On the issue of establishing a prince, Li Xuan actually hesitated for a long time, the most important thing is to consider whether the heir is qualified and the impact of the government, and even the more important turmoil in the future.

After all, from Li Xuan's own point of view, in fact, Lixian is the most ideal choice, because Li Xuan chooses a qualified prince to inherit the position, which will bring great benefits to the subsequent imperial rule, and Li Xuan himself has enough prestige and means to let this prince sit firmly in the position, regardless of whether this prince is the eldest son or not.

But Li Xuan is worried that after he opened the head of Lixian, the descendants will also follow suit, but whether they are virtuous or not, this is a problem that cannot be accurately measured, among many princes, you think he is virtuous, but others do not think so, so it may also lead to a dispute over the succession, the light one is turbulent, and the heavy one causes a civil war.

And there is no such problem in the case of Lihe, everyone does not have to fight, the birth is to set the order of succession for everyone, and from the beginning to cut off the idea of other princes to seize the throne.

However, if he is a successor, he may also make a tragedy of being an emperor in a waste.

There are pros and cons to these two methods, but after Li Xuan's comprehensive consideration, he also decided to establish a successor!

Because Li Xuan believes that whether the prince is qualified or not, the education he receives the day after tomorrow is decisive, and education can be optimized, Li Xuan believes that through perfect education, even if the eldest son Li Wei himself is mediocre, but he can also be trained to be a qualified emperor.

So in the end, Li Xuan chose to establish a successor, and increased the ability of the prince through the way of cultivation, rather than letting the princes compete separately, and then selected the winner as the prince to avoid political turmoil as much as possible.

At least in the next decade or two, Li Xuan needs to ensure that all kinds of turmoil will not break out in the country because of the issue of establishing reserves.

Since he has chosen to establish a successor, the handling of other princes will also be on the agenda.

Especially the two older princes, according to the rules of the traditional Central Plains Dynasty, it is necessary to be crowned king, and at the same time, it is also necessary to be a vassal prince.

In the pre-Ming era, the early princes were all real feudals, in the border areas, and then became the vassal kings with real power, and then there was the rebellion of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to seize the throne, and the later Ming Dynasty began to raise the prince as a pig, and only gave glory and wealth after the domain, but did not give real power.

However, Li Xuan did not want to follow the policy of vassalization in the early Ming Dynasty, causing the feudal king to be semi-independent, and then rebelling, and at the same time, he did not want to drive out the adult prince and put him in a fief as a pig.

In addition, if you don't send the prince out to become a vassal, then there will be a lot of problems, referring to the Fu King of the former Ming Dynasty, and if you delay becoming a vassal, it will lead to other ideas, thinking that you still have a chance.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Xuan decided not to follow suit, but to adopt a policy of sending the prince overseas!

As for rebelling in the future, rebellion will be rebellion, anyway, Li Xuan's global strategic goal is to conquer the whole world, but even Li Xuan doesn't think that after conquering Australia, America, Europe, Africa and other regions, these places can always belong to the rule of the central dynasty, and after a long time, there will always be all kinds of chaotic turmoil.

Therefore, it is better to prepare now, and wait until a few hundred years later, even if it is divided, the immigrants in those places are still the Chinese people, and the people who rule these Chinese immigrants will also be his Li Xuan's descendants.

At that time, even if there is a war in various divided regions, it will only be a family internal war, just fight, just like the First World War, it is a group of relatives fighting, fighting back and forth, and the meat will still rot in the pot.

Li Xuan didn't know what kind of development and changes he would bring about in the future, but he didn't plan to worry so much, he did it first, saw how the situation developed, and if the momentum of things was not right, then he would correct it.

Anyway, with the prestige of Li Xuan, the founding emperor, what he does is actually a matter of one sentence.

Considering this, it is more just his selfish motives, rather than saying that he really wants the empire he founded to last forever, which is impossible.

Li Xuan's true thoughts are actually a bit selfish, so when he was alive, the empire was unified and ruled the whole world.

As for after he dies, where can he manage so much, his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is enough to enjoy the glory and wealth of dozens of hundreds of years.

This kind of thinking is not good, that is, after he dies, he will be flooded!

If you seal your son around the world, you may be able to leave a bloodline to rule somewhere in the future.

Based on this consideration, Li Xuan made a choice that surprised everyone on the issue of the vassal of his eldest son King Qi and his second son King Zhao, he first let King Qi go to Osumi County to take up the vassal domain, and the place where King Zhao took the vassal was Wandan.

However, these two places, in the eyes of anyone today, are alien places, and the subjects of the empire are unwilling to emigrate to these places if they are not really unable to survive.

But Li Xuan sealed the two princes to these two places, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

In the eyes of many people, Li Xuan did this, it was even more ruthless than those emperors of the former Ming Dynasty, and other emperors of the former Ming Dynasty gave their sons the title of queen, although they did not give real power when they became vassals, but they would still stay in the Central Plains.

