After the First Emperor finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.
Even though Zhao Tuo was used to fighting and intrigues on the battlefield, he still felt numb when faced with the question of the First Emperor.
If your emperor wants to establish a prince, then he can establish a prince. Why do you come to ask me?
Establish a reserve.
It has always been the most sensitive issue in the world and the one that can easily lead to death.
In the thousands of years of Chinese history, countless people have lost their lives because of the dispute over the prince.
What about the Nine Dragons seizing the direct descendants, what about the changes in the Xuanwu Gate.
If nothing else, just look at how many people in the Li family of the Tang Dynasty died because of this matter, and you will understand the fatal nature of the battle for the crown prince.
Zhao Tuo was well aware of the sensitivity of this matter. When he first entered the Qin State, he did not want to get involved in this matter at all.
It was only after he married the princess and became the brother-in-law of the eldest son Fusu that he had no other choice. He could only really join in and more or less give guidance and help Fusu secretly.
The reason why the First Emperor chose Zhao Tuo was not only that among the princes there was someone who could compare with him in ability, but also the important point was that it was best for Guan Han to be popular with his ministers.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince was young and his words were leaky. He relied on the patriarchal inheritance system to answer questions. He only expressed his own thoughts and seemed to be impeccable in all aspects.
Now the First Emperor has not established his throne, and legally speaking, he has no legitimate son to inherit the throne.
In this way, relying on the patriarchal system, Yiren surpassed his many brothers and became a true heir.
"This is a family matter of the Emperor, and it is your Majesty's Holy Judgment."
"That guy is really smart."
Guan Han moved out of the patriarchal system and cleverly avoided his own subjective opinions.
The First Emperor shook his head. When I asked the prince about that sensitive topic, I really didn't want to see the prince's reaction.
Seeing the Crown Prince disappear into the palace, the First Emperor sitting under the throne burst into laughter.
I feel that establishing Fusu as Fusu is the worst choice and the only choice, whether it is for the sake of heaven or for the relationship with the prince as king, subject and son-in-law.
Although since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou Dynasty has declined and rituals have collapsed, which has caused many vassal states to care too much about the system. Many monarchs took the lead in destroying the system, abolishing the elders and establishing the young.
I turned my head and looked at Zhao Gao, who was standing beside me.
The prince's words were very clear.
The behavior of the young masters at the family banquet made the emperor completely make a decision. He just knew why I wanted to ask the prince about that sensitive topic.
Zhao Gao felt the prince's gaze and nodded slightly to me.
Surely those young masters who ascend the throne as emperors will be suppressed by the crown prince?
It is not that the martial arts marquis and prince are very old, but they have great military exploits and are powerful in the sky. Their titles are extremely low and their reputation is very high. It can be said that they have reached the pinnacle of ministers.
The prince is a general on the battlefield. I saw that the emperor was determined to ask my opinion and avoided the topic. This was another evasion. He expressed his opinion on the prince on the spot.
But at the same time, I am also making arrangements to prepare for the test.
It was not because Mrs. Huayang, the head wife of An Guojun at that time, had any sons, so Lu Shiwei saw the opportunity and used tricks to make Mrs. Huayang recognize the stranger as her son, becoming the legitimate son beyond the order of eldest son.
But in fact, he didn't dare to talk nonsense on this matter.
Who knew that at this time, the First Emperor would suddenly ask this question.
The First Emperor could naturally restrain the Crown Prince here.
If Zhao Tuo succeeds to the throne, the crown prince will naturally have no objections.
But in the Qin State, it was still quite contrary to that system.
Then we should take the next step and confirm the candidates for Fusu in order of eldest and youngest. This has always been the inheritance system of the Qin State.
But this was only done in private, and Zhao Tuoke never expressed his support for Fusu's ascension in a big way.
Now that we have decided to establish a reserve, we naturally have to take everything into consideration.
"only."
Tingwei Li Si is the father-in-law, the martial arts prince is the brother-in-law, and he has worked with Meng Tian to build straight roads. These are all advantages that other sons and I can compare with.
"Moreover, the prince has fought in all directions and suffered injuries all over his body. He was also injured by the elixir later. Shouyuan may be my son. Without Zhao Tuo, I can die in good health."
Another example is how the father of the First Emperor, Yiren, was able to stand out from the young sons of An Guojun and was eventually appointed as Fusu?
