Zhi Xuan

After four days, Zhi Xuan finally appeared in the morning court.

Amidst the sound of rites and music, the officials filed into the hall and sat down on both sides.

Headed by Liuqing, followed by Shang Dafu, then Zhong Dafu, and finally Xia Dafu.

Today is a great dynasty, and both the civil and military courts of the Manchu dynasty are listed.From tomorrow, some middle and lower doctors do not need to attend, and the seats in the hall will be vacant.

Wearing a crown on his head, wearing a uniform and a sword at his waist, Zhixuan stepped into the hall and took his seat at the head of the officials.

The saber on his waist is very special, three feet and two inches long, the blade is sharp, cutting iron like mud.The scabbard is black, and the hilt is inlaid with colorful treasures. It was smelted by master craftsmen from Zhidi, and it is specially tailored for the monarch.

Since the princes of the world met outside the city of Zhongdu, the power of the king was divided, and the majesty of the sword given by the king was also weakened.Headed by the four princes, the princes, big and small, mostly wear iron swords or bronze swords of their own countries, and rarely wear swords given by the king.

This phenomenon was introduced to the capital city of China, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the situation was over, and they had fulfilled their obligations by participating in the performance once, but they were suppressed by the king, and they did not say a word.

The symbolic meaning of the sword bestowed by the king is extraordinary, and the princes of the world abandoned the sword, which is clearly a small capital in the underestimation.If you have a bad temper, you can't bear it, and you must send troops to crusade.

However, the reality does not allow.

It is not a certain country that abandons the sword. Headed by the four great princes, the kings of the big and small countries do not wear it or wear it less. It is rare to see the appearance of the sword given by the king on important occasions.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to send troops to crusade.With the strength of Zhongducheng, it is impossible to be an enemy to the princes of the world.

The position of the King of People does not remain the same for thousands of years.

The first generation Wang Dingding Central Plains relied on overthrowing the previous dynasty and integrating tribal forces.Pushing it backwards, regardless of sending troops, confronting the vassal states of the world is bound to arouse public anger.What will be the consequences?

Knowing this, the Zhongdu clan became silent, closing their mouths in a rare way.The Qing doctors did not impeach again and again, nor did they ask the king to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.

Sending out troops may not have a deterrent effect, and the more likely result is that they will be hit back, the majesty of the capital will be swept away, and the monarch and ministers will be pressed to the ground and rubbed together.

The power of the world has been tilted, and the indisputable facts are in front of you. If you don't believe it, you have to believe it, and if you don't bow your head, you have to bow your head.

Today's Zhongducheng is not as good as the king of people in the past, and has lost the majesty of commanding the world. Sending troops to crusade is the way to death, and dormant cooperation is the only way to survive.

The man Wang Huai knew this very well.

With Zhixuan's promise, he knows the way ahead.The Zhongdu clan is still reminiscing about the glory of the past, grasping the dignity and refusing to let go, he has already detached himself, and hastened to gather strength for the next development.

It is expected that the princes of the world will abandon the sword given by the king.

Seeing the ministers' memorabilia, Wang Huai was briefly complicated, and quickly sorted out his emotions, forgetting the words of impeachment.Picking up the letter from Zhixuan, unfolding the map that came with the letter, seeing the circled drawing on the map, his eyes glowed.

Before Zhi Xuan left Zhongdu City, he had a detailed discussion with Wang Huai.

Confidential to each other, Wang Huai, the man, is no longer a horny man, and is willing to relax his mind and open up together with the princes of the world.

Limiting the Central Plains is not a long-term solution.

Population development is inevitable, and the demand for land and food will increase.To meet this demand, outward expansion is the best way.

Zhi Xuan didn't talk too much, and didn't enumerate the deeper meaning, he just showed the reality to Wang Huai, so that the other party could see clearly the difference between limitations and development.

Furthermore, the clan is based on the family, and the desire for profit will never stop.

External development can relieve domestic pressure and ease clan disputes without bloodshed.No matter in the vassal state or the central capital, it is the only way to resolve conflicts and maintain internal peace.

Wang Huai knew that Zhi Xuan had something to say, but he didn't intend to go into it.

