C970 Prince Kungs strategy (1/2)
No matter how much Ci Xi resisted in his heart, she could not refute what Yi Nan had said, because that was the reality of the political situation in the late Qing. It was hard to imagine how greedy people were. Perhaps the legendary imperial power could frighten some commoners and low-level officials, but towards the high level aristocrats and the high level officials of the Chinese Officer, the imperial power was not much of a threat at all.
In short, the current Emperor of Great Qing Dynasty did not have any troops, so there was naturally no threat if she did not have any military power.
However, once this power was divided, it would be difficult to reclaim it back. How could the rich and influential officials who were holding onto the power to rent away their power just sit back and watch as it was taken away in vain? When the black eyeballs saw white silver, crazy thoughts would sprout like wild grass.
They would definitely resist, especially if their opponent was just a fifteen or sixteen year old child. This only increased their courage. In the thousands of years of history of China, weren't there a few monarchs that had been killed?
If Ci Xi could understand this logic, Yi Nan and Yi Xuan could understand too, so no one could refute Prince Kung's suggestion. Ci Xi also understood that Yi Nan's decision was definitely a form of protection for Zai Chun.
”That's right, not everyone can become the second Master Kang Xi. Wanting to take charge of his family at the age of sixteen is too dangerous for Zai Chun! Let Zai Chun keep a low profile for five to six years, and slowly support a group of loyal subjects in the imperial court.
”But I'm afraid of Zai Chun's stubborn temper! Do you remember the look in his eyes when he was determined to leave with Xiao Letian? How stubborn was that? That gaze made my heart hurt … Do you think such a child would listen to advice? ”Now that our wings have hardened, I'm afraid we won't be able to control it anymore …”
”No matter how difficult it is, we have to care! While protecting the Emperor, we have to protect the Eight Banner Alliance, and we have to protect the whole of Manchu … If it really cannot be done, Chendi will have to advise you! ”
Her murderous words caused Ci Xi and Yi Xuan to shiver. This Western Palace empress dowager had suddenly thought of a scene that he had never seen before, because she had not entered the palace at that time.
In the first month of these thirty years, when the Dao Guang Emperor was on the verge of death, the ministers were ordered to open the secret box of the testamentary edict and officially announce the candidate to succeed the throne.
Unexpectedly, this testamentary edict not only wrote the words' the four sons of the emperor are called Crown Prince ', but it also wrote that' the six sons of the emperors are called Prince Kung '. This was an exception that had never appeared on the testamentary edict before.
In the end, it was given to me by my father, and at the same time it was written on the testamentary edict, which has already made it clear to the entire world that among my children, the fourth son is the eldest in line to inherit the throne, and the sixth son is the second in line, the second in authority in the world.
This was not only a form of protection for Yi. It was also a way of gaining the political status of the future government. It was the first and second place for the emperor.
This was a very precious political inheritance, look at the Seventh Elder Prince alcohol, Fifth Elder Yi Cong, Eighth Elder Brother, Eighth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother, Ninth Elder Brother, Xian Feng had bestowed the throne to them, and their statuses immediately changed.
If he said something unpleasant, as long as no one rebelled in Great Qing, no one would be able to touch him.
Ci Xi hurriedly shook his head and rubbed his temples as he thought of this. She kept hinting to himself, ”Don't think too much into it, don't think too much into it. You can't leave Yi Nan now, you can't play without him …”
