My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 454

Li Lan kowtowed.

Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh.

He turned his head and glanced at Yelu Nanxian, then at Han Yan and the girls, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He knew that this matter was purely a misunderstanding, and the description became darker and darker, so it was better to be straightforward.

When Yan Qing saw him, she knelt down and bowed down. Seeing Li Lan kneeling on the spot, she felt a little terrified, thinking that Li Lan had offended the emperor.

Wang Lin stared at Yan Qing, then glanced at Li Lan, and said calmly to Zhang Xiaoyun, the palace maid and imperial study waiter who was waiting behind him, "Proclaim the decree."

Yan Qing and Li Lan quickly looked at each other, both a little dazed.

Zhang Xiaoyun collected himself, stood up and said in a loud voice: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor Dayan said:
Today, there is the Princess of Yongjia named Li Lan, who is well-known for her quality, she is cautious and quiet, and has unique talents and learning. She should be a model for the noble lady of Dayan.Gai New Year's Double Ten, so as not to miss his youth, I personally choose a good son-in-law for him.

Today there is the son of heaven, the governor of the Duwei Mansion, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the general of hussars, Yan Qing, who is both civil and military, talented and virtuous, and has long admired the beauty and grace of Princess Yongjia, and he wants to be his wife.After the order of the ancestors ordered the temple to be auspicious, I personally issued this decree to congratulate.

Two thousand households and five hundred slaves are specially granted, and there will be an heir, Yinzi Yunqiwei, to celebrate the festival.

The wedding ceremony is handed over to the secretary for planning.The palace also gave 120 pieces of gold and pearl jewellery, 120 pieces of makeup pythons, [-] pieces of silk and satin of various colors, [-] pieces of four-season clothes, and six sets of agarwood wardrobes, as the help of Feiyi.This is it. "

Yan Qing and Li Lan were ecstatic.

Only then did Han Yan, Yelu Nanxian and other girls realize that Li Lan and Yan Qing were lovers.

Yanqing's position in Wang Lin's heart, Yelu Nanxian didn't know much about it, but all the women knew it.

This is Wang Lin's second only to Hua Rong.

As far as faith is concerned, in a certain sense, it is even more important than Huarong.

After all, Wang Lin put his wealth and life in Yan Qing's hands.

How could the emperor go to snatch a woman from Yan Qing...

This misunderstanding is really big.

Han Yan stood up with a smile and said, "Xiao Yi, why don't you thank me?"

Yan Qing suddenly realized, and hurriedly kowtowed again with Li Lan: "I kowtow to my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wang Lin stood up and helped Yan Qing up himself, and motioned for Han Yan to help Li Lan up.

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Queen, I have shared hardships with Xiao Yi for half a year, and love brothers. Although Xiao Yi's marriage is presided over by the Ministry of Rituals and the palace, I still feel a little uneasy, so I will trouble the queen."

Han Yan smiled and said: "The concubine will definitely go all out, please rest assured the emperor."

Yan Qing was so grateful that she knelt down again: "Your Majesty, how can I be able to accept such kindness from the Emperor and the Empress, my Majesty..."

Wang Lin helped Yan Qing up with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, hurry back and prepare to get married. Princess Yongjia lived in the palace temporarily before she got married. My place is her natal family."

……

The marriage between Yan Qing and Li Lan was actually just a trivial matter after the Great Yan Dynasty came into operation, at best it was a small tidbit.

As Wang Lin was about to go to Hebei to prepare for the Northern Expedition to recover the former land of Yanyun, the voices in the court about the early establishment of the crown prince became louder and louder.

There are tens of hundreds of papers reported to the center every day, and the accumulation is not a small amount.

Wang Lin didn't intend to establish a crown prince first.

His children are still young, and he wants to wait for the children to grow up, and then choose the prince according to their temperament, and take over his great cause.

As a modern time traveler, Wang Lin didn't have the so-called concept of the difference between his son and his concubine in his bones.

Although the inheritance method of establishing a descendant but not a concubine, and establishing an elder but not a young, although it exists, it is reasonable, but it does not conform to the elite concept of selecting the best and discarding the fittest.

He didn't want the Great Yan Dynasty he built to die like Qin.

So I want to take it easy.

Two days later, the voice of conferring the crown prince became even louder.

And Li Gang, Wu Min, Guo Zhishun, Huang Qishan, including Zongze who was far away in Hedong, all came forward to ask Wang Lin to be the crown prince as soon as possible.

In a word, if the prince is not sure, the emperor can't drive himself to conquer.

Wang Lin avoided two court meetings in a row to discuss the establishment of a crown prince, but in the end he was still unavoidable—the four court ministers in Beijing led all the civil and military ministers of the third rank and above, and blocked him in the imperial study room of the palace.

And the matter of establishing a reserve is very sensitive, so it is also a topic that is almost taboo in the harem, and Han Yan's daughters are basically avoiding it.

Li Gang led dozens of courtiers to kneel outside the imperial study room for almost half an hour.

It was already early summer, and even at sunset, the temperature was extremely high. Li Gang knelt there sweating profusely, and his purple official robe was wet on his back.

Seeing Li Gang's shoulders trembling slightly, Wu Min and Guo Zhishun looked at the old man kneeling at the front with some concern, and turned their complicated eyes to the closed door of the imperial study together, sighing slightly in their hearts.

