Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 452 Milan breaks the defense!

There is never a sure-fire business in the world.

But getting along with Zhao Si for a long time made Wang Jian willing to believe in Zhao Si's character and ability.

Zhao Si has a sensitive temperament, is smart and wise, and is tolerant and benevolent, but he is not a person with little wisdom and indecisiveness.

He could succeed in his career without being cold-blooded, and his naive grandson happened to be one of the few close friends of Zhao Si, the closeness and explicit instructions of the First Emperor, the Zhao land managed by Zhang Cang and others, and... standing beside him Li Si reached the peak of his power as a minister.

Li Si, who had a serious conflict with the eldest son, the right minister of the Qin Dynasty, could be so optimistic in the face of the ministers' endless talk about establishing the crown prince. I am afraid that the choice had been made long ago.

So why not yourself?

The first generation of the Wang family is a perfect servant, the second generation only needs to stick to themselves, and the third generation will have a new spirit of prosperity...

As for three generations later, it is too far away, and Wang Jian can't control that much.

Wang Jian wrote a reply. As a Taiwei, he used his military power to issue instructions to his own son Wang Ben, the general of Da Qin.

This was the last important decision he could make for the Wang family in the little time he had left.

……

In the next few days, the First Emperor punished an unknown official who petitioned to appoint Zhao Si as his heir apparent.

Fortunately, Da Qin could pay for his crime with a title, and the First Emperor didn't seem that angry.

Therefore, the actual punishment in the end was to have his title reduced by three levels to offset the crime of false opinions, and he was demoted and fined, leaving it to see the consequences.

The ministers felt a little at ease, at least judging from the approval from the First Emperor, for now, the Emperor of Qin had not given up on the idea of ​​the eldest son playing on his own.

At the very least, the First Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty knew the order in his heart.

However, Feng Quji and others can still get a glimpse of the First Emperor's closeness and love for Zhao Si.

Take a look at this reply.

My grandson's virtue is indeed good, but what you said is too exaggerated. I will give you a small punishment so that you will not have any evil thoughts in the future.

Still not famous?

What do you mean?

The answer is already there...

This was the first positive response of the First Emperor to the matter of establishing a crown prince, so it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves. Countless people speculated on the First Emperor's thoughts, and all ministers were excited.

Naturally, heated discussions arose about this extraordinary memorial and the First Emperor's reply.

Such noisy discussions reached the ears of Fusu's nominal wife Mi Lan.

The reason why it is nominal is because the First Emperor never established a queen in his life, so his descendants are not divided into direct eldest children.

And Fusu, as the legitimate eldest son of the First Emperor and the highly anticipated crown prince, actually had no so-called official wife.

Of course, in terms of birth, Mi Lan is undoubtedly the most noble one. She is Chang Wenjun's niece, and Chang Wenjun is a direct bloodline of the Chu Kingdom.

After the First Emperor unified the world, he almost wiped out the descendants of the royal families of the six kings. Those who were left to worship in the ancestral temple were all from unknown places.

Therefore, Mi Lan, as one of the few direct bloodlines, is naturally noble enough.

Moreover, when they married Fusu, Changping Jun and Changwen Jun had not lost power, so at that time Mi Lan was considered to have brought money into the group, and the status between husband and wife was almost the same. Therefore, although there was no official wife, Mi Lan had always been regarded as the official wife. Self-proclaimed.

Later, Fusu accepted the woman again and did not dare to ignore Milan's opinions because of Milan's methods.

And Fusu did receive a lot of help from Milan's natal family. Fusu himself had even been a disciple of Lord Chang Wen, so he respected Milan's wife very much.

Of course, the prosperity of her natal family cannot change the fact that Mi Lan is delicate and short-sighted. Ever since she gave birth to Fusu's eldest son, Mi Lan has always regarded herself as a legitimate wife.

But now, Mi Lan couldn't sit still at all.

Mi Lan was of course concerned about Fusu's appointment as heir apparent. After all, for Mi Lan, after Fusu inherited the throne, she would be the legitimate queen, and her son would of course be the legitimate prince.

It is precisely because he cares about establishing a reserve.

Therefore, even though Fusu had not informed Milan about Zhao Si's life experience before returning home.

But within two days, Mi Lan learned about Zhao Si's life experience.

Regarding the fact that her husband has a wild child... Mi Lan was indeed a little angry at first.

However, Mi Lan was not a pure fool. The First Emperor expressed his love for Zhao Si many times. Therefore, even if Zhao Si was not Mi Lan's daughter, Mi Lan also knew that Zhao Si's appearance might be a great help to Fusu and Li Chu. Therefore, Mi Lan did not make a fuss, and even thought of finding a way to get close to Zhao Si so as not to cause trouble to Fusu.

