…

Li Cun can make other princes not look at Li Ci and Li Da and only look at him, but not only because Li Cun is the crown prince, not only because Li Cun is now in charge of the country and temporarily exercises the power of the emperor on behalf of Li Yan to manage the country, but also because Li Cun's resume and ability are more dazzling than Li Ci and Li Da, and even more dazzling than Li Yan, Li Wei, Li Maung, Li Ji, and Li Xiu, so that the brothers sincerely obey him.

Li Cun is as proficient in the law of Dazhong as Li Yan, and in the past two years, during Li Cun's tenure as the governor of the government, there has been no unjust, false and wrongful case, and no one has been dissatisfied.

Although Li Cun did not have the ability to have 10,000 enemies like Li Wei, Li Cun once served as a transshipment envoy to supply the expeditionary force, that is, from Shu to the distant Dingyuan City (at that time, the railway in Longyou had not yet been repaired, and it was all transported by manpower, and millions of people had to be used to supply Dingyuan City once), even the most outstanding transshipment envoy may not be able to achieve such a difficult supply, but Li Cun did it.

In the fifth year of the Great Unification, Li Cun was ordered by Li Yan to participate in the imperial examination anonymously, but Li Cun's answer at that time shocked all the examiners, and no one could compare with Li Cun, and finally a group of examiners led by Chen Gongfu pointed out that Li Cun was the first in the examination, and when it came to the palace examination, Li Cun's defense shocked Li Yan, at that time, Li Yan just wanted to suppress Li Cun's results and not let Li Cun be the champion and could not find an excuse, because the gap between the level of that session and Li Cun was too big, In the end, Li Yan could only cancel Li Cun's achievements and named others as champions on the grounds that the prince could not compete with his son, but although Li Yan canceled Li Cun's achievements and named others as champions, in Li Cun's session, it was recognized that Li Cun was the champion, and compared with Li Cun, Li Maung was obviously inferior.

In the first year of Tietong, Li Cun anonymously went to Xining, the forefront of Longyou, which had just been recovered at that time.

At that time, a large number of tribes from the Dazhong, Western Xia, Tibetan, Uighur and steppes competed there, and the situation there was extremely complicated, and the key point was that the Tubo and other natives there rebelled from time to time, and the situation was much more complicated than that in Indochina.

But Li Cun grew up in that environment, and then took advantage of the power of Dazhong to suppress the Western Xia, Tubo, Uighur and the tribes on the steppe so that they did not dare to peep into Xining.

And this is not the end, Li Cun also used ethnic migration, joint struggle, friendly exchanges, trade manipulation, administrative jurisdiction and other methods to stabilize the natives of Longyou.

In other words, Li Xiu's multi-ethnic integration methods were actually summarized and carried forward on the basis of Li Cun's previous methods for dealing with the issue of ethnic integration.

When Li was serving as the county warden in Chola County, the Hosara people were planning to restore the country.

After Li Cun learned of this, he secretly informed Shi Bao and suppressed the Hosara people by thunderous means.

At that time, the Hosara people had become a cancer in Chola County, and their long-term treatment was ineffective, occupying a lot of troops and resources.

Faced with this situation, Li Cun withstood all the pressure and issued a killing order, and killed all the Hosala people who participated in the rebellion at that time.

This matter was not small at that time, even if Shi Bao stood up and said that this order was given by him.

You must know that in the eyes of people in this era, especially those literati who have the right to speak, the prince should be generous - the best emperor in their minds is actually not like Li Yan, but like Emperor Jing of Han and Song Rensong.

Therefore, at that time, it seemed that everyone was criticizing Li Cun for being murderous, and he had the intention of forcing Li Yan to change to a prince.

Later, Li Yan saw that this unhealthy trend was getting more and more intense, and there was a great intention that Li Yan would not be good at giving up if he did not deal with Li Cun, so Li Yan wrote an article "The Way of the King", in which a few sentences are like this: "For the monarch, you must have a benevolent heart, and you must also have a three-foot butcher's knife, otherwise, how can you govern thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, how can you protect the realm of Dazhong and the people of Dazhong, and why do you threaten the neighbors so that they dare not peep into the territory of Dazhong...... The monarch, endure and kill, do not fear of killing, and kill when he kills...... My descendants of Li Yan, if I don't have a three-foot butcher's knife, I can't succeed to the throne of Li Yan, and I Li Yanzhi will not pass on the cowards who dare not kill......"

As soon as Li Yan's "The Way of the King" came out, the world was in an uproar, and people talked about it!

Later, two great Confucians who were not afraid of death even publicly criticized Li Yan, and said how Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty were benevolent and sage, and how prosperous their countries were.

