Da Qin: Who else can take this throne over me? Chapter 115 Please establish a prince to strengthen the country's foundation (four updates for Nuanyang 1314 Silver Alliance)
Chapter 115 Please establish a prince to strengthen the country's foundation (four updates for Nuanyang 1314 Silver Alliance)
In the backyard of the Twenty Prince's Mansion, guards in uniform appeared one after another, and Liu Bang carefully recorded every piece of news.
After a while, he gently put down the pen in his hand and sneered: "I knew he wouldn't be honest!"
Nowadays, the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty have no objections to who the First Emperor should choose as the crown prince, and because His Highness has done so well in Jiujiang County, many people even expect His Highness to take the throne.
Even the emperor's eldest son's teacher, Prime Minister Wang Wan, was sitting as calm as a mountain.
But now there is a lot of news in Qin, and even the news is all aimed at the eldest prince and His Highness. How could there be no reason?
Now all the news points to Zhao Gao, the teacher of the Eighteenth Prince, Zhongshu Ling. Looking at the news in his hand, Liu Bang knew for the first time that Zhao Gao, the Zhongshu Ling, actually had an intelligence network in his hands.
But involving high-ranking officials in the DPRK, the matter was no longer something he could handle.
Looking at Zhang San, the commander of Jin Yiwei, the other party silently took out a piece of paper with some symptoms recorded on it. Liu Bang looked at Zhang San doubtfully. He was not a doctor, so what was the use of showing such a thing to him.
"Your Majesty has no health problems, but he suddenly became extremely tired. The imperial doctor doesn't know what the illness is, and he can't find the cause!" The look on Zhang San's face, commanded by the Jinyi Guards, did not change at all, but he was already sure in his heart that this
It must have been done by His Highness.
Historically, Qin Shihuang lived forty-eight years, with more than ten years left to live. After his death, the Great Qin II collapsed and was replaced by Liu Bang in front of him.
Now that the Qin Dynasty had just been established, Qin Shihuang suddenly had a health problem. It would be strange if this had nothing to do with His Highness, but he would never tell Liu Bang about such a thing.
The expression on Liu Bang's face kept changing, and finally he sighed softly. If he could make the decision, he would ask the Jin Yiwei to put something unnoticeable into the medicine given to the First Emperor to ensure that His Highness could safely succeed to the throne this time.
But it concerns His Highness's father. God knows what His Highness is thinking. How dare he make such an arbitrary decision?
After looking at the sky, he carefully put the recorded information into his arms, and then said with a gentle smile: "Let's go, I will pick up all the ladies. As for how to implement it, I have to wait until His Highness comes back to decide!
"
In the Great Qin Palace, Ying Zheng listened as Zhao Wen kept saying things he wanted to implement in Great Qin. Some of them he wanted to implement but had not yet started, and some were things he had never thought about.
Although he continued to help Zhao Wen perfect each whimsical but extremely implementable plan, he became increasingly uncertain in his heart.
It wasn't until the early morning court, when Zhao Wen followed closely behind the First Emperor into the hall with a shout, that many ministers in the court who knew that His Majesty the Emperor was unwell realized that His Majesty had quietly summoned His Royal Highness the Twenty Princes back.
However, thinking about the various rumors about the 20th prince and the eldest prince of Qin in the past few days, many ministers already had a look of amusement in their eyes when looking at the 20th prince whose name they had already heard but had not paid much attention to.
.
His Highness's affairs in Jiujiang County can be said to be unknown to everyone in the court. He dismissed all the veterans in the county, recruited more than 20,000 new soldiers, and obtained more than 20,000 sets of iron armor from Chu.
The most important thing is that the hundreds of generals in the army completely ignored the military merit conferment system and competed directly based on their strength, which made the military greatly dissatisfied.
Later, they even introduced a system to select officials through examinations and replaced all township-level officials in Jiujiang County.
Jiujiang County, which originally had only a few hundred thousand people, had already grown to millions of people in less than a year under the hands of His Highness, but a big thing happened.
Now that His Majesty is not feeling well, he has asked the eldest prince to just seal him up and recruit this twenty-year-old prince to the capital. It is self-evident.
Before the emperor could speak, Prime Minister Wang Wan immediately took a step forward, bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Wan, would like to inform your Majesty that he should appoint a crown prince to strengthen the country. Zhao Wen, the emperor's 20th son, has a kind personality and can be the crown prince!"
As soon as Prime Minister Wang Wan finished speaking, many ministers in the palace looked at Wang Wan with full disdain in their eyes.
Anyone in the palace could make this suggestion, except Wang Wan. He was the teacher of the emperor's eldest son Fusu. Now that Fusu had just left the city, he asked the emperor's 20th son to be crown prince in the court. It would be too much.
Too shameless.
Wang Wan lowered his head slightly and stood motionless.
His Majesty was feeling unwell, so he asked the eldest prince Fu Su to confer the title, but instead summoned the twenty princes. Obviously, this twenty princes is the next emperor in his heart. He is the teacher of the eldest son of the emperor. If he doesn't speak first, he will be in trouble in the court in the future.
Where else could there be a place for him, Wang Wan.
And no matter what His Majesty thinks, he is the first to ask for the crown prince. Whether the twenty princes are willing or not, they must remember this favor. Others in the court must also give themselves some credit. It is just a sentence, but there are so many
The good thing is that he took advantage of it.
"Your Majesty, Li Si, is reporting to your Majesty that he should establish a crown prince to strengthen the foundation of the country. The emperor's twentieth son, Zhao Wenke, can be the crown prince!"
Li Si looked serious. His teacher Xun Kuang was a priest of Jiujiang Academy. All the township schools in Jiujiang County and the county schools combined had 100,000 students, all of whom studied Confucianism and Legalism. It is obvious that His Royal Highness the 20th Prince valued Legalism very much.
In any case, he is better than the eldest prince Fusu who only studied Confucianism. As the highest-ranking Legalist minister in the court, he must support the twenty princes.
Wang Wan is the prime minister, the highest-ranking Confucian minister in the court, and Li Si is the Tingwei, the highest-ranking Legalist minister in the court. As soon as they opened their mouths, a group of Confucian and Legalist ministers immediately came out and said:
"I second the proposal!"
The veteran Wang Jian took a step forward and bowed as well and said: "Veteran Wang Jian is here to report to your majesty, asking your majesty to establish a crown prince to strengthen the country's foundation. Zhao Wen, the emperor's 20th son, can be the crown prince!"
"I second the proposal!" As soon as Wang Jian opened his mouth, another group of military generals stood up and said at the same time.
Noticing that the First Emperor's hands were trembling slightly, Zhao Wen couldn't help but smile in his heart, sighing secretly that the First Emperor still had too little experience. There were too many such things in history.
Wang Wan is a Confucian, and Confucians are always accustomed to adapting to the wind. How could these people not guess the reason when the First Emperor brought him out like this?
As for Li Siji's guess at his superiors, in order to protect his rights, he had historically been able to submit to Zhao Gao, a eunuch, so he would naturally not let go of this opportunity to gain favor in front of the next emperor.
The last Wang Jian, the Wang family has contributed so much, and what they are most worried about now is how to protect themselves or even taint themselves. It would be fine if he is not in the court, but he is in the court now. If he doesn't speak up, won't he worry about himself in the future?
