King of Song

Chapter 664
Gao Taotao turned away from the screen, and when Han Qi said the word "Li Chu", he fell into silence.

The emperor was seriously ill and comatose. To be on the safe side, he should establish a prince as soon as possible, otherwise the country will be easily shaken.

Especially in the current situation, Zhao Xu has not established a crown prince, if he dies, who will sit on the throne?She, the empress dowager, has the right to speak, the empress dowager also has the right to speak, and the clan and ministers also have the right to participate.

The worst situation is that there is a public election. As the son of Emperor Renzong, Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, is young and promising, with high prestige, and is fully qualified to aspire to the throne.

In this way, he has the reason and opportunity to directly and publicly rob the throne.

This is a situation that Gao Taotao is unwilling and will not allow.

Therefore, Han Qi's suggestion is very pertinent, and the reserve must be established as soon as possible.Once the crown prince is established, King Qin's seizure of power will be illegal and will not be recognized by the government and the public, and will not be supported by the people.

But who should the crown prince be?

Zhao Xu has four sons, but they are all young, and the oldest is only over two years old.Leaving aside Zhu Shaoguo's doubts, in this day and age, the death rate of two-year-old children is very high.The country has no ruler, the world is uneasy, and it is difficult to stabilize the situation. I am afraid that even the subjects of the Song Dynasty will find it difficult to accept it.

Then, in addition to the death of the father and the succession of the son, there is also the death of the brother and the younger brother, just like the succession of the Taizu to Taizong.Then the most suitable candidate should be the second son Yang Wang Zhao Hao!

Thinking of this, Gao Taotao's eyes fell on the unconscious eldest son. Could he accept such a result?

"But the princes are young, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to establish a crown prince now!"

Hearing Gao Taotao's answer, how could Han Qi not understand the empress dowager's mind? He shouldn't have said more about such things.But now at a critical juncture, and the Queen Mother has such trust, I can only speak nonsense.

"Queen, the Crown Prince is not the only prince!"

"Han Gong means..."

"The status of the crown prince of the country is variable, usually the crown prince, but there are exceptions. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jingsui was the emperor's younger brother, and the Liao Kingdom had Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle. This matter needs to be decided by the queen mother and the officials." Han Qi paused slightly. , softly said: "If the official remains in a coma, the Queen Mother may be the one to decide!"

"Hmph!" Gao Taotao just responded lightly, Han Qi was really treacherous and cunning, but the meaning between the words was very clear.I'm afraid he doesn't approve of appointing a two or three-year-old child as the crown prince. If the emperor is in good health, it doesn't matter, just cultivate it slowly.

But Zhao Xu's current situation, to put it bluntly, feels that he may die at any time. How can Huangkou Xiaoer convince everyone that he is the prince?As for the emperor's uncle, directly make Zhao Zhao the crown prince?is it possible?Obviously, the most suitable candidate can only be the second son Zhao Hao, who is the most secure.

Only the eldest son can agree?If his health gradually improved, would the second son still be safe?
Although Han Qi expresses it euphemistically, he can first establish King Yang as the emperor's younger brother.If the official family is healthy and the princes grow up gradually, the crown prince will change hands.

Is it that easy?Gao Taotao was still a little worried.

In the past dynasties, the change of the crown prince was easy to shake the country, and accidents happened, and there were few safe and sound handovers.Can the second son voluntarily give up the position of crown prince in the future?Even if he gave up, with the suspicious character of the eldest son, can he rest assured?The last thing Gao Taotao wants to see is brotherhood.

It is best to discuss this matter with the eldest son Zhao Xu. If you can get his understanding and support, everyone will be happy.But he was in a coma for a long time, and if this situation continued, he could only do what Han Qi wanted.

Gao Taotao finally agreed, at least he had already started to make preparations in his heart.

Han Qi continued: "In this way, Princess Qin has the motive of deliberate murder when she is treating the officials. If she makes good use of it, the effect may be even better."

"That's right, if the officials haven't woken up at noon, then go and invite Chai Minyan!" Gao Taotao really couldn't wait anymore, some things had to be decided early.

