Chapter 1111 The emperor forcefully established the emperor’s grandson
The emperor smiled and accepted the congratulations and flattery from all the civil and military ministers. With his face glowing red, he happily announced three things.
The first one was to make Concubine Zhang, the late eldest prince’s mother, queen.
The former empress was deposed because of the civet cat exchange for the crown prince, and she was promoted along with the concubine. The post of the concubine has been vacant. There are people in the front and back of the harem who have been working hard to fight for this position. For a long time, everyone has felt that the one who is most likely to be conferred the title of concubine.
She is Concubine Zhou, who was born in the Zhou family, a well-established family.
But I never expected that Concubine Zhang would be the queen.
But when they thought about the emperor's favorite Prime Minister Zhang Han, everyone felt it was not strange. His nephew had become prime minister, and it was not difficult for his aunt to accept the title.
When the emperor made him a palace empress, no one dared to raise his opinion. After all, no one would ask for other people's opinions when getting married. The emperor just made him a palace empress.
The second thing the emperor announced was that Huang Yunqi was adopted to the late eldest prince and became the emperor's direct grandson.
After the emperor announced his intention to establish King Qi as his heir, he just glanced at the ministers, but it was just a glance, and he did not ask for anyone's opinion.
The emperor had mentioned this matter in the court more than ten days ago. At that time, some ministers objected, and King Cheng proposed to discuss it later. Now this is the second time he mentioned it. However, it was not discussed again, but
It's a direct order.
When everyone heard this second piece of news, they all looked at Zhang Han with astonishment on their faces: King Qi has become Zhang Fei, isn't he the grandson of Queen Zhang, has he become Zhang Han's nephew? The Prime Minister has always been
He supported King Qi to become the emperor's heir. It turned out that he was helping himself!
Zhang Han smiled bitterly, he really didn't know the result.
If the first two things announced by the emperor only shocked the hearts of the civil and military ministers, when the third major event was announced, it can be said to be an earthquake.
Because what the eunuch read next was an imperial decree conferring the title of grandson of the emperor:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... to appoint King Huang Yunqi of Qi as the grandson of the emperor. I highly recommend this!"
Everyone was speechless: Is this the title of grandson of the emperor?
All the ministers looked at each other.
Everyone did not expect that the emperor not only established a strong queen and heirs, but also directly named the emperor's grandson!
This caught the officials by surprise.
Some people wanted to raise objections, but they opened their mouths and closed them knowingly.
After all, today's emperor is unprecedentedly powerful. Anyone who dares to oppose will probably face fierce oppression.
After all, at any time, the rule for establishing a crown prince is either to establish the eldest son or to establish the direct descendant. It can be said that most of them are to establish the direct descendant.
Now the emperor has only one heir, Prince Qi. He is both the eldest and the direct descendant. If the emperor wants to make him the crown prince, who else can he make if he doesn't?
You say Cheng Wang? He is just the emperor's grandnephew. He is from a different line in the genealogy. He is not in the same line as King Qi and is not qualified to compete for the position of crown prince.
If we say that in the past, ministers could still object to establishing heirs and grandchildren on the grounds that King Qi was young. Because the emperor was in poor health, they were afraid that the emperor would fall if he was not careful. King Qi was young and could not bear the responsibilities of the entire country.
.
But now, this reason is no longer valid. The emperor is in good health and wants to make his only heir the emperor's grandson and train his successor. Who dares to object?
Who can object and for what reasons?
The emperor listened to the eunuch's voice announcing the edict, and saw the ministers either obeying or objecting but not daring. He felt very comfortable. Suddenly he felt that the eunuch's voice was quite pleasant.
Before, I had health problems and the king was weak and the ministers were strong, so I had to think a lot about everything I did. Now that I have a good body, I can do whatever I want, which is really great.
