…

"I dare to ask His Highness the Crown Prince again, did His Highness think of the harm of the distribution order to His Highness?"

When Yu Yunwen said this, he was also worried - you should know that Li Yan was the first emperor in history and the most accomplished emperor throughout history, and he was obviously questioning Li Yan's decision!

The key point is that Li Yan is really nice to Li Cun - Li Yan has nearly a thousand sons, but he only strongly recommends Li Cun to the throne. In order to successfully pass the throne to Li Cun, Li Yan really spared no effort to clear all obstacles for Li Cun before he ascended the throne.

Therefore, if Li Cun has a little conscience, he cannot let others slander Li Yan.

But from Yu Yunwen's perspective, you must say this.

From the Qin Dynasty to the bottom, there are countless rebels in all dynasties, but not many people participated in or led rebellion as princes. After all, rebellion is a high-risk industry. As a prince with a respectable status, there is no need to take risks. Another reason is that since the feudal system was completely abolished during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it is difficult for princes to obtain real power, and their identity is too sensitive, so it is difficult for them to obtain the strength of rebellion.

In other words, from the Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, especially the Song Dynasty, it was very restricted by the power of princes. Many dynasties even preferred to raise princes as pigs than let them touch the power.

Although this is a bit unfair to these princes, it has to be said that the effect is actually quite good.

On the contrary, some dynasties, such as the Tang Dynasty, had relatively little restrictions on princes. As a result, it was not counted as the Xuanwu Gate Incident of Li Shimin, but also the Shenlong Coup, Jinglong Coup, and Mawei Mutiny.

Of course, the reason why the Tang Dynasty rebelled was related to Li Shimin - in the early Tang Dynasty, the eldest brother, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, knew that Li Shimin refused to be a minister, and Li Shimin also believed that it was his own foundation for the founding of the Tang Dynasty, so he and Li Jiancheng and the fourth brother, Li Yuanji, were suspicious more and more. The two factions of ministers fought each other. Finally, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident and shot the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and the King of Qi Li Yuanji near the Xuanwu Gate in the imperial capital Chang'an City. Afterwards, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's sons and removed them from their clan origins. Li Yuan was forced to give up military and political power to Li Shimin. Three days later, Li Shimin was made the crown prince. Since then, the descendants of the Li royal family always believed that through their own efforts, they could have the opportunity to have the world like Li Shimin, and they would take a risk.

When he arrived at Dazhong Dynasty, Li Yan not only followed the old path of the Tang Dynasty, but was even more cautious - Li Yan actually threw more than 200 princes into every corner of Dazhong. Moreover, judging from this situation, Li Yan might throw nearly a thousand or more princes into every corner of Dazhong in the future, and then slowly promote it!

just in case!

There are a few of these thousands of princes, no, even if they only produce an extremely excellent prince, then Li Cun's position should be unstable.

yes.

Li Cun is extremely outstanding and is not afraid of such a thing.

Perhaps the extraordinary Yu Yunwen could see things that others could not see, which were the two major hidden dangers that existed in Li Cun.

The first is Li Cun's physical problem. This problem can easily awaken the kings' ambition to fight for the throne. Imagine that if Li Cunyi accidentally falls ill one day, then someone will inevitably make a fuss about Li Cun's physical condition. You must know that an emperor of a country must not be a sick person, because this is too unstable, so at that time, an ambitious prince might jump up to compete for Li Cun's position as crown prince.

In addition to this hidden danger, Li Cun actually has another huge hidden danger, that is, Li Cun has no son - Li Cun is really not a good woman, and in addition, she is not in good health, so Li Cun has only one daughter so far.

No son is a very fatal injury for the crown prince, especially when Li Yan has many descendants. Let’s take a step back, even if Li Cun is the emperor now, who will be the crown prince? Should Li Cun adopt one from which brother, or which younger brother will be established in the future?

Of course, Li Cun is still young after all, only twenty-six years old, so he still has the chance to have a son.

But this kind of thing has always been, not afraid of ten thousand, but fear of what if.

Therefore, Li Cun’s journey to the emperor is full of hidden dangers, so Yu Yunwen is very worried!

Moreover, Yu Yunwen was not only worried about Li Cun, but also worried about Dazhong, an unprecedentedly powerful empire. Yu Yunwen was afraid that because Li Yan gave up all the princes, the great empire that he had finally built was in turmoil!

actually--

Yu Yunwen's worries are not unreasonable.

Take the early Ming Dynasty as an example.

Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the feudal system, sent many princes to the frontier and allowed them to have a certain size of army.

Zhu Yuanzhang's move was originally intended to protect the national security and avoid peasant uprisings.

However, the development of things exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations - things finally went to the worst.

The sudden death of the prince Zhu Biao awakened the kings' ambition to fight for the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang still insisted on making Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen the crown prince.

The princes all had resentment about this.

Among them, the King of Yan Zhu Di was the most scheming. He secretly cultivated the army and attempted to separatist the forces.

