Chapter 352: Scheming
"Okay, I see what you mean." Cui Shicheng said with a smile.
In his heart, he didn't take Prince Xuan's words seriously at all.
Since ancient times, the inheritance of the throne has not only been passed on to men but not to women, but also to the rules of passing on the heirs not to the concubines, and the rules of passing on the elders not to the young, and there has never been a saying that it will be passed on to the best sons and daughters.
Prince Xuan's words, he felt that it should be purely to please Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, Xiao Zhengzhen, and Xiao Qiongzhi.
Of course, even Prince Xuan chose to side with Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, Xiao Zhengzhen, and Xiao Qiongzhi, which further illustrates how irrational it is to openly oppose Xiao Xuanliang's intention to let Xiao Qiongzhi inherit the throne.
Therefore, when he saw Wen Tianwen being criticized by Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Qiongzhi, and King Dingwei one after another, his position in his heart had become more and more unfirm, and he was even more shaken.
He looked at Wen Tian and asked, and said with a sincere face: "Master Wen, everything Your Majesty said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Shizi, Princess Zhong Ling, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and others is extremely reasonable, you better reflect on it!" ”
Wen Tianwen was so angry that he spat at him directly, and said hatefully: "Get out!" Spineless stuff! The unwritten rules left by our ancestors for thousands of years cannot be abolished! If a woman inherits the throne, the royal bloodline will be subverted, which is a great disapproval in the world! ”
"Hmph, it's not a pity for me to die, I only hate my Daxiao Jiangshan, sooner or later it will be destroyed in the hands of you flatterers!"
"Yo ho, Master Wen, you're really excited! Your eyes can only see a large area on the tip of your own nose, and you think everyone should be like you? When Xiao Zhenjia heard this, he couldn't listen anymore.
He stood up, pointed at Wen Tian with his right hand and asked, and said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you, you don't give me any unwritten rules of the ancestors!" ”
"In this world, there are many places like our Eastern Continent. The royal families in those places, basically, the descendants of both men and women can enjoy the inheritance rights of the emperors! ”
"The person who should get out is none other than you, a sophist like you who is ignorant and ignorant in your bones, holding the so-called unwritten rules left over for thousands of years, and being an arrow!"
Wen Tianwen's face darkened.
He argued unwillingly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm not quibbling, if there are no rules in this world, there will be chaos!" You have to understand that our Great Depression is in the Eastern Continent, not in other places, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and one side respects the other side of the rules-"
"Master Wen, don't say it!" Chen Jingzhi stood up suddenly, interrupting Wen Tianwen's words.
Wen Tianwen couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought that Chen Jingzhi was also going to be like Xiao Xian, Yao Zhong, and Cui Shicheng, and looked at Chen Jingzhi with wide eyes, his eyes were like knives.
"I think what Princess Zhong Ling just said to you is very reasonable. That is, it will be her turn to inherit the throne, and it will take at least a few decades. ”
"Instead of arguing with everyone early on over whether she has the right to inherit the throne, you should think about how to persuade the prince of the prince's mansion to have a few more children in the past few decades!"
"What do you mean?" Wen Tianwen was inspired and hurriedly asked.
"Back then, Humble Jing and I only had one daughter, Lingfeng, and we were reluctant to let her go, for fear that she would be hurt emotionally, so we would claim to the public that whoever wants to marry the daughter of the Chen family must first promise not to marry another person in his life and not to take a concubine."
"But there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. Since ancient times, the only one who can be passed on to the next generation in the true sense can only be a son, and it cannot be a daughter, otherwise, the bloodline of the family will not be pure. ”
"Therefore, I am now willing to take back in public that whoever wants to marry the daughter of the Chen family must first promise not to marry another person in his life and not to take concubines. That is to say, the prince of the prince's mansion gave my eldest daughter Lingfeng a lifetime and a couple, and there is no need to count. ”
"From now on, I hereby promise that if within ten years, my daughter Lingfeng is still unable to raise another child because of physical problems, then, after ten years, I will not object to the prince of the prince's mansion taking a concubine and having children!"
"Good! With your words, I am relieved! Wen Tianwen immediately smiled.
In his eyes, Chen Jingzhi has always been cunning and cunning, and he rarely can form a united front with him.
This time, I didn't expect that Chen Jingzhi was the only person who could support his opinion.
Moreover, Chen Jingzhi still took the initiative to make a public decision If within ten years, Chen Jingzhi's daughter Lingfeng is still unable to raise children because of physical problems, then, ten years later, Chen Jingzhi will not object to the prince's promise to take a concubine and have children.
This means that ten years later, if Xiao Zhengzhen takes a concubine, the first woman to give birth to a son for Xiao Zhengzhen, will have the hope of becoming the Empress Dowager Xiao!
That's great!
The reason why Wen Tianwen insisted on opposing Xiao Qiongzhi's inheritance of the throne of Da Xiao was that in fact, advocating adherence to unwritten tradition was only one of them, and the other point was that he intended to marry his eldest granddaughter to Xiao Zhengzhen back then.
He also deliberately told Xiao Xuanliang about this tentatively.
Xiao Xuanliang had no opinion at all, but just reminded him that this matter still depends on Xiao Zhenjia and Xiao Zhengzhen's own intentions.
At present, Xiao Zheng is really in Dongxing, together with Xiao Zhengzhen's third uncle Xiao Zhenye, to help Dongxingguo resist the invasion of Xidi Kingdom, and it will take a few days to come back, let him first marry his eldest granddaughter to Xiao Zhengzhen's plan, and talk to Xiao Zhen's family to see what he means, and then discuss it in the long run.
As a result, Xiao Zhenjia listened to his tone and did not object.
He was happy, where did he think that as soon as Xiao Zhengzhen came back from Dongxingguo, he went directly to Chen Jingzhi's house and asked to marry Chen Lingfeng.
Later, as soon as he inquired, he learned that Xiao Zhengzhen had met Chen Lingfeng, who went to Dongxingguo to study in disguise as a man, half a year ago.
At that time, Chen Lingfeng was in danger during his study tour, but fortunately Xiao Zhengzhen helped him to get out of danger.
Next, Xiao Zhengzhen took care of Chen Lingfeng for a period of time, and the two fell in love with each other and gradually fell in love.
Because of this, he regretted it very much, and he couldn't think of the trick of letting his eldest granddaughter also go to Dongxingguo to study.
At the same time, I have a deep understanding of Chen Jingzhi's cunning.
After all, Xiao Zheng really went to help Dongxingguo resist the invasion of Xidi, and Chen Jingzhi, as the prime minister of Da Xiao, must know about his whereabouts.
Otherwise, how could Chen Lingfeng be so coincidental, go to Dongxing to study, and also happen to meet Xiao Zhengzhen who is fighting in Dongxing!
You know, the place where the war is fought is not a suitable place for study.
Fortunately, now, he happens to have a granddaughter who is clever and well-behaved, beautiful, only six years old this year, and ten years later, he will be sixteen years old.
"Your Majesty, Wechen was also for the sake of Daxiao just now, and he was in a hurry, so he took the liberty to contradict His Majesty and Princess Zhong Ling, Wechen now implores His Majesty to read Wechen for decades, for the sake of caring for the future of Daxiao, forgive Wechen's confusion, let the minister tell the old!" Wen Tianwen pondered for a while, and said to Xiao Xuanliang very earnestly.
After speaking, he also kowtowed to Xiao Xuanliang several times.
