Chapter Four: My brother is destined to miss the throne
"Is this... related to the title of prince?"
Zhao Zheng was stunned at first, and then laughed and said.
When will the throne be inherited and the title of prince must be?
Why haven’t I heard of this statement? And there is no such thing in the law of Dadao!
"Of course, my elder brother! This is a hidden rule that all countries have agreed upon since ancient times and present! Otherwise... why was the eldest son directly named Prince when he was crowned as a prince? Why did he do this more than he did?"
Zhao Yun should have asked back and said, but Zhao Zheng couldn't help but stagnate.
"Also, if not, when the fourth emperor was named prince, how could the court and the people were so shocked? They thought that this was the father's intention to abolish the eldest son and make the King of Qi the crown prince!"
Thinking about the moment when the Fourth Emperor Brother was awarded the title of Prince for defeating the Northern Di, Zhao Yun couldn't help but add and said.
"Uh... Having said that, hasn't the father and the emperor still made the fourth prince the crown prince after all?"
Zhao Zheng knew the storm that caused when the fourth emperor was appointed as a prince.
But he keenly found the loopholes in Yunmei's words!
Because even to this day, the position of the prince of the East Palace is still hanging in the air and has never been established!
In this case, adding a prince means having the opportunity to ascend to the position of prince...
Obviously, it's a bit untenable!
"That's right, but you never thought about why the father acquiesced to the fight between the two emperors, but he has been... unwilling to establish the position of crown prince?"
Zhao Yun looked at the emperor's brother with a bright look and said softly.
"This... the father is still hesitating in his heart, and he doesn't know who should choose to succeed the Grand Principal."
Zhao Zhengluo hesitated and then said in response.
"Yes! The father has indeed not made a decision, but could it be... hesitating between the eldest and fourth brothers?"
As soon as this said, Zhao Zheng was stunned and then asked subconsciously.
"Otherwise... what?"
"Is there any need to say? I may choose you, my elder brother!!"
Zhao Yun immediately pressed her voice, clenched her fists, and said in a low voice as if she was a little excited!
"Ah? Yun'er, you're afraid you haven't woken up yet? Your father doesn't choose the eldest and fourth brothers... how could he choose the youngest ninth prince, who is my youngest?!"
Zhao Zheng was shocked and couldn't help but wave his hands and said!
He had never had such an outrageous idea, and he had never dared to covet the supreme position!!
Even though Qin is now becoming rich and powerful, regardless of land area or population and military strength, it is a world of difference compared to the entire Dagan Dynasty!
It can be said that in front of the Holy Emperor who was in charge of the entire Dagan Dynasty, he and Qin did not even have the power to fight back!
Therefore, he never thought of competing for the supreme throne. After all, he was enthroned in a border county and was beyond reach for major events in the country and could not do anything at all!
Compared with the great emperor, Prince Yan, Zhao Kuo, who has a great reputation, and the fourth emperor, Prince Qi, who has a high prestige in the army, has a high prestige.
As a small vassal king who was enfeoffed in a border county, how can he fight with one force?
Therefore, even if he was appointed as a prince by his father, Zhao Zheng had never had a father who might choose him... Such an amazing idea!
Being ambitious may be a good thing.
But if you do not have the strength that matches your ambition, you will be destined to die without a place of burial!
Therefore, Zhao Zheng simply let himself have no ambitions and could enjoy his life peacefully.
In his opinion, since he could live a leisurely life safely...
Why do you have to carry your head and do those extremely risky things?
"So what is impossible? The eldest and fourth brothers are princes, and you are also princes! Why is it impossible to compete for the throne?!"
Zhao Yun immediately stubbornly stubbornly, as if she was very dissatisfied!
"Then why don't you say that the fourth emperor's title is hereditary? Doesn't this mean that the father prefers the fourth emperor's brother rather than me?"
Zhao Zheng shook his head repeatedly and said speechlessly.
"this……"
Zhao Yun was stunned at first, then quickly reacted and immediately refuted!
"Maybe the father's intention is that it's good to let the fourth emperor be a prince forever!"
"Hi~Yun'er..."
Zhao Zheng was really amused by Yuner's cuteness for a moment.
Because obviously when she talked about this, she began to make things worse.
"Then why don't you say that, I have no power or power in the court and the public... I don't even have a supporter at all!"
