Chapter 62 Emperor
Yongle's health is getting worse and worse.
Everyone in the court was worried.
So...
the matter of the crown prince was once again put on the agenda. The
eldest prince Xiao Qian had devoted himself to studying in Tianlong Temple over the years. He had the appearance of a wise king, and he must be the successful king of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
so.
All officials requested that Xiao Qian be re-established as prince.
This is a normal request.
Today's Emperor Yongle has thirteen sons.
But among them, there are only two who are most successful.
One is the eldest prince Xiao Qian.
The second is the third prince Xiao Ping!
Although the third prince Xiao Ping was powerful, he was also the most loved by Emperor Yongle.
But these three princes are not people who maintain their integrity.
He is warlike!
And love war!
In the past few years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, since Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he has either been at war or on the way to war.
The prosperous age that originally took two generations to build has already gradually gone downhill.
Especially after destroying Da Qi.
Although the current Zhou Dynasty has the strongest military strength, its economy has long been stagnant.
Dazhou... we can't fight anymore!
There will be no war for at least the next ten years or so.
If the throne falls on Xiao Qian, it will be a blessing for the people.
But if it falls on Xiao Ping, it will definitely be a disaster for Great Zhou!
So...
Xiao Qian is the best choice.
It is also the best choice for hundreds of officials.
But...
Emperor Yongle suppressed the voices of the officials.
Zhang Weizheng did not express his position.
He understands the thoughts of Emperor Yongle very well...
Now the Three Kingdoms stand in harmony.
The national fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the most prosperous.
His lifelong ambition is to destroy the other two countries, achieve complete unification, and become the most famous emperor in history.
Even if his generation cannot do it, he also hopes that the next generation can stand on the foundation he created for them and fulfill their last wish.
Xiao Qian is not his choice!
What he wants is an emperor with ambitions to expand his territory.
Rather than an emperor who only guards his own one-third of an acre of land!
So...
Zhang Weizheng said nothing.
One generation, one thing.
He is the Prime Minister of Zhou Dynasty.
What happened to the inheritance of the Zhou royal family's status was not something he should worry about.
Of the thirteen princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty naturally knows who will be the next monarch.
If you participate too much.
Standing in the wrong position.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will not be able to escape the liquidation,
but...it's obvious.
Zhang Weizheng still hesitated.
There is more and more news about Xiao Qian among the people. People love him and praise him everywhere.
Tianlong Temple was even more generous in standing on his side.
To know.
Tianlong Temple has been making a lot of noise in the past few years...
He can be called the leader of Buddhism in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In recent years, although Dazhou has not established a state religion like Daqin and Dazhou.
But Tianlong Temple has a vague tendency to become a state religion.
The only thing missing now is recognition.
And people all over the capital are extremely devout to Tianlong Temple.
Zhang Weizheng's wife is also a pilgrim of Tianlong Temple.
Every time late at night, his wife's pillow talk makes Zhang Weizheng have to think that this Xiao Qian may be the most suitable person to become the monarch of the Zhou Dynasty.
From ancient rituals to people's hearts, except for his lack of prestige, what else can he do? A little off?
It's just...
His Majesty's side...
Zhang Weizheng shook his head.
Wait and see.
Wait and see.
Let's wait and see.
In the end, everything still depends on His Majesty's attitude.
...
March of the 28th year of Yongle.
Emperor Yongle's health was getting worse and worse.
The frequency of imperial doctors entering the palace became increasingly high.
I feel like I can't hold on any longer.
in January.
Ji Yun's child was born in Linzi City.
Ji Bao came overnight to report the news to Chen Luo. As I said at the beginning, I hope Chen Luoche can name this child...
Well,
Chen Luochei is somewhat used to naming.
At that time he was holding a week of transactions in his hand.
This Ji Yun's child is still a boy...
isn't it a coincidence?
Then take the easy route!
Ji Yi?
Ji Bao murmured the name several times, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. With the help of his servants, he staggered back to Ji's house.
This year, his health has gotten worse.
Chen Luo told him to stop coming to his place. What's so good about his place?
Watch yourself fishing?
Or watch yourself eating melon seeds?
Hearing Chen Luo's words, Ji Bao just smiled and said,
"Master Chen is joking, the Ji family is what it is today. Isn't it thanks to Master Chen that it can survive now?
Decades ago, Ji Bao was just a caretaker." The guards of Tianlao.
If Mr. Chen hadn't gone there to rest for a while, it would have been impossible to get to know Mr. Chen.
Then when Emperor Yongle entered the capital, we would have died in the army.
Where, and now? Ji Bao?
And if Ji Yun hadn't been guided by you, how could he have become the general he is today?
The Ji family owes so much to Master Chen.
But Ji Bao is just an ordinary person.
Master Chen is also an extraordinary person. .
I really don’t know how to repay him.
The only thing I can do is to come often to pay my respects to Mr. Chen while he is still alive. This is the only thing Ji Bao can do now."
Chen Luo smiled.
In fact, the Ji family doesn't owe them anything.
Many times, it is Ji Bao's own good fortune.
More often than not, it is Ji Bao who knows the choice.
Just like the Emperor Jianwen incident.
Who can give up their rights without hesitation?
Although he said that he would not fight for his father-in-law.
But sometimes, isn't this Ji Bao just like him?
On this day, Ji Bao came again.
"Master Chen, when I was far away, I thought I saw a monk entering the yard? Why is he missing?"
When he came in, he saw Chen Luo planting trees in the yard.
There was an iron catalpa thrown next to it.
"Oh? Did you see it wrong? How could a bald... monk come to our house?"
Chen Luo stood up and stepped on the ground hard.
Stamp the tree in a circle.
He said calmly: "You are old, your eyes are dazzled!"
"Really?"
Ji Bao thought for a moment, maybe...
he was older.
Dizziness is normal.
"But Mr. Chen has planted a lot of trees in the past few months... At a glance, there are dozens of trees planted in this yard."
Looking at the saplings all over the yard.
Ji Bao sighed a little.
Mr. Chen has so many interests and hobbies.
"Really? It looks like there are quite a lot of them."
Chen Luo looked around and saw that it was true, the yard was full of them.
"But it's okay... With enough nutrition, they will grow taller and bigger."
"Master Chen is right,"
Ji Bao said.
Chatting with Chen Luo about recent events: "Recently, the masters of Tianlong Temple often disappear for some unknown reason. In just a few months, at least twenty or thirty people have disappeared... I don't know what's going on in this world. Got it!"
Chen Luo lay on the recliner.
Shaking gently.
yes!
I don’t know what’s wrong with this world.
This yard seems quite big, but how come it is full of trees after just planting a few trees?
Look.
If I want to buy a house next time, I will buy one with a larger yard.
This made him miss the library more and more recently.
If it were there, I wouldn't have this trouble.
"Next time, don't plant it.
Otherwise, there will be no place to stay!"
But the next words brought Chen Luo back from his thoughts.
"I heard that Prime Minister Zhang Weizheng made a speech in the court today, hoping that your Majesty would make the eldest prince the crown prince. This time, your Majesty did not refute, but remained silent." "This time, your Majesty may really want to compromise!" As soon as these words came out
,
Chen Luo's eyes suddenly narrowed...
This was not good information.
I'm afraid Sima Junliang is about to appear...
