Chapter 429 Father has lived too long!
Gua Gua: [Because at that time Qin You knew that the late emperor had issued a secret decree, establishing the fourth prince as emperor.
And by that time, the late emperor didn't have much time left.
This edict represents more of the candidate preferred by the late emperor. He is of legitimate status and can naturally ascend the throne as emperor.
The eldest prince has more power and connections than the fourth prince.
But since the late emperor had issued this imperial decree, it meant that he would remove all obstacles for the Fourth Prince.
Qin You felt that he had to get off this pirate ship as soon as possible.
If you continue to rely on the eldest prince, you will be liquidated in the future.
If he abandons his evil ways and joins the Fourth Prince, when he ascends the throne, even though he won't have any outstanding achievements in following the emperor, it will be worth it if he can continue to maintain his position! 】
Shen Zhao seemed to be thinking: [Indeed, the emperor’s will emphasizes orthodoxy.
He just wants the Fourth Prince to ascend the throne. If you, his subjects, are unwilling, you would be betraying your emperor.
Such a big hat will even make your bad reputation recorded in history, so most officials will act according to the late emperor's will.
It makes sense for Qin Youneng to make this choice.
Then why didn’t the fourth prince ascend the throne later?
Could it be that the eldest prince usurped the throne? 】
Gua Gua: [Host, the late emperor was a monarch with great power.
The ministers in the court said that they wanted to serve one of the two princes, but in fact they all obeyed the edict of the late emperor.
Even if the late emperor ordered them to turn their guns against the masters they secretly served, they had to grit their teeth and do it.
It is because of the late emperor’s great power that all authority lies in one person.
The eldest prince's rebellion will definitely fail.
It will only result in people losing their lives in vain.
Qin You knew about this will, so the eldest prince's true confidants naturally had a chance to know about it. 】
Shen Zhao complained, "The late emperor left a will, and everyone knows about it.
This confidentiality work was done too easily.
If someone wants to change this will, is it possible if they try hard? 】
Guagua: [In fact, this edict was just a trap set by the late emperor.
In his private message, he wanted his fourth son to ascend the throne.
But in fact, it would be more logical and convincing for the eldest son to ascend the throne.
The eldest prince's own talent is also superior to that of the fourth prince.
In this way, reason and emotion jump back and forth.
But the late emperor was also an emperor, and he was very decisive when it came time to make decisions.
Thus, this will came into being.
If the eldest prince takes this opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate, he can be deposed at the same time.
If there is no forcing of the emperor to abdicate, and the fourth son does not take any action, then he will let the fourth son ascend the throne! 】
Shen Zhao: [Guagua, I don’t understand.
The Fourth Prince has been enthroned, so why did the late Emperor still think that the Fourth Prince would take action? 】
Others were also curious. The throne was within reach, so what else needed to be done?
There is no need for that at all. If it were them, they would show their final filial piety to the late emperor and let him pass away peacefully!
Guagua: [Because this kind of situation has happened in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A wise ruler does indeed leave a will.
All the ministers knew about it.
This means that as soon as the wise ruler passes away, the ministers will support the prince to ascend the throne.
But within less than a year, this prince chose to rebel after only half a year.
He wanted to kill the king and his father, and was finally imprisoned in the cold palace for life, and could not leave without the emperor's order! 】
Shen Zhao: [Guagua, so what is the reason why these people choose to rebel? ]
Guagua: [It’s simple. These people just think their fathers lived too long.]
Shen Zhao: [Ha, what do you mean?
Guagua, please explain it more clearly. 】
