Liu Sanwu was the first to speak: "The Son of Heaven is the big sect, and the vassal king is the small sect, which is a definite change of the throne since ancient times. Although the East Palace is in the East Palace, the heirs are still there, and the heirs of the large sects are not extinct, so the small sects cannot be on the throne. The minister asked the eldest son of the East Palace, Yun Wei, to be the grandson. ”

Although Qi Tai was born in the military department, he is also easy to come to the ancient and modern history books, and he also said: "Although the king of Yan is brave, he likes to fight and fight, and he is not the image of the master." If Wei Zhiren is the king of the city (Cao Zhang), he can be a general, not an emperor. There is a cloud in "Sima Fa Renben": "Although the country is big, the belligerent will perish", Your Majesty, please do not forget the old things of Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

"Now that the beacon fire is extinguished, the remnants of the yuan are gone, the king of the town is at the edge, the world is at peace, and the master who should choose to keep it is."

"The prince's son Yun Wei, who is studious when he is young, is quite proficient in poetry and literature, often discusses the way of governing the country with the prince, is kind and generous, and has the image of a master."

"The minister also invites the eldest son of the East Palace, the emperor's grandson Yunwen."

Zhu Yuanzhang's cloudy eyes rolled, obviously their answer was not satisfactory to him.

At this time, Yan Xincheng on the side fell into a tangle.

From Wenchen's point of view, he actually agrees with Zhu Yunwen.

King Yan is very strong, he is a young Zhu Yuanzhang.

What is Wenchen's ultimate philosophy? For them, the best emperor is a clay puppet in the court, that is, an emperor who only promises to Wenchen and does not have too many opinions.

You enjoy your pleasure, I rule my country, and occasionally scold the emperor to show his loyalty and courage to speak out without fear of imperial power, which is the favorite form of civil servants.

If the emperor is too strong, the power of the civil officials and doctors will be greatly reduced, which they do not want to see.

At the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang, Corporal Lixian played the banner of "reopening the sky of the Great Song Dynasty", which caused the literati to think that he was no different from the Zhao official family of the former Song Dynasty, so they surrendered one after another.

However, when they really entered the regime of the Ming Dynasty, they found that this Emperor Zhu was far from the former Song and Zhao families!

But there is no way, if you want to run, it is a "it is said that it is difficult to be a court official".

Now it's hard to get rid of this Tai Sui, and then Zhu Di? Are you kidding!

But for the Yan family, Zhu Di is more suitable.

At this time, although the Yan family had a few people in the office, one official was small, and the second was not much, and in general, the suppression of civil officials had little impact on them.

Xungui was suppressed, and that was the important thing that moved the big house.

And Yan Keng is still on King Yan's side, I heard that he has made military exploits and has been promoted to the commander of the right guard of Yanshan, the general under the throne of Yan, if King Yan ascends to the throne, the power of the Yan family will not be very prosperous for a while?

He was suddenly in a tangle.

Over there, Wu Bozong didn't speak, but the old god was standing in place.

There was a moment of silence in the study.

"The minister thinks that he should be the prince of Liyan."

Yan Xincheng finally made a choice.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, while Qi Tai and Liu Sanwu turned their heads and looked at him with a "traitor" look, and then they quickly understood, and there was a look of contempt in their eyes.

Mouse Eyed Guy! Because of the rise and fall of a family name, it is a big thing for me!

"King Yan is old, and now he thinks that he is the head of all kings, and he has great achievements, and he can also serve the people when he gets this throne. Now is not the time for Ma to put Nanshan, the southeast is not peaceful, and the north is far from being as peaceful as Master Qi said. ”

"Your Majesty, what Yan Xincheng said is the opinion of the horseman!"

"Your Majesty, don't believe the words of this ruined country!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, Liu Sanwu and Qi Tai immediately spoke.

The three of them went back and forth below, refuting each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the top, he listened to the sound of the argument below, only felt very noisy, and his heart swelled with inexplicable irritability.

These people are all for their own selfish interests, and none of them are thinking about my great tomorrow!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he reached for the inkstone on the table, trying to disperse them and be quiet himself.

Fortunately, he still restrained himself.

"Stand down!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily:

"I still need to think about this matter and discuss it again!"

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing why the emperor was angry, but since the emperor had said so, he had no choice but to leave the palace.

-----------------

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the urgency of Lichu.

But it's really hard to choose between the two.

King Yan is old, and he is the most like him among the remaining children, the old man, he naturally likes such a son, but King Yan is indeed too belligerent, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty at this time is basically too peaceful, and the border is just a disease of scabies, what is needed is a benevolent monarch like Zhu Biao, which can be seen from his cultivation of Zhu Biao.

And Zhu Yunwen, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, it is the same as what Liu Sanwu said, he is the son of a great sect, and his legitimacy is to surpass Zhu Di. And he, like Zhu Biao, can be seen to be a literati emperor, which meets Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements. However, he was too young and did not show extraordinary talent like Zhu Di.

In the end, he couldn't make a decision.

Zhu Yuanzhang planned to inspect Zhu Yunwen, he took this young man with him, let him deal with affairs with him, and at the same time ordered the officials in the north to report Zhu Di's recent actions from time to time.

However, he overestimated his lifespan too much.

The death of his three sons one after another consumed the last of his mental strength, and he was already a seventy-one-year-old man.

In July of the 31st year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu died.

He had died in the Imperial Study, and when his body was found, the old man was leaning back in a dragon chair, still clutching a brush stained with red paint.

In front of him, on the large table, there was a yellow silk cloth. It was upright and had a few names written on it.

Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Tang He, Zhu Wenzheng......

Among them, on the name of the blue jade, there is a hook that is painted halfway.

At this time, Lan Yu had just been arrested and imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang on twelve charges of arrogating and insulting Concubine Yuan and attacking his own city.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still not at ease after all, even if it is Zhu Di who ascends the throne, he is worried that the other party will not be able to suppress these courtiers who fight with him, especially Lan Yu, who is only forty-five years old and brave and good at fighting.

The order to peel the grass is on the table.

Almost, it's about to be sent out.

Sapphire picked up a life.

-----------------

Zhu Yuanzhang died, but he didn't have time to set up a prince.

He abolished the prime minister, and now the dragons are leaderless, and the six ministers and cabinet ministers gathered together to discuss the succession.

Although they usually have all kinds of contradictions, but in the face of the problem of heirs, all the ministers are united.

Even among the military ministers, except for Li Jinglong, the left governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the others did not receive a notice from the previous court.

Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, was the character of the grass on the wall, he obeyed the orders of the ministers, assisted the military department Shangshu to control the army of the Beijing Division, and strictly ordered not to act rashly.

By the time the generals and nobles reacted, they had already lost their skills.

In August of the 31st year of Hongwu, Hongwu's edict was issued.

The edict said.

The eldest son of Lidong Palace, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen is the emperor.