When the time was ripe, Zhu Di overthrew Emperor Jianwen's regime on the grounds of "clearing the monarch", and successfully staged a tragedy that caused Xiao Yun to seize the throne.

If you look into the reasons for its success, you will find that the "feudal system" is of great significance.

For Li Cun and for the unprecedentedly powerful empire of Dazhong, Yu Yunwencai stood up without hesitation to remind Li Cun.

Li Cun stared at Yu Yunwen for a while, then asked back without answering, "Are you finished?"

Yu Yunwen was a little puzzled, but said, "I'm done."

Li Cun waved his hand and said, "I've finished speaking, let's go down."

Yu Yunwen was stunned and wanted to say something else.

But Li Cun stopped looking at Yu Yunwen, and then lowered his head to continue reviewing the memorials.

Seeing this, Yu Yunwen stood there for a long time before leaving Li Cun's study unwillingly.

As soon as he came out, Yu Yunwen saw Chen Junqing standing at the door, as if waiting for him.

Yu Yunwen came to Chen Junqing and asked bluntly: "Ying Ke (Chen Junqing's name) Brother is waiting for me?"

Chen Junqing nodded and said, "Brother Binfu (Yu Yunwen's name) Brother, you did something wrong today."

Yu Yunwen frowned and asked, "I haven't asked you about it yet, brother Ying Ke, where am I wrong today?"

Chen Junqing signaled Yu Yunwen and the others to leave first, and said, "Brother Guan Binfu, you have been absent-minded these days. When you heard the distribution order, you hurried to see Your Highness. You guessed that you must have come to remind Your Highness, and then rushed to chase you. Unfortunately, you were still one step late, so you said this."

Yu Yunwen took a deep breath and said, "Why are real men afraid of life and death?"

Chen Junqing said bluntly: "Do you think I came to pursue you because I was worried about your life and death?"

When Yu Yunwen heard the words, he was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "It turns out that I am so passionate."

Chen Junqing said: "In national affairs, what is this little personal relationship between you and me?"

Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "Yes, you and I are not the ones who use your own private to abolish the public. So... what is the intention of asking me to come here?"

After walking for a while, Chen Junqing said: "I also thought about the problem you thought of. I also thought about making suggestions to Your Majesty. For the future stability of Dazhong, it is stipulated that the princes will not leave the capital without an imperial edict, so that princes other than the prince will be rich and stable for a lifetime."

As if he had finally met a confidant, Yu Yunwen quickly said, "Brother Ying Qiu has come to my mind together! But... Why did Brother Ying Qiu say that I did something wrong again?"

Chen Junqing said: "Later, I carefully read the classics of princes from all dynasties and rebellion, and I had some insights."

Yu Yunwen didn't say anything, he was waiting for Chen Junqing's subsequent text.

Chen Junqing continued: "The disaster of witchcraft. In the later years of Emperor Wu of Han, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was reported to curse Emperor Wu of Han using witchcraft, and committed adultery with Princess Yangshi, resulting in Gongsun He and his son being imprisoned and died. Princess Zhuyi and Princess Yangshi, Wei Qing's eldest son Changping Hou Wei Kang was implicated and died. Afterwards, Emperor Wu of Han ordered Jiang Chong to investigate the matter. Jiang Chong had an old grudge with the prince, so he took the opportunity to frame the prince Liu Ju. He told Hou Han that the eunuch Su Wen and four others were framed by the prince. Liu Ju raised an army in fear.

Because Liu Shao and his younger brother Liu Jun did many shameful things, in order to prevent the leak, they asked Yan Daoyu, the witch raised by his sister in the palace for help. Yan Daoyu helped the two with witchcraft. After this incident was known to Emperor Wen of Song, they ordered the two to send Yan Daoyu away, but they did not listen to Emperor Wen of Song at all. After learning that Yan Daoyu was still in the Eastern Palace, Emperor Wen of Song was furious and decided to depose the crown prince and kill Liu Jun. Because of the leak of Concubine Pan Shu, under Liu Jun's instigation, Liu Shao led his troops to the palace at night, killed his father and killed the monarch, and proclaimed himself emperor.

Although Tuoba Shao was a prince, he was vicious, cruel, sinister and rebellious, and did not abide by the teachings. Tuoba Shao's mother, Mrs. He, was imprisoned in the palace by Emperor Daowu for making a mistake, and intended to kill her. Later, Mrs. He secretly sent someone to tell her son the news. That night, Tuoba Shao summoned several samurai and eunuchs under the tent to contact him to plan to jump over the wall into the palace and kill Emperor Daowu Tuoba Gui.

In the later period of Wu Zetian's reign, due to limited energy and no time to deal with political affairs, Zhang Yizhi, who was favored by him, began to interfere in political affairs, which was contradicted by most court officials. The son of Prince Li Xian, Li Chongrun, daughter of Princess Yongtai, Li Xianhui, and son-in-law of Wu Yangen, secretly discussed that the conflict between the Wu Group, Liu Group and the two Zhang broke out in full swing.

