Chapter 318 Persuasion!

Chapter 338

"Uncle, do you really think that the eldest prince will be the new emperor in the future?"

Wang Chong suddenly said.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wang Gen's face suddenly changed.

"Chonger, what do you mean? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Wang Gen has always been friendly with Wang Chong, but when he heard Wang Chong's words, his face suddenly became serious:

"You are just saying this to me. If it spreads out, people will misunderstand and think that our Wang family has something on their minds. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

If Wang Chong's remark was heard and spread outside, there would be an earthquake outside immediately.

"Uncle, I know what I'm doing."

Wang Chong's expression was unexpectedly calm. He had always been full of respect for his uncle Wang Gen. The blood connection is unbroken.

What's more, the uncle often does it for the public rather than private, out of consideration for the interests of the Wang family. But Wang Chong couldn't, and couldn't agree with his uncle on the matter of the First Prince.

"...But uncle, have you ever thought about what the consequences of our royal family will be if the eldest prince fails to ascend the throne?"

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a heavy thunder falling, Wang Gen was stunned, showing a shocked expression. What will happen if the eldest prince fails to ascend the throne?

Wang Gen had never thought about such a thing. In other words, in Wang Gen's mind, this possibility never occurred to him.

"Chong'er, you are still too young. There are some things you still don't understand. Since ancient times, only the eldest prince is there, and the other princes have no hope. Besides, you don't understand the eldest prince like I do, Your Majesty Although he has not been canonized as the crown prince yet, what the eldest prince is doing now is no different from that of the prince. After a hundred years from His Majesty in the future, the eldest prince's ascension to the throne is basically a certainty."

"Whether this matter is internal or external, everyone's views are the same."

Wang Gen shook his head. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down. Although my nephew is smart, he is still far from powerful in court politics.

This kind of thing doesn't have to be smart, it must also have enough life experience and experience.

What Wang Chong said about the eldest prince not being able to ascend the throne,

In Wang Gen's view, it was completely impossible for him to happen.

"Uncle!"

Wang Chong shook his head:

"It doesn't matter that my nephew can listen to your opinion on other matters, but please forgive me that my nephew can't do anything about it. Uncle said that since ancient times, the elders have been established but not the young. This is true. But my nephew would like to ask, if the eldest prince He is really so good, if His Majesty really likes him, why doesn't His Majesty formally appoint him as the crown prince?"

Things in the court were turbulent, and the uncle thought that following the eldest prince would lead to glory and wealth, and he really took it for granted.

In the battle for the crown prince, any thought that is taken for granted is extremely dangerous.

"this"

Wang Gen's lips parted, and he froze for a moment.

His Majesty trusts the eldest prince, Wang Gen is quite sure of this. If not, he wouldn't have gone to seek refuge with the First Prince.

Wang Gen wanted to refute, but for a while he couldn't say anything to refute. Because what Wang Chong said is indeed true.

His Majesty loved the Eldest Prince very much, and sometimes even let him participate in the court. This is no different from the prince.

But the strange thing is that despite this, His Majesty did not canonize the eldest prince as the crown prince. It would be fine if the First Prince was young.

But now, the First Prince is quite old. Even Wang Gen finds this strange, but Wang Gen has never told anyone about it.

"Chong'er, the First Prince is His Majesty's eldest son after all. If His Majesty doesn't like him, he won't be allowed to participate in politics. Moreover, His Majesty has not canonized him now, but it doesn't mean that His Majesty won't canonize him in the future."

Wang Gen explained.

Frozen three feet did not happen in a day, the relationship between him and the First Prince was not forged overnight, but formed in a long process.

It is absolutely impossible for Wang Chong to change his impression of the First Prince with a few words and make him believe that His Majesty will not appoint a First Prince in the future.

"...Moreover, His Majesty is a wise and benevolent emperor, an emperor who has made great achievements through the ages. Do you think he will allow such a tragedy of human relations to happen in his hands?"

Wang Gendao, one sentence expressed the source of his confidence in the eldest prince's success in ascension.

Today's Holy Emperor is recognized by everyone inside and outside the government and the public. In his hands, Datang got rid of the danger of decline and chaos of his predecessor, thus reaching an unprecedented peak.

Whether it is territory or wealth, it far surpasses any dynasty, any king, and the Tang Dynasty even subdued the surrounding powers with only 600,000 to 700,000 elite troops, whether it was the Uzbek Empire, the East, or the West. The Turkic Khanate, Goguryeo, and the Mengshe Zhao must admit that the strength of the Tang Dynasty is well-deserved number one, far surpassing them.

Even the rebellious U-Tsang Empire deeply understands that the reason why they have been able to maintain a stalemate with the Tang Dynasty for so many years is the special location and altitude of the U-Tsang Plateau.

Datang could not adapt to the plateau environment and could not occupy the Uzbek Plateau. This is the real reason why the Uzbek Empire has nothing to fear.

