"May I ask His Majesty the Emperor, do you want to imitate Li Tang's old deeds?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Zhu Di's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Zhou Xin coldly, his face extremely gloomy.
He never expected that this seventh-grade censor would be so courageous and directly overturn his reputation!
Old stories about Li Tang!
What are Li Tang’s old stories?
Beginning with Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son succession system was broken. The princes fought for the legitimate eldest son and killed each other. In the huge Li Tang Dynasty, palace changes and coups continued, ruining the national destiny of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
Zhou Xin's words completely blocked Wang Ning's scheme!
No matter what conspiracy you are playing!
No matter what great military exploits you talk about!
The prince should be the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, not the second son Zhu Gaoxu!
If you don't follow the eldest son inheritance system, then Li Tang will learn from his mistakes!
Rules are rules, otherwise what's the use?
If everyone doesn't abide by these rules, won't the court and the world be completely in chaos?
Even if you are the emperor, even if you prefer the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, you must abide by the rules!
After Censor Zhou Xin said these words, he lowered his head and retreated to his seat as if nothing happened, without saying a word again.
But just his words were enough.
Qiu Fu and Wang Ning looked at each other and chose to silently retreat to their positions.
They didn't dare to say anything anymore, because they didn't dare!
Didn’t you see that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that his face turned black?
If you continue to dwell on this matter at this time, it will only be self-defeating!
Zhu Di was indeed angry and angry.
This damn censor, with just one word, he was pushed to the wall and unable to get down!
You want the second prince Zhu Gaoxu to go out to win over the people and gather their popularity. You want the second prince Zhu Gaoxu to take charge of the East Palace and become the crown prince. That’s okay, no problem. Then the Ming Dynasty will just follow Li Tang’s path. Is there anything wrong with that?
At worst, the descendants of the old Zhu family will take this as a precedent. In the future, all royal families will stage a show of brothers fighting each other and fighting against each other. It's no big deal!
This is what Zhou Xin said!
You can have your own way, you can be willful!
But since you, the emperor, don't abide by the rules, then don't expect your descendants to abide by the rules!
Today, the second son takes the throne, tomorrow the third son may counterattack, and later the nine sons may fight endlessly to seize the throne. Anyway, once this precedent is set, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace!
Zhu Di's old face turned purple at first, and then turned purple, filled with shame and anger, and filled with rage!
But he still can't have a seizure...
After all, if you really want to talk about it, it is he, Emperor Yongle, who is at fault!
If he had no selfish motives and honestly followed the rules and appointed his eldest son Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince, how could there be so many court battles?
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor's eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, he was staring at Zhou Xin with such a posture that he wanted to skin Zhou Xin and cramp him...
Xie Jin was about to speak to smooth things over for Zhou Xin.
However, Zhu Di suddenly stood up, turned around and left, leaving behind all the civil and military officials in the court looking at each other.
His Majesty the Emperor is gone, so what is there to discuss? The ministers also dispersed.
Li Jinglong rushed back to the Duke's Mansion in a hurry. When he saw Li Hongbi, he shouted excitedly.
"My son, you haven't seen me!"
"The scene in the court today is simply incredible."
"Especially His Majesty the Emperor's expression, tsk tsk...it's really wonderful!"
Li Hongbi rolled his eyes at him angrily and said lazily: "Speak or get out, don't disturb my rest!"
It was definitely impossible to get out. Li Jinglong's strong desire to share filled his body, and he excitedly told everything that happened in the court.
After hearing this, the corners of Li Hongbi's mouth slightly raised, and his mood became even better.
Zhu Di, Zhu Di, you have today too!
How about it?
Does it feel good to be sprayed?
Although Zhou Xin only said one sentence, the damage was really great!
The old story of Li Tang is an out-and-out nightmare for any dynasty!
From Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's Xuanwu Palace coup, to Empress Wu Zetian's Shenlong coup, to Li Longji's Tang Long coup and Xiantian coup...
