I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

Cao Danshu was so angry that her teeth were about to break: "Humph, this bitch usually pretends to be humble and obedient, but I didn't expect that she has such ambitions. She wants to be an equal to the Japanese palace by relying on her son's status. Is she worthy? No, I will never let this happen. The position of the crown prince must belong to Zhao Shu."

Huan'er said hurriedly: "How about you go to the Emperor, explain the interests involved, and ask him to depose Princess Fukang from the position of Crown Prince?"

"How can it be that simple?"

Cao Danshu was furious and glared at her. "The emperor broke the rules and made Huirou the crown prince. He must have been deeply seduced by Miao. Now his heart is on this bitch mother and daughter. No matter how much I persuade him, it's useless! What's more, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. If I say this, if it gets out, won't it give people a reason to talk and ruin the reputation I worked so hard to build?"

Huan'er asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

"For now, the only solution is to have my brother, together with the Gao family, the Zhao clan, and a group of ministers, jointly petition the emperor to put pressure on him, so that he can depose Huirou and appoint Zhao Shu as the crown prince."

……

Miao Xinhe was also shocked by the emperor's appointment of a crown prince.

"How could it be? Why would the Emperor make my daughter the Crown Prince?"

Faced with such a happy event, Miao Xinhe was not surprised but terrified.

Growing up under traditional feudal ideas, she strictly abides by the three obediences and four virtues, and believes that women are born to depend on men.

For a daughter, her job is to take care of her husband, raise her children, do the housework, and be filial to her parents-in-law.

Although Huirou is a royal princess, born in a royal family, she is still a woman after all.

Even if the emperor wanted to appoint a crown prince, he should not appoint her.

Miao Xinhe thought, could it be that the emperor was forced by his ministers to appoint a crown prince, and because he had no biological son and was unwilling to give the throne to his adopted son, he pushed Huirou out as a shield and temporarily occupied the position of crown prince.

Miao Xinhe is not the only one who thinks this way.

Since ancient times, the throne or the position of crown prince has been exclusive to men.

Even if the emperor has no son, it is impossible for him to let his daughter become the crown prince.

The reason is very simple. In traditional concepts, daughters are to be married and one day become the daughter-in-law of someone else's family.

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled on the ground. Passing the throne to a daughter would be like handing over the vast territory to an outsider, wouldn't it?

Therefore, many emperors would rather adopt sons of the royal family than pass the throne to their daughters even if they could not give birth to sons.

Even Empress Wu Zetian, who was troubled by the choice of a crown prince in her later years, only hesitated between her son and nephew and never thought of making Princess Taiping the heir.

There's nothing we can do about it, this is a patriarchal society.

When a woman gives birth to a child, whether it is a boy or a girl, the child's surname will follow the father's.

The ministers felt that it was impossible for Zhao Zhen to be stupid on such a critical issue.

He went against the majority's opinion and made Huirou the crown prince. He must have wanted to use his daughter to temporarily take over the position of crown prince and then replace her after a son was born.

With this thought in mind, many ministers who had previously opposed Huirou becoming the crown prince became much quieter.

They could understand the emperor's feelings very well.

After all, the throne is too tempting, and the road to it is extremely difficult, often accompanied by cruel bloodshed and killing.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, no emperor would be willing to pass the throne he had fought hard for to death to someone else's son.

If they were to switch places with the emperor, they would definitely pass the throne to their biological son rather than their adopted son.
