Chapter 717: Passing on Thoughts

What is Heritage?

As a Chinese country with a long history, everyone knows what the meaning of inheritance represents.

Starting from an ordinary family, the father teaches his children the ideas and skills of his life, and the children are teaching their children, which is inheritance.

It may seem insignificant, maybe it's just the skill of farming, maybe it's just some truth about being a human being, no matter what, this is the inheritance of a family.

The family that has not been weakened before and has been forced to transform will hand over their life philosophy, control methods and family property to their next generation, so that the family can continue for a long time, which is also a inheritance.

When the recruits enter the army, they don't know anything about combat knowledge, and the veterans will teach them hand-in-hand, and when the veterans retire, these recruits will grow into veterans, and then continue to do what their predecessors have done.

While doing the same thing, they are constantly summarizing and improving according to the actual problems that occurred during this period, and when they are handed over to the recruits, it is an evolutionary version of knowledge, which is also a inheritance.

The academy is constantly recruiting students and teaching them all kinds of knowledge.

Newly recruited officials are working hard to learn their duties, and each of these is a inheritance.

Countless skills and ideas together constitute the inheritance of the entire Chinese nation.

To sum up, it is hard work, tenacity, unyielding, strong, self-esteem, self-love, integrity, friendliness, patriotism, dedication and so on.

The royal family, naturally, has the inheritance of the royal family, and every dynasty and every emperor has a different way of inheritance.

But they all have something in common, the old emperor is always prone to make mistakes in his old age, and the young emperor is always prone to being high-minded.

The most extreme is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The rule of Wenjing, the efforts of the two emperors for decades, finally made the Han Dynasty's treasury so much that the hemp rope used to string money was bad, which should have been the embodiment of national strength and should have been used for the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty's strength.

At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because he was too young, the government had to be controlled by the Empress Dowager, this time was Liu Che's most aggrieved time, but it was also the happiest time.

Although the Empress Dowager greatly limited Liu Che's power, she also escorted Liu Che, so that he could grow up completely without worry, and when he was fledgling, there was such an old empress dowager to help him take the gun.

But after the death of the Empress Dowager, Liu Che's true nature began to be exposed.

The funds in the treasury that should have been used to develop the Han Dynasty were used to build palaces on a large scale for the enjoyment of the emperor.

History gave Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a very high evaluation, but when he came to Li Yuanji, the evaluation given to him was only four words, and he was ruthless.

Militarily, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, helping the Han Dynasty to solve the strong enemy that had plagued him for decades.

But from the perspective of people's livelihood, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also brought extremely painful trauma to the Han Dynasty.

In that agrarian-oriented era, what was the concept of halving the country's population in 50 years? The death toll is more than 10 million, large tracts of fertile land are deserted, and the people are struggling to make a living.

Even in his later years, he killed the crown prince Liu Ju, who was able to save the Han Dynasty later, and finally made the selection of successors too hasty, without complete training, and hastily ascended to the throne, the Han Dynasty became more and more chaotic, and the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not only the peak, but also the beginning of the decline of the entire Western Han Dynasty.

Similarly, in Li Yuanji's view, the inheritance given by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not done well.

To put it simply, Liu Che's ambition is crooked, and he has not grown up formally.

"Since you can remember, I have been secretly observing your brothers, the second brother is too impetuous, let him go to the squirrel, 10,000 you are not his opponent, although the third is good, but in terms of the overall situation is not as good as you, the fourth is a spoiled guy, the fifth and sixth are the only ones who can impact your status, all sides, if you can get a comprehensive training, give them a few more years, it may not be impossible to suppress you." After talking about the inheritance of the Han Dynasty, Li Yuanji also began to talk about his own inheritance.

This is very important, and he hopes that his set of methods can be passed on and become the method for Datang to select successors in the future.

Although I dare not say that there are no loopholes in this set of methods, but under this premise, the loopholes can be repaired, this is a complete set of methods, and it is a method that sacrifices the interests of many people, but for Datang, it is beneficial and harmless.

"But the fifth brother and the sixth brother are not ...... from the queen mother," Li Chengguang asked suspiciously.

He is naturally very clear about the habits of his brothers, but this is just an observation, and Li Chengguang is not stupid to do anything to them.

There is no need for that, Li Yuanji has formulated this plan to ensure that his position is not attacked by anyone, provided that he does not make any fatal mistakes and does not disappoint his father, under this premise, no one can shake him.

The other princes, after they were identified as crown princes, changed their training methods and could learn anything they were interested in, except politics.

How can a person who does not understand politics usurp the throne and seize power?

In one, if you want to be justified, you have to be a descendant, right? If you don't even dare to stand up if you don't even come out, you will be sprayed to death by the world.

"Is it important to be a concubine?" Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengguang, yes, what background is indeed important in this era, and continued: "For others, this may be important, but for me, it doesn't matter at all. As the Son of Heaven, I naturally have to think about the entire Tang Dynasty, anything can go wrong, but the prince can't be wrong, if the eldest son's character and ability are not good, why do I have to hand over the Tang Dynasty to the eldest son? Let him be in power in the future and make the decisions of those bastards to ruin this country? ”

"Father, the son is wrong, ......" Li Chengguang lowered his head with some shame, he always thought that he was the eldest son and took up the light in this regard, but he never thought that he did occupy the light of the eldest son, but if he was not as good as the next few brothers in other aspects, the position of the prince may not be his own.

However, what did my father tell him to do this?

"Raise your head!" Li Yuanji said with a strict face, since he has reached this point, Li Chengguang's age is not young, he plans to tell him some related things, what he wants to inherit is not only this throne, this country, but also many, many other things, as I said before, all aspects can be wrong, but not in the selection of the prince, this is very important, once the successor is selected wrong, then the future Datang will fall into a period of decline for decades, dare to come to two or three princes who are not on the road, and Datang's qi will be exhausted.

"Think about it first, what did you do when I decided to make you the crown prince? And what did you gain during this time? If I hand over one-third of the country to you now, can you be competent, if you think you can, then it means that my method is useful, this is also the idea of you and every descendant in the future to choose the prince, the core structure of the Tang Dynasty has now taken shape, and the rest is just continuous expansion and improvement, with the passage of time, with the progress of technology to promote the progress of the whole society, so, the next thing you want is stability, you want a successor who can control yourself, don't hesitate when it's time to fight, There must be no successor with this idea when it shouldn't be fought......"
