Li Shimin thought about it, this can actually be seen from history, take the Western Regions as an example, the location of the Yumen Pass in the Han Dynasty has actually been ruled by all dynasties, but it has never been stable here.

To be precise, when the dynasty was first established, the Western Regions were the most difficult area to defeat, and when the dynasty fell, the Western Regions were also the first areas to be lost in turmoil. And the distance from the Western Regions to Guanzhong, if the army has been marching, it will not even be a month.

"I agree." Li Shimin nodded.

"Well, then the second question, I don't know if Your Majesty has ever worried about a problem." Huo Gang said lightly.

"What?" Li Shimin asked with some doubts.

"Your Majesty launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, whether it is because Your Majesty is responsible for the safety of his ministers, generals, and your children, or for the sake of the world, it has always made a bad start, does Your Majesty agree with this?" Huo Gang asked in a calm tone.

As soon as Huo Gang's words came out, Li Ji and Du Ruhui were shocked, and subconsciously set their eyes on Li Shimin, in Chang'an, these words ...... If anyone dared to say anything to Li Shimin, Li Shimin would have been furious a long time ago, if Li Shimin was here......

To their surprise, Li Shimin's expression was extremely calm, without the slightest look of anger, but nodded very simply: "Yes, I did make a bad start." ”

"So have you ever thought about how Your Majesty's many princes will deal with themselves when you are old?" Huo Gang asked the second question that made Li Ji and Du Ruhui's scalps tingle.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, paused, and then Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I have actually thought about the problem of Leader Huo not only once, I have even had such nightmares several times, dreaming of my son killing each other. ”

Li Ji and Du Ruhui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, these words ...... Li Shimin didn't tell anyone, and it is estimated that Empress Changsun may not know, but they heard it now. But Li Shimin told Huo Gang.

In fact, what they don't understand is that after Li Shimin came here, he first thought that Huo Gang was regarded as a person with the same status as him in his heart, especially after Huo Gang met him, he said a few questions, and showed a talent that Li Shimin was extremely envious, Li Shimin paid more attention to Huo Gang's words.

No one in Chang'an dared to say such a thing to Li Shimin, that was because Li Shimin was the emperor, and everyone else was a courtier, so to speak, the emperor was lonely, and there were almost no equal people with him. In his heart, he will subconsciously think that it is disrespectful for these courtiers to dare to tell him this.

But this kind of problem, if it is a person who can communicate with you on an equal footing, then similarly, the probability of getting angry is naturally much smaller.

Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, to be honest, Huo Gang also has some admiration, at least the current Li Shimin is indeed not angry, but just like a friend in the later life, chatting with Huo Gang.

It's just that what Li Shimin doesn't know is that his son is much more murderous than him.

Of course, this didn't happen, and Huo Gang couldn't have said it.

"Your Majesty has such thoughts, it's actually normal, human nature, to be honest, I actually agree with Your Majesty's approach." Huo Gang made a gesture first.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Gang's words came out, Li Shimin was immediately shocked and asked, "Oh? The leader thinks I'm doing the right thing? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty will know from me, first of all, although it is rumored that the eldest son is orthodox, then Duke Du, General Li, let me ask, assuming that the eldest son of the emperor of a country is a straw bale, and the second son is a virtuous person, is this orthodoxy necessary to support?" Huo Gang asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, a wise emperor is more important to the country than anything else." Du Ruhui didn't even hesitate, and said directly. This kind of question Du Ruhui naturally won't answer wrong.

"You see, Your Majesty, Duke Du also said it, but this will lead to a problem, if you don't give it to the eldest son, then the eldest son will definitely be unconvinced, but if you give it to the eldest son, the second son will also be unconvinced, what should I do?" Huo Gang asked with a smile.

"yes, what should I do?" Li Shimin looked at Huo Gang and asked, he intuitively felt that Huo Gang had a good way.

"It's very simple, there is a saying that it is not toxic, if there is anything, I will pick it up and say it at the first time, and talk openly and honestly with my son, so that we can untie the knot between the two sides, once there is a contradiction, it will cause trouble for a long time, but this talk, naturally there is a solution to the problem, then the problem is very simple."

"Your Majesty, please look here." Huo Gang picked up a thin bamboo pole and pointed directly to the Southeast Asian region of the later generations, which was not the place of the Tang Dynasty.

"Here, there is fertile land, there is rice that can be harvested three times a year, but this is not the land of the Tang Dynasty, if Your Majesty is ready to pass on the throne to the eldest son, but the second son and the third son are talented, what should I do?"

