There was chaos in the court of Changchun Fairyland. The sudden change had made everyone completely confused.
The greatest supporter of Changchun Fairyland, Quasi-Sage Huangchu, was killed. This is a truly earth-shattering event. Didn't you see that even the heavens were 'crying'
"Be quiet!" At the critical moment, Prime Minister Luo Zhichao got angry.
Everyone fell silent instantly, all looking at the prime minister eagerly, waiting for an explanation.
The prime minister glanced around and snorted, "What can you achieve by arguing like this! The most urgent matter now is not compensation, nor the death of the quasi-saint, but... the king! It is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, this is the most urgent matter."
Everyone was stunned, and then they kept silent. In fact, all the people present were elites, so how could they not think of the king's problem? The reason why no one said anything was because - in a monarchical centralized environment, it was the most dangerous thing for a minister to think about the king's position, because it was a political taboo!
Since ancient times, no matter if one has good intentions or bad intentions, if one dares to set his sights on the position of king, something bad will happen sooner or later. The most serious punishment is to execute the entire clan, and usually the property will be confiscated and the person will be expelled. The best outcome is to voluntarily retire, and generally there will be no hope of serving in the court within three generations.
This price is too heavy. He did good things and saved the country, but in the end he had to risk the death of his entire clan - even if it was the best, there would be no reward!
Therefore, only a fool would point out this problem. And now, such a fool has really stood up!
Therefore, many people now look at the prime minister with a 'joking' eye - now Changchun Fairyland has a very thorny problem, that is, His Majesty has no offspring! Not to mention the prince, there is not even a princess. But there are two brothers:
The second prince Jing: Huang Changhe;
The third wise king: Huang Changfeng.
The two brothers were not much older than each other, and they were far away from each other. In order to prevent disputes over the throne and to maintain the stability of the country, the two kings were sent to the border area, and it was a place that did not have a direct teleportation array to the emperor. In short, if you want to invite the two kings back, it will take at least two days to go back and forth.
But we know that when a king travels, especially when it involves the fight for the throne, a large army must be mobilized, and it will take at least five or six days to arrive in the imperial capital.
Everyone understands these problems, but they are all "smart" enough not to speak them out. Now that a fool has come out, everyone immediately looks at him and asks: What are you going to do
Under everyone's attention, Prime Minister Luo Zhichao said: "I suggest that the Queen attend court during the period of the emperor's visit, and the three ministers take charge of the government affairs, and we will assist them."
"Three Dukes?" The commander of the Imperial Guards, Wang Fengxian, frowned immediately. "Prime Minister, please forgive me for being blunt, but haven't the Three Dukes of our country... retired?"
In fact, Wang Fengxian wanted to say that the positions of the Three Dukes in our country have long been in name only. Although there are people holding the positions, Wang Fengxian thought about it and didn't even know the names of the current Three Dukes... Isn't that ridiculous? But this is the politics of Changchun Fairyland! A long time ago, the positions of the Three Dukes gradually faded out of the political stage. The Emperor of Heaven would confer the title of the Three Dukes to someone who had made a particularly great contribution, and then... put it aside.
