Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

With the appearance of Du Mu, there is now another Luo Wulang.

In early March of this year, Li Chong also began to have to think about something.

That is……

Although my second uncle and third uncle are not good people.

But no matter what, they are still his second uncle and third uncle.

Things like oil extraction cannot be accomplished by oneself and Luo Goro alone.

If you want to succeed, you must pull more people down.

As such...

Only when you are in court can you get more support.

Just think about it...

Even if you are an emperor, if you want to eat alone, that's not okay.

Many people speculated that the reason why the Ming Dynasty banned the sea was because they wanted to eat alone. Seeing that the court wanted to eat alone, the wealthy businessmen in the southeast began to smuggle on their own. In the end, many Ming Dynasty people pretended to be on the sea. Japanese pirates.

Although……

Li Chong did not think that Zhu Yuanzhang had such foresight, nor did he think that Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West just to make money.

To put it bluntly, they don't have the brains.

However, it is wrong to eat alone, and Li Zhong must understand this.

If you want your country to last forever, you can't just focus on making money for yourself.

You have to form your own interest team just like the Guanlong Group.

As such...

Only then can your country and country be established forever.

to this end……

This is also the reason why Li Chong suddenly came to chat with his imperial grandfather today.

It's still the same place, still the same game of Go.

only……

Last time, these were prepared by his imperial grandfather, but now, they are prepared by him.

Li Kuo was also happy when he saw this scene.

"What? You are in such a good mood today, why would you invite Grandfather to come over and play chess?"

"I just feel like it would be a bit boring to just talk."

Li Chong also said quickly.

after that……

The two of them were playing chess while discussing how to let their second uncle and third uncle go to Saudi Arabia to mine oil.

Li Kuo didn't seem to believe that Li Zhong would be so generous.

So he raised a question and said, "Don't you have some bad ideas?"

Li Chong also said quickly: "That's what I said! For Sun Chen's sake, they are my second uncle and third uncle after all. No matter how bad they are, they still have family ties."

"Sun Chen plans to give the court [-]% of the profits from oil exploration, and then divide the rest slowly."

Li Kuo also asked: "How to divide it?"

Li Chong: "I will take half of the remaining [-]% first. The remaining half will be competed and distributed according to who contributes to the extraction of oil."

Li Kuo: "That means... your second uncle and third uncle combined may not get [-]%."

Li Chong: "You can't let your second uncle and third uncle eat for free. Grandfather, don't you know that you have to let your adopted son fend for himself?"

"It's like, generally if there are lazy parents, their sons must be very hardworking."

"And generally if there are diligent parents, then their sons must be lazy."

"Grandfather, you don't want to see your second and third uncles know nothing but nothing, and then they will be useless for the rest of their lives."

Li Kuo smiled and said, "What you said makes some sense. But how can you say that your second uncle and third uncle are useless? They are also your elders after all."

Li Chong: "Yes, yes."

You are right!
Li Zhong thought in his heart.

Li Kuo: "My grandfather is very relieved that you can take the overall situation into consideration."

then……

In the end, Li Kuo seemed to be inexplicably looking at Li Chong with a meaningful smile.

Li Chong didn't know what was wrong with him.

But later Li Kuo said: "How about including the Zhao family?"

Li Chong: "Grandfather, are you talking about the Zhao family of Concubine Zhao Life?"

Li Kuo: "Yes."

Li Chong: "That's no problem. But she has no heirs."

Li Kuo: "..."

Li Kuo said nothing.

But the expression on his face is that you know what I mean.

Of course Li Chong knew, and said directly: "Zhao Zongru."

When Li Zhong said Zhao Zongru's name, Li Kuo raised his head and said with emotion: "Anyway, he has been with me for so many years. I can't treat meritorious ministers poorly."

After Li Chong left.

Li Kuo followed...

Zhao Zongru was also summoned.

He told Li Zhong what he was thinking.

Oil extraction is not a [-] million or [-] million project, it is a trillion or hundreds of billions project.

You see, Saudi Arabia doesn’t bother to bargain when it comes to buying missiles from China. That’s because they have oil.

certainly!Don’t think that Saudi Arabia is just stupid, with stupid people and lots of money.

This is because they clearly understand that having money is not as good as having missiles. If they don’t have missiles, then the United States will not directly ride on them.

and so……

No matter how high China's offer was at that time, they would definitely accept it.

If the money is gone, you can continue to earn money by drilling for oil. However, if the United States loses its sovereignty, it will really be lost.

