191 191 So straightforward
◎Willful! I have the final say over my kingdom.◎
Does this mean that there will be no more crown princes in the future, which means that we will have to "secretly appoint a crown prince"?
No, are you really going to do such a big thing?
There is not even a transition period, is this really okay?
When Master Kang said this, everyone present was shocked.
My goodness, Master Kang has almost gone to 20 years later.
He quickly crossed the tangled period of "two abolitions and two appointments", and directly let all the digital legions fall into an era of chaos in order to compete for the final "secret appointment of a crown prince" qualification.
The main feature is a one-step, quick resolution of the battle.
Although it is indeed very straightforward, it is really hard for everyone to accept.
After all, many of them had heard Mo Yu's previous voice - it was obvious that the crown prince had to be "deposed and established twice", and then there would be no crown prince and a secret succession.
This is an "oracle", can the emperor just ignore the oracle sent down by God?
Even if your majesty is "divinely granted", no matter what, God is the greatest. In
short, your majesty, don't be impulsive, you must think twice before you act...
Yes, yes! Your Majesty, you must think twice...
The princes and the ministers who were watching expressed their opinions one after another. Although there were many different opinions, it felt a bit like a vegetable market, but in the end, their opinions were very unified.
The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, nor can it be without a crown prince for a day.
How can you just say you don't want to establish him? If
you are not satisfied with this, you can look at the next Ah Huang Ama\Long Live the Lord...
After a brief moment of confusion, everyone expressed their opinions on this major event very actively. The scene can be said to be very heated, but Master Kang didn't care about these at all.
I don't know where he got the epiphany from. In short, it seems that he has become a completely different person since the beginning.
Others are still secretly wondering if Master Kang has been stimulated by something, his brain is filled with water or he is crazy, and he made this decision so suddenly.
But Mo Yu reacted quickly. If it was Master Kang, it would not be surprising for him to suddenly do this.
In fact, Master Kang is doing this now, which is considered slow to react.
After all, Master Kang himself is the only master of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the crown prince is above everyone else, he is still below one person.
And Master Kang is the only "one person".
So of course he has the right to decide who will be the crown prince, and of course he can also decide whether to establish the position of crown prince.
As for waiting until the end of his life to decide who will succeed him, this is exactly the same as the real situation in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
According to historical records, Master Kang appointed Yinreng as the crown prince twice, and then deposed him twice. From then on, until his death, for a period of ten years, he never appointed a crown prince again.
No matter how the cabinet scholars or the ministers such as Zuo Du Yu Shi petitioned for the establishment of a crown prince, Master Kang remained unmoved.
He advocated "I am the master of my kingdom", and as long as I don't want to establish a crown prince, none of you can force me.
So, from this point of view, Master Kang was the first emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty to implement the secret system of establishing a crown prince.
Although he had experienced the trouble of establishing and deposing crown princes twice before, considering the vacuum period in the last ten years, and the fact that the person who finally ascended the throne was not the crown prince Yinreng who was established at the beginning, but the four great masters who were finally determined by Master Kang, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling this whole process of succession "secret establishment of a crown prince".
The key point is that at this time, this method of establishing a crown prince is still original. Prior to this, unless there was a sudden illness or an accident that was too late, the emperors of all dynasties had adopted the method of publicly appointing a crown prince to determine the candidate for the successor to the throne. After
Master Kang did this, this "secret succession" system was officially established.
As the successor of Master Kang, the Four Great Masters just followed suit and copied the system of succession directly. Strictly speaking, it was not original at all.
Of course, to say that it was completely copied is also biased. I think the Four Great Masters also saw the way from the stable time of Master Kang's last ten years as emperor - carrots must be hung to be useful, and it would be bad to reveal the mystery too early.
Because no matter who becomes the crown prince, he will become a sitting duck and will inevitably be attacked by all the princes who want to take the throne.
In this way, not appointing a crown prince is actually a kind of protection for the real heir to the throne.
After all, in the case of appointing a crown prince, no matter who takes the throne, he must go through layers of tests. Not only must he be excellent, but he
must also guard against being framed by others. If it is not clear who the crown prince is, and it is only said that "the capable one will take the throne", then everyone will more or less be concerned about the overall situation and not go too far.
Although it may also cause more internal friction and factionalism, if there are enough princes participating in the competition, a relationship of checks and balances can be formed, allowing everyone to supervise each other, and it will not cause too many casualties.
