Chapter 11 Invite Your Majesty to Establish a Grandson
Your Majesty, what's the matter?
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand again, and all the palace servants in the garden retreated, and the guards pressed the handle of the knife and stared at the surroundings twenty steps away.
Looking at Liu Sanwu in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "The position of crown prince!"
Liu Sanwu felt a little sad. After abolishing the Prime Minister, he, the Secretariat, was the head of the civil servant of the Ming Dynasty. It was not surprising that the emperor asked about the crown prince, but he was inevitably a little nervous.
The crown prince is the future emperor. Now the emperor is old and the prince is new, and the tide of light and darkness is surging.
There is anxiety, fear, and inexplicable worry in my heart.
The emperor had many sons, all of whom were heroic and powerful.
However, the integrity of the scholar in his heart and the responsibility of being the chief minister gradually suppressed these emotions.
Liu Sanwu stood up and bowed to him and said, Your Majesty is asking the minister and establishing a crown prince!
That's right! Zhu Yuanzhang continued to say in a deep voice, the prince suddenly left, and we are so lonely. The crown prince is related to the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. You are a knowledgeable person, so let's talk to you first!
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Liu Sanwu tidied up his clothes and robe and knelt down with a solemn look.
Your Majesty, please forgive me for your words!
What are you doing? We ask you to come and let you speak. Look at what are you kneeling?
Liu Sanwu still knelt down, looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said seriously, "My me, please make the emperor grandson the emperor grandson!"
Crown Prince?
Zhu Yuanzhang's arm that wanted to help Liu Sanwu was stopped.
He asked with a calm face, why?
The father died and the son succeeded him, and his moral integrity was normal. Moreover, the emperor's grandson had already become a man, so the prince's lineage was the legitimate son of the emperor's Ming Dynasty. He should make the emperor's grandson the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future and be the king of the Ming Dynasty!
After saying that, kowtow again.
Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him did not speak for a long time and fell into silence.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not hesitating. To be honest, he also wanted to establish a grandson.
But as an emperor and a father, facing his sons who have made outstanding achievements in war, this cannot be said from him. He can only find a minister and hope to say it from his ministers.
Now the minister has spoken it, but for some reason, he feels a little uncomfortable.
Establish a grandson?
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and pondered, "Why? Although the prince has left, we have other sons." As he said that, he paused. Although the sons in the border area are not as good as the prince, they are not bad."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. Just like the King of Yan, our fourth brother commanded the border army in Peking, made many military achievements, and had a strong and courageous personality. He is also a good candidate?
If Your Majesty establishes the King of Yan, where will the two kings of Qin and Jin be? Liu Sanwu said aloud.
King Qin, King Jin.
Zhu Yuanzhang's second son and third son.
According to Confucian etiquette, the heirs must be in order, so how can they skip two brothers and establish the fourth prince, King Yan?
Moreover, what Liu Sanwu said implies a secret story among the Ming Dynasty royal family.
In fact, King Yan Zhu Di was not born by the late Empress Ma, so he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's legitimate son.
But not many people know about this. They dare not say anything if they know it.
The two older legitimate sons are here, and there is no reason to choose Zhu Di.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still not speaking, Liu Sanwu continued.
The King of Yan held the power of the border troops in Beiping, and the King of Qin and Jin were like heavy troops. If Your Majesty insisted on establishing the King of Yan, if Your Majesty a hundred years later, the two Kings of Qin and Jin were dissatisfied. Liu Sanwu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, didn't your Majesty know that in the Han Dynasty
Are the Seven Kings and the Eight Kings of Jin Dynasty Rebellion?
Bold! Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and was furious. You mean, after we die, will our sons and descendants of the Zhu family meet each other?
Liu Sanwu was not afraid and kowtowed, saying, "I am just telling the truth, just using history as a mirror!"
Hey! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed in anger.
In fact, what Liu Sanwu could think of was also what he thought of.
