Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 351 Disadvantage: Too Capable
According to the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun": Where there is no prince in the court, the elder brother will eventually be born to the younger brother, and the birth of the aunt's mother must be established, but the birth of the concubine's mother cannot be established even though he grows up.

According to the inheritance system, if Zhu Houzhao is gone, he should first look for it from among Zhu Houzhao's brothers, but Ming Xiaozong only had Empress Zhang as his daughter-in-law, and only gave birth to Zhu Houzhao's only son.

Therefore, the idea of ​​finding from Zhu Houzhao's nephews can basically be ruled out, and Zhu Youtang's branch will be considered extinct when it comes to Zhu Houzhao.

Then the next one can only be found according to the closest blood.

Zhu Youtang had no heirs, so he could only find them from Zhu Jianshen. Zhu Jianshen had sown a lot. He had 14 sons in his life. The number of sons was second only to the founding emperor Zhu Chongba in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the offspring of these sons are not prosperous, they also gave birth to as many as 21 grandsons for Zhu Jianshen, which means that Zhu Houzhao has 20 cousins, all of whom are eligible to inherit the throne.

It's just that there is an orderly seniority here. Although Zhu Jianshen has four sons, the eldest son and the second son died young. The third son is Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, and the next one is Xingwang Zhu Youtang.

According to the order of elder and younger, Xing Wang Zhu Youzhu is the oldest among the remaining brothers, and his son naturally has advantages over other clan branches.

In addition to conforming to the ancestral system, the status of the current Prince Xing is also more reasonable.

How reasonable?
First, the new heir must have his father passed away, otherwise his father would still be alive, and there would be more emperors in this successor, which would be detrimental to the distribution of imperial power and would easily cause trouble.

Second, it is better for this person to be an only son and have no brothers.After all, the throne is attractive, once this person becomes the emperor, other brothers will covet him when they see it, and it is easy to cause troubles and cause the court to be unstable.

King Ning's lineage still had rebellion during the time of Emperor Zhengde, and in the final analysis it was the scourge left by Zhu Di.

Both of these points are met by the current Prince Xing.

The old prince just passed away, and he has no other brothers now.

"Weizhong, Weizhong! If calculated in this way, Prince Xing...the chance of Prince Xing is great!"

Zhang Cong's face flushed with excitement.

"It's not very big, I think it's quite big. Even though the group of people can see the sky, but in order to stabilize the situation, it is natural to follow the ancestral system. I have already analyzed other candidates who can participate, according to the distance and various conditions, Our Lord Xing is a suitable candidate, but I don’t know if those people dare to choose him. I am worried that he is too capable and will make those people afraid! You must know that the emperor didn’t stop him at the beginning, and Lord Xing may be the first champion prince in Ming Dynasty! "

Yan Song was so excited that his voice trembled a little.

When he first thought of this, he was a little skeptical. Today, he took a rest during the day and wrote and drew pictures at home, analyzing the situation. The more he analyzed, the more reliable he felt, and he had already inquired that the candidates under discussion had been mentioned Lord Xing.

"Weizhong, our Lord Xing is indeed the best candidate. I can assure you that if he can be replaced, our Daming will definitely catch up with the prosperous age. You don't know that he is not only capable of both civil and military skills, but also in Anlu Prefecture. Promote new types of grain planting, local grain harvests, not only understand the upper class, but also understand the agricultural economy, such an emperor is probably only the entrepreneurial emperor Taizu alive! It’s just that the prince is too capable, will those people be afraid? Think, if you are Mr. Yang Ge, would you be willing to let such a capable person be the emperor? You must know that the current emperor is too disobedient..."

After Zhang Cong was happy, he was a little worried.

Although Prince Xing meets all the conditions, he is a popular candidate.

But if the guys in the cabinet choose the new emperor, there is probably the most important point. This person should not be too old, but also not too young, let alone too capable!
If this person is too capable, it will be difficult for the real power in the court cabinet to control.

They will definitely not choose to send Zhu Houzhao away, and their power will inevitably be weakened after the new emperor ascends the throne.

Of course, the age should not be too young. If the age is too young, it will inevitably lead to the situation of being suspicious of the young country.

If Zhu Houzhao's son is better, there is nothing to say, but if anyone chooses a younger one, he will be suspected of having ulterior motives.

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't have the ability to listen to politics behind a curtain. That woman acted like a baby in front of her husband.

As for Yang Tinghe, unless he wants to be a powerful minister who will not be remembered for a long time, he will not be so stupid and become a public enemy.

For the current plan, it is estimated that those people should have discussed and discussed many times. The new emperor to be selected should not only conform to the ancestral system, so that people have nothing to say, but also be obedient.

Zhang Cong's words cooled Yan Song's originally excited mood a lot.

"Bingyong, what you said is that our lord is in line with everything, the only downside is that he is too capable!"

Yan Song murmured.

"No!"

Yan Song suddenly cried out in surprise.

"what happened?"

Zhang Cong glanced at Yan Song, wondering what the hell this old boy was doing.

"Bingyong, Bingyong, our prince is capable, those people don't know, they don't know our prince is capable!"

Yan Song said, and couldn't help laughing after finishing speaking.

Prince Xing was young and mature, and had always kept a low profile. It was only later that they found out that Qin Shao, who was omnipotent in their eyes, turned out to be the son of Prince Xing, who is now Prince Xing.

Those people don't even know that the person who will try No.1 and leave the talented Yang Shen behind is the current Prince Xing.

Yan Song's reminder made Zhang Cong's eyes light up.

"Weizhong, if you put it this way, our lord is indeed... However, before the matter is decided, we can't... And should we inform the lord?"

Even though the matter hadn't been settled yet, Zhang Cong's heart was already overflowing with surprises.

As a man, I am not afraid that things will fail. What I am most afraid of is that I dare not even think about it. For such an outstanding person as their prince, there is nothing that they dare not think about!
As long as their lord can become the emperor, they will definitely follow the lord to change this court to heaven!

"You don't need to inform the prince!"

The two were about to say something when a voice suddenly came from the door.

The two people in the room were shocked, but when they heard the voice of the person coming, the previous panic calmed down.

"Commander Wang!"

"Commander Wang!"

Seeing Wang Yun coming in, the two hurriedly stood up.

After Qin Shao left Beijing, because of his relationship with the tea house and the tabloid, Wang Yun was also arranged to help out from time to time.

Because Wang Yun was an old acquaintance, it was no wonder that Zhang Cong's son let him in without notifying him.

"Haha, two, what kind of commander am I now? I'm at home now, and I'm in white clothes. Don't call me a commander in the future, just call me Brother Yun."

Wang Yun said with a smile, and he was not polite, took the water poured by Zhang Cong and drank it all in one gulp.

Although he said that he is at home now, he is very busy with various errands. He rushed to Zhang Cong's place just after he came back from the outside, and he happened to hear the conversation between Yan Song and Zhang Cong.

"Brother Yun, you heard my conversation with Brother Weizhong just now, my lord... Maybe my lord... What do you think? By the way, what do you mean you don't need to notify the lord?"

Zhang Cong's excitement hadn't calmed down before, but Wang Yun couldn't help but said as soon as he sat down.

After talking halfway, I suddenly remembered that I didn't need to inform the prince just now, what did that mean?
