Xia Xun said indignantly: "Although Yang Xu is young, he is still a minister who has been serving as a servant since the time of Taizu. Speaking of which, like many old ministers in the palace, he can be regarded as a minister of the two dynasties. When Taizu was there, Yang Xu was
I have never seen the chaos in the court reach such an extent. Even if the emperor is kind, you adults should not be so disrespectful. Where can I, the emperor, be put in such a noisy position?"
If you really want to talk about it, Xia Xun is actually a veteran of three dynasties. However, Emperor Yongle did not recognize the Jianwen Dynasty. Although this period of history cannot be avoided, it cannot be mentioned officially, so Xia Xun had to suffer a lot.
The ground became a veteran of two dynasties. Chen Ying almost fainted with anger: It was obviously you who started this matter, why do you act like nothing is wrong?
Because Zhu Di was not in the right position according to feudal etiquette, he, like Li Shimin, was obsessed with making achievements and surpassing his father and ancestors to prove that his kingship was granted by heaven and was legitimate and orthodox. Xia Xun's words hit him right where it hurts.
His original displeasure really broke out. He darkened his face, looked at the ministers coldly, and asked: "What do you think of what Yang Xu, Dao Yan, and Xie Jin said?"
The current Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is called Lu Zhen. His advantage is that he is knowledgeable and has a strong memory, but he is a flatterer and is good at speculation. When he sat on the throne of Shangshu, it was when Zhu Gaoxu was in great power. Lu Zhen weighed it and decided
After joining Zhu Gaoxu's sect, when he heard what Xia Xun said, he was worried that the master he was protecting would lose power, so he immediately objected fiercely and shouted the loudest.
Because he was a first-class life officer, standing at the front, Zhu Di could see it most clearly. At this time, Zhu Di's cold eyes fell on him. Lu Zhen suddenly realized that he should not be the one who was in the spotlight, but it was too late to shrink back now.
, Lu Zhen carefully planned it, then bowed down and said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, I think that your Majesty is in the prime of life and in his prime of life, so he is not in a hurry to discuss the matter of becoming the crown prince."
Xie Jin immediately refuted: "The title "chujun" lies in the word "chu". What does it have to do with the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period? In the past, my Taizu Emperor Gao called him King of Wu, and then made his eldest son the crown prince; the next year, my Taizu Emperor Gao
The emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and then made Yi Shizi the prince. That year, my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, was similar in age to the current emperor, and he was also in his prime! Now the emperor has been in the imperial throne for three years, and the youngest prince is already over eighteen years old. Why?
Can’t you establish a prince?”
Xie Jin's words were stern, and it was indeed true. Moreover, he cited Taizu as an example. Lu Zhen, who always followed the trend and acted according to the prevailing situation, was embarrassed and did not dare to say anything.
Chen Ying finally seized the opportunity, coughed, and went out to announce: "Your Majesty, I agree with the words of the Duke of Fuguo! But I don't agree with what the Grand Scholar Xie said. The eldest son of the Emperor has an old leg disease and is weak.
, this is a well-known thing. The king of a country works hard at night and day, taking care of everything. How can he bear such an important responsibility with the physical condition of the eldest son? On the other hand, the second prince is not the same. The second prince is brave and military, resembles your majesty, and has outstanding literary talent.
Only when a prince with both civil and military skills like this is established as the crown prince of the country can the world be at peace, the people's hearts be at ease, and the country's rule be ensured for a long time to come. Therefore, I believe that the second prince should be made the crown prince!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
…
The big brother who took the lead finally spoke, and a group of younger brothers immediately caught up to express their agreement.
This is a consistent trick of Chen Ying's faction. If you can delay it, drag it. If you can't, muddy the waters. In short, first delay the eldest prince's appointment of the heir. If it is delayed once, the eldest prince's status will be shaken.
, one day, he can be replaced by the second prince.
Master Daoyan clasped his hands together and said loudly: "Taizu's teachings: 'The crown prince of a country should be established by his direct eldest son. If there is no prince in the court, he must be born to his eldest brother.
If a treacherous minister abandons his direct descendant and establishes a concubine, the commoner must stay still and send a letter to report to the direct descendant who should be appointed as the direct descendant. The three princes now are all the direct descendants of the empress, which is consistent with the theory of establishing direct descendants. However,
According to Taizu’s teachings, there is still a saying that the direct descendants will be the most powerful, so the eldest prince should be the heir apparent!"
Establish direct lineage, establish feudal orthodoxy!
How powerful is it?
During the Tumubao Incident, Zhu Qizhen was kidnapped 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 beloved concubine Hang gave birth to a child for him.
The son was named Zhu Jianji. Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed and wanted to make his own son the prince. However, Zhou Huanxiang, the concubine of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, had already given birth to a son for the Supreme Emperor, who was later named Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qiyu was the emperor who was appointed to be the emperor when he was in danger, so forget it. The elder brother will eventually die, but the younger brother will succeed him. This is the ancestral motto. Although the elder brother is not dead, he was kidnapped by the enemy. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and he has no sons, so naturally he should
He was succeeded by his younger brother. However, according to the royal succession order of direct descendants, Zhu Jianshen was the eldest son and eldest grandson of the late emperor, but he, the son of the current emperor, was the second son and eldest grandson of the late emperor, so he should be ranked behind.
Just because of this, a shocking and rare farce in Chinese history began. The emperor wanted to send people to the cabinet bachelors and the six ministers and nine ministers. The important officials of the court gave gifts one by one and begged them in a low voice to express their support for his son to become the prince. That's it.
, there were still many ministers who did not show any respect at all, which made Zhu Qiyu so weak that he used his imperial staff again, making the whole court a mess.
