Chapter 697: Prince Chitose
On the contrary, for any emperor, it is a heinous crime, but there is no doubt about this.
It can be that each emperor's attitude towards rebellion is often different, but on the contrary, the personalities of the Ming emperors of the three dynasties in modern times are very different, and the methods of dealing with this kind of thing will most likely be very different. If it was Emperor Hongzhi, most likely he would be worried, and then what? Then he must issue an edict to punish himself and severely punish the rebels. But if you change Zhengde, most of this guy will jump three feet high, and after waiting for so long, what you want is for you to rebel and make trouble, and if you don't make a little trouble, the life of Emperor Lao Tzu is not very good
As for Jiajingγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» this time it can be said that his heart hurts, because this rebellion made him despair of the so-called immortal immortal immortal elder, which made his values completely change, and of course, it also aroused the last trace of anger that he suppressed in his heart.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
"From now on, all eunuchs, guards, and ministers involved in this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and all those involved in this matter shall be put to death. Everyone, no one has to stay, but γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Jiajing glanced at Xu Qian deeply, and said lightly: "You have enough trouble now, and there are too many criticisms in the world, I won't let you do this, let Huang Jin come, he is also very good at killing people." β
After a pause, Jiajing said again: "My body is not complete, and I don't know how long I can live, although it has not yet reached the point of arranging the future, but I will really try to make some arrangements, you don't have to worry about anything, I will ensure that you don't have to worry." β
When he said this, Jiajing seemed to have made up his mind.
He is not a gullible person, in this world, he doubts his relatives, his courtiers, the nobles and eunuchs in the palace, everyone is within the scope of his suspicion. Mean and unkind, this is the true portrayal of Emperor Jiajing, and now, this character is even more vivid, but there are two people in this world, but now they are classified as the people that Jiajing absolutely trusts, one is the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the other is Xu Qian.
He felt that his body had deteriorated to the extreme, and taking the immortal medicine for a long time had already made him a little weak in his body, plus Zhang Tianshi had added a few more chronic poisons to the immortal medicine some time ago, and in less than a month, his whole body collapsed, although it had not yet reached the point of death, but Jiajing was self-aware, so he already had the idea of preparing for the future.
Xu Qian sighed, looked at the terminally ill Jiajing, and just shook his head in his heart.
I don't dare to be ruthless and ruthless, but the truth in this world is always like this, no matter how heinous a person is, there is always a gentle side, such as Jiang Bin, although everyone hates him, but if he is Jiang Bin's nephew or relative, most of them think that Vice General Jiang is a kind and good person.
For Xu Qian, that's the case, Jiajing is an out-and-out good person, a good emperor, he fully supports his new policy, paving many roads for himself, several times Xu Qian was attacked, and the new policy suffered setbacks, it was Jiajing who took care of him.
People's perspectives and visions are different, and the angles of looking at problems are naturally different, perhaps others see the most ferocious side of Jiajing, but what Xu Qian sees is the most human side of Jiajing.
Jiajing saw that Xu Qian was silent, but comforted him: "You don't have to worry about me, I am still okay for the time being, let's call the officials." β
Xu Qian nodded, turned around, and then, there were many ministers who were escorting the driver, led by Yang Tinghe, and everyone saluted together, saying: "Wechen has seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, Wechen is late to save the driver, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." β
Jiajing's face showed a little smile, these people's so-called rescue, with Jiajing's guess, you can know what is going on, but now, he is not interested in piercing this, and said with a slight smile: "Very good, you have worked hard, I am safe for the time being, you don't have to be afraid." β
After some understatement, Jiajing said again: "I summoned you here for two things, let's just explain it here today." β
In fact, before coming, everyone had guessed what Jiajing would be, or what thoughts he would have, but it was obvious that everyone had miscalculated, because Jiajing was not as angry as they imagined, nor as scared as they imagined, but a very calm attitude, as if nothing had happened.
In addition, it is mentioned that there are two things to talk about, which makes people feel even more weird, it stands to reason that in the face of such a big change, the organization of His Majesty is still so clear.
Mo said that it was someone else, even Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be a little impressed by Jiajing at this time, but his face was expressionless, and he didn't show anything inappropriate, but he was thinking in his heart, is Your Majesty going to prepare to support Gu?
