If there is no prince in the country, it is difficult for the society to be safe!

Especially based on the fact that the First Emperor was already in his fifties and went straight to the sixtieth year.

Not everyone can see the dragon's skills, but everyone is definitely in urgent need of a stable heir to give themselves a clear direction so that they can continue to enjoy everything that was hard-won.

The human heart always tends to be stable.

As long as the emperor is not idle and has nothing to raise Gu, most people hope that the prince will settle down as soon as possible.

Therefore, the First Emperor's voice fell, and the courtiers held their breath for a moment.

It has been more than 40 years since the First Emperor wanted to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and so far, the prince has not been decided.

Not to mention decided, it has never even been brought out for public discussion.

There are often twists and turns that talk about the prince, but they are all left behind.

Now, this is the first time since the First Emperor ascended the throne.

Even if Feng Quji and the others had already prepared in their hearts, when they finally said it from the mouth of the First Emperor, there was still a joy of clearing the clouds.

The First Emperor is finally going to take out this matter in a grand manner!

Zhao Si sat on the side of the First Emperor, observing the words and deeds of the court's officials.

The irrepressible excitement cannot be concealed.

But what is surprising is that the first emperor finally let go of the opening for a day, and for a while, above the court, there was no sound, and the needle drop could be heard.

Only, the sound of breathing is a little heavier.

Wang Jian closed his eyes comfortably, and Li Si looked serious and couldn't see any expression.

Feng Quji wanted to speak several times and stopped, looking like he was about to move.

Civil and military officials, nothing more than that!

"Since Your Majesty's Imperial Pole, forty-one years, the six countries of the Ping Dynasty decided the world, drove the Xiongnu to the north of the East Hu Yueshi, chased the 56 parts of the south of the barbarian Yiling in the south, established Jiujiang, Xiangjun, Hexi, Hanoi, built the Great Wall, thought it was a royal matter, punished Xu Fu in Daze, ruled the Central Plains, took the barbarian Yi Rong Di in the Quartet, at home and abroad, the place where the banner started, are all Qin soil, the remnants of the sixth Fen Dynasty, the expansion of the territory several times, the martial arts have surpassed the previous kings and emperors, but there is no prince, the society is difficult to settle, the people's hearts are difficult to determine, it is the land of the six countries, and the people think about the first king......"

The surprise is the voice, but in the face of this hard-won opportunity, there are still people who speak up.

After all, the civil and military officials of Great Qin and even the general public in the world urgently need a prince.

In this era, in a sense, the prince means hope, it means hope.

It means that the future is stable.

What people fear most is instability and unpredictability.

However, this is an era in which kings change, and government rises with people and dies with people.

The speaker is an imperial historian, if Zhao Si remembers correctly, his name is Su Yu, and he is a Confucian disciple.

This person is very interesting, he is obviously praising the first emperor in his words, but he only mentions martial arts and does not talk about Wenzhi.

Well, strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with that.

Needless to say, the martial arts of the First Emperor and the far-reaching impact of his policies are needless to say, but most of them are not in line with Confucian thought.

Fortunately, Confucianism is in decline, and on such a critical day, it can only coax the first emperor, but if it is said that Wenzhi is mostly unable to open his mouth.

But at the end of the conversation, the voice changed.

It is said that the eldest son Fusu is lenient and sympathetic to the people, resolute and brave, and runs Longxi, which can open up territory and expand territory, and can also convince the Huns without chaos.

And Zhao Si, the son of the eldest son, also has the world in mind and is favored by God.

went to sea with Xu Fu, but he lived up to the king's order, although he never found immortals, he was able to bring back divine food.

so that the five grains will be increased, and the six animals will live.

The work of making paper and the whole education, and the method of reforming salt to benefit the people.

can recognize a talented person with great talent between the micro ends, and can know how to make good use of people, Han Xin is inherently handsome, if there is no Zhao Si, but Huaiyin is an insulted teenager.

He is generous, he can magnanimously let go of the Xiang family, let go of the Xiang family and only punish the evil, and after the Xiang family makes meritorious service, he can not bend the law for personal gain, and he will not discriminate against him because he is guilty, and he will honor the rewards he has received one by one.

At last! And most critical!

Zhao Si was not afraid of traitors in the court, and dared to advise the monarch.

The tax of Daqin was reduced to eleven, so that the Shu people could be relieved, stop the house, stop the mausoleum of the first emperor, so as to release hundreds of thousands of people, so that the father and son can be reunited, the husband and wife can meet, and the family can live and work in peace and contentment.

