Chapter 481: The Prince's Throne (Eighth Shift)
If Empress Dowager Zhang denies it outright, or blames all the notoriety on Gu Dayong, the big deal is that this matter is so stiff, and Empress Dowager Zhang really wants to perfunctory the past, in fact, it is not a big deal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Empress Dowager Zhang's sentence was taken by someone who mourned her family, which is serious.
Harem politics!
What's more, it's still such a bad interference!
The ministers present all looked at each other, and even Li Dongyang and Xie Qian couldn't sit still, how could this be? The imperial court has its own laws of the imperial court, and if today's words are spread, how serious is this?
I have only heard that there are ministers and eunuchs in the country, in short, there are bad people in the palace. But the problem is that these bad people are naturally the concubines of those foxy emperors, and they are those damned eunuchs, but now they are good, the dignity of the queen mother, the wife of the first emperor, this ......
Even Jiao Fang's face froze for a moment, the calmness he showed was deceptive, although Jiao Fang had many sons, but only Jiao Huangzhong had a chance, Jiao Huangzhong is now a Jinshi, and has his own care, ten or twenty years of cultivation, he will definitely be able to take over his own class in the future, even if he can't enter the cabinet in the future, but a Shangshu and a squire or a feudal official can't escape.
As soon as he heard that Jiao Huangzhong was taken, Jiao Fang was more anxious than anyone else, but he still had to be calm, because he knew very well that his son was a Shujishi and a clear stream, and the cabinet ministers would definitely fight for it, and it was absolutely impossible to sit back and watch this happen, since this is the case, then let Liu Jian make the first bird.
Don't you people want to be loyal ministers? Then do it yourself.
But now that the Queen Mother directly admitted the matter, instead of making Jiao Fang feel relaxed, she suddenly gave birth to a bad idea.
The Queen Mother...... Don't you care about the impact of this in the slightest? Not at all afraid......
He chuckled suddenly in his heart, raised his eyes, and saw that Xie Qian and Li Dongyang had already left their seats, and together with Liu Jian, they all bowed to the ground, Liu Jian was about to make a generous statement, Chen said the stakes of this matter, and showed his dissatisfaction with the behavior in the palace, but the Empress Dowager Zhang's face was still pretty, but a trace of weirdness suddenly rose: "What the mourning family wants to say to you now is not scorched, but related to the well-being of the country, you know, you know that you are entangled in this kind of detail, do you still want the prince?" ”
Be quiet......
All of a sudden, the whole temple fell silent.
Liu Jian, who was about to open his mouth, couldn't close his mouth a little, but he couldn't make a sound.
Not only him, but the hall was silent, as if even his breathing had stopped.
Prince......
Oh, yes......
That Ye Chunqiu is very concerned about the prince's problem, that is because this prince is closely related to him, he serves in the Zhan Mansion, but for the vast majority of the princes here, what is the prince? The prince is the prince, the prince is the hope, and the prince is the future.
A kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day, but the king will grow old, so who will succeed him?
Anyone knows that the absence of a child in the sky is a great bad thing for the country, because there is no prince, the prince is unknown, it is easy to fight, the vassal kings will covet, many ministers for their own selfish interests, began to secretly collude with the clan, just because there is no prince, so the people will worry, worried that it may cause turmoil at any time, because once the handover cannot be smooth, can not predict the bad situation that is very likely to occur in the future, no one can rest assured, no one can pat their chests and say, there is no prince in this world, What does it have to do with me.
This is in terms of righteousness.
And what about self-interest?
Why do almost all the important ministers want the emperor to have a prince who is rightfully promising?
This is because they are in the temple today, and they have the prince today, so they don't have to hang their hearts in their hearts, the Ming Dynasty has a special appointment system, which is specially used to ensure the transfer of imperial power, in this system, the emperor often entitles the ministers close to him as the prince's teacher, such as Liu Jian, when the first emperor was there, he served as the prince's concubine, such as Li Dongyang, who served as the prince's young master, and was once named the prince's young guard, it seems that this is just an honorary position, Zhu Houzhao's mentor is actually Wang Hua, But because of this relationship, they became Zhu Houzhao's master, although they were busy with national affairs most of the time, but every once in a while, they would also go to give lessons to the prince, this kind of exchange is essentially just a communication of feelings.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, and the three of them were auxiliary ministers, and Zhu Houzhao wanted to call them a master, although he often regarded their words as wind in his ears, but he would not go too far.
One day, if Zhu Houzhao also has a son, what if the Ming Dynasty has a prince again? Then they will still fulfill the responsibility of tutoring the prince, even after five or six years, they are gone, they retired, nominally, they still have titles such as prince and young master, and they are still the teachers of the new prince.
What does this mean? It means that even if you pass away, your children and grandchildren can still maintain a good relationship with the new Son of Heaven, which is a kind of inheritance and a continuation.
Without the prince, the country may be in turmoil, without the prince, the princes here may have regrets in the future, just like today, if Liu Jian is dead, then Zhu Houzhao will definitely give him great grief, why? Because Liu Jian was Zhu Houzhao's nominal teacher; But what if the first emperor of Hongzhi had no children, and the new emperor was a vassal king? Scold...... Then it means that once a son of heaven and a courtier, who knows you?
This is the system of the Ming Dynasty, this system maintains the intimate relationship between the minister and the Son of Heaven and the Prince, so that they can assist the Son of Heaven and the Prince without worries, and it is precisely because of this system that the new Son of Heaven ascends the throne, and can still appoint the old people left by the previous emperor and give them enough trust.
And in this Zhengde Dynasty, the real concern is the problem of the crown prince.
The emperor has no children, and having no children means that there are huge loopholes in this system, and once the Son of Heaven dies, then it is very likely that all the people who are extremely human will be involved in an unpredictable change, which is by no means what everyone wants to see.
Liu Jian had been sleepless at night because of this incident, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian had also mentioned this matter and sighed worriedly.
And now, Empress Dowager Zhang asked them very firmly: "Do you still want the crown prince ......?"
Many thoughts flashed through Liu Jian's heart, and Liu Jian's body trembled and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang in shock.
Empress Dowager Zhang also looked directly at him, as if she could see through the thoughts of the person in front of her!
