Miao Yan kept complaining about the emperor in his heart, but on the surface he still couldn't refute it.

First of all, this is the monarch and the emperor he serves for, and his majesty cannot be refuted.

Secondly, it is really bad to fight at this time, and it is normal to slowly draw it.

To be honest, based on Miao Yan's years of experience in solving cases, he felt that the trial of Sun Bin and Zhu Zhe was of no use at all.

If they were really related to the assassination case of Prince Minghao back then, they would not stay here, but would run away with Li Fan. This group of people is lazy and greedy and abuse of power. How much punishment do you expect them to stand?

In fact, when they were locked in at the beginning, they had some urination and answered whatever they asked.

It’s just that the emperor asked Miao Yan to check it carefully, so now they don’t believe all their words. They have to wait until they collapse, and the confession of their confession will be useful.

Miao Yan was thinking this way, and Feng Yuqiang over there hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Miao Yan was stunned.

Although Feng Yuqiang is not a member of the Legalist, this bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is upright and decisive, and has always been decisive.

Why do you suddenly speak so hesitantly?

Emperor Jing He didn't think so much, and raised his hand and said, "Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, now that such a thing has happened, it will definitely shock the government and the public when it is reported." Feng Yuqiang said, "If you want to calm people's hearts, I think you should make some preparations."

“What about?”

"for example……"

Feng Yuqiang gritted his teeth, "The emperor is the foundation of the country, the crown prince is the future of the country, and orderly inheritance is the basis of prosperity and development. Taizu once said this and there were plans. I beg the emperor to give a decree to appoint a prince as the prince of the empire to comfort the hearts of the subjects in the world."

"presumptuous!"

Ma Haoqiu immediately scolded, "Your Majesty is only forty-eight years old this year. There are 60 old men in the people who can still let their wives and concubines give birth to children. Does Your Majesty have countless beauties in the harem and cannot have another prince?"

He was the only one who scolded him, and no one else spoke.

This made Jing Hedi a little sad.

Especially when he said this, Feng Yuqiang, whom he regarded as a good teacher and friend, said.

He was silent for a while and said, "Mo He, why are you trying to force me so tightly? Is it so realistic for people?"

Emperor Jing He knew very well that the emperor with a prince and the emperor without a prince were two different concepts.

An emperor with a prince is as stable as Mount Tai.

An emperor without a prince is the rootless Ping and has no future.

If you don’t even have an heir, how can others respect you?

It’s better to please those who are qualified to inherit the throne.

That's why Emperor Jinghe felt that Feng Yuqiang was too realistic.

Feng Yuqiang kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I have been with Your Majesty for more than thirty years. In your heart, is I such a realistic villain?"

He asked back.

Emperor Jinghe was speechless, or silent.

Feng Yuqiang continued: "I am thinking about you and the country, and I have no selfishness... If Your Majesty does not believe it, I am willing to retire today and go home to take care of my old age."

"you……"

Jing Hedi frowned.

Seeing that the situation was very stiff, Cao Yi had no choice but to stand up, "Your Majesty, don't blame Master Feng, he has actually thought about you."

There are many smart people, and every minister present is.

Zhong Chang also said loudly at this time: "Your Majesty, we are all your Majesty's ministers, and we are definitely not resistant ministers who are dissatisfied with each other. If Lord Feng was such a person, he would not have said he would have been appointed as the prince of the empire. He would have been directly appointed as the crown prince. Wouldn't that be more convenient for him to please the crown prince?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nangong Ji also stood up, "Mo He just used a stopgap measure to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world. The prince of the empire is just a prince, but he is not the prince. When the new prince is born, the prince will always be the prince. Who dares to say a word?"

Except for the emperor who was in trouble because he was in charge of his own affairs and did not appreciate this meaning, the other important officials, even Zhao Shou, actually understood the meaning of "a prince named the prince of the empire."

This is just Feng Yuqiang's expedient approach.

Even if he hopes that Jing and Emperor will have another prince, the stability of the country is necessary.

