On the Fengtian Palace, Sun Wu, Fan Li, Wu Zixu, Wen Chong and other ministers looked at the disputed ministers of the local faction of Wu State, as well as the ministers of the Yue faction and the Confucian faction.

They are all looking at the nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart, which is very natural.

As the saying goes, it's none of your business, hang high.

In the court of Wu, there were four major factions, namely Wu, Chu, Qi, and Yue.

Don't look at Fan Li and Wu Zixu from the Chu faction, they will not actually participate in this kind of dispute between the concubines.

Why?

Because the sons they support are not in this dispute between the concubines.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the crown prince of Wu will be produced in Gongzi Hong and Gongzi Heng.

In that case, why should they get involved?

"Enough!"

Seeing that in the huge court, all the ministers and doctors were arguing into a pot of porridge without grace, Qingji immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Don't say a word!" ”

“……”

Qingji's speech, Kong Qiu, Deng Xi, Gou Jian and others, who were still arguing, kept silent and fell silent.

"Ji Ran, you say. Gongzi Heng and Gongzi Hong, who can be the prince? ”

Keiji set his eyes on Dazai Jiran.

As the Dazai of the Wu State, Ji Ran is the head of the hundred officials, and he has great power to speak.

It's just that Ji Ran was born in the Song Kingdom and once lived in Chu for a long time, so he stayed out of the matter and didn't get involved.

Now, since Qingji asked, how could Ji Ran not speak?

Ji Ran thought secretly for a moment, and then replied: "The king, the minister thinks that Gongzi Heng is the eldest son of the king, Yunwen Yunwu, the brave champion of the three armies, can govern the army and the country, and can be a great responsibility." ”

"Although Gongzihong is a concubine, he is also benevolent and loves the people, filial piety to his parents, loves his brothers, and has the capacity to tolerate people. It can also be a big responsibility! ”

Slick!

Qingji couldn't help but secretly laugh and scold.

Ji Ran, do you really think you can stay out of it?

No way!

Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "Dazai, in your opinion, Gongzi Heng and Gongzi Hong's talents and virtues, which is better or worse?" ”

"This ...... Naturally, Gongzi Hong is slightly better. ”

Ji Ran lowered his head and admitted it very embarrassed.

In fact, Gongzihong's talent and conduct, the government and the opposition of Wu State, have long been well known.

Gongzi Heng is indeed inferior to Gongzi Hong in terms of morality.

At least the fame is not as good.

However, the position of the prince does not mean that you can do it with excellent political integrity.

"In this way, do you recognize Gongzihong as the prince?"

"This ......"

Ji Ran wanted to speak and stopped.

In the huge court, the eyes of more than 200 ministers all converged on Ji Ran's body.

It's like a hot potato.

Ji Ran was like sitting on pins and needles for a while, restless.

After a while, Ji Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Qingji and said, "King, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"In the past, King Zhou You listened to the slander of the favored concubine Bao Xi, abolished the queen Shen and the crown prince Yijiu, established Bao Xi as the queen, and established the son of Bao Xi Bofu as the crown prince......"

Ji Ran stubbornly said: "King Zhou You loves Bao Xi, abolish the elder and the young, and abolish the heir, so that there is chaos, and the king should take it as a warning." ”

"Good!"

Before he could speak, Deng Xi, the middle of the imperial history, said: "King, what Dazai said is extremely true!" ”

"Not to mention the story of King Zhou You, the rebellion of the prince dynasty in the past, so far, it has only been more than 20 years, and it is vivid!"

"At that time, King Zhou Jing Chu established his eldest son Ji Meng as the crown prince, however, the prince Meng was cowardly by nature and lacked prestige. However, the eldest son of the prince, has courage and resourcefulness, and has the demeanor of a king. ”

"King Zhou Jing wanted to abolish the prince and set up the prince as the crown prince, but the minister Shan Qi and others tried their best to oppose it, thinking that the abolition of the prince was a major event of the country, and the throne was passed on to the heirs."