It would also be a good thing if this inexplicable extra wild child could make the First Emperor decide to establish the crown prince and implement Fusu's crown prince position.

But what Mi Lan didn't expect was that Zhao Si, who was living in the palace, didn't take the initiative to visit his wife?

He has never expressed respect and closeness to himself, and he has not even taken the initiative to visit his father?

A wild child is a wild child after all, it’s very rude.

However, Mi Lan pinched her nose and endured it. After all, the matter of establishing a prince was right in front of her.

Later, when Zhao Si was crowned king, Mi Lan was really close to breaking through.

My grown-up son hasn't been crowned king yet, so why should he crown this wild boy?

Yet she held back.

Because after Zhao Si became the king, the ministers discussed the establishment of a heir even more loudly, including Bai Ying, the palace chief who he specifically asked for advice, who also told him that this was a great good thing for the eldest son.

After all, father and son are one entity. If Zhao Si is crowned king, it is the eldest son who is crowning king. When Zhao Si controls the Kingdom of Zhao, it is Fusu who controls the Kingdom of Zhao. It seems that Zhao Si is crowning the king, but in fact, it is the eldest son who has established the throne.

So Mi Lan held back again.

Later, as Bai Yingruo said, the discussion about establishing a crown prince became even louder, and the officials were full of outpourings of emotion in both the government and the public.

As a result, it was not established, and Fusu's position as crown prince was not determined.

Later, I don’t know what happened, but the style of painting suddenly changed, and I started to build momentum for Zhao Si and Fusu at the same time.

Mi Lan couldn't figure out the key with her brain circuit, so she asked Bai Ying again, but Bai Ying fooled Mi Lan by saying it was related to Li Chu.

After all, Mi Lan came from a wealthy family. Although she was delicate and short-sighted, she had also received an orthodox education. Therefore, although she was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Si for gaining such a great reputation, and she didn't really like Zhao Si, a wild child, she still pinched her nose and accepted it.

But today!

Mi Lan broke her defense!

"I want an explanation!" Mi Lan angrily found Bai Ying who was working in the palace.

"What's that?" Bai Ying was confused after hearing Mi Lan's voice and bowing.

"Sir, did you tell me that father and son are one body?"

Bai Ying nodded when he heard the sound: "I did say that."

"Then why did the government and the public talk about establishing that wild product as a reserve?" Mi Lan frowned and looked at Bai Ying.

When Bai Ying heard this, he knew who Mi Lan was talking about. This is just one of the hotly debated events in the court recently.

A prominent person wrote a letter to directly appoint Zhao Si as the crown prince, and the First Emperor gave his approval.

Bai Ying glanced at the aggressive Mi Lantu and felt that he had a headache.

This temptation was not done by Bai Ying. If nothing else, it should have been done by Feng Quji.

After all, Bai Ying is still young, he can still wait.

The imperial censors and even the opposition kings and prime ministers are already in their twilight years and may not be able to wait much longer.

Therefore, such an extreme temptation does not surprise Bai Ying.

Although they are all supporters of the eldest son establishing the crown prince, they are not the same breed. They only maintain a high degree of unity in supporting the eldest son as the crown prince. In fact, their political views and conduct in life conflict with each other.

Everyone has his or her own hills...

However, Feng Quji's excessive testing was not without results.

At least now smart people can get a glimpse of the will of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor announced the answer directly. He only needed to give the answer that the First Emperor wanted. The appointment of the eldest son as the heir apparent could be said to be a certainty.

But now... the bad things Feng Quji did caused Bai Ying a headache.

"I have been taking care of things in the house recently and have never gone out, so I don't know very well. Where did you know about such a thing?" Bai Ying thought for a while and took it out first.

When Mi Lan heard the sound, she looked at Bai Ying suspiciously. She saw that Bai Ying's expression didn't seem to be fake for a long time, and it seemed that he really didn't know anything about it, so his attitude softened a little.

"You don't know about this? Some ministers have written to advise Your Majesty to directly appoint Zhao Si as the crown prince. The ministers are already talking about it," Mi Lan said.

Bai Ying frowned when he heard this and said, "There are still people who dare to do such a heinous and unethical thing? Maybe it's because of His Majesty's closeness to the young master that they want to take advantage of this. Do you know how His Majesty approved it?"

Mi Lan heard the sound and gave Bai Ying the reply given by the First Emperor.

Bai Ying groaned at first when he heard the sound, and then suddenly walked back and forth, clapped his hands, and his face showed joy.

"How can you laugh when something like this happened?" Mi Lan frowned.

"This is a good thing, why are you not happy?" Bai Ying clapped his hands.

