    Originally, according to the normal procedure, officials and noble officials had to cry for three days in a row, and then go home to pay homage for seven days to officially end the national mourning ceremony.

    "But isn't it true that there is no leader in the court now, and the candidate for the new emperor has not yet been determined?

    Therefore, Zong Zheng and the others could only find a trick in the end, allowing some officials with low official positions to cry in the mourning hall, while the remaining real core officials in the court, as well as the top nobles in the capital, and the royal family, were in mourning.  They gathered at the government hall early the next morning.

    Formally discuss the candidate for the new emperor.

    This time Qiao Mu is also here. After all, Qiao Mu is the Empress Dowager no matter what. This cannot be changed. The new emperor will have to recognize him even if he succeeds to the throne. Moreover, the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager has the decision to choose the new emperor.  Although this right is not so big that it has the final say, it definitely occupies a large share.

    This is a fact that no one can ignore.

    ¡°You are all the emperor¡¯s humerus.

    I won¡¯t say anything high-sounding.

    Although it has been a common practice for thousands of years for the father to die and his son to succeed, the only heir left by His Majesty has just turned one year old and is too young.

    According to the instructions of Emperor Taizu.

    Anyone under the age of fourteen is not qualified to be an emperor.

    Therefore, it is best for us to choose the new emperor this time from among the descendants of the previous emperor. Only our direct bloodline can know the legacy of Emperor Taizu. Therefore, you may still be a little confused, and you may even think that I am lying. In order to prevent rumors from spreading.  , after deliberation last night, we decided to make Taizu¡¯s legacy known to the public.

    Anyone who has any doubts can come forward and take a look.

    Prince Ling, please give me the instructions given by Taizu.  "

    Zong Zhengwei Chunhan raised the core issues that needed to be discussed at the beginning. At the same time, he signaled Prince Ling to take out the Taizu's legacy that had been stored in the ancestral temple and read it aloud in front of hundreds of officials and many distinguished royal family.

    Prince Ling also quickly cooperated and stood at the front, taking out a light golden cloth from an old-looking wooden box.

    ??Opened in front of everyone.

    And read it aloud.

    " Some of the officials and nobles below were listening carefully, while others were carefully looking at the wooden box and the light golden cloth. At the same time, they were thinking about the possibility that this thing was real.

    "You can't blame them for being suspicious. In fact, no one has seen this thing, and no one knows whether it is true or not. Who knows if the direct royal family has united to determine the candidate for the next emperor, and they just found an excuse to announce it.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Because the above are reading the nominal Taizu¡¯s legacy, so the officials below did not dare to discuss and talk to each other. They could only look at it secretly and keep their mouths shut, waiting for the above to finish reading.

    There are only three points in the entire legacy.

    The content is not long.

    Finished reading in two minutes.

    After reading it, the nobles below discussed with each other whether the thing was true or false without anyone having to say anything.

    And whether to follow it or not.

    "The civil servants were relatively silent, just waiting quietly for the next step of the clan.

    We will decide on the specific attitude at that time.

    ¡°I think the wooden box should be old enough. I¡¯m not sure about the gold silk fabric, but it looks old enough. I can¡¯t tell whether it¡¯s fake or not without getting my hands on it. How about we go take a look.¡±

    "I think that we should give up.

    It has nothing to do with us anyway.

    Let them go.

    Who is the emperor and what does it have to do with us?

    ¡°Besides, the position of the Duke of my family is stable. As long as I don¡¯t commit any crime, no one can do anything to me.  "

    ¡°I think the main point of conflict may still be between the civil servants and the royal family members.

    It has nothing to do with us.

    Let¡¯s not talk.

    It¡¯s enough to pretend to be deaf and dumb.  "

    ¡°I would say yes, this happened so suddenly, it¡¯s hard for us to find a prince to support us.

    Let them go.

    "Anyway, I don't intend to intervene"

    After repeated discussions, most of the nobles below have finally decided not to participate in this matter. Only a few are very curious and have high enough status to go up and check the authenticity of the things.  .

    After checking it, they all nodded in public, saying that there was no problem with the date of the east and west, and the handwriting could match the one given by Taizu.The handwriting on some things in our house match, and the seal craftsmanship and the like are all clearly matched.

    With their confirmation, and the eunuchs who were responsible for writing records of the emperor's daily life, and the specific records of Emperor Taizu's legacy written down by Emperor Taizu as supporting evidence, the matter of Emperor Taizu's legacy can be regarded as completely certain.  .

    After confirming this, Zongzheng Wei Chunhan continued to speak in public: "Everyone, please be quiet.

    Since Taizu's legacy is correct, let's talk about the selection of the new emperor. Before the father dies and the son succeeds, there is also the saying that the brother dies and the brother succeeds. Although your majesty is the eldest son, there are five bastard princes before your majesty.  , there are also three people behind.

    Among the eight princes, the eldest prince has died of illness, the second prince is disabled, the fourth prince has severe obesity and asthma and is bedridden all the time, and the eighth prince and the ninth prince are all under the age of fourteen.

    Therefore, currently, only the third prince is eligible to inherit the throne according to the principle of succession between brothers and sisters.

    The fifth prince and the seventh prince.

    That is to say, the current Prince Ling, Prince Hui and Prince Wen are all here. If you ministers don¡¯t choose the new emperor from these three.  "

    As Zong Zheng finished speaking, the eyes of the officials and other members of the royal family immediately turned to the three people whose names had just been called.

    Immediately, there was a lot of discussion.

    ????????????? Unlike the nobles and nobles who were all discussing, no one spoke, and unlike the royal family who only dared to whisper in private, the Minister of Rites among the civil servants immediately stood up, and after saluting, he said loudly:

    ¡°I don¡¯t agree with Zong Zheng¡¯s theory.

    The succession between brother and brother has been over for thousands of years, and the succession between father and son has been passed down for countless generations.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    If you are really worried about the legacy of your ancestors, you can first make the prince the prince, and then the prince will come to the court, and the empress dowager will listen to the affairs behind the curtain. After the prince reaches the age of fourteen, he can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?  "

    It can be said that all civil and military officials in the court are all children of Confucianism. Rules such as kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and succession after the death of the father are one of the foundations of their Confucianism. Now that the royal family wants to change the rules, they naturally  is unwilling.

    Moreover, a young emperor is more suitable for their demands and more suitable for them to implement their own ideas. As for the empress dowager who listens to politics from behind the curtain, they really don't pay attention to the empress dowager who is not related by blood in his teenage years.  inside.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