If there is such a fool who wants to kill others and be the first to do so, there is nothing that can be done. However, if there is such a person, the result will be the same even if the crown prince is appointed.
It is even possible that because the goal of the crown prince is too obvious, other princes who originally wanted to take a gentle approach to participate in the competition will also be forced to use ruthless tactics - the previous "Nine Princes Fighting for the Crown Prince" is like this.
And such things have happened in the previous dynasty - for example, the famous "Xuanwu Gate Incident", that was the battle between the King of Qin and the crown prince, and finally won successfully.
So, the matter of choosing a successor, once it involves the succession of the throne, it will definitely be very bloody.
It is better to secretly appoint the crown prince, and the mystery will keep everyone on the surface peaceful.
Speaking of this matter, it is the same as the establishment of a will.
Before knowing the answer, everyone thinks that they have a share, so the person who makes the will can grasp the greatest benefits and spend his old age in peace.
When it comes to the matter of succession to the throne, it is of course the same.
Master Kang called everyone to his bedside and made the final decision only before he died, and this was extremely successful.
No wonder the fourth master wanted to learn from him.
He also used this method to pass the throne to Qian Xiaosi.
However, he did not call everyone to his bedside, but used a will.
This edict of succession was placed behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque, and no one could see it. After all, there were patrolmen everywhere, and it was really not easy to check the edict under the eyes of so many people.
And what can you do after you see it?
What is yours will not run away, and what is not yours cannot be forced.
Of course, if you were a big shot like Li Erfeng, it wouldn't have much of an impact. If you felt something was wrong, you could just kill the other brothers and be done with it. At the Xuanwu Gate, he wasn't just targeting his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, he also took care of his fourth brother Li Yuanji...
Father, don't you think three sons are a bit too many?
It doesn't matter, Erfeng, I will definitely help you solve this problem. As long as I get rid of the extra two, you won't have to worry about who to pass the throne to, because there's no one else to choose from, only Erfeng...
It's all tears when I talk about it.
When you meet a big shot of this level, it doesn't matter whether you establish him openly or secretly.
Even if he ascended the throne, it would be useless. If he was unhappy, he could still raise an army to take the throne back. Zhu Di said that he was very experienced. What did Yunwen know? It would be better for the fourth uncle to sit on the throne.
Children should be innocent and just walk around and have fun.
The throne should be handed over to boring adults like the fourth uncle.
...
In short, it seems that whether it is established openly or secretly, it is not a simple matter when it comes to the crown prince.
But Mo Yu had to agree that for the entire Qing Dynasty at that time, the advantages of secretly establishing the crown prince were obviously greater than the disadvantages.
Master Kang has made such a decision in advance, which can be regarded as following the trend of history.
Mo Yu didn't feel anything about it, but the Digital Legion had mixed feelings.
They were shocked by Master Kang's swift and powerful actions, and were also worried about the succession to the throne. Some of them were even thinking about how they could perform well so that the Emperor would remember their kindness at the last moment. If they could become the next Emperor, that would be a great success.
However, the more nervous and anxious they were, the more their minds went blank.
They had no idea what to do next.
But even Mo Yu was too lazy to think about this in his heart. Everyone held their breath and listened attentively for a moment. After not hearing what they wanted to hear, they all became disappointed.
It seems that this system of secret succession is already set in stone.
So why not think about how to use the next time to make their emperor change his mind and choose them as the heir to the throne.
After all, their emperor now looks at them with unfriendly eyes, as if "everyone here is a loser."
Well, it's quite hurtful.
However, the descendants of the Aisin Gioro family will not admit defeat. This is just a small matter and can be overcome a little bit.
From that day on, Mo Yu saw that all the princes, including the eldest prince who had already been eliminated by default and the second prince who had just been deposed, were full of energy, like peacocks spreading their tails, trying their best to please Master Kang.
In fact, if this situation continued, it would have no impact on Mo Yu.
But what he didn't expect was that this exhibition match involved a wide range of people, not to mention the four major families of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue, as well as the four princes of the east, south, west, and north. Even their Lin family was dragged into it, which was very outrageous.
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment when he received the message from Lin Ruhai asking him to go home. After all, since he came to the palace to work, his family would never send him a message unless it was necessary.
Not to mention the message asking him to go home, it would make people wonder what happened.
Could it be that the broken stone poked Lu Zi again?
