"Min'er, don't worry. I will definitely find out the person behind this and avenge you. This person is so ruthless, I have to cut him into pieces to vent my anger."
A stern look flashed in the prince's eyes. The child he valued the most, and the one with the most imperial talents, was tortured to this extent. How could he be willing to do so?
Unexpectedly, Murong Min reached out and pressed the back of his hand. Covered with such a thick quilt, his hand was still cold.
"Father, there is no need to pursue the dark past. I have already reached this point, and I don't want to cause trouble again after my death. I don't want to see bloodshed. I just want to come alone and go away innocently. After my death, father. There is no need to pursue this matter anymore. I don’t ask for much. I just hope that after my death, all the concubines in the East Palace can be exempted from the burial system, and they can all be moved to Wanfu Temple to practice for three years on behalf of my son. After that, they can be free. , there are still a few of them who are in their prime, I don’t want such a fresh life to be destroyed in my hands, I hope my father will agree.”
Until his death, Murong Min still maintained a kind heart and found a way out for those around him.
"But they are already royal wives. Even if they live in this world, they cannot get married again. So what if they don't accompany you?"
The emperor's thoughts are still old-fashioned and traditional. If he dies in the future, many concubines who have nothing to do will inevitably be buried in his grave.
"Father, I don't have many wishes. This is one of them, so please accept it!" Murong Min insisted.
The emperor had no choice but to nod in agreement.
According to the ancestral system, when the prince dies, except for the prince's concubine, all the concubines who have nothing to do will be buried.
This time, it might be the last conversation between father and son. The prince is in a state of retrospection, so he can still have a few words with him.
The emperor knew that he could not delay any longer, so he asked him about establishing the crown prince. He wanted to hear his opinion. Among his six brothers, who had the ability to become the crown prince.
The prince used his last moment of clarity to express his inner thoughts.
"The second emperor's brother is honest and honest, but he is shy and timid when things happen. Although the third emperor's brother is from the same mother as his sons and ministers, the country and the country are not to be trifled with. He has always had a bad temper, a playboy and willful, and cannot hold a big position. In the future, he will be a The idle prince is the best ending.
The Fourth Emperor's younger brother has never been interested in political affairs. He only cares about romance. He also relies on his status to suppress the people. This kind of temperament is obvious to all the ministers, and it is useless to talk about it.
Although the fifth emperor's younger brother pursued Xianyun Yehe in the early days and was a low-profile person, his sons and ministers discovered that he had secretly had close contacts with many ministers in the past two years, and the ambition in his eyes was obvious. Being ambitious is certainly a good thing, but people like him If you get a high position, I'm afraid there won't be room for other brothers in the future.
The sixth emperor's younger brother's mother's family is not prominent, his qualifications are mediocre, and he has no merits or demerits. However, if he is appointed as the crown prince, I am afraid that the officials will not be convinced. "
Murong Min said that he had rejected almost everyone along the way, and now only the seventh prince, Murong Huai, was left.
The emperor naturally understood what he meant:
"Min'er intends to nominate Lao Qi as the crown prince?"
Murong Min nodded and expressed his approval. He was already dying anyway, so he could just say whatever he wanted.
"Why does Min'er prefer Lao Qi? Is there a reason?"
In fact, the emperor had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to hear the prince's opinion.
The prince coughed and his face turned red. The emperor immediately asked someone to bring hot tea to him to drink to help him calm down.
"Min'er, don't be anxious, slow down."
Murong Min was not in a hurry, he was eager to tell what he saw and knew, and wanted to share his father's final worries before he died.
"Father, I have been watching the Seventh Emperor secretly for a long time. A few days ago, when I was still feeling well, I met him more than once and had a heart-to-heart talk with him. I found that the Seventh Emperor has a very broad vision, and Although he acted absurdly in his early years, his military talents are obvious to all. He never kills innocent people indiscriminately, nor does he use his status to suppress the military and civilians. On the contrary, he can still get along with the military and civilians.
In the corruption case, although he was equally matched with the Fifth Emperor's brother, the Fifth Emperor's behavior was ruthless and rude, mostly solved by force and suppressed by his status. However, he convinced the public with his true talents and always produced conclusive evidence. Let's What Jin State needs has always been an emperor who serves the people wholeheartedly, rather than an emperor who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Although the fifth emperor brother also has certain talents, he is too violent..."
Murong Min was right. If Murong Sheng came to power, in order to eliminate dissidents and leave no future troubles, he would definitely push the other brothers to a dead end.
When the Holy Emperor was the prince, there were more than a dozen brothers around him. They fought hard to win the heir. Gradually, the brothers died due to various accidents and provocations, and he also came out of dire straits.
Isn't it a way to protect yourself by pretending to be a foolish and ignorant person at the beginning?
He chose to jump out and make a splash at the right time, and that's how he got to where he is today.
He didn't want to see his close relatives killing each other, but since ancient times, the road to inheriting the throne has been a matter of life and death.
Now, there are still six of his seven sons. Naturally, he only hopes that a few more of his lineage will survive, rather than having to separate life and death for the sake of power.
It is indeed the best arrangement for Murong Huai to be the crown prince. He is benevolent, does practical things, and will not push his brothers into desperate situations. I believe he can handle the big task.
The rise and fall of a dynasty may sometimes be ruined by a flawed emperor. He did not want the Jin Dynasty and the country to prosper in his generation but fail in the next generation.
"I will consider what Min'er said carefully..."
The Holy Emperor had already crossed out the qualifications of the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince to compete for the throne in his mind.
Little did they know that in the dark, the man in brown brocade robe had listened to the whole process, and his fingernails were clenched so hard that they almost dug into his flesh.
Why, why is he a legitimate child? His father never looked at him twice, not even his mother. She was clearly the one who gave birth to him. She will always value and cherish the emperor's brother more.
There is also the imperial brother, who is usually very tolerant and disciplines him, but he personally rejected himself to his father and asked his father not to appoint him as the crown prince, but to recommend a younger brother who was born as a concubine as the crown prince.
He knew clearly that his mother and the imperial concubine had been fighting for their whole lives, but now he had given up the position of crown prince. If the emperor and the imperial concubine became the queen mother in the future, would there still be a place for him and his mother to stand?
Why can't he be the crown prince? Why can't he be the emperor?
They are all the sons of their father. Who said that becoming an emperor depends on his temperament?
It's all fake, it's all fake! They're all just pretending.
Murong Rui's eyes were about to burst with anger, but he couldn't make a sound. If his father knew that he was eavesdropping, it would be over, but he was really unwilling to do so.
