Although Tang Wanjin didn't know anything about it, it was still very simple for Qin Jiyan to understand what happened in the past three months.
He ordered the commander of the imperial army to be summoned, and Qin Jiyan soon found out what Mr. Jiao and the Empress Dowager had done during the three months he was in coma.
"Where is the Empress Dowager?" Qin Jiyan suppressed the urge to kill and asked through gritted teeth.
How dare the Queen Mother make the decision to establish a queen for him! When did he say that he would establish a queen?
Thousands of cities are dead, who will he choose as his successor?
"When I return to the Holy Father, the Empress Dowager is worried about your condition. She was so angry that she fainted and she still hasn't woken up." The commander of the Forbidden Army reported truthfully.
"Are you unconscious?" He really was unconscious at the right time. "Go, Mr. Xuanjiao enters the palace." Since the Empress Dowager is unconscious, he will find another client.
Mr. Jiao will bear the consequences if he dares to falsely convey the imperial edict.
That night, Mr. Jiao was "announced" to the palace by the commander of the Forbidden Army overnight. He was followed by hundreds of forbidden troops throughout the whole process. If he hadn't been shackled, others would have thought that Mr. Jiao had committed a crime.
When the commander of the Imperial Guard entered the palace, Mr. Jiao guessed what was going on. He straightened his collar. Mr. Jiao followed the Imperial Guard into the palace calmly and calmly.
Extending your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife. If you can't hide from the left or right, you will die early and be reborn.
"The guilty minister pays homage to His Majesty, long live long live, long live long live." Master Jiao knelt down obediently as soon as he stepped into the hall.
"Guilty minister? I feel good about you pleading guilty!" Qin Jiyan has never regretted raising Mr. Jiao to the position of chief minister as he does now.
If Mr. Jiao was not the chief minister, he would not be able or have the guts to falsely convey the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, the guilty subject knows he is guilty, but he does not regret it. If it happens again, the guilty subject will still do the same thing." Although he had other ways to keep the secret of the emperor's serious injury, he could not find anything better than that.
An opportunity for the emperor to establish a queen.
"Okay, okay, if you know your mistakes and don't correct them, do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Qin Jiyan slapped the table with murderous intent.
At that moment, he really wanted to kill Mr. Jiao.
This incident touched his nerves and stepped on his bottom line.
"I don't dare. Even if Your Majesty wants to kill me, I will still do it. This is the only way I can think of to make Your Majesty your queen." In front of Qin Jiyan, Mr. Jiao did not dare to tell a lie.
"Establishing a queen? Setting up a queen? I already have a prince. What does it have to do with you whether I establish a queen or not?" He also wants to establish a queen, but where is his queen?
"The establishment of a queen is a matter of state, and if it is state matter, it has nothing to do with the ministers." Mr. Jiao knelt straight. Although he kept saying that he was admitting his mistakes, judging from his performance, he did not think that he was at all wrong. "Your Majesty, even if you are now
If you don’t establish a queen, you will have to establish a queen in the future. Didn’t you never plan to establish a queen?”
Qin Jiyan established a crown prince, but the court officials did not urge him to establish a queen. It was not because they did not care whether he would establish a queen or not, but because they did not want to cause trouble for the emperor, and they did not want to ask the emperor to establish a queen just after the prince's biological mother had an accident. After all, the prince was
Their future master, if the prince knew about this when he grew up, he might not be able to hold a grudge against them.
However, not mentioning it at that time does not mean that it will not be mentioned in the future. Once Xihu and Northern Qi surrender, and Da Qin has no foreign enemies, and the ministers have nothing to do, they will be thinking about the matter of establishing a successor.
History tells them that when the external chaos ends, the internal chaos will quietly unfold.
"I have a prince, and Great Qin has a heir apparent, so why do we need to establish a queen?" Qin Jiyan refused without even thinking about it.
His queen can only be Qian Cheng.
"Your Majesty, although you have a prince, please don't forget that you only have ten years to live, and the prince will only be eleven years old in ten years. Do you think he can secure the throne?" Does the emperor really think that courtiers will not hold grudges?
