It won't be long before the empire that our ancestors fought for with so much blood may not be preserved. The throne of the Emperor deserves to be occupied by a capable person! Not to mention that when Emperor Taizu passed away, wasn't his successor also the younger brother of Emperor Taizong?

!”

The old man knew that Ye Yichen wanted to be the emperor. But like today, it was the first time that Ye Yichen spoke so clearly. Ye Yichen said every word: "If the situation really develops to that point, I think

I know your attitude!"

A flash of light flashed in the old man's eyes: "I also want to ask, how sure is the prince?"

Ye Yichen thought for a while and slowly stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty percent certainty is not bad. If...with the prince's prestige and strength, I'm afraid the chance of success will be greater by then!" What the old man wanted to say was "if the current emperor dies", but it's not easy to say this to him.

He didn't want to speak, so he just said it vaguely. Ye Yichen naturally understood. He also thought so in his heart.

Although the old man has resigned, he is a veteran of three dynasties and has countless disciples. His invisible strength in the court is unfathomable. Ye Yichen's shortcoming in both civil and military skills is literature. If he gets the support of the old man, his chances of seizing the throne will be greatly increased.

Increase.

The old man twirled his beard and pondered for a moment. He did not speak, and Ye Yichen did not urge him. The old man sighed and finally said: "In terms of talent and ability, none of the three princes today can compare with the prince. This is an indisputable fact.

, but in my opinion, the governance of the world has never relied on the emperor alone, but has to rely on officials of all sizes in the court and the entire civil service group!" In other words, although the emperor's role is great, it is not so great that it cannot be ruled out.

replace!

As soon as he started speaking, Ye Yichen knew his attitude, and his face could not help but condense slightly.

The old man continued: "I have always hoped that Dachu would learn from the political experience of the previous dynasty. I have also written to Taizong and the current emperor many times, hoping that the court will adopt the method of primogeniture to establish the crown prince! I also know that this method may not be an option.

The most suitable emperor can ensure long-term stability of the country. The reason why the previous dynasty was able to last for more than three hundred years and remain relatively stable internally is because of this good system!"

Whether to establish a leader or a virtuous person, this matter has been experienced a lot in the past dynasties, and Ye Yichen has also thought about it. The old lady agreed with this view. Back then, the Queen Mother wanted to fix this system and ensure the long-term peace and stability of Chu, so

Only then would he support Ye Minshu to become the prince.

The old man said sternly: "If the prince succeeds this time, it may make Da Chu prosperous in thirty or even fifty years, but you will lay a hidden danger for Da Chu. If after a few years, there will be no more people in the royal family."

Would a talented and intelligent person like you rise up and take the supreme position into your own hands like you?

With such a good example like you in front of me, wouldn’t the internal fighting between the royal families never end? How can the common people live a good life? When Emperor Taizong suddenly ascended the throne, the Shu Han Dynasty became bigger, and the Chu Dynasty lost its unity.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you really succeed this time, I don’t know what you will bring to Da Chu.”

Ye Yichen's eyes flashed with sternness and he said: "It's because he didn't get the throne first! I'm just getting back what I deserve!" Of course he was referring to Emperor Taizong.

The old man looked at Ye Yichen indifferently and pointed out mercilessly: "The prince probably also understood in his heart that Taizu had more than a dozen princes back then. You are neither the direct descendant nor the eldest son, and you are too young. Even if Taizong did not ascend the throne,

I’m afraid it won’t be your turn to take that position!”

Ye Yi was suddenly speechless.

What the old man said is true!

"Whether it is Taizong or Taizu's son, his surname is always Ye!" The old man said slowly: "It has been so long now. If I were you, I would be like a Duke of Zhou. Now the country has just recovered a little.

If the vitality continues to be chaotic, I am afraid it will give the Shu Han an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Ye Yichen sighed. Before he came, he had thought that the old man would reject him, but he did not expect that the old man would reject him so simply. If he ascended the throne and became emperor, the Yang family would definitely follow suit, but after all, the old man was not a person who completely pursued the best interests.

A modern politician, he is a true politician, and he has his own principles that he needs to uphold.

His political philosophy will never change easily.

Thinking of this, Ye Yichen suddenly became calm and felt that his small package of "Da Hong Pao" was not sent to the wrong person. If the old lady really agreed, he would look down on the old lady.

He suddenly laughed: "You have your principles, and I also have my position. No matter what happens to this matter, I will always have to give it a try before I am willing to accept it!"

"I hope the prince will not regret it in the future!" The old man nodded, knowing that he could not persuade the prince, so he did not waste any words.

Ye Yichen said: "We can't reach an agreement on this matter, but I think everyone's interests are still the same in keeping the deposed prince alive."

The old man smiled and said: "This is natural. The deposed prince is also my grandson-in-law. If he died like this, wouldn't Xin'er have to be a widow for half her life? That would be too pitiful!"

The reason why Ye Yichen wanted to keep the prince was very simple. He wanted the deposed prince to contain King Zhao and prevent his power from expanding too quickly.

The old man smiled and said: "It's not too difficult to save the prince's life. As long as the prince leaks the memorial and lets everyone know about it, there will be great potential."

"That's what I have in mind, and I would like you to say a few words in front of the emperor when the time comes!"

The old man smiled and said: "Even if I don't say anything then, I'm afraid the emperor will have to save the life of the deposed prince."

The two people looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite sympathetic to each other.

On the carriage home, Ye Yichen opened his eyes and looked at the gorgeous colorful textures on the roof. He was still immersed in the conversation with the old man and didn't say a word for a long time.

Yu Lan was left out for a long time, and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes, "Your Majesty! What are you thinking about?"

Ye Yichen stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, put his nose close to her thick black hair, and smelled the fragrance of her hair. After a while, he said: "If I say that I want to sit on that chair in the Forbidden City, will you support it?"

I?"

Although Yulan had known for a long time that he had such thoughts, she was still startled when he asked him like this. After thinking about it, she asked feebly: "My lord, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"What is a lie? What is the truth?"

"If it's a lie, of course, no matter what the prince does, I will support him with both hands! To be honest, I think it's fine now. Why would the prince risk everything for that chair? In my opinion, sitting in that position
