The country depends on the monarch, and it is the main thing to be safe.

The general's words were sincere.

He didn't want to make an immature emperor and become the one who controlled the emperor.

Because he doesn't feel that he has such a strong ability, he hopes that there will be an excellent, outstanding, like Emperor Xiaowu, who will lead them to conquer one peak after another and create one great cause after another.

People are very complex, and there is no conflict between the pursuit of power and loyalty to the country, Huo Guang, Zhuge Liang, Yu Qian, and Zhang Juzheng are all powerful ministers, but at the same time, they are all loyal ministers, at least loyal ministers loyal to Sheji.

The general is naturally inferior to these people, but he always remembers in his heart that he is a courtier of the Han Dynasty.

When the Marquis of Changping Wulie selected him as the successor of the general from among the princes, handed over the military meritorious group to him, and made him the sharpest sword of the Han Dynasty, he has always stood on the front line in the past ten years.

He considered himself a great loyalist.

At this critical moment of the Han Dynasty, even if he wanted to offend some people, he had to say that a young prince like the ninth son of the emperor could not be established.

It is necessary to choose a prince who has enough ability to control the social situation of the country.

In fact, as soon as his words came out, not only was the ninth son of the emperor at a disadvantage in the battle for the throne, but the seventh and eighth sons of the first emperor were at a disadvantage.

Because these two people have just been crowned, and the country is older than the king, these two princes and kings fell behind in an instant.

Sure enough, as soon as the general's words came out, Emperor Liu Jin didn't react, and many people in the palace frowned, and took a closer look at the in-laws of these three princes and kings.

Each prince and king had his own wife and mother.

Since the Bang Zhou era, there has always been an iron law, that is, whether the status of a son is noble or not, depends on whether the mother is noble or not.

Especially for politicians, the consequences of not having a strong matriarch are serious.

For example, Liu Ba, the sixth son of Emperor Xiaowu, was named King Wusun, and he knew that the feudal country was in the Western Regions when he heard this name.

Liu Ba's mother was not a noble daughter in the Central Plains, but Princess Loulan who was sent to Chang'an when Luo Wujian conquered the Western Regions, with the purpose of giving birth to a prince and king to come out to feudal the Western Regions.

After all, according to the political iron law that if there is a county in the Han Dynasty, there must be a princely state, and if there is a domain, there must be princes and kings, and it is really unreasonable for such a large territory in the Western Regions to be guarded without princes and kings.

Princess Loulan is of course noble in the Western Regions, but compared with the noble daughters of the Central Plains, her status is relatively low.

But this is not the case with other princes.

Before Liu Jin became seriously ill, the family that married the prince did not think of being a relative, after all, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, it has always been inherited in an orderly manner, and the big position has been in the hands of the descendants, and it has never been left behind.

But this does not mean that the princes and kings are not worthy of marriage, the county guard, the princes and the princes, this is the troika of local forces, I don't know how many powerful nobles want to tie up the princes and kings, and there are even the marriages between the chief officials of the counties and the princes and kings, as well as the marriages between the princes and the princes and kings.

It may not sound like a door-to-door pair, but the reality is that most people do.

The princes and kings can find out that the genealogy can not marry each other, but can only marry with the princes and those counties or courtiers, but I didn't expect that at this time, such a big event happened, and the throne was about to fall from the sky!

Doctor Yu Shi stepped forward directly and said, "Your Majesty! The minister objected to what the general said.

Could it be that Emperor Su was the eldest brother of King Wu of Zhou in the past?

Above Emperor Su, there were two brothers-in-law, but King Wu of Zhou skipped those two and chose Emperor Su.

This is because King Wu of Zhou saw the talent of Emperor Su.

The minister once heard that talents are always extraordinary from their youth, and the sage Lao Tzu once said that people who are not outstanding when they are young will make any progress because of their age? ”

The general glanced at the imperial historian when he heard this, the imperial historian didn't care, he was different from the prime minister, the prime minister was only named the marquis according to the rules of not being a marquis, and the background was too shallow, and although his family was not a top princely family, but now he gradually turned to a family of scholars, and now he is playing the classics, not dealing with the general's group of people, and he is not afraid of offending him.

The words of the imperial doctor openly opposed the general, which suddenly made the atmosphere in the hall warm, chaos is good, the more chaotic the better, the more chaotic the better, Liu Jin's eight princes and younger brothers, the probability of becoming the emperor is completely different.

But who said that if the probability is low, you can't be emperor?

The general wants to invite a capable prince and king to come to Chang'an, but many people don't think so, and the weak prince and king are easy to control!

Of course, Liu Jin understood this, and at this moment, his eyes became more complicated when he looked at the general, and asked with a little melancholy: "What did the imperial doctor say, what does the general think?" ”

The general immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's ridiculous.

The princes and kings succeeded to the unification, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and the hearts of the people in the world could not be stable in a short period of time, and the most important thing was to find mature and stable people who could make the world return to their hearts.

If someone with insufficient prestige is allowed to succeed to the throne, wouldn't this put the society of the Han Dynasty in the land of fireworks? ”

"Ahem."

Someone behind the general suddenly coughed twice, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much, and this time he offended most of the princes and kings.

Thinking of this, with the courage of the great general to dare to confront the emperor, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, he looked back at the princes, and found that nearly half of the people were slightly bowing their heads, as if they didn't want to get involved in this matter, or didn't support his actions.

The general turned his gaze to the emperor lying on the bed again, and saw that the emperor was still the same sick look, and there was a look of careful listening on his face, and after seeing that he didn't speak, he asked weakly: "General, why didn't you say it?" I think what you said is very reasonable, and the state should be handed over to those who have the ability and prestige. ”

At this time, everyone stopped talking, and even everyone lowered their heads and did not look at the emperor.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then everyone heard Emperor Liu Jin say in a hoarse and weak voice, "I have eight younger brothers.

The second brother, King Jiaodong, the queen is the daughter of the Jimo Lu clan, and has always had a reputation for kindness in Qidi, but his personality is a little weak, and I am very worried about him.

The third brother, King Beiyan, once fought against the Liaodong barbarians under the command of the champion Jinghuan Hou, and was good at martial arts, but his personality was a little violent, and I don't know if he was a good choice.

The fourth brother, the king of Henan, has never heard of his deeds in Henan County.

Fifth brother, it's really not a good thing, I abolished his kingdom with my own hands, and even the princes and kings can't do it well, how can I take on the great responsibility of the emperor?

King Wusun is guarding in the Western Regions, this is a law set by the first emperor, I can't violate it, and I don't think about it.

The seventh brother has the talent of Wenhua, and worships the great Confucianism in the sea as a teacher, but he is a little too upright and pedantic, and I am a little uneasy.

Although the eighth brother is crowned, he is still childish, too unstable, alas, I don't know what the world will look like in his hands.

Ninth brother, as the general said, the country is dependent on Changjun, after Emperor Xiaowen was crowned in the past, King Luowen returned to Emperor Xiaowen, and now I really want to put this heavy world in the hands of a child?

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very worried right now, do you have any good ideas? ”

Liu Jin listed all the princes and kings in one go, and also evaluated each of them, which is to give the standard answer, but the answer still needs to be found by everyone.

King Wusun doesn't need to look at it, it must be ruled out.

There is a high probability that the Nine Emperor Princes are ruled out, after all, Emperor Xiaowen has moved out, which basically cuts off his possibility.

The Seven Princes may not be able to do it, because they are upright and pedantic and not suitable to be emperors.

It's hard to write
