"Whoever wants to be a second minister can do it. Anyway, I don't want to! There are rules and regulations for the inheritance of the throne since ancient times, and the eldest son's inheritance system is unbreakable!"
"This is the solid foundation of the country! Today's Japanese devil Liu Yixin has only learned the tricks of disobeying Zhu Di, but don't forget that the Ming Dynasty also fell in his hands!"
"If it hadn't been for Zhu Di's rebellion and the tyrant's cruel rule of iron-blooded suppression, the Ming Dynasty's ruling foundation would not have been shaken! With Emperor Jianwen's benevolent government, the Ming Dynasty would only become more and more prosperous!"
"Not only that, the civil war consumed the Ming Dynasty's national power and paved the way for its later decline!"
"My lords are all well-read history books. We must not forget these scenes in history, right?"
Weng Tonghe was so angry that his hair and beard were all froze, and his eyes were wide open with anger, as if he wanted to scold all the officials among them!
"Why do saints advocate the system of eldest son inheritance? Don't the saints know that this system has hidden dangers? Don't the saints still understand the advantages and disadvantages of establishing virtuous people and establishing elders?"
"No! It is precisely because the saint knows the pros and cons that he finally chose the system of establishing chiefs!"
"Because the country is stable, there should be no civil war or division... This is the highest political task! All other side issues should be avoided!"
"Anyone who goes against this righteousness is a traitor!"
"I know that among all the adults here, there must be a small group of people who think that Prince Gong is capable, strong, and experienced... Yes, I think so too!"
"But no matter how strong and capable he is! He is not a prince, and he has no right to interfere with the throne because Emperor Daoguang has abandoned him!"
"If this world were all based on meritocracy, if even the throne could be based on meritocracy, then the world would be in chaos! Just like today, a civil war breaks out!"
"The higher the talent, the greater the destructive power of this kind of person!" Weng Tonghe was so angry that he even stamped his feet and beat his chest, "I must make my treasonous remarks clear!"
"Even if Long Live Master doesn't know anything, he doesn't understand anything! He is just an incompetent king! We, the ministers, still have to help!"
"Because Long Live Lord is here, this country will be peaceful, and there will be no civil war in the world! People will not die in vain!"
"The king is lacking in ability, what do our ministers do? We are auxiliary, you use your ability to make up for it! Instead of following the rebellious ministers and traitors to rebel and overthrow!"
"Once such a trend arises, how will the Qing Dynasty survive in the future? Today, Prince Gong can overthrow His Majesty, but tomorrow, Prince Zheng, can you also find an excuse to overthrow Guiziliu?"
"Prince Li, Prince Qing, Prince Rui... can all of them jump out and overthrow the monarch?"
"If this is the case, how can the world maintain stability and how can all people live and work in peace and contentment?"
Weng Tonghe knelt down in front of Emperor Tongzhi with a bang, "Your Majesty, why waste any more words! Before the war broke out, of course you could have persuaded me with kind words, but now that the war has broken out, why are you wasting so much money?"
"Let's fight when it's time to fight. So what if the Japanese army has millions of soldiers? They are just a bunch of mobs and victims of disaster!"
"It looks fierce, but facing our elite soldiers who are worth ten, a million dollars is nothing more than a chicken and a dog!"
"Your Majesty! Give the order! Call the troops of King Qin from all over the world to the capital, let the capital's 100,000 troops respond to the enemy, and recruit troops from the capital's millions of people!"
"It's just a big war. Now that it's coming, we can't be afraid!"
Weng Tonghe was really full of fire today. A Confucian minister spoke so loudly that the military attachés couldn't help but tighten their spirits!
Zai Chun ripped off the towel on his forehead and laughed loudly, "Okay, okay... This is the great scholar of the world who truly understands the words of the saint!"
"It's true that a hero can be recognized by a stern man! When the country is in crisis, the necks of scholars are even tougher than some generals!"
"That's right... when the soldiers come, we will stop them, and when the water comes, we will stop them! Since my sixth uncle wants to imitate Zhu Di, let's see if my nephew, I, is willing to be Emperor Jianwen!"
Boom...boom...
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard two loud bangs not far from the south. It must be the explosions of Lao Xingwu!
The sound was so loud that the door of Taihe shook, and the dust on the beams that had not been swept for hundreds of years began to fall.
"Where is the explosion...check quickly..."
"Report..." After a while, a pawn on horseback rushed in from the Meridian Gate, knelt down at the imperial steps of Taihe Gate and reported, "Your Majesty! There was a carriage accident in the duty room of the Ministry of Works at Qianbu Corridor and at the Zhengyang Gate. Attack..."
"A van disguised as delivering food to Qianbulang suddenly exploded. Three people in the duty room of the Ministry of Industry were killed on the spot, and the roof collapsed..."
"Following this, the defenders at Zhengyang Gate suddenly encountered a frightening horse rushing through the gate. The bomb in the carriage exploded at the city gate. Five defenders died tragically and more than ten people were injured..."
"At this moment, the capital is shaken, the people of Dashilan are fleeing in panic, and there is chaos in the south and north cities..."
"Damn it! My capital! It's already riddled with holes? Are they going to explode in my Taihe Hall tomorrow?" Zai Chun roared like crazy.
"King Yu! I asked you to take care of the public security of the capital. Is this how you do it? Go to martial law throughout the city immediately and track down the murderer for me!"
"Hey...I'll go right now, go right now..." King Yu was so frightened that he peeed. When he ran out of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, he tripped over the door frame and fell heavily.
With an unhealthy flush on his face, Zai Chun stared at the ministers in the palace and sneered, "I have made up my mind! From now on, I will no longer have any talks with the rebellious Yi Xin... Since he wants to fight, he will fight to the end. Fight until death, until no one on the other side can survive!"
"Haha... This capital is too dangerous. In order to ensure the safety of all the ministers, from now on, all the family members of the eight banner princes, Beile Beizi, and the third-rank and above officials in the capital..."
"Send them all to the Nanchizi Street area of the Imperial City for resettlement...it's too dangerous outside, dear ladies, don't you think so?"
Hiss... The ministers suddenly took a breath of cold air. Everyone knew that the emperor was going to take hostages, but who dared to refute it. If anyone disagreed at this moment, it would prove to be disloyal, and he might even lose his life by then.
"Thank you, Lord! Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
The ministers gradually dispersed, leaving only a few close ministers named by Zai Chun, who he trusted very much.
At this time, Zai Chun seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His head was dizzy and his eyesight blurred, and he fell directly onto the bed. Bao Jun, Weng Tong and others were so frightened that they rushed to help him.
"I...there's nothing wrong...it's just that I...caught the cold last night..."
