If it is said that the establishment of the crown prince is like thunder, the thunder is heard very loudly in the sky, and it is actually far away from everyone. After all, the emperor is only such a child. When he is happy, it is not without precedent to confer the newly born Lin'er as the crown prince.

After the Sima family had their own, they would not choose this time to touch the emperor's bad luck if they wanted to fight for anything.But Song Zi is different, this is the title of king, even if it is a false name, this is the supreme title.

The ministers immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must never happen! How can Song Zi, He De, have any qualifications to get the title."

Even if Song Zi is the queen's brother and the biological son of the left prime minister, the emperor wants to compensate the queen and let the prince move to the queen's knee, isn't it the best reward?! And the child was not born by the queen at all, it was the unlucky one The seven beauties, if the emperor doesn't make the seven beauties' brothers, how can he make the queen's own brother.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Qimei is an orphan girl, and she recognizes her in the Song family, she will give the Song family all the benefits, and can give Song Zi the title of township marquis, county marquis, and Song Zi has a daughter-in-law of the princess. The royal family, the countrymen and the like probably look down on them, and they are not suitable.

The Book of the Ministry of Rites said loudly: "Your Majesty, even if the Song family has meritorious service, it is enough to make the queen's brother a viscount, or a baron, how can he be crowned king... or king side by side?! This is not in line with etiquette!"

In fact, in terms of title, Hubu Shangshu is a first-rank official, second only to Marquis, but title is different from official position, official position cannot be passed on to his children, but title can.

Since the founding of the country, there have been very few cases of one-word kings. To be precise, there are only a few of them. One is a great hero who followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world. It was Xu Li, the regent king who once set off a bloody storm in the imperial court and almost shook the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Generally speaking, older emperors would make their eldest son the crown prince, and the other heirs would be crowned princes. If they had particularly outstanding heirs, they would not be able to give higher rewards, and they would barely be able to give a one-word king, but they Can't get the word "side by side".

What will happen to Xu Li, and what will happen to those princes who threaten the crown prince's ascension to the throne? In fact, there is no need to waste words.But even if the people in this title have a bad ending, it sounds unlucky, but after all, it is such a great honor, how can they be willing to give it to a brat.

"Song Zi is not a member of the royal family. If he has no great achievements, he should not be a knight. And Song Zi himself, as the minister of the household department, did not even come to the court today!" Princess Ming'an was barely able to become the royal family. My dear, but she is a married woman, and the princess who is not yet a clan relative is unable to make the royal family recognize her son as a clan clan, let alone the son of the princess.

Yes, they originally wanted to confront Song Zi, but when they looked at the crowd, they found that there was no Song Zi's overly young face in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Those with ulterior motives directly dragged Song Mingcheng into the water: "Yes, Prime Minister Zuo is still alive, if His Majesty wants to reward the queen's relatives, he should also be Prime Minister Zuo."

The establishment of the Song and Ming Dynasties immediately came forward: "This matter must never be done, the humble minister cannot afford the position of king."

"Song Qing is really confused, I can't hear clearly, when did I say that I will give you a title." The emperor rebuked without any affection, "The title is given to Song Zi, naturally because he can afford it, and The honor of this title is only given to Song Zi and cannot be inherited." The only heir of the two of them will inherit the Great Jin Dynasty, and of course it is impossible to inherit any title.

Naturally, there is a big reason for the fierce opposition of the ministers. Generally, there are two types of titles, one is hereditary, the other is non-generational replacement. There are also some regulations that can only be passed on for three generations, but there is no one that cannot be inherited. Uninheritable means that the title sounds nice, but it is actually an empty shelf.

It may be that the emperor has done too many unreasonable things. The courtiers have gone through a lot of tempering and were frightened before. When they heard this, they felt that such an arrangement was acceptable.

No, you can be a big-headed ghost! The Ministry of Rites said: "Your Majesty said that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the king, but you can't inherit it. What about the fief and salary?" As long as Song Zi lives for one day, this title will bring him a steady stream Continuing benefits, bringing shade to his posterity.And sometimes, an empty shelf becomes something worthy of the name in the hands of someone with a heart.

Even if Song Zi is an idiot, but he still has a father who is the left minister and a sister who is the queen. The Song family is in full swing, with too much power, and they are threatening the imperial power!

When Sima Yan heard this, he had already lost his patience, and said coldly: "I don't think you think it's inappropriate to be a knight, but you just don't think this position falls on you, so it's inappropriate."

There are indeed loyal and loyal people who are dedicated to the country, but more of them are ambitious and ambitious rulers.

The emperor has not been in court for two months, and during this time there are very few courtiers. To be precise, in the past six months, the emperor has mostly demoted officials who have made mistakes, and even the replacement of harem personnel has been a little less. become.When the emperor's temper got better, the courtiers naturally became more courageous.

But just now, the emperor glanced at the knife, and they finally remembered Sima Yan's ruthlessness when holding the knife.The emperor's confidence is not because of his name as the emperor, but more because of the military power he holds firmly in his hands.

The ancestral precepts and etiquette have almost zero constraints on today's world. When they are useful, they should be dealt with according to the etiquette.

