Chapter 1011 A country cannot live without a ruler for a day (2)
Everyone agrees deeply about what Tang Qianwen said before. After all, the candidate for a new monarch is indeed urgent. Many things nowadays are not something that their ministers can decide, such as how to deal with the "former crown prince" who killed his monarch. But he suddenly proposed that he should determine the candidate for a new monarch based on the order of the eldest and the young, but everyone does not agree so much.
After all, except for the prince, only the British Kings are the most powerful. The most critical problem is that in this way, the third prince is actually the third prince, respecting Wang Sunqi!
This is too ridiculous and too unacceptable.
Because in the eyes of the ministers in the court, King Jing was really a prince with no sense of existence. He was too low-key, too incompetent, and too ambitious. Although he was only two years younger than the prince in terms of age, he was injured in a small way and fell into the root of the disease. He had to rely on decoctions and acupuncture for many years to prolong his life, which led to him having no ambitions and never showed any evidence in the court. Even King Jing's title was obtained by being older.
Such a prince who has the ability or lacks connections, probably no one will be optimistic about Yousheng as the successor to the throne. Some people even complained in their hearts that if Yousheng King really succeeded to the throne, the future of the Dayue Dynasty would be really worrying...
The discussions of the ministers here naturally fell into the ears of the princes who had been crying beside the coffin. At this time, several princes all looked at the front and cried the most sadly. After everyone took a look at it, he finally realized something was wrong. He raised his head with tears in his eyes and looked at everyone: "You... what do you think I'm doing?"
"Third brother, Prime Minister Tang said that he wanted you to take over the throne..." Old Jiu Sun Wei said enviously. As the youngest middle-aged brother, he knew very well that the throne had nothing to do with him, so he naturally felt a little sad at this time.
Sun Qi was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I...I can't do it...I don't have the ability, and I never thought about becoming an emperor..." As he said that, he looked pitifully at the ministers on that side, as if they really wanted to put him on the throne.
Seeing this, Wang Han also spoke: "Since you have no intention of this, I am naturally not willing to force me. Everyone, it seems that this theory of old age still has to be put aside..."
Before the others made a decision, Tang Qianwen said again: "That may not be the case. Although King Jing cannot succeed to the throne due to his own reasons, it does not mean that the order is wrong. Since King Jing refuses, then the order is down..."
As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions changed, and before most people could say anything, many people around him had already agreed: "Not bad, since the inheritance of the throne should be in order. Since the king is humble and unwilling to accept it, let's go on the next round."
"Yes, the Sixth Prince is a wise man and has outstanding abilities. He is also below the third prince and above the princes. If he is the king, he must be the best choice in my Dayue court."
"I also think the Sixth Prince is the most suitable candidate..."
For a moment, more than a dozen ministers spoke one after another, expressing their support for Sun Lin as the new king, but they killed Wang Han and many others and caught them off guard. In this moment, Wang Xiang finally realized that this was a premeditated layout. The so-called orderly selection of King Jing as the new king was just an excuse for them to lead the Yongwang Sun Lin.
They knew very well that King Jing could not succeed the throne because he was older, but King Yong was different. Because he had already thought about taking the throne a few years ago, but later he made a mistake and was excluded from the ranks of competitors by the throne. But he didn't expect that after these years of silence, he did not really give up and secretly accumulate strength. At this moment, he actually planned to make a comeback and seize the throne in one fell swoop!
What surprised Wang Han even more was that King Yong had bribed so many people in the court without saying a word. Judging from his momentum, he was not even much weaker than when he was in power. In particular, he actually brought Tang Qianwen like Tang Qianwen to his side. You must know that Tang Qianwen was promoted by Lu Zhen at the time, and how long did Lu Xiang really leave the court? In other words, when he was the chief minister of the Political Affairs Hall, when he was in charge of the political affairs hall, he was looking at the rules and regulations and cautiousness around him, Tang Qianwen was already secretly doing things for King Yong.
After understanding the key points, Wang Han felt more alert to King Yong. After suffering setbacks, this person obviously grew up. His plan to make decisions before making moves is really terrible. Then, a bolder guess suddenly popped up in his mind. Is the murder of His Majesty last night really just as Lin Tianxiang said? The time difference between the princes and officials who came to the palace is really a coincidence, or is someone deliberately laying the groundwork, and will this person be the Yongwang who is likely to succeed in the fire?
