There was silence in the side room, and Su Shi felt a little uneasy.
Some people say that His Highness the King of Qin has a resolute and violent temperament, and he firmly believes it. Without such a temper, he would not be able to behead nearly 100,000 heads of the Xia army.
However, the expected violent outburst did not come. Su Shi saw that the expression on Zhao Si's face only flickered slightly, and remained as calm as a mountain lake.
Su Shi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, thinking of the Thirteenth Brother in the letter, and the King Jian in some people's mouth. Different figures began to overlap, but they could not overlap with the one in front of him.
"Xiao Wang doesn't know what Mr. Wang means, please clarify." Zhao Si said still respectfully and politely.
Su Shi gritted his teeth and decided to fight.
"Your Majesty, it has always been the case that when a prince is established, he should establish a direct descendant but not an elder, and he should establish an elder but not a virtuous one. Your Majesty is smart and should understand this truth."
"Xiao Wang knows. Everyone has their own reasons for the standard of virtue, but in the end it is inevitable to have a problem. It is better to follow the visible standard. Is it a direct descendant? If not, who is older? It is clear at a glance, and there is no need to fight to the death.
"
"Your Majesty is a sensible person, and what he said is absolutely right. The fight for the throne is not only a matter of life and death, but also a loss of life and a destabilizing state. Your Majesty, I must be very clear about it."
"Xiao Wang knows this, sir, please continue."
Su Shi didn't expect Zhao Si to answer so readily, and suddenly felt hesitant in his heart. But thinking of the dangers of ruining lives and shaking the country's foundation, he mustered up the courage to continue.
"The official family is in frail health, and now the prince unfortunately dies young... I think the king knows better than we do about the current situation of the official family. After his thousand years, the only ones who will inherit the great treasure will be a few royal brothers. It's just that the Qingshou Palace has no children for the empress.
, all the sons of the late emperor are not legitimate sons. When the time comes to establish a crown prince, it should be to establish a senior rather than a virtuous person..."
Su Shi looked at Zhao Si, who still had a calm face. Seeing that the words had come to this point, he hesitated any longer, but he had ulterior motives, so he simply made the topic clear.
"In front of the king, there are the ninth brother, King Shen, and the eleventh brother, King Suining. King Shen has an eye problem and cannot bear the great treasure, so only His Royal Highness, King Suining, is left."
Zhao Si picked up the teapot and filled a cup of tea for Su Shi and himself.
The soft sound of water flowing in the side room echoed in the side room, making Su Shi feel flustered for no reason.
He hesitated for a moment, then continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, why don't you follow the etiquette and give way to King Suining? This will not only avoid turmoil and war, but also leave a good name in the history of Qing Dynasty."
Hearing this, Zhao Siquan understood.
He picked up the teacup and took two sips of the warm tea.
"I, Mr. Wang Suwen, are free and easy and don't stick to etiquette. Why do I keep talking about etiquette?"
"Your Majesty, this etiquette can stabilize the country and save the people from the suffering of war. Su is willing to follow it, and I also urge your Majesty to follow it."
Zhao Si's hand holding the teacup paused in the air for a moment.
"Sir, are you worried that my insistence on fighting for the throne will cause war, ravage the people, and even give Northern Liao and Western Xia an opportunity to take advantage of it?"
"Exactly! From Su's point of view, as well as my personal feelings, I certainly hope that the king can inherit the throne. But from the point of view of the common people in the world, I am absolutely unwilling and must stand up to persuade the king."
Having said this, Su Shi stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Please think of the common people of the country!"
Zhao Siquan understood and understood why Su Shi was so talented but so miserable in his life.
He is full of beauty, but he is extremely naive in politics. He is free and open-minded, but he is easy to trust others. Therefore, he was framed many times and his official career was bumpy.
"Sir, why do you think they should fight with me?" Zhao Si stepped forward to support Su Shi.
After hearing Zhao Si's seemingly indifferent words, Su Shi became anxious.
"The honor and righteousness are on their side. There are also Qingliu, famous scholars, and many local aristocratic families such as the Han family in Hebei, the Wen family, and the Wang family in Hedong, all standing on their side. Su also knows that the king has military power in his hands, but
Because of this, once there is a dispute, it will be a huge disaster! Your Majesty!"
Seeing Su Shi's heartbroken look, Zhao seemed to be in a trance.
It's not that Su Shi's tall image in his mind suddenly collapsed.
In Zhao Shi's view, according to the positioning of the game characters, Su Shi must be a top figure with over 90% in intelligence or literature. But in terms of politics, it is really difficult to say whether he can pass 60% in politics.
What Zhao Si really didn't expect was that the people over there had reached such a point and would use all possible means, even taking advantage of Su Shi, whom they hated very much.
