In front of Qingji, Ji Za commented on the character and talent of the princes one by one, both good and bad.

However, all of them are reminding Qingji.

Most of the princes of Wu are careerists, and it is very likely that they will cause trouble in the future and carry out a tragic battle for succession.

As the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each is different.

Qingji is very pleased that his sons are so good.

However, there is a good side to this kind of thing, and there is a bad side.

For example, Qingji hopes that all his sons can become the pillars of the Wu Kingdom, and they can be like Ji Zha, dedicating themselves to assisting themselves and their successors.

But things often backfire.

With so many outstanding sons, no one must be convinced.

The tragedy that led to the end, Qingji knows it with his ass!

is like the "nine sons seizing the heirs" that happened during the Kangxi period......

"What does my uncle mean?"

Qingji asked with squinted eyes.

Ji Za shook his head, lowered his hand towards Qingji and said, "King, the so-called loyalty is against the ear. For the sake of the king, and for the sake of the country of Wu, the old minister had to remind the king. ”

"Beware of the disaster of the 'Rebellion of the Five Princes' of the Qi Kingdom, which happened in my Wu Kingdom! How many years have passed since the Childe Light Rebellion, can the king forget? ”

Ji Za is reminding Qingji not to learn from Qi Huangong.

After the death of Duke Qi Huan in the past, the harem colluded with the eunuchs to take power, specializing in the power of the office, abolishing major affairs, and influencing the succession of the monarchy.

Previously, Gongzi was the eldest son and became the crown prince, but Duke Huan entrusted Gongzi Zhao to Song Xianggong as the choice of the prince.

Wei Gongji, the mother of Gongzi without loss, offered flattery to Duke Huan by bribing Yi Ya, and Duke Huan should admit that he was the prince without loss and did not abolish Gongzi Zhao for a long time, which caused confusion in the succession to the throne.

Not only the rebellion of the five princes of Qi, but also the vassal states of Wu, Song, Zheng and other vassal states, there have been civil strife caused by the unclear issue of the establishment of the prince, and the disaster caused by the Xiao Wall.

"Uncle, do you want to let the widow establish a prince?"

"Exactly."

Ji Za lowered his head and said: "Although the king is young and strong, and the spring and autumn period is in full bloom, however, he should also establish the position of the prince as soon as possible, stabilize the country, and dispel the princes' desire to seize the heir. ”

Among the ministers of the Wu State, only Ji Za dared to say such things in front of Qingji.

Yan is the father of the world, the deputy lord of the prince!

According to the rules of this era, if the son dies and has a younger brother of the same mother, he can be established as the son.

If not, you can set up the oldest son.

If the sons are the same age, they can choose the virtuous one; If the child's character is the same, it can be determined by divination, which is the way of the ancestors!

Qingji had never considered this issue before.

Because he is still young, and when he is standing, his body is so strong, it is impossible to die suddenly.

Therefore, Qingji can treat his sons equally, and there is no prince.

"Uncle thinks that if you want to establish a prince, who among the princes can do it?"

"Prince Heng."

“……”

Qingji was a little surprised.

His eldest son is Wu Heng, but at this time, he is far away in Chu as a proton, why would Ji Za recommend Wu Heng as a candidate for the prince?

"The king, the heirs are not virtuous, and the sons are not noble."

Ji Za said in a deep voice: "The Song people passed on the throne to their younger brothers, not their heirs, and the elder brother ended up with his younger brother, which eventually caused trouble. ”

"Just like the dream of my first king of Wu Guo, in order to pass on the throne to the old ministers, the system of succession between father and son that Wu has always adhered to has always been changed to the system of brother and brother, after all, the prince will plot against him and kill the king and usurp the throne!"

"The lessons of the past are vivid, please think twice!"

In the inheritance system of this era, the patriarchal system is still the traditional succession of father to son, rather than brother to brother.

Unless it is a last resort, such as when the king has no heirs, this can be justified in his own brother.

Otherwise, civil strife is likely to occur.

Like the Song Kingdom, Song Xuangong was seriously ill, and according to common sense, he should pass on the throne to his son Prince Heyi.

But he thought that as the master of Sheji, his son was inferior to his younger brother in ability, so he gave up the position of monarch to his younger brother, and his younger brother ascended the throne, which was the historical Song Mugong.

Song Mugong returned the throne to his brother's son and Yi on his deathbed, for Song Mugong.

However, after Song Mugong's son, Gongzi Feng, fled to Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo started to think crookedly.

After that, Wei Guozhou called for the killing of the monarch and urgently needed a foreign war to divert the attention of the people, so he saw the Song State's mind and wanted to cater to the Song State to unite the princes to attack Zheng State.

Therefore, the four kingdoms of Song, Wei, Chen, and Cai went to attack Zheng State, but they came to the outskirts of Zheng State's capital and were trapped for five days before withdrawing their troops.

In the historical Song Kingdom, because of the inheritance system of the elder brother and the younger brother, the "Rebellion of the Ten Generations" was caused, which can be described as harmful.

There is a reason why the Song State was able to implement the inheritance system of brother to brother, and the founding king of the Song State was Weizi, and Weizi was a descendant of the Shang Dynasty.

It stands to reason that the primogeniture inheritance system was already a common system in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the Song State, as a remnant of the Shang Dynasty, still retained the ancient inheritance system.

At this time, Qingji heard Ji Zha's words, and did not answer immediately, but pondered for a long time.

"Uncle, the matter of establishing a reserve will be put on hold for the time being. It is a prerequisite to establish a successor, but it cannot be ignored to establish a virtuous person. ”

Qingji said slowly: "The widow expects that after all the princes have grown up, they will establish a prince." ”

"Alas!"

Seeing that Qingji's attitude was so tough, Ji Za did not persuade him again.

Anyway, the princes are still young and can't make much waves.

I just hope that Qingji himself will not have any moths.

……

Jinling, Shanglin Yuan.

This is the special hunting place of the Wu royal family, and in his spare time, Wu Wang Qingji will bring a group of ministers and doctors and their children to Shanglin Yuan to hunt.

In normal times, it is forbidden for idle people to enter the upper forest garden.

Only with Qingji's permission was he able to hunt in Shanglin Yuan.

There are a lot of prey here, including sika deer, elk, elephants, iron-eating beasts, bears, wild boars, etc., all kinds of prey, all kinds of prey, all kinds of variety, forming a recyclable ecosystem.

However, if the iron-eating beast is a rare animal in Wu Kingdom, it has been raised and entertained with delicious food and drink.

At this time, in order to show his importance to Zhao Ying and Shi Mimu, Qingji specially held a "spring search" and participated with the ministers and doctors of Wu and their children.

Hunting is one of the earliest livelihood skills mastered by human beings, with the development of human civilization, hunting has gradually taken on the multiple properties of entertainment, military and sports, and has become a collective comprehensive sport for martial arts training, physical fitness, invigorating spirits and seeking harvests.

The kings of this era, the four seasons of field hunting, were called spring hunting, summer seedlings, autumn hunting, and winter hunting, and the field hunting as a ritual was inherited by later rulers.

You must know that before the Warring States period, hunting was a military canon, a comprehensive exercise for military training.