To be honest, Su Yu's impression of Zhao Si is quite good.

Although Zhao Si proposed the infamous order to move the king's tomb.

But it is worth mentioning that Confucianism in this era is also quite down-to-earth, this is the pre-Qin, not the rotten Confucianism of later generations, and the Confucian disciples who can stand on the temple basically have their own merits.

Besides, at this time, not to mention the deposition of Confucianism, Confucianism is divided into three, and there are all kinds of private learning, and the dog's brains are about to be played out among each other.

Therefore, the order to move the king's tomb has received mixed reviews within Confucianism.

Su Yu is a person who respects the royal way and thinks that the relocation of the king's tomb is not a bad government.

To put it bluntly, Wang Dao emphasizes centralization, and at the same time recognizes some of the ideas of Legalism.

In the world, in the world of great disputes, all the sons and hundreds of schools are seeking change, how can they still be distinct?

Especially Confucianism, which has been pressed and rubbed once.

In fact, before Confucianism deposed the hundred schools, the first thing to eliminate was the weak faction within Confucianism......

If you go outside, you must first settle inside......

However, the system of etiquette and law is still deeply influencing Su Yu, for example, he recognized Zhao Si, and also accepted the guidance of big people, knowing that what the first emperor wanted was to establish a grandson and marginalize Fusu, but he still thought that the father should die and the son should be inherited, and the inheritance should be orderly, and he did not approve of the practices and behaviors of the first emperor.

In short, there is a lot of talk, mixed with a very strong political tendency.

In general, he praised Fusu and Zhao Si, and thought that what the current Great Qin needed most was a prince like Fusu and Zhao Si who had the quality of a holy king at the same time, so he thought that if the future of Great Qin could be inherited by their father and son, then the prosperity of Great Qin within three generations was a foreseeable thing.

Feng Quji's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this.

In fact, Feng Quji, as the imperial historian, has long been angry with the imperial historian under his command.

He didn't want to make the First Emperor unhappy at such a time.

Even if it's a little bit of a star!

Therefore, Feng Quji's idea was to give up everything and make the First Emperor happy and set the prince.

His Majesty likes Zhao Si, and if he wants to set up Zhao Si as the prince first, then he will stand first, and Fusu is a foil, that is a foil.

But people are not robots who obey orders after all, in fact, what the first emperor did, Feng Qujian did not dare to express his opinions, and some courtiers also had a lot of complaints.

The father does not know the son, and the son does not know the father, and it is obviously good, so why is this?

Feng Qujian glanced at the First Emperor worriedly, but saw that the First Emperor did not show any displeasure on his face, and even his voice was a little happy?

"What do you think?"

Zhao Si listened to the tone of the First Emperor, and his face showed a somewhat relieved expression.

It seems that the old man of his own family believes it.

Anyway, just believe it, after all, you will live a long life, how can the First Emperor be in a hurry because of this little thing?

Su Yu opened his mouth, and hundreds of officials opened their mouths one after another to discuss the previous words.

Overall, the content is pretty much the same.

all recognized Fusu and Zhao Si.

At least for now, Fusu and Zhao Si must be amiable compared to the First Emperor, and they can listen to people's words, so that they will not treat the ministers as guards.

As for the conflict of political views or something, that's a matter for later.

The difference is nothing more than that someone proposed to simply set the crown prince and grandson at the same time.

It was proposed that the crown prince should be determined first, and then the grandson should be determined in order.

Some were more radical and only proposed to make Zhao Si the grandson, but did not mention the matter of Fusu.

All of a sudden, everyone was in the ascendancy.

Zhao Si listened a little nervously.

I always feel that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are inexplicably unified in their opinions on the matter of the prince.

Understand, they are not actually eager to establish a prince, but to a new emperor.

Lichu is not only to let the people in the world have a head, but also to let them have a head in their own hearts.

It seems that the psychological pressure caused by the First Emperor to them is really not light, although the First Emperor did not indiscriminately kill meritorious heroes and reward and punish them in moderation, but the civil and military officials under his command, in the face of such a king, it is true that Alexander has a lot of complaints, but he doesn't dare to fart.

Zhao Siwen's eyes had a narrow smile in his eyes.

That's right, not everyone can mix it up from the dragon's skills, so the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty can only explain one thing, the ministers have been suffering for a long time.

For them, the first emperor's delay in appointing the crown prince may not be due to hesitation, but because he does not want to share his power.

