Chapter 231 You Lost My Father's Love Forever

Fang Hao came to Taiqiu in the ninth year of Hongxi.

Hongxi is the year name given by the current emperor after he ascended the throne.

He was over fifty when he came to the throne.

There is such a giant of the Xuandu faction pressing on it, and the national teacher representing the Xuandu faction is even more permanent in the capital. The political situation in Taiqiu Kingdom is basically relatively peaceful, and the emperor will generally not The political situation changes and lives are lost.

After all, it is a world with monks, even if it is only a secular regime, as an emperor above ten thousand people, he can obtain some life-prolonging medicines to make himself live longer.

This also caused those successors to become emperor later.

It is normal to take the throne after fifty years of age.

As long as it is not too turbulent, there are still decades of emperors to be emperors in the future.

However, Emperor Hongxi has been quite depressed recently.

He did not become an emperor until he was over fifty, and he had only been an emperor for a decade or so, and he hadn't enjoyed enough, and someone was urging him from behind.

The Seventh Prince seemed a little impatient to wait.

In fact, he preferred the Seventh Prince to be his successor, because the Seventh Prince was born to his favorite concubine, and he was quite good at currying favor with him before, so he thought it would be good for his son to be the emperor.

But he doesn't think it's a good thing for his son to be emperor now, because his own emperor hasn't been enough yet.

The Seventh Prince is not yet 30 years old, and it is completely acceptable for him to wait another 20 years to succeed him.

If you are young, if you don't enjoy life, what kind of emperor will you be?

This made him somewhat dissatisfied with the Seventh Prince.

However, he no longer dared to express his dissatisfaction.

Because, the seventh prince and the national teacher are very close.

He also heard the news that this national teacher has obtained the qualification to serve as a national teacher in Taiqiu for 20 years from the Xuandu faction. During this term, he can represent the Xuandu faction to do anything.

Among them, of course, is the abolition of the emperor.

Nowadays, many ministers often go to the seventh prince's palace - this kind of thing was originally taboo, but now no one cares about such taboos, and they all want to hug the next emperor's lap as soon as possible.

With the National Master as his backer, he is so awesome.

Emperor Hongxi didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with the seventh prince now, and when father and son faced each other, he would even show some flattery intentionally or unintentionally.

He couldn't afford to offend the Imperial Master either.

As long as he can continue to sit in the emperor's position, he doesn't mind showing his weakness appropriately.

What made him feel bad was that the Seventh Prince seemed to be a little impatient, or the National Teacher was already a little impatient, and had already launched an offensive of public opinion.

In the spring of the 11th year of Hongxi, the monthly magazine "Taiqiu Literature" with a circulation of [-] copies published a novel about a certain emperor of Taiqiu Kingdom abdicating the throne to his outstanding prince hundreds of years ago, "Er Sheng Zhishi" ".

That novel seems to be just a very simple sycophant, that is, it praises the emperor who gave up the throne, and also praises the emperor who succeeded him.

Anyway, it is a big drama about father's kindness and son's filial piety, interspersed with the old routine of the royal family always correctly moving from one victory to another.

The entire novel is written in vernacular, has no artistic quality, and is even inconsistent with the real history.

At least Emperor Hongxi knew that the so-called passing on the throne was not at all filial to father and son, but full of moral degeneration and distortion of human nature under imperial power.

The happy life of the Supreme Emperor written in the novel after the old emperor passed the throne is just a novelist's words. In fact, the Supreme Emperor was imprisoned in the palace and died within two years.

This novel did not attract everyone's attention for a period of time after it was published.

Until more than a month later, the "Taiqiu News" with a circulation of 15 copies published a commentator's article "Looking at the Benign Alternation of Power from the Novel [Er Sheng Zhishi]" to comment on this novel.

In that article, he praised the emperor mentioned in the novel who voluntarily handed over the throne to his capable son. He believed that he was not greedy for power, and he would let go when it was time to let go, and let more capable people rule the country. The country is very rare.

There is no doubt that this is a benign rotation of rights.

In the article, the commentator also cited some examples of the faint kings who put the whole country into crisis because they were reluctant to hand over power, saying that it was irresponsible to the whole country, and it was quite a bad behavior.

Everyone in the officialdom knows that "Taiqiu News" is the mouthpiece of the national teacher.

It is not difficult to guess what the voice of the national teacher's mouthpiece now means.

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

"Taiqiu Newspaper" Hongxi has been revised at the beginning of 11, from a ten-day period to a five-day period.

After publishing the article "Looking at the Benign Rotation of Power from the Novel [Two Saints Rule the World]", related articles appeared in each of the next ten or so issues.

Either it is to praise the emperor who voluntarily gave up the throne, or it is to publish news about the shrewd, capable and kind-hearted Seventh Prince.

Today the Seventh Prince killed a corrupt group, tomorrow the Seventh Prince brought food, oil and noodles to visit the widowed elderly, and the day after tomorrow, the Seventh Prince mingled with orphans in the orphanage.

In short, the image is very bright.

Under the guidance of such public opinion, many ministers are ready to move.

After all, for a courtier, the merit of supporting him is the greatest contribution.

Pushing the Seventh Prince to the throne not only pleases the Seventh Prince, but also pleases the national teacher behind the Seventh Prince.

That really is the legendary win-win situation, winning twice, winning is numb!

In May of the 11th year of Hongxi, the Seventh Prince Group officially sounded the clarion call to charge for the throne.

One morning, in front of civil and military officials, Qin Tianjian came out, saying that he watched the sky at night and found that the emperor star had shifted, and was panicked. After a long period of observation and analysis, he found that it was a sign of great auspiciousness. .He thinks this indicates that the throne will be replaced, and then the world will be prosperous.

He is just the inspector of the sky, and he doesn't ask about the government. He just tells the celestial phenomena he sees for the reference of the court.

So he didn't say who the throne should be passed on to.

He just said that the throne was about to be replaced.

After throwing this stone, pieces of jade soon came out.

Many ministers took up the conversation, they did not discuss whether the throne should be passed on, but directly discussed which prince the emperor's position should be passed on to.

The conclusion is of course that the seventh prince is wise and capable.

It seems that he just followed Qin Tianjian Jianzheng's words, but Emperor Hongxi has already seen through all this:
"It wasn't unintentional. They came prepared to attack me, an old emperor in his 60s."

is this okay?

This is of course not good.

But he had no way to make a comeback, so he could only comply with their wishes and pass the throne to the seventh prince to save himself some dignity.

——If you are not decent, others will help you to be decent.

As soon as the horn of the charge sounded, the war was over.

The Seventh Prince became the new emperor.

The whole country rejoiced.

There is only one old father in his 60s who grieves in his heart:
"Although you became the emperor, you have lost my father's love forever!"
