…

Although Li Cun's idea is absurd, it cannot be said that there is no truth at all.

First of all, with Li Yan's strong fertility, if you ask Li Yan for help, you will definitely be able to solve this matter, and you can do it once and for all, as long as Li Yan is willing, Li Yan will definitely be able to help Li Cun give birth to the son he wants.

Secondly, it is absolutely safe to ask Li Yan for help, and there will never be any future troubles - first, for the sake of the stability of the country he has built with his own hands, Li Yan will never tell anyone about it. Second, Li Yan has too many women, so he will never covet Li Cun's women, this is a one-shot deal. Third, Li Yan has many sons, and he will never be inferior to these few, so he will never fight for his son with Li Cun because of regret in the future, and then there will be endless troubles in the future.

Again, doing so can ensure that this country will eventually fall into the hands of Li Yan's descendants, so Li Yan will not only not interfere, but will also help Li Cun to support "Li Cun's son" to become the prince.

Secondly, by doing so, it can also ensure that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, right?

But—

Although Li Cun's idea has some truth, Li Yan can't do it anyway.

First of all, Li Yan already has tens of thousands of beauties, from all over the world, all kinds of things, everything, and if Li Yan wants it, he can have whatever he wants, as many as he wants, and he really can't touch a few women who have his son.

Secondly, Li Yan didn't want his reputation to be ruined in this matter - Emperor Tang Minghuang and Li Yuanhao have always been despised because they forcibly occupied their daughters-in-law, and they even died so badly, Li Yan didn't want to be with Emperor Tang Minghuang and Li Yuanhao.

Again, Li Cun came up with this last resort in desperation, who dares to guarantee that Li Cun will not regret it in the future, if Li Cun regrets it in the future, then there will be a gap between their father and son, and maybe the father and son will fall in love with each other, causing a catastrophe.

Secondly, what is fake is fake, and it is not sure when it will be exposed, and at that time, this will be the biggest scandal of the royal family, and Li Yan could not have predicted how big the impact would be.

Finally, and most importantly, Li Yan actually has a way to solve this matter.

It's just that Li Yan's methods hurt Li Cun's interests a little, so Li Yancai never took the initiative to say it.

Now that Li Cun has even figured out a way to jump off the wall in such a hurry, Li Yan feels that it is time to say his thoughts.

After Li Cun stood anxiously outside for more than an hour, Li Yan called Li Cun in again.

As soon as he came in, Li Cun knelt on the ground honestly, and then said: "Please also ask my father to understand the hardships of my son, my son is doing this, not for his son's own sake, but for the sake of your father, the emperor and the emperor have built the country with great difficulty." ”

Li Yan stared at Li Cun for a long time before saying, "Don't talk about this matter in the future, although I am a good woman, there is still a bottom line." ”

Li Cun was a little unwilling, and said: "Don't have a burden in your father's heart, the son is willing, and the son promises that no one will know about this matter, including those concubines of the son and son, and ask the father to ......."

Li Yan interrupted Li Cun and said, "I have already said it, don't say anything about this matter in the future." ”

Seeing that Li Yan was so resolute, Li Cun opened his mouth, and then closed his mouth again.

Worried that Li Cun would find someone else to help him with this, Li Yan warned Li Cun: "You are not allowed to have this idea again in the future, do you know that once this matter is leaked out, not only will you not be able to take the throne of Dazhong, but you will also be ridiculed." ”

Li Cunxin said: "If I hadn't worried about this, I would have found someone else a long time ago." ”

Although he thought so, Li Cun replied: "No." ”

Seeing that Li Cun's mood was not high, Li Yan said: "I just thought of a way to establish a prince, and I want to discuss it with you." ”

Li Cun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Please also ask my father to make it clear." ”

Li Yan organized the language and said: "Our Dazhong region is vast, if you even count Central Asia and Europe, this territory is several times that of the Han and Tang dynasties, Cun'er, do you think that such a vast territory, can one or two people manage it?" ”

Li Cun thought for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "It's difficult, especially the place west of the Western Regions, where it's too much to reach. ”

Li Yan nodded, and said, "Then if you let your brothers and your brothers' sons help you manage it, can you manage it?" ”

In fact, the current Dazhong is how to manage this huge country - aside from the sons who were named kings by Li Yan, there are actually Li Yan's children and grandchildren in various departments and regions within Dazhong, and they are all helping to manage Dazhong and help maintain the unity of Dazhong.

Of course, it is undeniable that some of them have become moths.

But—

Because Li Yan is strict with his children and grandchildren, and he has always appointed according to the amount of materials, so at present, the advantages for them far outweigh the disadvantages.

Li Cun couldn't go against his heart and say that these children and grandchildren of Li Yan had no contribution to the Li family's rule, especially in front of Li Yan.

Therefore, Li Cundao: "My father is on the throne, and they are indeed greatly conducive to the rule of Dazhong." ”

Listening to Li Cun's words, how could Li Yan not know that Li Cun meant: When others inherit Li Yan's throne in the future, Li Yan's children and grandchildren may become internal worries.

Li Cun's worries are not unreasonable.

Many of Li Yan's children and grandchildren have real power, and some even have a certain amount of military power, which is indeed an unstable factor.

This is indeed a problem that must be solved in Chengdazhong, even if Li Yan has already separated many of his sons.

Li Yan said: "Then what if I give them the right to vote?" ”

"This ...... What is the right to stand for election and what is the right to vote? ”

Li Cun didn't understand what the meaning of these two new terms proposed by Li Yan was?

Li Yan patiently explained to Li Cun: "Actually, I want all my descendants to have the opportunity to be the crown prince and the emperor, and if they can't be the emperor, they can also choose the crown prince, and then elect the emperor......"

To put it bluntly, Li Yan plans to let his children and grandchildren form a party equivalent to the ruling party of later generations, and then implement an intra-party election system.

In other words, the candidate for the crown prince must be selected within the royal family, elected by all adult men of the imperial family, and then the crown prince is elected from among the candidates for the crown prince, and when the time comes, the crown prince ascends the throne as emperor.

The specific operation is that the adult men of the royal family first select nine people who meet the criteria of the crown prince from the members of the royal family who have good track records in the imperial family, and then these nine people go to the various counties and vassal states of Dazhong one by one, and use the rule of "winner takes all" (adult men have votes, but vassal states are generally decided by the king, and most of them are elected in vassal states) to win the votes of each county or each vassal state, and in the end, whoever gets the most votes will be the crown prince when the term is changed, and the crown prince will be the crown prince during his tenure as the crown prince. As long as you don't make a big mistake, when you change the term again, or when the emperor has an accident, you will serve as the emperor.

In other words, Li Yan combined the election laws of China and the United States in later generations to create a new election law.

As for how to implement it, someone helped Li Yan slowly improve.

To put it more seriously, Li Yan forcibly stipulated that five years is a term, and an emperor can be re-elected for one term at most, that is, when the emperor is ten years old - when the five years come, if more than half of the adult men of the imperial family feel that the emperor is incompetent, then the emperor cannot be re-elected and must be re-elected.

After figuring out what Li Yan meant, Li Cun was silent - although Li Cun had no son and was not in good health, Li Yan's "whimsical" election method still made Li Cun a little difficult to accept.