However, Li Xuan directly sealed his son to the overseas barbarian land, how ruthless this is.

But they didn't know that Li Xuan did this just to prepare his two sons first, and as for the real fiefdom in the future, Li Xuan had already prepared it for them.

The real fief of the eldest son King Qi is the Fusang Islands, and the fief of the second son King Zhao is the whole of Australia.

And when the time comes, when Li Xuan grants fiefs to these princes, he will give a part of the real power, so that they have a certain amount of real power, and even the army.

However, Li Xuan will still firmly implement the principle of local industrialization, and the colony is only a source of raw materials and a market for industrial products, at least until his death.

As for after he dies, if a certain prince outside the domain is really so awesome that he can develop industry on his own and then lead a large army to counterattack the Central Plains and seize the throne, then Li Xuan can only say one thing: Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!

However, Li Xuan will not reveal this idea to outsiders for the time being, after all, Fusang has not yet been won, and there are not many immigrants in Australia, so it is useless to say it.

After the plan for the vassal of King Qi and King Zhao was decided, the government and the opposition were shaken, and even the two princes themselves were shocked, and their eyes were full of despair!

You must know that half a month ago, they still had hope of inheriting the unification, but they didn't expect that half a month later, not only did they have no hope of inheriting the throne, but they were even driven out of their homeland.

However, they received a royal education since childhood, and they knew very well that this matter was decided by their father himself, and it was impossible for anyone to change it.

So they didn't cry.

But their mothers and concubines are different, they have long known that if their sons cannot become princes in the future, then they will become princes and then become vassals.

But no matter how big their imagination is, they didn't imagine that this domain would be an overseas territory.

Osumi? Banten? How can you go to those places.

At this time, they didn't care about annoying Li Xuan, they all ran to Li Xuan to cry, saying that even if they were a vassal, they shouldn't rush overseas!

In the end, even the Empress Dowager Bai came forward and left a sentence: "This palm is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, don't you feel heartache?" ”

Hearing this, Li Xuante was speechless, didn't I just think that the palms and backs of my hands were full of meat, so I got them overseas to become vassals, Ma Dan, one will be the Prince of Fusang and the other will be the Prince of Australia in the future, this is not cool?

Do you want me to give them a few provinces in their homeland so that they can become vassals?

However, it was the Empress Dowager Bai, so Li Xuan still revealed a little!

"Queen Mother, where do you see this corner? , where is Banten? ”

Although the Empress Dowager Bai was born as a rural landlord's wife, in addition to enjoying the glory and wealth and raising her body more fatten, she has not been idle, in fact, she is still quite concerned about the government, in addition, her younger brother, Uncle Bai Yunqi, is now serving as the general manager of Datang Western Company, which is only a company in name, but it is a colonial institution with the company fleet, the fourth official army of the empire.

In this way, she naturally knew that Osumi Prefecture and Banten were there.

But she didn't understand why Li Xuan suddenly said that.

Li Xuan continued: "Osumi is on the side of Fusang, and Banten is north of Australia!" ”

Empress Dowager Bai is a smart person, and after hearing Li Xuan say this, she pondered for a while, and then raised her head again, stared at Li Xuan and said, "Are you going to give them Fusang and Australia?" ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Not bad!" ”

Rao is Empress Dowager Bai had also considered why Li Xuan wanted to seal these two princes overseas, but she didn't expect that Li Xuan was actually preparing to make the entire Fusang seal the place of King Qi's vassal and the whole of Australia as King Zhao's vassal place.

Although Fuso was not yet under the control of the Empire, and the Empire had only a few small colonies in Australia, she had no doubt that these two places would become Empire territory in the future.

Is such a large area reliable as the prince's vassal land?

So Empress Dowager Bai quickly changed her attitude, and said with doubts and a hint of worry: "Is this feasible?" There will be no problems in the future? ”

Li Xuan also knew that his mother was not a simple person, and he knew what the problem was that the Empress Dowager Bai was talking about, it was nothing more than that the place controlled by the vassal king would be bigger in the future, and whether it would pose any threat to the central government in the future.

In this regard, Li Xuan said: "It doesn't matter, at least there should be no problems in one hundred and eighty years, Erchen will take some targeted measures to ensure that there will not be too many changes in a hundred years, as for even if there is any change in a hundred years, but it is not my Li family's descendants!" ”

When Empress Dowager Bai heard this, she already understood Li Xuan's thoughts, and immediately stopped saying anything: "Since the emperor already has a complete strategy, then I, the old woman, won't say anything, but those two children are still young, and their studies have not yet been completed, so it's not good to go too early, and the mourning family still wants them to accompany the mourning family for a few years!" ”
