Chapter 74: Lichang or Lixian

The emperor ’s most taboo in choosing the prince is Mao Sui ’s self-recommendation and his unwillingness to let him down. The emperor's favorite is the kind and modest gentleman who has virtue and talent, and then has no intention of being a prince. This kind of person is not without, but most of them are in the private sector. It is really not difficult for you to choose such a person among the four princes.
Zhong Yehan thought for a while: "Well, do you want to let the fourth old man enter Beijing? I think about it and decide beforehand. How did you investigate the bribery case?"
Ximen Dehao gave a hand: "The emperor and the Crown Prince received a total of 25,000 bribes this time. The money was sent by Chen Li, the governor of Chenzhou, He Ya of Guangling, and the generals of several military camps. Move in their respective positions, all ... "
Zhong Yehan frowned very tightly: "This prince! If you say I abolish him, what will the ministers think?"
Simon Dehao bowed: "Emperor, this is your family matter, how can we outsiders intervene!" Simon Dehao is worthy of being an old fox. He is the oldest man of Zhongling Fu, the king of the oldest son. In order to collect the evidence of the crown prince ’s corruption, he can be said to have worked hard. Now the emperor asked him in person, he also pretended to be a modest gentleman. However, this trick is very good, at least Zhong Yehan relaxed his vigilance against him.
In fact, Simon Dehao has long joined the ranks of the crown princes. He also supported the prince at first, but later he saw that the prince was too ridiculous, so he changed to hold the thigh of the third prince Zhong Langfu. This is actually normal. Who does n’t want to plan for their own future, and sees the emperor ’s rivers going down, who does n’t want to find a strong backstage for themselves! However, this choice is also full of danger. If you make a mistake, not only will he die alone, but even his family will be affected, so be careful. The emperor asked him so bluntly, he had to be fair and selfless, and he could not let the emperor see a trace of flaws. If the emperor knew that I was the person of the third prince Zhong Langfu, the consequences would be quite serious.
Zhong Yehan waved his hand: "The emperor is selfless, although you said, no matter whether it is right or wrong, I will not blame!"
Simon Dehao knew the opportunity was coming. He wanted to say, but he couldn't say clearly: "Emperor, since the ancient dynasty, there are only two heirs. One is to establish a leader, and the other is to establish a virtue. It is easy to send Jiangshan to the hands of a faint monarch, so that Jiangshan Sheji will be destroyed by these dudes sooner or later; if there is a virtue, there is a problem, that is, the princes will fight for their lives and even maimed. It is entirely up to the emperor to establish a long standing and be virtuous. If the emperor is confident that he can perceive the truth and distinguish between loyalty and loyalty, then the second option can be taken. "
Simon Dehao said this very gently and sharply. He first pushed the decision to the emperor to make him invincible. The meaning in his words implied that the emperor should be a virtue. Simon Dehao is very good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts, that even the faint emperor would think that he is holy, let alone the enlightened and wise Zhong Yehan.
Zhong Yehan was so clever, he understood what Simon Dehao meant at once: "Okay! You sort out the specific number of bribes received by the prince and submit them directly. Officials who pay bribes should also write."
"Old Minister Zunyi!" Simon Dehao finished, gave Zhong Yehan a salute, and then retreated.
Simon Dehao just walked for a while, Prince Zhong Langyao pushed the door and walked in: "Children see father emperor!"
Zhong Yehan waved his hand: "Is there anything going on with you?"
Zhong Langyao took a discount from his arms: "This is the list of officials to be promoted by the children. Please check with the father and emperor."
Zhong Yehan took a look at it and wrote a lot of names on it. Several of the names are quite dazzling. For example, Li Sen in Chenzhou Prefecture and He Ya in Guangling Prefecture. Their names are on paper. Zhong Yehan put the performance on the table: "The promotion of officials mainly depends on the achievements of officials everywhere. Are the officials you wrote above all officials with achievements?"
Zhong Langyao nodded: "Yes! The son-in-law is done according to the wishes of his father and emperor. Chen Sen, the prefect of the state, Li Sen is an official and clean, and is praised as Li Qingtian by the local people. The embankment is stationed in the dam, and the flood has been cured for a hundred years.

Zhong Yehan listened more and more angry, if Simon Dehao did not tell me in advance, I was almost deceived by him: "Okay, let's put it here first, do you have anything else?"
Zhong Langyao's face expressed a hesitant smile: "Father Emperor, the son-in-law heard that the fourth brother is going back to Beijing?"
Zhong Yehan was stunned, and said that he was very quick news, I just received a break in the morning, he knew so quickly, can not bear it!
"Yes! Your fourth brother has this request. I'm still hesitating. Do you want him to come back? What do you think?"
Zhong Langyao chuckled: "Children think he should respect the meaning of his fourth brother. If he wants to come back, let him come back."
Zhong Yehan nodded: "That being said, but as soon as your fourth brother returns, who will take over from Marshal Zhennan?"
Zhong Langyao clenched his fist: "If you look at it, you can let the second brother go. Although the second brother is usually stubborn, but he also understands the military very well." Zhong Langyao gave Zhong Yehan a glance at the end and frowned when he saw his father. He quickly added, "If the father emperor is not at ease, he can let General Hu Dinghai go with him. The children have a feeling that in the future they will not be able to hand over the soldiers to those courtiers. If it were n’t for the fourth brother ’s accidental fight this time, I ’m afraid it ’s not that simple to take back the military power.

Zhong Yehan had long heard that Zhong Langxi was a prince, and now the prince came to recommend him. Zhong Yehan felt disgusted for a while, and said, prince, you are afraid that the military power of the 300,000 army will fall into the hands of others. Come here to grab power.
"Nanjiang's defense is extraordinary. Lang Xi is usually addicted to playing. I also heard it occasionally. Doesn't Prince recommend Lang Xi to feel too risky!" Zhong Yehan's complexion was ugly.
Zhong Langyao hurriedly argued: "Although the second brother is usually stubborn, but his brain is also very smart, as long as he goes through all the experience, he will definitely be in charge!"
Zhong Yehan patted the armrest of the chair: "Experience? This is a major event in the military. You think you have played a house. Lang Xi has a few pounds or two. I know better than you. Don't say anything about his affairs."
Zhong Langyao saw that Zhong Yehan was really angry. He was so scared that he knelt and knelt: "If the father emperor feels inappropriate, he will send someone else. The children are only recommending, and have no other meaning."
Zhong Yehan waved his hand: "You go down first! This matter is of great importance, and I have my own opinion after careful consideration."
"The courtier retired there!" Zhong Langyao wiped the sweat from his face and bowed his head.
As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, Zhong Langxi, the buddy and his second brother, could not wait to come over: "How is it? What did the father emperor say?"
Zhong Langyao shook his head and sighed: "You! Do not indulge in gambling in the usual time, you think the father emperor does not know, I just recommended you, but the father emperor scolded me, saying that the country's major events are playing, you look at you , For your virtue, I want to bring you a little.
