Ni Debiao can be regarded as a "veteran" in front of Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying is not surprised that the other party can guess some of his thoughts.
Who allowed these sons of mine to be so outstanding? Or who allowed me to have so many outstanding sons?
The King of Jin was brave and strong, the King of Chu was generous, the King of Qi was quick-thinking, the King of Wei was clever, the King of Qin was heroic and generous, the King of Zhao was strong and soft, the King of Yan was shrewd and capable, and the King of Han was calm and wise. It can be said that he was reluctant to part with any of them. .
If he were still trying to conquer the world, then King Jin would definitely be his first choice. Who would have thought that Shen Yixiu, who was an expert in calligraphy and painting, would actually give birth to a son who loved military affairs? This really showed the roots of the old Feng family. He is also his father's favorite son, and he has always hoped to make King Jin the crown prince.
The King of Chu should be the most suitable prince in the eyes of many courtiers. He is generous and generous, and he is full of praise even for practicing state affairs.
King Qi is Feng Ziying's favorite. It's not that he is good at reading, but that King Qi is good at thinking. He likes to know what is happening and why. He is erudite and versatile.
Baochai's second son, King Wei, should be the one who is most like himself. His style of doing things has always been to leave no stone unturned and to act only after planning.
The characters of the King of Qin and the King of Jin who came from Xiangyun are somewhat similar, but the King of Qin has a better reputation among the courtiers, and he and the King of Jin have more military morale in the army.
King Zhao was born in Yingchun, and he was also the eldest son of a concubine. He was both strong and soft in his work, very well-organized, and had a kind-hearted personality. He also liked Gwu very much, and he was congenial with the people in the Imperial Gwuyuan.
King Yan was born in Tanchun, and his personality was similar to that of his mother. He was meticulous, very organized, and had strong execution ability. In terms of practicing state affairs, he had the talent of a prime minister and assistant, which was a very high evaluation.
The King of Han was the son of Xichun. In Feng Ziying's mind, the person who could distinguish the pros and cons most rationally might be this son, and he also inherited certain aspects from his mother.
King Lu, however, took the initiative to give up the fight for the crown prince and strongly supported his brother. Brothers worked together as one, and they were more powerful than gold. Feng Ziying liked this child even more.
"De Biao, according to what you said, it's mine, isn't it?" Feng Ziying glanced sideways at the other party and said, neither salty nor cold.
"I dare not, but Your Majesty has been on the throne for twenty-eight years. The country is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. If the princes want to inherit your legacy, they must produce some achievements that satisfy you, so I have taken great pains to figure out your thoughts. Or there’s nothing wrong with doing things.”
Ni Debiao said honestly.
Feng Ziying sighed inwardly.
He doesn't know the whole story, or he is the instigator.
Initially, I wanted to train the princes and select the most suitable candidate to be the crown prince.
But who would have thought that these sons of mine might have inherited the advantages of themselves and their mothers, and each one performed better than the other, which really dazzled me.
One has excellent literary talent, the other has won the hearts of the military, the other handles things in an orderly manner, this one has his own style of the past, and the other one behaves very much like himself.
This immediately makes it difficult for me to make a decision. The longer I put it off, the harder it becomes to make a decision.
By now, Feng Ziying was in a state of confusion. She really didn’t know how to resolve this matter that was troubling her. She didn’t even dare to ask Yu Lianguo for advice. She was worried that they also had selfish motives and that their decisions might not be as good as her own.
arbitrary.
Feng Ziying also knows that she is not young, she is fifty-five. In this era, she has entered old age. Even though she has the aura of a time traveler, Feng Ziying is not sure how many years she can live. Maybe not in ten years.
The question is, how long will it be?
It's time to make a decision.
He hoped that the throne could be handed over to a certain prince smoothly and he could quietly enjoy a leisurely life for a few years, but he also knew that this extravagant wish would be difficult to realize.
"De Biao, tell me. I won't judge what they did. I just want to hear fair words. I will also listen to the response from the standard guard."
Ni Debiao knew that this was the emperor's warning to him not to be emotional. Banner Guards and Long Quanwei had now formed a pattern of mutual supervision and complementarity. One was internally focused and the other was externally focused, but at the same time they both took other things into consideration.
"Your Majesty, actually the matter is not complicated..."
Ni Debiao simply explained that from Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu, they started to intervene in the capture and detention of Feng Zhijie by the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. Later, Jia Baoyu began to "sway people" to find the King of Qin, King Zhao, King Han and others.
With more and more people involved, and the media getting involved, this matter has become a hot topic.
There are praises for the family ties between brothers and sisters, praises for "justice and annihilation of relatives" who follow the law, worries about the princes "forming cliques", and even more attention to the risks that the undecided crown prince of the Great China Dynasty may bring.
reminders and suggestions.
"Haha, there are a lot of people involved in this." Feng Ziying's expression remained unchanged. He generally knew all these situations, but many details were not as clear as Ni Debiao's.
He even knew that businessmen from Shanxi and Shaanxi, emerging industrial forces in the south of the Yangtze River, reclamation forces in the Southeast, and soldiers in the northwest had all expressed their attitudes explicitly or covertly. This was a very dangerous signal.
Many people have realized that they are old and handing over power will be a matter of time. Perhaps they do not necessarily have to support a certain prince. They need a stable order and a clear goal.
Feng Ziying also knew that after twenty-eight years of her own imperial promotion system, it had become relatively complete. No matter who became the emperor, it would be difficult to change the structure of the empire. Not to mention that no matter how smart and wise her sons were, they would not be nearly as good as herself.
Compared with the prestige brought by the civil and military skills established in ten years.
The five-person cabinet system plus the fact that all ministers need to be recommended by important ministers and representatives, and the scope of important ministers has also been expanded to include the governors of each province. The representative system is being piloted, selecting representatives from each industry and class, and combining it with the population of each province to achieve the goal.
A certain amount.
The meeting of ministers recommends and decides on the list. Except for the chief minister, who needs a two-thirds majority, other personnel must be approved by a simple majority vote of the representative meeting and submitted to the emperor for approval. The first minister, cabinet ministers, provincial governors, and ministers can be selected.
Sure.
What about the emperor? It should be his own decision, but now it is left to the "people" to make the choice. Is it appropriate?
Does this process also need to be used to decide when the emperor is born? It seems not impossible. As long as it is one's own heir, well, illegitimate children must be excluded, then they will definitely not have the right to inherit the throne.
Feng Ziying also had a strange feeling in her heart. If the choice of emperor was decided in this way, would she be able to create a new history?
Of course, Feng Ziying also knows that no matter which method is used, her role in it will be decisive, and she can even achieve her goal with just a few random guidances. But if this is the case for her own generation, what about the next generation, and the next generation after that?