"My son, let alone eleven years old, can secure the throne even at the age of five." Qin Jiyan said it casually, but he didn't want to make it a prophecy. Long Bao would really ascend the throne at the age of five and secure the throne.
.
"Your Majesty, although the prince is smart, he is still young. In these ten years, do you really have to focus on fighting with the courtiers instead of cultivating capable ministers for the prince?" Mr. Jiao's words were heart-breaking, and he said
Didn't I say, Your Majesty, you only have ten years to live, do you really have to confront the courtiers in these ten years?
Even those of us who are ministers have been afraid of you in the past ten years and have not dared to ask you to establish a queen, but what about ten years from now?
You have passed away and the prince is young. No matter how talented the prince is, he cannot be as comprehensive as an adult. Aren't you afraid that the courtiers will bully your son?
Mr. Jiao had no scruples when he said this. "Your Majesty, sometimes military power is not absolute. How many generals died in the conspiracy."
The Feng family and the Yan family are indeed loyal. The military power in their hands is enough to ensure that the prince can secure the throne. But don't forget that civil servants are not vegetarians. They cheated the Feng family in the rear and the Yan family on the battlefield.
They were defeated and failed in their duties. If they are to be held accountable when the time comes, will they still be able to hold on to military power?
And at that time, could the eleven-year-old prince, who had no one at his disposal, be able to stabilize the situation?
"Your Majesty, ten years is too short. Please make plans for the prince early." Ten years is not short, but the prince is too young. Even if we start teaching from now on, there is no way to train the prince to become the second emperor.
Even if the emperor starts to train a team for the prince from now on, there is no way for them to hold high positions in ten years. Moreover, the emperor can guarantee that the team he trains for the prince will be loyal to the prince, obey the prince's orders, and there will be no mistakes.
Heart? Don’t you have your own thoughts and positions?
"So, you want me to compromise like the courtiers? Ask them to help the prince?" Qin Jiyan admitted that Master Jiao's words were reasonable, but there were so many reasonable words. How could he do anything if he wanted to listen to everything?
"The guilty minister doesn't dare. The Holy One knows that the guilty minister does not have this intention." Mr. Jiao kowtowed heavily to prove his innocence.
"Only you know whether it is yes or no. The human heart is incompetent, so I have to compromise once, and I will have to compromise again and again in the future." On the matter of establishing a queen, Qin Jiyan did not intend to compromise, even if it would cost him and Long Bao.
He doesn't want to compromise if it brings trouble.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince..." Mr. Jiao wanted to tell him about Long Bao's poisoning, but Qin Jiyan didn't give him a chance. "Well, I will make my own decision on this matter. In six days, it will be the March you mentioned.
I will give you six days to resolve this matter."
He caused trouble by himself and solved it by himself. He did not punish Mr. Jiao for falsely transmitting the imperial edict, which was an act of mercy outside the law.
"Your Majesty, do you want the prince to bear the infamy that his biological mother is a beauty who brought harm to the country?" Mr. Jiao did not respond to Qin Jiyan's words. Instead, he shouted sadly. Before Qin Jiyan got angry, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, those who know about it
People know that you were seriously injured and your life was damaged. But people who don’t know, see that you will not be able to establish a queen for the rest of your life because of your biological mother, the prince, and..."
Mr. Jiao did not dare to say the word "die young". He paused and then said: "Your Majesty, by that time, everyone in the world will definitely shift the responsibility to the prince's biological mother. If the prince carries the reputation of his biological mother as a beauty, what will happen to you?
, it’s not good for the prince!”
This is the way the world is. If an emperor never marries a woman for the rest of his life, he will not receive praise but contempt, and this contempt is more directed at that woman.
It would be okay if Qin Jiyan lived long, but if he didn't live long, he wouldn't have enough time to clear his name for himself and Gu Qiancheng.
At that time, the dead will be settled, but the living will have to bear infamy, such as the prince...