Besides, the title of Prince of Empire is a completely alternative in the hearts of those who understand it.

Only the common people who don’t know anything mistakenly think that he will be the future emperor.

In fact, as long as you are not named the crown prince, there will be no guarantee of legal status.

Just like Nangong Ji reminded, at most, I have been the prince since then. What's the point?

With such a series of explanations from everyone, Jing Hedi felt much more comfortable.

Although it was still a bit disgusting, it was not very resistant overall.

Who told him not have more than ten or twenty sons?

If there are too many sons, you will not be afraid of being killed.

hehe.

If Liu Mingqi knew about his idea, the boy would only sneer.

I think you don’t know who Hu Hai is.

I don’t know what Li Er, the second emperor of the age, did.

In his thoughts, Emperor Jing He finally nodded slowly, "So...who do you think is suitable?"

A group of people looked at each other.

Even a person as hard as Miao Yan is not willing to be the first to stand out.

Emperor Jing He smiled angry at this time, "What? I wasn't afraid of offending me just now, but now you are mute?...Mohe, you are the first to say it!"

Feng Yu toughened his teeth, "Your Majesty, I think that Prince Mingguan of the Prince of Li is elegant and talented, generous, and well-read, and is a good candidate."

"Um."

Emperor Jing He continued to name without comment, "Cao Xiang, what do you think?"

Cao Yi coughed lightly, "I also think Your Highness Mingguan is suitable."

The emperor continued to name: "Qinggu, where are you?"

Zhong Chang said: "Your Highness Mingguan is a good candidate."

Ma Haoqiu said so.

However, when the last one, Nangong Ji, who was no longer the deputy prime minister, said another idea: "Your Majesty, I think Your Highness Mingguan is very good. But if you choose a prince, there shouldn't be only one person, or in other words, you can't think that it's him. It's just a foregone conclusion. This inherent impression is not good."

"Yeah, it's not bad." Jing Hedi agreed very much.

If only one prince is named Prince, then he will definitely receive a lot of resources and attention during this free period.

Many people will come to join him and want to soar to the sky with him.

And this group of people will become the biggest resistance for the future prince.

If there are too many people, it will definitely not be a good thing for Da Kang Dynasty.

But it is different to divide into two princes. It is equivalent to dividing speculative people into two parts. Naturally, their cohesion can be reduced and thus the threat to the future prince.

"So who is the second one?" Jing Hedi asked everyone.

Zhao Shou, who lowered his head, twitched his mouth.

There are only four princes, and there are three left now. Who do you think is the most suitable one?

As expected, Miao Yan directly recommended without saying a word: "Ming Qi, the prince of Prince Yu, has done many good things for the country and the people, and has no ambition for the officialdom. I think he is the most suitable."

"Yeah, Mingqi..."

Emperor Jing He nodded with gratitude, "But Ming Qi would have become the future prince of the empire, and she wanted to become the master of the clan's mansion. This seems to be because of making up the numbers, haha!"

Among the nephews who have so many things to say, Liu Mingqi is the one who likes the emperor the most.

And he is the most inappropriate one.

Which empire prince would do you think that he would be so active and enthusiastic about doing those strange things?

Emperor Jinghe asked him to be the prince and balance Mingguan. He would be more at ease.

The reason is too simple, not only because Liu Mingqi likes to do the art of doing the mechanism, but also because he definitely doesn't like any official communication and never deals with literati students, officials, etc. on weekdays.

Emperor Jinghe agreed from his own emotional perspective, but Cao Yi next to him agreed from his own rational perspective.

The Prime Minister said: "Your Highness Mingqi is also a saint recognized by the world. Since he is a saint, there must be no flaw in moral qualities. If the prince is born in the future, if he does not actively ask to resign from the title of prince and recognize the only legitimacy of the prince, then all the literati in the world will scold him!"

"That's right." Feng Yuqiang also agreed, "If you want to be a saint, there are too many people who need to endure sacrifice. If you hold him high, you will naturally not be shameless."

OK.

This is a moral kidnapping.

However, Jing Hedi was very happy.