"Tell them, there is a piece of land here, you can give soldiers, give people, as long as they take down here, they can rule here, and even they don't have to pay tribute to Datang or anything like that, after all, it is a strip of water with Datang, this is another country, and your second son is the emperor here! As long as Your Majesty gives you support in front, it is not too easy to beat down these places! ”

"At that time, although this is another country, do you think he will come back with his brother to compete for Datang? Especially when he knows there's more land around him? Huo Gang asked with a smile.

After Huo Gang said this, he saw that Li Shimin's eyes seemed to be glowing, it was really as if they were glowing, and they were scary!

And Du Ruhui and Li Ji also took a deep breath and looked at each other, Huo Gang said...... It's like opening a spell for Li Shimin! The most important thing is that both Du Ruhui and Li Ji feel ...... It's a really good idea.

"Your Majesty, if this place is ruled by the Tang Dynasty, only officials will be sent, because there are very few local Han people, etc., with the passage of time, this place will inevitably regain its independence, but if you give it to a prince and tell him that you can build a completely new country, then the situation will be different."

"As long as you give this prince support craftsmen and troops, with the talent of this prince, then in his lifetime, he will definitely be able to stabilize the local rule, with the back of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he continues to popularize Chinese in the local area, promote the Chinese language, the same as the Tang Dynasty, the same book, the same track, as long as two generations, no matter what, this place will not be able to escape the rule of your Li royal family!"

"Then Your Majesty, think about it again, here, here, here......" Huo Gang was in a mess on the map of the Philippines, Japan, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, etc., "Your Majesty can imagine, what would happen if these places were your son's country?" How will it be recorded in the history books? ”

"Whew......" Li Shimin's breathing became heavy.

And Du Ruhui and Li Ji glanced at each other, and then they couldn't help but smile bitterly, they suddenly felt ...... Huo Gang is poisonous...... This demagogic power...... It's so perverted.

The question is...... Huo Gang's method ...... It works!

Why are these princes fighting? Isn't it because there's no way? A capable prince, but as long as he has a choice, who the wants to be a prince who eats and waits for death? But there is only one throne, if you don't want to eat and wait for death, you can only fight.

The question is, between brothers, once they start fighting, it is a life-and-death situation, because those who do not sit in that position want to sit in that position, and those who sit in that position are afraid of those ambitious brothers rebelling, so can they not kill them?

To tell the truth, Du Ruhui thought about it carefully, if Li Shimin had such a choice, and Li Yuan was willing to give support, so that Li Shimin would become the founding emperor of a country, Li Shimin would ...... It is estimated that he may not compete with his eldest brother for the throne.

Many people can only take risks when they have no choice, and risk that failure is the death of the whole family, but now once they succeed, not only will they have the same glory and wealth, but also be the emperor, and the probability of failure is very small.

It's nothing more than a different place to live, but where are the palaces and beauties?

"Is this what the leader wants to work with me?" Li Shimin turned his head, forcibly calmed his emotions, and looked at Huo Gang with bright eyes and asked.

"Not bad." Huo Gang nodded directly, then picked up the brush from the side, dipped it directly in ink, and then directly drew a long black line on the map, taking the border between the current Han and the Tang Dynasty as the line, and the south side followed the Qilian Mountains to the west to the Himalayas, and then drew an arc to the south, until the vicinity of Bangladesh in the later world, and then directly to the south into the sea.

To the north, it was almost the later Gansu Inner Mongolia dividing line all the way up, and then directly to the Yenisei River.

After the stroke, Huo Gang directly threw the brush in his hand on the desk next to him with a "snap", and regardless of the splashed ink, he said directly in a calm tone: "So, I think it is to talk about cooperation with Your Majesty, with this line as the boundary, hand it over to Your Majesty in the east to your Datang, and hand it over to my Dahan in the west." ”

"We cooperate with each other, communicate with each other, this vast world, how much can be laid, even if it is many, such a large piece of land, there are countless strange countries handed over to me to conquer, I don't want to fight with the Tang Dynasty that can be called the same origin and the same clan with me, because we fight too much, at best, it is not enough to fight in the nest, rather than have the energy to fight in the nest, I would rather fight these Western barbarians."

"My wish is very simple, the whole world speaks Chinese, writes Chinese characters, cars on the same track, books on the same text, uses the same currency, inherits the same cultural customs, even if the future generations are divided into many countries, when the time comes, everyone speaks Chinese, writes Chinese characters, this world, no matter how future generations toss, will always play in our own territory!"
