"Husband, how could you have such thoughts!" Upon hearing Yun's words, Xiyao was immediately shocked and couldn't help but stand up and said: "This is the rule set by the emperor's grandfather, how can you violate it!" 'Besides, husband!
You are able to inherit the throne because of the eldest son inheritance system. If not, if the eldest son inheritance system is not implemented, after the death of the father (Zhu Biao), King Qin Han should inherit the crown prince position, and then the crown prince position will be passed down.
How can my husband become the ninth-five-year-old king when he comes to the head of the original King of Yan? How can my husband violate the system that allows him to inherit the throne!' Xiyao thought in her heart. But fortunately she still had sense, knowing that these words were not only
It would not play any role in saving Wenyuan's position as crown prince. Instead, it would break up the relationship between the couple that was already experiencing rifts, so I refrained from speaking out.
Hearing Xiyao's words, Yun frowned slightly. Even if she didn't say what she thought about later, the first sentence already made him feel unhappy. If it were placed on others, Yun could even use this as an excuse to blame this person.
He was executed on the charge of 'disrespect'. However, Yun thought that Xiyao was speaking indiscriminately in excitement at this time. He frowned and then relaxed, and said in a calmer tone: "I also know that this matter is indeed against the emperor.
The rules set by the grandfather will also cause turmoil in the court, but Wen Yuan is indeed more suitable to be the prince than Wen Yuan, and will govern the country better than Wen Yuan in the future. Wen Yuan will be replaced at the cost of causing turmoil by violating the rules set by the emperor's grandfather.
The prince is worthy in the eyes of my husband."
"Husband, it's not just the court that is in turmoil. There are many ministers in the court who agree with the system of inheritance by the eldest son. If these ministers oppose it, how will the husband deal with it? The husband can naturally ignore them, but if these ministers do not even do errands in the future,
They ignore them all and just give advice to their husband every day. How should he deal with it? Isn’t it possible to remove them all?" Xiyao asked again.
'What's the point of removing them all?' Just as Yung was about to say this, he heard Xiyao say again: "Even if they are all removed, if the promoted officials are of upright character, they will all agree with the eldest son inheritance system.
People, they will also oppose the idea of a husband who is easy to store. Is it possible to remove all these ministers? If this is really done, I am afraid that there will only be fawning people in the court, and no more honest words will be heard from the husband.
It’s a great harm to govern the country!”
"This." Yun thought about it. Because he had always insisted on the eldest son inheritance system, and the eldest son inheritance system has been inherited since the Zhou Dynasty, so almost all the ministers in the court support this system, and then refer to the history
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted Yi Chu several times. If he wanted to dethrone Wenyuan's crown prince, I am afraid it would arouse the opposition of all the ministers in the court. And this is no better than him taking Lan Siqi as his concubine or carrying out various reforms.
In the eyes of everyone, Prince Yi is a major matter related to ethics, dynasty continuity, and his posthumous reputation. It is more important than anything else. It is very possible that the ministers will ignore their errands and concentrate on admonishment.
As for removing them all, let’s not talk about the turmoil caused by removing 70 to 80% of the officials. Even if they are all removed, the promoted officials will support Prince Gengyi? Zhu Yuanzhang has always emphasized the eldest son inheritance system since the founding of the country.
, all the scholars trained in the past fifty years also regard this as the most important principle and the most important moral principle. There are very few scholars who do not agree with this principle, and since they do not even understand this most important moral principle
If he doesn't care, he will probably be a morally corrupt person. It will take at least ten years to cultivate scholars who do not regard this principle as the most important moral standard. In the intervening ten years, will he have to rely on it?
Do morally corrupt people help you run the country?
Thinking of this, Prince Yun Gengyi's thoughts suddenly dimmed. Although he still believed that Wen Yuan was more suitable to be the crown prince than Wen Yuan, paying such a high price for Prince Gengyi also made him very hesitant. It happened to be the time for the usual meal.
By that time, Min'er and Wen Qi had come back. Wen Yuan, Wen Yin and others also put down their books and walked out of the house. Yun stopped talking about the matter for the time being and went out to have a meal with the children with a normal expression. Xiyao also looked calm and was not much disturbed.
A child can see it.
That afternoon when Yun was approving the memorial, he was still thinking about it. When he returned to Kunning Palace in the evening, he couldn't help but talk to Xiyao again. But what he didn't expect was that Xiyao immediately fell to his knees.
She started crying. While shedding tears, she said: "Husband, do you want Wen Yuan to die without a burial place?"
"How could you say such a thing!" Yun immediately said: "Although my husband wants to be the crown prince, his love for Wen Yuan has not diminished at all. He just thinks that Wen Yuan is more suitable for the crown prince. How could he want to kill Wen Yuan?
?”
"I naturally believe that your husband has no intention of killing Wen Yuan, and will never harm Wen Yuan. But if your husband deposes him as the crown prince, it will be like letting him die without a burial place!"