The reason why the first emperor opened his mouth today may be because his body is gradually aging and the rivers are declining, so he chose to bow to the years.

Part of the courtiers' enthusiasm for Lichu is probably because the sense of oppression brought by the First Emperor is too strong.

For example, the first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is such a diligent emperor, and the hundred officials under his command may not think of diligence, but greed for power.

"You have to ......stay up," Zhao Si smiled and quietly watched the performance of the civil and military officials.

The hustle and bustle was almost boiling, but suddenly an inappropriate voice came out.

"Si Fei is the eldest son, can An be a grandson? If the prince cannot succeed to the throne, there will be chaos after him. ”

When the words fell, all of a sudden, the noise suddenly seemed to drop an octave, and the ministers all looked at the person who spoke.

Feng Quji's eyes widened, staring straight at the person who spoke.

Zhuang Fang!

Chu people!

How dare he?

He really couldn't figure it out, and he really ignored what a stupid person would do.

Feng Quji held his breath, and Wang Qian's closed eyes opened, and he also looked at him.

Even Li Si, who had been expressionless, frowned slowly.

In terms of seniority......

This is something that Lees has considered a long time ago.

After all, he has come this far and needs a way out.

However, the first emperor's favor and attention to Zhao Si exceeded Li Si's expectations, and the various arrangements arranged for Zhao Si were as stable as Mount Tai, so Li Si never thought about this matter again.

After all, Zhao Si is already the general trend.

Elder Brother? Have a hairy use?

And today's court did not exceed Li Si's expectations.

If it was really as he thought, even the eldest prince's henchmen would not dare to mention this kind of thing, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see why the prince was established.

Being able to propose the establishment of a prince first and then a grandson is already their biggest temptation.

Do you really think that the dominance of Taisun is in the hands of Fusu?

Everyone tacitly ignored the fact that Zhao Si was born to Fusu and Zhao Nu, and Fusu did not marry Zhao Si's mother.

Li Si first frowned and looked at Zhuang Fang, who suddenly jumped out, and then looked at Feng Quji.

Feng Qujian noticed that Li Si's gaze turned red in an instant, and shook his head cautiously.

This matter really has nothing to do with him.

Being able to fight for the order of inheritance is already their biggest temptation.

Li Si frowned, ruling out in his heart the possibility that Zhuang Fang was instructed by Feng Quji and others.

He didn't know Zhuang Fang, an unknown person, but he knew Feng Quji and Wang Xuan.

People who are about to sink half of their bodies into the ground don't have the guts.

So, a stupid person?

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was okay.

After all, no matter how you say that Fusu is also Zhao Si's father, if it is really the unanimous thinking of Fusu's henchmen, then I am afraid it will cause some turmoil.

But that's fine, Li Si didn't plan to open his mouth on the matter of establishing a prince.

After all, nominally he was the man of the First Emperor.

But since someone asked, let's answer it easily.

After all, he Li Si studied under Xunzi.

Although it is the law, if you talk about the understanding of Confucianism and etiquette, Li Si is actually beyond ninety percent of the Confucianism in this era.

"Since you say that you are the eldest son, I want to ask, what is the eldest son?"

"The wife is the ......" Zhuang Fang was asked by Li Si, and seemed to be a little afraid, but when he thought of Qi Lan, he still replied stubbornly.

"Your Majesty's palaces do not have a queen, so that the prince's concubines do not have a main room, how can the eldest son have a wife?" Lees asked.

"The eldest son's wife, Qi Lan, was born in the Chu royal family, and she is the eldest son Ming Media is marrying, although there is no wife, there is also a wife." Zhuang Fang spoke.

"The public will, Mrs. Mi is the wife, isn't Your Majesty's royal decree empty?" Li Si asked with a smile.

"I don't mean that, why do you reverse black and white?"

"Since Mrs. Mi is not the main wife, and the son of the eldest son naturally does not distinguish between concubines, dare to ask the princes, how should they succeed?" Li Si no longer looked at Zhuang Fang, but at the Manchu Dynasty.

Li Si spoke, and all the secretaries had their own words.

"There is a grandchild, and there is no grandchild!" Feng Quji seemed to be looking for a way to make up for it, and hurriedly answered to make his position clear.

Fortunately, Zhao Si is the eldest son, and he is the oldest.

Zhu Qing expressed his opinions one after another, and played from all angles, in short, he turned a corner and said that Zhao Si was the most suitable successor.

