Chapter 1215 The Young Dragon's First Roar Shook the World

As soon as the little prince said this, the atmosphere on the field changed completely. The emperor who had been admiring his child with interest outside the window turned even more gloomy.

The teacher was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault that I have disappointed your majesty!"

The little prince had been complacent before, but now he was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed. In his impression, his father was extremely strict and his teachings were merciless. He was very scared.

Even if the little prince got Wu Yi's mind, he still needed a lot of tempering to master it smoothly and use it in practice.

"Get up! I know it has nothing to do with you." The emperor looked at the old minister. Even if he had a hundred courage, he would not be able to teach these things.

"I am guilty, I dare not stand up!"

"Kneel if you want!" The emperor witnessed all this, and the anger in his heart was naturally not eliminated in a short time. He turned to look at the little prince and asked: "Who taught you these things you said?"

"I saw it in the ancient books, it has nothing to do with you, sir!"

"You are really my good son. At such a young age, you know how to protect others! What qualifications do you have!" The emperor laughed in anger.

The little prince did not dare to answer.

The emperor simply sat on the chair above and asked: "What you saw in the ancient books, tell me, which book did you read?"

"The love affairs of hundreds of officials!" The little prince did not know why he blurted out this sentence.

The emperor was about to answer, but he did not know the origin of this book. His hand stopped in mid-air, and he was extremely embarrassed for a while. However, an old eunuch who was responsible for intelligence work behind him whispered behind the emperor and told him that this was a book that recorded the affairs of hundreds of officials.

"You don't read the Four Books and Five Classics, but read these miscellaneous books!"

"Reading the Four Books and Five Classics will not help you govern the country, but these miscellaneous books let me know that the court is so corrupt, and your father will not care!"

The emperor was furious, his hair stood on end, "How dare you! Can you deny the classics of the ancient sages? A child who hasn't even grown up wants to interfere in the government. What do you know?"

The emperor pointed at the child, his blood boiling, and he felt dizzy for a while. The whole world was spinning for him. If he hadn't sat down in time, he would have fainted here.

"Give it to me, copy it, copy it, copy the Four Books and Five Classics ten times. Don't let him out until he finishes copying!" The emperor, who was so powerful in the court, was now so weak that it made people feel a little distressed.

This incident that happened this morning, because it involved the royal family, quickly spread throughout the entire Zhongdu City. The things said by a four-year-old child were not unreasonable, but no matter what, he still bore the name of being unrighteous and unfilial for contradicting his teacher and father, and was ridiculed by others.

This incident was a minor episode during the period when the election system was about to end. Although it was explosive enough, it gradually died down after being circulated for a while.

However, in the following days, bad news came one after another. First, King Yong encountered setbacks in his crusade against the rebels. Not only did he lose his troops, but he was also injured.

Later, King Lu, King Jing, and King Jin successively received news of their defeats, as if they had agreed. Their idea of ​​using foreign wars to enhance their prestige not only did not come true, but they shot themselves in the foot one by one, and their prestige was greatly reduced.

The impression of the four people in the country fell to the bottom for a while. They felt that these four people, no matter who they were, were not qualified to lead the empire forward. Although the current emperor was in poor health and no longer as powerful as he was in the past, he was still a heroic lord after all. Why not let him continue to lead?

In the country, people who hold this view have risen rapidly and have become a trend of thought. What happened in the last few days can be called surprising.

Under such circumstances, the last step of the election system began, namely, the selection of the people under the rule of the princes.

Any governance of the country will inevitably harm the interests of some people. Some radical reform methods that are set for the future are often not understood by most people.

Therefore, in this final link, anyone who has a 70% or higher level of recognition from the people can ascend to the throne.

After the implementation of the election system, the people who are called the Great Emperor have a support rate of no less than 90% in this link. Emperor Hui, who is known for his love for the people, has unprecedentedly almost no opposition. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one before and no one after. It is difficult for people in later generations to surpass him.

But now, with several princes defeated in foreign wars one after another, such as King Yong, who not only retreated in a hurry, but also abandoned the territory he had conquered before, although he still occupied it in name. This war has no achievements, and the people are naturally dissatisfied.

This time, it is very likely that none of the four princes has a support rate of more than 70%, so they will face an extremely embarrassing situation, that is, the crisis of succession.

The dynasty focuses on stability, and the key is to maintain the stability of succession. For a time, there was a lot of discussion and the people were shaken.

This situation has happened before. For example, once, the princes violated each other and exposed their true colors. The emperor directly deposed several princes and made them commoners, and then implemented the election system again.

There are precedents to be examined, but the problem is that the emperor is old and it is not known whether he can hold on for so many years. In addition, there is only one prince left, which does not meet the basis for the implementation of the election system.

Where will this huge empire go? Not only are billions of people in the human world paying attention to this matter, but also the extraordinary forces such as the immortal way and the god way are also paying attention to this matter. To put it bluntly, this crisis is not the result of these forces secretly instigating and fueling the flames.

Once the catastrophe begins, it will not end easily. A month has passed, even though several princes have tried their best to maintain it and have been constantly on the road to apologize, hoping to gain the understanding of the people.

However, when their support rate came out, it was still as expected by everyone, none of them reached 70%. The best King Jing, who lost a small battle with the Northern Tartar, only barely reached 60%.

Worries have become reality, but reality means that we must admit that the problem has been exposed. The next focus is how to solve this difficulty.

Rumors are heard everywhere, saying that the days of the Great Ji Dynasty have come to an end and that it is time to change the dynasty. However, the emperor is still there, and there has been no rebellion.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that with the four princes being declared failures and no longer eligible to ascend the throne, the dissipated luck returned to the emperor, his spirit was restored, the overlord returned, and he was full of energy when he went to court every day, which disappointed those who hoped that the emperor would fall ill.