Given the current situation, Zhongducheng is not strong enough, and if there is no concession, it must be compromised.Instead of sitting in a sad city, it is better to take the initiative to accept the conditions and integrate the power of the royal family to develop outward.

The man Wang Huai had a clear idea, and his style of doing things changed, and he moved closer to the four princes.

Under his influence, the Zhongdu clan gradually understood that it was useless to confront the princes of the world. The king took the initiative to let go of his figure, so why should they hold on to it.

Inside the Central Plains, the central capital city and the feudal states have the power to compete. Once you go out and face an unfamiliar environment, you need to twist together and help each other in order to win more resources.

If you have enough resources and get enough benefits, you will have the confidence to fight against each other if there is friction in the future.Nowadays, dare to challenge the four great princes, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone, and it is boring.

The changes in Zhongdu City are obvious. The princes of the world have seen it and appreciated Wang Huai's courage.

But that's all.

Once the power is in their hands, it is impossible for them to give it up.

Wang Huai knew it well, and so did the Zhongdu clan.

Abandoning the struggle for power with the vassal states, the Zhongdu clan began to care about another matter, which was the issue of Wang Huai's successor.

The man Wang Huai has both sons and daughters, the prince and daughter are descendants of the concubine, and the princes are all descendants of the concubine.

The queen is still young, so she may not be able to give birth to a prince in the future.Even if there is no direct prince, the princess can still inherit the throne, the clan shouldn't be so anxious.

The problem is that Wang Huai's harem seems simple but extremely complicated, and Yuan Tao is the biggest variable.

The strength of Xi Yuanhou is obvious to all.Yuan Tao has no children now, once she gives birth in the future, will she intend to fight for it?

The clans hope that Wang Huai will establish an heir early, but they don't want any accidents to happen in the future. Their ideas are extremely contradictory, but there is no solution to the problem.

Here, Wang Huai sees it, and so does the Queen and Yuan Tao.

Yuan Tao has no intention of giving birth to a child, and several concubines advance and retreat with her.If they hadn't taken the initiative to stay, with Zhi Xuan's tyranny, it would have been a breeze to bring his sister back to the country, and no one would dare to stop her.

It's a pity that the Zhongdu clan didn't know Yuan Tao's thoughts, and they were contradictory when it came to registering an heir.

The queen has no intention of reproducing a prince, nor does she want her daughter to be the heir.

Not long after the canonization, she made it clear to Yuan Tao that she hoped to arrange a marriage for her daughter. The marriage partner should preferably be from the Yuan family, and An's family is also acceptable.

As a princess, the status of a marriage partner has certain requirements.

Marrying into the Yuan family, the husband must be the heir of Zhixuan; marrying with the An family, the son of the son of the eldest son is the only object.

Yuan Tao understood the queen's intentions and wrote to Zhi Xuan directly.

Unbeknownst to Wang Huai, the queen was single-mindedly choosing a husband for her daughter, spending a lot of money on preparing the dowry, and abandoning the position of the prince as if it were a waste of money.

The queen and Yuan Tao took the initiative to leave the game. Logically, a concubine with a son should be full of joy.

The fact is exactly the opposite. Seeing the arrangement of the two, the concubines have a lot of thoughts, and suddenly feel that the crown prince is a hot potato.

With the status of Zhongdu City today, not to mention the prince, the king is only a symbolic meaning.Rather than being a puppet in name only, it is far better to go out and win a fief on your own.

If your own family is not strong, you can look for in-laws.

The Zhongducheng clan is not enough to look at, so it can develop outward and marry with the princes.

It doesn't matter if a woman from a big clan can't get married, there are many sons in the clan, and there are not many outstanding ones.My own son can't do anything else, his looks are first-class and better-looking, so he can prepare a dowry to marry off.

The Marquis of Xiyuan and the Marquis of Nanzhao set a precedent, and those who have no restrictions on etiquette can do so.

The queen is close to the water, and she locked her marriage partner early. She was a step behind and had to catch up.Whoever likes to sit in the crown prince's position, their sons are not so lucky, thank you for not being sensitive.

Waiting for Wang Huai to discover the truth, the so-called family harmony has other reasons, and the sadness and helplessness can be imagined.

Unable to choose and no one to choose are two completely different concepts.

