There is no doubt that if you die now, you will not only complete the traditional unification of China, but also completely recover the Northeast region, Keidi, Annam, Champong and other places, make the Age of Discovery, discover the new continent of the Prince's Continent, start the industrial revolution, create a large number of science and technology that affect the course of the world, promote the cultivation of high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., promote the birth of hybrid rice, popularize the cultivation of cotton and textile technology, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, and vigorously promote maritime trade. The economy of the Daqian Dynasty far exceeded that of any dynasty in history, and the government was harmonious, so that the people had confidence in the imperial court, and also created a dynasty that was invincible militarily and enhanced the self-confidence of the nation.

And many emperors in history have become old and confused because they have lived too long, and even become faint kings.

Longevity is the pursuit of all people since ancient times, after all, life is rare for seventy years, and it is considered a high life expectancy to live to ninety-nine, especially in this era.

While people want to live a long life, it turns out that sometimes living too long is not a good thing, especially for the most powerful emperors.

The emperor reigns over the world, holds the power of life and death, and slowly gets older, often begins to neglect government and enjoy himself.

This kind of thing is intolerable to loyal ministers, but traitors like it very much, so what followed was the outflow of loyal ministers, and a large number of traitors and villains squeezed into the court, which directly led to the miasma of the entire court, and then the decline of the country's fortunes.

The most typical is Li Longji, the Tang Xuanzong who created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

After Li Longji launched the Tang Long Revolution and the Congenital Change and grasped the real power of the Tang Dynasty, he began to appoint a series of capable ministers such as Yao Chong and Song Jing to make great efforts, and after the rule of Zhenguan, he created a prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the country's strength won praise at home and abroad.

In the midst of praise, Li Longji was complacent, began to get carried away, gradually became arrogant and lascivious, and lost the patience to humbly accept advice in his early years, so Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others began to enter the imperial court, and with Yang Yuhuan's entry into the palace, the degree of Li Longji's neglect of government was further accelerated.

Later, Yang Guozhong appointed by Li Longji and An Lushan, who favored him, were a pair of living treasures, and they did not like each other, and under Li Longji's indulgence, they finally led to the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty was also eliminated in Yang Yuhuan's gentle township, followed by the division of feudal towns and the chaos of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

In addition to Li Longji, there are many such examples in history, and there are many emperors who are similar to him or even almost identical.

What these emperors have in common is that they lived too long, they worked hard in the early stage, and they were extravagant in the later stage.

For example, Xiao Yan of Southern Liang, he was originally a remote clan of Southern Qi, and later launched a mutiny to seize power, he just took office as diligent as he handled business, appointed virtuous people, and swept away the decadent atmosphere of Southern Qi, but he reigned for forty-eight years, with the stability of state affairs, he began to be obsessed with Buddhism, and gave up his life many times.

And every time Xiao Yan became a monk, he had to spend a huge amount of money on redemption.

Later, Xiao Yan was confused, and accepted Hou Jing, a man who fled to Nanliang.

After accepting Hou Jing, Xiao Yan distrusted Hou Jing because Hou Jing was a Qian, which eventually led Hou Jing to rebel again, led the army to attack Jiankang, captured Xiao Yan, and finally starved Xiao Yan to death, and Nanliang soon perished.

There is also Qianlong, who lived to be eighty-nine years old, in his early years, he was also diligent and pro-government, and there was absolutely no major mistake in state affairs.

The most significant change is that forty years after Qianlong, the development of Heshen.

The appearance of He Shen directly caused the Qing Dynasty court, which had a good atmosphere, to be in a miasma, and the ministers attacked each other.

However, because of Heshen's excellent financial management ability, Qianlong saved a lot of trouble, and Qianlong's dependence on Heshen became heavier and heavier.

And what He Shen repaid Qianlong was to fill his own pockets, and finally became the number one greed.

After the deaths of Qianlong and Heshen, the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse.

From this point of view, it seems that Li Cun is dead now, which is really a very good thing.

But the problem is that Li Cun is not only healthy now, but he can also control five or seven women at night without getting tired, and his health is so good that he is even stronger than those seventeen or eighteen-year-old strong guys, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he will die in a short time.

Suicide?

That Li Cun may be laughed out of his big teeth by crossing the circle.

The key is that although Li Cun's current achievements are not bad, let alone compared with those buddies who have crossed the circle, they are not comparable to some fierce men and strongmen in history.

Let's put it this way.

Has the steppe Li Cun recovered?

Did Li Cun recover in Western Xia?

Has Tubo Li Cun recovered?

Has Dali Li Cun recovered?

Has Li Cun recovered in the Western Regions?

Not to mention that compared with Temujin and his descendants, who laid down half of the known world at that time, Li Cun could not even compare with most of the great unified dynasties in China in history.

To be honest, the current Daqian Dynasty is estimated to be able to beat the Zhao and Song dynasties, which have not completed the unification, and slightly surpass the three dynasties of Qin, Jin, and Sui.

- Of course, this does not include the Prince's Continent, if it is counted, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty can be larger than that of the Daqian Dynasty.