If you are in a hurry, seek medical treatment.
Seeing Su Shi's anxious look, Zhao Si thought he was a little cute.
Perhaps only a person with such a pure heart can write "Send a mayfly in the sky and the earth, a drop in the vast ocean. I mourn the brief moment of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. I carry the flying immortals to travel, and I hold the bright moon until the end of my life." This is not in the world.
Worldly sentences come.
"Sir, do you know?"
"What?"
"Deputy Prime Minister Lu Huiqing secretly joined forces with Deputy Privy Council envoys An Tao and Wen Yi to write to the official family and confer the title of Empress Dowager on the mother's name. The Censor Zhongcheng Fan Zhonggong, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Xu Jiang, the Ministry of Husbandry Shangshu Cai Jing, Xing
Dozens of important ministers, including Liu Kui, the Minister of the Ministry, Zhang Shangying, the Secretary of the Zhongshu House, and Zhang Shuye, the official of the Kaifeng Prefecture, all signed the memorial. The Prime Minister did not object, so the Deputy Prime Minister, Huang Fu, signed the last one."
Zhao Si's gentle words were like thunder in Su Shi's ears.
His voice was trembling and he asked: "Is it legal to take the title of Queen Mother?"
"An has a son who is an emperor but his mother is not a queen?" Zhao Si asked back.
Yes, the official title is the Son of Heaven, why can't the biological mother be given the title of Queen Mother? As long as Zhu is revered as the Queen Mother, then Zhao Si becomes the legitimate son in legal terms.
If they establish direct descendants but not elders, King Shen and King Suining will not even be able to eat.
What Su Shi didn't expect was that, without making any noise, most of the civil servants in the court actually agreed to give Zhu the title of Queen Mother. Even Zhang Dun, the prime minister who had fought with Zhao Si in the Chui Gong Hall, did not object.
From his point of view, not objecting is tantamount to acquiescence, which is agreement.
There are still a few civil servants such as Li Qingchen and Zhao Tingzhi left, and it will be useless to oppose them. As for Zhao Tingzhi, Bai Shizhong and others, they are no longer important.
Why is the trend in the court completely different from what I know?
Su Shi, who was capable of writing wonderful poems that would shock the heavens and weep ghosts and gods, really couldn't understand why the political situation had become like this?
He asked feebly: "Your Majesty, why did they..."
"Sir, are you asking why most of the important officials in the court side with me?"
Su Shi nodded.
"Because they are worried that even if I don't want to fight, the 300,000 Gyeonggi Forbidden Army and 200,000 Western Army behind me will push me to fight. When the time comes, people will really be devastated and the war will continue. The final outcome will be very...
It is possible that the military generals took all the merit of supporting and following the dragon, while the civil servants and scholars became the foil."
Having said this, Zhao Si asked with a faint smile: "Sir, you said that the Han family in Hebei, the Wen family, the Wang family in Hedong and many other local families are standing over there. I don't believe it at all. Those guys are all cunning and cunning.
Why would you risk your family fortune so easily? Sir, you have been deceived by them."
Su Shi thought deeply for a while and showed a wry smile. He was politically naive, but he was not stupid. With a little push, he quickly woke up from his ecstasy.
Alas, I'm so old, I'm used to being deceived.
Suddenly, something occurred to him and he asked: "If, Your Majesty, Su just asked, if the day comes when the fight is over, will you really raise the flag?"
Zhao Si smiled and replied implicitly: "Sir, my king's hard work in rectifying the imperial army in the capital and promoting peace to Shaanxi cannot be in vain."
Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw up his head and laughed so much that tears came out of his eyes.
"I understand, those guys know that you have the courage and ability to dare to overturn the table, that's why they are so afraid. Your Majesty, you really have a handle on those tough, cowardly, and indecisive guys."
Zhao Si also laughed together.
Although Mr. Dasu failed in politics, his intelligence was indeed outstanding and he could understand everything with just a few clicks.
The people sitting in Zhaixingxuan listened to the laughter coming from the side room and looked at each other with surprise, joy, and secret worry.
"Sir, it's better to go to Chongwen Pavilion with peace of mind. Three or four friends gather together, invite the bright moon to sleep in the breeze, drink from the green mountains and clear water, feel free and at ease, and then create masterpieces of gods. Leave those troublesome matters of intrigue to ordinary people like us."
Listening to Zhao's extremely sincere words, Su Shi's eyes were slightly red, "Your Majesty, don't you bear grudge against the confused old man Su?"
"It's really hard to hate people like this sir." Zhao Si replied with a smile.
Su Shi raised his head and laughed, tears streaming down his face. This chapter has been completed!
