Judging from the current situation of Zhu Youxiao's descendants, there is no big problem with the establishment of a crown prince, because since the empress Zhang Yan has given birth to a descendant, according to the principle of establishing a legitimate son, the second prince, who has been named Zhu Cirong, should be directly appointed as the crown prince.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not want to just establish a baby as the crown prince so casually, and to suppress the fate of a country and nation in the next few decades on a baby with unknown intelligence and ability. This is not a very wise behavior, although it conforms to the current ritual system of the Ming Dynasty and is also an important form for feudal dynasties like the Ming Dynasty to maintain systematic governance.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's consciousness at this time, the Ming Dynasty should no longer be regarded as a feudal dynasty that relies on etiquette, hierarchy and imperial examination systems to maintain administrative order. It should have begun to gradually move towards a trust capital empire that is modernized and industrialized.

If I and my future descendants still want to become dictators of this empire and not just a simple core symbol of ruling power, then this successor must have the extraordinary ability to control the entire country. The reason why I can still make the Ming Dynasty reverse the situation and gradually enter modernization and industrialization is because I have hundreds of years of prophets and systems as gold fingers, coupled with Zhu Youxiao's own strategy and he was originally a top student who graduated from medical science.

However, their successors obviously will no longer have plug-ins. Although they can inherit the imperial genes of the Zhu family, they still lack the confidence in the situation in the next hundreds of years. Therefore, if they want the Ming Empire to continue to move towards the process of modernization and even modernization for a long time, and directly break the gap between Western countries and the Ming Dynasty, they must have higher abilities for successors. They should be able to make political decisions sensitively based on changes in the situation and have their own opinions and strategies.

However, now that the eldest prince Zhu Cijiong and the second prince Zhu Cirong are underage, Zhu Youxiao will not rashly make the move to establish a prince. What's more, in his opinion, he will definitely have more women in the future, and he will have more offspring, and the choice will be wider. There is no need to follow the ancestral system.

Qian Qianyi and other Qingliu officials did not understand this truth. They were representatives of traditional literati and officials. What they tried to maintain was the empire's etiquette order, especially the legal transmission of the throne. In their opinion, this was related to whether the empire could be stable for a long time. Therefore, they regarded these as more important than whether Jiannu still had a threat to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule and whether the emergence of new methods of exploitation would further deepen class contradictions in the near future.

"Your Majesty, the position of the Eastern Palace should not be suspended for a long time, otherwise the world will be uneasy." Although Qian Qianyi was good at flattering in front of Zhu Youxiao, he also knew that it would be impossible to flatter and not do some serious things in front of His Majesty. Therefore, when he was concerned about the country and the country and the minister of the Ministry of Rites should be in charge of, he was quite persistent. With his understanding of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao over the years, he believed that as long as he was talking about the important things, even if he turned against His Majesty, he seemed to have never been punished by His Majesty, because His Majesty would be particularly generous in this situation. For example, Yang Sichang and Li Mingrui had all argued with His Majesty the Emperor about the affairs of the government, but nothing was wrong.

But what Qian Qianyi didn't know was that in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, domestic fiscal policy, foreign military and foreign trade were considered serious business, and the matter of establishing a prince was just my family business. You are a foreign minister, so even if you are the Minister of Rites, the more you force yourself, the more you feel disgusted. What's more, Zhu Youxiao, who is also familiar with the history of the dynasty for thousands of years, also knows what these conservative officials are doing. Although it is for the stability of the country, it is not ruled out that it is paving the way for his future political future.

Because the fact that everyone is tacitly aware of is that the lifespan of an emperor in any dynasty is not long. Whether it is a foolish or a wise monarch, as an official with some political vision, he will focus part of his attention on the next emperor, and even in the future, the crown prince will serve him and ignore the life and death of the current emperor.

Qian Qianyi's eager performance obviously made Zhu Youxiao feel even more dissatisfied with him. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but find that this guy who was once the leader of the Donglin Party was not only good at party disputes, but also limited his vision to his own family affairs. As the chief minister of the cabinet, not only did not solve the problem of civil servants for himself, but instead represented the civil servants to make things difficult for him.

This made Zhu Youxiao think of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period. The dispute over the throne between Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun was undoubtedly reunited again at this moment. These civil servants always remembered food and not beaten. Once the emperor was a little indulged and tolerated to them, they thought of challenging their imperial power.

"I will discuss this matter later!"

Zhu Youxiao said this without hesitation and left, which made Qian Qianyi stand still.

Seeing this, Li Mingrui couldn't help but smile and caught up with Zhu Youxiao. Seeing that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, he also guessed in his heart that it was because of Qian Qianyi's words just now that he annoyed His Majesty.

But Li Mingrui knew that he could not make trouble for Qian Qianyi at this time, because according to his understanding of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, this would be counterproductive. So he did not mention whether Qian Qianyi proposed to establish a crown prince early or not. Instead, he changed the topic and was also a serious matter. But Li Mingrui believed that when he mentioned this matter again, His Majesty Zhu Youxiao would not be angry.

Li Mingrui came forward and stopped Zhu Youxiao directly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the Censorate is an important place for supervising all officials, and the Censor of the Left Capital also assumes the important responsibility of the Censor of the General Censor of the Left Capital. Therefore, the position of the Censor of the Left Capital cannot be suspended for a long time. I dared to advise Your Majesty to make decisions early, whether it is the court or the court's discussion, you must make arrangements early. In addition, although Your Majesty now has two His Highnesses, it is still too few. Your Majesty should accept concubines to extend their children, so that the State will continue to be proud and stable without changing due to the situation."

Li Mingrui's proposal surprised Qian Qianyi because in his opinion, the re-establishment of the Zuodu Censor was undoubtedly a rebellion against His Majesty. After all, Cao Sicheng had just been demoted, and His Majesty was most disgusted by the party struggles at that time. In addition, although the talent show such as the widespread concubines did not rebellion against His Majesty, many Qingliu officials were opposed to His Majesty. In their opinion, this was the manifestation of a foolish monarch in the absurd national affairs and would disturb the people. Li Mingrui proposed at this moment that he would undoubtedly offend many civil officials, especially Lu Xiangsheng, because Lu Xiangsheng, who held military power, opposed His Majesty's fanfare talent show, because that would affect the lives of the people.
