Chapter 370: Court Controversy
On the second day, the ministers spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty, the little prince has just been born, and he has not yet understood the world, so it is really inappropriate for the emperor to make such an important decision!"
Mei Shangshu also stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that what Taishi Su said is reasonable, this position of prince must not be so hasty, the prince is young, and the future is unpredictable;
Taichangqing Shen Jun also stepped forward and said: "The prince's birth is a happy event in the Great Zhou, but he is still just a baby in his infancy, even if the emperor thinks that the future of the prince is promising, it is okay to wait for him to make a decision after he passes the crown." ”
Shi Ang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to set up a prince, the eldest prince is the eldest son, and now that the concubine Shen has established the queen, this eldest prince is the eldest son, and there is nothing wrong with establishing a long prince." ”
Mei Jue retorted: "How can this Great Zhou world allow child's play? Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, the position of the prince values virtue and wisdom. ”
Shi Angzhi said: "If the eldest prince is established as the crown prince, the emperor can train him to become a qualified prince from a young age, and restrain him with the virtue of the prince, which is even more beneficial to the country." ”
Shen Jun said: "This crown prince's position has been established since he was a child, and it seems a little unfair to other princes. ”
Weng Jin, the imperial historian on the side, said: "The position of the prince is about the country's society, not the fairness of the prince, if you can set the position of the prince earlier, it will also make other princes understand their status." ”
Every time you fight for the throne, it is a war that you can't see, as long as it is possible for the prince to ascend to the throne, he will do everything he can to climb to that position, but it will lead to a lot of chaos.
If you can set the position of the prince from the beginning, so that other princes can understand their position, they will not always stare at the position of the prince.
At this time, everyone was divided, and the court quarreled and became a mess.
Yan Qinghan sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the courtiers, they were divided into two factions, because they were all arguing about the matter of establishing the prince, but no one was entangled in the issue of Shen Yanshu's establishment.
"Alright. Yan Qinghan said, "This matter has been decided, there is no need to dispute too much, if the prince's virtue is bad, it is not too late to depose him." Yan Qinghan said in a deep voice.
As soon as he spoke, the entire court fell silent.
The emperor's decree has been issued, even if they quarrel fiercely, it is useless, and the things that he Yan Qinghan decided cannot be influenced by just this minister's quarrel.
"The emperor is wise!"
Chu Linche was the first to stand up and pat himself on the back.
Yan Qinghan said: "Okay, what else do you want to play?"
Some ministers still wanted to continue to say something, but looking at the emperor's appearance, it was obvious that they didn't want to continue to discuss the question about the crown prince, so they could only silently shut their mouths.
The transfer envoy Wang stepped forward and said: "The minister has this to play, King Jing's son Pei Yao unfortunately passed away, and now King Jing is unwell, and the entire southwest King Jing's Mansion is only twelve years old Pei Xiaogongzi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility, the Pei family has come to this point, and I also ask the emperor to take over the southwest states and counties." ”
Ding Xihou stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this King Jing is the hereditary throne of the founding emperor, one of the kings with different surnames in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and for decades, he has been guarding the southwest prefecture and county of the Great Zhou, and he has done his best, and the minister thinks that the Jing Wangfu should not be deprived of the right to govern the southwest at this time." ”
Lord Wang said: "Although what Hou Ye said is not unreasonable, but Hou Ye can't ignore the safety of the Great Zhou, the southwestern states and counties are connected to many small countries, although they are not powerful, but they have been eyeing the Great Zhou, and they have to guard against it, only with this twelve-year-old Pei Xiaogongzi and the disabled King Jing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the intrusion of people with hearts." ”
Hearing Lord Wang say this, everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable, Emperor Wen of Zhou had been suppressing Jingwangfu, if he saw this situation, he would inevitably tear the military power in the hands of Jingwangfu.
However, Yan Qinghan said: "What the two Aiqing said is reasonable, I have decided to let Pei Xuan succeed to the position of King Jing and continue to guard the southwest, but Pei Xuan is still young, and he was transferred to Wei Ye in Liangzhou to assist, and Wei Ye was appointed as the general of Sanpin Zhenxi. ”
Ding Xihou stepped forward and said, "The emperor is wise." ”
When Lord Wang heard Yan Qinghan's arrangement, he bowed his head slightly, which was his approval.
Shen Yanshu was still named the queen, and everyone was a little surprised, but they felt that they should take it for granted.
This month has passed, Shen Yanshu has been out of confinement, but he didn't expect bad news to come again.
King Jing was unwell, but when he heard the news of Pei Yao's death, he was so sad that he fell ill in bed and passed away in two days.
For Pei Xuan, these days are probably like a nightmare, originally it was a good thing for his sister to get married, but it didn't take long for his brother to suddenly disappear, and even his father died.
At the age of twelve, he inherited the throne of King Jing and began to take over the affairs of the southwest, and he realized that the burden on his brother's shoulders was so heavy.
Shen Yanshu took Xiao Li'an for a walk in the imperial garden, the sun was just right, and it was just right for relaxation.
When she was tired of walking, she sat on a small pavilion and looked at the pond not far away, the blue waves were rippling, but her heart could not be calm.
"Ah Qi. Shen Yanshu called.
No one answered her.
Shen Yanshu frowned, and called again: "Ah Qi!"
Mo Jiang walked to Shen Yanshu's side, bowed and said, "What do you command?"
Shen Yanshu asked, "Where did Ah Qi go?"
Mo Jiang said: "Ah Qi's mood doesn't seem to be very good in the past two days, and I haven't seen him come out today, I don't know if he's sick." ”
"You go and see him, if he is sick, he will send the imperial doctor to see, and if he is not sick, let him come to me. Shen Yanshu said, and then handed Xiao Li'an in his arms to the green kite, and hammered his somewhat sore arm.
Mo Jiang answered yes and retreated.
Qing Kite looked down at Xiao Li'an, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, but said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really worry-free, he doesn't cry or make trouble, so he doesn't look like other children." ”
Chao Yan said on the side: "Probably this is the demeanor of a king since childhood." ”
Hearing them say this, Shen Yanshu frowned, this son of hers is indeed not very noisy, will he not like to talk and take care of people when he grows up? If so, it is not good to be too withdrawn.
While she was thinking, Mo Jiang had already walked over with Ah Qi.
"Sister Yan Shu, are you looking for me?" asked Ah Qi.
