Chapter 1478 Crown Prince
San Francisco Harbor.
A deep mournful sound came from the bell tower of the pier, and a group of Luzon Banzhi Guards galloped to the pier, announcing a sad news to everyone.
The king died.
The whole country mourns.
Businessmen and laborers on the pier were all stunned on the spot when they heard the news, and then took off their hats one by one to express their condolences.
Although the new king has only been in power for one month, everyone has no bad impression of him. This king, who is called the sleepy king by college students in San Francisco, has been the son of the Luzon prince for more than 30 years, and he still has a good reputation.
As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he added a lot of rewards. Even the laborers on the pier got some real rewards of rice and noodles.
Some people even thought that Ban Zhijinwei had passed the wrong news, maybe the old King Qin Taishi was gone.
I thought it was the beginning of a new era, but it ended before it even started.
Empire.
Qin Lang came out from the apse, and the palace servants were cleaning up Qin Yu's remains.
"Dalang, I made a mistake before, and now I don't want to make a second mistake. I want to hand over the throne of Luzon to you."
Qin Jun stood in front of his father with a straight face, his back straight.
"Aye, you are making a mistake now!"
Qin Yu had been the king for a month, and he passed away suddenly, so the Luzon throne would naturally be inherited by his sons. If there is a heir, there will be a heir, and if there is no heir, there will be an elder, so it is impossible to pass it on to his brothers.
Only the father dies and the son succeeds, there is no reason for the brother to end up with the younger brother.
If Qin Lang started this way, he would be very wrong. If Qin Lang insisted on setting up the eldest son before, it would be reasonable to say that the eldest son is more virtuous, but now that he has already established a direct line, and now wants to establish a concubine, this is disorderly life.
Once this head is opened, the Luzon throne will be passed on in the future, and I am afraid that there will be no more peace.
"Is Aye going to kill Xiao Gong?" Qin Jun asked.
"Xiaogong can be named the king of Dongsheng, go to Dongsheng Prefecture, you change positions."
"No, son refuses."
Qin Jun unceremoniously rejected his father's proposal.
"Dalang, Luzon is not only my hard work, but also your hard work. Can you see Luzon in danger?"
"Aye, Luzon will be fine. After Eleven Lang succeeded to the throne, Luzon behaved like that, but isn't Luzon also functioning as usual? It is no different from when my father was in power."
"All of this is thanks to the Luzon system established by Aye. With Liucao, the cabinet, and the Knights' Academy, even if Luzon cannot produce another saint like Aye, there will be no problems. Filial piety Gong is only twenty-nine years old, he is still very young, and his behavior is relatively stable. I believe that after he succeeds to the throne, he will definitely make the future of Luzon better."
"Are you really going to refuse?"
"Aye, I will be seventy years old soon, and I might not be able to wake up one day, besides, what qualifications do I have to inherit the throne?" Qin Jun shook his head, "Actually, since Aye has already abdicated, why bother?" What's the point? Let's develop according to the normal track. If Aye still has to control everything, then what's the point of giving up? You must know that there will never be a second day, if there are two centers in Luzon, it will easily lead to chaos."
Qin Jun bid farewell to Qin Lang.
"After the eleventh man's first seven days, I will take a boat back to Dongsheng Hong Kong and develop my Dongsheng state with peace of mind."
Qin Lang was silent.
He really wanted Qin Jun to take over the throne. Not only was Qin Jun strong, but more importantly, Qin Jun’s son Xiaozhong was also very good. Ten, I can still be a ten or twenty year old.
After Qin Yu's incident, now he is also very worried about Xiaogong.
But Qin Jun refused again.
Qin Jun left behind his pensive father, turned and left.
After a long time, Qin Lang in the side hall shook his head and stood up with a wry smile. Maybe he really should let go. Eighty-five years old is old enough.
Like many old people, he is always reluctant to let go of the power in his hands.
And what Qin Jun said woke him up.
So what if he is reluctant to let go, he is old after all, and he can still manage it for a few more years, not to mention, there are no two suns, and Luzon cannot have two suns. Since a new king has been established, let the new king go.
When the new king dies, the eldest son of the new king will succeed to the throne according to the system.
When Qin Lang walked out of the side hall, Huang Biao, Zhang Chao, Wei Chang, Xu Jingzong, Cui Yixuan, Li Yifu and a group of old fellows were already waiting for him.
"Saburo!"
Qin Lang looked at the elders of the Lu Song family, as well as the bachelors of the current center, he let out a long breath, and said slowly, "Where is the filial piety?"
Just now Qin Lang and his eldest son Qin Jun were alone in the hall for a long time, and finally Qin Jun left alone, which caused a lot of speculation, especially those old guys like Ah Huang, who more or less knew Qin Lang's thoughts.
Ah Huang didn't care about other things at this time, and came forward, persuading softly, "Sanlang, although I grew up watching Qin Jun, I still have to say something fair right now. But calm..."
Qin Lang nodded.
After all, Qin Yu has been his heir for fifty-five years, so all the retainers of the Qin family in Lu Song actually have a good relationship with the eldest son. After all, Qin Yu will be the king of Lu Song in the future.
Qin Yu passed away suddenly. If Qin Lang did not make his son Xiao Gong, but instead made Qin Jun king, this would actually be inconsistent with everyone's expectations for many years.