And if you don't count the prince's continent, the territory of the Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, which one of the Daqian Dynasty can really compare?

And, let's not forget, the world is not limited to China, which is less than half of its territory, there is a wider territory outside.

The key is that Li Cun has given birth to so many children and grandchildren, if you don't settle them all, how can you let Li Cun retire and wait for death with peace of mind?

Therefore, after Li Cun happily played in his harem for almost a whole year, Li Cun slowly returned to government affairs.

The reason why Li Cun went out of the mountain again was mainly because Li Cun found that under the auspices of Li Biao, the destruction of the Western Xia by the Daqian Dynasty was progressing very slowly.

To be fair, there are actually quite a few reasons for this:

For example, the cadres need to make preliminary preparations, such as transferring troops, preparing grain, grass, and heavy weapons and equipment, and building a railway in the Hengshan area, and so on......

Like, the diplomacy of the Western Xia side is doing well, seeing that the Great Qian Dynasty is going to attack the Western Xia, the Western Xia side is actively preparing for war, and at the same time repeatedly sends envoys to the Great Qian Dynasty to express that the Western Xia is willing to become a vassal state of the Great Qian Dynasty and will never rebel, and at the same time pay all kinds of tribute to the Great Qian Dynasty, just the Western Xia beauties, they gave Li Cunjin 300, in addition, the Xixia Dynasty also bought a large number of ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty to persuade Li Biao not to attack the Western Xia.

In their opinion, the Great Qian Dynasty has already played a role in subjugating the army without a fight, and the Western Xia is no longer a threat to the Great Qian Dynasty, and there is really no need to exterminate the Western Xia, so they can keep the Western Xia and let the Western Xia help the Great Qian Dynasty defend against the Hu people on the grassland, the Tubo people in the southwest and the countries of the Western Regions. Also, if this battle is not opened, the Daqian Dynasty will definitely win, and if this battle is opened, if the Daqian Dynasty loses, then it will inevitably hurt the national prestige of the Daqian Dynasty, and instead let the Western Xia get out of the control of the Daqian Dynasty, just like the original Zhao and Song Dynasty.

For example, Li Biao put more energy into governing the Daqian Dynasty, and did not pay much attention to the elimination of Western Xia to open up territory for the Daqian Dynasty.

For example, Li Biao put more energy into governing the Daqian Dynasty, and did not pay much attention to the elimination of Western Xia to open up territory for the Daqian Dynasty.

For example, Li Biao, who has experienced two years of war, doesn't seem to like war very much, of course, this is also because, although Li Cun has been teaching Li Biao, Li Biao has been influenced by a lot of Confucianism, and he advocates benevolence from the bottom of his heart.

In short, almost a year has passed since the formulation of the strategic strategy of the Western Xia, but there has been no progress at all, and even now, the Daqian Dynasty has not officially started a war with the Western Xia.

Li Cun has always been very clear about this.

After all, the Great Liang family, the Xiao Liang family, the Li family, the only daughter of Brother Richard, and the beauties that Xixia recently presented to Li Cunjin are all blowing the pillow wind to Li Cun, how can Li Cun not know that Xixia has been begging to be let go?

The key is that although Li Cun let Li Biao take care of the government, this does not mean that Li Cun will take care of everything and be a hands-off shopkeeper, in fact, Li Cun has been staring more closely than ever before during this period of time - this period is also the busiest period for Wu Desi, the pro-military Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department, because they not only have to keep a close eye on Li Biao's every move, but also closely monitor every move of all the ministers and generals of the Daqian Dynasty.

The reason why Li Cun has been standing still is only because Li Cun wants to see how Li Biao will deal with these things that he may experience in the future, and in addition, Li Cun does not want to hand over the government to Li Biao so soon while pointing fingers at Li Biao's policy.

Of course, this premise is also that everything is in Li Cun's control.

As a result, after Li Biao came to power, he mainly grasped the dereliction of duty of officials, Li Biao first started from himself, was diligent in political affairs, came to Li Cun early in the morning every day to ask for peace, and then went to review the chapter and summoned the minister to discuss government affairs. The phenomenon of procrastination and delay is strictly rejected. Not long ago, Li Biao's second son was born, and the cabinet considered that Li Biao must be happy, and was afraid that the sending of the concert would affect Li Biao's mood, and Li Biao severely reprimanded this practice after knowing about it. Li Biao also repeatedly asked local officials to keep a clear picture of the people's hidden feelings, report the truth, and vigorously guard against the trends of bullying, whitewashing, and laziness.

In terms of economy, education, and people's livelihood, Li Biao strictly followed the line formulated by Li Cun, and did not have any tendency to reform.

To sum up, Li Cun's evaluation of Li Biao is that he is more than successful and not enterprising, and it is unlikely that he will continue to expand the territory to eliminate the grassland tribes, eliminate the Western Xia, eliminate the Tubo, eliminate Dali, and eliminate the Western Regions to continue to strengthen the Daqian Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Cun left Wenrou Township and personally took back the matter of Vaxi Xia.

However, Li Cun did not criticize Li Biao and hit Li Biao's prestige and self-confidence, but called Wu Jie and Chen Yu back and reprimanded them.

