The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 320
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment by Bingru's thoughtless words.

It took a long time before I asked: "The first stage of this sect construction task is formation. But now I have nothing, how do I start?"

"When you are smart, you are smarter than a monkey, but when you are stupid, you are as stupid as a pig. Isn't it a waste if your little brothers don't use it?" Bingru said.

"What big things can these boys accomplish? It's a good choice to make them mischievous." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"You are a pig, a stupid pig." Bing Ruqi stomped her feet, and then disappeared.

Not long after, a strategy for the establishment of a sect appeared in Li Chengqian's mind.You don't need to ask to know that Bingru's little girl did it.

After reading it, Li Chengqian smiled and thanked Bingru.Then I started to prepare shopping and barbecue.

……

"Brother's craftsmanship is really nothing to say, but it's a pity that it will be difficult for us to eat it in the future." Li Ke said, gnawing the leg of lamb in his hand.

"Whenever you want to eat, you can come to the East Palace. If he doesn't make it for you, you can tell your sister-in-law. See sister-in-law, I won't punish him." Cheng Chuhuan said to Li Ke with a smile.

"Even if Big Brother is willing to make it for us, we can't go back to Chang'an City a few times a year. How can we eat it often." Li Ke said after sighing.

Now Li Ke and the others are all princes with fiefdoms.Normally, you need to stay in your own fief, and you are not allowed to enter Beijing without an imperial decree.

If Hou Junji hadn't passed on the imperial decree this time, they wouldn't have come to Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian naturally understood what Li Ke was talking about, so he said to Li Ke: "If you are willing to stay in Chang'an City, brother, I can help you."

Hearing that Li Chengqian had a way to keep them in Chang'an City, everyone was very happy.So you asked Li Chengqian what to do.

After Li Chengqian put down the wine glass in his hand, he said to Xiao Guizi: "Let them all go down, there is no need for you to serve here."

Xiao Guizi has been by Li Chengqian's side for a long time, so she naturally understands Li Chengqian's intentions.So all the palace daughters and eunuchs were driven away.And stand a hundred steps away in person, so that no one can get half a step closer to Yiqiu Palace.

Even Cheng Chuhuan and the others used the excuse of being tired, and went back to the palace to rest.

Seeing that all the eunuchs and maids had left, Li Tai said to Li Chengqian: "What do you want to say, can you say it now?"

"Have you ever thought about a question, that is why there is no dynasty that lasts forever." Li Chengqian asked everyone.

Li Zhi and Li Shen were young, so naturally they didn't understand the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.But the other brothers couldn't help thinking.

In the end, it was Li Tai who spoke first: "The founding king was wise and powerful, but his descendants gradually became dull, and eventually they were naturally replaced by capable people."

"The fourth brother is right. This is inevitable in any dynasty. After all, no one can guarantee that all of his descendants will be Ming emperors and sages." Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"Since it is inevitable, it means that the world of our Li family will be replaced by others sooner or later." Li Ke said after sighing.

"But have you discovered that aristocratic families can survive for thousands of years. There are also some Jianghu sects that have been passed on for a longer time." Li Chengqian said.

"Brother, you can just say what you want, why do you need to hang out with me?" Li You asked Li Chengqian anxiously.

Li Chengqian glared at Li You and said, "Whether it's from aristocratic families or Jianghu sects, they all have a special group, that is the Presbyterian Church."

"Because of the elders, they will conduct strict assessments on the successors. Only capable people are qualified to run a family."

"Even if the direct descendants do not have outstanding talents, they will be selected from the collateral line. The continuation of the family and sect has been guaranteed."

"I understand what elder brother said, but the throne is different from the patriarch of the family. They only need to maintain their own family."

"But as the emperor, he not only has supreme power in his hands, but also takes care of the lives of the people, otherwise it will cause turmoil among the people."

"Besides, from ancient times to the present, which court's decline was not caused by the peasant uprising?" Li Tai said to Li Chengqian.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.Then he said, "So I'm going to set up a special institution for our Li family, called Zongmen."

"And the main responsibility of this sect is to cultivate descendants of the Li surname. Bring the best descendants into the sect."

"Brother, do you mean to select the heir to the throne from these outstanding descendants? Does that mean that there is no need to establish a crown prince?" Li Ke asked Li Chengqian.

"If the descendants of the surname Li enter the sect, it is more important than being the emperor. What do you think is the meaning of the prince of the East Palace?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

"No way, what kind of attraction does this sect have that can make people willing to give up the throne?" Li Tai asked Li Chengqian puzzled.

"Life." Li Chengqian only said two words, which stunned the people present.

From ancient times to the present, how many people have not hesitated to seek immortality and medicine in order to live longer.But no one can really live forever.

"Brother, although no one wants to live longer, I'm afraid it may not be able to withstand the temptation of power." Li Ke shook his head and said.

"If you have a longer life span, you also have the power to punish the emperor. Do you think this temptation is enough?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

"Brother, are you kidding me? The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, who would dare to punish him? Why don't you have your family ransacked and exterminated?" Li You said incredulously.

"This is the system. As long as we can establish a complete system, then nothing is impossible." Li Chengqian said.

"Brother, just tell me what to do. Brothers will be done after listening to you." Li Yin said to Li Chengqian.

"If you want to accomplish this, this person must be the emperor. Otherwise, everything is empty talk, and I am the prince of the East Palace now. Naturally, I will also be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so it is very appropriate for me to formulate this rule."

"At that time, I will divide the sect into the inner sect and the outer sect. Only the direct descendants of the Li surname are eligible to enter the inner sect. Of course, those who have made great contributions to the Great Tang can enter in an exception."

"The Outer Sect doesn't have such strict requirements. Anyone who is loyal to Datang is eligible to enter."
