Chapter 1263: Ritual of Sacrificing Heaven and Earth (3)

The queen mother and the concubine mother came to the capital and entered the palace, only ten days away from the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens and the earth, the time is very tight, and there are still many things to prepare, and the biggest thing before this is to establish the crown prince, which must be clear.

The establishment of the crown prince means the stability and prosperity of the dynasty, which means that there are successors to the dynasty, there are too many lessons in history, because of the struggle for the throne, which led to the rapid decline of the dynasty, resulting in the civil and military ministers in the court at a loss, but there are also many lessons in another aspect, that is, the struggle between the crown prince and many vassal kings or princes, the Ming court has done a very absolute job in this regard, because there are many lessons, after being canonized as a vassal king, The vassal king had to leave the capital to go to the fiefdom, completely leaving the center of power, and the vassal king was not allowed to intervene in the government affairs, otherwise he would encounter the most severe investigation and punishment, but later Su Tiancheng changed the situation, from the perspective of maintaining imperial power, prompting the court to allow the vassal king to participate in political affairs.

How will the Great Jin Dynasty treat the establishment of the crown prince, Zhu Xianxuan and others have no bottom in their hearts, and they don't know how to operate, the establishment of the crown prince can be described as one of the most important things in the Great Jin Dynasty, and there must not be the slightest negligence, but in the matter of establishing the crown prince, the civil and military ministers in the court can not easily interfere, otherwise they will be suspicious of the emperor, which will eventually lead to a tragic ending.

I don't know how many prominent civil and military ministers in Lu Dao did, because they interfered in the establishment and support of the crown prince, and finally the family was ruined, and even the entire family was destroyed.

Although Zhu Xianxuan's identity is extraordinary, he is equally tight-lipped about the canonization of the crown prince.

The rest of the ministers of civil and military affairs also looked at the emperor. Although they also know that the crown prince must be Su Mingjie, whether it is from the perspective of personal wisdom, the identity of the mother, or the rules of the dynasty to establish the long and not the young.

In the matter of establishing the crown prince, Su Tiancheng also has a lot of thinking. This kind of situation in the world, with the development of history, will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated, but the elimination of this system, it also takes time, needs history to develop to a certain extent, and can not be in a hurry, it is estimated that within a hundred years, this situation will continue.

Su Tiancheng is not very in favor of this kind of family situation. But he can't find a more suitable way, in fact, it is not a good thing to let his family fall into the game of power, no one dares to guarantee that his family will always be wise, if there is a scum among the future heirs, or a faint king, the blow to the country and the dynasty is very big.

Manage people with systems. Including using the system to manage things, it is simple to say. However, the continuation of thousands of years of history, including the education of Confucianism, makes it difficult to implement this situation of using the system to restrain everything, and the rule of man still occupies a dominant position, and this situation still exists hundreds of years later.

Just like the sentence in the opening chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There are always some things in history that are fixed, and manpower can change some of these habits, but it is impossible to stop the progress of the entire history.

After figuring out these things. Su Tiancheng still made up his mind and made himself the crown prince.

Thirty-year-old Su Tiancheng is in the prime of life, and his psychological age has reached an astonishing hundreds of years, with such a guarantee, Su Tiancheng can also do his best to change some bad habits and understandings in his lifetime.

When Su Tiancheng entered the palace, many of Zhu Youzhen's concubines had already moved away, but the only one left was Queen Yi'an, who lived in Renshou Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, Su Tiancheng specially instructed everyone not to disturb Queen Yi'an, in fact, Queen Yi'an's health was already very bad, and it is estimated that she would not live long.

After Zhu Xianxin entered the palace, he lived in Kunning Palace, and Su Mingjie temporarily followed, if Su Mingjie was canonized as the crown prince, he would move to Ciqing Palace to live, in order to show his identity as the prince.

Su Tiancheng did not work in the Yangxin Palace, he followed the advice of Zhu Xianxuan and others, and acted in the Qianqing Palace, which was originally the place where the emperor dealt with daily government affairs.

The prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty and the six Shangshu all arrived at the Qianqing Palace, except for Xu Eryi, the imperial envoy of the right capital, who was still in Nanjing, and would not rush to the capital until he had trained many officials.

Everyone knows that this time when they go to the Qianqing Palace, they must discuss big things.

Su Tiancheng also got straight to the point, and directly talked about the canonization of the crown prince.