"Three Kingdoms of Soochow, Sun Quan died and Sun Liang succeeded to the throne. Later, the powerful minister Sun Suo abolished and established Sun Xiu as the emperor. Later Sun Xiu killed Sun and was able to take over the throne. Sun Xiu did not usurp Sun Liang to take the throne, but Sun Xiu still killed him after taking over the throne.
My brother Sun Liang; after Sun Xiu’s death, the ministers elected Sun Hao as emperor and killed all Sun Xiu’s sons.”
"The prince of the Qin Dynasty was originally Fusu. After the death of the first emperor, Hu Hai, Zhao Gaomi did not mourn, but gave Fusu his death in the name of the first emperor. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty abolished the crown prince of his eldest son Yang Yong and replaced him with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty Yang Guang. After the death of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty,
Emperor Houyang immediately forged the posthumous photo of Emperor Wen and ordered Yang Yong to die."
"It can be seen that even if your husband still loves Wen Yuan, if he is dethroned as crown prince, the successor monarch will still regard Wen Yuan as a thorn in his side, and Wen Yuan will still find it difficult to survive!" Xiyao knelt on the ground and cried.
"This." When Yun heard these words, he was stunned for a moment and fell to the ground. He confided to Xiyao that he wanted to be the crown prince without much thought, but he just felt that Wen Yuan was more suitable to be the crown prince than Wen Yuan.
He also thought that Xiyao was the mother of Wen Yuan and Wen Yin's two sons and would not be biased, so he told her without thinking so much about it. Maybe he subconsciously avoided thinking about these fratricidal things. When he heard
After saying these words, things that he didn't want to think about or dared to think about flooded into his mind, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
"Husband, Wen Yuan is my second child and my first son. I love him very much, even more than Min'er and Wen Yuan. I can't bear to see a white-haired man give a black-haired man a favor."
Please save Wen Yuan's life!" Xiyao cried again.
"Why is this so? After all, the Ming Dynasty is different from other dynasties. The land of the Ming Dynasty is far more vast than any other dynasty. If Wenyuan was sealed to Nanhanzhou so far away from the Central Plains, how could the succeeding monarch kill him? How could he be killed?
Kill him?" Yun said reluctantly.
"What if the neighboring vassal king takes credit? Wenyuan has always been bad at fighting. He may not be able to defeat other vassal kings, and he may be defeated and die." Xiyao said again.
Yun didn't know what to say. Of course he could argue strongly, for example, the successor would not think so, or he would leave a few generals for Wen Yuan who were good at conquering and fighting. But no matter what he said, Xiyao would be able to discern and come back.
It was useless for him to say anything to a mother who thought she might have lost her son.
Xiyao cried intermittently for most of the night, and then fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she woke up in the morning, her eye circles were still red. She had to ask her maid to wash her face carefully, and put on makeup to cover it up. But among the people in charge of everything in the palace People still noticed that the queen was different from usual, and they didn't know why, so they could only report the errand carefully; the children didn't notice anything.
Yun Ze didn't sleep all night. He didn't know how long he thought about it last night. When he thought of the tragic fate of the deposed prince recorded in the history books, Prince Yi's mind became lighter. What's more important is that later he criticized the deposed prince in the Qianqing Palace. After answering the memorial, I randomly pulled out a history book and it turned out to be the "New Book of Tang". The first page I opened was the "Biography of Yuchi Jingde" which recorded many bloody details of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. My mind suddenly started buzzing. After that, he gave up the idea of deposing the crown prince. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty established Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, but he also attached great importance to the King of Qin Li Shimin, and because the King of Qin was good at fighting, he once had the intention of changing him to the crown prince. It was precisely because Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty wavered. Uncertain, it will eventually lead to a tragedy of flesh and blood. How similar is my current thinking to that of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty? It’s just that it has not been known to others. But if I continue to think about it like this, others will know it sooner or later. Wen Yuan and Wen Yin , maybe it will come to the point where Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are together. That's all, I'll give up the idea of changing the prince.'
'And Prince Chang Yi is not good at all. First of all, I inherited the throne by virtue of the eldest son's inheritance system. If the next generation emperor does not choose his eldest son, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face? And the turmoil caused will be immeasurable. If Chang Yi Prince, for the sake of stability and the consolidation of the throne, the successor may abolish many of my reforms, and all my hard work will be in vain. That's all, that's all.' Yun finally gave up the idea of changing the crown prince.
…
…
"You are right." Yun came back to his senses and said to Xiyao: "Experiencing the world is indeed a good way for him to mature. The so-called understanding of worldly affairs is knowledge, and the understanding of human feelings is articles. The knowledge in the world is not as good as what is in books. His knowledge is poor."
"Knowing everything in the world is knowledge, and understanding human feelings is writing. Although these two sentences are simple, they have profound meaning and are worth understanding. Husband, I wonder who came up with it?" Xiyao said with a smile.
"This was thought up by a person named Cao Xueqin." Yun was stunned for a moment and said.
"A sage named Cao Xueqin?" She was a sage, but she didn't care and just said: "I want to write these two sentences on paper and stick them in Yuan'er's bedroom."
"Just tell Lu Yi to do it." Yun Ye could only say this. He called Lu Yi in and ordered the matter. Lu Yi followed the order.
