Chapter 1299 Confessing the King(2/2)

"But the princess is your Majesty's biological daughter, and she is favored by your Majesty. I want to know your Majesty's heart. She is a child and wants to relieve her parents' worries. I dare not disobey her order."

When Princess Quan heard this, she immediately beamed and nodded:

"That's right, that's right."

Lu Yi then continued:

"Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is really beyond the reach of your Majesty. I have a crude nature and a foolish opinion. I only hope that the princess will not be filthy."

Princess Quan said eagerly:

"Please ask Lu Zhongshu to speak quickly."

Lu Yi nodded and said:

"In the past, when the prince was stationed in Wuchang, the prime minister (i.e. Gu Yong) wanted to make the second prince (i.e. Sun Lu) king, but your majesty refused. This can be said to be a sacred heart that cannot be deceived."

"Later, Shangshu Pushe discussed with the prime minister and continued to write to your majesty, saying that the second prince could be the general of the army and guard one area to promote the great cause. He urged your majesty, and your majesty agreed."

When Princess Quan heard this, she was stunned. She didn't know what Lu Yi meant when he said this.

Lu Yi did not explain, but said meaningfully to Princess Quan:

"Now that your Majesty has established a new prince, a general, and a queen, only the princes, according to the rules of etiquette, should have been crowned kings and become the most important servants of the country."

"But the prince is the leader of the princes and does not seek advice from his younger brothers; the general is the pillar of the country and only cares about gaining influence."

"Princess Quan is not only His Majesty's eldest daughter, but also the eldest sister of all the princes. She should make up for His Majesty's shortcomings and speak up for all the younger brothers!"

When Princess Quan heard this, she became even more confused:

What does the appointment of princes as kings have to do with the establishment of a queen?

But she didn't feel comfortable asking questions, lest she show her timidity, so she had to patiently continue to listen.

Lu Yi still didn't react when he saw her, so he mentioned the former prince Sun Deng again:

"In the past, the prince guarded Wuchang. As soon as the two princes came of age, they had to guard one side. The general of the Hou Zhenjun died of illness in Banzhou. Your Majesty was so sad that he could not eat. The former prince traveled day and night to comfort and advise.

admonish."

"After staying for more than ten days, your majesty wanted to send him back to the west. The former prince begged deeply, saying that he had been away from Ding Province for a long time and there was a gap in the way of his son. He also said that Lu Xun was loyal and diligent and had no worries. He sincerely requested to stay. Your majesty.

That’s why the former prince was allowed to stay in Jianye.”

Princess Quan's breathing suddenly stagnated slightly.

She vaguely seemed to have caught something.

Lu Yi said earnestly:

"Princess, the former prince is deeply favored by your majesty and loved by all the officials. He still has to do his best to stay with your majesty. Why? There are kinships near and far!"

Princess Quan couldn't help but ask for advice: "Sir, you mean..."

Lu Yi lowered his voice: "Princes are granted the title of king, and the rewards are the heaviest. The one who stays closest to Your Majesty is the one whom Your Majesty loves the most."

The whole princess suddenly woke up!

Lu Yi was not talking about establishing a queen at all, he simply wanted to support other princes to compete with the crown prince for the throne!

This is an inheritance!

"Princess, the person that Mrs. Wang relies on is the prince. Even if we can stop her for a while, how can we stop the emperor from calling her the queen mother when the prince ascends the throne?"

Lu Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, revealing the nature of his opponent in this palace battle.

When the school affairs office was at its most powerful, he even plotted against the former prince Sun Deng.

What's more, now that there is Mrs. Pan in the palace and Princess Quan outside the palace, the opponent is still a prince who has just entered the East Palace and has not yet established his footing?

The most important thing is that His Majesty's ambiguous attitude on the matter of establishing a queen gave Lu Yi a bold idea.

In fact, His Majesty has long been dissatisfied with the General.

The general persuaded the third prince to be crown prince...

The general also persuaded the crown prince’s mother, Mrs. Wang, to be the queen...

But His Majesty has no comment on the matter of making Mrs. Wang the queen...

So can it be said that His Majesty is actually not that satisfied with the Prince?

Rather than treating the symptoms, it’s better to treat the root cause!

Seeing that Princess Quan was still hesitating, with a frightened look on her face, Lu Yi comforted her:

"Princess, in fact, in this matter, you are just a good daughter who makes up for His Majesty's mistakes and a good sister who speaks for the princes. Why should you be afraid?"

"We just need to wait and see the effects, and then act in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. No worries!"

When the princess heard this, she suddenly realized:

Yes, it is a ritual system for brothers to be crowned kings, and no one can fault it. After the event is completed, if someone has the ability to challenge the crown prince's position, it will also be the crown prince's trouble. What does it have to do with me?

At the same time she asked one last question:

"But according to the etiquette, a prince is granted the title of king and joins the kingdom, usually after reaching adulthood. Now among the princes, only the fourth brother is qualified. What should we do?"

Lu Yi didn’t take it seriously:

"Princess, how can we say that such a major event can be accomplished overnight? We should plan it slowly."

"And if His Majesty likes a certain prince, wouldn't it be possible for the fourth prince to be crowned king and reward the remaining princes for other reasons? From this, we can see some clues."

The whole princess was convinced.

In the fifth year of Yanxi in the Han Dynasty, in the fifth year of Chiwu in the state of Wu, August.

The Grand Governor Quan Cong took the lead and suggested conferring royal titles on the princes. Sun Quan refused on the grounds that the world was not yet stable and it was inappropriate to honor concubines and princes.

However, Quan Cong was not discouraged and continued to speak up. He only said that according to the etiquette system, even if His Majesty did not confer all the princes, he should still confer adult princes as kings in order to rectify the country's foundation.

Sun Quan then agreed to establish his fourth son, Sun Ba, as King of Lu.

Then Sun Quan's next move gave Princess Quan, Lu Yi and others a big surprise that made them laugh out loud in their dreams:

When King Lu first paid his respects, he was in the same palace as the prince, and the etiquette was not divided.

This means that although Sun and Sun Ba are respectively the prince and the king of Lu, there is no distinction between them in terms of etiquette. There is no difference in their diet and daily life in the same palace.

In other words, King Lu and the prince are equals.

Princess Quan and Lu Yi were laughing behind the scenes, but the officials in the Wu Kingdom were in a rage.

The servant who was the minister at that time was Yi, and he was also the king of Lu. He was the first to jump out. He gave Sun Quan the following:

I believe that King Lu Tianting is virtuous and has both civil and military talents. In today's world, it is appropriate to control all directions and serve as an auxiliary to the country's vassals. Promoting virtues and virtues and shining a bright light are the good rules of the country and are looked upon throughout the country.

It means that King Lu is very powerful and versatile in both civil and military affairs. His Majesty should send him to guard the four directions and serve as a vassal of the country.

On the surface, he was praising King Lu, but in reality, he meant to tell him to get out of Jianye quickly and stop staying in the capital.

Lu Wangfu's backhand was a stab in the back, which made Lu Wangsun Ba almost vomit blood on the spot.

The joy of being crowned king immediately disappeared without a trace.

I am staying in the palace well and not bothering anyone. You want me to get out of the capital?

Besides, you are King Fu of Lu!

You don't stand on my side and you actually want to drive me away from Jianye?

Several meanings!

PS:

There is some debate in history about Sun Ba's mother. Some say she was Mrs. Wang, and some say she was Xie Ji.

Here I take Xie Ji as my mother.
