Chapter 315: The Tang Dynasty (5)

"Chang Lin!" Li Shimin did not continue to speak, but spoke directly and loudly.

Chang Lin, who was waiting outside the door, immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and behind him were several little eunuchs, who walked in with a map made of long sheepskin in their hands, which was not the one Huo Gang gave to Li Shimin.

That one has been treasured by Li Shimin, to be precise, that map is too big, Li Shimin temporarily put it away, and this map was made by Li Shimin on the road, and when Li Shimin did not return to Chang'an City, in fact, someone had already come back in advance.

And these things have been made a long time ago.

Chang Lin quickly hung this thing on the wall of a room prepared in advance next to it, and then after Chang Lin opened this thing, he quickly retreated.

This map is one size smaller than the one Huo Gang gave to Li Shimin, and when it was opened, it immediately attracted the attention of all the concubines, especially the terrain, markings, and various names on it, these concubines immediately recognized it, this is the map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty...... No, it should be said...... Is it a map of the world's borders?

Because they found that Datang occupies a very small space on this map.

And there are many country names around Datang! But they are not as detailed as the interior of Datang, but some large cities still have them.

"Your Majesty, this is?" Empress Eldest Sun asked with some curiosity.

"I called you here today to tell you something, that is, I have already made a decision, my crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, do not establish a long, Lixian!" Li Shimin said his decision loudly!

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, all the concubines were directly stunned! Lichang naturally has an advantage over whoever is born first, unless there is a major problem, otherwise it will be the prince, but Lixian's words...... Then it's different.

This means that the more virtuous the prince, it is possible to sit on the throne, which means that all the princes have a chance.

"As for why I showed you this, it's because I was an ally with Huo Gang, and Huo Gang also gave me an idea, I will tell you about this matter today, that is, there are some things I want to explain to you." Li Shimin glanced at everyone lightly and said.

"In the future, all the princes of my Tang Dynasty can fight for the throne, including Li Ke I just said, but in the same way, if you fight for the throne, then you can fight for it above board! Fight for your knowledge, your wisdom, and your ability to do things for others! And not cannibalism! ”

"All those who fight for the throne by framing their own brothers and other ministers, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people! But if you fight with integrity, then no matter who you are, you have a chance. ”

"Of course, who will be the crown prince in the end is naturally the emperor's decision."

"But for others who can't be princes, I'll give them a way out." Li Shimin said very simply, "Two ways, the first is if you are willing to be an idle prince, I will give him some of the wealth from the inner treasury at that time, and let him play casually, whether he is a prodigal in the world or a rich prince, it is up to him." ”

"Second, if he doesn't want to be an idle prince and wants to make a career, then I give him this opportunity to see these places? Eastern Turkic, Goguryeo, Murwei and other countries around the Tang Dynasty, I want soldiers for soldiers, and I want people for people, and if he fights down, then I will help him build the country! I will give him a world and leave it to him to govern! In the early stage, Datang can give him the support of various populations and troops! ”

Li Shimin pointed to the small countries around the map and said categorically.

With Li Shimin's words, all the concubines were stunned, if it weren't for the fact that there were only their husbands and wives here, if this was above the court, Li Shimin's words, I am afraid that he would not be sprayed to death by these ministers, because for these ministers, the countries around here, they are all friendly countries, they are all subject countries!

This Tang Dynasty did something to these subject countries, even if it was not to be criticized?

If it was Li Shimin who cared about this before, but now Li Shimin doesn't care anymore, because Li Shimin found out that when you are strong, these subject countries treat you as a subject country, and when you are not strong, they care about your fart! I'm going to hit you when it's time to hit you! Instead of this, it's better to find an excuse and kill him directly!

After it is destroyed, when he rules for his son, at least for a few decades, with his back to the Tang Dynasty, his son's country also forcibly implements the policies of the Tang Dynasty, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, and after a few decades, these countries will be independent in the future, but if they want to get rid of the influence of the Tang Dynasty, it will be almost impossible!

And looking at that large area of land, Li Shimin thought very clearly, if his son really went out to establish a few countries, and if the son who inherited his throne could fight down dozens of countries, wouldn't the land in the world be their Li family sooner or later?

Think about the change of dynasty in the past, if the surrounding countries are all relatives of the Li royal family, then in the future, even if the Tang Dynasty encounters a few losers, then these surrounding countries will not be able to help? Then again, even if they don't help, these countries will fight Datang in turn, and if they fight down, even if they are not still called Datang! Because they are born of the same root!

