The biggest gap between the first generation and the second generation is in the heart.

Li Ke does not admit defeat, although he obeys Li Kuan, it does not mean that he thinks that his own vein has no possibility of rising.

So he desperately left a resourceful empire to his descendants, so that they would have better capital to compete with the descendants of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ren and others thought that they couldn't fight at all, and they had to use some other means.

The difference between the hearts of the two sides is too great.

"Big nephew, what you think is orthodox is not the same as what we elders think is orthodox."

"I never think it's a mistake for you to fight for orthodoxy, I just think you can't do it."

"Although Xiao Chang'an has not suppressed you, she has been taking the road of a dignified king."

"And now you want to use me to go the wrong way, this gap is really big."

"What I can tell you is that if you can lead the army of the New Sui into Chang'an and abdicate the empress, then I will crown you and prove that you are orthodox There is no problem."

"If you can't, then there's really no way I can give you orthodoxy because of blood."

Li Kuan said it very easily, this is his truest thought.

In Li Kuan's eyes, orthodoxy is actually not that important.

Especially the orthodoxy of blood.

After all, in ancient times, Huaxia was a society where stepsons had more inheritance rights than concubines.

Take Li Siyuan and others at the end of the Tang Dynasty as an example.

They don't have Li Tang blood at all, they just give Li Tang a surname.

Why do they dare to use the banner of Datang.

In the final analysis, it is because the surname is also considered to be the Li family.

This is in the past in legal terms.

If they really dominate the world and bring Tang into a prosperous era, and are willing to respect the Li Tang royal family and burn incense for Li Shimin.

By virtue of the law of giving surnames, it makes sense.

Therefore, in Li Kuan's eyes, Li Tang's orthodoxy needs to be fought by the sword, not by whose bloodline is noble.

Li Ren, Li Xuan and others were frightened by Li Kuan's words.

Is it really good to say it directly?

Seeing the incredulous expressions of several eldest nephews, Li Kuan shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, "There's nothing to believe." ”

"I'm telling the truth, and that's true."

"Moreover, when His Majesty Taizong was alive, I mentioned it to him, and his old man also agreed."

"The current empress also agrees."

"What's more, I've already executed it myself."

Li Kuan's faint words when he spoke again made Li Ren and the others feel complicated.

It turns out that everything has been decided a long time ago.

After Li Ren and the other brothers glanced at each other, Li Ren said with a complicated expression: "Uncle, you are not afraid of internal fighting and consuming the strength of the Li family." ”

Li Kuan shrugged his shoulders and said softly: "I think the political struggle is even more terrifying. ”

"In a fight, the loser is convinced."

"In a political fight, the loser will not be convinced."

"Besides, after a fight, the winner will become even more terrifying."

Li Kuan's statement made Li Ren and others unable to understand.

They thought Li Kuan was too crazy.

They didn't fight with Chang'an for the throne before, so they thought they could rely on politics to gain legitimacy.

As a result, Li Kuan directly told them that their old guys were in favor of the fight.

"The Tang world is very big, if you want to suppress the entire Tang world, you can't do it without enough force, and political means are just a façade of force means."

And Li Kuan really felt that the political methods of Li Ren and others were not good enough.

The best player in his heart who plays politics is Li Jiancheng.

Why did Li Shimin launch the Xuanwu Gate, it was because he had only this one way left at that time.

If he doesn't launch the Xuanwu Gate, the many descendants of the Qin Wangfu that he has worked so hard to accumulate will be dismantled by Li Jiancheng with fair and honest political means.

So Li Shimin had to launch the Xuanwu Gate.

used political means to force a prince of military merit who had conquered 70% of the Tang Dynasty into a corner, and had to break the boat.

That's really powerful.

Li Ren's current political tactics are nothing.

The biggest game they have ever played is the Eastern Roman Senate's set of votes for the throne.

That's it, with the Tianhu trump card in his hand, he has not yet played the smart people of the family feudal kingdom and the Eastern Roman Empire.

Li Ren competed for the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the result is that the current Eastern Roman Emperor has succeeded in ascending to the throne by relying on his relationship with Chang'an.

The current emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire is called Justinian, a descendant of the famous Emperor Justinian in history.

This guy got in touch with Chang'an when he was competing for the Roman emperor.

Then he relied on the opportunity of Chang'an to turn left and right and became the Roman emperor.

The level of political fighting is quite good.

His ascension to the throne was beyond everyone's expectations.

Including Empress Chang'an.

As far as Li Kuan's understanding goes, Chang'an was just investing in it at the beginning.

Who would have thought that a lonely royal family in Rome would really be afraid to go up.

Pull all the tickets of the Romans, and get some of the tickets in the hands of the Tang family with the help of Chang'an.

In the end, he succeeded in obtaining all the votes of the Senate of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Kill several competitors.

Among them is Li Ren.

This is also the reason why Li Ren returned to the New Sui as emperor.

Li Kuan is now pondering that Chang'an supported Justinian at the beginning, and he also had the idea of letting everyone see his ability.

After Li Ren failed to compete for the throne of the Tang Dynasty, he has been trying to find a way to make a big news and let everyone see his ability.

Chang'an supported Justinian, and Li Kuan estimated that Chang'an had the idea of suppressing him and letting others see his abilities.

No matter where you look at it, from which angle, Li Kuan feels that Li Ren's child is not good.

That is, the king of a guard, at most, he has a stronger ability to lead troops in battle.

But this ability is a plus, but it can't be your weight to compete for the emperor.

After all, Gao Changgong has already proved that no matter how strong the level of personal military command ability is, as long as the head is not normal, it is useless, and he still has to die.

Li Ren will definitely not die, their brothers have a good relationship, and he himself is the emperor.

But this does not mean that Li Ren can lead Xin Sui to the top.

From the fact that he can't get out of his new path after two failures, but is obsessed with the old way one or two, it can be seen that this kid has a problem with his vision.

belittled Li Ren in his heart, Li Kuan's face did not change, he should eat, drink, and chat.

Mainly chatting with Li Ke.

After eating and drinking, the two brothers didn't care about the feelings of the juniors, so they took the initiative to leave.

Li Ke personally sent Li Kuan back.

"Since we're here, let's sleep together at night."

Li Kuan smiled at the invitation.

The drunken duo lay down on the bed after each shower.

It's normal for brothers to sleep together.

"Thank you, second brother, for helping teach these children today."

"Give them a clear idea of their incompetence."

When Li Ke said this, his voice revealed exhaustion.

For a successful man, the most terrible thing is that his wife is not virtuous and his son is not filial.

If the ability is not good, it is also in the unfilial piety of the son.
