Chapter 26 Chapter 131 Who dares to blast the city?

Xia Xun said indignantly: "Although Yang Xu is young, he was also a courtier who served on duty during the Taizu's time. Speaking of which, like many old courtiers in the palace, he was considered a minister of the two dynasties. When the Taizu was around, Yang Xu never saw him." The chaos in the court hall has reached such a level, even if the emperor is kind, you adults should not be so ignorant of the emperor, so noisy, where do I put my emperor? To be honest, Xia Xun is actually a veteran of the three dynasties, but Emperor Yongle did not recognize the Jianwen Dynasty. Although this period of history cannot be avoided, it must not be mentioned officially, so Xia Xun had to suffer a lot. He became a veteran of the two dynasties.Chen Ying was about to faint from anger: You were the one who provoked it, why are you acting like nothing happened?

According to the feudal etiquette, Zhu Di's position was improper, so he, like Li Shimin, was obsessed with making meritorious deeds and surpassing his father and ancestors, in order to prove that his monarchy was granted by heaven. The original displeasure really broke out, he turned his face down, swept the officials coldly, and asked: What do you think about what Yang Xu, Dao Yan, and Xie Jin said? Today's minister of the Ministry of Justice is called Lu Zhen. This person's strength is his knowledge and memorization, but he is flattering and dangerous, and good at speculation.When he sat on the throne of Shangshu, it was the time when Zhu Gaoxu was powerful. After weighing it, Lu Zhen voted for Zhu Gaoxu's sect. Just now, when he heard what Xia Xun said, he was worried that the master he was protecting would lose power, so he immediately opposed it fiercely and shouted the loudest. loudly.

Because he is a first-rank official, standing in the front, Zhu Di can see the most clearly. At this time, Zhu Di cast his cold eyes on him, and Lu Zhen suddenly realized that he shouldn't be this early bird, but it was too late to shrink back at this time. Lu Zhen made his preparations carefully, then bowed down, and said after deliberation: Your majesty, I think that your majesty is in the prime of life, just in the prime of life, and he is not in a hurry to discuss the matter of the crown prince. Xie Jin immediately retorted: "The crown prince is the crown prince because of a single word, what does it have to do with your majesty's age and prosperity?"In the past, my Taizu Emperor Gao proclaimed himself King of Wu, and then he made his eldest son the eldest son; the next year, my Taizu Gao Emperor ascended the pole and proclaimed himself Emperor, and then he made the eldest son the crown prince.In that year, my Taizu, Emperor Gao, was about the same age as the current Shengshang, and he was also a mature man!Now the emperor has been in power for three years, and the youngest prince is over eighteen years old, why can't he be crowned prince?

Xie Jinyi's speech was strict, and what he said was indeed reasonable. Moreover, he cited the Taizu as an example. Lu Zhen, who had always followed the trend and followed the wind, was so stubborn that he didn't dare to speak. Chen Ying finally seized the opportunity, coughed, and went out of the class to play: Your Majesty, the words of the Fuguo Public Reserve, the minister seconded it!But I don't agree with what Xie Dashi said.It is well known that the eldest son of the emperor has old leg diseases and is weak.The king of a country sleeps all day long and takes care of everything. With the physical condition of the eldest son of the emperor, how can he take on such an important task?On the other hand, the second prince is not the case. The second prince is brave, looks like His Majesty, and has outstanding literary talents. It seems that such a prince with both civil and military skills can be established as the heir of the country. , I believe that the second prince should be established as the crown prince!

The minister seconded! The minister seconded! The big brother who took the lead finally spoke, and a group of younger brothers immediately caught up to express their agreement. This is Chen Ying's consistent tactic. If you can procrastinate, you can procrastinate, and if you can't procrastinate, you will confuse the water. In short, first delay the matter of the eldest prince's establishment of the crown prince. If you procrastinate once, the position of the eldest prince will be shaken. , One day, the second prince can be replaced. Master Daoyan clasped his hands together, and said in a loud voice: Taizu's legacy: the heir of a country should establish a heir and an elder.Where there is no prince in the imperial court, the elder brother must be born to the younger brother, and the son of the aunt's mother must be established, although the son of the concubine's mother cannot be established.If treacherous ministers abandon their son-in-law and establish a son-in-law, the son-in-law must keep his position and not move, and send a letter to report to the son-in-law who should be established, so that the son-in-law will come to the throne.The three princes today are all descendants of the empress's empress, which is in line with the theory of establishing a descendant, but the legacy of the Taizu still has the saying that the descendant is neutral and the elder, so the eldest prince should be the heir apparent!

Establishing a descendant and establishing a leader, feudal orthodoxy! How powerful is it? During the Tumubao Change, Zhu Qizhen was taken away by Wala, and his younger brother Zhu Qiyu became the emperor.Later, Zhu Qizhen was sent back and became the Supreme Emperor. In the third year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu's favorite concubine Hang gave birth to a son for him, named Zhu Jianji. Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed and wanted to make his own son the crown prince, but Zhou Huanxiang, the concubine of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, gave birth to a son a month earlier than his concubine, who was later Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Qiyu is the emperor who was ordered to be the emperor when he was in danger, so that's fine, brother will die, this is the ancestor's precept, although the brother is not dead, but he was taken captive by the enemy country, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and he has no son, so naturally he should He was succeeded by his younger brother.However, according to the succession order of the royal family, Zhu Jianshen is the eldest son and grandson of the first emperor, while he, the current emperor's son, is the second son and eldest grandson of the first emperor, so he should be ranked behind.