Zhao Zheng smiled and shook his head, but retorted helplessly.
"The eldest brother and the fourth brother have obtained the support of civil and military officers respectively! In this case... do you think I will have a chance to compete with the two emperor brothers for the supreme throne?"
"this……"
Zhao Yun was speechless, but she didn't know how to argue.
Just because she has lived in the capital for a long time, how could she not know that the eldest brother and the fourth brother have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years!
Now the two people are in the government and the country... how huge are they?!
"What's more, even without the Great Emperor and the Fourth Emperor, the Chinese civil and military ministers in the court... it is almost impossible to support the Emperor's brother, I ascend the throne!"
Zhao Zheng sighed suddenly and couldn't help but say quietly.
"Ah? Why is this, the emperor brother?!"
Zhao Yun was stunned, but she didn't know what the emperor's words meant?
"Have you never thought about why Qin State became prosperous and powerful due to reforms, but the other prefectures and counties in Daqian seemed to be unheard of... and never had the intention of imitating it?"
As soon as this said, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped, but seemed to understand something in a flash. Even the originally clenched fists suddenly fell down...
When Zhao Zheng saw her expression, he couldn't help but smile gently, stroked her little head and sighed leisurely.
"Yun'er, you are still young, but you don't know that the reforms of Qin have touched the fundamental interests of the entire powerful class..."
Whether it is to spread the ranks to the acres, to abolish the imperial examinations, or to promulgate the Qin Code and the Qin Punishment Code, to abolish the special preferential treatment of gentry and powerful people, they are shackled under the criminal law.
Or the abolition of the well-field system, slavery, and the implementation of the meritorious and title system gives the lower-level people the opportunity to achieve class leap through their own struggles!
These various new reforms and policies have almost fundamentally touched the vital interests of the entire aristocratic people!
Therefore, under what circumstances, the civil and military ministers at the top of the entire Daqian power class would never be able to support a prince who was destined to liquidate himself ascend to the throne!
They would even rather support the eighth prince, King Jin, Zhao Sheng, or the sixth prince, King Song, Zhao Qian, than support the ninth prince, Prince Qin, Zhao Zheng, who is 'wise and divine martial'!
It’s just because Prince Qin’s wise and magical martial arts are only targeted at the bottom of the civilians!
For the powerful and wealthy who are already in the upper class, the new reform policy implemented by Prince Qin in Qin was tantamount to ruining the future and hope of the entire clan!!
Therefore, if Zhao Zheng, who was striving for reform, wanted to succeed in fighting for the throne...
That difficulty is even harder than climbing to the sky!
Moreover, the more successful the Qin reforms were, the more powerful the many aristocratic people became more afraid of the consequences after Prince Qin took office!
Even the Tai Chi Holy Emperor himself is difficult to bear when facing the resistance and resistance of the entire powerful class, let alone the small Prince Qin?
It is no exaggeration to say that if the anti-Qin momentum is too great, even if the Tai Chi Holy Emperor wants to forcibly appoint the Prince of Qin as the crown prince, he has to think carefully!
If it really causes a violent backlash from the entire powerful class, wouldn’t it cause turmoil in the country and even a danger of overturning in an instant?!
Therefore, when he promoted the formal implementation of the reform of Qin, Zhao Zheng knew that he was probably not destined to be with the throne in his life.
But for him, who was already unwilling to fight for the throne, he thought it was a very indifferent thing, so he did not have any psychological obstacles, so he vigorously pushed Qin on the road of reform and strengthening!
Logically speaking, as long as the Tai Chi Holy Emperor who supported Zhao Zheng was in power for one day, he would be able to make trouble in his own territory without restraint!
After all, no one dares to resist or challenge the power and means of the founding emperor.
But what he never expected was that the father, who had been protecting him, suddenly, when he was completely unprepared...
Suddenly critically ill!!
Everything, at the moment when he heard that his father was critically ill!
It seems that all have changed quietly...
...
"A husband is a boat, and a man is a water.
Water can carry a boat, or it can cover it!
The First Emperor lost the power of the powerful and noble family, but won the hearts of all the people in the world!
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!
If you win the hearts of the people, you are like casting a beautiful boat. You can ride the wind and waves without fear of waves and turmoil!”
