Man Tanghong

Chapter 932 Li Yuanji's Ambition
"You don't intend to inherit your father's position?"

Li Shimin asked in disbelief.

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Why should you inherit? You care about that position, but I don't care about it."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and said: "But if you don't inherit, father will give it to elder brother. Once elder brother takes over, neither you nor I can live."

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Since I don't intend to inherit, how can I let my elder brother inherit?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of fire in his eyes, but it disappeared soon.

Li Yuanji said with a smile that was not a smile: "Including you!"

Li Shimin muttered to himself: "I knew..."

After saying this, Li Shimin took a deep breath, sat down again, regained his composure and said, "Then what are you going to do with father's position, it's impossible to give it up to other younger brothers, right?
I can tell you, this is the way to bring disaster.

Once the power of my Li family falls into the hands of the Shu family, the struggle within my Li family will be even more tragic in the future. "

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "It seems that the power is in the hands of our direct descendants, and the internal struggles in my Li family are not tragic..."

Li Shimin stared and shouted: "You know that's not what I'm talking about!"

Li Yuanji nodded copingly and said: "I know, that's not the point I'm taking off what you said, you want to know how I will deal with my father's position."

Li Shimin stared and did not speak, looking like he was waiting for the next sentence.

Li Yuanji said bluntly: "Actually, I thought about this problem as early as when I was at Xuanwumen. I planned to let my father pass the position to my eldest brother, and then support my eldest brother to be a puppet.

Wait until the eldest brother sits for ten years, and then let him give you the Zen seat.

After you sit for ten years, give me the Zen seat.

After I finish sitting for ten years, I will give up to my elder brother's eldest son.

Going back and forth like this, everyone has a share, not only can reduce the internal struggles in my Li family, but also prevent the occurrence of power loss.

Every reigning emperor will be in his prime, and every Zen emperor will be at the pinnacle of his political career.

The emperor with the Zen position assists the reigning emperor together.

My Great Tang will never have a weak period of throne replacement, let alone a young master, and no one will be able to spy on my Li family's authority.

But all of these were ruined by the third sister's selfishness.

It was she who didn't follow my plan, which made my plan fail.

Several years have passed since the Xuanwumen incident. I have seen more, experienced more, and my thinking has matured.

I found that if I followed my previous plan, the struggle within the Li family would not stop.

My Li family will be divided into three internally, and the power of my Tang Dynasty will also be easily divided into three.

At that time, everyone will plot against each other, attack each other, and even attract external forces to join in.

And the consequence of doing this is that my Li family will be weakened to the extreme in the constant internal fighting, and the external force will become stronger because of my Li family's struggle, and finally replace my Li family.

So now I have a new idea. "

After hearing these words, Li Shimin was shocked, but also a little dizzy.

It was hard for him to believe that a person had no idea about the throne.

Especially this person has the throne at his fingertips.

It was even more difficult for him to believe that Li Yuanji had the idea of ​​handing over the throne as early as when he was at Xuanwumen.

This is so crazy, so crazy that people can't believe it.

He didn't know if Li Yuanji was telling the truth, or if he was fooling him.

He prefers the latter.

Because if Li Yuanji has no idea about the throne, then he is a saint.

But judging from Li Yuanji's daily behavior, Li Yuanji doesn't look like a saint at all.

"I am going to let my father directly pass the throne to Chengde, and then take my eldest brother, take you, and take all the nobles of my Tang Dynasty, to go outside the territory to create another universe.

As far as I know, Outer Territory is far bigger than my Tang Dynasty.

My Tang Dynasty can do too many things outside the territory, and the territory that can be opened up outside the territory is also too large.

We can't keep our eyes on the Central Plains, we should look further afield.

No matter how good our national policies are, they will sometimes be eliminated by the times.

I, Datang, may also be replaced by others.

My Li family will be liquidated by others one day.

So we should go out and scatter my Lee's seeds on every inch of land we can see.

In the future, even if the mountains and rivers sink and the country changes, as long as the people of my Li family can defend a region, my Li family will still shine brightly. "

Li Yuanji said seriously.

This idea is neither crazy nor bold.

But one day, when the seeds of the Li family were scattered all over the earth, and the Han people took root all over the world, even if there was turmoil in the Central Plains and the change of dynasties.

The possibility of the Li family being exterminated and completely expelled from the country will become extremely low.

Because the descendants of the Li family can gain a firm foothold in other parts of the world even if they pull again.

In some places where bloodlines are valued, as long as Li's bloodlines are set high, they will always be enshrined.

And when the Han people have taken root in various parts of the world, the Han people can continue to use the Central Plains as the rear area to grow themselves, and they can also feed back part of their own strength and resources back to the Central Plains.

