Perhaps it was Li Shimin's answer that made Sun Xiangfu very satisfied, and not long after, Sun Xiangfu, who was sweating, walked out of the dance hall and came to the stone bench where Li Shimin was, and after a simple salute, he sat down opposite him.

"Your Majesty personally came to talk to the minister, and he must have said something about national affairs!"

"Zhengming, you are knowingly asking, I want to ask, what do you think of the future world?"

Sun Xiangfu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Can I say, look with your eyes?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, shook his head slightly and smiled, "Poor mouth is not your style, you know what I am asking." ”

"And what kind of answer does Your Majesty want?"

"I'm asking you."

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said slowly, "Yes! It is His Majesty who is asking me, so I have to answer, so what the future world will be like depends on what His Majesty wants it to become, because you are His Majesty the Emperor, and the world will only change because of your will. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally looked at Sun Xiangfu's clear eyes with a pair of divine eyes.

After staring at each other for a long time, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "The people say that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven is a fiction after all, I have won the world, sitting on the throne, it has nothing to do with the sky, it is the iron horse of the Jinge, one city and one place, I have done everything possible to fight with others, I am a person, I may be able to do many things that ordinary people cannot do through my own efforts, but I can't control all things in the world, just like now, the development of the family has reached a very special stage, and I, But it's a bit of a helpless feeling. ”

"You shouldn't be helpless about the family, but a little hesitant about the choice you are about to make, I just asked you with red sleeves, what do you think of these dancing people, and you replied 'very good', then, I want to ask you, do you think that you have been riding the horse for half your life, sitting on the throne, is it good?"

"In this world, you Sun Zhengming dare to talk to me like this, do you want me to make a choice in the imperial power and the long-term happy life of the people? After all, do you think that Wang Hao's ideas are right? Li Shimin's originally gentle and calm eyes suddenly had a hint of tyranny, and he stared at Sun Xiangfu's eyes and asked.

However, Sun Xiangfu's eyes were still extremely clear, neither happy nor sad, he just shook his head slowly and said, "If I agree with Wang Hao's set, I would have been in the same league with him a long time ago, and I will try my best to kill him?" I chose you between him and you, and I still do. ”

"Then why do you ask?"

"Because, as long as the throne still exists, it will be something that everyone yearns for, and it will cause disputes in this world, I need you, the person on the throne, to objectively give it an evaluation, so that I can better answer the questions you ask me."

"This ······"

Li Shimin was stopped by Sun Xiangfu's question for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally replied, "I feel that the throne is actually a huge responsibility, or rather, a huge burden. After sitting in this position, I have worked hard every day, and I have not slept soundly for a day, that is, in the past two years, the situation has improved in all aspects, and I can be free, think about other things, this is helpful for you to answer my question? ”

"Yes! At least you let me know that being an emperor is not an easy thing, so, to get back to the point, I just said that as long as the throne still exists, it will cause disputes in this world, and we will temporarily see it as the danger of the throne to this world, so let's talk about its positivity to this world. ”

"Harmfulness, positivity, your argument is unheard of, you can talk about it." Li Shimin was aroused by Sun Xiangfu's words, and sat up straight.

On the stone bench in front of the stone bench, Yao Hongsleeve put a large teapot full of tea on it, and turned to leave.

Sun Xiangfu poured himself a bowl of difference, drank a big mouth and said, "Wang Hao's previous idea of joint governance by multiple consortia is too idealistic, I think, it is not feasible, because, people are profit-seeking, you have also seen that the five surnames and seven families such a generational marriage, the relationship is intricate alliance, and it will also be inextricable because of the issue of interests, if it is really let them manage a country together, I am afraid that the troubled times such as the Warring States Period will come."

Therefore, I believe that the political pattern of great unification is the most suitable for our Chinese civilization, and only a single voice that can decide everything can better allow this nation to avoid civil strife caused by the struggle for power and profit. ”

After human society enters the age of science and technology, the country still needs to have a supreme decision-maker to ensure the normal operation of a country, perhaps the name has been different, called president, called chairman, called prime minister, or prime minister, etc., in fact, the actual meaning is the same, that is, absolute political rights.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu, who grew up in later generations, first denied Wang Hao's unrealistic conception, even if the consortium can control the country's politics, it is tightly secretly left, not fully controlled, even if it is controlled, it cannot be jointly controlled, and it is difficult for countries with multiple voices to maintain long-term stability.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, the tyrannical aura in Li Shimin's eyes disappeared, because he felt that Sun Xiangfu was indeed firmly on his side and supported the imperial power to control the world.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu also has the following, "Then, when there must be a supreme power such as the throne, the only way we can think of is to reduce the harm that this supreme power brings to the country." ”

"Reducing the harm of power?"

