Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hints
Emperor Changping was stunned for a long time, and Shen Guoshi didn't speak, just sat there and drank tea leisurely. This Gozen tea is really the best. It's that the tea leaves in the star building are a little bit worse than this thought.
In the middle of the ring, Emperor Changping stammered and said to Shen Guoshi: "What does the national teacher mean, the fourth prince Xiao Kun? ”
Shen Guoshi leisurely put down the Doucai tea bowl and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it possible? Xiao Kun was of noble birth, and his mother was one of the four concubines. This is the highest birth among the princes. Because there is no queen at the moment. He, Xiao Rui, and Xiao Xi are all from the imperial concubine, and they have the same status. However, what is the temperament of Xiao Xi's mother? Whether it can be the mother of the world, the emperor also knows. But Concubine Li is gentle and virtuous, kind and intelligent, and has a very motherly demeanor. Concubine Li Xian's maiden family, the Li family, jumped up and down in the imperial court. However, what about Concubine Li's maiden family? Always obey the law and have low dispatch days. ”
In this regard, Xiao Kun is stronger than Xiao Xi. Besides, Xiao Xi is virtuous on the outside, but confused on the inside. Xiao Kun still has a strong plasticity. As long as the emperor is more distracted to teach in the future, and his mother is also virtuous and virtuous. Can you still teach him to be a prince as good as Xiao Rui? ”
These words made Emperor Changping's eyes light up: "What the national teacher said is too right. In the future, Kun'er will be taught by me personally, coupled with his mother's peaceful family and virtuous mother, he will definitely grow up very well. At least as good as Ruil. That's great. Well, no, national teacher, Kun'er is good, but Kun'er is just a little baby now, and it's ridiculous to set up a baby as the prince, right? ”
"The officials can't agree. Whether a baby who is still swaddling will grow up in the future, and whether it will grow up to be virtuous, who knows? Even if he could grow up smoothly, by the time he grew up, I guess I would be gone for a long time. How can I protect him? The young emperor is a taboo in the country? With no one to support him, isn't this throne stormy? The country will also follow the wind and rain. ”
Shen Guoshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are a fan of the authorities. The fourth prince is too young. But is he not there anyone who supports him? Has the emperor forgotten that there is one thing that the four princes can't compare to the two princes. That is, the fourth prince has an elder brother of Wuzong. ”
The emperor suddenly said, "Yes, how did I forget this." In history, whenever there was a Wuzong in the royal family, Wuzong's brothers must have been emperors. If not, then the world is in chaos. ”
Everyone knows how destructive a martial sect is. In the royal family, if there is a martial artist. Wuzong can't be the emperor, and the one who is the emperor must be his brother-in-law. If it was another brother ascending the throne, could this martial arts sect agree? If Wu Zong doesn't agree, what kind of disaster will it be? Those emperors who ascended the throne without agreeing to Wuzong can sit on the throne?
The emperor smiled and said, "In the royal family of all dynasties, there are too few children who have become martial arts. Not only Da Zhou, but also Da Xia, Da Yu, and Da Shang, there are not many disciples of the prince who learn martial arts, and there are even fewer who can achieve martial arts, so I forgot about it for a while. The national teacher reminded me very much. ”
"Rui'er has achieved the Martial Sect, then this world is destined to be only Kun'er's. There's nothing to argue about anymore. ”
Shen Guoshi drank tea leisurely.
However, over there, the emperor was a little confused and asked, "That, national teacher, may I ask, how should I tell the courtiers about this kind of thing?" This kind of thing has always been recorded in the secret files of the palace in the past dynasties, and the courtiers know about it, but there are not many. Although I have decided to let Kun'er inherit the throne in the future, Kun'er is still too young after all. I was forced by the courtiers to have no way in front of me, how can I solve this problem? ”
Shen Guoshi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that your courtiers are all fools? On the contrary, they are all the essence of scholars, and they are all the elite of thousands of scholars. They know how to look at the height of their eyebrows best. Your Majesty, you just need to declare to the outside world that you will not be able to decide the candidate for the crown prince for the time being. Because the selection of the crown prince is not only decided by the courtiers and the emperor, the royal family, but also by us to pick up the star building divination. Wouldn't it be okay to push the problem to the Star Picking Building? Do they dare to come to the Star Picking Tower? ”
The emperor said: "This method, before, I thought like this, so I asked the national teacher to come and discuss." However, in this way, the ministers will not be annoyed. They don't dare to bother you. But, after all, if the prince is uncertain, their hearts will be unstable for a day. When you do things, you don't dare to do your best. For a long time, it has been very bad for the government. ”
Shen Guoshi said: "This is not simple. It's not that the emperor really doesn't appoint a prince, it's just that he has to postpone it for a few years. When Prince Kun reaches the age of three, he can make a prince. Before, when Xiao Yi became the crown prince, he was only five years old. ”
The emperor nodded and said, "However, the past three years have also been sad." ”
Shen Guoshi said: "The emperor has not set up a prince in the past three years, but you can hint at the courtiers, and it can be regarded as suppressing Xiao Xi who jumps up and down." ”
The emperor hurriedly asked, "How do you hint?" How to suppress it? ”
Shen Guoshi said: "Your Majesty, now the throne of the crown prince is not just hanging in the Great Zhou, right? Is the queen of the middle palace also empty? ”
The emperor said, "I am so old, do I still want to marry my successor?" Forget it, so be it. There are already a lot of concubines in the harem, and Concubine Li Xian's management of palace affairs is also good, so forget it. Why do you still have a queen? ”
After speaking, the emperor saw Shen Guoshi looking at him with a smile, and suddenly Emperor Changping woke up: "Ah, I understand." What does the national teacher mean, Lili Concubine as the queen? Well, Concubine Li became the queen, and Rui'er and Kun'er were sisters-in-law. First of all, this identity overwhelms Xi'er. This is to suppress him. When the courtiers saw that there were already two sons-in-law, they naturally knew that the future prince must be born between the two sons-in-law, so it naturally stopped. That's a good idea. This is not to establish a prince, but it hints at the world, who will be the prince in the future. It can also provide an orthodox basis for Kun'er's accession to the throne in the future. ”
"Well, the idea of the national teacher is really good. Well, but, I still have a problem. ”
Shen Guoshi is getting impatient, how did this Emperor Changping become a problem baby?
The emperor was still unconscious, so he asked: "National teacher, although Concubine Li is good in everything, virtuous and gentle, kind and gentle, but she is too gentle, managing the harem, just being gentle is not enough, and she still needs to be decided." A person like her who is made of water can manage this big harem? ”
Shen Guoshi was about to be laughed at, Emperor Changping was a Ming monarch, but he knew too little about the women in his harem.