In the face of these people looking for death, Li Yan didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly fulfilled them, and this is not the end, Li Yan also asked Jinyi Wei to investigate their black history, make them stink, and let them never turn over.

In this way, Li Yan attracted the firepower to himself, which allowed Li Cun to avoid the turmoil.

As for Li Yan, whoever can shake Li Yan's status, and whoever dares to take the lead, Li Yan will destroy him, and also attack the reputation they care about the most, slowly, people only dare to whisper to condemn Li Yan's domineering, and no longer dare to publicly accuse Li Yan.

Soon after, Li Yan personally presided over the research and development of the airship, which successfully flew manned.

People can finally fly to the sky!

As soon as this incident came out, Li Yan's "The Way of the King" was instantly overshadowed - how can this little thing be compared with humans can finally fly to the sky?

All in all, Li Cun is superior to his brothers in all aspects, plus Li Cun is Li Yan's eldest son, crown prince, and future emperor, his light naturally overshadows other princes, even Li Ci and Li Da, two excellent princes.

Li Cun came to the main seat and sat down, and then pressed his hand at the princes and motioned for the princes to sit down as well.

After everyone sat down, Li Cuncai said, "I came to you today because I have two things to tell you. ”

"First ......"

Li Cun's voice became very heavy, "When Fifty-Seven was conquering Wang Gubu, he died in battle because he rushed too far ahead...... In a few days, Fifty-Seven's body will be transported back, and my father has an order, so let's handle Fifty-Seven, he died for Dazhong, he died for the royal battle, and he is a ...... It's a hero. ”

Hearing that Li Yan's fifty-seventh son Li Jie died in battle, Li Wei's body was shaking!

Li Jie is one of Li Wei's six younger brothers, and the relationship between their brothers has always been very good.

Li Ji, who was closest to Li Wei, patted Li Wei's shoulder and said, "Second brother, the festival is smooth." ”

Li Wei gently took Li Ji's hand away, and then said: "If the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, as a soldier, fifty-seven will die...... Die well deserved. ”

Everyone came over to comfort Li Wei.

After a while, Li Cuncai said again: "In addition to handling the aftermath of Fifty-Seven, my father also explained, so that we can settle Fifty-Seven's family." ”

After a pause, Li Cun continued: "Concubine Li is by her father's side, she already knows about it, and now there are only fifty-seven wives and children left. ”

Speaking of this, Li Cun looked at Li Wei and said, "Second child, the two young sons of fifty-seven, you and I will each help him raise one." ”

Li Wei said without hesitation: "Big brother, you are so busy, how can you have time to educate your children, otherwise, let me raise the two young sons of fifty-seven, I have many concubines, I will definitely be able to raise them well." ”

Li Cun shook his head, and then said: "Don't argue, no matter how busy I am, I still have time to raise a child, by the way, this matter still has to be agreed by the widow of fifty-seven, in case they don't want us to help raise it, then ...... Let's ask our father to let the eldest son of fifty-seven inherit his throne, and then we often let the inside-in-law go to his house and walk around. ”

Li Wei agreed: "Okay." ”

Other princes also responded to the matter.

After a pause, Li Cun said again: "There are also fifty-seven concubines, if they want to remarry, then our big guy will make up a few generous dowries for them, don't let them be looked down upon after they go to other people's homes, huh...... If they are unwilling to remarry, then we will gather more molecules for them to make their lives not too sad. ”

A group of princes responded:

"Okay, whether they want to remarry or not, I'll pay a thousand."

"I'll give a thousand, too."

"I've been playing with Fifty-Seven since I was a child, and it's not appropriate to give out a thousand, I'll give a thousand and five."

“……”

Subsequently, the princes discussed how to handle Li Jie's funeral.

In the end, it was Li Cun who made the decision and asked the Ministry of Rites to get it, and then they all went over to help.

After discussing Li Jie's future, Li Cun said again: "So, let's talk about the second thing...... The second thing is that your distribution order has come down. ”

Over the years, through the practice of Li Cun, Li Yan, Li Xiu, Li Ci, Li Da and other princes, Li Yan's sons have really grown up and can already share Li Yan's worries.

What's more important is that Li Yan's sons and Li Yan are definitely a community of interests, as long as they don't have a bad head, they will definitely do their best to help Li Yan consolidate the country, and they will definitely support the rule of the Li family, because only in this way can they get the greatest benefits.