If you are not careful in establishing the crown prince among the kings, you will be a civil war in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
These sons are not easy-to-use. If he, Zhu Yuanzhang's son, dare not even think about this position, wouldn't be strange.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ponder, and then said, "According to what you said, can the kings be convinced if they want to establish a grandson?" As he said, he sighed, "We are old, the loess is buried in our chests." What if we establish a grandson in the future."
If you can't suppress your uncles, aren't you going to fight?
If the kings have different intentions, the center will send troops to kill them. The crown prince is the grandson of Your Majesty, so the son of the crown prince is named after the great righteousness and is a righteous army. Liu Sanwu continued to say, let’s talk about the great righteousness of the court, and even if the kings are not convinced,
But who dares to rebel?
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
This is a bit reasonable, and righteousness is the truth in this era.
If the King of Yan is established, then the King of Qin and Jin will inevitably use the orderly division between the elders and the legitimate and the illegitimate illegitimate sects, and the country will definitely be unstable.
However, in addition to King Yan, although King Qin and King Jin were also qualified vassal kings, they may not be qualified emperors.
King Qin and King Jin are good at fighting, but they are often arrogant and illegal. They have a perverse personality, like to enjoy pleasure, and live a luxurious life.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, it is difficult, difficult, difficult.
At present, it seems that there is no standing heir among the sons, so they can only establish a royal grandson.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and sat down on the stool.
Which of the prince can be the crown prince?
I dare not speak nonsense! Liu Sanwu can say that he has established the emperor's grandson, but he cannot, and he dare not say that he has established the duty of his minister.
Look at you, don't let you say it, you shouldn't say what you should say, and don't say it, regardless of whether we are angry or not. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pulled Liu Sanwu up and continued, "When you let you say it, you pretended to be deaf."
If you are dumb, what we don’t like most is the hesitant style of your scholars. Let’s say that there are only you and I, the king and the minister here, and we will forgive you for not guilty of anything you say.
When Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, Liu Sanwu was thinking about the prince's sons in his mind.
The oldest one is nothing more than his second son, Zhu Yunwen, the King of Huai.
One year younger than Zhu Yunwen is the prince's legitimate son, and the King of Wu Zhu Yunsheng.
Zhu Yunwen was quite wise and read Confucian classics like the prince, and was tolerant and kind.
Although King Zhu Yunyu of Wu is the legitimate son, he...
Liu Sanwu was a great scholar of the times. In addition to the official position of the Secretariat, he also took charge of the place where the princes and grandchildren studied in the palace and the university.
When Liu Sanwu thought of the King of Wu’s studies, he was immediately a little difficult to talk about.
Let's talk, are we waiting? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
I think that the eldest son of the Crown Prince Huai, Zhu Yunwen, is diligent and studious, and has the spirit of being a father. As he said that, Liu Sanwu secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. Seeing that the other party had no reaction, he continued to say that he could be made the crown prince!
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak out for a long time.
Just as he was speculating in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Although King Huai is good, he is not a legitimate son."
This... Liu Sanwu was shocked.
Although Zhu Yunwen, the King of Huai, was the eldest son, and his son was the most noble of his mother.
His mother was already the prince's concubine in the East Palace. Although she was born in a vain, she could also be called the legitimate wife.
Thinking about it, I suddenly thought about it. Could it be that Your Majesty is interested in the King of Wu?
Thinking about Zhu Yunyu who was dozing off at school, Liu Sanwu suddenly felt a big head.
It’s better to choose King Yan than to choose him?
But I think the King of Wu is so naughty? Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, Liu Aiqing, you are wrong!
Liu Sanwu was puzzled.
I heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue to say that King Wu seems to be cowardly and naughty on the surface. In fact, my Zhu family is a thousand miles away! When the prince’s funeral is over, you can teach me well in the university!
As he said that, he looked at Liu Sanwu quietly. Today's incident is not allowed to speak to the third person!