After listening to what Li Kuo said.

Zhao Zongru first thought that there was something wrong with this, and his expectations were too high.

Does the Western Region really have that much oil?

Secondly, is this really what a 12-year-old young man, or more accurately, a child, can think of?

therefore……

Zhao Zongru also had to say: "The Western Region is thousands of miles away. Even if it can be transported back, the cost is probably not low. Your Majesty, I think it is another matter whether this can make money."

When Li Kuo said this, he actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

But soon, he strengthened his confidence, "What do you think of his football city?"

Zhao Zongru: "This..."

After Zhao Zongru was silent for a moment, he still had to praise: "In terms of the status of the emperor's grandson, there is no one before or after."

Li Kuo added: "I believe you have also heard about the Luoyang Library. Many people make money by writing books."

Zhao Zongru: "I heard about it."

Li Kuo: "If that's the case, are you still worried that he won't be able to make money?"

Zhao Zongru: "I am stupid."

Li Kuo: "I plan to abdicate. What do you think?"

Zhao Zongru: "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zongru was immediately dumbfounded.

He just said...

His Majesty told him this inexplicably, and it is certainly impossible to give it to you for free.

This meaning is self-evident.

then……

Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan also asked Emperor Taizong Wen, if he abdicates in the future, what will other people, especially those who once conquered the world with Emperor Gaozu, do?
But at this moment, the scene is so similar.

His Majesty!

Are you really willing to be the Supreme Emperor?

Zhao Zongru shouted and roared in his heart.

This is the result that Li Kuo thought about for a long time.

in fact……

Li Kuo didn't want to be the emperor, but he had no choice. The parents loved their son, so they had far-reaching plans.

and……

If you really want to say it, there seems to be no difference between him and the Supreme Emperor now.

Anyway, he usually doesn't manage government affairs very much.

As for what to do after becoming Your Majesty.

Li Kuo wanted to...

Probably find a place to calm down and refine elixirs.

Since you already have the imperial power, then become a god.

This would be good for both him and the prince.

originally……

He had no such plan.

At least……

At the beginning, he did not think that if he abdicated rashly, the interests of all parties in North Korea and China would be balanced.

If it cannot be balanced, it will be a bloody storm.

This is naturally not what he wants to see.

Until Li Zhong appeared.

And also gave a perfect solution.

of course!

The most important thing is that he has also watched "Know or Not" - parents love their children, and their plans are far-reaching.

The prince has worked hard to supervise the country for him for so many years. Now that he has contracted wind disease, he may not be able to wait until he ascends the throne. He will go as soon as he gets a taste of imperial power. As a parent, how can he just watch helplessly? With.

originally……

He was thinking about whether he could let the prince be the prince for a while and then return to this position.It's just...people are selfish. If he really retreats, can he come back?
Totally impossible!
But he felt inexplicably that if it was the emperor's grandson, it might be possible.

why?
Because this kid is so simple and innocent, you will unconsciously believe that if that day comes, he will definitely do this.

And...it was clear that his second uncle and third uncle were deliberately targeting him, but he could still think of his second uncle and third uncle.This also proves that although this boy has a simple and innocent personality, his political skills are also extraordinary.

We know that a person who eats alone will not last long, so he must win over more people.

Only the more people in the court who support him can this matter be carried out better.

Besides, going to the Western Regions to extract oil is not an easy task.

even……

Next, we have to build a good relationship with Cochin.

you say……

Will this guy unite with the Liao Kingdom and attack the Jiaozhi Kingdom together, if the Jiaozhi Kingdom does not give way to them?

If you think about it...

Li Kuo discovered that this boy really had such a possibility.

Among his concubines, there was a biological sister of the king of Liao.

How could any good thing happen to this kid?

If Li Kuo remembers correctly, the Shangxian Princess of Liao Kingdom was pretty good-looking.

He's a bit old for his age.

That kid had to go down and carve it, but no, it was the little earthworm on top of the carving.

Say hello to Zhao Zongru.

Zhao Zongru was also struggling with whether to discuss it with others.

But later...

He also found that there seemed to be no need for this.

after all……

The more people know about such a big thing, it is not a good thing.

Anyway...

When the time comes, their benefits will naturally be indispensable.

Even if you want to take it from yourself, you have to take it and give it to them.

Zhao Zongru naturally refers to those who originally followed him.

Finished meeting Zhao Zongru.

Then...

