Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Mu Ci looked around, only to see Cuiyuan envoy huddled in a corner, and the emperor said: "There is no one in the hall, Jiulang, you can speak boldly."

Mu Ci shook his head: "There is nothing you can't tell people." He ordered the envoy Cui to call Mou Yu, and said to Mou Yu, "Brother, clean up the surrounding area and keep people away. Let's see if Aunt Lin'an is still there." Now, ask her if she will come. Please King Qinghe and King Changshan come over, and call Prime Minister Wang, Li Canzheng and Su Yushi."

Mou Yu agreed, and soon King Qinghe, Cheng Wang and several others came in, followed by the upright-faced Qi Qilang.

When Mou Yu saw people coming in, he politely asked the princes kneeling at the door to leave. King Linjiang wanted to have a fit, but King Luoyang grabbed his shoulders and dragged him away.

The gray-haired Eldest Princess Lin'an was helped over, and she glanced at the prince with different expressions, as well as the extremely surprised civil and military officials.

Lin'an smiled: "What? Is it because I don't know my wife, or I can't go in and have a look?"

The crowd didn't dare to speak, and retreated one after another.

Now he was completely convinced, the king of Chu was able to invite so many veterans of the clan who were already very powerful, and he brought this old Buddha to the front, it seems that there is no suspense about his succession.

Princess Lin'an was helped in by Mou Yu. Everyone knew about the game before, and they were surprised but not surprised.

Emperor Tianshou looked at Lin'an, who was much older. This aunt had a good relationship with Mu Chun, and she had been kind to him in the past, but in the end she never saw each other again.

Lin'an also looked at Emperor Tianshou, seeing the haggard and sallow face of the once vigorous man, and sighed silently... People who are ten or twenty years younger than her may have to go first, and it is hard to care about the past.

She took another look at the young man with the aura of heaven and earth and his cold eyes... It's really lucky that he gave birth to a good son.She sighed faintly and sat down without saying a word.

Everyone backed down and took their seats, Mu Ci said: "What I said to my father today is related to the righteousness of the country, please be a witness..."

Everyone stood up, not daring to shout.

Mu Ci bowed his hands to everyone: "Please don't be too polite, you don't need to get up, you don't need to answer, you just watch with your eyes and listen with your ears. In addition, today's affairs will be kept secret for the time being, including today's recording," Mu Ci pointed to the living man, "Please temporarily seal it up and submit it for reading when necessary."

When the emperor passed away, the successor could look at the daily life notes that recorded the emperor's daily words and deeds, sort out the essentials and write down the historical annals, which cannot be sealed, there is no such rule.

Qi Jilang stiffened his neck, Mu Ci only said: "You will know the reason later, just answer first."

Everyone looked at each other and agreed.

The emperor knows that his little Jiulang is rational and sober, never being blinded by the desire for power, and sees through the essence.Hearing his son's clear and gentle voice, his always calm and calm expression, he felt proud in his heart, and gradually calmed down, listening carefully.

Mu Ci's eyes were wise, calm and calm: "Father, I know your wishes. First, I hope that the country will last forever and the people will be peaceful; second, I hope that I will be safe and happy, that my brothers will live in harmony, and that my descendants will prosper."

Emperor Tianshou nodded: "That's right."

"You think that if you want to take care of both, I must inherit the throne." Mu Ci spoke too bluntly to Emperor Tianshou. Except for Wang Youlun and Li Kang who were used to hearing it, everyone else was a little shocked, but according to what Mu Ci said, Just pretend that you have no mouth.

The Heavenly Granted Emperor nodded wildly.

His Jiulang is determined, wise and transparent, possessing the ideological height and all virtues of a national leader.He will achieve brilliance, surpassing any emperor in history.

Such an excellent child should not be stopped by "establishing a son to grow up but not to be a virtuous person", nor should he be bullied by others.

Mu Ci said: "I also know my shortcomings. I am neither a direct wife nor an elder. I still have a few older brothers in front of me; my foundation is shallow and I don't have the support of my in-laws and old ministries; Harshness will inevitably lead to a backlash."

Hearing what Mu Ci said, Emperor Tianshou was a little discouraged.

