With such an obvious gap between the prince and the king of Qi, it is not too difficult to choose who will inherit the throne. What makes everyone even more reassuring is that Queen Pang has never expressed her intention to let the prince ascend the throne so far, and the attitudes of several Zaifu are also ambiguous, and no one will open their mouths to express their stance first.

However, Zhang Dian went to the mansion of King Qi many times, and he stayed for most of the day, and he didn't know what he said. In this way, even if the court doesn't say anything, everyone has some ideas in their hearts.

Obviously, the court is talking to King Qi, what are you talking about? What else can we talk about, talk about the succession of King Qi. As for why there was no result after talking for so long, it was too normal, when Taizu added the yellow robe, he had to push it a few times, King Qi is a descendant of Taizu, and this tradition cannot be lost.

But there are also people with more flexible minds who put forward another possibility, they say that whether the king of Qi ascends the throne or not can not only depend on the decision of the imperial court, but also listen to what the king of Liang in Yangzhou has to say. If he doesn't say anything, no one can settle this matter, and it doesn't make any sense to settle it.

Regardless of the original intention of the person who said this, this view quickly spread in the court anyway. In addition to setting up a layer of human normality between King Liang, King Qi and the imperial court, it also had a great impact on the position of many officials.

What followed was that the Liangwang Mansion in Yangtze Town suddenly became crowded from the door, and the officials of the nearby states and counties, whether they knew each other or not, found an excuse to visit, and the excuse was particularly right, so that Hong Tao could not hide.

People don't say that they are here to be familiar, but to care about the construction of the cross-river bridge, and ask if the adults still need it. As a magistrate, how can you turn a blind eye to a big project that can benefit the people on your own territory, that is a crime!

"Daddy, why bother to deal with these people who tend to be inflammatory, if you had this thought, I'm afraid that the bridge of the seventh brother would have been built last year!"

Seeing that his adoptive father was busy with meetings, and had to find time to deal with officials from all walks of life, and he was so busy all day that he had to bring food to the venue, Wang Shi was not happy again.

"Old ten, you are good anywhere, but your heart is not wide enough, and you lack the degree of tolerance, and anyone who you don't like is eager to die. If you want to achieve a great cause, it is useless to rely on ruthlessness, and when necessary, you must also know how to unite all those who can be united. As long as the general direction is the same, even if it is only for a short period of time, we must try to seek common ground while reserving differences. Force cannot solve the problem completely, and force alone can only make the problem more and more. ”

Although Hong Tao was tired, he was in a good mood. Regardless of whether what those officials said in their hearts or not, it is estimated that most of them are not, but now they can only say it to themselves, and this is a great progress.

As soon as he returned to Yangzi Town, he handed over the recital supporting King Qi's accession to the throne, and his attitude was as clear as before, and he didn't need to be polite at all. The next step is not to figure out how to seize power and usurp the throne, but how to govern this huge country.

I don't think much of the current Great Song officials, but I can't completely exclude them from the system in a short period of time. In this case, there is no need to turn people away from thousands of miles away.

It is better to have a few more people who tend to be inflammatory, than a few more people who hate their immortality and secretly drag their feet to make trouble. Moreover, these officials are not as unbearable as Wang Shi said, and some of them have good reviews and political achievements, and their abilities are enough.

The reason why they come to their place to sell their faces and laugh is completely due to habit, and the officials who have been popular in all dynasties and dynasties must meet the wind and rudder, which is the basic quality of officials. If you can sum up the lessons of history, so will others, so there is no need to have too many prejudices against them because of this.

Not only can you not have it, but you also have to convince the core members of the promotion society that it is best not to have it, which is called unified understanding and unified thinking. Why did the ancients say that it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, and the reason is here.

When you are fighting, you know who is the enemy and who is the friendly army, but when you govern the country, the enemy and the friendly army are not so obvious. Sometimes you can't even see clearly, and most of your energy is spent on distinguishing between friend and foe, where is there time to destroy the enemy.

