I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 88 Queen Mother!What exactly do you want to do? !

Hearing that Empress Dowager Dou's question seemed to be a grievance, but actually asked a meaningful question, Huang Sheng didn't feel anything unusual;
Subconsciously wanted to say something, but Huang Sheng stopped talking, frowning and bowing his head, lost in thought.

Speaking of the origin of the first emperor Liu Heng, we have to mention the succession sequence of the Han Dynasty throne in the past few decades.

——In the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao died, and the eldest son Liu Ying succeeded to the throne as: Emperor Xiaohui;

After Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying succeeded to the throne at the age of 15, only seven years later, Xiaohui Liu Ying died young at the age of 22.

After Xiaohui Liu Ying, the throne of the Han Dynasty was passed on to the grandson of Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang - Xiaohui's eldest son: Liu Gong.

It's just that the seven-year-old son-emperor, who was enthroned at the age of seven, was eventually abolished and killed by the Empress Dowager Lu, who was in charge of the court at that time, because of the sentence "I am not strong, but when I am strong, I will change".

By this time, for the first time in the succession of the throne of the Han Dynasty, the situation of "brother ends up with brother" appeared;

——The abolished Emperor Liu Gong ascended the throne at the age of seven, was abolished at the age of 11, and "died of illness" shortly thereafter, naturally his blood was broken;
Therefore, Empress Dowager Lu chose Changshan King Liu Yi to inherit the throne from the heirs of Emperor Xiaohui in accordance with the inheritance rule of "brother ends up with brother", and changed her name to: Liu Hong.

Four years later, Empress Dowager Lu passed away, and then the princes and ministers united internally and externally to punish Lu;
After the situation settled down, Taiwei Jianghou Zhoubo and Prime Minister Qunihou Chen Ping, who first advocated Zhulu, released the news that all the "children" of the deposed emperor Liu Gong, the false emperor Liu Hong, and Emperor Xiaohui are all relatives of the Lu family. Out of the Harem of Disaster!
Therefore, Emperor Xiaohui has no son!
Since Emperor Xiaohui 'extinct heir', the throne should be chosen from among Emperor Xiaohui's brothers according to the standard of 'brother ends up with brother'.

At that time, among the eight sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, the oldest Qi Mourning King Liu Fei, and the second eldest Han Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying had all died;
Liu Ruyi, the third king of Zhao Yin, Liu Hui, the fifth king of Zhao Gong, and Liu You, the sixth king of Zhao You, were all three consecutive "Kings of Zhao", all of whom were either overtly or covertly killed by the Empress Dowager Lu;
In addition to the accidental death and Yanling King Liu Jian who was deliberately "extinct" by the Empress Dowager Lu, counting, only two of the eight sons of the Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang were still alive at that time.

——The fourth generation king Liu Heng, and the seventh son: Liu Chang, king of Huainan.

In the end, after a brief discussion, the courtiers and officials unanimously decided to welcome the older and more loyal acting king, that is, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng.

In this way, the throne of the Han Dynasty, from Taizu Liu Bang, Xiaohui Liu Ying, to the "Deposed Emperor" Liu Gong, and the "Pseudo-Emperor" Liu Hong, was passed on to the fifth generation, but it went around and around, and was passed back to Taizu. Zu Liu Bang's son: Liu Heng.

If the two unrecognized "false emperors" are excluded, the throne of the Han Dynasty is tantamount to passing through three generations of Liu Bang-Liu Bang's son-Liu Bang's other son.

And this way of inheritance is the undoubted brotherhood.

However, for Huang Sheng who hadn't seen through the true intentions of Empress Dowager Dou, there was no problem with such inheritance rules.

"The old man believes that the queen mother should not worry about this matter;"

"Because those who accused Emperor Taizong of his origin must be illiterate countrymen."

Seeing Huang Sheng say something calmly, his brows were full of confidence.

"Father dies, son succeeds, brother ends up with younger brother, not two ways of inheritance, one pair and one wrong, but the way of inheritance of one first and one later."

"——When the father dies, when the living heirs are left behind, they should follow the principle of father's death and son succession;"

"And when the father dies and there are no living heirs left, the brother should follow the rules of brotherhood."

"At that time, all the officials in the court found out that none of the descendants of Emperor Xiaohui was in the blood of Emperor Xiaohui. This shows that when Emperor Xiaohui died, he did not leave any heirs."

"So, when Emperor Xiaohui passed away, the position of Son of Heaven should be inherited by the late emperor according to the rules of elder brother and younger brother."

"It's just that at that time, the relatives of Lu's relatives made troubles in the court, so that Lu's blood was crowned with a monkey, and usurped the position of the emperor."

"After the death of Empress Dowager Lu, the princes of the court punished the princes and princes, and then welcomed the first Emperor Taizong, but it was only to make up for the mistakes that the Lu family had made, and to restore everything to the way it should be... ·”

Expressing his opinion without hesitation, Huang Sheng couldn't help but straighten his back even more, and there was a firm look between his brows.

In the eyes of the world, Huang Lao's theory may be a lazy school of "governing by doing nothing";

But in fact, the real core of Huang Lao's "governance by doing nothing" is that there is no blame if there is no prohibition.

——As long as the law does not clearly stipulate what is not allowed to be done, there should be no interference.

And corresponding to it, it is natural that 'if the law prohibits, there must be blame'!
In other words, the Huang-Lao theory, which looks lazy on the surface, is actually an extremely firm defender of order;
Whether it is legal provisions or universal values, as long as there is a fixed order that has been formed, the determination of Huang-Lao theory to maintain order will never lose to any other school of thought.

——Including the defenders of the law: legalists!

In Huang Sheng's view, the inheritance rule of "father dies, son succeeds, brother ends with brother" is an undoubted inherent order.

Especially after this kind of inherent order was combined with Emperor Taizong Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng, in Huang Sheng's heart, it reached the height of 'no one is allowed to point fingers'.

But what Huang Sheng didn't expect was that after he gave the answer, Empress Dowager Dou's focus quickly shifted to an unexpected and inexplicably palpitating direction...
"With the old gentleman's words, I feel at ease..."

Seeing the words, Empress Dowager Dou gently stroked her chest as if a big stone had fallen from her heart;

Then, a question that made Huang Sheng dumbfounded was put on the table by Empress Dowager Dou.

"In this way, there is nothing wrong with Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen as brothers and sisters;"

"Not only was there nothing wrong, but it made the ancestral temples and shrines that Emperor Taizu Gao worked so hard to build, not fall into the danger of subversion because of Lu's relatives."

"——Then if there is another incident of 'brother end brother and brother' happening again in the throne of the Han family, is there a precedent to follow?"

"After all, Emperor Taizong took the position of emperor just by following the rules of brotherhood and brotherhood;"

"In the future, there should be nothing wrong with the descendants of Emperor Taizong's descendants inheriting the great line because of the principle of brotherhood and brotherhood?"

Hearing Queen Dowager Dou's successive hearings, Huang Sheng's eyes widened in astonishment, and he cast his unimaginable gaze on the old woman in front of him who still had a gentle smile on her face;
At this moment, Huang Sheng had only one question in his mind.

— Queen Mother!
What exactly do you want to do? !