He said coldly: "I just think that Song Aiqing has meritorious service. He has paid too much and received too little. If he wants to give him a false name, his descendants will not be able to inherit the title, and you will not. I am against you, what do you say, what do you want? In the end, is this country the Sima family's country, or your beloved Qing's country?!"

When he put on such an attitude, the courtiers who argued for reason became weaker, and they did not dare to make as much noise as before: "No, Your Majesty misunderstood the ministers and others. This great river and mountain is naturally His Majesty's. It's just that all the knights are meritorious." Song Zi has no achievements and cannot convince the public."

The emperor's tone sounded slightly relaxed: "Oh, it's just that, if Song Zi has made meritorious deeds, what objection do you have to conferring on him the title?"

"If your majesty says that he has made meritorious service in escorting and promoting Mr. Song to be the Minister of the Household Department, then this achievement will be equalized. If the former Minister of the Household Department has made meritorious service, and making him the Minister of the Household Department is already a reward for exercising the power of the Household Department. The responsibility of the Minister of the Household Department is not a meritorious service."

Unless, unless Song Zi suddenly came back with Xu Li's head in his hand, and then conquered the territory of the ancient country, but is this possible? This is simply impossible.In general, it is not necessary to confer such a great merit for saving the car, at least you have to do some great things that benefit the country and the people to be called a meritorious service.

Hearing this, the emperor smiled instead of anger: "Come here, present the gift presented by Song Zi for me."

After his words fell, Song Zi, who had disappeared into the crowd, appeared. A handsome young man with outstanding appearance appeared from the curtain behind the stage. He stood upright, pushing a wooden cart in his hand, and the four wheels rolled on the Golden Temple. There was a sound, and a huge square shape was placed on the wooden board, which was seven feet high.

The seven-foot-high ornament was covered by a big red velvet cloth, making it difficult for people to see what was hidden inside. After pushing the things in, Song Zi stood in the place that belonged to him.

Sima Yan said: "This is Song Aiqing's gift for the crown prince's birthday, and it is also his achievement."

Under the emperor's signal, the big red curtain was lifted, revealing a three-dimensional, majestic statue of Jiangshan.

The shape of the mountains above and the distribution of the rivers, if you know a little bit about the country's geography, you can tell that this is the country of Jin.

What kind of merit is this? Find a capable craftsman, and they can make the same country, gold, silver, jade, wood, stone, bamboo, whatever materials you want, and they are more beautiful than this country. This mould, dusty, dirty, does not look aesthetically pleasing.

Sima Yan said: "If he can smash this thing, I will reward him ten thousand taels of gold."

The courtiers were eager to make a move, but they didn't dare. After all, this is a map of the mountains and rivers. If they smashed the mountains and rivers, it wouldn't be the emperor who turned around and got angry again.

Sima Yan looked at Song Zi: "Since they don't believe it, let Song Aiqing smash it."

Song Zi followed the example of kindness, picked up the hanging hammer, listened to the sound of the doctor, and then just smashed some floating ash, and the statue remained motionless.

"If Your Majesty doesn't blame you, then I dare to give it a try." Some generals were about to make a move, but they had suffered from the emperor's suffering, so they hurriedly spoke out their ugly words.

"As long as you can smash it completely within half an hour, I will not confer the title of Song Zi, and I will forgive you for not guilty." Sima Yan said, "I mean smashing it completely, not creating cracks, it is considered solid A stone can be pierced by a drop of water."

The general raised his hammer fiercely towards the statue, and then dropped it heavily. He successfully knocked out a small gap. He knocked off some, but the complete brick-like base, after knocking for a long time, only had some potholes, and the whole was not too bad.

On the other hand, the courtiers around him retreated a little unconsciously, wishing to cover their ears for fear of being deafened.

Sima Yan yelled to stop: "That's enough, after knocking for so long, how does Fu Aiqing feel?"

The latter said: "Your Majesty, this is a big gray stone brick, a statue made of stone, of course it is not so easy to break."

Sima Yan said: "The statue, the day before yesterday, was just Aiqing, a wooden product that could be broken with a hammer, but in just one day, it became what it is now. It can't be burned by fire, and it can't be submerged by water. It's not just this A small statue, this thing can turn the earth wall and wooden wall into a solid stone wall overnight, and strengthen my Jinjiang Mountain, if this is not a merit, what else can be considered a merit."

—How is it possible that the wooden wall turns into a stone wall overnight, it sounds like a false lie.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "Your Majesty, this must be a trick of stealing the sky and changing the sun, you must not believe it!"

Sima Yan looked at him coldly: "Do you think I am a fool who is fooled by others at will, or do you think the Minister of the Household Department is telling such a lie that you can tell when you poke it out. It is foolish to make judgments about things you have not seen before." fool."

This... Of course, neither is possible, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was scolded as a fool, is still a little unconvinced.

At this time, commotion broke out outside the palace, and a messenger rushed in holding letters all the way: "Report, report, the northwest rebellion!! The ancient country broke the agreement and invaded in the northwest!"
