King Yi on the carriage fell into deep thought. To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in this kind of internal struggle, especially the battle for the inheritance that everyone was avoiding.
Although Xiao Letian only has one son now, internal strife in the harem has gradually emerged. Look at Xiao Letian's arrangements. He did not dare to announce the big news of Fu Yin'er's birth to the outside world.
Why? Rather than wanting to stabilize the hearts of the Manchus, the Chinese rushed to break with the Manchus before sorting out their diplomatic relations with Europe, especially the United Kingdom, which could only promote an alliance between the Manchus and the United Kingdom in disguise.
By then, not only will the fortress plan be unable to be carried out, but perhaps what awaits the Chinese is a super war involving the British.
This is not alarmist. People of this era, especially Asians, attach great importance to the issue of heirs. A politician who has no descendants or whose descendants are not good is undoubtedly reassuring, because everyone knows that he can only be good for one generation.
People rarely reach their seventies since ancient times, and human life is extremely short. Especially for politicians, it takes a long time to learn and accumulate. Politicians generally shine after the age of forty.
It is conceivable that politicians of this age do not have much time to rebel even if they want to. Many kings are not willing to use young ministers, which may not be due to this consideration.
Generally speaking, for powerful ministers, especially those with military power, the court will definitely pay attention to the issue of his heirs. It will first analyze the age of the person, and then analyze the excellence of his descendants.
If you are older and your offspring are not very outstanding, then the court can still rest assured with such a powerful minister, just like Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan and others, who are very capable and have loyal troops.
But none of their children can really become great people, which is also a relatively reassuring aspect of the Manchus. It's not that Zeng Guofan's descendants are not outstanding, but that those people are not the material to aspire to the top.
Being a mid-level official or a scholar is quite competent, but if they really want to be on par with the commander-in-chief and be able to touch the most important weapons of the country, they don't have such ability.
What the Manchus were most afraid of was not only Xiao Letian's Western Kung Fu and reputation for being invincible in a hundred battles, but what they were even more afraid of was Xiao Letian's age. He was only in his early thirties and had such a career. If he was given another thirty years to develop, this would be enough. have to?
If the big news about Xiao Letian's birth of a son comes out at this time, then everyone in the world who has dissatisfaction will have to be careful.
Conglongzhixin, which Chinese people don’t love Conglongzhixin?
"It's troublesome, it's really troublesome! But I can't get rid of this trouble..." King Yi sighed to himself.
To be honest, Shi Dakai really had a premonition that Huniu approached Yi Wang and asked him to assist Fu Yin'er. Of course, this was something he tried his best to avoid.
How can there be family affection in a king's harem? The scene of the Kingdom of Heaven killing each other is still vivid in my mind. It is not impossible for Xiao Letian to have several more sons in the future. When the time comes, there will be a series of big and small ones. How can we not fight over them?
Would it be better if I got involved in this myself?
Even if the princes fight for the right to inherit the throne, he, the King of Wings, may not take sides, but there are not a few direct conflicts between emperors and princes in history!
There is no precedent for being forced to become the emperor. Who can guarantee that Ruhu will not dare to challenge Tiger's authority? If father and son fight each other, King Yi will really be in trouble.
Young Wang Junlan looked at the prince whose expression changed repeatedly, and could guess what King Yi was worried about. Before coming, Wang Ju asked him to watch more, listen more and talk less, but young people sometimes have a desire to show off.
His eyes rolled around for several times, and he suddenly said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, some of the things I said may be a bit inappropriate... but it's like it's stuck in your throat and you can't spit it out!"
"But it doesn't matter! There are no outsiders here..." King Yi smiled.
"Your Majesty, the words that have come out of my mouth today have reached your ears. I will not admit anything after this!"
Wang Junlan smiled slightly, "I think it would be better for the prince to agree to Mrs. Hu! Not only because of the friendship between the second lady and you, but also because you are the uncle of the prince, and because of this relationship, you can't watch those two women suffer. Isn’t it a grievance?”
"In the final analysis, the Chinese nation still belongs to the head of state, so in the end, the future belongs to the prince! Now the head of state doesn't know what kind of medicine he took, or he deliberately used some strategy to refuse to ascend the throne. What is Mrs. Tiger thinking at this time?"
"She can only feel at ease if she gets more support from old people like you!"
At this point, Wang Junlan suddenly paused for a moment, thinking about it for more than ten seconds, and finally gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "My lord, you must accept Mrs. Tiger's olive branch. No one else can take the crown prince's boat." Go up, you have to go up!”
"Why?" Fangguan asked.
"Because you are King Yi! If you don't board the prince's ship and don't show your support for the prince, what will others think of you? Don't forget, now even Wang Ju and Chief of Staff Xiao have begun to express their support in front of the head of state. Be loyal..."
"Because they all know that Your Majesty, you are a great banner within the Chinese clan, and you are also a big figure who can keep pace with the head of state. The Heavenly Kingdom veteran force is still very powerful in the Chinese clan at this moment!"
"You have no objections, but who can guarantee that others have no objections?"
"You didn't jump on the prince's boat...is it because you want to drive your own boat?"
Heart-breaking words, these are heart-breaking words! When King Yi heard this, all the hairs on his back stood up. This was still a very scary possibility.
Yes, you, Shi Dakai, have the reputation and ability to rebel. There are many people in the Chinese people who are afraid of you, and there are also many people who doubt you.
Among the entire Chinese clan, Shi Dakai is the only one who must support Xiao Letian's ascension to the throne and the crown prince's ascension to the throne, because this is Shi Dakai's attitude to the entire Chinese clan that he will not rebel.
Others may have other choices, such as federation, republic, constitutional monarchy, etc., but King Yi has no choice. He must use this attitude to dispel the doubts of the entire Chinese top brass.
After breaking out in a cold sweat, King Yi clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Little brother, what a great talent! What a great talent... I am so enlightened that I can wake up the dreamer with just one word!"
"Don't say anything anymore. I sent a telegram to Madam Tiger, and the gifts I bought for Fu Yin'er in Europe are not sent back with the envoys. I'm looking for a merchant ship to send them back in advance..."
"If Fusang gives me a chance to eat in the future, I would also like to go to Fusang to relax..."
Wang Junlan straightened his body and returned the favor with cupped fists, "That's right. It's really a blessing for my Chinese family that the prince can think like this! Of course it's also a blessing for the prince..."
All the conspiracies and secret plans have been revealed at this moment. Fang Guan held her mouth and her eyes turned red again, because she knew that there were so many conspiracies and the calculations of so many forces...
You can't control it at all, but you still want to stay in Europe freely? That's just a dream...
Along the Thames River, several carriages were speeding through the night. I don’t know how many people were sleepless that night!
