Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 368 Borrowing
Ang Lee originally thought that this scene would never happen again because of his presence.

After all, there are quite a lot of books in the Four Books and Five Classics, Classics and History. If you flip through it casually, how could it be so coincidental that you can reach this paragraph just like in the original drama?

But it happened to be such a coincidence.

Li An looked at the smiling Zhuang Xueguo and felt a little suspicious. Could Zhuang Xueguo do this on purpose?

The reason why I have this idea is because it is such a coincidence.

Moreover, many people are now speculating about the topics of this year's general examination, and many people say that it may be related to the establishment of a reserve.

The reason for this is that the officials said that they would decide on the candidate for the crown prince after the general examination.

Many people felt that the officials were still hesitant and wanted to use this imperial examination to make a decision.

If Zhuang Xuexue also felt that this was possible and deliberately asked such a question, it would make sense.

"pedant."

When Sheng Changbai expressed his opinions to each other, he was cautious by nature and did not say anything to King Yan Yong.

Qi Heng stood up and saluted: "Students, in the eyes of students, the inheritance system of the eldest son has existed for many years, so there is a reason for its existence. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution and dominated the world. As soon as he ascended the throne, he established the eldest son as the successor. Prince. Later, when the throne was passed to Mr. Gao, the original prince was deposed and Li Tai was demoted, and Gaozong was appointed as the prince. "

Sheng Changbai proposed that the eldest son inheritance system has been around for a long time, and even implicitly cited the death of Qin II as an example.

In Ang Lee's view, these arguments are actually meaningless.

Sheng Changbai stood up and said, "This issue is very sensitive. If we discuss it carelessly, we may cause trouble."

Although there is a lot of discussion about this topic outside now, Sheng Hong has always told them not to talk about related topics. Moreover, Sheng Changbai has a mature temperament and feels that it is inappropriate to discuss such topics.

Zhuang Xuexue waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Nowadays, even a teahouse in Bianjing City often discusses this, let alone those princes, princes, uncles and high-ranking officials. It doesn't matter if we talk about it secretly behind closed doors. It’s okay, besides, what we’re discussing today is about establishing heirs and establishing virtuous people, and it has nothing to do with government affairs. Let’s discuss it first!”

Everything is actually based on self-interest.

Sheng Changfeng didn't have so many worries. He praised King Yan and said that King Yan should inherit the throne.

Li An secretly laughed. Everyone's opinions are actually based on themselves.
Those who are born as eldest sons naturally support the eldest son succession system and safeguard the interests of their eldest sons.

Xuexue Zhuang pressed his hands, looked at Qi Heng and Li An and said, "Why don't Zi Qian and Yuan Ruo say a word?"

Sheng Changfeng continued to use the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to refute. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ranked among the ten sons of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the legitimate son is not necessarily excellent, and the bastard son is not necessarily inferior to the legitimate son.

When Sheng Changbai saw what Zhuang Xuexue said, he couldn't refuse. After pondering for a while, he began to express his views.

The common people naturally feel that they should establish virtuous people and maintain their own interests.

Those who supported King Yong outside said that King Yong was older, while those who supported King Yan said that King Yan Qianggan was the reason.

For a while, the school was noisy.

"Yes."

Gu Tingye stood up and refuted, saying that when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty his crown prince, he first supported his mother as his queen and followed all the etiquette. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was his legitimate son.

Mo Lan countered by saying that the stupid emperor of the Jin Dynasty should be promoted to a wise man. Ru Lan retorted that there were only a few fools like Emperor Hui of Jin since ancient times.

If their identities were exchanged, they would naturally have opposite views.

However, the two of them are not the sons of officials, but nephews, no matter how long they are.

Li An nodded. Although the eldest son inheritance system was flawed, it was actually quite reasonable in a feudal society like this in ancient times.

Some people say that the Qing Dynasty's secret edict and succession system was more reasonable.

But in fact, all the dramas about the Qing dynasty’s succession in later generations were so bad. And in fact, most of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were still the eldest son, not the eldest son, which is somewhat similar to Li Zhi.

Take Yongzheng as an example. He was the fourth son of the emperor, but of his three older brothers, one died in infancy and two were deposed. By that time, he was already older.

Qianlong was also the fourth eldest, but his three older brothers were all dead.

As long as the eldest son is not a fool, has an advantage in age, can get more time to cultivate, and has the support of his mother's family, the change of throne will not be prone to turmoil.

These are factors that the emperor needs to consider.

After Qi Heng finished speaking, Li An stood up, bowed first, and said, "Pedant, before students answer the questions, they need to ask someone to cooperate."

"Oh?" Zhuang Xuexue smiled slightly and said, "I wonder who you want to cooperate with you?"

"The student needs the help of three girls' maids and asks them a few questions." Li An said.

What he wanted to answer was what Ming Lan said in the original play.

Although it was a bit of a show-stealer, Li An had just observed that Zhuang Xuexue had no intention of letting San Lan get up to answer.

Before, Ru Lan and Mo Lan spontaneously helped their brothers for their own benefit.

In the original play, it was under Gu Tingye's pressure that Zhuang Xuexuu asked Minglan to speak.

Nowadays, no one is trying to push him, and he is unlikely to let Minglan talk about this.

The reason why Ang Lee borrowed it was because he most agreed with Minglan's rhetoric.

Xuexue Zhuang nodded and agreed.

Sanlan's maid stayed at the back, and Li An called the three of them up.

"Who do you think is the smartest and virtuous among the three girls?" Li An asked.

The three maids looked at each other and then looked at their girl.

Minglan smiled slightly, as if she understood what Li An was going to do, and asked Xiao Tao to do as Li An asked.

Ru Lan and Mo Lan still didn't know what Li An wanted to do, but when Ming Lan said so, Zhuang Xuexue had no intention of stopping it and ordered the maid to do as Li An said.

After receiving the order, the three maids naturally praised their girl.

Whether it was true or false, how dare they not boast in front of their master?
At first, Mo Lan and Ru Lan's maids were more reserved, but Xiao Tao didn't think too much. In her opinion, the girl from home was the best, and it was not in vain that she waited in the school every day and learned some idioms.

There were a lot of idioms about Lan's good-natured nature, Bingxue's cleverness, and ingenuity, which made Minglan cover her face and feel embarrassed.

When Mo Lan and Ru Lan saw that their maid was so incompetent, they glared at them fiercely.

When the two maids saw this, they praised even harder.

After a while, the three of them were arguing with each other and almost got into a fight.

Upon seeing this, Li An quickly stopped the three of them and said, "Who is the eldest among the three girls?"

Now the three of them stopped arguing. Mo Lan's maid proudly said that she was the fourth girl.

Li An asked again who was the legitimate daughter, and Ru Lan's maid answered that it was Ru Lan.

Xuexue Zhuang knew what Li An was going to do when he first asked the maid, and he always had a smile of approval on his face.

Li An cupped his hands and said: "I believe that scholars and everyone have seen that there is still debate about who is virtuous and who is not, but it is clear who is the legitimate eldest son. A true man should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Instead of engaging in these meaningless disputes, it is better to be a pure minister. "