"To be able to submit such a letter in order to cling to Zhao Si shows that some people have ignored the prestige of the husband. What kind of thing is such a good thing? The ministers are talking a lot, and the sycophants are just cheering for Zhao Si. Now Zhao Si's reputation is filled with people in the customs and spread all over the country. In the world, sir, are you not afraid that your majesty will be moved by the ministers?" Mi Lan asked.

"Do you think His Majesty's will can be shaken?" Bai Ying looked at Mi Lan in surprise.

When Mi Lan heard the sound, she seemed to think of some bad experiences, so she shook her head.

He really did not think that an arbitrary person like the First Emperor could be influenced by the opinions of his ministers.

After all, the death of Lord Changwen and Lord Changping was vivid in his mind, and they were all relatives of Mi Lan, and Mi Lan was one of the witnesses of that turmoil.

"Isn't that right? His Majesty's will cannot be coerced by the ministers. Therefore, when something like this happened, it doesn't matter what the ministers said. What matters is what kind of reply His Majesty gave. Just now According to what you said, I presume to guess what Your Majesty means. Since Your Majesty has punished you and said that there will be no such thing, you must know that Your Majesty has already decided on the position of the eldest son and the crown prince. He will only call the ministers to discuss it in the future, and the eldest son can be crowned. How can this not be a happy event for the prince?" Bai Ying asked.

"But His Majesty indulged Zhao Si too much!" Mi Lan frowned.

"But judging from His Majesty's reply, His Majesty still believes that the person who is truly suitable for the position of Crown Prince is the eldest son, otherwise he would not have given such an approval.

You don’t have to worry. In the past, His Majesty also doted on his youngest son Hu Hai. At that time, the eldest son had just left Xianyang and was demoted to Longxi by His Majesty. The ministers were also guessing whether Your Majesty didn’t like the eldest son and wanted to establish the eighteenth son as his heir, so people’s hearts were turbulent. , the government and the public are uneasy, but in fact, your Majesty will not act emotionally. Your Majesty's love for Zhao Si is nothing more than personal feelings, and your Majesty acts impartially.

Moreover, Zhao Si is still the son of the eldest son, and his majesty's grandson, which does not fit in the order of succession. Even if your majesty really makes such a decision, the princes of the government and the public will not agree with it. "Bai Ying opened his mouth and said in relief.

Mi Lan thought about it and felt that what Bai Ying said made sense.

Compared with when Hu Hai was favored, the current discussion is really nothing.

You must know that Hu Hai is of the same generation as Fusu.

Not to mention that Fusu had just offended the First Emperor at that time, and was directly demoted from Xianyang by the First Emperor. It was considered the darkest moment, and Mi Lan was so frightened that she did not even dare to lose her temper.

With Bai Ying's explanation and the approval from the First Emperor confirming the matter, Mi Lan finally felt at peace.

"I see, women are short-sighted and make you laugh."

"It concerns oneself, so it is inevitable that it is difficult to control oneself. This is human nature." Bai Ying smiled.

Mi Lan felt a little more at ease and was about to leave, but seeing Bai Ying's relieved expression, she asked again by mistake: "Sir, do you really not know about this?"

"I have been in the palace recently, you can see me." Bai Ying's expression remained unchanged.

Mi Lan nodded, and the doubts in her heart gradually disappeared.

Besides, Bai Yingxing stood upright, and it was not him who did this, but Feng Quji.

Moreover, Feng Quji's personality would never be too conspicuous to attract attention. With Mi Lan's eyesight, even if she knew who was submitting the memorial, she wouldn't be able to tell anything.

"As the eldest son, my husband has suffered a lot. He has been demoted out of Xianyang by His Majesty for many years. Your Majesty has never been close to my husband. As a wife, I can't help but feel distressed. Please don't blame me for my gaffe." Mi Lan sighed, His expression was a little sad.

"I saw it in my eyes, how could I not know?" Bai Ying said.

"Sir, what do you think of Chang Yi's virtue? How does it compare with that of her husband?" Mi Lan suddenly asked for no reason.

Chang Yi was, of course, the eldest son Mi Lan gave birth to for Fu Su and Fu Su's legitimate eldest son.

Of course, this was Mi Lan's own eldest son.

"The young master is sensitive and diligent. His virtues are not violated, he is rich but not arrogant, he is noble but not comfortable, and he does not lose the reputation of the eldest son." Bai Ying answered.

"You're going too far. How can he deserve such praise from you, sir? He will still need your guidance in the future." Mi Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, seemingly quite satisfied with Bai Ying's evaluation.

Bai Ying agreed and Mi Lan left with satisfaction.

Bai Ying finally let out a long breath...

Fortunately, I managed to get through it.

Hmm... not considered fooling around.

At least he didn't lie to Mi Lan.

The matter of establishing the eldest son as a heir can probably be settled.
