The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

The civil servants and military generals in the camp were stunned, and the pen tip of the Minister of the Ministry of War who was writing the pen paused in the air, and the content after the word "Gai Li" was still empty.

The Han people have always set up a prince to establish a prince. If the emperor breaks this rule, it will generally lead to huge turmoil in the court and desperate protests by civil officials.

In addition to the superficial reasons such as Han officials' emphasis on etiquette and law, there are also off-the-table reasons related to various interest groups.

Once this rule is broken, for example, "Li Chang" is changed to "Li Xian", then there will be no unified standard of measurement that can convince the public, and whether the virtuous or the virtuous can perform according to the emperor's preferences.

This will not only cause the brothers of the Tian family to fight against each other, but also cause the civil servants to stand in line with the party, eradicate dissidents, and shake the foundation of the country.

But the current situation is quite special. All the civil servants brought by the emperor are princelings. This is to check and balance the power of the third prince's uncle.

The Minister of the Ministry of War, when he learned of the emperor's injury, was already thinking about the important matter of establishing a reserve.

If according to the rules, the second prince is changed to be the crown prince, according to the character of the second prince, there is almost no suspense that he will become a puppet of Concubine Tong's party, and he may even ignore the court affairs at all and let the prince's interest group be wiped out.

Therefore, the civil officials present would not ask the emperor to change the second prince, but hoped that the emperor would skip the second and third princes and choose a new heir from among the little princes close to the prince.

Because of the need to fight against the forces of the Tong family, the new crown prince has to be tougher if he wants to be stable. The fifth prince is the best candidate, and the top priority is to exchange the hostages with Khitan as soon as possible.

In the eyes of the minister, the sixth prince's ears are too soft, no one can offend him, I'm afraid he won't be able to help him up.

However, it never occurred to him that the crown prince chosen by the emperor was not the second or fifth prince, but the seventh prince.

For the ministers, this choice was like the emperor was hungry. The ministers gave him a choice of fish and beef, but the emperor chose to go out and eat the bark.

The name of the Seventh Prince's child prodigy was well-known in the government and the public in his early years. The common people had more or less revered fantasies about this prince, but the courtiers who knew the situation had no fantasies at all.

Because this little prince's behavior and thoughts are always beyond the scope of everyone's speculation and understanding, it is simply perverse and uninhibited.

Not to mention whether this little guy can cooperate with the princelings to resist the attack of the three princelings, even if he resists, the ministers don't think that such a child in an out-of-the-way situation can bear the burden of the country.

So at this moment, it is not only the third prince and Tong Ningzhao who oppose the candidate for the new crown prince, but the other princeling ministers actually cannot accept the new crown prince.

All the people in the camp were deadlocked.

But no one dared to raise objections.

The emperor just hung his breath, whoever argues a few words, if he is angry with the emperor, the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse at the fingertips, it will be a great crime that will implicate the nine clans, and it just happens to be a victim of the new crown prince Liwei.

Ministers are waiting.

When the emperor regained his senses, he might stop gnawing on the bark and choose fish to eat when he came back.

However, before the emperor changed his mind, they were dismissed by the emperor.

The emperor only let the seventh prince stay alone, entrusting some matters.

Everyone bowed and left, the Seventh Prince was still kneeling on the ground, frowning, looking down at the carpet seriously, as if he was thinking about some important national affairs.

The emperor raised his hand and patted the side of the couch, and said with difficulty: "Lu Qian, come here."

The seventh prince stood up with his head down, walked over to his father and sat down beside his father, raised his eyes to see the lifeless face of the emperor, and then quickly hung down angrily, as if he didn't face up to his father's weakness. will not happen.

The emperor handed the soldier talisman he had retrieved from the third prince to the seventh prince: "It's ready."

The Seventh Prince didn't move.

The emperor had no choice but to put down the soldier talisman first, and give his youngest son some time to digest everything that happened.

At the moment when his life was about to burn out, the emperor's previous hidden worries suddenly became imminent.

At this moment, he categorically believed in Aunt Bo's prophecy, not only because he believed in the destiny, but also because at this moment of desperation, Aunt Bo's suggestion gave him a breakthrough new consideration, the consideration of the heir to the throne.

In fact, in the past, the emperor had been secretly worried that the prince's personality would be closer to that of a man of letters, rather than an emperor.

The prince is more than virtuous, more than filial piety, emphasizing love and righteousness, but lacks some ruthlessness and power tactics that take the overall situation into consideration.

Such a person is more suitable to be loyal to an official, rather than to be the lord of the country.

From the emperor's point of view, among the sons, the fourth child possesses just the right thickness and overall outlook, as well as enough endurance and skillful means, but it's a pity that he lacks the character and toughness of an emperor.

The third child is too weak and incompetent.

The old five and the sixth have nothing to do, and they are not smart enough to deal with civil servants.

He never thought about the seventh prince, this little guy has always been his pistachio, no one would associate the seventh prince with the crown prince.

Aunt Po's prophecy broke the emperor's confinement of thinking, and he suddenly felt that Lao Qi's temperament was almost a born emperor.

This child's way of thinking is extremely unique. He doesn't need to study the emperor's art painstakingly, so that the civil servants can't guess his mind, but he can always make the most favorable choice on key events.

No one knows what he thinks, he looks stupid, but he seems to understand everything.

And the highest way of governing the country advocated by the emperors of all dynasties is to use Confucianism externally and use Huang Lao internally.

This realm seems to be naturally attached to his fat son.

