A Clash of Gods

Emperor Dachu died, although Yang Ning was surprised, but he didn't feel much in his heart. Mao Wenshou looked sad and couldn't help saying: "The Saint died and his prince succeeded him. I think the court also did In preparation, after the new king succeeds, everything should calm down quickly. "

Mao Wenshou nodded slightly: "I hope so."

Qi Feng couldn't help but say: "The most worrying thing now is that the prince failed to rush back in time.

"Prince can't come back?" Yang Ningqi said: "What does this say? Is the prince not in Beijing?"

Qi Feng whispered: "The prince of the Eastern Qi State will hold the crown prince and hold a grand ceremony. The prince will lead the mission to participate in it, and he has not heard that he has returned to Beijing."

"East Qi State?" Yang Ning felt a little dazed. "How come there is another East Qi State? Isn't there only one Northern Han?"

Qi Feng and Mao Wenshou glanced at each other, Mao Wenshou pretended to be calm, Qi Feng was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Shizi is right, and Dongqi is not a country, and the land is narrow and the population is rare, but "Yeah ... hey ..." But he didn't go on. He knew that his son was still muddled not long ago. Only recently he was conscious of many things. It's not surprising that many things are ignorant.

Mao Wenshou saw that Yang Ning was still in a dazed face, explaining: "Shizi, Dongqi is located on the Shandong Peninsula, and has a small territory, occupying the land of Qingzhou, and its jurisdiction is only the land of nine counties, not even our Jing. The land of the South is vast. Originally, neither my Dachu nor the Northern Hans really regarded Dong Qi as a country, but they had the East Sea Marine Division in their hands and were good at water warfare, so although the national strength was weak, they could be safe. . "

"It turned out to be so." Yang Ning realized that there was even a small East Qi State between the two great powers. Mao Wenshou's words, he heard clearly, knowing that the East Qi State occupied the Jiaodong Peninsula area, Because the Jiaodong Peninsula is facing the sea on three sides, it is reasonable to have a naval force.

It is really not easy for such a small country to seize the corner and survive between the two great powers.

But since neither of the two great powers regarded Dong Qi as potted vegetables, how could Da Chu send his prince to participate in the ceremony of Dong Qi?

But when I thought about it a little, I understood the key points.

In the confrontation between Nanchu and Beihan, the two sides are evenly matched. In this case, whoever can win the East Qi will naturally have a little more power. After all, the East Qi is weak, but it is not useless, at least they There is also a powerful naval master in his hand, and the existence of such a naval force is enough to make the Northern Han and Nan Chu salivate.

Sure enough, Mao Wenshou said: "The crown prince went to participate in the ceremony of Dong Qi, which was given to the face of Dong Qi People's Congress. If the Dong Qi naval master could use it for my Dachu, the Northern Han people would not dare to act lightly."

"In this way, the prince is still in Dongqi now?" Yang Ning said: "The Saint died, and the prince will get the news and he will rush back immediately."

Mao Wenshou was a bit worried, not speaking.

Yang Ning couldn't help but ask: "You said that someone in Jingli would take advantage of the chaos, who has such a courage?"

Mao Wenshou said: "If you have a loyal loyalty, there should be no problems." Waving hands: "The court has its own deployment. Before the collapse, the predecessor of the Ming dynasty must have made proper arrangements. We are just casual. Talk about the major affairs of the country.

"I'm just afraid ...!" Qi Feng said half, but didn't say anything, but his expression was severe.

Yang Ning saw that both of them were talking about Yunshan's fog, and he couldn't help but say: "Can you talk a little bit more? I have listened for a long time, and I don't know what you are talking about." Pointing at Qi Feng said: "You What are you afraid of? "

Qi Feng hesitated for a while before lowering his voice and said: "Shizi, you don't know, some people ... some people don't think that the crown prince can inherit the Great Command."

"What?" Yang Ning stunned. "It's not that the crown prince inherits the grand rule, why is it that the crown prince is established? Isn't the crown prince the crown prince?"

Mao Wenshou slightly nodded and said: "What the world's son said is very much, the crown prince is the crown prince, the son inherits his father's inheritance, it is right and proper, according to the principle, the crown prince inherits the unification is naturally justifiable, just ... Some people are unwilling, and what the lower officials are worried about is that the group of people will take advantage of the chance to make a difference. "

"Which people?" Yang Ning still couldn't understand.

"Huainan King!" Qi Feng finally said: "We are only afraid that Huainan King will take advantage of this opportunity."

"Huainan King?" Yang Ning immediately thought of Jinyi Hou Qijing's funeral. On the day before the palace sent people to preach, the Huainan King arrived first, crying and offering Jinyihou at the gate of the city. At that time, many people were even moved.

He remembered that the Huainan King was in his early forties, but it seemed to be very noble, but when the **** in the palace arrived, the Huainan King behaved indifferently, and even took the people away before reading the decree, which seemed quite rude. Yang Ning's impression of King Huainan is quite deep. He was surprised when Qi Feng mentioned King Huainan. He asked, "Are you worried that King Huainan will have trouble?" Frowning, "What can he do? A king?" Is it possible to prevent the crown prince from inheriting the grand rule? "

"Other princes may not have this kind of competence, but the Huainan king is different." Mao Wenshou lowered his voice and said: "Shizi, as far as the official knows, in fact ... In fact, Huainan king is qualified to inherit the throne."

