Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh: Prince Chitose
A certain opposition is a sin of unforgivable for any emperor, but there is no doubt about this.
Every emperor often has different attitudes towards rebellion, but the Ming emperors in the three modern dynasties have different personalities, and their methods of treating such things will most likely be very different. If it were Emperor Hongzhi, he would probably be worried. What? Then he would be unable to issue an edict to punish himself and severely punish the rebellious party. But if it were Zhengde, he would probably jump three feet high and wait for so long. All he wanted was that you would treason and rebellion and not cause any trouble. The emperor's life would not be good.
As for Jiajing... this time, this rebellion caused him to feel heartbroken. Because this rebellion caused him to despair of the so-called immortality technique, which completely changed his values. Of course, it also aroused the last trace of resentment that he suppressed.
It is tolerant, but who is tolerant?
"From now on, we must thoroughly investigate all the eunuchs, guards, and ministers involved in this matter. Anyone involved will be executed. No one must be kept, but......" Jiajing looked at Xu Qian deeply and said lightly: "You are already in trouble now, and there are too many criticisms from all over the world. I will not let you do this. Let Huang Jin come. He is also very good at killing."
After pausing, Jiajing said again: "I am not healthy anymore. I don't know how long I can live. Although I have not reached the point of arranging my funerals, I really try my best to make some arrangements. You don't have to worry about it. I guarantee you no worries."
When he said this, Jiajing seemed to have made up his mind.
He is not a person who trusts others. In this world, he doubts his relatives, his ministers, and the nobles and eunuchs in the palace. Everyone is within his doubts. He is mean and ruthless, which is a true portrayal of Emperor Jiajing. Now, this personality is fully displayed. However, there are two people in this world who are now included in the ranks of people Jiajing trusts absolutely. One is Empress Dowager Zhang and the other is Xu Qian.
He felt that his body had been extremely damaged. Taking the elixir for a long time had already made him feel a little weak. In addition, Master Zhang Tian added a few more chronic poisons to the elixir a few days ago. In less than a month, his whole body collapsed. Although he had not yet reached the point of death, Jiajing knew it himself, so he had the idea of preparing for his funeral.
Xu Qian sighed and shook his head in his heart when he looked at Jiajing who was terminally ill.
No matter how cruel and ruthless you are, the truth in this world is always like this. No matter how evil a person is, he always has a gentle side. For example, Jiang Bin, although everyone hates him to the core, but if it were Jiang Bin's nephew or relative, he would probably think that Deputy General Jiang is a kind and good person.
That's true for Xu Qian. Jiajing was an absolute good person and a good emperor. He fully supported his new policy and paved many ways for himself. Several times Xu Qian suffered a blow and the new policy suffered setbacks, and Jiajing was responsible for him.
People have different perspectives and perspectives, so they naturally look at problems. Perhaps others see the most brutal side of Jiajing, but what Xu Qian sees is the most humane side of Jiajing.
Seeing Xu Qian silent, Jiajing comforted him: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not in a position for the time being. Go and call the officials."
Xu Qian nodded and turned around. Then, many ministers of "protective guards" came in one after another, headed by Yang Tinghe, and everyone saluted, saying, "I have seen Your Majesty, Long live my emperor. I am late to save the guard. I would like to forgive you."
A little smile appeared on Jiajing's face. The so-called rescue of these people can tell what happened with Jiajing's guess. However, now, he was not interested in exposing this and smiled slightly, "Very good, thank you for your hard work, I am safe for the time being, so don't be afraid."
After some understatement, Jiajing said again: "I have summoned you to come for two things. Today, let's just explain it clearly here."
In fact, before coming, everyone had guessed what expressions or thoughts Jiajing would have, but it was obvious that everyone miscalculated because Jiajing was not as angry as they imagined, nor was it as scared as they imagined, but a very calm attitude, as if nothing had happened just now.
In addition, it is even more strange that he mentioned that he wanted to talk about two things. Logically speaking, when encountering such a big change, His Majesty's order is so clear.
Not to mention that it was someone else, even Yang Tinghe could not help but look at Jiajing with admiration. However, he had no expression on his face and did not show any inappropriate expression. However, he was thinking in his heart, is His Majesty going to be prepared to entrust his orphan?
