The ownership of the throne of a dynasty is the most cautious thing for this dynasty.

He needs an imperial edict.

It also needs the approval of important ministers in the DPRK.

On this basis, after receiving the imperial edict, the important ministers in the court had to first consult the Central Palace, such as the mother of the late emperor and the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother was not alive, they would need to consult the wife of the previous emperor, as well.

It is the first empress and the future empress dowager who can officially announce it to the world only after receiving the empress dowager's decree.

It can be said that one of the three is indispensable.

If one of them is missing, it is inconsistent with legal principles.

Of course, some bullies may have something to say.

It is understandable that you would say that the first and third points still make some sense. After all, filial piety comes first.

So what's going on with the second article?

ah?

As an emperor, don’t I have the right to decide who owns the throne?

snort!

It's just nonsense.

If you think so, you are totally wrong.

To know…

The reason why an emperor is an emperor is because he holds the rights in his hands. He can only exercise these rights while he is alive. However, for a dead emperor, his power may not be fully implemented.

Don’t believe it?

Please refer to Qin Shihuang.

Of course, the Song Dynasty was not the Qin Dynasty, and it could not produce an emperor like Qin Shihuang.

However, if you want to talk about the importance paid to scholar-bureaucrats and literati, the Song Dynasty was the most important. It was the highest among all dynasties.

Let’s give an example.

When the former emperor Song Shenzong was in power, he had a conversation with Prime Minister Wen Yanbo about reforms.

It said: "Modifying the legal system is really displeasing to the scholar-bureaucrats, but why is it inconvenient to the people?" Yan Bo said: "The purpose of governing the world is with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people."

What does it mean?

Song Shenzong said: Yanbo, you see, although my reform may have some inconveniences for you officials and the landlord class, it is good for the people. It is beneficial to the people, isn't it?

And how did Prime Minister Wen Yanbo respond?

Your Majesty, you must remember that you govern the entire world with the scholar-bureaucrats and us, not with your people, and we are the ones who work with you.

You see, this slap has been directed to Emperor Shenzong's face.

But so what?

Because that’s the truth!

You, Emperor Shenzong, can't be angry yet.

so...

As for the former Emperor Song Shenzong, who he preferred to be the emperor was actually not important at all.

It doesn't matter whether he left a legacy or not.

The important thing is that these ministers, whoever they want to be the emperor will be more in line with their own interests.

As for Queen Mother Gao, who she prefers to be the emperor will make it easier for her to listen to politics behind the curtain and extend her hand from the inner court to the outer court.

You see, everyone has ideas.

Isn't this... they are making a noise.

It was noisy from morning until night.

The princes and princesses outside are still kneeling.

So, the argument finally came to a conclusion.

Not without surprise.

Queen Mother Gao and her supporters, as well as the conservative parties, won a great victory.

This group of people walked out proudly.

Of course, you still have to pretend.

But the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Princes, please listen to the late emperor's last edict."

Empress Dowager Gao didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic as soon as she started.

Then, Prime Minister Wang Gui walked out from behind Empress Dowager Gao with a respectful expression, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and was under the eager eyes of a large number of princes.

Open the imperial edict: "..."

"etc."

"I don't care if I read this imperial edict."

A childish voice suddenly sounded.

In this mourning hall, it seemed particularly harsh and attracted everyone's attention.

Who is so bold?

Then I discovered that it was actually a young child.

Everyone felt a little incredible for a moment.

"You kid, why are you causing trouble? Why don't you get out of here right away?"

Empress Dowager Gao's face was obviously a little uneasy.

She knows Li Changsheng.

My own grandson.

There is no reason not to recognize it.

It's just that on an occasion like today, the other party is so young that he dares to come out and cause trouble, not the older princes and the brothers of Emperor Shenzong.

This made her... really feel a little incredible.

Could it be that his uncles and uncles gave instructions?

snort!

It seems that someone really covets the throne!

The Empress Dowager Gao's eyes narrowed, she slowly turned her head, and her eyes immediately swept across the entire scene like a knife cutting through tofu.

It was so frightening that all the princes and princesses in the mourning hall began to tremble.

Some people even peed.

This is the majesty that Queen Mother Gao has accumulated over the past few decades.

And at this moment, Li Changsheng's clear childish voice sounded again.

Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Royal Grandma, you don't have to scare people with your eyes. These uncles, brothers and sisters, they don't know that I want to stand up."

"oh?"

"Do you really mean it's just you?"

That Queen Mother Gao.

She withdrew her dagger-like eyes again.

Targeting Li Changsheng again.

then...

"puff"

A big wave of his hand.

"Say it."

"The Aijia gives you a chance."

It seemed that she didn't take Li Changsheng seriously.

"Then I'll say it."

"If what you said is wrong, please don't be angry, Grandmother Royal."

Li Changsheng chuckled.
