The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, all officials gathered together.

Generally, there are only three grand banquets for the emperor and officials in a year, namely the New Year's Day Banquet, the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet and the Emperor's Birthday.

Because he had to start arranging the team sent to Silla and the reward for Queen Deshan, Li Chengdao came over half an hour after the Mid-Autumn Festival started.

However, since he had given the order in advance, the banquet was not waiting for him. Zheng Guanyin presided over the banquet before he came.

After Li Chengdao entered the hall, he walked directly to the main table. The smile on his face made it obvious at a glance that he was in an excellent mood.

"My dear friends, please stop the banquet for a moment. I want to announce something."

After Li Chengdao walked up the steps, he clapped his hands and said, all the eyes of the officials in the Baohe Hall were focused on him.

They were all curious about what Li Chengdao was going to announce.

In front of all the civil servants and generals, Li Chengdao took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in as calm a voice as possible: "I...have a dragon heir."

After Li Chengdao finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

All civil and military officials were shocked by the news announced by Li Chengdao. His Majesty has a dragon heir? !

Changsun Wuji was the first to come to his senses, his face immediately showed joy, he left the table and paid homage: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The rest of the ministers also woke up from their dreams, and left their seats to pay their respects and congratulate each other. All kinds of congratulatory sounds filled the entire Baohe Hall, and it suddenly became noisy.

"Your Majesty is blessed with a dragon heir during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is an auspicious sign!"

"The Tian family bloodline has finally been inherited! I can rest assured!"

"I congratulate your majesty on the birth of a dragon heir. I wish your majesty a prosperous spring and autumn and a prosperous royal family!"

"The country has a dragon heir, and the country's body is safe!"

……

The news that Li Chengdao announced that he had a dragon heir was not surprising.

You must know that as the king of a country, the most important thing is to establish a prince and stabilize the country.

As for why we do this, the reason is simple.

For example, to put it bluntly, if Li Chengdao were to gain control of Bintian due to some accident, then the prince could directly ascend to the throne, and the country's political power could be smoothly transferred.

But if there is no crown prince, the country will fall into turmoil due to the struggle for imperial power, and all forces will begin to prepare for action.

But Li Chengdao not only did not establish a prince, but he also did not even have any descendants. He was the only one left in the entire royal family's direct line!

If he really had an accident and died suddenly, the country would immediately fall into chaos. This is not a joke at all.

Therefore, since Li Chengdao ascended the throne, officials from the Manchu Dynasty often wrote letters asking him to "work more" and give birth to an heir as soon as possible to stabilize the country. Some officials even offered various secrets in the house and even their own daughters.

In order for Li Chengdao to have descendants, it can be said that he did not spare any effort.

So one can imagine how excited they would be when Li Chengdao suddenly announced that he had a dragon heir after waiting for almost three years.

"Your Majesty, which empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus? This is a great joy!"

Wei Zheng asked with a smile on his face. At the same time, he looked at the many concubines sitting on the table, guessing which concubine was pregnant with a dragon fetus.

However, many of the concubines looked a little embarrassed. Li Chengdao had already looked away and confessed directly: "This is why I want to announce it in public today... The one who is pregnant with a dragon fetus is Queen Deokshan of Silla."

"Today I just want to ask all of you dear friends, after this dragon heir is born, how should I canonize him and what title should I give him?"

This is the purpose of Li Chengdao's public announcement today.

The identity of Queen Deshan is somewhat embarrassing. She is the monarch of Silla, but she is pregnant with the child of Li Chengdao, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So what status should be given to the child after he is born? In the future, will he inherit the throne of Silla or the throne of Tang Dynasty?

Li Chengdao had not thought about this before. He did not think about this issue until Queen Deshan was pregnant with the child.

As agreed with Queen Deokseon, will the born child inherit the throne of Silla?I am afraid that many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will stand up and refuse to agree.

Therefore, he simply raised it directly and left the issue to these ministers to debate.

"Queen Deshan is pregnant with a dragon heir?!"

Many ministers were stunned, and they all looked at Li Chengdao with admiration.

Queen Deshan has been in Chang'an for less than two months, and she has been conquered by your majesty?As expected of your Majesty!

Being stared at by so many eyes, Li Chengdao couldn't help but feel his face getting hot no matter how thick-skinned he was. He coughed and then changed the subject and said: "My dear friends, let's discuss the problem I just had..."

The ministers looked away, and then began to think about Li Chengdao's question.

I have to say that it is indeed a very troublesome matter to give the title of dragon heir in Queen Deshan's belly.

If any of the concubines in Li Chengdao's harem except Hu Yanrena were pregnant with a dragon heir, as long as the child was born a prince, not to mention all the ministers, at least two-thirds would support his appointment as the prince.

But if Queen Deshan gives birth to a prince, she will have to think about it carefully.

Because Queen Deshan was a foreigner and not a Han from the Central Plains, how could a prince with foreign ancestry be the emperor of the Han family?

But if he doesn't make him the prince, Li Chengdao currently has no other heirs, so he has no choice at all.

After the ministers chattered for a long time, Li Gang, the Minister of Rites, stood up first and stood out, cupping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, if Queen Deshan gives birth to a prince, then I privately believe that I should appoint him as a prince to stabilize the country."

"Although Queen Deshan is a foreigner, she is still the monarch of a country. Her bloodline is noble. She is united with the bloodline of my heavenly family, and the heir she gives birth to is fully qualified to become a prince."

In ancient times, bloodline was very important. Queen Deshan was a foreigner, but she was the monarch of Silla, and her bloodline was much nobler than that of Huyanrena.

After Li Gang, the Minister of Rites, opened his mouth, he immediately won the support of many ministers.

"Yes, I think what Mr. Li said is absolutely true."

"With the blood of the two monarchs and royal families, the heirs are qualified to become princes."

"I second the proposal."

……

Many ministers spoke in support.

Zheng Guanyin, who was sitting at the table, couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and left the table and said, "I don't agree with Mr. Li's opinion."

When Fang Xuanling spoke, everyone immediately looked at him.

Fang Xuanling was one of the most popular ministers in the emperor's recent history, and he was also the Minister of the Secretariat, so his weight was very important.

"What do you think, Mr. Fang?"

Li Gang slightly arched his hands and then asked.

Fang Xuanling said sternly: "Our Celestial Dynasty belongs to the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and Silla is just a small border country. How can we allow a prince of such a background to become the crown prince of our Tang Dynasty? Even if his maternal lineage is the monarch of Silla, he still does not change this fact."

"If Queen Deokshan and His Majesty's descendants are really allowed to inherit the throne, will the world in the future be the Tang Dynasty or the Silla Kingdom?"

As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of all the ministers changed. ..
