Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Isn't it just an unpleasant encounter? Isn't it just a trivial matter in daily life? How can it be connected with the relationship between the ruler and his subjects?

Well, Jiang Tuan doesn’t understand “Game of Thrones” and he admits that he is really stupid.

Compared with those who are struggling in the power arena all day long, he is just an innocent and harmless little white rabbit.

Many times in life, once you admit that you are not that smart, you can immediately see things more clearly.

Like now, Jiang Tuan admits that he is stupid, so he doesn't think it is shameful to ask others for help. This is clearly a humble request for advice.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?

Will Dr. Cheng take revenge on me and the prince because of this incident and tell everyone about it?

I don't care. Anyway, I'm not from Daxia, and I might leave someday. But the prince is different. He wants to stay here forever.

What if he says that the prince is disrespectful to his teachers and elders and is unworthy of being the prince, and he insists that Your Majesty depose the prince? "

After Jiang Tuan finished speaking, he waited for a long time without getting a response. He looked at the father and son who seemed to be looking at him as if he were an alien, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Qi sighed. This was why he was worried about Jiang Tuan.

The other party is so bold and doesn't even realize how bold he is.

He secretly felt fortunate in his heart, because he was afraid that Jiang Tuan would say something shocking, so every time he talked to him, he would not leave the eunuchs and maids except Ning Bai.

For example, now, just with these three words "deposed crown prince", he can cause shock in the entire Daxia.

Sighing, he asked helplessly: "Jiang Tuan, do you know how big a deal it is to depose the crown prince?"

"I know. It's just a matter of changing the successor to the country. What's there to not know?"

"Then you know that deposing the crown prince is not something that can be done simply by opening your mouth, right?"

"Ah? Didn't you say it's useless?"

"of course not!"

Jiang Qi had no choice but to explain to Jiang Tuan the importance of the position of crown prince.

First of all, the crown prince was not appointed casually, but after the emperor had given much consideration and even discussed with ministers and royal family members.

It's not that the emperor just acted on impulse and randomly appointed a crown prince, and everyone would agree with him.

Once the crown prince is appointed and dissatisfies most ministers and people, it is very likely that the ministers will take extreme measures and support others, pulling down the crown prince they are dissatisfied with.

Of course, for Jiang Qi, everyone was quite satisfied with the prince he appointed.

Jiang Huai was his eldest son, which was absolutely in accordance with etiquette. Moreover, Jiang Huai was smart since childhood and was raised by many ministers, so they naturally had a protective attitude towards him.

Secondly, the position of crown prince is not only related to the rise and fall of a dynasty, but also to the interests of many people.

Many princes were made princes because their mother's family was strong and they had a natural advantage.

If this child is not made the crown prince, his maternal family will be very dissatisfied, and if nothing is done, there will definitely be a big mess.

Another point is that although the ministers all say that they are only loyal to the emperor, whether for the sake of the country or for future generations, they do have no requirements for the prince, and everyone will show some affection.

For example, Jiang Huai grew up under the care of many ministers, and many of them even held him in their arms when he was young.

Based on these alone, if there were no sufficient reasons, if Jiang Qi said he wanted to depose Crown Prince Jiang Huai, the ministers would definitely strongly oppose it.

Finally, the emperor could not depose the crown prince just by saying so.

There are much more things to do after deposing the crown prince than after enthroning him.

In order for the new crown prince to gain a firm foothold, those who had previous relationships with the deposed crown prince were either driven out of the center of power or killed.

The process was bloody and violent, and was no less than a huge disaster for the entire dynasty.

All these reasons combined meant that the emperor would not easily appoint a crown prince, let alone depose him. He would not even easily say the words of deposing a crown prince, for fear that others would hear it and cause unnecessary panic.

Jiang Qi's explanation was very detailed, which made Jiang Tuan fully realize how destructive power his casual words could be.

He felt that he had been deceived by what was shown on television and by the brevity of history books.

I always feel that as long as someone reports the prince to the emperor, most emperors will become dissatisfied with the prince. When the dissatisfaction accumulates, they will depose the person without hesitation.

However, it is not Jiang Tuan’s fault for thinking too much, because in the history of Blue Star, being a crown prince is an absolutely high-risk job!

Especially when the prince's father is a wise and capable ruler, the danger index is simply five stars.

"Your Majesty, it's not my fault that I think too much. It's mainly because the history I read before was not very friendly to the prince."

"What's the history of your place? Why are you unfriendly to the prince? Tell me about it."

Jiang Tuan thought about it and listed some for Jiang Qi.

Some were deposed because they were out of favor, some were deposed because they could not act, some were deposed because the emperor and ministers had too high expectations for their sons and they could not bear the expectations and went crazy, some were deposed because they were too capable and threatened the emperor's authority, and so on.

Anyway, there is nothing that cannot be written in official history or unofficial history, except what you can't think of.

At this point, Jiang Tuan focused on the mad and rebellious prince.

Did he want to rebel? Did he really think he could succeed in the rebellion?

Neither. It’s because he felt that there was no hope in life, so he just gave up.

The prince's father was so powerful that he could easily accomplish things that others might not be able to do in their entire lives.

This gave the emperor and his ministers the illusion that governing the country and expanding territory were not difficult tasks.

If the emperor can do it, the prince can certainly do it as well. If he can't, it just means that he is lazy and needs strict teaching.

So, as a father, he did not say a word of praise for the prince who was not so talented but was sensible; as a subject, he did not say a word of praise for the diligent prince.

On the contrary, if the prince did something slightly out of line, the emperor and his ministers would criticize him endlessly.

No matter how strong a person is mentally, it would be strange if he can remain calm if he is surrounded by negative comments from others all day long.

Later, the prince became lame for some reason, his mother, who loved and understood him, died of illness, his father was strict with him, but was especially fond of his younger brothers and was very partial to them, and he began to oppress his once kind brothers in various ways.

With all the situations piled up together, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply took a desperate path and rebelled!

When he was rebelling, did he think he could succeed?

Maybe not, his father was too powerful, he never thought he would succeed.

Perhaps he also thought that if his rebellion was successful, would his father and the ministers recognize his abilities?
