Chapter 920 Emperor Chu: Is the rebel minister deliberately quarreling at me?

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has his heart.

After hearing what Song Zhiyuan said, Emperor Chu felt a little moved and said, "You are selfless. As the saying goes, the elders are orderly. How many people in the capital value the eldest son and the eldest son and grandson, and most of them choose the heirs. You are not without sons, there are two more. Is it too early to say this?"

It would be fine if Song Zhiyuan gave up his eldest son and chose the second son, but his style obviously had the intention of being inclined toward his nephew.

Song Zhiyuan said: "I know the order of the elders and young people, and I am clear about it, and I am not without selfishness. But before selfishness, I value the future of the Song family more."

"Your Majesty, you know in your heart that the inheritance and reproduction of the family of aristocratic families can achieve success by just being born in the eldest son? It must be that an outstanding leader can lead the clan. I have ambitions. The Song family has only been rising for thirty years. With your holy grace, the popularity is enough. But compared to those aristocratic families, do you believe it or not? If they don't say it, they actually look down on it in their hearts."

A century-old family has its own foundation. Even if you are popular now, or even a powerful prime minister who is the first-rank official, how can you know that the tall building collapses one day and the battles in the Great Xia Dynasty are gone?

But even if those aristocratic families slowly decline, they all have three nails in the rotten ship. Why is this based on the foundation accumulated over time?

So, Song Zhiyuan was committed to taking the family further, and that was why it came. Only when the family was strong and the branches and leaves were lush could they have spare energy.

"Actually, I am not a successor now. I have good seedlings and must be cultivated. You are not unaware that our family is from a poor family and there are several brothers, but the years of the rise are too shallow, and the children are not rich."

Emperor Chu spat: "You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you say this? You brothers, only three are born in the next generation. I will calculate that there are only five or six are born in the next generation? This is called the wealth of children. You are not afraid of the real ones in the capital. It is like the only one who has only one seedling, and I am afraid that you will be ruined by a mess."

"The fourth brother doesn't count. He has inherited your holy grace. He has 'married'. Even his legitimate son is from the Niu family. His surname is Niu, and his name is given by you." Song Zhiyuan said with his hand.

Emperor Chu: "…"

I feel that this rebel minister is a little rebellious, so I will deliberately criticize him.

Song Zhiyuan said: "How many legitimate sons are there, but the biggest one is only sixteen, and they are the eldest son of the minister. They are still far from the time they have to carry the banner, and they are not even married yet. At my age, I should be my grandfather, right? Do you have a few grandchildren?"

Emperor Chu lowered his eyes: "With the emperor's grandson, his heart is even bigger. Everyone is fighting, and the Censorate's group also forces them to fight."

Song Zhiyuan was solemn, and this was the matter of starting a new crown prince.

"As you said, you don't look at the order of the elders, but only look at the ability. If you choose the heir, can you adapt to the royal family?"

Song Zhiyuan stroked his fingers and said, "It depends on what the emperor thinks. Whether he is a virtuous or a legitimate person is entirely up to the emperor's will. I am not afraid of telling you about it. My eldest son is tolerant and has the ability to maintain success, but if he fights in the officialdom and expands territory, he is not as good as Jie'er. If possible, the two brothers complement each other, and I will not worry about the next generation. But it is too early to say this, after all, my second son is still in his infancy."

One principle is clear and all principles are integrated.

Emperor Chu looked thoughtful.