This kind of thing involves as much as the abolition of the prince by the court.
Luzon is also a kingdom after all.
Although there has never been any real princely party in Lu Song, after all, there have been many interests involved for many years. Between Qin Lang and the prince, everyone will naturally stand by Qin Lang's side, unconditionally. But if it is between Qin Yu or Qin Xiaogong and Qin Jun now, it is different.
"Go and call Xiaogong, I have a few words to say to him, Xue Shao, you go and prepare for Xiaogong's enthronement ceremony."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm really afraid that Qin Lang will come and go to war again.
In fact, Qin Jun has never intended to be king, and besides, Qin Jun is already sixty-nine, and there has never been a sixty-nine-year-old crown prince in history. Although Qin Xiaozhong has outstanding abilities, he is only fifty-one. What's more, even if he wants to be his brother at this time, Qin Lun, the second son, is more qualified to inherit the throne, and it is the turn of the sixty-nine-year-old eldest brother.
Everyone is on the boat of Luzon, and no one wants Luzon to bury hidden dangers.
Xue Shao happily took the order and left.
He is Qin Lang's nephew, the son of his wife Lizhi and his sister Chengyang Princess and Wei Weiqing Xue Guan, but both Princess Chengyang and Xue Boyu are not very lucky.
Princess Chengyang actually married Du Ruhui's second son Du He for the first time. At first, he was Prince Chengqian's confidant, but because of Chengqian's loss of power, she switched to Wei Wangtai like a grass on the wall. Ji and others were all executed, and the princess remarried to Xue Boyu.
Xue Boyu is also a son of a well-known noble family. He was the Marquis of Hedong County. After marrying the second-married princess, his official career was very good. Princess Yang's biological uncle did not let them go, Xue Boyu first demoted Fangzhou governor.
The eldest grandson asked the princess to divorce Xue Boyu, but Chengyang refused and went to Fangzhou with her husband.
Then, Xue Boyu was accused of more crimes. He was supposed to die for the crime. In the end, Li Lizhi came forward and wrote to the emperor's brother to plead for mercy. In the end, Xue Boyu and Princess Chengyang ended up in Luzon.
But after arriving in Luzon, the princess treated her sister's family very well.
Xue Boyu is also relatively talented, so he has been working in San Francisco. Later, all the sons he gave birth to are also very talented. For example, Xue Shao is his youngest son, but now he is a bachelor of the Dongge in the Luzon cabinet.
Not only that, when Li Zhi was the eldest son Qin Yuqiu, he married the princess Chengqian of the ancestor Chengqian, and later took the daughter of Princess Chengyang as his concubine. Xue Shao also married Qin Lang's daughter later, and then Qin Yu's eldest son Qin Xiaogong married the princess of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhao as his wife, and took the daughter of his uncle Xue Shao as his concubine.
Also because of the in-law relationship, Qin Yu's family is very close to Princess Chengyang and Xue Boyu's family.
Before Qin Yu succeeded to the throne as king, Qin Lang also adjusted the central team for him, and specially selected Hou Xueshao of Hedong County as his Dongge Bachelor.
Qin Yu passed away in January, so Xue Shao naturally hoped that his son-in-law Qin Xiaogong would succeed him.
Xiaogong is here.
Feeling sad and uneasy, under the watchful eyes of all the elders, he came to his grandfather.
As Qin Lang's grandson, Xiaogong's reputation is not obvious. Among his peers, Xiaozhong is the most famous. At the age of 51, he served as a right servant in the Luoyang Dynasty. , even the cannibal in white is very afraid of him, Tuhuoluo Yehu was beaten by him and knelt down and begged to surrender.
The Western Turkic Khazar Yehu in the area of the Volga River in the northwest of the Caspian Sea was also defeated by him. Xiaozhong once went to the Khazar Khan Court to meet Yehu, the Khazar tribe, and persuaded the Khazar with just a three-inch tongue. The Ministry returned to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and even brought the Khazar Khan back to Luoyang to congratulate the emperor.
There are also Xiaoan, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Xiaochang, who are also cousins who have made their names early.
Compared with them, Xiao Gong didn't have any outstanding experience. He was born in San Francisco and grew up in San Francisco. After the coronation ceremony at the age of twelve, he went to Luoyang to study, became Habayashiro, and worked as a guard in the palace for a while. , returned to San Francisco at the age of eighteen.
In a blink of an eye, he was almost thirty years old, and he basically spent his time in San Francisco.
I have also been to the Western Regions, Liaodong, Mobei, and Dianyue, but those were all short-term errands when I was still a guard in Luoyang Palace. One lap and back again.
He has traveled all over Nanyang and Luzon, but he just followed his father to inspect and comfort, and did not do any actual ministry. He has received military training and learned cavalry and archery tactics, but he has never led soldiers to fight.
He can write poems and Fu, but his talents are average.
As for the politics and the people, I have even less experience.
Once, he thought that the throne of Luzon was still far away from him. After all, his grandfather seemed to be young and not old. Who knew, suddenly, the throne fell to his head.
"From today onwards, you are the King of Luzon!" Qin Lang stepped forward, patted his eldest grandson on the shoulder, and said earnestly.
