1040. Eight sons
Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang: "Okay, you get up, the widow doesn't mean to blame you!" ”
"Widow, I just hope you don't have such a little cleverness!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and continued.
Zhang Tianshang lowered his head: "Minister, understand, the minister will definitely not play these little cleverness, if he is playing, His Majesty will give the minister death, and the minister will not have any complaints!" ”
Qi Xiaobai patted Zhang Tianshang's shoulder and said, "You are my capable minister of Qi country, loyal minister, how can a widow be willing to give you death?" ”
"But what Guan Zhong did really made me very unhappy, if he brought up this matter in the court, you have to argue with him, you know?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said.
Qi Xiaobai is still very worried about Guan Zhong's proposal to abolish the prince in the court, after all, Qi Xiaobai is very reluctant to let Qi Fei be the prince, of course, it is not that Qi Fei can't do it, if Qi Fei's mother is not Liu Ruoqing, Qi Xiaobai can still support Qi Fei as the prince.
But Qi Fei's mother is Liu Ruoqing, and since Liu Ruoqing took power, she has become a little different from the woman Qi Xiaobai knows, no longer the virtuous helper, but a power-hungry empress.
Qi Xiaobai made Liu Ruoqing repent, but over the years, Liu Ruoqing did not have any remorse, and learned from the intelligence of the secret guards and palace eunuchs that Liu Ruoqing had been trying to support his son to succeed to the throne, and he was trying to seize the lost queen's position.
Qi Xiaobai can only be disappointed in this, but the idea of killing Liu Ruoqing, Qi Xiaobai does not, after all, one day husband and wife, Liu Ruoqing is the first woman after he crossed over, Qi Xiaobai's feelings for him are also true.
If Liu Ruoqing hadn't changed, he would still be the same Liu Ruoqing that Qi Xiaobai knew, Qi Fei would still be the prince, and his status would not be shaken.
But Liu Ruoqing has changed, and Qi Fei is a little weak, if he is still alive after a hundred years, this Qi Fei must be just a puppet.
Qi Xiaobai can think of the dictatorship of Empress Lu before him, Wu Zetian usurped the throne, this kind of thing definitely can't happen in the Qi State in his hands.
Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Minister, understand, if Guan Zhong dares to bring it up in the court, the minister will definitely fight with him to keep Qi Zhou's position as the crown prince!" ”
Then Zhang Tian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand why you want to make Qi Zhou the crown prince!" ”
"The foreign relatives behind Qi Zhou are the Ji family, if Qi Zhou comes to succeed to the throne, this Ji family usurps power, this ......" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked his own questions, although he knew that Qi Xiaobai did not establish Qi Fei because he was worried about Qi Fei's mother, Liu Ruoqing was autocratic, because Liu Ruoqing was in charge of the country before, and he had changed, whether it was his personality or anything, he had changed a lot.
In addition to Qi Fei's weakness, the possibility of Liu Ruoqing's dictatorship in the future is still very large, but compared to Liu Ruoqing and Zhang Tianshangjue, the harm of Qi Zhou's succession is greater than that of Qi Fei's succession.
Although Liu Ruoqing has many supporters in the court, after Qi Xiaobai's death, Liu Ruoqing is likely to become an uncrowned empress, but Liu Ruoqing's family is basically dead, Liu Ruoqing is dead, and the future imperial power will still be in the hands of the Qi family and will not fall into the hands of the Liu family.
But on the other hand, Qi Zhou is different, behind Qi Zhou is the Ji family, the royal family of the Great Zhou Empire, after Qi Xiaobai's death, it is inevitable that he will not use Qi Zhou to restore.
The country laid by Qi Xiaobai is very likely to be returned to the hands of the Ji family.
So Zhang Tianshang didn't understand very much, why did Qi Xiaobai set up Qi Zhou as the emperor, Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said: "I can think of everything you think!" ”
"But the future Qi State must not be this kind of Qi State, the Ji family wants to usurp the throne, it is impossible, but Liu Ruoqing's dictatorship is possible!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said, Qi Xiaobai has his own plans in his heart.
The Ji family wants to regain the throne, which is a fantasy in Qi Xiaobai's eyes, not to mention, although Qi Xiaobai has set up Qi Zhou as the crown prince, it is still a question whether the future emperor will be Qi Zhou.
After all, Qi Xiaobai is not only Qi Zhou, Qi Fei's two sons, over the years, there have been eight sons of Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai Jue's self can live for a long time, and these eight sons will grow up in the future, although there is a tradition of the eldest son succeeding to the throne, but Qi Xiaobai broke the tradition of establishing a virtuous succession, rather than the eldest son succeeding to the throne.
Of course, among this son, Qi Fei was eliminated early, because he was too weak, even if Liu Ruoqing died, he would probably become the object of the court's ministers, and a person with a weak personality would not be able to be the emperor.
The person who is the emperor, isn't that ruthless and unkind person?
Seeing Qi Xiaobai say this, Zhang Tianshang didn't ask any questions, no matter what he said, it was Qi Xiaobai's family matter.
This courtier has one of the biggest taboos, that is, to intervene in the emperor's family affairs.
Zhang Tianshang knew that Guan Zhong was now a little disgusted by Qi Xiaobai, not because he was too arrogant, it was because he was too concerned about Qi Xiaobai's family affairs.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said, "Remember your words, once Guan Zhong wants to abolish the prince, you have to fight for reason!" ”
Why does Guan Zhong want to support Qi Fei, Qi Xiaobai also knows, Guan Zhong is a person, saying that he is open-minded, he is indeed very open-minded, saying that he is pedantic, he is also a pedantic person.
The reason why he supports Qi Fei so much, in addition to Liu Ruoqing's reason, there is another important reason, that is, he Guan Zhong does not want to break the regulations of establishing a successor, establishing a long, and not establishing a virtuous.
Of course, among the princes now, only Qi Fei is older and can see their character, but among the rest of the children, who can see their character? Who can be sure that they will be sages in the future?
Qi Xiaobaijue's Guan Zhong asked about this matter, it was too early to ask, if he wanted to ask about this matter, he had to wait for him to ask when he couldn't do it, and he was now young and vigorous.
Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, once Guan Zhong brings up this matter, the minister will definitely fight for it!" ”
"Guan Zhong, this person is actually very good, he is kind to me, I still like him, but he is a little too pedantic in some things!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said.
Zhang Tianshang nodded, he has been with Guan ** for some years, and Zhang Tianshang also has some understanding of Guan Zhong, and he also knows that Guan Zhong is indeed very pedantic sometimes.
But sometimes I have to say that he is very open-minded, but Guan Zhong's open-mindedness is mostly in strategy and some internal affairs, but in terms of traditional etiquette, Guan Zhong is a very pedantic person.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said, "Okay, I'll be quiet alone, so you can step down!" ”
Zhang Tianshang nodded, and then left with his fists clenched.