"I summoned you today, mainly to establish the crown prince, the crown prince is the prince of a country, the status is extraordinary, many dynasties in the past, including the daimyo court, are secretive about the appointment of the prince, many people think that this is the emperor's family affairs, the minister of civil and military affairs can not easily speak, I don't think so."

"The prince of a country, the status is prominent, the responsibility is important, related to the rise and fall of the dynasty, and you and the people are closely related, so the canonization of the crown prince, must consult many opinions, such rules, in the future must be established as a system, the history of the faint monarch, you all know, the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the eunuch decided the emperor candidate, which led to the destruction of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also because of the need for power, casually abolished the prince, Zhao Gao and Li Si of the Qin Dynasty, You are also clear that the Great Qin Empire was completely destroyed in the hands of Qin II. ”

"My meaning is very clear, and I hope that you will express your opinions with a fair heart and help me determine the selection of the crown prince......"

After Su Tiancheng spoke, the hall fell into silence.

Su Tiancheng, who sighed in his heart, knew that with only a few words, it was impossible to change his understanding and habits for thousands of years.

In fact, he has already paid attention to it, but some things are unavoidable, for example, Zhu Xianxin is the queen, Zhu Xianxuan is Shang Shuling, the head of the cabinet, and the head of a hundred officials, this kind of power is amazing, all over the world, except for him Su Tiancheng dared to criticize directly, the rest of the people definitely did not dare to say anything, even if it was a lot of prime ministers, they would not put forward their opinions at will.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Su Tiancheng was helpless and continued to speak.

"My opinion, Su Mingjie can be canonized as the crown prince, I don't know if you have any other opinions."

A flash of a smile appeared on Zhu Xianxuan's face, but in this matter, he would not speak, after all, Zhu Xianxin is his sister, Su Mingjie is his own nephew, and he is the head of a hundred officials.

Zhu Xianxuan didn't speak, and Yang Sichang, the second assistant of the cabinet, spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's very suitable."

Yang Sichang expressed his opinion, and the rest of the people followed suit, but Zhu Xianxuan still didn't speak in the end.

Su Tiancheng looked at Zhu Xianxuan and spoke with a serious face.

"You have no other opinions, I think it's decided like this, Su Mingjie's canonization ceremony will be carried out in two days, and then follow me and the queen to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth."

"But I have other ideas, as the crown prince, the prince of a country, you can't always stay in the palace, don't understand the suffering of the people, how to govern the country in the future, Su Mingjie is not very old, but he has already followed the relevant government affairs, I see this time, learning is still the main thing, you can discuss, invite a gentleman for Su Mingjie, you must do a good education, and when Su Mingjie reaches the age of fifteen, he will leave the palace and go outside to experience for a while, Then he entered many departments of the imperial court, began to act in charge of government affairs, and gradually became familiar with many situations......"

Back in Kunning Palace, Zhu Xianxin was guiding Su Mingjie to study, after entering the palace, Su Mingjie was very curious about everything, the palace in the capital was much bigger than the palace in Nanjing, and the nature of a child made Su Mingjie can't help but want to take a look around, plus Su Tiancheng's management was not very strict before, and he didn't want the child to become an old boy too early.

Su Tiancheng's expression was very serious, seeing Su Tiancheng's expression, Zhu Xianxin knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Su Mingjie to stand in front of his father.

"Su Mingjie, for my father today I have discussed with many ministers, and decided to canonize you as the crown prince, this matter is very important, the meaning of it, you are not very clear for a while, but you have to remember that from now on, you may not have as much time to play as your younger brothers and sisters, you must strengthen your study, and soon there will be a gentleman who will teach you to read, you have to bear a lot of pressure that you should not bear at your age, and my father hopes that you can face it calmly......"

As soon as Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Zhu Xianxin pulled Su Mingjie to kneel in front of him.

"The concubines will definitely be strict with the crown prince, and I implore the emperor to help the crown prince in his busy schedule."

Su Tiancheng hurriedly helped Zhu Xianxin up.

"The queen doesn't have to be like this, mother and son are connected, there are too many things for me, there are too many negligences in discipline, and there will be a lot of things for me in the future, in terms of education, the queen has to worry a lot, I don't have so many requirements, but the requirements for Jie'er are definitely different, as the prince of a country, Jie'er will bear too many things, this is not a ...... he needs to bear at his age"

Zhu Xianxin was still immersed in great joy, although she was said to be the queen, but the mother was more expensive than the child, which was the rule for thousands of years, so she didn't experience the sigh in Su Tiancheng's words in time. (To be continued......)