Therefore, Dao Yan's words are quite powerful, but in the past, because everyone avoided the taboo of the current emperor, they were reluctant to mention this matter. Because although Zhu Yunwen is not the authentic legitimate son and eldest grandson, the real legitimate son and grandson is 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. His mother was Prince Zhu Biao's concubine, Mrs. Lu. Prince Zhu Biao's wife Chang died after giving birth to Zhu Yunxi. At this time, Zhu Yunwen's son was
His mother, Lu, was Fuzheng. According to the strict system of the imperial family, although Zhu Yunwen's mother was Fuzheng, the most authentic legitimate son was still Zhu Yunxi. In the patriarchal system, the status of the two was too far apart. Zhu Yunwen became the crown prince, which was equivalent to
In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Huan takes Jia Baoyu's seat!
It’s just that Zhu Biao’s concubine Chang is the daughter of the founding general Chang Yuchun. Zhu Yunxi’s grandfather is Chang Yuchun, his great-uncle is Lan Yu, Zheng Guogong Chang Mao is his uncle! The founding Duke Chang Sheng is his second uncle! Feng
Most of the more than 20 famous founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, including Sheng Sheng, Fu Youde, and others, were related to each other by marriage. How big do you think his backing was?
But because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more jealous. In addition, Zhu Yunwen was taught by Huang Zicheng and was good at pretending to be a filial grandson in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was so filial that he didn't even look like a human being. When the prince Zhu Biao died, he cried so hard that he could not stop crying.
Ri refused to eat, and Lao Zhu was moved to tears by the loss of his beloved son, and the throne fell to him.
As a result, when Lao Zhu passed away, Zhu Yunwen, who no longer needed to pretend to be visible to others, did not even have enough time to cry, not to mention the hunger strike. He prevented his grandfather's sons from returning to Beijing for the funeral, and did not wait for the end of the emperor's funeral.
He buried Lao Zhu in a hurry, then overturned his promise to his grandfather, and started to beat his uncles to death in a hurry. Lao Zhu never rubbed dirt in his eyes, and Lin Lao was deceived by calling him a good grandson.
Although later people felt that Zhu Di's succession to the throne was unethical, so they praised Zhu Yunwen lavishly. In fact, when Zhu Yunwen was appointed as the prince, the ministers in the court were also dissatisfied. They thought that Zhu Yunwen's name was unfair, but it was only because of Zhu Yuanzhang's strength that he could do it at every turn.
If you want to kill someone, kill him and make him a river of blood. No one has the guts to scream in front of him.
There is a folk legend that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Yunwen the crown prince was because Zhu Yunwen was the illegitimate son born from an affair between him and his daughter-in-law Lu. Of course, this is pure nonsense, but the reason why such rumors appeared is precisely because Zhu Yunwen was not qualified to be the prince.
As for the emperor, people more qualified than him are still there, so he attracts criticism.
Now that Zhu Yunzhen has been "died", but the true legitimate son and grandson of Miao Hong, Zhu Yunxi, is still alive, and is now under house arrest in Fengyang. When Zhu Di was about to ascend the throne, so many ministers opposed it, and what they advocated is:
You said you were Jingnan, yes! Now you are Jingnan, and the current emperor is dead. Please return the throne to his true heir!
Because of this, when the court was discussing the matter of establishing a crown prince, people from both factions did not dare to use Taizu's words to discuss the matter, for fear of offending the emperor's heart. If he accidentally touched the tiger's butt,
Then it would be completely over. This was the first time that Dao Yan had gone to court to propose a crown prince. With his personal relationship with Zhu Di as a teacher and friend, he was not afraid of this. But he dared to say it, others did not dare to say it, and even if he knew it,
This sentence can be used to make a big fuss, but no one dares to use it.
I remember when Tie Xuan guarded Jinan and offered Taizu's memorial tablet on the city wall. Zhu Di's rebellion was risking his own life and family. Even with such serious consequences, he did not dare to bombard the city with cannons. Now Dao Yan
Taking advantage of his special status, he brought out the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty that no one else dared to use even if they wanted to use them. It was no less than Tie Xuan placing Taizu's spirit at the top of the city. Who would dare to attack it?
Chen Ying secretly complained bitterly. He had already expressed his agreement to establish the throne, but the damn bald donkey quoted the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. If he quoted any saint's words from the ancient Zhou rites, Chen Ying dared to refute it, but the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang
How could he refute what he had said personally? Chen Ying was arrogant, with thousands of words stuck on her tongue, but she was worried that it was Taizu's legacy and did not dare to refute.
Xia Xun had already seized this opportunity and took the lead to salute Zhu Di and shouted: "Since ancient times, when emperors ruled the world, they must respect the Heavenly Patriarch as their first priority. The respect for the Heavenly Patriarch is based on the sincerity of the heart and cannot be missed. I established the crown prince,
The urgent task at hand is to establish the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince. This is the ancestral teaching. It is in line with the will of heaven and the people's will. I invite you, your majesty, to establish the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
The boys on Xia Xun's side were busy waving flags and shouting.
"emperor!"
Chen Ying was anxious, knowing that as long as the emperor just said "yes", everything would be over. She hurriedly lifted her robe and knelt down, begging: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a crown prince is a major matter for the country. Please think twice about what I have said. If the Emperor
If you are determined to establish a throne, please think twice before doing so, at least... at least make the decision tomorrow!"
Xia Xun glanced at him and thought to himself: "Is this old thief Chen Ying going to ask Zhu Gaoxu to play the big-eared thief Liu Bei again, so that he can cry in front of the emperor?"
He guessed correctly, Chen Ying had exactly this idea...
