…

Li Ji was unlucky to be shot to death by a stray arrow, which brought a huge trouble to Dazhong - the crown prince was gone.

Because transportation and communication are not so convenient, the most important thing is that Dazhong is so big that it will take three or four years to hold a crown prince election, like the first crown prince election, which lasted a full five years.

And now, Li Yan is sixty-one and almost sixty-two years old, the key is that Li Yan is really enough for this emperor.

Moreover, Li Xiu is almost forty years old, which is the best age to be an emperor.

Therefore, you can't wait another three or five years for the next crown prince to be elected before Li Yan gives way, right?

As a result, Li Yan changed the Crown Prince Election Law, no, to be precise, it should have supplemented the Crown Prince Election Law:

After the selection of the crown prince, including before the crown prince ascends the throne, if there is any accident for the crown prince, the crown prince will be succeeded by the crown prince candidate with the second most votes in the same term, and if there is an accident between the crown prince and the second most voted crown prince candidate, the crown prince will be succeeded by the crown prince candidate with the third most votes in the same term, and so on.

Note: If it is found that the crown prince and the crown prince candidate died unnaturally, that is, they were killed, the cause of death must be ascertained, and if their death is related to the subsequent crown prince candidate, they will be severely punished according to law and deprived of their inheritance qualifications.

According to the crown prince election law supplemented by Li Yanxin, Li Ji's crown prince should be inherited by the crown prince candidate with the second most votes this time.

So who is the candidate for the crown prince with the second most votes in this election?

This man is ...... Li Xu.

Some people may be puzzled, how can Li Xu be the second most voted?

There's a reason for that, of course.

In fact, at the very beginning, the candidate for the crown prince with the second most votes was not Li Xu, but Li Maung, Li Xu was not even ranked in the top five at the beginning stage, Li Jian, Li Xuan, Li Dian, and Li Podi all had more votes than Li Xu, and Li Xu's votes were only slightly more than Li Ci and Li Bi, ranking seventh.

This order has not changed much until Li Ji has won steadily.

After Li Ji's steady victory, Li Maung was discouraged when he saw that the overall situation had been decided, and in the subsequent elections, he also took the form, put all his energy on traveling in the mountains and waters, and made hundreds of poems and songs along the way.

is similar to Li Maung's situation, as well as Li Jian.

However, while Li Jian is traveling in the mountains and rivers, he does not forget his great cause of education, which is better than Li Maung.

And Li Ji, Li Dian, and Li Podi also have their own things to be busy, you know, they are all leaders of the same industry, there are already a lot of things to do, they are definitely taking time out of their busy schedules to participate in the election, and now that they have lost the election, they naturally have to continue to be busy with their own affairs, to be honest, if it weren't for the mandatory provisions of the crown prince election law, once they run for election, they must go through all the counties and vassal states, and they would have returned to their own part a long time ago.

In fact, not only Li Maung, Li Jian, Li Ji, Li Dian, and Li Podi, but even Li Ci and Li Bi, and even Li Ji, after the result was decided, they no longer bothered to participate in the election - in the last part of the election, they were all busy with their own business.

Like Li Ji, he has already begun to visit various places to observe the people's situation and prepare for future governance.

Like Li Ci and Li Bi, they have already begun to remotely control the development of their small country.

Only Li Xu is still conscientiously participating in the election, and his attitude is extremely correct, and when he goes to a place, whether it is a county town or a vassal country, he must first visit attentively, and then personally write a speech according to the local situation.

In the case that everyone else was fooled and only Li Xu took it seriously, many regions that were originally not optimistic about Li Xu also voted for Li Xu, and some simply threw their votes to Li Xu as if they were angry.

As a result, Li Xu in the second half of the election, no, to be precise, the second half of the election, exploded, and his ranking exploded, and finally squeezed Li Maung, who was ranked second, to the third place, and became the candidate for the crown prince with the second most votes.

At that time, everyone was puzzled by Li Xu's approach, and Li Maung even said to Li Jian: "Ninety-seven is an elm head, the results have been decided, what is he still busy with, no wonder he can stay in the place where birds don't in Mobei for more than ten years." ”

I have to say that as soon as Li Ji died, Li Yan supplemented the election law and asked Li Xu to pick up a crown prince, which made Li Maung a joke all of a sudden.

But no matter who it is, while saying that Li Xu is lucky, he also has to say from the bottom of his heart that this is the result of Li Xu's perseverance and God's reward for hard work.

When Li Xu returned to Zhongjing, Li Yan directly promulgated the supplementary regulations of the Crown Prince Election Law, and then announced that Li Xu would serve as the crown prince, and Li Xu would temporarily serve as the governor of Yanjing Mansion, and in addition, Yelu Yu Liyan was promoted to a noble concubine by Li Yan.

As soon as Li Yan's series of wills came out, many of the original Liao, Jin, Mongolian, Southern, and Europeans began to cheer - Li Xu became the crown prince, breaking the legend that the imperial power was shrouded by the Han people, His Majesty Li Yan really did what he said, treated all the people equally, and let Li Xu, who has Khitan blood, be the crown prince and emperor.

This also made the cohesion of Dazhong stronger, and the former Liao, Jin, Mongolian, Southern, and Europeans finally began to believe what the Propaganda Department had been propagating: Dazhong is not only the Dazhong of the Han people, but also the Dazhong of the people of the world.

At the end of the fourteenth year of Dading, Li Yan announced his abdication and passed the throne to his fourth son, Li Xiu.

After Li Xiu ascended the throne, he changed the name of the year to Yongding, respected Li Yan as the emperor, and respected Liu Huiniang and Huan'er as the queen mother.

After Li Xiu ascended the throne, in the name of avenging Li Ji, he sent troops to exterminate all the Khwarazm and Kipchaks living in the West Siberian Mountain Plain west of the Central Siberian Plateau, and subdued the Tunjas, completely occupied the West Siberian Mountain Plain, and then sent officials to govern there, and completely incorporated it into Dazhong, so that the land area of Dazhong increased a lot.

Undoubtedly, after Li Xiu ascended the throne, he burned a fire to show that he Li Xiu is now in charge of Dazhong.

In this regard, Li Yan is very supportive.

In fact, the soldiers who fought on the mountain plains of Western Siberia were sent by Li Yan.

After demonstrating his imperial power, Li Xiu no longer considered the use of force.

In fact, there is no need for Li Xiu to use force anymore, because Dazhong is already invincible in the world, and Dazhong's territory has become so large that it can't be governed soon, so what else is there to fight?

Next, Li Xiu continued to govern Dazhong according to Li Yan's previous plan.

After Li Xiu became emperor for five years, he was recognized by most adult men in the imperial family and was re-elected for another term.

In the ten years when Li Xiu was emperor, the greatest achievement was that he completed the "Great Railway" plan and the "One Belt, One Road" plan that Li Yan did not complete, and strengthened Dazhong's rule over the world.

At the end of the decade, Li Xiu chose to abdicate in accordance with the emperor's law formulated by Li Yan and handed over the throne to his ninety-seventh brother Li Xu.

The crown prince of Li Xu was inherited by Li Podi, who was elected by a high vote in the third crown prince election......
