This time when he left Beijing, he reserved a small team to assist the prince in handling government affairs, and let him take over many things slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info those people are all preparing prime ministers, and the second-in-command of each department is responsible for handling the practice, and some major events will be decided in Youzhou, and then notified to Chang'an.

This prince was established when he was unconscious. In fact, he never made a prince. He is still thinking about whether to make a prince. There are almost no examples of the eldest son succeeding to the throne in the Tang Dynasty, almost none. Just one, as for who, it was mentioned earlier.

He was still wondering, who is he going to appoint? He wanted to maintain a stable transition of power, and once considered whether to imitate the Qing Dynasty, what kind of secret system of establishing a reserve, getting some box to hide behind the plaque, and waiting until he died to announce who the heir was.

He is not without opinions on primogeniture. Although theoretically speaking, the eldest son will actually be a little better, which is well-founded, but in practice, it is difficult to say, and it is not without that kind of stupidity.

Modern scientists have studied that generally speaking, the eldest son is better, because the eldest son is the first child, he is more cared for, he will be more valued, and the nutrition and care will be better, so the eldest son is better. This is the conclusion reached by modern scientists after research and comparison.

However, this kind of thing can only be said, and it depends on the will of God. It's better, not necessarily better. In Chinese history, there are no examples of mediocre eldest sons.

Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing to establish an heir too early. He remembered that many princes in history were forced to be very bitter like this, and the end was not very good, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who won the crown prince, is an example.

There is also Kangxi, who won the Kowloon throne in his later years, and many people are familiar with him. In fact, Li Chen has a lot of heirs, and if he lives to Kangxi's age, the Kowloon heir may also be staged. At that time, the prince may be even more difficult to do, there is an old immortal above, and there are many younger brothers below.

Don't say far, just say that Su Zong is good. After establishing himself as the crown prince, he had a very hard life, and he stayed up for twenty years, just like I just said, there is an old immortal above, and he is not the eldest son, and many younger brothers below are looking forward to him making mistakes, and even looking forward to him dying.

In order to avoid this situation, from Kangxi, he thought of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's system of establishing reserves, making a box and establishing a reserve, which can not only allow people who still have hope for David to compete with each other, but also will not let the eldest son bear too much pressure, and it may not be you anyway. He was able to slowly select the best heirs from among his sons, and he also maintained the stability of the regime.

The Manchus could do this, and the Tang Dynasty could? Li Chen also thought about it. The Manchus did not have a definite succession system, and those ministers did not dare to fight to the death like the Ming Dynasty. The Manchu Emperor would really use murder, not a court staff, to express his dissatisfaction.

Don't talk about the struggle, the Manchu Qing Dynasty won those Han ministers, and no one dared to use smear, like smearing the Ming emperor, to discredit the Qing Dynasty. If you dare to scribble, you will be dragged out and whipped after you die, and even your children and grandchildren will fall down. The Manchurians killed these Hanchens, and that was called a ruthless one.

Li Chen doesn't need to rely on killing, anyway, Datang has no tradition to establish anyone. The background for the implementation of the secret reserve system is there.

In addition to not wanting to set up a prince too early, and considering the secret reserve system, there is another reason why he is not in a hurry to establish a prince, his body is actually quite good, although he has lived past the average life expectancy of the Tang Emperor, but many of them have died by themselves, dragging down the average worth.

Putting those aside, the Tang Emperor actually lived past Wu ten years old, no problem, Gaozu and Xuanzong even had to live longer. In other words, as long as the Li family does not die by themselves, they actually have longevity genes in their bodies. All kinds of reasons add up, he actually has no intention of making a prince, take a look at it slowly, I really feel that I can't do it, and I will talk about it when the time comes.

He was conflicted, and although he always reminded himself that his time was short, he felt that as long as he did not die, he would not die too soon. He usually pays attention to physical health, does not fall into daily exercise, eats simply, can't help fish, and eats vegetables and fruits. There is no pill to take when he is dizzy, theoretically speaking, his lifespan may not be lost to Xuanzong.

All these things add up, he did not establish a prince, but there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, he didn't expect that an accident fell into the water and caused him to be in a coma for three days. It's true that if you don't die, you won't die, you don't take pills, but you change tricks to kill yourself, is this also the Li family's genes?