It's like the sun never sets.

But it's not the same as the sun never sets.

The Han people don’t need to plunder everything in the local area and feed it back to the Central Plains. The Han people can take root in the local area and become the local ruling class, or they can become a new local nation, blend with the local people, and finally firmly take root in the local area.

Wait until the number of Han Chinese becomes the mainstream in various places.

This land, this world, this vast starry sky, who has the final say?
At that time, the gains and losses of a family will not matter.

This is a grand goal, but also a crazy goal, maybe it will be abandoned halfway, maybe it will fail, maybe it will only be a flash in the pan.

But doing it is better than doing nothing.

Doing something is better than doing nothing.

As long as one part is achieved, Li Tang's country will be more glorious than any other period in history.

Although Li Tang was glorious in history, why not make it even more glorious if conditions permit?
When you have the conditions to manage the world, if you don’t manage it, do you have to wait until someone else has finished managing it and run over to manage you?
"Gudu..."

Even though Li Shimin was well-informed and had great ambitions in his heart, when he heard this, he was too shocked to speak, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Li Yuan's ambition is probably to see more beauties in the world, and his ambition is to unify the Central Plains and establish a supreme dynasty.

But Li Yuanji's ambition had obviously surpassed them.

Li Yuanji wanted to brand Li Tang's brand on all visible places in the world, and he also wanted to brand everyone in the world with Li Tang's brand.

The emperors of all dynasties in history have never thought about it this way, and they probably didn't dare to think about it.

It's not crazy anymore, it's simply impossible.

"If you and I are poor, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in this life, right?"

After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin spoke with difficulty.

Although his knowledge is limited, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know that there are many other places besides Datang.

Maybe those places are not as rich and powerful as Datang in his eyes, but it doesn't mean that he can pretend that he doesn't know those places, pretend that those places don't exist like other people.

The Hu merchants in Chang'an City have proved that there is still a large piece of land to the west of the Western Regions.

Many snoops in history have proved that the hot land is not a hairless.

The ignorant can be arrogant and arrogant, and can think that there is nothing worth prying outside the Central Plains, and there is nothing that can be compared with the Central Plains.

But how can those who know can deceive themselves and others?
But just managing this area of ​​the Central Plains is enough to exhaust a person's life, let alone managing other places.

He didn't think he could do such a thing with his life.

In his view, whether it is him or Li Yuanji, after conquering Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, they will die.

There is simply no time to conquer other places.

Li Yuanji said firmly: "Qin Nengfen is the survivor of the sixth generation, can't I, Tang?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth, but made no sound.

The survivors of Qin Nengfen's sixth generation are definitely an odd number among the odd numbers. Looking at other dynasties, let alone the survivors of the sixth generation, it is a miracle that he can survive the third and fourth generations.

So he doesn't think Li Tang's descendants can do one thing unswervingly.

But deep down in his heart, he hoped that Li Tang's descendants would unswervingly do this.

If Li Tang's descendants can survive the survivors of the sixth generation, they will spread Li Tang's brilliance to every piece of land irradiated by the sun.

So what about Qin Shihuang, and what about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they all have to follow Li Tang to eat ashes.

Although he felt that Li Yuanji's plan was crazy and unreliable, not only did he not have too much resistance in his heart, but he was still a little eager to try it.

He knew that it was caused by the warlike temperament deep in his blood.

He likes the thrill of strategizing and winning thousands of miles on the battlefield, and also likes the thrill of wandering life and death on the battlefield.

It's ingrained in his blood, and no matter who he becomes, it won't change.

"It's not a long-term strategy to resort to military force."

Rationally, Li Shimin still hoped that Li Yuanji would not be so crazy.

With Datang's current family background, he couldn't do such a crazy thing.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin curiously and said, "Why are you so aggressive? We have all the enemies we need, so we just need to go get them."

Liu Che beat the people who were beaten by the Huns, and Genghis Khan took down most of Eurasia, and he didn't see the people of Mongolia.

Although other nationalities and races helped Genghis Khan bear the cost of the war, there was no need for him to bear all the costs when the Tang soldiers left the Central Plains.

As for what happened to other nationalities and races, that was not what Datang needed to consider.

That is what their respective monarchs need to consider. Datang only needs to consider the citizens of his own country.

"It's not as easy as you think to feed on the enemy. My soldiers in the Central Plains are not used to food from other places."

Li Shimin couldn't help but said.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin in astonishment.

If you say this, the Anxi army will not agree.

He has guarded the Western Regions for decades, and has grown from a group of young boys to a gray-haired old man, and he has not lost the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, the descendants of the Li family are sorry for him.

Not only failed to take them back, but also ignored them.