For this reason, a shocking and rare farce in Chinese history was staged. The emperor wanted to send someone to give gifts to the cabinet scholars, the six ministries, and the important officials of the court one by one, and humbly begged them to express their support for their son as the crown prince. That's it. There were still many ministers who didn't give face at all, and Zhu Qiyu was so soft that he used the court stick to beat the court into a mess. So Dao Yan's words are quite powerful, but in the past because everyone avoided the taboo of the current emperor, they were not willing to mention this matter.Because although Zhu Yunqi is not the authentic son and grandson, but the real son and grandson are still alive, that is Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunwen was born early and was the first son of Prince Zhu Biao, but he was a concubine, and his mother was Prince Zhu Biao's side concubine Lu, and Prince Zhu Biao's wife, Chang, died after giving birth to Zhu Yunxi. Lu's righting.According to the strict system of the emperor's family, although Zhu Yunxuan's mother has been restored, the most authentic son is still Zhu Yunxi.In the patriarchal system, the status of the two is too far apart. Zhu Yunqi became the crown prince, which is equivalent to Jia Huan occupying Jia Baoyu's seat in "A Dream of Red Mansions"!

However, Zhu Biao's official concubine, Chang's, was the daughter of the founding general Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yunxi's grandpa was Chang Yuchun, his uncle was Lan Yu, and Zheng Guogong Chang Mao was his uncle!The founding father Chang Sheng is his second uncle!Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and more than 20 famous founding generals of the Ming Empire are mostly related to each other by marriage. How big do you think his background is? But because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more jealous. In addition, Zhu Yunwen was instructed by Huang Zicheng to be good at acting as a filial grandson in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. He refused to eat every day, and moved the old Zhu who had lost his beloved son to tears. The throne fell on his head.

As a result, when Lao Zhu passed away, Zhu Yunqi, who no longer needed to pretend to be seen by others, stopped talking about hunger strike, and didn’t even have enough time to cry. Here, he prevented the grandpa’s sons from returning to Beijing for the funeral. They buried Lao Zhu hastily, then overturned the guarantee to his grandfather, and began to punish his uncles impatiently. Don't look at the fact that later people felt that Zhu Di's succession was not in accordance with the law, so they praised Zhu Yunqi. Killing people, killing people, blood flowing into rivers, no one has the guts to shout in front of him. According to the folklore, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Zhu Yunqi as the prince was because Zhu Yunqi was the illegitimate son born of an affair with his daughter-in-law Lu. The emperor, someone more qualified than him is still there, that's why people criticize him. Now Zhu Yunxuan set himself on fire, but Zhu Yunxiu, the true son and grandson of Genzheng Miaohong, is still alive, and is now under house arrest in Fengyang by the emperor.When Zhu Di was about to ascend the throne, so many courtiers objected, and what they advocated was: You say you are Jing Nan, and you succeed!Now that you are in trouble, and the current emperor is dead, you can return the throne to the real heir! Because of this, when the court was discussing the establishment of the crown prince, people from the two factions did not dare to use Taizu's words to talk about the matter, for fear of committing the emperor's heart disease, if they accidentally touched the tiger's butt, Then it's all over.This is the first time for Daoyan to discuss the establishment of a crown prince, and he is not afraid of this because of his personal relationship with Zhu Di who is both a teacher and a friend.But he dares to say it, others dare not say it, and even if he knows that this sentence can be used to make a big fuss, no one dares to use it. Thinking back when Tie Xuan guarded Jinan and offered the emperor's spiritual throne to the city wall, Zhu Di risked his life and family when he rebelled. With such serious consequences, he dared not bombard the city with cannons. Now Dao Yan Taking advantage of his special status, he moved out the emperor's ancestral precepts that others wanted to use but did not dare to use, no less than Tie Xuan standing at the top of the city, who would dare to bombard him? Chen Ying secretly groaned, he had already expressed his agreement to establish a reserve, but this dead bald donkey moved out of the emperor's ancestral precepts, if he quoted some sage's oracle, Chen Ying dared to refute it, but Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang How can he refute what he said in person?Chen Ying murmured, thousands of words were condensed on the tip of her tongue, but she dared not refute because she was concerned that it was the legacy of the Taizu. Xia Xun had already seized this opportunity, took the lead to salute Zhu Di, and shouted: Since ancient times, emperors ruled the world with respect to the ancestors of Heaven and Dharma as their top priority.But respecting the ancestors of heaven and Dharma is based on the sincerity of the heart, and there is no room for a breath.Establishing a crown prince is a top priority; establishing the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince is the legacy of the ancestors. It is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people. I beg your majesty to make the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince! The minister seconded! The minister seconded! The younger brothers on Xia Xun's side hurriedly waved their flags and shouted. emperor! Chen Ying was in a hurry, knowing that as long as the emperor said yes, the situation would be over, she hurriedly pulled up her robe and knelt down, begging: "Your Majesty, please think twice about what you have said about the important affairs of the country, the establishment of the crown prince."If the emperor decides to establish a crown prince, please think twice, at least he will make the holy order tomorrow! Xia Xun glanced at him, and thought, "Chen Ying, this old thief, is he going to ask Zhu Gaoxu to pretend to be the big-eared thief Liu Bei again, and go to cry in front of the emperor?" He really guessed right, Chen Ying had exactly this idea