Indeed, King Yong was very close to success at this time. With the continuous support of those officials, many other officials also wavered. As for the officials who originally had their own camp support, the prince had already given up under the current circumstances. They only think about one thing now, that is, how to clearly identify the relationship between themselves and the prince, so that they cannot let the serious crime of the prince killing his father have a slight connection with themselves.
Only the King of England had a strong opposition at this time: "The so-called order between the elders and the young is just an arrangement to maintain the stability of the world, but the situation is completely different now. There are more than the princes who are suitable for the middle age and outstanding abilities, and the King of England is the most suitable candidate."
"That's it! And don't forget that King Yong made a big mistake a few years ago, and even his title of prince was removed by His Majesty. How can he be made the king?"
"Mr. Shi is so bad, no one is wrong. What is important is that he can correct his mistakes! Is it because His Highness Yong made a mistake that he can no longer do things for the court and reform himself? If this is true, King Ying did many mistakes at the time. Not only did he contradict His Majesty many times, but he also left the capital in anger. He was also injured..."
"That was the fault that the King of England made when he was young and ignorant. How could he generalize it?"
"It's different? King Yong was also deceived at the beginning, but the wise man of the Sixth Prince has always been known to everyone in the world..."
The two people on both sides were talking and talking, and they were directly criticizing the princes recommended by the other party, and expelling their own princes, and they refused to give in to each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between the two.
Among the princes over there, Sun Lin looked like he was kneeling and crying with his other brothers, but his thoughts were already on the side of the officials. Originally, when Tang Qianwen and others took the opportunity to push him to this critical position, he was still very excited, and felt that he might be about to take the throne this time. But as a result, the British King and the same party refused to give up, kept interfering, and pointed out his original sins, and actually dragged the matter down, which made him feel angry.
I only hate that I cannot stand up and refute at this time, otherwise I should have spoken to these traitors. But he has also recorded all the identities of these British kings, and only waited for the throne to take revenge one by one, making them pay the price!
Sun Lin did feel that he was confident enough to take the throne, otherwise he would not dare to take risks in the incident last night. This was a game he learned from his lessons after his failure many years ago and set up with his patience.
Why did I fall so badly at the beginning? It was because I did something wrong, no, because I was too arrogant and finally became the target of public criticism. Then I was caught and defeated in one fell swoop!
After understanding this, Sun Lin has been much more low-key over the years than before. Many things are going on in secret. In the fight between the prince and the King of England, he has been accumulating strength, waiting for opportunities, and saving himself.
In the past few years, relying on his original accumulation, Sun Lin has indeed gained the secret support of many officials in the court, and the two most critical of these are naturally Lin Tianxiang and Tang Qianwen, who have been excluded from the palace guards.
Because of Xiao Chengzhi's continuous rise, Lin Tianxiang's status completely squeezed, which made him very uneasy and unwilling. So when King Yong threw out an olive branch to him early and continued to provide him with all aspects of help, he became King Yong's most firm supporter.
However, the prince's people were late for a long time to discover the importance of Lin Tianxiang, and then they won over it. At this time, Lin Tianxiang had long been the iron subordinate of King Yong. It was Sun Lin who came to the conclusion that he could fish for big fish in a long line after making a mistake, and then there was a false scene of Lin Tianxiang becoming the prince.
Unexpectedly, this illusion became a key link in the battle for the throne, and also the most important step for the prince's complete failure. The prince never dreamed that Lin Tianxiang, whom he trusted, was actually a double-faced spy, and was actually the king of Yong. So he had known about his adventure plan for King Yong for a long time and made corresponding arrangements with this.
As for Tang Qianwen, his role at this time was even more than Lin Tianxiang. Not only did he say that he had ordered Yong Wang as the first candidate for the new emperor in order, but he also spoke again: "It seems to me that everyone suggests that the British King be the new emperor is not bad. But have you ever thought about it? That is, now that His Majesty has passed away and the prince is trying to murder it, this matter will inevitably cause trouble to the capital, and even the world is panic. In this way, the most important thing at the moment is to have the new emperor ascend the throne immediately to appease the people's hearts.
"But the King of England is on the grasslands in the northern border. Not to mention whether he is safe now or can return safely. It is hard to say when he can return to Luoyang alone. The country cannot be without a king for a day, especially at such an important moment at this moment... Everyone, it is really too unfavorable to let the King of England be the new emperor, the court and the entire Dayue!"