During his coma, because he was unconscious, several prime ministers, as well as several of his concubines, together with his old mother, the Zheng family, negotiated and made his eldest son Li Zhen the crown prince.

During that period, the fact that he was in a coma was temporarily kept secret, and Li Chen set a series of plans, a series of propaganda plans, to build momentum for the attack on the grassland, in case the news of Li Chen's critical illness came out at this time, the whole plan would be in vain. The plan is in vain, and the worst thing is that the political situation in the Tang Dynasty is turbulent.

Li Chen's illness was too sudden, he didn't explain anything about the aftermath, and he didn't announce it, but the prime ministers were also buying time. On the first day, they announced that Li Chen let his eldest son Li Cheng supervise the state affairs, and he was in the internship stage, so he couldn't interfere, he could only watch. Then Li Chen did not come forward and temporarily let Li Cheng watch the government.

This order has not been questioned for the time being, it is not so simple to establish a prince, Li Chen is not dead yet, he must come forward himself. It doesn't matter if it's just a matter of watching politics.

However, the prime minister also prepared for the worst, in case Li Chen really didn't wake up, he would make Li Cheng the crown prince, and the Zheng family would come forward to preside over it at that time.

Fortunately, Li Chen was not critically ill, and he did not wake up after being in a coma for too long. It's just that after Li Chen woke up, he wasn't very happy, although it was not really implemented, this can be regarded as a prince. When he first woke up, Li Wei was discussing with the prime minister, which is why he didn't rush over.

This made Li Chen very dissatisfied, I'm not dead yet, can you not be in such a hurry. He had a sense of betrayal. However, seeing that he cared so much about his family, he temporarily suppressed this feeling.

After that, he lay down for a few more days, showed up when he was sick, and continued to rest for a few more days. He calmed down. If you think about it carefully, the prime minister did the right thing, if he really can't afford to get sick, the country will be in chaos. If the heirs are not stable and excessive, the country does not know what will become of chaos. Their choice is the best choice.

And they didn't make a decision alone, and they also discussed it with the Zheng family and several of his concubines, if he had to be more serious, there would be no credible person around him.

This matter, to put it mildly, is not good for him, if he doesn't mess around, there will be no accidents, and if he establishes the heir as soon as possible, he won't mess up when things come to an end. In the end, he still recognized the reasonableness of this matter and officially established Li Cheng's status.

It's time to set up, his plan is almost over, he set up the prince, just let the prince supervise the country, and he led the officials of the political hall and the Privy Council, and went straight to Youzhou, personally sat in the town, and supervised the front line of the army.

Moreover, he actually didn't want to sit for too long, he always felt that an emperor would sit for too long, and he would always have some faint tricks in his later years. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Xuanzong are all famous examples, who lived too long, became mediocre and confused in their later years, and lost their fame for a lifetime.

He has been on the throne for a long time, an emperor, for more than ten or twenty years, he thinks it is just right. It is best to ascend the throne in your thirties, and then abdicate for more than ten years. In his thirties, the prime time of a formal person is both impulsive and stable enough. It would be nice if you had some previous practical experience.

Then ten or twenty years will be enough time for him to display his ambitions without being too confused. In his later years, he did a lot of absurdity, and it seemed to be a bit boastful, which was simply self-introduction.

However, this was his truest thought of the emperor before he crossed over. Like the presidents of later generations, they are all over fifty or sixty years old. That would be too conservative. Steady is steady, that is, too mature, the ministry will be aggressive.

Young Emperor... The young man has never suffered hardship, he is very tolerant and radical, and he will collapse at the slightest setback. Like Yang Guang, he also wanted to make a difference at that time, but he was too young and positive, but he lacked experience in the world.

So, he's just right now. Set up a prince, let the prince start to supervise the country, learn government affairs, and wait for a few years, he can retire, or even simply stare at his legs, and there will be nothing to worry about. Although he can't do it, he can at least ensure the next generation.

As for the establishment of the eldest son, although it does not conform to his ideas, and he is not very satisfied with the inheritance of the eldest son, but in the past, the primogeniture system is a kind of protection. Of course, this is a kind of restriction, no matter whether the eldest son is virtuous or stupid, he must be appointed. But wasn't he prepared for it a long time ago?