"Yes, when you are an emperor, you can't do what you want, and when you say what you want, are there a lot fewer people who want to be emperors? When the emperor must be self-righteous and set a moral example for the people of the world, there will be a lot fewer people who want to be the emperor, and when there are more and more things that the emperor needs to do, there will be more and more people who are unwilling to be the emperor, or, look at the throne rationally, then, will the harm it cause to the world be reduced a lot? ”

Sun Xiangfu's words once again made Li Shimin enter a state of silent thought.

As the emperor, he can sleep in three palaces and six courtyards, sleep with the most beautiful women in the world, eat the best delicacies in the world, wear the most dazzling clothes in the world, wear the most exquisite decorations, and enjoy the highest etiquette of everyone.

But what about the emperor when he could not enjoy these most dazzling things, but only the political rights he exercised when he ran the country! In this way, there should be no one willing to go to the trouble to grab this position!

"During your time in Jiuyuan County, you have been thinking about this problem?" Li Shimin is not stupid, after thinking about the picture described by Sun Xiangfu for a while, he felt that this may be a direction that he needs to work hard in the future.

"No, I have been planting rice in Jiuyuan County during this time, this question is something I have thought of a long time ago, and it can only be regarded as a suggestion to you, whether it is really suitable or not, I don't know, then, next, I have to answer the question you asked me before."

Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl on the table that was filled with Sun Xiangfu and took a sip, then said, "You say." ”

"If you are willing to work hard to reduce the harm caused by imperial power to this world, then, in my opinion, the future world, at least my Datang homeland, will be full of this scene you see in front of your eyes."

"You still don't seem to be optimistic that I can dominate the whole world?"

"The whole world is too big, and in your lifetime, you do not have the conditions to truly unify it, at most, you can only achieve nominal unity."

"Don't have the conditions to really unify it? Are you saying that the population of my Datang is not large enough? ”

"This is only one aspect, the key is that science and technology are not developed enough, when your army is transferred from one place to another, it will take more than a year or two, you will not be able to achieve local rule at all, unless everyone is like Shanyang, the Turkic people of Dingxiang, willing to be ruled by you, but in this way, the speed is too slow, twenty or thirty years, it may not be able to fully spread in Eurasia, let alone overseas and farther away."

"Science and technology?"

"This is a general term for my novel technology, you can see it as shipbuilding technology, or car technology, for example, we have advanced water ships, originally from the Lingnan coast to the Tianzhu coast, it takes three or four months, or even half a year, now, it only takes one or two months to arrive, if it is specially sailed with a five-sail clipper, or even more than a month can achieve a round trip.

This progress in shipbuilding technology has shortened the distance between the two places. If this technology advances again, perhaps, in the future, it will be possible to go from the Lingnan coast to the coast of India in a few days, then then you will control the Tianzhu region as firmly as you control the Jiangnan region in Chang'an, and you can go down the canal in a few days.

This advancement in science and technology will allow you to hold these territories more firmly in your hands and achieve true domination. ”

"Science and technology have improved, can it really reach that level?"

"Yes. If all goes well, you should be able to see a big improvement within three to five years of the return of the offshore exploration vessel. ”

Three to five years after the return? I haven't even gone to sea yet! That is to say, on the whole, it will take at least five to seven years to see things, Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor, so far, it has only been seven years, where does he have the heart to think about such a distant thing, for Sun Xiangfu's words, Li Shimin, whose brain hole belongs to a very typical model of the ancients, can only be said to be suspicious.

He felt that it was nothing more than that Sun Xiangfu would build some faster boats or carriages at that time, which would be beneficial to the country, but now Datang's demand for it was not urgent, so he said, "Then let's talk about how to make Datang look like we are everywhere!" ”

"This, it's actually very simple, right now, isn't someone sending a chance?"

"Opportunity? Could it be that you have already thought of a plan that will be calculated? ”