The entire Li Tang royal family was in chaos. In order to compete for the throne of the Dragon Throne, it can be said that men, women, old and young all went into battle. You sang and I came on stage. My brains were about to burst out!
The fundamental reason is that Li Shimin destroyed the eldest son inheritance system and gave future generations a bad start.
Since you, Li Shimin, can seize power and become emperor by force, why can't we?
So the nightmare of the Li Tang Dynasty began.
Just Li Shimin himself suffered the backlash of fate.
The eldest son Li Chengqian rebelled and was later imprisoned.
The third son, Li Ke, rebelled and was hanged.
The fifth son, Li You, rebelled and died in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The eighth son Li Zhen rebelled, was defeated and committed suicide.
Li Shen, the tenth son, rebelled and was exiled.
…
Li Shimin had fourteen sons, three of whom died young, eight of whom rebelled, but only three of whom died at a healthy age.
I have to say, this is somewhat of a retribution!
I would like to ask Zhu Di if he would feel scared after thinking about it like this?
It’s strange not to be afraid!
He, Zhu Di, is now of the same nature as Li Shimin and has done the same bad things as Li Shimin.
Raising an army to rebel and usurp the country, seizing the country of the successor appointed by the previous emperor, and destroying the eldest son inheritance system, is really no different from Li Shimin's Xuanwu Palace incident!
That means that if Zhu Di doesn't find a way to remedy the situation, the Ming Dynasty may really follow the old path of the Li and Tang Dynasties.
For example, if he really dares to let Zhu Gaoxu take office, the root of the disaster will be laid, and it will eventually brew into heinous consequences!
"Son, my father thinks that Zhou Xin is going to be cold."
"If you offend His Majesty the Emperor so severely, will you be able to reap the rewards?"
Li Hongbi nodded when he heard this.
This Zhou Xin is also the number one figure in history. He hates evil as much as he wants, is selfless, straightforward and outspoken. He is known as the "cold-faced iron" and can be regarded as a model of loyalty and virtuousness.
It's just a pity. The Dog Emperor has never been very narrow-minded, so he is probably going to lose his temper.
"Okay, be more honest lately."
"The Dog Emperor is probably going crazy. You must not provoke him again!"
Li Hongbi gave a few uneasy instructions, and then went to Sheng Yin to continue discussing medical skills.
In the past few days, Sheng Yin, with the help of Li Hongbi, used moxibustion and auricular acupuncture to treat Miss Liu Yue, and supplemented it with decoction of some medicinal materials to nourish Qi and blood. The effect was indeed very good, at least for Liu Yue. The girl's face no longer looked so pale.
Li Hongbi and Sheng Yin smiled at each other, packed their things and headed straight to Qinhuai, which is ten miles away.
Well, one is there to have a heart-to-heart talk and listen to music, and the other is there to have a serious love affair.
At the same time, inside the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Di was furious and smashed everything on the desk!
"How dare Shu Zian bully me like this?"
The monk in black on the side had no expression on his face and watched Zhu Di's performance quietly.
It wasn't until Zhu Di vented his anger that he looked at Monk Daoyan with an unkind expression.
"Monk!"
"I just want to choose a qualified successor for Ming Dynasty. Why..."
Monk Dao Yan sighed and silently leaned over to pick up the memorials.
"Your Majesty, selfishness is selfishness, there is no need to put it in such nice words."
"Your Majesty, please think twice about the Crown Prince matter. Once some rules are broken, it is not that easy to re-establish them!"
Zhu Di's face darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Monk Daoyan coldly.
"You also support the boss?"
"Don't you know that this child is indecisive and that a woman's kindness is not that of a human being?"
Dao Yan almost laughed out of anger at Zhu Di's words, with a face full of joking.
"It's better to be less like a human king than an unethical tyrant, right?"
"Dead thief Bald, you..."
"I resign!"
