The sky cannot be without the sun, and the country cannot be without its king.
This is common sense in the world.
Why is it that once it comes to daddy’s mouth, it becomes the same without anyone else?
"Father, are you kidding?"
"No, my argument is supported by factual evidence and is not nonsense."
However, as for the factual basis, Qi Yu did not explain clearly.
The basis he spoke of was none other than the ruling case of Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
This dear man has reigned for forty-eight years, and can be regarded as a monarch with a long political life. However, for twenty-eight years, he was lazy and refused to go to court.
All government affairs are delegated to the cabinet.
However, what people never expected was that the Ming Dynasty did not decline due to the lack of an emperor. On the contrary, it developed and prospered day by day.
This is the Wanli Zhongxing that is often talked about in history.
It can be seen from this that as long as the cabinet is strong enough, it does not matter whether there is an emperor or not.
In other words, that one is not indispensable.
Although Dafeng's cabinet is somewhat incomplete, Yin Jun actually holds great power. Even if his talents are not as good as Zhang Juzheng's, they are not far behind.
With him in charge of the regency, the country's internal affairs are basically safe. So, why is there any chaos?
In terms of his current real power, he is not the first assistant but is better than the first assistant. The only difference is the label on his hat.
To sum up, as a lesson, as long as the overall situation is stabilized, the Feng Dynasty will not be in chaos.
As for whether to choose to rescue the current emperor or establish a new king, it is not an urgent and primary consideration.
These can definitely be discussed in the long term.
Xiaotong was a little confused and had to put aside this topic and talk about something else.
"Father, between rescuing the current emperor and establishing a new king, which one do you prefer?"
After a pause, she made a special reminder: "According to the spies' report, Uncle Yin Jun advocates abolishing the old and establishing the new. Do you want to stand with him on this matter?"
The communication and friendship between the Qi and Yin families are obvious to all.
In addition to the friendship built over the years, there is also a narrow kinship relationship. Therefore, in the political arena, the two families often support each other and advance and retreat together.
In the eyes of the world, Qi Yu will definitely stand unconditionally on Yin Jun's side when it comes to the issue of establishing and deposing the monarch.
In fact, not only did everyone guess wrong, but Qi Xiaotong also didn't expect it.
This time, Qi Yu chose to stand on the opposite side of Yin Jun.
His thoughts are more inclined to save the present rather than destroying the old and establishing the new.
"Father, why did you choose this way?"
"Well, there are two main reasons!"
Faced with his daughter's inquiry, Qi Yu expressed his thoughts frankly: "The first reason has been mentioned just now. The country will run the same whether there is an emperor sitting in the Feng Dynasty or not. I have absolute confidence in this point.
cognition."
"At the same time, I also want to show the world that the emperor is not a necessity for this country. Even without him, the sun in the sky will still shine. The reason why I do this is to deliberately weaken the value of the emperor's existence.
To endorse future system reforms. With this fact as a basis, it will definitely trigger in-depth thinking among the world."
Qi Xiaotong never expected that her father's thinking was in this dimension.
This also directly proves that my father's behavior is unpredictable and difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"Then, what's the second point?"
"The second point is my personal private wish. When the Supreme Emperor was still on the throne, he once asked me to take care of him after his death, and he also made a solemn promise to me, 'I will live up to my country and my country.'
If the king is affectionate, how can the minister be unjust? Therefore, I should support the current emperor and oppose the establishment of a new king. Otherwise, my conscience will be uneasy!"
So that’s it!
It’s true, father, the imperial court is so calculating towards our Qi family, but you don’t even bear the slightest grudge.
In the face of major events, we still stick to principles.
But, having said that, it is precisely because there are so few people who suffer losses that loyal people are so rare.
If everyone in the world was as strong as a pine tree, there would be nothing to praise and worship.
When Xiaotong heard this, she looked like she was being taught.
But at the same time, she also asked: "Since my father clearly opposed the establishment of a new king, why didn't he say it publicly?"
Yes, why not make a statement in the article?
Even if it is an understatement, it is better than letting people guess!
Qi Yu smiled faintly and said: "Some words are too clear, which may not necessarily be a good thing. If you don't establish a new king, it means that you have to try to rescue me, and there is a big mystery in this section.
It’s inside.”
Xiaotong said in confusion: "Oh? What's the mystery?"
Qi Yu stroked his beard and said: "Before I explain this mystery, I have to explain the general background of this matter. Only in this way can you understand it clearly."
"Father, please speak."
"Goryeo captured Jinshang alive, which can only be used as a political threat. In addition, it has no other use. If they kill the emperor, it will lead to military retaliation from China. Due to this cause and effect, they will definitely not
It will kill my emperor. In other words, Li Hongyu's life is absolutely safe, and we don't need to worry too much. Of course, it is inevitable that he will suffer some hardships. The above is the background of the matter."
To sum it up in one sentence, I will definitely not die today.
Moreover, Gao Li did not dare to let him burp, otherwise, he would pay a heavy price.
"Since this matter is not urgent, we must take our time to figure it out. And before I make a promise, I still need someone to ask for help."
"who?"
"Empress Su Liu! She wants her son to live, so she shouldn't take the initiative to lower her status and ask for help from me? And I will take this opportunity to ask for some political capital that is beneficial to the country. This opportunity is rare, and it has passed.
There is no such store in this village."
After a pause, Qi Yu said again: "Furthermore, I am not making a statement now because I want to ease the tension of the King of Goryeo. If he threatens him from the beginning, he will only get a stalemate. And by then,
I can’t send troops, nor can I make concessions. My position is very embarrassing.”
Bidige
Oh, I generally understand!
It is indeed not advisable to rush for success in this matter, otherwise, it may be self-defeating.
What we have to do now is to wait for Su Liu's formal request for help.
Qi Yu generally expected that after seeing his article, she would be thinking about it.
Then, ask yourself for help. At that time, you can bargain.
What he didn't expect was that the first thing waiting for him was not Su Liu's handwriting, but Yin Jun's official document.
It said: He wanted to get the support of Qiongzhou. This chapter has been completed!