But I heard Jiajing say: "This first thing is the matter of the crown prince, the country cannot be without a prince for a day, nor can it be without a prince for a day, the prince is related to the continuation of the society, which should not be underestimated, especially this palace change, let me understand that people have good fortune and misfortune, if something really happens to me today, what will the court do?" What about the country? What should I do with the foundation of my ancestors, so I thought about it, although the prince Zhu Zaiji is still in his infancy, he has been ordered by me to be the crown prince, what do you think? β
Establish a prince......
Many ministers had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.
For ministers, there are several red lines that cannot be touched, one of which is the succession system. One of the most important aspects of this system is that it is to establish a successor to be long, what is long? is the oldest, what is the concubine, that is, born in the main palace, in layman's terms, the crown prince must be the first child of the queen of the main palace, whether you like it or not, or how stubborn and hateful this person is, but in order to ensure the smooth succession of the regime, this person is a fool, and he has to be the emperor.
Many emperors have bypassed this system and set up their favorite princes, such as Emperor Wen Zhu Di, he wanted to set up a young son, but soon, he was strongly opposed by the ministers, even people like Zhu Di can't touch this red line, it can be seen how difficult it is, since then, many emperors have moved this idea, but most of them ended up without a problem, that is, the famous Wan Guifei, when she was powerful, she wanted to change the prince, but there was no way at all, and she had to make compromises to the hundred officials.
And now, Jiajing in the name of people have good fortune and misfortune, asking the emperor's eldest son Zhu Zaiji to be the crown prince, Jiajing now does only have one son, and this son is not born to the queen, logically speaking, this is just a concubine, according to the system of etiquette, it is impossible for a concubine to have the right to inherit, the royal family is like this, it is an ordinary people's family, the same is true, the son of a concubine, can he get the inheritance of the family property? If so, if someone follows suit, won't it be chaotic?
Almost the first thought on everyone's mind was to oppose it.
Nonsense, it's just nonsense, although the queen has no son now, but sooner or later there will be a son in the future, Zhu Zaiji is certainly the respect of the prince and the eldest son, but how can he be the crown prince, if one day, the queen mother gives birth to a son, what should I do? Then the eldest son of this righteous son has to be subservient to the concubine?
Everyone's face was ugly, and many people suddenly realized that this was a major issue of right and wrong, and they could not agree.
Moreover, many people have doubts in their hearts, this day is fine, the first time did not mean to eradicate the traitorous party, why did he make up his mind on the establishment of the prince, could it be γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Many people saw that Jiajing's face was not very good, but their attitude was resolute, they could recuperate if they were not in good health, and their eldest son could not be reborn, but now they hastily established Zhu Zaiji, the eldest son of the emperor, as the crown prince, but it was a great violation of the guidelines, and if anyone agreed at this time, they would be left with a stench for 10,000 years.
Yang Tinghe said lightly: "What His Majesty said is not unreasonable, but His Royal Highness the prince was born to a noble concubine, not the main palace. β
Jiajing's attitude had an indescribable resoluteness, and he said coldly: "My mind has been decided, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, I said it very clearly, now is an extraordinary time, naturally it cannot be done with common sense." β
Yang Tinghe bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter involves Gangchang ethics, and the old minister never dares to agree." β
When he knelt down, he immediately knelt down a group of ministers, and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty." β
Earlier, Jiajing had ordered someone to bring Zhu Zaiji over, so at this time, a nurse personally brought Zhu Zaiji, Zhu Zaiji was only half a year old, and as soon as he came in, he felt the atmosphere of Yan SΓΉ, and he was so frightened that he cried.
Jiajing waved at the nurse and said, "Bring it to me." β
The prince hugged Jiajing, Jiajing glanced at Zhu Zaiji deeply, and said: "He is also my flesh and blood, flesh and blood, isn't there also a thin and thick difference?" β
Zhu Zaiji seemed to feel Jiajing's strong love, immediately stopped crying, looked Jiajing up and down, Jiajing pursed his lips slightly, and said: "When I ascended the throne, my father wanted to build a temple, but Zhu Qing refused to agree, and now I want to make my son the crown prince, and Zhu Qing refuses to agree. β
Xu Qian's heart moved at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to see His Royal Highness the Great Prince." β
Jiajing nodded.
The nurse hugged Zhu Zaiji and came to Xu Qian, Xu Qian looked at it and said, "I see that His Royal Highness the prince has the appearance of great fortune, and he must be a virtuous monarch on another day." β
After that, he didn't say a word, bowed to the ground, kowtowed to Zhu Zaiji and bowed: "Weichen Xu Qian, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the Prince is a thousand years old!" β