Huo Gang's sentence Li Shimin felt very right, the meat was rotten in the pot, anyway, they were all his son's descendants, and the fat and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders! Take the danger he encountered this time, if he is killed by Jieli, then if Jieli defeats Datang, will Jieli be called Datang? Will it leave him a way for the descendants of the Li family to live?

Definitely not! But if Jieli and these Turks gradually became Tang people in the process of being ruled by the Tang Dynasty, although they are two countries, what if they will fight each other in the future? has the same culture, the same birth, the same ancestors, even if the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by him, but isn't this Datang still in the hands of his descendants Li Shimin?

There is no perfect strategy in the world, but Huo Gang's practice of rotting meat in the pot is the best way in Li Shimin's opinion!

Of course, this does not completely eliminate cannibalism, but he, Li Shimin, is not a saint, and he cannot decide everything.

The most important thing is the establishment of a perfect and reasonable system, if he can establish a reasonable rule for these princes to compete for the throne without killing each other, then as long as this tradition is formed, even later dynasties will still compete for the throne in the future, but after the prince fails, he will not fall into ruin, right?

In fact, Li Shimin has vaguely grasped the meaning of what Huo Gang said, in fact, there is a big question here, why did these princes rebel? Take him Li Shimin as an example, if he doesn't rebel, his brother will die when he takes the throne, and his family will die.

But why is he going to die, his family is going to die? Because he has a large number of people behind him, these people don't want to die, so they must rebel if they push Li Shimin, because if Li Shimin doesn't rebel, then they have to die, and his brother is afraid of these people, so he will definitely do it.

This is an invisible knot, then, if it is said that the forces behind these supporting princes are the failure of the supporting princes, these forces will not get the retaliation of the new emperor, at this time, are these forces still willing to rebel?! You must know that the success rate of rebellion has not been high since ancient times!

If there is no support from the forces behind him, simply if this prince fails, will the emperor who ascends the throne be afraid of him? Of course not to be afraid! Because he doesn't have any strength in his hands, what is he afraid of? If you are not afraid, the new emperor will naturally not kill him.

Li Shimin feels that this is the right way to do it, but although he has thought about it at present, but he does not have a reasonable clue, Li Shimin feels that he has to think about it carefully, it is best to come up with a reasonable method and system, to be able to achieve such conditions, in his lifetime, as long as he can do it to such an extent, then he still has to fear that his descendants will kill each other?

Li Shimin thought thoroughly, but these concubines were in a bit of a trance, so if the son of the Tang Dynasty failed to fight for the throne, then the Tang Dynasty supported them to destroy a country, and then let them go outside to be an emperor themselves? This...... The concubines didn't know what to say, but they always had a strange feeling.

"Your Majesty, forgive the concubine for speaking bluntly." At this time, the eldest grandson queen who had come back to her senses couldn't help but speak.

"Guanyin, you say." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"I believe that with Your Majesty's eloquence, you can do this, but if Your Majesty does this, will it not be criticized for being reckless, and if you start a war with so many countries at the same time, will our Datang be able to hold it? Are there so many soldiers? Empress Eldest Sun said with some concern.

"Haha." Li Shimin couldn't help laughing twice, this question, in fact, when he talked to Huo Gang, he also asked, and later Huo Gang explained to him, the biggest difference between this method and the previous one is that they couldn't hold the Tang Dynasty in the past, that was because they were only stationed in the local army, but after the garrison was local, the families of those soldiers were in the mainland.

Their logistical supplies all need the support of Datang, so these border troops are like kites, and the line is easy to break.

But in this way, no matter how many soldiers will come to support them with their families and migrating people, to put it bluntly, these people will multiply there for generations in this life! In other words, that place is their home!

These people are no longer kites, but have planted a tree there.

The kite string is easy to shorten, but if the small tree survives, it is also a tree, and it cannot be scraped casually, and after a few years, when the young tree grows up, it is even less likely to die!

And because of the natural closeness of this new country to Datang, the border armies of both sides do not need to place too many people, and the occupation of Datang's troops is not too large, and the trade and other exchanges between the two sides will soon stabilize the two countries!

The most important thing is that Huo Gang told him from personal experience that the people of Turkic and other nomadic peoples are also people, and the people of the world all have the same idea, that is, as long as they live well, fools and idiots will rebel.