But Jiajing said, "The first thing is the matter of the crown prince. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, nor can it be without a monarch for a day. The crown prince is related to the continuation of the country and cannot be underestimated. Especially this palace change, it makes me understand that people have good fortune and good fortune every day. If something really happened to me today, what should the court do? What should the country do? What should I do with the foundation of my ancestors? So I thought about it. Although the prince Zhu Zaiji is still in a young age, I have been ordered to be the crown prince. What do you think?"
The crown prince is established...
Many ministers showed a little dissatisfaction on their faces.
For ministers, there are several red lines that cannot be touched, one of which is the heir system. One of the most important ones is the establishment of the legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate leg
Many emperors once had the idea of bypassing this system and establishing their own favorite princes. For example, Emperor Wen Zhu Di, he wanted to establish his youngest son, but soon, he was strongly opposed by the ministers. Even people like Zhu Di could not touch this red line, which shows how difficult it was. Since then, many emperors have had this idea, but most of them died in vain. The famous Concubine Wan, who wanted to change the prince when she was in great power, had no choice but to compromise with the officials.
Now, Jiajing demands that the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Zaiji be appointed as the crown prince in the name of the fate and fortune of a person. Jiajing does have only one son now, and this son was not born by the queen. Logically speaking, this is just a concubine's son. According to the ethics system, it is impossible for a concubine's son to have the right to inherit. This is the case with the royal family, even ordinary people. Can a concubine's son be inherited from his family property? If so, once someone imitates it, wouldn't it be a confusion?
Almost the first thought of everyone is to object.
Nobu is simply nobu. Although the queen has no son now, she will have a son sooner or later. Zhu Zaiji is the prince's honor and the eldest son, but how could he be the crown prince? What if one day the queen gave birth to a son? Then, would this serious eldest son be subordinated to the concubine's son?
Everyone's face looked ugly, and many people suddenly realized that this was a big problem and could not agree.
Moreover, many people were suspicious. Whether the emperor had something to do or not, he did not express his intention to eliminate the traitor, but why did he make a decision on the establishment of the prince?
Many people saw that Jiajing's face was not very good, but their attitude was firm. They could rest in poor health and the eldest son could not be reborn. However, now they have hastily made the eldest son Zhu Zaiji the crown prince, which is a great violation of the rules. Anyone who agrees at this time will be infamous for thousands of years.
Yang Tinghe said lightly: "What Your Majesty said is not unreasonable, but His Highness was born to the imperial concubine and was not the official palace. I think this matter must be discussed again by the elders."
Jiajing had an indescribable determination in his attitude. He said coldly: "My intention has been decided. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. I understand very clearly. Now is an extraordinary time, so naturally I cannot do it based on common sense."
Yang Tinghe bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter involves ethics and the old minister must not agree."
When he knelt down, he immediately knelt down a group of ministers, saying, "Please think twice."
Earlier, Jiajing had ordered someone to bring Zhu Zaiji over, so a wet nurse brought Zhu Zaiji in person. Zhu Zaiji was only half a year old, and as soon as she came in, she felt the serious atmosphere and cried so scared.
Jiajing waved to the wet nurse and said, "Come here to show me."
The prince hugged Jiajing. Jiajing looked at Zhu Zaiji deeply and said, "He is my flesh and blood. Is there any difference between flesh and blood? "
Zhu Zaiji seemed to feel Jiajing's deep love and stopped crying immediately. He looked at Jiajing up and down. Jiajing smiled slightly and said, "When I ascended the throne, my father wanted to build a ancestral temple, but the ministers refused to agree. Now I want to make my son the crown prince, but the ministers refused to agree. Could it be that there are closeness and distantness in this world, and there are also differences between different levels of flesh and blood?"
Xu Qian thought at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I want to see His Highness the Great Prince."
Jiajing nodded.
The wet nurse carried Zhu Zaiji to Xu Qian. Xu Qian looked closely and said, "I think the prince has a good fortune, and he will definitely be a virtuous king in the future."
After saying that, he fell to the ground without saying a word, kowtowed to Zhu Zaiji and said, "My minister Xu Qian, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince, Qiansui!"
