Idle courtiers

Chapter 297 One is legal system, the other is power
"What!" This sentence was so shocking that the Li family father and son couldn't help but scream.

At this time, Li Jiading, who was holding a weapon in the yard, rushed in when they heard their shouts.

Li Wei hurriedly shouted: "You all get out, get out of this yard, you are twenty feet away from me, no one is allowed to come near me without my order, or you will be killed directly."

After drinking back his men, he looked back at Zhou Nan.

Zhou Xingren just had time to stretch his legs and peel some pine nuts: "This is the bad news that I want to tell you father and son. Are you surprised or surprised?"

This news was so shocking that Li Wei and Li Gao couldn't digest it for a while.The father and son glanced at each other, then asked in a low voice, "Zhou Nan, did you make it clear?"

Zhou Nan blew the melon seeds in his palm: "I eat too many melon seeds, I'm thirsty, and I don't want to talk." Then she curled her lips at the steaming kettle sitting on the small stove, signaling them to make tea for themselves.

Li Gao was furious: "What a lifeless thing."

After all, Li Wei is older and has more knowledge than his son, so he naturally knows that this matter is of great importance.

Immediately held back his anger, he said: "Master Zhou, I was the one who was being rude, please don't take it to heart."

Zhou Nan: "By the way, I like Longjing. However, it must be Yuqian, and the astringent taste is obtained. Mingqian tea is too weak, which is not very interesting."

"You..." The veins on Li Gao's forehead throbbed suddenly, and he almost ran away.

Li Wei: "Okay, before the rain, no problem."

After getting busy, he handed a cup of hot tea to Zhou Nan.

Both father and son stared at Zhou Nan with piercing eyes.

But our Master Zhou just drank tea leisurely with a relaxed expression on his face.

Finally, Li Gao couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Zhou Nan, what did you mean by that sentence just now?"

Zhou Nan: "Master Li, you and I had many festivals in the past, and everyone was very unhappy. Let me ask you a question. If I didn't talk about King Jing just now, what would you do to me?"

Li Wei: "My father and son admire the moral articles of adults, and naturally treat each other with courtesy."

"Puchi." Zhou Nan: "Is it possible? Today we might as well talk openly and honestly, so don't play tricks. If I guessed correctly, I am coming to your house today, and you have to shed a layer of skin even if you don't die. right?"

Li Gao: "Zhou Nan, you know very well, but why did you deliver the goods to your door?"

Zhou Nan: "Because someone wants me to come to your house to die, as long as I fall in your house, he can make a fuss. At that time, not only your father and son, but also Prince Yu's house will be involved."

Li Gao: "Who is so bold and dares to seek bad luck from our father, son and the prince? If you don't want to die, just rely on King Jing? He is a prince, and he is about to leave the capital soon. Are you afraid that he will pull out tricks?"

Li Wei: "Yes, yes, but you are not afraid of King Jing, what kind of person is he?"

That's right, the position of Crown Prince Yu can be said to have been decided.

Over the years, the emperor's health has deteriorated day by day.It is estimated that he also has a premonition that his time is running out.The emperor made many arrangements in advance, and a large number of outstanding people such as Gao Gong, Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng, etc. were enriched into the palace to give lectures.These people were all from the Hanlin Academy and had a high prestige in the civil service system.

Once the Son of Heaven is in power, they will immediately be able to pull up a complete administrative team.

Gao Gong, the main figure in Prince Yu's mansion, has just been promoted to Minister of Taichang Temple, in charge of offering sacrifices to the Imperial Academy.Li Chunfang even joined the cabinet directly and became a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, ruling the world.

Today, Yu Wang's family has stepped from behind the scenes to the front stage, deeply involved in the court, and has become a huge force.The transition from old to new in the imperial court has begun to take shape.

Compared with the grandeur of Prince Yu's Mansion, King Jing was much more miserable. He was strictly restrained by the officials of the Prince's Mansion on weekdays, and he didn't dare to step out of the mansion easily.When something happened, any official from the Rites, Rites and Cleaning Department would dare to point his nose and reprimand him for a long time.Recently, he has been repeatedly urged by the court officials to leave Beijing for Anlu, and it seems that he will not go if he does not leave.

Such a person is also worthy of coveting the great treasure, and also worthy of competing for the throne with King Yu who has a group of outstanding people like Gao Gong, Li Chunfang, and Zhang Juzheng?

King Jing is an invisible person, and because of this, not many people know his name, so Zhou Nan thought for a long time that King Yu was Jiajing's only son.

Although the Li family father and son are rude and arrogant, they are not stupid. They are more aware of the power structure in the court than ordinary people.

King Jing doesn't have the slightest power at hand. Does he still want to follow the example of Li Erlang's Xuanwu Gate change, and that's not how he seeks death?

Hearing Zhou Nan's words, thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was absurd to say it.

Zhou Nan naturally knew what the father and son were thinking. He gently blew on the foam on the tea, and said calmly, "Li Wei and Li Gao, please be patient and listen to me."

He went on to say: "There are two important factors in succession to the throne, one is the legal system, and the other is power. Let me first analyze with you the legal system required for the succession of King Yu and King Jing."

Zhou Nan: "From ancient times to the present, the succession of a prince to the throne is nothing more than establishing a leader or establishing a virtuous person."

Li Gao couldn't understand Zhou Nan's aggressive attitude, so he snorted: "King Yu is older than King Jing, he is the eldest son of the emperor. Since he was a child, King Yu has been taught by famous Confucian scholars, and his moral writing has been praised by people all over the world. Yes. The prince is modest, isn’t he virtuous? Whether he is a leader or a virtuous person, he is the best choice. Do you think my father and son are fools, don’t bully others.”

Zhou Nan: "However, Your Majesty has not established a crown prince yet!"

Li Gao: "That's because the two dragons don't meet each other, and the emperor is afraid that the establishment of a prince will hinder the holy car."

Zhou Nan nodded: "The emperor is the real dragon, and the crown prince is the future real dragon. It is indeed inconvenient for the two dragons to meet each other. But King Jing has never been the heir to the throne. Why does His Majesty refuse to meet him? Could it be that the emperor will also be the real dragon of King Jing?" As the future prince? Things will not end, everything will change."

In ancient times, the handover of the throne and the selection of heirs have always been a major event related to the stability of the country and the lives of hundreds of millions of people, so it must be treated with caution.There is a saying in later generations that is right: don't put all your eggs in one basket.

It is true that King Yu was trained by Jiajing as the crown prince, but the emperor did not leave behind.

In front of imperial power, there has never been any talk of father-son relationship.

It is true that Jiajing is vigorously cultivating Yuwang's team, but he may not have no intention of restricting it.If Yu Wang's tail is too big to lose, or even out of his control, maybe he will become the overlord like Li Yuan, and this has to be guarded against.

King Jing is the backup.

It is true that Li Wei and Li Gao's father and son came from low-level backgrounds, but since Concubine Li became a princess, they have been exposed to superstructures, and they still have basic political literacy and insight.

Hearing what Zhou Nan said, he suddenly felt that it was reasonable, and at the same time his face changed.

Zhou Nan: "Whether it's Lichang or Lixian, it's just a saying. It's justified, and it's justified. It can be used in any way. On the day when the crown prince is not really established, any legal system is useless. Alright, I Moving on to the second point, strength, this is the key of the key."
