Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Prince's Question

Shen Guoshi didn't stop at all, and continued: "According to Mingyue, in his previous life, Xiao Yi killed half of the people in the capital, and most of the people in the capital were burned. You're by him. At the time, I didn't believe it much. However, such a major event must be prepared anyway. So, we still set it up secretly. The result? After Xiao Yi rebelled, the plan he made was not to attack the imperial city, the palace city, not to take over the army, but really to slaughter civilians, why is this? ”

"If it's because of the curse of the Dutian Twelve Formations on the children of the royal family. When he rebelled, Mingyue and King Qin had already destroyed the division of Ba Province? ”

"That's fate. It was caused by his natural crippled character. Moreover, whether the child is good or not depends on a large part of the mother's condition? After the abolition of the Yang family for so many years, he controlled the harem and killed the palace concubines and royal descendants. also connived at the perverse behavior of his cousin Yang family. What have they done over the years? The floods in Jiangnan are so serious, the court is frugal and helps the people, but what about the Yang family? What did Xiao Yi and the Yang family do after the abolition? ”

"They colluded with officials, grain merchants, and prominent families in the four provinces south of the Yangtze River to manipulate grain prices, embezzle the imperial court's silver, give grain, and exploit the people. Can such a mother raise a good son? ”

Emperor Changping sighed and said, "Xiao Yi's matter, it is true that I also have a lot of responsibility. Back then, I had no children for many years, there was only one Xiao Yi, and even before Xiao Yi was a teenager, there were only princesses in the palace, and there was no prince. There is no way, I want to stabilize the imperial line, I need a son, I need an heir, so even if the national teacher repeatedly says that Xiao Yi is not good enough to be the prince, I still insist on going my own way and forcibly set up Xiao Yi as the prince. ”

"When the Yang family was in my succession, they made a great effort, and the Yang family also gave me a lot of help back then. After I got this world, it was normal to treat them well. Who would have thought that later, they would be so greedy and have antipathy? I was really wrong about this. ”

Shen Guoshi snorted coldly. Although the emperor is extremely majestic, Shen Guoshi has gone through three dynasties and is almost a Jiazi in the position of national teacher. Emperor Changping was supported by him. Therefore, he did not have the slightest scruples in front of Emperor Changping.

Seeing Shen Guoshi's appearance, Emperor Changping smiled bitterly and said, "Now, the chaos has been set right, and the forces of Xiao Yi and the Yang family have been cleared. In the harem, the Yang family was also abolished by me and entered the cold palace, and now everything in the palace is handed over to Concubine Li Xian to manage, and the entire harem is not in order? ”

Shen Guoshi was about to be laughed at angrily. In the harem, a total of three concubines were pregnant, one had a miscarriage, and two gave birth to the prince smoothly, but which of the two concubines was not frightened? Which is not walking on thin ice? Xiao Ruiren hasn't come back yet, so he has already sent someone into the palace, so that he can serve his own mother Concubine Liniang, as well as his younger brother, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince? With such a harem, Emperor Changping still has the face to say that it is well organized? This Concubine Li Xian really has the means.

Besides, in the previous dynasty, the position of the court and government was vacant, and those courtiers with both ability and political integrity took the position? No, it is still the family, the Li family, the Song family and other Xiao Xi's people who occupy the high position. Are there any differences between these people and Xiao Yi's people, one on the table and the other on the ground? As a result, does cleaning Xiao Yi's connections work?

Seeing Shen Guoshi's appearance, Emperor Changping also knew, and couldn't help but sneer: "Of course, the previous dynasty still hasn't straightened out." There is no way, even if I am the emperor, this world is not something I can say. This world, after all, depends on the courtiers to govern with me. When the water is clear, there are no fish, this truth, the national teacher must also understand. ”

"It's just that now I have a problem. It's the question of this heir. In an empire, if the prince is unstable, the government is unstable, the people are panicked, the officials are useless, and the people are unmanaged. Soon the world will be in chaos. Therefore, it is imperative that I need an heir to calm people's hearts. However, I currently only have three sons, needless to say, the eldest has been imprisoned, and the second one, the national teacher, has also seen it. Although everyone says that he is a good king. Where is he wise? It's just jumping up and down and forming gangs. I can't do any work at all, and I am nepotistic. Don't say that the national teacher told me, what happened to Mingyue's previous life, if this second child takes the throne in the future, I'm afraid that my Great Zhou will be ruined. Just don't talk about this, looking at his performance today, it is not a person's material. ”

"My third son, Xiao Rui, has both ability and political integrity, and has a great relationship with Mingyue. In the future, if he ascends the throne, the world will definitely be stable. However, he actually broke through the Martial Sect. Although it is a great thing for a child of the royal family to break through the Martial Sect, but in the current situation, it is a bad thing for him to break through the Martial Sect. In the world, who can tolerate a long-lived Wu Zong as an emperor? ”

Emperor Changping had a sad look on his face: "This matter has annoyed me." The ministers of the court, who have experienced Xiao Yi's affairs, are all in shock, and now they don't set the prince, where do they have the heart to manage the people, where do they have the heart to manage the government? Now it's an eventful time again. The political situation in Daxia has stabilized, and Dashang is also going to have a war with us, and Dayu is also eyeing us. At this time, we are unstable, what should we do? Hey, I'm all scared to death, so I asked the national teacher to come into the palace to discuss. ”

Shen Guoshi said with a smile: "Xiao Rui is indeed a good candidate. Look at your princes, the boss is plotting to rebel and disregard people's lives. The second child jumped up and down, just forming a gang, and didn't do anything practical. Only Xiao Rui, Ba Province, and also Hu Province and River Province also investigated. It laid the foundation for the emperor to rectify the rule of officials in the future. also made such a great contribution to Mingyue, broke the five divisions, rescued the people and rescued the royal family. With such a big credit, he didn't make a name for himself at all, and he didn't invite credit at all. Not good? ”

Emperor Changping smiled bitterly: "I also think he is the best." The national teacher should not think that I am confused. I know it in my heart. What the national teacher just said is not wrong at all. If the mother is not good, it is difficult for the child to have a good one. The reason why Xiao Yi looks like this has a lot to do with the Yang family. Similarly, is Concubine Li Xian really virtuous? I also know what the Li family and Concubine Li Xian have done over the years. Compared with them, Concubine Li and Concubine Li's maiden family, the Fang family, are really virtuous and virtuous, low-key and peaceful. With such a concubine, can Xiao Rui be good? ”

"But, no matter how good Xiao Rui is? He has already achieved the Martial Sect, how can he inherit my throne? ”

Shen Guoshi smiled mysteriously and said: "Since the emperor also thinks that Concubine Li is good, and the prince born to Concubine Li is good, why is the emperor still worried about the succession to the throne?" ”

Emperor Changping was stunned. He thought of the connotation of Shen Guoshi's words.