"The second sister will do the things of unity, she likes to do this the most, and if she can't unite, her daughter will solve it." It's not that Wang Shi doesn't understand, she pretends not to understand even if she understands, there is no too complicated reason, just three words, I don't like it!

"You should be busy and do what you want, don't affect your father's appetite!" When encountering such a piece of steamed and cooked goods, he couldn't easily fool her, Hong Tao only had one last trick, and took out his father's style to blow her away, out of sight.

"Baga, come here and teach the director a few nirvana!" Wang Shi didn't harass Hong Tao anymore, but he didn't let go and dragged Baga away. She is interested in everything that can hurt, kill, and trap people.

"What! She's gone and you're going to take over, it's recess now, and you're not allowed to eat! Baga accompanied Wang Shi to the back garden to compete, Hong Tao just picked up his rice bowl and stuffed a mouthful of half-cold food, Wang Er appeared in front of him with a strange smile.

This is not a worry-free thing, Wang Shi's bad is all on her face, and she is a smiling tiger, and she does not pay for her life. Every time the promotion society meets to vote, her shadow wanders over the venue to a greater or lesser extent, and she can't catch it if she wants to.

"Empress Pang's decree has arrived, who do you guess is the person who passed the decree?" Wang Er didn't have any emotions because his adoptive father didn't welcome him, and he still had that evil smile.

"Yi Zhi...... So the court and the queen have already negotiated. Qi Wanggui will definitely not come as the new king, and the two brothers will sit in the court, preparing for the funeral while busy with the enthronement ceremony, and those who can have a little affection and courage to come to my father are the only ones left. ”

In order to get the children used to use their brains, Hong Tao has adopted this education method from the beginning, and he has to ask questions about everything.

Now that they are older, they are not willing to just answer, and in turn it is time to test themselves. You can't answer wrong, if you are wrong, you have to be despised, not in terms of face, but in terms of intelligence.

"Hey, hey, does Daddy have any personal relationship with that Queen Pang? Over the years, she has taken care of her family in business, and she will repay her kindness before the emperor's bones are cold, and she is busy summoning her father back to Beijing to be regent. The answer to this question was correct, and the wicked smile on Wang Er's face became stronger, and he stretched out his hand from behind his back and held a roll of yellow silk.

"It's getting more and more disagreeable, how can the holy decree be peeked at casually, what about the big official Su?"

Wang Er actually suspected that he and Queen Pang had an ulterior affair, and he said that he had a nose and eyes, just like the real thing. Hong Tao didn't answer half a word, and took the holy decree and looked at it alone.

The more the children expressed their suspicions, the less suspicious they were, and they could not find any evidence and resorted to this method, trying to find some clues from their faces.

The first half of the edict is very regular, and it uses a lot of flowery rhetoric to illustrate two things: first, the emperor died of illness without any objection; Second, the new emperor was elected, and there was no objection.

The second half is a vulgar vernacular, and only one thing is explained in just a few sentences. King Liang is highly respected and talented, and is the pillar of the country. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he needed the assistance of such capable ministers. The new emperor, empress and the imperial court unanimously thought so, and looked forward to returning to the court as soon as possible to shoulder the heavy burden.

"The official and the lady are talking in the main hall, and Nanami is listening. Daddy, are we winning? Wang Er kept staring at his adoptive father's face, trying to see some kind of reaction on it, but until he read the holy decree, he still didn't find anything, so he had to open his mouth and ask.

"It's only the first step...... Governing the country is like stewing whale meat, from slaughtering, soaking, pickling, to seasoning, and heat, if there is a sloppy taste, the taste will be greatly reduced. Now we can only be regarded as qualified to go to the stove, and it is not yet known how well this pot of meat is stewed. ”

Rejoicing is deserved, rejoicing is deserved, and celebrating is not an exaggeration. For more than ten years, it is not easy for me to come to this point with them, from scratch, through hardships, and fear.

But Hong Tao doesn't want the children to feel that they are done, and they have to continue to put pressure, people are light and fluttering without pressure, and the result of Da Songxin is a big mess, and it will be difficult to tighten it again.