Li Si shook his head and smiled when he heard the sound and said: "It is the reason for the change, there are grandchildren, and there are no grandchildren, so it should naturally be based on this principle, but I think that although the eldest son does not have a concubine, the heirs are also divided." ”

Without Zhuang Fang, Li Si didn't plan to speak, but since someone raised the issue of the chief, Li Si planned to completely confirm Zhao Si's identity as the chief.

"Establish a son to be long but not virtuous, and to establish a son to be noble but not long, why is it a grandson, and it is expensive?

Why is it expensive, and the mother is also expensive! The mother is expensive, the son is expensive, yes, the son is expensive to the mother, and the mother is expensive to the son, therefore, although the eldest son has no concubine, but the sons have a concubine.

Although His Majesty has not appointed a queen, the princes also have concubines.

As for the concubine, the eldest son's mother is from the Chu royal family, and she is the sister of Changping Jun Changwenjun, the daughter of King Kaolie, and her mother is noble.

And Si Mu, the sister of Gongzi Xie, Gongzi Xie, the patriarch of the Zhao clan, is the most noble daughter in the Zhao State.

Yes, the mother is noble, and the son Si is the grandson, and among the sons, the son Si is the longest, so he is the elder. ”

After Li Siyang finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Fang: "What is Gongzi Si and not Changye?" ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of identity.

Mi Lan is also from the Chu royal family, but strictly speaking, he is the niece of Changping Jun, but he is not the princess of Chu State, he can only be regarded as the clan of Chu State, not the royal line, but Yu Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun are closer.

And Zhao Si's mother, Zhao Ying, is not a royal vein in the strict sense, because the Zhao royal family has been destroyed.

Therefore, the only thing that can be compared is their respective status in the clan.

No matter what Gongzi Xie says, he is also the patriarch, and Zhao Ying is the younger sister of the patriarch......

Although in terms of bloodline, Qilan is closer to the royal bloodline, but in terms of patriarchy, Zhao Ying is more expensive.

Those who hold incense and fire sacrifices are the main ones......

This is an indisputable fact.

And on the backstage...... Everyone doesn't have a backstage, so there's nothing to fight about.

It's just an identity.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in Zhuxia, the distinction between the descendants and the concubines is to see which family has the right to speak in the clan incense sacrifice, rather than which family's bloodline is closer.

Even in later generations, this is the case, after the separation of the family, the palm incense and fire sacrifice can be called the main family.

After all, if the descendants are only based on the theory of blood, it is contrary to the objective fact of class mobility.

Who can say clearly, a hundred years later, which one is stronger, bigger, richer, and has more right to speak?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those who were in the upper position of the branches, if they only followed the bloodline, wouldn't they all be unorthodox?

Taking a step back, which family is willing to be bound by blood for thousands of years?

Essentially, it's just an internal tool of domination......

Li Si chose Legalism precisely because he saw the truth behind the etiquette, but if he wanted to use the etiquette to debate with others, Li Si could also debate for three days and three nights.

After all, there are so many examples in history, and the Chu royal family has not been turbulent, so they are pretending to be chicken feathers and garlic there.

Zhuang Fang was speechless by Li Si's argument, and wanted to speak, but Wang Qian, who had not spoken a word, spoke with a smile on his face.

"What Li Xiang said is reasonable, and it has the effect of clearing the clouds!"

Immediately afterwards, Feng Qujian also immediately expressed his position, and then the ministers made their own statements.

Zhuang Fang was ignored, and the ministers continued to persuade the prince.

Three Princes, Nine Qing!

Hundreds of officials in the court!

What is the general trend?

What is a fixed number?

After the first emperor went through persuasion again and again, he was no longer "stubborn" after all, and chose to accept the advice of his ministers.

"Since this is the case, according to the words of the ministers, the eldest son Fusu will be the crown prince, and Yingsi will be the grandson, and the prince of the state, and he will be about the minister, and it cannot be easier to ......."

This was followed by a long list of statements......

Obviously, it was prepared in advance.

Even the division of duties has been figured out.

The eldest son helped Su to watch the government, and the details were first played in the prince and then presented to the palace.

The grandson stayed in the palace to practice politics, served the Taiwei Wang Jian and the right minister Li Si as the teacher, listened to the execution of the government, and decided on military and financial affairs.

The ministers didn't seem surprised.

If you prepare in advance, you will hold a court meeting.

It's called a discussion, but it's actually a notice.

Anyway, the civil and military officials have long been accustomed to the first emperor's behavior.
