Chapter 1,670 Yuan Xian strives for the crown prince position
Liu Yu secretly sighed in his heart, this Wang Xun is really powerful, and the proposal is almost watertight. First, as the prince Zhan Shi, it is guaranteed that this mentally retarded prince will ascend the throne, which is the first place, and the king of Kuaiji allows him to serve as the regent and take charge of the throne.
With great power in hand, he can be regarded as a virtual monarch with real power. Although he has no title, at least it will not be worse than it is now, and it can be considered stable for the time being. His words are very clear. If there is no archived copy of the secret edict in Zhongshu Province, it is false.
The imperial edict will be investigated and punished as treason. This is a warning to those Taoists not to try to manipulate this imperial edict, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Queen Mother Li nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Pushe's proposal is very reasonable. King Kuaiji, what do you think?"
Sima Daozi's eyes were shining and he didn't speak for a while, while Sima Yuanxian said coldly: "Wang Pushe has already said it to this extent, what else can we say, but I must say one more thing,
The incident of Emperor Hui of the Western Dynasty was not far away. If a mediocre ruler ruled the country, it would only make the powerful people have different ideas. If they attack each other, the world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer in the end. If the common people in the world are
For that reason, it would be better to elect a wise lord. This is not without precedent in the Jin Dynasty. Even without the late emperor's edict, important ministers had discussed the matter and supported the wise lord."
As he spoke, he looked behind Wang Xun, a fair-faced civil servant in his thirties with clear features, and said: "Secretary Huan, your master, together with the heads of the Wang family and the Xie family, abolished the inactive Hai
Ma Yi of the Western Company established another Emperor Jian Wen, who had a reputation for being well-known. This kind of dethronement saved the Jin Dynasty and ensured peace for the next few decades. Today, our Jin Dynasty is facing the same situation again. Your Huan family
The current head of the family is now assisting the Yin governor in Jingzhou, and he can be said to have actual control over Jingxiang. How is it similar to the situation back then?"
The man who was called was Huan Yin, the son of Huan Chong. Unlike his two brothers, Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin, who were outstanding in martial arts, this man had been sick since he was a child and could not practice martial arts, so he turned to martial arts.
As for Xiangwen, he developed in the official direction and became famous all over the world. He served as an official in Jiankang for a long time. In fact, he was also a hostage placed in the capital by Huan Chong. He served successively as secretary supervisor and secretary supervisor, and was in charge of document sorting and classification work in the Jin Dynasty.
He was a sinecure, but his status was quite high. After Huan Xuan returned, he naturally didn't want his cousin to come back to compete with him, so he simply left him in the capital, just like Huan Chong also drove himself farther and farther away from Jingzhou.
The better.
Huan Yin's face did not change and he said calmly: "Back then, my uncle was confused for a while and made a reckless move to abolish the establishment of the Establishment, which almost ruined his reputation for a lifetime. It was not a glorious thing. As a descendant of the Huan family, I have been taught by my late father since I was a child.
We must remember the lesson and never do this retrograde again. Please forgive me for not agreeing with His Highness the Crown Prince's remarks."
Sima Yuanxian sneered and said: "Then your cousin Huan Xuan is now the Prime Minister of Nanjun, but he controls the troops, money and food in Jingzhou, and does not listen to the court's orders. What he did is exactly the same as your late uncle back then. What's more,
What’s the explanation?”
Huan Yin said sternly: "That was done by my cousin and has nothing to do with Xianguan. Every time Xianguan sees his cousin, he will advise him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and use his father as a lesson. Don't have any different intentions and destroy me."
Due to the reputation of the Huan family, His Highness the Crown Prince is now the legal crown prince and should ascend the throne. Such an act of abolishing the throne is not something that a loyal minister or even a citizen of the Jin Dynasty should discuss."
Sima Yuanxian gritted his teeth: "The prince has not yet ascended the throne, everything can be discussed. If we just stick to the so-called loyalty and allow a person who does not have normal human abilities to become a hero, then the disaster of the Eight Kings Rebellion will be there.
At present, should everyone restrain themselves with this small foolish loyalty, or should they practice righteousness?"
Empress Dowager Li said in a deep voice: "Yuan Xian, the most important thing now is to let the prince ascend the throne according to normal procedures. If the emperor did not personally issue an edict to abolish the prince's position when he was in power, it would be the emperor of later generations. If everyone excuses the prince's incompetence
, to force him to abdicate is to force the king to do so. Is there still such discipline in the world? You started this way, if you change the prince today, tomorrow someone else may replace your father! In the end, the world will no longer have the surname Sima. You are
You think you are a child prodigy. How could you be so confused when you know these past events?"
Sima Yuanxian gritted his teeth: "Grandma, my grandson is really not doing it for his own selfish desires, but because the past of Emperor Hui of the Western Dynasty is not far away, and..."
Having said this, he glanced at Sima Dewen, who had been standing beside Sima Dezong, and said in a deep voice: "Just like when Jia Nanfeng controlled the emperor, poisoned the prince, and took power himself, what else can be better than a man who can't even speak a word?"
My brother who can’t speak can be better used as a cover for himself? If grandma insists on letting the prince take over, then it’s better to simply let King Langya directly replace the prince. Anyway, they are both the legitimate sons of the late emperor, so there is no difference."
Sima Dewen said calmly: "Yuan Xian, this is absolutely impossible. I am just the prince, not the prince. Over the years, I have only been responsible for taking care of His Highness the prince. I have neither the ability nor the ideas for the throne. Grandma said it
Yes, the world must act according to the rules of the world. Although the prince's brother's strange disease is difficult to cure for a while, as long as we unite as one, unite hundreds of officials and major families to assist him, then I believe that our Jin Dynasty will definitely prosper. This
For hundreds of years, the emperors of the Jin Dynasty have always fully trusted the noble families and officials. Only by co-governance can we survive the difficult years. With today's strong atmosphere, at this time, we must not start chaos on our own.
Fighting for power and profit, repeating the tragedy of the Eight Kings Rebellion."
Sima Yuanxian gritted his teeth: "Since grandma and cousin said so, and Wang Pushe insisted, then as a descendant of the Sima family, I have nothing to say. However, this world is not a world for my Sima family and one surname.
, noble families and powerful vassals will all change their minds because of the emperor's choice. The previous emperor was wise and powerful, and the ministers were convinced, which is why we are in today's situation. But if the new emperor is a person who can't even talk, and doesn't know whether he is warm or cold, many people will
People are afraid that they will have other thoughts. Wang Shangshu, your Taiyuan Wang family is a top-notch family. Tell yourself, will anyone among the high-ranking families have other thoughts? "
Wang Guobao said quickly: "Of course, the major families have already discussed the prince's condition. There have been many children of the noble families who have approached me and wanted to ask me to come forward. They jointly submitted a letter to appoint another prince. Originally, the late emperor had already expressed his intention, but it was just because a while ago
The matter of Liu Yu on the horse stage has been put on hold. Now that the late emperor is buried, if it is really the prince who takes the throne, many people will definitely be dissatisfied. Queen Mother, please think twice!"