But Mu Ci said: "Father, you can have more confidence in me. If I want to succeed to the throne, all the previous things are nothing to worry about. I am not a direct descendant, and it is enough to defeat a few brothers..."

Several audience members looked at each other, Li Kang was sitting next to Su Yan, his eyes were sharp and his hands were pressing Su Yan's shoulder who was about to stand up to speak... Everyone finally understood why Mu Ci asked everyone to stop speaking.

Mu Ci didn't pay attention to the reaction of the "audience", and said lightly to Emperor Tianshou: "I don't need to kill them, they are disabled by a small accident, and they are under house arrest. Looking at the current situation, with my resourcefulness, it is by no means difficult to gather military power , other problems are not big problems, and the throne will naturally be secure."

Audience: "..." But there's no way to refute it, because Mu Ci is too smart and resourceful, and his ability to buy people's hearts is too strong - basically everyone sitting here has been subdued by him.

Moreover, this young man has always used fair and aboveboard methods to achieve such effects. If he has no lower limit and uses all kinds of filthy methods, he is afraid that he will not only walk sideways in Daxing, but also step on the planet...

Naturally, Emperor Tianshou also saw the expressions of the audience and was very proud. He patted his son's hand and smiled comfortingly at him: "Jiulang, you mean you won't do this, right?"

"Yes, I won't!" Mu Ci calmly said, "If this country is in turmoil, I will definitely stand up regardless of the means. But now that the world is peaceful and the people live in peace, I don't need to turn the tide."

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, Lin'an let go of his hanging heart, and looked at Mu Ci with more loving eyes.

Mu Ci looked at Emperor Tianshou and praised gently: "To be fair, even if you have shortcomings, you cannot deny your advantages. You are a good emperor, and you let the people have clothes to wear and food to eat. When the people suffer from disasters, you are the first time Thinking of helping the people; in times of crisis, you will personally conquer, defend your home and defend the country, so that the people will not suffer from wars and displacements. I have always respected you."

"I know." The Emperor Tianshou smiled, feeling that today was the happiest day in his life except for the days with Ah Qi.

He is forgiven, loved and respected by his son, which is the highest honor of being a father.

"So, father, I have been unwilling to succeed to the throne. Not only is I longing for freedom, but I am not temporarily retreating because of my shallow foundation. It is because I am fortunate to be in a world of peace. It is very important to maintain this peace, so that the country can develop further. Base."

Yes, Emperor Tianshou is the emperor, so he naturally understands this truth.

Mu Ci said: "Destroying the 'Elderly Inheritance' is not as simple as changing someone to inherit the family business. It will destroy the foundation of the country and this peaceful and prosperous world, and the price is too high."

"How can it be?"

"The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest," Mu Ci analyzed, "The rule of 'the eldest son inherits the heir' is not wrong for the current Daxing. It maintains the stability of the society and the majesty of the imperial power. If the concubine has a big heart , is a sign of chaos in the family, and the royal concubine has a big heart, which is even more harmful, and it is the beginning of chaos in the country. Because others violate this rule, it only affects one family and one house, but we are the royal family, and the competition between brothers is easy to cause the entire country. The turmoil in the country, the internal friction of national power, and the benefit of the enemy country... The royal family is an example for the world. If I break the rules first, I will not have the confidence to ask others to follow.

Speaking of this, Su Yan agreed very much, nodded, and put away his thoughts of remonstrating desperately.

"Therefore, the price of breaking this rule is too great, and I should not do it for my own benefit." Mu Ci said bluntly to Emperor Tianshou, "I believe you have more understanding."

Emperor Tianshou: "..." Son, you really dare to say anything, but he really can't refute.

Before Emperor Tianshou, Emperor Daxing succeeded to the throne very peacefully and never forced the palace.But Emperor Tianshou broke the rules and slaughtered all his brothers, shed too much blood and consumed national power internally. If he hadn't "killed" a Wei family and got a lot of money, he might not be able to maintain the prosperous world at all.

He set a bad example, and everyone thought it was a shortcut to heaven. Not only was the prince forced to take risks, but his other princes also had ambitions.