Naturally, Li Kuo summoned Li Chong's second and third uncles, Li Hong and Li Li.

Just say it casually.

The reaction of the two people was huge, "But that's the Western Region!"

"Yes, Father, in that deserted place, this eldest nephew doesn't want to send us away."

Li Kuo slapped the table as if he was about to break it apart and said: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then let your son go."

When the two of them saw that Li Kuo was angry, they quickly shut up.

Li Kuo looked at the two worthless wastes below. This was the gap.

When I usually accept bribes from others, I am very bold.

Those who should be ventilated in advance were ventilated.

Next...

Just take it to the court to discuss it.

By the way...

Mention his next intention to abdicate.

When Li Kuo said that he was ready to abdicate and give the throne to the prince.

All Tang officials in the entire hall fell silent.

Then it is just like the vegetable market on the street.

Say something.

Li Chong also didn't expect that Li Kuo would do this.

can only say……

It still feels a bit surprising.

but……

This seemed to scare him a lot.

Quickly declined.

And the first person to stand up and oppose the abdication of his imperial grandfather was Aye.

He was probably thinking that he would not say in the history books that he forced his father to abdicate.

But the key is...

He didn’t force it either!

This big pot came up inexplicably.

'Oh~ It's so hypocritical! '

On the contrary, Li Zhong stood in the court with a calm expression.

Everyone here is taller than him. Standing among them, he is just like an inconspicuous sapling. Li Zhong did not forget to complain about him.

Li Kuo and everyone who could ventilate were all ventilated, except Li Chong, who was not ventilated.

So when Li Kuo expressed his intention to abdicate, in addition to watching the reactions of the ministers, what Li Kuo was most concerned about was Li Chong's reaction.

Li Chong didn't seem surprised at all.

Instead, he sighed.

What is he sighing about?

Then...

Li Chong was called out, "What do you think, Emperor Sun?"

Li Chong immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. How could you abdicate so early? I think it is inappropriate. Sun Chen also needs to learn more from your Majesty about the principles of governing the country."

installed!

Li Kuo could tell at a glance that it was fake.

This kid probably didn't even know how happy he was.

after all……

As soon as he abdicates the throne, this kid will naturally become the prince.

and also!

When did your kid ever learn from me?

but……

Compared with Aye's hypocrisy, at least his words are considered low.

"If your grandson wants to learn, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"But... I have decided to abdicate."

then……

Zhao Lifei was the last to know.

She was dressing up at the time, and the comb in her hand suddenly fell to the ground with a snap.

"Even the date of abdication has been decided!"

A servant came over and said so.

"Quick! Go and invite Duke Zhao here!"

He is talking about Zhao Zongru.

but……

What's the use of that.

Back to the East Palace.

The courtiers in the East Palace looked enthusiastic.

It’s finally over!
When Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen heard this, they were filled with regret.

Dry!
You shouldn’t take refuge in the emperor’s grandson!

But while he was happy, Li Chun also felt a little confused.

after all……

This is a bit unreasonable!
After facing down...

Li Kuo also had a separate conversation between father and son with Li Chun, but no one knew what was said specifically.

Li Chong guessed that he probably asked Li Chun to treat the veterans in the court well.

If there is any conflict, don't make it too big.

If you must change people, you can slowly change them to your own people.

Don't kill him with one shot.

There are still certain risks here.

Of course!
If Zhao Zongru nodded in agreement, then others would not dare to say anything more.

When Zhao Zongru returned home, he also had a turbulent look on his face.

but……

After thinking for a long time, he understood that this should be the best solution.

If it were forced, the Zhao family might suffer even more heavy losses than this.

and……

The initiative does not lie with him.

Even if he really wants to rebel, he will definitely support King Yan and King Jin to rebel.

But the problem now is...

Can you ensure that King Yan and King Jin can really treat their Zhao family well after the incident?
It is estimated that it will still be hidden in the snow.

Then why take such a big risk.

He is already the prime minister now. No matter how hard he tries, he will only be the prime minister at best.

On the contrary, if his descendants can have a relationship with the emperor's grandson.

Then maybe he can become prime minister again in the following generations and continue to control the affairs of the court.

Anyway...

At least while the prince is your majesty, it should be impossible.

even……

He even took the initiative to step back and make way for the prince, saying that he was sick.

Just as he finished thinking this, he saw someone coming out of the palace and reported to him that Concubine Li had summoned him to the palace to discuss important matters. (End of chapter)
