"How can this be, how can there be a reason for the prince to come to the court, the country can't be without a king for a day, you still want to be without a king for thirteen years, isn't this a joke.

In case something happens to Jiangshan Sheji.

Can you afford it?

You're not a spy sent by an enemy country, are you? ”

Compared with the death of the father and the succession of the son, the saying that the country cannot be without a king for a day is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so after listening to the words of the Ministry of Rites, Zong Zhengwei Chunhan immediately refuted it, and even began to question the identity of the Ministry of Rites.

Although the three princes standing next to Zongzheng did not stand up to speak, their faces were also a little bad for each other, and even showed a trace of anxiety, they finally had another chance to compete for the throne, if they lost because of these literati, wouldn't they have to vomit to death.

It's a pity that they can't refute it at all now for the sake of avoiding suspicion and other considerations.

He could only glare at the Ministry of Rites with his eyes.

"Zongzheng, don't talk nonsense and slander!

This is the palace of the court, not a Zhao prison that can frame a hundred officials at will, I don't know how many bribes you received from those three princes to say such unconscionable words, but my meaning is very clear, in the case of Your Majesty's no mistake and bloodline, the new emperor must be Your Majesty's bloodline.

This is the opinion of the Officer.

It is also the opinion of the Minister of the DPRK and China!

Please also ask the Empress Dowager to call the shots. ”

At this time, it was time to gang up, so after finishing speaking, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately bowed to Qiao Mu, who was watching the play on the side, and pulled her into the water.

Then the officials who followed him and belonged to the same family, but they felt that what he said made sense, they all saluted Qiao Mu, and jointly said that they asked the Empress Dowager to call the shots, and looked at Qiao Mu.

In his opinion, he has promised to let the Empress Dowager hang the curtain and listen to the government, so the Empress Dowager should also be on his side, if the Empress Dowager is on his side, then he can take advantage of the situation to bring the Empress Dowager's father, that is, the military generals and nobles of Yin Guogong's lineage.

At that time, if the royal Zongzheng wanted to oppose it again, they would oppose the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

It's a pity that the wish of the original body is completely opposite to their position, so under the eyes of everyone, either expecting or worried, Qiao Mu sat there directly and shook his head, and whispered to the Ministry of Rites:

"After all, this matter is a major matter of government and government, and it is really not suitable for the mourning family to be mixed, so it is better for the ministers to discuss with each other, but in less than two years, two of my majesty have died.

The next emperor should still be carefully chosen.

Otherwise, the rotation of the imperial throne is too fast, and it is very likely that the surrounding small countries will think that our dynasty is unstable and have some thoughts that should not have been.

Therefore, I also ask you to put the country's social interests first, and not to get involved in personal desires and factional disputes. ”

Although Qiao Mu said at the beginning that she shouldn't be involved, her words were still relatively inclined to Zongzheng's side, and she said these words now.

is also reminding Zong Zhengwei of Chunhan.

After receiving Qiao Mu's reminder, Wei Chunhan immediately bowed to Qiao Mu and said:

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true.

His Majesty's son was born prematurely, and it is well known that he was born with only four catties and eight taels, and now although he has been raised to one year old, he will still get sick from time to time, and he needs to use various precious medicinal materials to recuperate, this body, how to be the emperor?

I'm not afraid to say something disrespectful.

Whether the eldest prince can reach adulthood, or even whether he can successfully record his name in the genealogy, is a question.

And why should he say that he should succeed to the throne?

Now the government can't stand the toss.

I can't stand the death of another majesty.

When the first emperor died last year, the northwest barbarians attacked on a large scale, and the chaos of the southeast Tu people is still vivid, until last month, which barely subsided, and now His Majesty has died, I don't know how much chaos will happen on both sides, so we must choose a new emperor who is virtuous and elder.

It is also good to preside over the overall situation and defend against foreign enemies. ”

Indeed, whether it is a royal family or an ordinary family of nobles, the heirs of the family are not allowed to go to the family tree if they are under the age of three, because no one can say whether the child can live past the age of three, and some more stringent may set the age at five years old.

Now they call the prince.

It's just that there is no genealogy yet.

The infant mortality rate is still very high in this year, especially in the palace, the first emperor gave birth to twenty-three princes, and only eighteen survived in the end, and only seven of them have survived until now, only seven are adults, and only two are minors, so you can imagine the high mortality rate, and now this prince who has just turned one year old, the ghost knows how long he can live.

If you really want to hurt him.

You can let him die casually.

As Zong Zheng's remarks blurted out.

Originally, some officials who did not support him, or even opposed him, even the royal side.

At this time, I couldn't help but bow my head and ponder.

Start thinking about the pros and cons.

and what can be done to benefit the dynasty.

However, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu obviously would not admit defeat easily, and he soon joined forces with the Taiwei Xiangguo and others around him, and continued to raise various objections using ancient books such as the righteousness of the national dynasty.

In the end, it was a ninety-six-year-old old prince from the royal family, who was two levels higher than Qiao Mu and the same generation as Emperor Huiling's grandfather, and stepped up to revive the mud:

"This king thinks what Zongzheng said makes sense.

The country really can't stand the toss, if the emperor really dies frequently, not only will it not be beneficial to the country, but it will also be of no benefit to the people, and it will even increase the burden on the people, but if the eldest prince is deprived of the right to inherit, it is indeed a little inappropriate, in my opinion, it is better to take a step back.

Let's choose a new gentleman first.

Then let the new monarch crown the eldest prince as the crown prince.

If the eldest prince grows up smoothly in the future, and his virtues are good, and he can be the emperor, then let the eldest prince succeed to the throne as the crown prince.

Although there are some problems with doing so.

But this is already the best solution I can think of, and now that the government is unstable, if we can't decide on a new monarch as soon as possible, it will be harmful to everyone, what do you think? ”

Although his proposal was not entirely in line with the interests of both sides, it did not completely deny the interests of both sides, so in the end, when they could not make a complete decision, they could only choose the old prince's suggestion, and added a lot of rules and restrictions on the basis of this proposal.

to protect the prince's safety.

But this is not the end, this is just the solution of the first contradiction, which prince should be chosen as the new emperor next, it is estimated that there is still a fight.