The most respected queen mother in the world, when she was talking with the prime minister who was in power, she didn't notice that the emperor Zhao Xu moved his finger slightly on the sick bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Just in case, hmph, what else can I do besides Li Chu?" In Chang'an City, Zhao Zhao made the same speculation.

Although Gao Taotao screened back in time, the previous conversation still leaked out. Judging from the "context" and Han Qi's tone, it is easy to infer.

"Li Chu, Han Qi wants to test His Highness's mind with the establishment of the Chu, if His Highness does not object, then the future Chu will have the legal right to inherit... If he objects..." Li Cheng shook his head and said: "It will be more difficult to object! "

"Han Qi deserves to be Han Qi, who made difficult problems for the king as soon as he came up!" Zhao Zhaodao: "Then who will be the crown prince? The sixth son of the emperor or Zhao Hao?"

"If Zhao Xu dies immediately, it must be Zhao Hao, and Gao Taotao will definitely be happy for his second son to be the emperor. She is still a legitimate empress dowager, and her treatment and sense of accomplishment may surpass that of the empress dowager Dou of the Han Dynasty." Li Cheng laughed loudly. Laughing, he is also a scholar, so he naturally understands why.

"What about Zhao Xu? Who does he want to establish?" When Zhao Zhao asked, Li Cheng's eyebrows twitched, as if realizing something.

"Zhao Xu has always been suspicious. He is very jealous of his younger brother. How can he easily make Zhao Hao the crown prince? Zhao Xu is in such a hurry and gave birth to four sons at the expense of his body. Why? Why is he willing to waste his time?"

"Haha, yes, Zhao Xu is definitely not willing!"

Di Qing, who had been silent all this time, said: "What needs to be careful now is the princess. When the princess goes to see a doctor, it is easy to be made a fuss by Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao."

"Gao Taotao is willing to let the concubine take a pulse?" Li Cheng was very puzzled, Zhao Xu's illness was too late to cover up, how could he make it public?Especially guard against the Qin Palace!

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Don't think it's a good thing to go. Of course, you can know yourself and the enemy, but if it can't be cured, or there is something wrong in the middle, what should you do?"

"How is it possible, the concubine's medical skills are superb, and her hands are rejuvenated, it's impossible..." Li Cheng was halfway through the sentence, and when he realized it, he was stunned.

Zhao Zhao's face was also livid, and it was fine to deal with him. If his wife and children were affected by it, it would be unforgivable. This is a situation he does not allow.

It seems that it is time to speed up the pace, Zhao Xu's body is a variable.If he hangs up early, it will be troublesome.

If since Renzong, the throne has been passed on for three generations in the collateral clan, it will be difficult for him to seize the throne. At least the legal rationality and the attitude of the subjects will change.

So, no matter what, no one other than Zhao Xu can sit on the dragon chair again!

How to protect Chai Minyan, and how to deal with the Lichu matter?Really troublesome!

Chai Minyan's medical skills are well known throughout the country, if the Empress Dowager really proposed it, she would never be able to refuse it.The patient is too special. Before entering the ward, it is necessary to clear the responsibility of the doctor...

Zhao Zhao was worried, but news came from Bianjing that Zhao Xu woke up.

God really helped me, in this way, Chai Minyan didn't have to go to Chui Gong Hall for consultation, so he avoided a trouble!
As for the other matter, Li Chengdao: "Since the officials are awake, I'm afraid the matter of establishing a reserve will be shelved!"

Di Qing said: "The emperor must be seriously ill and comatose, and the theory of establishing the foundation of the country early will definitely become popular. Emperor Renzong encountered such a situation in the past. But Zhao Xu will most likely refuse, and finally let it go!"

"Then don't let him live in peace. Establishing a crown prince is a major matter for the country. How can it be so easy to let it go?" Zhao Zhao blinked at Di Qing and Li Cheng, and smiled meaningfully.

　I'm sorry, I'm not in the state recently, so I haven't written much, sorry.It will be back to normal later on!