"King Zhou Jing fell ill before the edict was issued, and he knew that he would die, so he took the doctor Bin Meng as the minister of care, and the edict was passed on to the prince's dynasty. and King Jing collapsed, the two kings of the east and west of the Zhou room stood side by side, and there were many years of chaos! ”

"King!"

After a pause, Deng Xi had a sad expression again, and said: "The princes compete for favor to win the heir, and the ministers regard the abolition as child's play, which is the bane of the country's civil strife!" ”

"Please take this as a warning!"

Murderous heart?

The rebellion of the prince's dynasty proposed by Deng Xi can be described as a bloody example and a painful lesson for the Zhou royal family.

How similar?

Qingji is like the former King of Zhou Jing, Gongzi Heng is for the prince Meng, and Gongzi Hong is for the prince dynasty.

However, it is not the same.

After all, Gongzi Heng's ability is exceptionally good, and it is not comparable to Gongzi Meng.

Moreover, the forces behind Gongzi Heng are the factions of the Yue Kingdom, and they have the natural advantage of being a descendant, and this position can be said to be relatively stable.

However, Gongzihong is also not bad.

The forces behind Gongzihong are the ministers of the old clan in Wu State, as well as the Confucian doctors led by Kong Qiu.

"Soldier, what do you think?"

Qingji decided to ask Wu Zixu's opinion.

After all, Wu Zixu is now the big Sima, with a high position and a lot of power.

Especially in the army, Wu Zixu has a greater right to speak!

Hearing Qingji's question, Wu Zixu replied without thinking: "The king, the minister thinks that he should be a son!" ”

"The ancient Yin Shang, since the Zhongding, abolished the heirs and set up more disciples, and the disciples may compete to stand on their behalf, resulting in the situation of 'more chaotic than the ninth world' and 'the princes of the Mo Dynasty'."

Install the latest version. 】

"In the later period of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the brother-to-brother and the system was replaced by the father-son inheritance system."

"For example, Emperor Yi's eldest son Weizi Qi was born in Wei, and he was named a viscount, and his name was Qi."

"Because Qi's mother is weak and not in the main palace, although Qi is the eldest son, he cannot inherit the throne."

"Emperor Yi's youngest son Xin (i.e., King Xuan), because his mother is the main palace and is a descendant, inherited the throne of Yin Shang......"

"The new king of my Wu country must be a virtuous monarch who can carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, so it is more appropriate to establish Gongzihong."

In fact, Wu Zixu also has some selfish motives.

Whether it is Gongzi Heng or Gongzi Hong, in Wu Zixu's view, they are more suitable to take on the big responsibility and become the prince of Wu State.

It's just that Gongzi Heng is determined to forge ahead, and Gongzi Hong is good at defending the territory and opening up the territory.

As a generation of famous generals, Wu Zixu is naturally more optimistic about Gongzi Heng.

It's just that Qingji asked Wu Zixu for advice, does he really care about Wu Zixu's opinion?

No.

Qingji is just testing whether Wu Zixu has selflessness.

Wu Zixu put forward Wei Ziqi and Di Xin as examples, what is his intention?

is vaguely telling Qingji.

Weizi Qi is the eldest son of Emperor Yi, benevolent and virtuous, able to bend and stretch, and may be more suitable to serve as the emperor of Yin Shang than his sister-in-law Di Xin.

Wu Zixu is retreating as advancing!

The other way around!

Who is this micro child?

He is the cousin of the king of Shang, the sixteenth grandson of Shang Tang, and the ancestor of the Song Kingdom.

In addition, Wei Ziqi is also the ancestor of the surname Shi.

In the past, the king of Su was desolate, and Wei Zi Qi advised him several times, but the king did not listen, and Wei Zi turned to discuss with the Taishi and the young master how to face such a reality.

The Taishi and the Young Master proceeded from the future of the Yin nation and persuaded them to flee.
