Chapter 1126 Brother's death and succession to his younger brother

Chapter 1126 Brother's death and succession to his younger brother

After a moment of shock and astonishment, Gao Yan hurriedly bowed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare, I don't dare... The prince is your majesty's closest relative and flesh and blood, and the crown prince of the country. His title is fixed and cannot be changed! I , My wish is only to help my family and country, I dare not have any other plans, please be clear to me!"

When Gao Yang heard Gao Yan's answer, a rather playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He immediately looked at Gao Yan and said: "So, you also think that the national industry should be inherited by the prince. If that is the case, it doesn't matter." Feeling resentful?"

Gao Yan frowned slightly after hearing this, and after a moment he lowered his head and said, "Father's inheritance is inherited by his son, and the principles of the world are the same. How can there be any doubt in this matter? Although I and Your Majesty are both close relatives, we are still more flesh and blood than flesh and blood." There is a slight difference. Besides, your Majesty has already appointed the successor, so I dare not have any different ideas!"

After hearing this, Gao Yang chuckled again, then turned to Gao Zhan who was kneeling on the other side and said with a smile, "Do you have any objections?"

"No, no... I have no objection, absolutely no objection!"

When Gao Zhan heard this, he shook his head like a rattle in a hurry, not daring to show any objection at all. Regardless of whether the father-to-son inheritance or the brother-to-brother relationship has nothing to do with him, it would be really unjust if he were to be punished for this again!

However, Gao Yang's main focus today was to make shocking remarks. After hearing the two people's statements, he smiled and said: "Yes, you two really want to do your best for your country, so how could you not think of resisting this heavy burden?" What about my own shoulders? When the country is in trouble, it is necessary to rely on the elder. Wen Xiang died in a disaster last year, and I also stepped in as a replacement. Now the country is facing internal and external troubles. How can my son be the heir? "

Seeing that the emperor continued to be entangled in this topic, it seemed that it was not just talk, Gao Zhan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, while Gao Yan on the other side was like a thorn in the back, and his heartbeat had not slowed down since he entered the hall. At this moment, I was even more nervous and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

He knew that the more the emperor bothered with this issue, the more he cared about it. If he responded slightly inappropriately, he might be severely punished. These words were not so much encouraging them as allowing them to sum up the reasons why they should not be brothers. We must force them to recognize this clearly and stop harboring illusions.

Gao Yan and his subordinates had not rehearsed such a scenario before, nor had they considered it at all. At this moment, he needed to react on the spot by himself.

After some weighing and thinking, he faced the emperor's already somewhat aggressive gaze and continued to lower his head and said: "How can the situation be the same as it is now? Back then, the destiny was not changed and the position was not determined. Wen Xiang was clumsy in finding a career, so that He died suddenly in an accident, and even brought disaster to his family. A little carelessness will lead to eternal disaster.

But His Majesty was not afraid of the dangerous situation, stood up resolutely, united the superiors and subordinates, and initiated the revolution, and thus became the foundation of the Qi family today. This is a towering achievement! The ministers, under the protection of this merit, have been able to save their lives and enjoy double the glory. Now they are enjoying great kindness. If they still dare to have other plans, how are they any different from animals? "

After Gao Yang heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Without ceremony, please get up and take your seat. The tea here is handmade by eminent monks. It is refreshing and long-lasting, and the taste is not inferior to fine wine."

Hearing what the emperor said, Gao Yancai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally surviving this test and torture.

But he still did not dare to take it lightly. It should be noted that the emperor's health had been in danger before, and Gao had known about it for a long time. Now that he has experienced another defeat, he has been living in Ganlu Temple in Liaoyang after withdrawing from the front line, refusing to return to Jinyang and not going to Yedu. It is really unpredictable.

Now that the emperor has recruited their brothers to Liaoyang, he has repeatedly raised concerns about the issue of heirs. The danger is several times higher than usual. If you are careless, you may die on the spot. You need to be extremely alert and deal with it carefully. In fact, You can't relax.

Gao Zhan, who was sitting together, still had some unfinished thoughts. He wanted to see the two brothers continue to discuss such a sensitive and dangerous topic. Gao Yan's statement could not convince him anyway. Whoever caused the instigation had nothing to do with it? Since the emperor rose to power based on this, why can't other brothers?

Of course, even if the matter was finalized, it wouldn't be his turn yet, so he only had a few thoughts in his mind and didn't dare to speak out directly, lest he get burned.

Next, Gao Yang thoroughly satisfied Gao Zhan. Although he allowed the two of them to sit down without courtesy, he did not end the discussion on this topic, and further drew Gao Zhan in.

"It is true that father's inheritance should be inherited by sons, but it is also possible for brothers to succeed brothers. However, the latter often cause chaos due to selfish motives, so they are not recommended by the world."

When Gao Yang said this, he sighed and said: "Although I have created this country, I am not obsessed with passing on the throne. Who is chosen as the heir depends on the talent of the person. The reason why I established the heir early is that It's just a way to calm the hearts of the people. But if it is really entrusted to someone, it will harm more than one family. It is okay for me to pass on the throne, but if you want to pass it on to your descendants in the future, it is still a priority. And Ah Jiu?”