Therefore, slowly, Li Yan, who realized this, began to scatter his capable and ambitious sons all over the country, and let them help them govern the country - this kind of thing, of course, has not happened in Chinese history, and the reason for this is that in addition to preventing the prince from seizing the heir, there is a more important reason, that is, none of those emperors in Chinese history has so many sons like Li Yan, but there is a similar example in foreign countries, Abdullah Aziz ibn Saud, This man relied on his many sons to help him govern the country (by the time of Li Yan's crossing, the Saud family had more than 4,000 princes, half of whom were direct descendants of Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, and the rest were descendants of his five brothers and cousins, who occupied half of the governors and cabinet officials in all Saudi provinces, and monopolized all ministries except the Ministry of Oil, and also occupied 200 high-ranking positions in the armed forces, police, coast guard, and central and local administrations, Of the unappointed princes, about 800 have become extremely wealthy. ）。

Facts have proved that Li Yan's sons are very useful, because of them, Japan, Longyou, Western Xia, Zhongnan, Zhuluo, Tubo and many other areas that give Li Yan a headache have been greatly improved, and this is only the tip of the iceberg - as of now, Li Yan has only more than 200 adult sons, Li Yan has 700 non-adult sons, in addition, Li Yan's body is very good, and he can regenerate, and, don't forget, Li Yan's sons still have sons, I won't talk about it in the future, As of now, Li Yan already has five or six hundred grandchildren, and when Li Yan's children and grandchildren all grow up, they will be filled with various departments in the middle school and occupy important positions in each department, so ...... Li Yan couldn't imagine it anymore.

For the arrival of that day, Li Yan insisted on having a dozen or twenty women every day, despite the fact that he was almost fifty years old.

In addition, Li Yan specially issued a "distribution order" to place his sons to go out to work or exercise.

Hearing that the distribution order had come down, all the princes raised their hearts.

Whoever has a prince has no competition?

It may not be in other dynasties, but it is designated in the Dazhong Dynasty, for no other reason, Li Yan's children and grandchildren are too many, if you don't work hard, eight or nine times out of ten you will be drowned in the sea of people, and in the end, Li Yan may forget the existence of this child and grandson.

And this distribution order, like their college entrance examination notice, will largely determine the fate of their lives.

Can they not be nervous in this situation?

Li Cun could understand the nervous hearts of the brothers, so he didn't have ink, but directly asked the chamberlain to invite Li Yan's holy decree, and then read it himself: "The fourth prince Li Xiu." ”

When Li Xiu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Erchen is here." ”

Li Cun read again: "After dealing with Li Jie's funeral, the fourth prince Li Xiu and the seventy-first prince Li Ci immediately went to the Liaoning Palace to face the saint, and in addition, the two of you will go to the Jingwei Academy (where Li Yan's children and grandchildren go to school) to pick twenty newly graduated princes to go to the Liaoning Palace to face the saint with you. ”

Hearing that Li Yan had finally summoned them to the Northeast, Li Xiu and Li Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief together!

However, at the same time, Li Xiu and Li Ci were a little surprised that Li Yan wanted to summon so many sons over, and the two of them guessed together: "Could it be that my father wants to make some big moves in the Northeast?" ”

Although they were guessing, Li Xiu and Li Ci didn't dare to delay their return at all, and they said in unison: "No! ”

Li Cun then read: "Eighth Prince Li Ji." ”

When Li Ji heard this, he was excited!

No matter how high the virtue and reputation are, it is useless in Dazhong, under the influence of Li Yan, the people in power in Dazhong are more interested in ability and resume, especially the latter, Li Yan often hangs on the lips of a sentence is "practice is the only criterion for testing truth".

Under this premise, Li Ji, who has always paid attention to his own moral construction, has actually gone a little wrong - in other dynasties, Li Ji, who pays attention to his own moral packaging, may be able to have a good development, but in the Dazhong Dynasty, especially in the Dazhong Dynasty, which Li Yan said, if Li Ji continues like this, I am afraid that he can only be the king of the eight sages for a lifetime.

Therefore, after realizing this, Li Ji went to beg his mother Hua Baoyan and asked Hua Baoyan to ask for a chance for him to be released.

Now it seems that Hua Baoyan's opportunity to ask for Li Ji has come.

It's no wonder that Li Ji is a little excited!

Li Cun then recited: "After dealing with Li Jie's funeral, he went to Guiyuan City (Balasagon the capital of the Qarakhanid Dynasty in the east) to serve as a county lieutenant on the same day. ”

When Li Ji heard this, his breathing was urgent!

The eastern Qarakhanid Dynasty had only recently been recovered by the expeditionary force, and those rebellions continued, and the key point was that Qarluq and Khamli were still eyeing the sidelines, so to speak, it was now not only the farthest place from the greatest, but also the most chaotic place in the great.

But such a place is exactly where the ambitious Li Ji wants to go the most.

Therefore, Li Ji immediately suppressed his excitement, then bowed respectfully, and said, "The son of the minister has the order!" ”

Next, Li Maung was sent to Taiwan County by Li Yan, Li Ang was sent to Nanjing by Li Yan, Li Xu was sent to the Ministry of Railways by Li Yan, and so on......