Yang Ning stunned: "Huainan King is qualified to inherit the throne? Master Mao, what do you mean?"

Mao Wenshou explained: "My great Emperor Chu, the Emperor Wude of the martial arts martial arts, conquered the world, founding the great Chu, but ..... just died in the early years of his life, and he died sooner than 40 years old, Emperor Taizu Before the collapse, the Huainan king was still in the swaddle. At that time, the world was still turbulent, the southern rioters were like clouds, the Bashu was not settled, and the Northern Han people were also watching ....! "

"King Huainan is the son of Emperor Taizu?" Yang Ning asked.

Mao Wenshou nodded and said: "Not only the emperor of the Taizu emperor, but also the only one. The emperor was in troubled times and conquered the world. There was a prince who was born but died in his childhood. King Huainan was the second son of the emperor Taizu, but The eldest son died, and King Huainan was actually the only prince of the emperor Taizu. "

Yang Ningqi said: "Since King Huainan is the only heir of the Emperor Taizu, why ... why is it now just the king?"

"This is related to the situation at that time." Mao Wenshou said: "The Taizu collapsed, the situation was critical, and the internal and external problems. At that time, only the Emperor Taizong was able to stabilize the situation. The Taizong Emperor is the brother of the Taizu Emperor, and the Taizu conquered the world. , Emperor Taizong was with him from beginning to end, with countless battles, but the arm of Emperor Taizu ...! "

Yang Ning instantly understood and said, "That's the brother and the brother."

He knew the succession of the throne, mostly in two situations, either the father inherited the inheritance, or the brother and the younger brother, and if they were wise, they were rare.

Even brothers and brothers are the only ones in history, unless the situation is compelling. Generally speaking, it is a matter of course that the son inherits the mountains and rivers of the Lao Tzu.

Mao Wenshou said something, Yang Ning already understood the reason.

There is no doubt that Chu Taizu is naturally a generation of owls, and he has defeated half of the country. However, he died young in the early years, and the Huainan king was in his baby clothes.

It was reasonable and reasonable for the Huainan King to succeed the throne, but under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, the newly established Chu State needs a strong and prestigious figure to sit in the town and consolidate the Chu State into a fist, otherwise it will be A piece of sand is scattered, and a baby who is still in the baby's infant, of course, cannot have the ability to condense people's hearts.

The Emperor Taizong followed the Taizu to fight the world, and his prestige was outstanding, and his prestige was enough to stabilize people's hearts. In that case, it was naturally the best choice for Taizong to inherit the rule.

"As said, Taizong inherited the great cause, it was his brother and brother, and the emperor Taizu thought of the world and passed the throne to the emperor Taizong ...!" Mao Wenshou hesitated before lowering his voice: " However, there were rumors that the Emperor Taizu passed the throne to Taizong before his death. Taizong refused to accept it. It was the Emperor Taizu who insisted that the Emperor Taizong attach great importance to the great cause, and then the Emperor Taizong took the Yuxi, and the Emperor Taizu I promise that when King Huainan grows up, he will pass the throne to King Huainan. "

Yang Ning thought, not to say whether it was true or false, even if the Emperor Taizong really said this at the time, it could not be taken seriously. Once the power was in his hands, I was afraid that few people would let go. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

"Huainan King is still the king today, and Emperor Taizong naturally did not pass the throne to him." Yang Ning said.

Mao Wenshou said: "After the Emperor Taizong inherited the throne, he took on the unfinished cause of the Emperor Taizu and continued to conquer all kinds of gangsters. Except for the land of Bashu, the south of Huai Shui collected all of my big Chu. The Emperor Taizong also fell ill. In fact, when the Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, there were many people who advised the Emperor Taizong to register the prince. The Emperor Taizong did not pay attention. Until he fell ill, he finally established the current Saint as the prince and sealed the Huainan King. To be king. "

"It turns out so, no wonder you said that there will be people who are unwilling." At this time, Yang Ning understood the cause and effect. He could understand the unwillingness of Huainan King, but he could also understand the heart of Emperor Taizong. The territory of Dachu was not really established. The territory of Dachu was roughly determined in the hands of Emperor Taizong. Before he died, he naturally thought of handing over the mountains he had beaten down to his children and grandchildren. In the hands of King Huainan.

King Huainan, as the only prince of Taizu, in his view, Dachu was founded by his ancestors, and he inherited the great Chu empire created by his ancestors. That was a matter of righteousness, and Taizong's lineage was in the eyes of King Huainan, of course. The robber who took his throne against the agreement.

"Today's sages are strategizing and appointing wise men, and the land of Bashu is also included in the territory of my great Chu." Mao Wenshou said: "The sage always respects the Huainan kings. Won the honor, no one can control it, but it's a pity ...! "He shook his head without saying anything.

Qi Feng had not spoken all the time, and finally he couldn't help saying: "Shizi, in any case, won't let the Huainan King succeed, if the Huainan King became the emperor, our Qi family can just ...!" , The expression became abnormally grim.