Wu Jue and Chen Yu were very aggrieved, the imperial court was slow to let them do it, how could they dare to send troops without the right to transfer troops?

In fact, Wu Jue and Chen Yu don't know how many times they have given the imperial court, urging the imperial court to start a war as soon as possible, and also making it clear that the opportunity will not come again, but the imperial court always delays the time of the war, and always wants to meddle in the affairs of the front line, and even the strategic strategy that they and Li Cun have formulated wants to discuss anew.

Wu Jie and Chen Yu had no choice but to bypass the imperial court to give Li Cun a chapter, and let their daughters in Li Cun's harem also go to blow the pillow wind to Li Cun, and let Li Cun come out to take care of those ministers of the Lord and the Lord-Wu Jie and Chen Yu did not dare to let Li Cun take charge of Li Biao, so they could only euphemistically complain to Li Cun about some ministers in the court hindering them from attacking Western Xia.

This is actually one of the reasons why Li Cun came out to personally command Vaxi Xia.

was reprimanded by Li Cun symbolically, and the future Emperor Daqian could be exchanged for their political revenge to proceed normally, and Wu Jue and Chen Yu of course gladly accepted it.

What made Wu Jue and Chen Yu happy was that as soon as they reprimanded them, Li Cun immediately issued a holy decree, ordering them to wait for an opportunity to start a war, without reporting, and that any department or anyone involved in the front-line war must immediately and fully cooperate, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Li Cun's holy decree is clear, that is, to hand over the matter of the war against Western Xia to Wu Jue and Chen Yu and other commanders and commanders of the front line again, and even let Wu Jie and Chen Yu go back to discuss when to start a war against Western Xia, and no one or any department shall not only not interfere with Wu Jie and Chen Yu and their war against Western Xia, but must also give Wu Jie and Chen Yu the green light.

Wu Jie and Chen Yu immediately felt comfortable, thinking that either Li Cun was the first emperor of the ages, and Li Biao was no matter how virtuous he was, he couldn't compare with Li Cun at all.

Of course, there are also those who do not open their eyes, relying on Li Cun never punishing the officials, and strongly persuading Li Cun to start a war cautiously, saying that the Western Xia has completely surrendered to the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Great Qian Dynasty has played the result of surrendering without a fight, and the Western Xia can no longer become a threat to the Great Qian Dynasty, that is, the same set against Li Biao was used on Li Cun.

It's a pity that Li Cun is not Li Biao, so he won't be bluffed by these civil officials who don't want the Great Qian Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty to start, and their rhetoric has no effect on Li Cun at all.

As a result, Li Cun patiently listened to the speeches of the lords and civil officials, and without saying a word, he said: "I have made up my mind, so let's retreat." Then he sent these civil servants of the Lord and the faction.

These civil officials of the Lord and the faction also knew that Li Cun was not Li Biao, and although Li Cun usually accepted advice with an open mind, if Li Cun made up his mind to do something, it would never be something that anyone could stop him.

Plus, Li Cun never missed it.

Nor are these ministers confident that they are right.

As for those ministers who received the benefits of the Western Xia envoys, under Li Cun's eyes that seemed to know everything, they didn't even dare to let go of a fart.

As a result, Li Biao, who was so quarreled with the main battle faction and the main peace faction that he didn't even dare to take a big idea, took a year to fail to implement the matter of Vaxi Xia, and Li Cun began to implement it in a few words.

When all the ministers have retreated, only Li Cun and Li Biao, father and son, are left in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Li Biao took the initiative to say: "I disappointed my father, and my son knew that my father had not made a move, so he wanted to see how his son made this decision, but he often heard that soldiers, major events of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored, so he did not dare to go to war." ”

After listening to Li Biao's explanation, Li Biao said sincerely: "It's a good thing that you are stable by nature, and it's also a good thing that you don't like war. ”

Li Cun also said: "If you are unwilling to go to war for the sake of stability and development of the great cadres and for the sake of recuperation and recuperation with the people when my great cadres are so strong and strong, I am proud of you, and you will definitely be a good emperor in the future." ”

Hearing Li Cun say this, Li Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it was really because he knew the danger of starting the war that Li Biao did not dare to make this decision, after all, what those civilian officials said was actually very reasonable, and before the results came out, who would dare to say that it would be right to start a war against Western Xia?

Li Cun didn't tell a lie, a cautious emperor is indeed not easy to bring the dynasty into the abyss.

The best example is Zhao Ji.

If Zhao Ji was not so good and could be more cautious, the Zhao Song Dynasty might not have perished.

Therefore, Li Cun can't say that he is satisfied with Li Biao's choice, but he can accept it.

Just like Li Cun said, his successor is a benevolent monarch who keeps the success, and it actually helps a lot to consolidate their Li Gan's rule, like Liu Bang's successor, Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, who was lenient and benevolent in government, and during his reign, he formulated and implemented measures conducive to the social stability, economic development, and cultural prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty.

As for the matter of opening up the territory for the Daqian Dynasty, let Li Cun do it, after all, Li Cun's treasure knife is not old!!