The official historian faithfully recorded everything, and specially recorded Wang Huai's sighs.

Relevant historical facts have been handed down to later generations. In view of the Spring and Autumn writing style, it is another unsolved mystery that makes historians scratch their heads.

Like Wang Huai, Zhi Xuan also faced the problem of heirs.

However, he had something to say first, and set a period of ten years.

In these ten years, the competition can be fierce, and it doesn't matter if it becomes fierce.If you want to surpass your opponents, you must rely on real talents and real learning.Dare to resort to conspiracy and deceit, Yuan Yi's fate is a precedent.

With this premise, Zhi Xuan didn't worry about heirs, and the domestic clans didn't rush to stand in line.

The monarch is wise and wise, with outstanding military exploits, and the big and small clans know how to measure and consider for the family. It is meaningless to stand in line at this time.

Above the early dynasty, the clans paid more attention to another thing, the vacant position.

After Yang Hao's death, the position has been vacant.

There are currently three competing. In terms of family strength and personal qualifications, the three are on equal footing, so it is difficult to tell the winner.

Su Hu and others did not show up, and maintained a neutral attitude, not favoring any family, and the final decision rested in the hands of the monarch.

The matter has been delayed until today, and it cannot be delayed any longer.

The news of the exploration team came back one after another, and the clans couldn't wait to go out.The struggle for the throne must come to an end, and no more energy should be involved.

Zhao Hao is well aware of the power of the Liuqing, and is also very curious about who Zhixuan prefers.

Zhi Xuan has always remained mysterious, and has not revealed it to the outside world.It wasn't until this morning that the ministers requested that the matter could not be delayed any longer, and he announced the decree in public to finalize the final candidate.

"Luo Fei."

As soon as the name came out, there was an uproar all over the court.

The Patriarch of the Luo family was originally enjoying the show, but suddenly he was declared to be the protagonist, and his pale face was full of astonishment.

Looking up at Zhi Xuan from his position, his eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't believe it at all.

The Luo clan is not a native clan of the Xiyuan Kingdom, but they came to vote with their clan when Father Zhixuan was in charge.

At that time, the Xiyuan Kingdom and the Bei'an Kingdom were at war, and the two countries fought fiercely. The border cities fought several times, but in the end they shook hands and made peace.

In this war, the two behemoths were a little injured, and the small country on the border was devastated. It was affected by the flames of war, and the ten fingers that perished were beyond count.

Luo Fei's home country is one of the unlucky ones.

The monarch at that time was Luo Fei's uncle. When he found out that something was wrong, he discussed with Luo Fei's father and decided that it would be better to take the initiative to defect to Luo Fei than to be beaten.

Standing in front of the house was Bei'an Kingdom. Once they collected their burdens, the whole family went to join Xiyuan Kingdom.

Luo Fei's uncle had no legitimate son, so he was adopted and raised as the heir of the family.

The family style of the Luo family is similar to that of the Ji family. After defecting to the Xiyuan Kingdom, he specialized in practical affairs. When encountering disputes, he is more Buddhist, and rarely conflicts with others.

The two generations of the family are very satisfied with the position of the doctor, and they don't even think about going further.

Unexpectedly, the king of the country made a fortune, and Luo Fei was promoted to the official rank, and directly ascended to the position of minister.

Prior to this, the Xiyuan Kingdom's position was dominated by the local big clan.

Luo Gong was born in Dongliang, and came to Xiyuan Kingdom with Mrs. Liang, and took root in the land for more than [-] years. He was loyal to Zhixuan and made great contributions.It is not too much to appoint him as a minister, and the clans can turn a blind eye.

Luo Fei is a real foreign clan, let him be a minister?

Since the establishment of Xiyuan Kingdom, there has never been such a precedent!

No one could have imagined that what Zhi Xuan wanted was unprecedented.

Native clans, emerging clans, and foreign clans all must have channels to rise in Xiyuan Kingdom.Only in this way can the forces be integrated and the Xiyuan Kingdom flourish.

Eclectic promotion of talents, so that more people see hope, can unite people, and the chariot of Xiyuan Kingdom can gallop forward, no matter what kind of enemy they face, they can dominate the battlefield!