The king is not necessarily virtuous, but as long as there is a good system, the energy must continue to produce a prime minister, a qualified prime minister, he is virtuous enough. The king is not necessarily virtuous, but if he can fight for the position of prime minister, he will not be mediocre. The emperor, it doesn't hurt to be a rubber stamp, in the constitutional monarchy of later generations, the king has no real power, the power is in the prime minister, to that point, the emperor is virtuous or not virtuous.

It doesn't even matter who you pass it on. However, for the time being, it is better to maintain a stable primogeniture. This one is the least controversial. Datang really needs a stable inheritance. Although the Ming Dynasty had a succession system, it made people feel very dumbfounded, and those courtiers could continue to fight for it, and there were also various "big ceremonies" incidents.

However, the Tang Dynasty lacked this spirit of resistance and this kind of persistence, which allowed the eunuchs to mess with the government. It's not good for anyone to mess with politics, but if he has a choice, he would rather mess with his courtiers, or give chaos to the eunuchs, and the emperor will even lose his life. As for the usurpation of the throne, unless the emperor is stupid enough to give military power to the prime minister who is responsible for the administration, it is impossible to replace him like Cao Wei usurped the Han.

If he wants to make a prince, he has to solve a problem. This requires a new set of rituals, originally set up the prince's edict, should have let the Zhongshu and the province of the door to sign the book, theoretically without their signature, but these two provinces have long been abolished by Li Chen. Li Chen reformulated a routine, which required the endorsement of the governors of the five provinces.

Li Chen asked the five governors of the Political Affairs Hall, the Criminal Department, the Imperial History Tower, the Examination Department, and the Privy Council to get signatures, and then officially announced to the world that Li Cheng was appointed as the crown prince.

After establishing the crown prince, he can go out of Beijing. Give the prince a little space, and he can also take the opportunity to do something. However, as mentioned earlier, in order to be able to go out of Beijing, he played some tricks and vented his dissatisfaction with the prime minister's unauthorized establishment of the prince.

"If it's all right, it's settled." After discussing it for a long time, Li Chen made a decision, the four or five capitals have to be planned, which cannot be changed, and the establishment of a new capital in Youzhou will help control the grassland and develop the north.

The Bohai State had already been brought into his hands, and in addition to controlling the other party's economy, he began to adopt various policies to slowly assimilate the local people. In the future, development efforts will be intensified, and the goal is to control the entire Bohai Sea, and the Bohai Sea will be merged into Datang. It's part of his whole plan.

When the time comes, the railway will go out of the jam from here and extend to the Bohai region. After that, there will be an endless influx of immigrants. Youzhou will become more and more prosperous, and a large number of materials and people will enter the grasslands and the Bohai Kingdom from here, so as to develop the entire north.

Therefore, Youzhou is bound to carry out large-scale development, but Li Chen has not yet decided on the details. Today is a decision, in ten years, a Xiongcheng that does not lose to Chang'an will appear on the northern land. In addition to being not inferior to Chang'an in scale, Youzhou will also be a model for Datang urban planning.

"Quiet, quiet." Ye Lan yelled, "We can't go back now, it's a trick of the Tang dogs, they can't do it." "You Khitans don't care, what should we do with the Xi people, if the Tang people really do it, we should all die."

"Yes, will you force us to play as strikers when the time comes, just to the death. Do you just sit and watch, if the Tang people's plan is implemented, we will not have a good time if we are buried in the Xi Department."

"We're all on the move now, and we want to go back? That clearly shows that the Tang people kidnapped us to go back, I think I don't believe it, if you can't stand it, you can go to the Tang. We Khitans are proud eagles on the grassland, and we will never give in."

When he arrived in Youzhou, Li Chen was discussing how to build the city, and he didn't care much about the front line, and the battle situation was going according to his ideas, but there was a commotion on the grassland, and the various departments gathered again, this time discussing how to deal with the grassland in the Tang Dynasty.

According to the news from the Khitan Yelu Department and other adventurers who stayed in front and detected the movements of the Tang Dynasty, the Datang used extremely vicious tricks this time to completely destroy the grassland, which made them panic again, and they had already decided to migrate to the north to avoid the tribes of the Tang Dynasty, and began to discuss whether to fight with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang people are too ruthless, and this trick is to completely cut off their roots.