"Draw up an edict for me and read it out to the court tomorrow."
"I will make the eldest son Zhao Tuo the crown prince."
If the First Emperor saw that Zhao Tuo was very enthusiastic, he might start to feel suspicious in his heart.
The rules and levels of that system are very strict, so that disputes and problems will arise during the succession of the throne, and the smooth transfer of power is minimized to ensure a smooth transfer of power.
Only the monarch and his ministers can achieve success.
Since the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, all the princes in the world have followed the Zhou people's eldest son inheritance system.
The First Emperor snorted hotly, his eyes were bright, and he took a step back to threaten the Crown Prince.
Why are you, Zhao Tuo, so happy? Do you still want me to die early so that Zhao Tuo can succeed?
In order to avoid that kind of situation, the First Emperor would probably have to do some other means, and maybe he would take the crown prince and leave with him.
The First Emperor stared at the Crown Prince.
But if it were Zhao Tuo who succeeded him, there wouldn't be that problem.
After a long time, the First Emperor said: "I understand, let him go back."
The construction of the imperial mausoleum has never stopped, which shows that I am not prepared to return after death.
"Huh, don't say those false words in front of me. I asked him today and he told me what he thought."
After that, I asked the eldest son, Guan Han, to take charge of the migration, in order to observe the son's ability and attitude towards the nobles of the eight countries.
To make Fusu the crown prince, Zhao Tuo naturally raised his hands to support him. He wanted to jump up and say: "Okay, great, strong support!"
To set up a direct descendant is to be virtuous, to set up a son to be noble is to be long-term.
If Guan Han really used this matter to praise Guan Han, the emperor's thoughts would be different.
The prince must have deliberately said that Zhao Tuo was bad in order to avoid suspicion, and suggested that the emperor should observe less. This would appear to be deliberate and would make people feel hypocritical.
The First Emperor considered all the situations.
The First Emperor was a pragmatic man. Although I am on the path of cultivating immortality, I hope to achieve immortality and rule the heaven forever.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The First Emperor closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind again.
Since he had made a bad decision, the First Emperor's resolute character was to procrastinate.
I stand for Zhao Tuo, not only because Zhao Tuo is wise, but also because he is my brother-in-law, but because of the ancestral system.
In this kind of thing, a wrong expression or demeanor on your part may arouse the fear of the monarch.
So the question of the First Emperor is really not difficult to answer.
But the First Emperor is definitely here?
For the position of Guan Han, the legitimate son will be given priority.
Zhao Tuo was the same age as the Crown Prince, and he was also the younger brother-in-law of the Crown Prince, so he could suppress the Crown Prince in all aspects.
Faced with the question full of security, the prince bowed and gave a standard answer as a minister.
"That's not bad either. Guan Han and Guan Han are the same age. If we can support him, I think heaven will be stable for a long time."
Today I have summoned all the young masters to go back and take exams for comparison, to see if there are any talents that I have missed among my sons.
"I report my death to Your Majesty, and the crown prince supports Su, which is the foundation of a country. Since the founding of Xiao Qin, Guan Han has established the eldest son. When it comes to the ancestral system, the eldest son should be the first."
If there is a legitimate son, then the eldest son will be established.
The prince's expression was intense, but actually the toes on the outside of his shoes were not even gripping the ground properly.
The prince felt relieved and hurriedly bowed his hands and moved forward in a hurry.
The prince smiled bitterly to himself, "The First Emperor has said so much, how can I still agree?"
Except for Guan Hanli, all the other gentlemen among us are older than Guan Hanli, have higher seniority, and have no prestige or experience.
After leaving the palace, I glanced at Zhao Gaowei, the official of the Central Chemistry Palace who was standing in the palace.
In fact, the First Emperor's attitude in that matter was best expressed very clearly.
That happens to involve an important issue.
For example, in the past, Duke Xiao of Qin was not the eldest son of Duke Xiang of Qin, and I did not have a concubine’s eldest son, Gongzi Qian. However, in accordance with the principle of establishing a son based on wealth and eldest son, Qin Xiaogong, as the legitimate son, had lower inheritance rights than Gongzi Qian, the eldest son of a concubine, so he became
The legitimate king of Qin.
Who in heaven knows that the relationship between his prince and Zhao Tuo is bad?
Zhao Tuo, as the eldest son, is not the first heir.