The eldest princess of Lin'an also has a deep understanding. When the "five kings seized the throne" back then, if it hadn't been a time of prosperity and prosperity, the country was at the peak of power, and her mother Wei spent most of her energy on suppressing the border, she might have died. Civil strife and war broke out, and the enemy country took advantage of it... Fortunately, it is not what it is now.

The empress dowager Wei's energy was scattered, and the other princes were relatively "pure and good", which was the reason why he was succeeded by the emperor, not just because of Wei's old age.

Emperor Tianshou was a little emotional, he was out for revenge... He held the young son's hand tightly: "Father did nothing wrong."

Mu Ci caressed his chest to give him comfort, and said, "I'm not blaming you, the matter is over, and it's pointless to pursue right and wrong. I'm just telling you, I won't break the rules and override the superior in order to control the imperial power. Even if the rules restrict and threaten me. If a rule is wrong or does not adapt to social development, we can try to change it, but the premise is that everyone must first abide by it...Of course, illegal rules that are not conducive to society are not included.”

Emperor Tianshou disapproved of looking at Mu Ci, the sky is big and the earth is big, the emperor is the biggest, what are the rules?

But when he saw the "audience" sitting, he couldn't speak out.

Mu Ci understood it, and said, "Think about it, even if you are an emperor, you have never defeated the rules."

Do not!

Why didn't you beat it?He was clearly defeated.

but……

Emperor Tianshou suddenly felt a surge of hatred from his heart, not for Wei Shi, nor for his son, but for the rules.

Yes, rules.

Tian Shudi is not a stupid person, but no one has ever tried to remove his fig leaf.

It wasn't until he was about to die that he had to admit that he had used everything in his life, and what he tried to defeat was never Wei, not his brother, not a specific enemy, but all kinds of enemies that had been passed down for thousands of years. various rules.

——His mother, Luo Shi, cannot become a queen because the rules do not allow it; his eldest brother Mu Chun cannot be the crown prince because the rules do not allow it;

In the end, he just played a regular side-ball - he killed all his direct brothers, and then took advantage of the rule of "no direct descendant establishes an elder" to inherit the throne.

Now, he has firmly controlled the country for 30 years, and finally he found

——He can't let his favorite woman be his queen, even if it's posthumous, because the rules don't allow it!

——He can't make his youngest son the crown prince... because the rules still don't allow it!

rule!

Not allowed!

What a ridiculous life, Tianshoudi is like Don Quixote, who has always regarded the big windmill as an imaginary enemy and fought against it for the rest of his life. He thinks he has won, but...

never beat...

In fact, he has never defeated these rules that haunt him like a nightmare and suffocate him!

rule!

One word from Mu Ci gave the Emperor Tianshou another knowing blow!

"Father, you stand on the spire of the pagoda, and what supports you is the supreme power given to you by the rules, but you have been trying to break down the cornerstone of the rules under your feet. Don't you think it is a paradox?"

Emperor Tianshou was stunned!

Yes, he found even more sadly that Kuro was right.

He became emperor also based on the rule of "imperial power granted by god", so the subjects bowed down to him, supported him, and obeyed him.If the rules are broken, the society will be unstable... In the end, the country will be in chaos, and eventually the country will perish, and his imperial power will naturally collapse.

Therefore, if the emperor wants to live forever, he must first abide by the rules.If you don't follow the rules, you are either a fool or a tyrant, and the result... everyone understands.

Mu Ci saw that Emperor Tianshou was depressed, and touched his cheek: "Father, you are not happy."

Emperor Tianshou looked at his son blankly, the sadness in his eyes seemed to have substance.

"So, you see, I don't want to spend the rest of my life in this forbidden palace. I'm going to spend all my time and energy, and I won't be very happy in the end."

Yes, Tianshoudi looked back on his life, he was busy, but he rarely had a happy time, and he was not free to love any woman.Thinking about the fact that I have snatched the throne and called the wind and rain for 30 years, the essence is to serve the country as a cow and a horse. In the end, I still have to stay honestly under the rules.

It's not about being a fool or tyrant who breaks the rules and only wants to have fun for a while.

Since you are not happy, what are you doing?

In other words, the Emperor Tianshou was brainwashed by Mu Ci so far, and it is also a rare flower that is hard to find in heaven and earth.
