Chapter 0763 Shocking the ministers
The Fourth Master didn't know that his fox did something bad again in the harem.
In the previous dynasty, the crown prince was still the matter, and it was mentioned again to the morning dynasty.
After more than ten days, the censors probably felt that the emperor had considered it almost the same, so they wrote a letter again.
This time, more officials agreed. Of course, the popular candidates were the third prince, the second prince who was the eldest son, the smart fourth prince, and the fifth prince.
The Fourth Master was strictly controlled by what happened in the harem, so no minister knew about it.
Therefore, the fifth prince is still the youngest and most favored child born to his mother.
No other problem.
The Fourth Master listened to the words of the officials below and nodded for a while: "I know what my dear friends said."
As soon as the Fourth Master spoke, the officials below calmed down. They thought, maybe the emperor had already thought about it?
Recently, they have failed to establish a relationship with the princes.
There is no need to mention the prince living in the harem, it is definitely not possible to contact him.
It is also difficult for the prince to get in. He can only go to the prince's mother's house to curry favor with him.
But the second prince’s grandfather’s family is in Zhili. It’s not easy to get along. It’s obvious that it’s deliberately gone there.
The fourth prince’s maternal family and the fifth prince’s uncle’s family are both in the capital. But these two families seem to have made an appointment, and they have been thanking guests in the past ten days, which makes people sigh.
"I know the kindness of my dear friends." The Fourth Master stood up: "But my second prince is only ten years old now, and the rest of the princes are still young and can't tell whether it is good or bad."
"Although the late emperor appointed the crown prince when he was in his infancy, the first crown prince was born. At that time, my Qing Dynasty was unstable. Now it is different. First, I have no legitimate son. Second, the Qing Dynasty is stable now. I am not in a hurry to establish the crown prince. The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. It is extremely important. If I am reckless, I am ashamed of the people of the world."
The crown prince is the next generation of emperors. If he is not established well, there will be endless troubles and will directly lead to the destruction of the country.
The emperor's words are reasonable. Even if the ministers want the emperor to establish a crown prince, they can stand as soon as possible, but they dare not persist.
Only one or two censors insisted: "The country must not be without a prince. Although the princes are young, they will always grow well with the emperor's cultivation. I also asked the emperor to establish a prince to ensure the hearts of the people of the world."
"Please give the prince a request!"
"Zhang Aiqing, I ask you, what is my life expectancy this year?" The Fourth Master looked at the old minister and said.
Lord Zhang was stunned. After thinking about it, he didn't realize it.
"I have not arrived yet, and I have four sons under my knees. Why are the people in the world uneasy?" The Fourth Master sneered: "Can you think that Zhang Aiqing and Jiang Aiqing think that I am a foolish lord. So I hope to appoint the crown prince as soon as possible so that the crown prince can succeed to the throne?"
The two censors were stunned and knelt down in a hurry.
The other officials also knelt down: "The emperor is a wise ruler, and he is young and strong, which is my blessing for the Qing Dynasty!"
The two people who insisted on appointing the prince were also ugly now.
They were anxious to ask the emperor to establish a crown prince, but the emperor was still a young man
If there is no prince who will make the people uneasy, they are cursing that the emperor is a fool.
"I have been ascending the throne for several years. I believe that I work diligently and dare not be ashamed of my ancestors day and night. Today I realize that the ministers look at me like this." The Fourth Master smiled bitterly: "Should I make the crown prince immediately and then abdicate?"
"Emperor! The emperor is the wise lord, as wise and great as the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! Don't be so arrogant!"
"The emperor is a wise ruler. Lord Zhang and Lord Jiang have bad intentions. I hope the emperor will punish them!"
"Yes, yes, the emperor will punish these two ministers with ulterior motives."
"My Qing Dynasty has opened a ban on the sea, and the recovery of Taiwan is just around the corner. Lord Jiang and Lord Zhang have taken over Taiwan?"
After this statement, the ministers' doubtful eyes fell on the two old ministers with gray beards.
That's right, the emperor is the pioneering king, and he will definitely take back Tai Island.
The chaos in Mongolia may also need to be rectified in the future.
Now they have already made a ship and go out to sea. It can be seen that they are very wise and ambitious.
At this time, if someone wants to change the emperor's intention, it will be Sima Zhao's intention.
Although everyone was not really suspicious of these two ministers, everyone could recognize the emperor's intention to not establish a crown prince for the time being. Only the two of them insisted, which made people feel a little suspicious.
"I'm wronged, I'm sorry."
"Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged. I have been serving the late emperor for the rest of my life. How could I be a spy on Tai Island? As a censor, I should be a strong admonition to the emperor, the emperor!"
"Oh? If you have any mistakes, you should advise me?" The Fourth Master sneered.
He had long wanted to deal with these old ministers and censors, especially Lord Zhang.
Relying on being the censor of the late emperor's son, there is nothing that I dare not say, nothing that I cannot say.
At that time, he also remembered Lord Zhang. Wasn’t he just a gourd with his mouth sawed in his mouth?
It seems that they don’t remember the violent temper of the late emperor in his later years.
"Of course I am not as good as the late emperor, so I am not worthy of using you. You are also old ministers, both Jinshi in the Shunzhi period. They can barely be considered old ministers of the three dynasties. It is not easy for me to punish you."
The Fourth Master sneered: "You two will go home to take care of your old age. If you can live well to your seventies, I should also reward your family."
The two of them were shocked and did not dare to say another word. Thank you in a dusty manner and left the Qianqing Palace side by side.
All the ministers were silent.
The last sentence of the emperor is really
Are civil officials? Some are very solar terms. Such old ministers are even more so.
Sometimes, if you beat them, they still have to say that if you dismissed from office, they may give you a wise man.
Although there have been many such things in all dynasties, it is obvious that the emperor does not want such a result.
That sentence, it is a compliment, but it is actually a threat.
Both of them are just 60 years old. If they die after leaving the palace, it would be too ugly.
But if I could live for a few years, basically no one would want to die.
It's just this time to think about it.
So, the emperor is threatening them. If he dares to die, the family will be buried with him.
In this world, it is rare to care about your family.
Therefore, the two old ministers went home to Rongyang, but nothing happened.
It was also the two of them who were brought home to honor and raised. The ministers all understood one thing, and they were not easy to talk to today.
Especially the old ministers of the late emperors, some of them had understood it very well before, so they never dared to disobey.
Some people didn't know much before, but now they all know it.
In short, the Fourth Master’s actions today were a great shock to the court.
This effect is better than killing them. After all, it’s impossible to let down the old minister’s heart?
Therefore, the Fourth Master's move was just right, and no one dared to say that the crown prince was appointed. Isn't that the emperor is not enough to stand up.
