called the second prince of Lichu now.
The emperor also knew it in his heart.
He lifted his eyelids, and then asked, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”
Naturally, there are no people on the second prince's side, but the people on the eldest prince's side can naturally only bite the bullet.
"The minister thinks it's inappropriate."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What does Qing think?" ”
"The minister believes that His Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and now when it comes to the person who is the prince, his heart can be punished, and His Majesty does not have to take it to heart. Your Majesty can wait until he thinks he has a suitable candidate before making a reserve, and there is no need to rush it. ”
The Emperor nodded slightly.
The people on the second prince's side immediately said, "Lord Zhou, now you say this lightly, everyone knows that the establishment of a prince is the foundation of the country, of course, Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his body is just right, but the country has no prince for a day, which makes people's hearts unstable, this, you say yes or no." ”
Lord Zhou said: "Your Majesty still has 10,000 years, why is the people's hearts unstable, in the end, you are very thoughtful, I can't wait." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Is it that it is necessary to wait until 10,000 years before His Majesty can establish a reserve? Where does this rule come from? Now His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the concubine of the East Palace, and there is an heir of the emperor, and his character is noble and upright, which is the case, and it should be worthy of being a prince. ”
"Is this all there is to the present?"
"How else else?"
It's a lot of trouble again.
The emperor slapped the table, "The matter of establishing a prince has been fighting for a long time, and I already have a number in my heart, so I will temporarily postpone it today and wait for me to think about it again." ”
He saw that the courtiers who were still going to stand up and speak, so he said, "Within five days, a decision will definitely be made on the matter of establishing the prince, and the princes don't need to say anything more." ”
The emperor said this, if they didn't give up, it would make the emperor feel that they had no sense of proportion.
Therefore, no one present dared to stand up and say anything anymore.
After the emperor returned to the imperial study, he sat for a while, he was actually thinking about it, in recent years, Lichu's remarks have become more and more popular, to put it bluntly, he is still not as good as those people say "Spring and Autumn Prosperity", he himself is also clear, he is getting old.
And those princes have also grown up slowly.
He sighed, and then passed on Cao Ting's recovery.
The emperor spoke, "Today, the previous dynasty mentioned the establishment of the prince again. ”
Cao Tingyue lowered his head and remained silent.
The emperor knocked on the table, "You say, is this really the last year of the wind and candles?" As a result, everyone in the previous dynasty was anxious to become like this. ”
Cao Tingyue sighed, "Your Majesty knows that this is not the case. ”
The emperor was silent.
Cao Tingyue said, "This should not have been said by a minion, but when a servant said this, he just wanted to ask His Majesty to be relieved, Your Majesty will always be the master of Chen Guo, no matter who says anything, it will not be able to go beyond Your Majesty." ”
The emperor glanced at Cao Tingyue, and he continued, "In the end, but this time, the dispute between the two royal highnesses of the eldest prince and the second prince finally had a result, and the winning side naturally could not take nothing, since His Majesty agreed to let the eldest prince stay in the capital, this prince had to be given to the second prince to show appeasement." ”
The emperor laughed, but he didn't smile much, "It's funny to say, now that the position of the prince is about to be appeased?" ”
"But whatever others want the most, is the comfort that others want most." What Cao Tingyue said, the emperor can't deny that this is indeed the case.
He sighed, "So, you made him the prince?" ”
"Your Majesty is the master, in fact, all this is also depending on Your Majesty's mind, if Your Majesty is unwilling, just treat it as if there is no such thing, and everything else will not hinder it."
"How can it be regarded as not having this? Now everyone is waiting for me to make a decision, and now I say again, I just don't want to make a reserve, believe it or not, these old men's saliva can drown me. ”
Cao Tingyue lowered his head, and just said, "The slaves next to him don't care, the slaves are just loyal to Your Majesty, if anyone makes Your Majesty uncomfortable, Your Majesty ordered, the slave immediately cut off his head to Your Majesty." ”
Regardless of whether Cao Tingyu's words were flattery or what, after all, it made the emperor feel comfortable, so he took a sip of tea, "If this thing is really to ask you to cut off your two heads, it will be light." ”
He nodded at Cao Tingyu, "I heard that you have been living outside the palace recently?" Why don't you live in the East Factory? ”
"I also replied to His Majesty before, most of the time I do things outside, and living outside can be regarded as a place to rest, but now there are rumors about the mansion, but this slave never dare."
The emperor put down the tea bowl, "What is there to dare to do." Even if it's a big house, you are the head of Dongchang, what's the big deal about having a house. ”
He lifted his eyelids, "If anyone dares to chew your tongue indiscriminately, even if it comes to me, I will call the shots for you." ”
Cao Tingyue smiled, "This is all a worthless trivial matter for a minion, how dare you come to trouble Your Majesty." ”
The Emperor just shook his head.
He now has too much trust in Dongchang, and never thought that Cao Ting would be more disobedient.
And people often misjudge many things because of their overconfidence.