Today's surrounding powers are no longer what they used to be after decades of development, but they still have a deep awe of the Tang Empire in the center.

And all of this comes from the current Holy Emperor!

Whether it is martial arts or martial arts, or courage, the current emperor has reached the limit that the emperors of all dynasties can achieve.

The current Datang is undoubtedly the most powerful era in history.

If it weren't for the respect of the sage kings of all dynasties in the history of China, the sage emperor would have been crowned the title of "the first emperor of all ages" long ago.

There were many times when Wang Gen was lucky that he was born in such an era and met such a wise king. For many people with a vengeful heart, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If Wang Gen believed that in the hands of such His Majesty, the tragedy of killing each other would happen, Wang Gen would never believe it anyway.

Seeing his uncle's serious and affirmative expression, Wang Chong felt heavy in his heart.

The uncle still doesn't know that he is on a road of no return. Your Majesty is indeed a wise man, but this has nothing to do with what the uncle asked him to do.

The uncle may not know that in the hands of the Holy Emperor, not only the tragedy of killing each other will happen, but also more things that the uncle will never expect in his life.

There are too many mysteries in it. Even as a person who has personally experienced it, there are many things that Wang Chong cannot understand, let alone Uncle Wang Gen.

But there is one thing that Wang Chong is certain of:

What the uncle is doing now is dragging the Wang family step by step into the most horrifying and most fearful dark abyss of all the families.

If uncle can't be stopped, no matter how glorious the current Wang family looks, the future will only be a flash in the pan, repeating the mistakes of the previous life again.

Since the uncle is still "obsessed with obsession", I can only find a way to wake him up. At least let him understand that his taking it for granted is extremely wrong.

"Uncle, do you really think that your majesty is a benevolent monarch, so that this kind of human tragedy of dragons and sons killing each other will not happen? No matter how wise the monarch is in all dynasties, he cannot control this kind of human tragedy."

"Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty ruled the Western Regions, conquered Jiaozhi in the south, and for the first time brought the forces of the Central Plains into the Western Frontier and Southern Borderlands. Princess Heyangshi gave a white silk to her death, implicated tens of thousands of officials, and countless aristocratic families were wiped out as a result."

"Prime Minister Gongsun He was in power at the time, claiming to have the blood of the Yellow Emperor. The Gongsun family was even a behemoth that stretched down from the Warring States Period, and was known as the number one Han at that time. In terms of power and status, it was difficult even when Grandpa was alive. However, because of the implicated In the event of Prince Jinli, he died and his family was wiped out, turning into scorched earth. Even since then, there has been no legend of the Gongsun family in the history of the Great Han Dynasty."

"Even if this kind of aristocratic family is like this for thousands of years, what does uncle think of our royal family?"

Wang Chong said in a deep voice, the fight for power has always been a fight between you and me, bloody killings, cold and cruel.

Even the prince and princess are just pawns on the chessboard, let alone a powerful family?

Although the Wang family has a special status in Datang because of their grandfather, it is still far from the status of the first family.

It is even more incomparable with those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years in history.

The uncle only knew that such disasters were not easy to occur in the hands of the holy emperor, but he didn't know that the more wise the emperor was, the more likely he would be implicated and smashed to pieces once a taboo was violated.

"Prince Fusu was the eldest son of the first emperor. According to the historical records, he was benevolent, insightful, and far-sighted. He was an extremely suitable candidate for the crown prince. Throughout his life, he has never made any major mistakes, and his moral conduct is even more benevolent. .”

"But when the first emperor of Qin Dynasty died, the crown prince Fusu was killed. At that time, he was known as the number one military general. The Meng family, the strongest in the Warring States period, was implicated and wiped out."

"Yao gave the throne to Shun, Shun gave the throne to Yu, and Yu gave the throne to Boyi. This is the ancient abdication system. As a result, Boyi was killed by Yu's son Qi, and Yu's ministers Zhao and Meng died at the same time."

"Uncle, which one of these people is not the wise emperor and overlord of Central Earth, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Qin Shihuang, Dayu? Prince Ju, Prince Fusu, and Boyi, who is not a person with good character and who can ascend to the throne?"

"Gongsun He, Gongsun Jing, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Zhao, Meng..., which of these people is not a famous minister with insight and praise. Which era is not a rare overlord in the world, but Who would have thought that even if such wise emperors as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shihuang, and Dayu were alive, there would be a situation where the crown prince would be abolished?"

"Nephew doesn't mean that there will definitely be any problems, but even if Han Wu, Qin Huang, and Dayu are alive, uncle dares to say that there will definitely be no problems in this dynasty?"

Wang Chong said in a deep voice. He had already said this quite euphemistically. He can't reveal too much about the future, this is the extreme.

No matter what uncle thinks, Wang Chong must find a way to wake him up. At least let him understand that there is nothing inevitable in this world.
