Chapter 940: Confiding
"Yuanba, there is no eternal emperor in this world, and there is no eternal dynasty!"
Li Shimin's voice returned to flatness: "And you also know that my sons are good enough, over the years, I have assigned them to the major capitals, and now, their abilities are also great, and their wings are all hard. I chose to abdicate at this time, not because I didn't mean to test them. ”
Although Li Shimin's voice was flat and light, it was like a thunderbolt when he heard Li Yuanba's ears.
There is no way, Li Shimin's words are too surprising, abdication and replacement of the emperor are in Li Shimin's mouth, it is like child's play, it seems that even if those boys toss and split the entire empire, Li Shimin will not care.
After a long while, Li Yuanba wrinkled his brows and said: "Brother Huang, right now, my Datang occupies almost eighty percent of the territory in this world, and we occupy six continents in seven continents, and we are still developing towards the extremely cold land in the north!" ”
Seeing that Li Shimin showed a listening expression, he continued: "Six continents, five major capital protectorates, Chengqian and Qingque guard the Asian pass, Ke'er guards the Dingtian capital guard, Su'er guards the South American capital, Yun'er guards the North American capital, Zhen'er guards the ocean capital, and the young slave is slowly taking over the Nanyang Protectorate during this time. At present, the whole world has been occupied by our Datang, as long as their little brothers support each other and develop together, my Datang will naturally be able to inherit for thousands of generations! ”
Heard Li Yuanba's words. Li Shimin suddenly stretched out his hand, took a sip of hot tea, and muttered for a long time without speaking.
Looking at Li Yuanba again? But he looked at Li Shimin-for-tat, without the slightest intention of evading.
To be honest, there is some perfunctory meaning in Li Yuanba's words, after all, these things are well-known. And these little guys all have a lot of rights in their respective territories, and they are in charge of everything in the capital.
I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Yuanba, you are indeed right, but you know the heart of these little guys better than anyone else. Are you saying these perfunctory words now to ease my heart? ”
Hearing Li Shimin's reckless words, Li Yuanba was a little surprised.
However, since he wanted to hear the truth, there was no reason for Li Yuanba not to say it, anyway, now that he was talking behind closed doors, these words would not be spread outside.
He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Brother Huang, there is no need to say anything about Cheng Qian. He is by your side, and you know better than anyone what your personality and ability are. Ke'er, I don't have that much ambition, but who doesn't have any extravagant expectations for that high position? Qingque, a bookish angry, although he is full of poetry and books, but his strategy is insufficient. The city government is too shallow, and it is easy to be provoked and used by others. You knew that a few years ago. There is almost no brotherly affection between Qingque and Cheng Qian, and his mind is full of the ...... of the throne"
Empress Changsun was standing beside Li Shimin, and when she heard Li Yuanba's words, she couldn't help but say: "Yuanba, this child is not like this. ”
"Guanyin!" Li Shimin turned his head and glanced at Empress Changsun and said, "Let Yuanba say, don't intervene!" ”
Li Shimin rarely showed such an expression. The expression on Empress Eldest Sun's face froze, and she stopped talking.
Li Yuanba glanced at Empress Changsun and continued: "Over the years, the land managed by Chengqian has been getting better and better. Don't say it! Su'er, Yun'er, Zhen'er, and the childish slaves have no ambitions, and they have developed well in their respective territories over the years, although the aborigines in the territory will occasionally break out, but they will soon be pacified! If you want to say that after you abdicate, the empire will be divided, that is, the pheasant......"
"Not bad!"
As soon as Li Yuanba's words fell, Li Shimin nodded with a gloomy face, and said: "Yun'er, Zhen'er, and the childish slaves don't need to worry, the only thing that makes me a little worried is Qingque, Ke'er, and Su'er." Qingque is okay to say, this kid is a simple-minded guy, as long as the gate valves and ministers who want to use him are uprooted in advance, Qingque will have no power. ”
"Then you're still holding back and never doing anything to those guys?" Li Yuanba asked a little strangely.
"Isn't it too boring to have some fun in this country?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanba with a smile, and then continued: "As for Ke'er and Su'er, this is what really gives me a headache. ”
"Yes, Ke'er and Su'er, these two stinky boys, Ke'er has always had extravagant hopes for that position, what about Ke'er? Like a second fool, what his third brother says is what! Li Yuanba couldn't do anything about it, "Over the years, although I have been trying to get these two boys to give up this idea, it has had little effect. ”
"There is a saying in "Born in Sorrow, Died in Peace": 'If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish!' Now that my Datang is invincible from foreign troubles, although there are legalists, but the internal worries are greater. These little guys do not have any fierce conflicts with each other, but the competition in the place where they belong has become increasingly fierce, and this competition inevitably produces contradictions. Over the past year, I have been thinking about whether I will abdicate at this time, Ke'er, Su'er and Qingque will do it at this time! ”
Li Shimin's words were full of worry, but more of a playful attitude.
Hey, if you don't say that Li Shimin is Li Shimin, it's all at this time, and I'm still thinking about 'playing'.
"Yuanba, in the current world, there is nothing that can threaten our Datang Empire, and if the empire is divided, it will only be within our Datang Dynasty!"
When he said this, the expression on Li Shimin's face suddenly became serious, "I don't want to see the incident of Xuanwumen repeat again, and I don't want to see the day when these little guys kill each other!" ”
"That's right!" Li Yuanba sighed and said, "Ke'er, Su'er...... The identities of most of them are hereditary, even if Ke'er and Su'er support the rule of the Tang Dynasty during their reign, they will not split the empire. But what if it is a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now? No one is sure that their children and grandchildren will covet that position......"
When these words came to the back, Li Yuanba's voice became smaller and smaller, after all, no one wanted to see this scene happen.
"Then you say, what can you do?" Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanba very solemnly, and said: "Let me tell you the truth, the reason why I called you back this time is that I will tell you about my abdication, and second, to see if I can find a way to solve this matter once and for all!"
