One day, the news that King Duan beats Grand Secretary Zhang spread like wildfire in the capital.
Grand Secretary Zhang has many students all over the world, and has a very respected status in Beijing. He was taught by him when he was young. Many officials from poor families voted for his exams before the imperial examination.
He is not only the gentleman of Emperor Chen, but also the gentleman of many great figures in the capital.
King Duan beats Mr. Duan is a thing that makes everyone despise. He is still the master who beats him, and even stabs the hornet's nest.
For a time, officials from Beijing jointly submitted a report, and the students and literati were indignant and asked His Majesty to punish him severely.
This is also the reason why Emperor Chen took such a heavy hand against King Duan yesterday. He beat the teacher. No matter how hard he is to wash this matter, it cannot be washed away, and it cannot be washed at all.
In order to calm this incident, Duan King prepared a generous gift. When his butt was smashed, he was supported to apologize.
Although this calmed down the situation, it still could not save the mistakes he made
A talentless emperor can become a qualified and successful monarch with the help of capable ministers and patriots in the court.
An unvirtuous emperor who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors could only cause trouble to the people and cause harm to the court. From this perspective, King Duan was not even as good as King Kang.
While King Duan has been constantly refreshing the bottom line, he has also lost the patience of court officials and people. After this incident, the voice of the deposed prince of Prince Duan has been heard among the people.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that among the three princes, King Huai is the most capable and has the best character. If the emperor can pass the throne to King Huai, wouldn’t it be much better than King Duan Kang?
Of course, this idea of the people is unrealistic to the real superiors.
Although it is up to His Majesty to decide who the throne falls, it cannot be passed to anyone at will.
King Kang and King Duan have identities and backgrounds, representing the interests of some people in the capital respectively. Princess Huai was born in the folk, and he had no power behind him. The power he held was given by His Majesty. When will His Majesty take it back, he has nothing to do.
The handover of the throne is actually a transfer or exchange of interests. How can those big figures in the upper class bring King Huai to the throne for their own interests?
There is no huge interest group behind it, and even Emperor Chen would not consider passing the throne to him. This invisible rule has not changed since ancient times.
If King Huai had made friends with powerful officials over the years and tied them to the same boat as him, he might have the qualifications to compete with King Kang Duan. But if King Huai really did this, he would not have come to this day safely. Perhaps he would have been eliminated by King Kang Duan long ago.
King Huai can't get this throne without fighting, nor can he get it even if he fights. There is no other choice except rebellion.
Even Runwang, who has not yet grown up, is more likely than him
Now, when considering the matter of the prince, Your Majesty is actually facing a very embarrassing situation.
As the eldest son, King Kang was disheartened and refused to accept the throne, and gave up the throne himself.
King Huai has a low status and is at most a prince in his life, not among the candidates.
King Duan has no talent and virtue, so he passed the throne to him. His Majesty has managed for decades and may be ruined in a short time. At that time, His Majesty may jump out of the imperial tomb in anger.
Even if he doesn't jump by himself, he can't guarantee that the invaders in the grassland or the Western Regions will not dig.
Think about it carefully, if Your Majesty is healthy and can live a few more years, it seems that it is a better choice to pass the throne to King Run.
King Run's mother comes from the Fang family. She is a top-ranking family in Beijing. She has countless nepotisms. She is nobler than King Huai in terms of identity, smarter than King Kang in terms of mind, and filial piety...
Who in the capital knows that King Run is not old and is filial to him?
Mr. Zhang praised Wang Conghui for his pleasure in learning more than once. He made soup for His Majesty himself every day, and it was often reported in the newspapers.
After careful consideration, the fourteen-year-old Runwang is no longer young. With His Majesty's physical condition, living for another five years will not be a problem. By then, wouldn't it be appropriate to pass the throne to Runwang?
When the three kings and the two kings compete for the throne, no one would consider the existence of King Run. However, now King Kang gave up, King Duan could not help him. The inconspicuous King Run, who hid in the corner, finally began to walk in front of others.

Zhao Yuan blinked, looked at Emperor Chen, and asked: Father, is it delicious?
Emperor Chen looked at him, and the clouds that arose because of King Duan gradually dissipated, and said with a smile: It's delicious, the soup made by Yuan'er is even better than the one made by the imperial chef.
Then can I leave the palace and give a bowl to the Grand Secretary? Zhao Yuandao: The Grand Secretary is injured, drinking soup is good for the health
Emperor Chen brought him over and asked him to sit on his lap, saying: Yuan'er's filial piety is commendable. I will send someone out of the palace to the Zhang family later, so you don't have to leave the palace in person.
OK, Zhao Yuan nodded and said in a little disappointed manner: Father, drink slowly, I'm going to study
No hurry, accompany your father again. Emperor Chen touched his head and raised his hand to find that King Run was sitting on his lap, which was already higher than him.
The father is old... He sighed, and then said with some relief: Yuan'er is about to grow up
Wei Jian looked at Runwang with a smile and said: I still remember that when His Highness Runwang was crawling around on the ground when he was a child, he became so big in a blink of an eye. In another two years, he will really grow up and become an adult.
It's Ah, my Yuan'er is about to grow up... Wei Jian's words made Emperor Chen fall into deep thought, and a light appeared in his eyes. At one moment, he looked at King Run and asked: Have Yuan'er ever thought about one day in the future, he would sit in his father's position?
Zhao Yuan said in confusion: I have sat on my father’s seat, where is my father’s seat?
Emperor Chen said: My father is tired and wants to take a break, but before his father rests, he needs to find someone who can help his father. Will Yuan'er be willing to help his father?
Zhao Yuan said without hesitation: Willing
Chen Huang said: But that would be very tiring
Zhao Yuan still said without hesitation: As long as he can help his father, I am willing to do it no matter how tired he is.
Chen Huang asked with a smile: What if he can’t leave the palace to play with his sister, the Wang family, the Zhang family, in the future?
Zhao Yuan frowned, thought for a while, and asked: Then can I take them into the palace?
Chen Huang looked at him and said: As long as you want
It doesn't matter whether they are picked up or not... Zhao Yuan wiped his saliva, smiled, and said: It's mainly to help the father...

Zhang Mansion
Grand Secretary Zhang has countless disciples in Beijing. He has been injured these days. The Zhang family visited the guests every day, and there were crowds of people.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhang family. Two officials who were about to enter saw the person who got off the carriage and immediately bowed and said: Have you seen Wang Xiang
Wang Xiang nodded slightly and walked slowly towards Zhang's mansion.
Although Wang Xiang and Grand Secretary Zhang are political enemies, they do not have any deep hatred. Grand Secretary Zhang is injured, so it is normal for him to visit him.
In the room, everyone saw Wang Xiang coming in and bowed out one after another.
Wang Xiang and Grand Secretary Zhang were at a strife as soon as they talked. If they had arguing, they would be in no way right for each other.
Wang Xiang looked at Grand Secretary Zhang on the hospital bed and asked: How is it?
Grand Secretary Zhang glanced at him and said: I can't die
Wang Xiang said: Your body is much better than me. If you start fighting, Duan Wang may not be your opponent. How could he be beaten by him?
I have done what I can do. Grand Secretary Zhang did not answer, looked at him and said: Next, it's your turn