The core of Huang Lao's art is "Tao", which contains the ultimate state of governance by doing nothing - no good, no evil, inclusive, and conforming to nature.

The way of heaven requires the emperor to stand in a state of selflessness, without prejudice to everything, to let the officials in office and the peasants, merchants and warriors all over the world play their subjective initiative, not to deliberately guide and restrict, let everyone work hard for their own interests, and let everyone work hard for their own interests. Without the walking dead at the mercy of others, the country will naturally become strong.

But when it comes to practical implementation, people are not grass and trees, who can completely look at all beings from the perspective of selflessness?Who can always make decisions that maximize benefits from an overall perspective?

For a moment, the prophecy that Aunt Bo gave him suddenly made him think clearly——

His youngest son can reach this realm without any effort.

The emperor has been trying to get closer to the ultimate emperor's way all his life, but at this moment he suddenly finds that his youngest son seems to have stood at the top of the destination he wanted to reach since he was born.

Thinking of this, the youngest son's eccentric temperament since childhood made him feel suddenly enlightened, and the gods gave him a natural emperor's embryo.

That's why he made such a decision decisively.

It's a pity that he understood it too late, and everything happened so suddenly. The youngest son had never experienced any setbacks since he was a child. How could this son, who was indifferent to the world, suddenly develop the ambition and desire to control the world?

The emperor's sanity, which was condensed by willpower, gradually became slack, and his head tilted to the side due to exhaustion.

The seventh prince, who was lowering his head, immediately reached out his hand to stabilize the emperor's shoulder, grabbed his father's arm with one hand and hung it on the back of his neck, and dragged his waist with the other hand to push him forward, as if he wanted the emperor to lie down and rest. for a while.

Afraid of affecting the wound of the father, his subordinates did not dare to use too much force, they could only push little by little.

The emperor turned his head to look at his son's childish face that was still lacking in masculinity, and asked in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? Be quick, I can't even carry it, how can I carry my ancestor's country in the future?"

The seventh prince stubbornly refused: "Father, the emperor will carry it."

"Father is tired."

"The imperial doctor gave me some medicine, and my father recovered soon. I'm going to find my eldest brother and fifth brother, and bring my son back to the palace."

The emperor frowned worriedly, looked seriously at his son who was not yet ready to grow up, and said in a low voice: "Wang Sun Jia asked: Rather than flattering Ao, what does it mean to flatter Zao?"

The Seventh Prince refused to say a word.

The emperor forced to ask: "Answer me."

The seventh prince replied in a low voice: "My son said: Otherwise, I will be punished by heaven and have nothing to pray for."

The emperor said: "Yes, this is the foundation of a gentleman. When you were young, you said that you knew the style of a gentleman. A gentleman never attaches, and will never rely on a backer. The mountain will fall. If you can't stand on your own, you can only rely on it." Then fell to pieces, think about your mother and concubine, she can only choose to cling to this mountain, if you can't stand up by yourself, do you still want to watch your mother and concubine fall to pieces with me?"

The seventh prince finally looked at his father with grievances: "Wait for the eldest brother and fifth brother to come back and carry it for the father."

"I have chosen you." The emperor condensed his last strength and looked at his son majesticly: "Lu Qian, can you afford it?"

The seventh prince avoided looking.

"Lu...cough...cough cough!" The emperor coughed violently in anxiety.

The seventh prince hastily pulled up the thin quilt to cover his father, and reluctantly said: "My son can afford it."

The emperor stabilized his breath, and asked in a deep voice: "I didn't hear clearly."

The seventh prince had no choice but to muster all his strength and shout: "My son can afford it!"

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. After he let go, his sanity lost instantly, and he told his son in a daze: "The governor of the Northwest is under the control of Tong Ningzhao. I haven't...you can't...for the time being..."

The seventh prince put his ear close to his father's mouth, wanting to hear his father's explanation clearly.

The emperor couldn't gather his slack spirit, and murmured in confusion: "You can't... rush to cut off... the Tong family's wings, the cabinet and the six departments and nine ministers... don't rush to replace people, first win... win..."

The Seventh Prince kept leaning over and listening to his ears, but he didn't wait for his father's next explanation.

"Father? Father!" The Seventh Prince turned his head and shouted, "Emperor Physician!"

The imperial doctor waiting outside the door immediately walked in, and after taking the pulse, he told the little prince that the emperor needed to rest as his injury was not healed.

The seventh prince's eyes were red. Hearing that his father had just rested, he regained his prestige as a prince in front of the imperial physician.

After the imperial physician retreated, the seventh prince carefully lay down beside the emperor, buried his chubby face in his father's arms, like a little wolf cub asking for the last remaining warmth of a dying mother wolf.

It was the second watch, and the little chubby boy hadn't come back yet, Xue Yao sat alone beside the shaking candlelight.

The sixth prince has already told him about the change of the emperor into the crown prince.

This sudden change was simply unimaginable.

Xue Yao couldn't figure it out, how could the emperor somehow hand over the country to Husky's son?And it was when the eldest prince disappeared and the third prince gained power.

What is the intention of pulling the little fat boy out as a target at this time?

It's better to directly appoint the third prince, so as not to bring any hatred to his family.

Before all the foreseeable terrible things happened, Xue Yao was already in a state of disarray.

Why is the little fat cub still in the emperor's tent at this moment?

Could it have come out and been captured by the Third Prince's men?

Thinking of this, Xue Yao put on his coat again and walked out of the tent, waiting in the dark eagerly waiting.