In fact, these cabinet ministers all knew Wang Lin's true thoughts.

I want to wait for all the sons to grow up and choose their sages to inherit the throne.

In a sense, this is conducive to the sustainable inheritance of the Dayan Dynasty.

But etiquette cannot be broken.

The establishment of a crown prince is a major national event. When it comes to establishing a crown prince, we must adhere to the etiquette and law, follow the ancient practice, and register the eldest son.

Therefore, it is actually not controversial for the ministers to ask for the establishment of the crown prince. They want to establish Wang Han, the eldest son of Han Yan.

Through the crack of the door of the royal study, Wang Lin looked at the nobles and nobles kneeling on the ground outside the door, his eyes flickered.

I feel a little more helpless in my heart.

He finally understood that even as a time traveler, even as an emperor, it was difficult for him to evade and override the etiquette concepts of this era, and many things could not be carried out according to his own wishes.

At least not immediately.

The position of crown prince must belong to Wang Han. If he had other ideas, it would definitely cause a strong reaction from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

In the feudal dynasties after the Qin Dynasty, the eldest son inheritance system was the mainstream, and the hereditary throne system was implemented.

It would not even rule out the situation that caused many civil servants to stand up and remonstrate.

After all, in ancient times, it was the death of Wu and the remonstrance of Wen, and it was proud of it.

Wang Lin had considered Yongzheng's original secret reserve system before.

In the secret reserve system, Yongzheng wrote the imperial edict in advance, in duplicate, one with him and one in a box.

Then Yongzheng summoned the princes and ministers to announce that the candidate for the prince had been determined, and then placed it behind the "upright and bright" plaque in the Qianqing Palace. The world, support the new king to ascend the throne.

It stands to reason that Yongzheng's move has high political wisdom.

The special feature of this innovative system established by Yongzheng is that the selection of the heir to the throne is entirely in the hands of the emperor. Under the circumstances, they will maintain their motivation to make progress, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will not dare to bet at will, so as to avoid forming cliques for personal gain.

But since it is a good system, why did Yongzheng and Daoguang emperors only strictly implement the secret reserve system after Yongzheng established the secret reserve system?

And even in the period of Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Daoguang, who strictly followed the secret reserve system, they still failed to avoid the situation of father-son and brother-in-law.

Mainly because of the inability to achieve true secrecy.

In the world, how can there be an impenetrable wall?
What's more, he is the prince of the country. In the future, he must focus on cultivating... these elites in the court, who can't see the clues?

In Wang Lin's view, if he also imitated the secret reserve system, the biggest disadvantage would be to cause restlessness in his harem——

Han Yan's empress authority will be greatly challenged and suppressed, and among the other concubines, it is inevitable that some people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Wang Lin's head was as big as a bucket.

Zhu Lian gently stood behind Wang Lin, and she sighed softly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is a major matter for the country. The emperor wants to conquer by himself, and it is not good for the country to have a crown prince. It seems that if the emperor does not agree to establish a crown prince today, the court will These civil servants will definitely not let it go."

Wang Lin turned around and hugged Zhu Lian in his arms, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I originally thought that I should not be in a hurry, and I will slowly see who is more suitable among the sons in the future... It seems that I can't do it with my idea. of."

Zhu Lian's delicate body trembled slightly.

The information revealed by Wang Lin's words shocked her very much.

She originally thought that Wang Lin was unwilling to set up the East Palace to separate the imperial power because of her prime age, but who would have thought that Wang Lin would not necessarily have the idea of ​​having an eldest son? This... In her opinion, it was really shocking. And it is extremely unfair to Queen Han Yan.

Zhu Lian's mind was agitated, and she fell silent for a while.

At this time, no matter what she said, what attitude she took, if it got to the queen... there was no guarantee that the queen would not have a bad misunderstanding.

Naturally, Wang Lin knew what Zhu Lian was worried about, and he was just talking casually, and he didn't expect Zhu Lian to give him any advice.

His hand stroked Zhu Lian's beautiful back, and finally landed on her plump buttocks.

Zhu Lianqiao blushed, and pressed her flushed cheek against Wang Lin's chest.

The two were intimate for a while, Zhu Lian hesitated for a long time before saying softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine did not dare to intervene in the matter of establishing the crown prince, but seeing the emperor's embarrassment, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Wang Lin patted her hips lightly: "Tell me."

Zhu Lian said: "Is the emperor's original intention to follow the ancient law and establish a worthy successor?"

Wang Lin nodded slowly: "That's almost what it means."

Zhu Lian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, although Han'er is young, I believe that he will be a wise master in the future."

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "Of course I hope Han'er can grow up to be a man, but now he is still a child over one year old..."

Zhu Lian smiled: "So, your majesty, you should raise Han'er from an early age... At least, the concubine thinks that the emperor shouldn't... After all, Han'er, as the eldest son, is governed by etiquette and the world's heart..."

"At this time, if Han'er is not established as the East Palace, everyone in the government and the public will suspect that the emperor and the empress are not safe. Then, the concubine thinks that there will be endless troubles."

After Zhu Lian finished speaking, her eyes flicked over the two female officials standing in the corner of the imperial study.

Zhu Lian's words woke Wang Lin up.

That's right, not to mention concubines and concubines, as a father, he must give his eldest son a chance, right?

Then stand up first.

Check back later.

He's only in his twenties anyway... and he's got plenty of time to steer.
