Chapter 1172 (1/2)
Before the new year's Eve, the fourth master summoned princes and ministers to discuss the matter in the Taihe hall.
In fact, before going to Yongshou palace, he had a candidate in mind.
After asking the queen, his mind has not changed.
Only after a few days of thinking, came up with a perfect plan.
And, in order not to let others think that the queen interferes.
He delayed the announcement until the end of the year.
At the moment, he is sitting on the wooden chair with painted gold carving on the top.
the five clawed Golden Dragon on the Dragon Robe makes him look dignified and dignified.
Looking down at the officials, he said in a dignified way: ”I have already got the result about the establishment of the reserve. I want to discuss it with you.”
As soon as this was said, the officials who had been urging the fourth master to show their joy.
But Nian gengyao was startled in his heart and rushed to the front and said, ”emperor, my brothers are still young. Now I will establish a reserve. Will it be too early for him?”
”Why don't you tell me when it's better to establish a reserve.” Four ye light way.
Although his tone is indifferent, it gives people a kind of ”I don't say, you say it.”.
Nian gengyao's temperament is reckless, but he is not stupid.
After hearing the sharpness of the fourth master's words, he stepped back and said, ”the emperor is wise. Your decision must be right. I'm a slave. I don't know that. ”
Seeing this, some people who can't get used to him cast a look of disdain at him.
Seeing that Nian gengyao was soft, the fourth master continued: ”I have a clear candidate in my heart about the prince. But in order not to let the crown prince be exposed early and become the target of public criticism, I intend to write down the heir to the throne and place it behind the plaque of ”zhengguangming” in Qianqing palace, and set up a private reserve
For a moment, civil and military officials were in an uproar.
Originally want to know who is the prince, or hold the thigh in advance.
Now, they have nothing to do with it.
They had been waiting for so long with no direction or purpose.
As a result, officials were divided into two groups.
On the one hand, there are some supportive voices.
”Emperor, I think your method is very good. In this way, the foundation of the country has been determined, and there will be no turmoil. ”
”Yes, in this way, it is no different from making the crown prince public. However, because there is no formal ceremony to establish the crown prince, we don't know who it is, thus avoiding the premature division of imperial power and the situation of forming parties and seeking private interests.”
”The emperor is wise. Even if the crown prince is not suitable, it will have little impact on the imperial court even if it is changed at any time.”
”I think this is a good way to establish a reserve. In this way, it is more selective for the crown prince. It has no restriction on the common people, but also has the meaning of electing the monarch to be a virtuous person. It is better than the system of only establishing a chief official, and it is better than establishing a crown prince in Ming Dynasty. It can better protect the future crown prince. ”
And, of course, there's one more thing they don't dare to say.
There is no conflict between the emperor and the crown prince.
The prince and the officials didn't know who they were. They didn't have a target to form a party or attack.
It will not lead to the situation that the royal family is fraternal and fraternal.
Emperor Kangxi and the first Prince were in conflict.
At the same time, the prince and the crown prince can still be engaged in politics, which is consistent with the tradition of Manchuria.
Moreover, even if it is found that the crown prince is not suitable and chooses again, it will not lead to heavy losses and excessive resistance of the imperial court because the officials assist the crown prince too early.
Because at that time, the party members of the crown prince were already full.
