How could such a major event as the enthronement of the Son of Heaven be just the meaning of the Ministry of Rites?

Liang Chu and Gu Dayong were witnesses of the election night, and they were now silent.

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Mao Cheng had to respond positively, "The edict is clear......

"It is clearly written in the edict that Gu Nai Xing is the eldest son of the king!" Zhu Houxi's emotions seemed to be ignited by him, and he said angrily, "Emperor Xiaozong's own brother Xingxian Wang's eldest son Houxi, Lun Xuan should be established. In accordance with the text of the ancestor and the elder brother, he sent an official to welcome him to Beijing on the same day and take the throne of the emperor! ”

Zhu Houxi repeated the content of the edict, and even changed his claim to Lone: "Uncle Zong, if Lone ascends the throne with the crown prince ceremony, who is the son?" ”

Liang Chu saw Mao Cheng's stunned appearance, and finally realized what the problem was.

With this Ministry of Rites book, Prince Liang has not thought too much about the details of this imperial inheritance.

From the habitual understanding, the inheritance of the throne and the bloodline are inseparable. If you want to succeed to the throne, you must have an heir, this is a matter of course.

Even though we all know that King Xingxian now has only one son left, there are similar allusions in history, and one more person can be selected from the clan to succeed to the name of King Xingxian.

From the announcement to the present, the Xingwang Mansion has not expressed any doubts about this issue. It seems natural to them, too, who would refuse the throne?

Who would have thought that the heir would treat the edict like this?

After Liang Chu faced this conflict, he finally realized the flaw in the edict: he didn't write a word more, making it clear that he would succeed to the throne!

After Mao Cheng was stunned for a short time, his emotions suddenly became intense: "Your Highness! If the great inheritance is not the succession of father and son, it can only be brother and brother! If there is no heir, where does the Son of Heaven come from? Where does Your Highness want to place your ancestors? ”

Zhu Houxi shook his head: "Lone entered Beijing with the edict of the emperor's brother, and the edict is the legal system of Lone succession!" If you want to enter the temple of filial piety alone as a son and then succeed to the unification, why not make it clear as soon as possible? Gu Naixing is the eldest son and only son of the king, and he can't fulfill his filial piety in advance, but now he wants to see profit and forget righteousness and abandon his biological parents to worship others? How do you want to make people in the world talk about loneliness? ”

A series of rhetorical questions, Zhu Houxi also tried his best to use salutations and words to strengthen his attitude on such a serious occasion.

Xie Changjie trembled, it was all over...... This hasn't entered the city yet, why did it clash first?

"Filial piety is big and small, His Royal Highness is the son of King Xingxian, and he is the queen of Taizu!" Mao Cheng squirted out, "Now that you are in the country, how can you lose a big one because of a small one?" Filial piety temple heir ......"

"The temple of filial piety is extinct?" Zhu Houxi interrupted coldly again, "Who is the son of the Emperor Daxing?" ”

Mao Cheng choked suddenly.

Emperor Hongzhi is indeed not an heir, he has a son; But this son is now childless and collapsed, and he really wants to pick out the words, and the heir is Zhu Houzhao.

“…… Temple...... Your Highness. Xie Changjie gritted his teeth and stood up, "For now, it's better to ascend the throne first, and the country can't be without a king for a day." If there is an endless dispute on this matter, the world will be in chaos, and the society is the most important......"

After that, he thought about Zhu Houxi's posture, and said to Liang Chu and the others: "Pavilion Elder, Great Uncle, you might as well discuss first, how to dedicate the royal palace to the whole palace, so that His Royal Highness will not be discussed by the world." ”

Mao Cheng's spirits lifted, and the governor of the palace seemed to agree that His Royal Highness needed an heir and then a successor, so it was easy to say.

And how to give grace to King Xingxian, the Ministry of Rites has naturally studied it for a long time, and this is his job.

Before he could speak, he heard Yuan Zonggao coldly refute: "If the name is not right, the word is not good!" His Royal Highness is to succeed to the throne by the edict of Emperor Daxing, edict out the queen mother, cabinet ministers, welcome the group to hold the edict of the golden talisman all the way to Anlu, welcome the escort army to return to Beijing with him, everything is in the clear! His Royal Highness succeeded to the throne with the eldest son of King Xingxian, and after ascending the throne, King Xingxian should be honored by the emperor, and the princess should be honored by the Queen Mother, so that His Royal Highness will not be discussed by the people of the world. ”

Xie Changjie's heart trembled, and everyone in the Fengying group was in a monstrous wave in their hearts for a while.

Especially Zhang Heling, his face has completely changed.

Since receiving a poetry tube, he has not been liked by Cui Yuan along the way, and he thought it was because he was closer to those literati.

Although Cui Yuan is not a Wenchen, he is also quite famous.

Today, the poor dagger saw that he borrowed a note to enter the city and enter the palace, and the true purpose of the heir was revealed: he was not ready to be the son of Xiaomiao.

If he is not the son of Xiaomiao, will he still be the uncle of the country in the future?

Mao Cheng suddenly spoke: "Yuan Zhentai's words are ridiculous! ”

Zhang Heling couldn't help but look at Mao Cheng, and when he heard Mao Cheng reprimanding Yuan Zonggao directly, Zhang Heling felt that Mao Cheng was so kind.

Look at that Liang Chu is still silent with his eyebrows lowered, just like his reputation as a good old man in the cabinet and no one can be offended! Such a person is also worthy of being a cabinet minister?

Mao Cheng faced Yuan Zonggao this time, and his firepower was even more fierce: "Yuan Zhongde!" In this way, where is the Empress Dowager Cishou? ”

He didn't just target Yuan Zonggao, he was beating Zhu Houxi: What kind of kindness did people choose you?

Mao Cheng said to Zhu Houxi: "His Royal Highness only said that there is 'the eldest son of the king of Xingxian' in the edict, why not talk about the brother and the four words?" If today's son is a big line, if his younger brother is a younger brother's righteousness, then now there is more than one person who is the emperor's younger brother! Now that the emperor has no queen, the foundation of filial piety can only be passed on to parents and children! The heirs are one, the succession is not the heir, and the chaos will never end! ”

"The royal brother has no queen, is it a lonely fault? Is it my father's fault? Why is it that the orphan heir is a large sect, so that the father and the king are not allowed to worship their own children? Please teach me. ”

Before Mao Cheng could reply, Zhu Houxi asked rhetorically: "After listening to the words of Uncle Zongzong before, now Gu can see it." There are so many inside stories of the great throne inheritance this time, so since you know this, why is it in such a hurry? If you want to choose a lonely heir, why didn't you consider that the palace is also a single line, and the advance envoy came to ask if you were willing? Or, do you want to make a will? ”

"Your Highness!" Mao Cheng's head was a little dizzy.

Zhu Houxi continued to interrupt him and said: "Now I have never asked Gu's opinion, second, I have not issued an order first, and third, I have directly welcomed Gulai to succeed to the throne with great fanfare. In the edict, the identity of the eldest son of the king of Xingxian is clearly written, but he wants to ascend the throne as the crown prince and pass under the temple of filial piety! There is no need to argue, if so, you will not enter the city alone. ”

Liang Chu opened his mouth to persuade him, but he heard Zhu Houxi say to him: "Liang Ge Lao, I have remembered the grace of the queen mother's election and the merits recommended by the cabinet ministers. But if my heir is to ascend the throne, there will be no retribution. I'd rather continue to be a prince, and I must personally support my mother and sacrifice my father as a parent! ”

Having said that, Zhu Houxi sent the guests off directly and let them discuss on their own.
