Chapter seven hundred and seventy third it's your turn
In one day, the news that King Duan had beaten Academician Zhang spread like wildfire in the capital.
Scholars from Zhang University were all over the world, and they were highly respected dignitaries in Beijing. They had been taught by him when they were young. Many officials from poor families had submitted for him before taking the imperial examination.
He is not only the husband of Chen Huang and Prince Duan, but also the husband of many important people in Beijing.
King Duan's beating of Mr. Duan was something that was despised by everyone, but to beat such a powerful figure, it only stirred up a hornet's nest.
For a time, officials from the capital and central government jointly submitted a memorial, and the students and scholars were filled with indignation and demanded that his majesty severely punish him without mercy.
This is also the reason why Chen Huang dealt so harshly to Prince Duan yesterday. He beat up his mentor. No matter how hard this matter is, it cannot be washed away, and it cannot be washed away at all.
In order to settle the matter, King Duan prepared generous gifts, and with his buttocks smashed, he was helped to the door to apologize.
Although this calmed the situation slightly, it still could not undo the mistakes he had committed.
A talentless emperor can become a qualified monarch with the help of capable ministers and lofty ideals in the court.
An unscrupulous emperor who deceives his teachers and destroys his ancestors can only bring trouble to the people and harm the government. From this aspect, King Duan is not even as good as King Kang.
While King Duan continued to set new limits, he also lost the patience of the courtiers and the people towards him. After this incident, there were already calls among the people to dethrone Prince Duan.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that among the three princes, King Huai is the most capable and has the best conduct. If the emperor can pass the throne to King Huai, wouldn't it be much better than King Duan and King Kang?
Of course, this idea of the common people is unrealistic in the eyes of the real superiors.
Although His Majesty alone decides which family the throne will belong to, it cannot be passed on to anyone casually.
King Kang and King Duan have status and background, and they respectively represent the interests of some people in the capital. Queen Huai is from the common people. He has no power behind him. The power in his hands is also given by His Majesty. When will His Majesty take it back?
He had nothing left.
The handover of the throne is actually a transfer or exchange of interests. How could those big shots in the upper echelons let King Huai take the throne for their own benefit?
There is no huge interest group behind it, and even Emperor Chen would not consider passing the throne to him. This invisible rule has not changed since ancient times.
If King Huai had made friends with powerful officials over the years and tied them to the same boat as himself, he might still be qualified to compete with King Kang and King Duan. But if you think about it carefully, if King Huai really did this, he would not
Hoi An has been able to survive until today, but it may have been eliminated long ago by the joint efforts of King Kang and King Tuan.
King Huai couldn't get this throne if he didn't fight for it, and he couldn't get it if he fought for it. He had no other choice but to rebel.
Even King Run, who has not yet grown up, is more likely than him.
Today, His Majesty is actually facing a very embarrassing situation when considering the matter of the Crown Prince.
As the eldest son, King Kang was disheartened and refused to accept the throne, giving up the fight for the throne himself.
King Huai's status was low. He would only be a prince in his life and was not among the candidates.
King Duan has neither talent nor virtue. If you pass the throne to him, the country that your Majesty has managed for decades may be ruined in a short period of time. When the time comes, your Majesty may jump out of the imperial mausoleum in anger.
Even if he doesn't jump himself, there's no guarantee that invaders from the grassland or the Western Region won't dig.
Thinking about it carefully, if His Majesty is in good health and can live for a few more years, passing the throne to King Run would seem to be a better choice.
Prince Run's mother-in-law comes from the Fang family, which is a first-class family in the capital with numerous nepotisms. In terms of status, she is nobler than Prince Huai, in terms of brains, she is smarter than Prince Kang, and in terms of filial piety... Who in Beijing doesn't know that Prince Run is not very old?
, is filial piety commendable?
Academician Zhang praised King Run more than once for his intelligence and studiousness. The fact that he cooked soup for His Majesty every day was often reported in newspapers.
After thinking about it carefully, fourteen-year-old King Run is already not too young. With His Majesty's physical condition, it is not a problem to live for another five years. By then, wouldn't it be just right to pass the throne to King Run?
When the three kings and the second king were fighting for the throne, no one would have considered the existence of King Run. However, now that King Kang had given up and King Duan could not help him, King Run, who was hiding in the corner and was inconspicuous, finally began to come to people.
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Zhao Yuan blinked, looked at Huang Chen, and asked: "Father, does it taste good?"
Chen Huang looked at him, and the clouds in his heart because of Prince Duan gradually dissipated. He smiled and said, "It tastes good. The soup made by Yuan'er is even better than the one made by the imperial chef."
"Then can I go out of the palace and give a bowl to the Grand Master?" Zhao Yuandao said, "The Grand Master is injured. Drinking soup is good for your health."
Emperor Chen took him over, let him sit on his lap, and said, "Yuaner's filial piety is commendable. I will send someone out of the palace soon to send a copy to the Zhang family, so you don't have to leave the palace yourself."
"Okay then." Zhao Yuan nodded and said with some disappointment: "Father, drink slowly, I'm going to study."
"Don't worry, stay with your father for a while." Chen Huang touched his head and raised his hand to find that Prince Run was sitting on his lap, already taller than him.
"Father is getting old..." He sighed, and then said with some relief: "Yuan'er will grow up soon."
Wei Jian looked at King Run with a smile and said: "I still remember that His Highness King Run was crawling around on the ground when he was a child. He grew so big in the blink of an eye. In two years, he will really grow up."
"Yes, my Yuan'er is about to grow up..." Wei Jian's words made Chen Huang fall into deep thought, with a light in his eyes. At a certain moment, he looked at King Run and asked: "Has Yuan'er thought about it?"
But, one day, I will sit in my father's seat?"
Zhao Yuan asked doubtfully: "I sit in my father's seat, where does my father sit?"
Chen Huang said: "Father is tired and wants to take a rest, but before he takes a rest, he needs to find someone who can help him. Is Yuan'er willing to help him?"
Zhao Yuan said without hesitation: "Yes."
Chen Huang said: "But that will be very tiring."
Zhao Yuan still said without hesitation: "As long as I can help my father, I am willing to do it no matter how tired I am."
Chen Huangxiao asked: "What if I can't go out of the palace to play with my sister Wang's sister Zhang's sister?"
Zhao Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Then can I take them into the palace?"
Chen Huang looked at him and said, "As long as you want."
"It doesn't matter whether we pick them up or not..." Zhao Yuan wiped his saliva, smiled, and said, "The main thing is that I can help my father..."
…
Zhang Mansion.
Academician Zhang has countless disciples in Beijing, but he has been injured in the past few days. The Zhang family is constantly visited by guests every day.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of Zhang's house. When two officials who were about to enter saw the people getting off the carriage, they immediately bowed and said, "I have met the Prime Minister."
Wang Xiang nodded slightly and walked slowly towards Zhang Mansion.
Although Wang Xiang and Grand Scholar Zhang were political enemies, they had no deep hatred. It was normal for him to come to visit when Grand Scholar Zhang was injured.
In the room, everyone saw the king come in. After bowing, they left one after another.
Prime Minister Wang and Grand Scholar Zhang became at loggerheads as soon as they spoke. If they had a quarrel later, it would be wrong for them to help anyone.
Wang Xiang looked at Academician Zhang on the hospital bed and asked, "How is it?"
Academician Zhang glanced at him and said, "I can't die."
Wang Xiang said: "You are in much better health than me. If you start fighting, King Duan may not be your opponent. How could you be beaten by him?"
"What I can do has been done." Academician Zhang did not answer. He looked at him and said, "Next, it's your turn."