"Uh, I...I never dared to think this, and I never thought so!"

Gao Zhan was just watching the fun, but after hearing this, he suddenly became uneasy. He shook his head and waved his hands, but his eyes turned to Gao Yan, wanting to hear his answer.

When Gao Yan heard that the emperor still refused to give up entangled with this topic, and had a tendency to expand the scope of the discussion, he was very angry in his heart, but naturally he did not dare to show it on the surface, so he could only lower his head and said: "My lord, This matter has never been taken into consideration. Your Majesty is now asking the question, and for a moment he doesn't know how to answer it. The succession of the country is a fundamental matter of the country, and it only depends on the emperor. Anyone who dares to discuss it will be punished by death. road!"

Although Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, Gao Zhan couldn't help but frown slightly. No matter whether this answer was appropriate or not, it was not the answer he wanted to hear. I asked you whether you passed it on to your son or your younger brother. What do you mean if you have some of these things or not?

After repeatedly questioning Gao Yan, Gao Yang seemed to have finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath, then looked at Gao Yan seriously and said: "What I said to my brother today is not to test people's hearts. Sinister words.

The country is currently in trouble. The Qiang thieves are powerful and pressing every step of the way. Even I was defeated by them. The prince's qualifications are weak and he is probably no enemy of the Qiang thieves. Instead of secretly passing the artifacts to one family and causing the ancestral temple to collapse, it is better to choose a better choice to ward off the strong bandits.

But brothers are both older than they are young, so even if they express their heartfelt words, they may not be able to penetrate people's hearts. Now I need my brother to do something for me. After it is done, I will tell everyone inside and outside that you will be my successor..."

"Your Majesty has an order, and I will not give up even if I die! Please take back your words. I dare not make such an unreasonable thought under any circumstances!"

Gao Yan stood up from his seat and said in a deep voice in the worship hall.

"It doesn't require you to risk your life. You just have to be patient with others."

Gao Yang looked at the impeccable performance, which was still responding to him, and continued: "The battle with the thieves was unfavorable and the country was damaged, and now I am lingering on the sick bed and entangled with weak energy. It is all caused by the evil influence of the country. There is a scholar in front of me looking at the sky. Qi, tell us that our country's power is declining, and we need to hurt noble people to stop it.

Now that Zhu Yuan is still in the country, it must be due to what Zhan Yan calls the evil spirit that harms the country and me. Please return to the capital and kill all the Yuan Dynasties for me. Kill them in disgust, so as to break the old hope of the remaining people and not to cause future troubles or even harm our country! "

When Gao Yan heard this, he immediately frowned. He didn't expect that the emperor would arrange such an errand for him. Even though he subconsciously wanted to refuse, he said in a deep voice: "The words of the alchemist are neither classic nor classic. , I am afraid that making this dissent is just for the sake of sensationalism. If the survivors of the former Yuan Dynasty are rashly punished because of this, I am afraid that the current judgment cannot be fair..."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Yang's angry slap on the table. Then Gao Yang raised his halberd and pointed at the person and said angrily: "Are you saying that I have been deceived by the alchemist? Or maybe our country Luck and safety are not as important as the lives of various elements?"

"I don't dare, it's just, it's just that the Yuan clan has been doing their duty in recent years, and there has been no..."

When Gao Yan saw this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly bowed to the ground and said in a trembling voice.

Gao Yang didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation. Instead, he looked at Gao Zhan and asked, "Are you willing to accept this?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has your orders, I dare not disobey you! But, it's just that the sixth brother's father-in-law's family is also a member of the Yuan clan. Shouldn't we be more generous?"

After hearing this, Gao Zhan hurriedly stood up and said, looking at Gao Yan with concern as he spoke.

After Gao Yang heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed even deeper, and then he pointed at Gao Yan and said angrily: "You have to do this! If you still refuse to do it, don't blame the emperor for being ruthless!"

"My lord, my lord, take your orders!"

After hearing this, Gao Yan could only pause his head on the ground and replied in a harsh voice.

When Gao Zhan on the side saw this scene, a smile of schadenfreude suddenly appeared on his lips. He didn't mean to harm Gao Yan intentionally, but it was just his character. He was happy to see others get upset because of things that had little to do with his own interests.

However, Gao Yang then pointed at Gao Zhan and said: "Gao Dezheng had many wild and rebellious behaviors before, and he was not punished because he remembered his old merits. However, in recent years, this disciple has become more and more absurd and unruly. After you return to the capital, you will temporarily take over If the Yushitai is responsible for investigating the crime of this disciple, if he really violates the law and deserves death, there is no need to pity him!"

"I accept your order!"

Gao Zhan heard that there was still a task assigned to him, so he quickly nodded in agreement, and then glanced at Gao Yan with satisfaction. The task of judging Gao Dezheng was naturally much easier than killing Zhu Yuan. Moreover, Gao Yan had previously planned to win over Gao Dezheng and replace himself as the governor of Jizhou. Although the plan failed in the end, it did not prevent Gao Zhan from taking the opportunity to retaliate against the opponent.