Li Chongjun is the eldest son of Emperor Zhongwu Li Xian of Tang Dynasty. Although he was made the crown prince, his position was extremely unstable. The Wu group led by Wu Sansi in the court was eyeing him. In the harem, Empress Wei, Princess Anle was ambitious. Li Chongjun, who was under pressure, joined forces with the Left Jinwu General Li Qianli, the Left Yulin General Li Duozuo, the Right Yulin General Li Sichong, Li Chengkuang, Dugu Yizhi, Shazha Zhongyi and others to lead more than 300 thousand cavalrymen at the left and right Yulin Army level to launch a mutiny.

I won’t say much about the Mawei mutiny. If Emperor Ming of Tang had not been foolish and incompetent in his old age, and even the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Crown Prince Li Heng would not have risen and resigned.

As for the Five Dynasties Kings Jipeng, Zhu Liang, and Zhu Yougui, who were not prince rebellions that broke out because of the innocence of the emperor or the unvirtuous prince.

As for the rebellion of Li Ning Ling Ge of Western Xia, it was caused by Li Yuanhao's incompetence. Li Ning Ling Ge married Wu Jieshan's daughter Wu Jie as the crown princess, but Li Yuanhao took a fancy to his daughter-in-law and directly snatched him away and made him a concubine, called "New Empress". Li Ning Ling Ge married Wu Zang again, but was attracted by Li Yuanhao and wanted to make him the queen and depose the original Queen Yeli. Later, the Mo Zang gave birth to Li Liangzuo, and Li Yuanhao wanted to change Li Liangzuo as the crown prince and deposed Li Ning Ling Ge, which caused dissatisfaction between Li Ning Ling Ge and his son, and the conflict between father and son escalated. Under the instigation of the Prime Minister Wu Zang Epang, Li Ning Ling Ge took the risk."

After a pause, Chen Junqing concluded: "After seeing these examples, I have concluded that the rebellion of princes is mostly due to the injustice of the emperor or the unvirtuous prince, rather than planning. Moreover, no policy is perfect. Moreover, some people are uneasy or are too ambitious, so this kind of thing can only be determined according to the political situation. In addition, we must admit that some objective reality is that there are father-son relationships between Your Majesty and other princes. Your Majesty cannot not consider the future of other princes. Secondly, Your Majesty's princes are not only eight or nine or eighty or ninety, but eight or nine hundred, and there may be one or two thousand in the future. The key is that there are indeed many talents among these princes, so in this case, Your Majesty will never be able to keep them all in the capital."

Yu Yunwen said unwillingly: "No possibility at all?"

Chen Junqing said without a reply: "How big is Yanjing City? How can we hold so many princes?"

Yu Yunwen could only complain in his heart: "Your Majesty is so capable!"

Chen Junqing said again: "The following words are only from my mouth and from your ears, and are not worthy of being told by outsiders. If you tell them to others, I will not admit them."

Yu Yunwen simply swore: "If I say something to a third person today, I will teach me to die on the streets and be infatuated for thousands of years."

Chen Junqing said without comment: "There are two objective facts that exist. I think you must know, that is, His Royal Highness is in poor health and His Royal Highness has no descendants."

Yu Yunwen said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because of these two things that I go to remind Your Highness."

Chen Junqing said leisurely: "If I guess correctly, go and tell Your Highness that Your Highness shouldn't answer you, right? Have you figured out the reason?"

Yu Yunwen said the truth: "I figured it out, but I still don't understand it more."

Chen Junqing glanced at Yu Yunwen and said, "Do you think your highness can beat Your Majesty? If Your Majesty rebels, is there a possibility of success?"

Yu Yunwen shook his head without even thinking about it, saying, "Although your Highness is talented and outstanding in all aspects, he cannot beat Your Majesty no matter what. Your Majesty's achievements and prestige are too high, and there is no big mistake. No one will support Your Highness in rebellion. Therefore, if Your Highness rebelled, it would be tantamount to self-destruction."

After hearing this, Chen Junqing said leisurely: "Then why do you still want to talk to Your Highness about this? Even if Your Highness knows all this, what can you do?"

Yu Yunwen stood there in an instant!

He figured it out!

Only in one case can Li Cun succeed in inheriting Li Yan's throne, that is, Li Cun completely obeys Li Yan's arrangements. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding Li Cun is, he would never inherit Li Yan's throne!

In other words, Li Yan really recognized Li Cun and really wanted to pass his throne to Li Cun. The problem with Li Cun, whether it was in poor health or not, was nothing, was no problem anymore. On the contrary, if Li Yan was unwilling to pass his throne to Li Cun, no matter what Li Cun did, he would not have the chance to become the emperor of the Great Middle School!

Therefore, Li Cun’s smartest way now is to follow Li Yan’s arrangements in everything, rather than act rashly.

It is obvious that Li Cun has realized this, so he did not listen to Yu Yunwen's words. Chen Junqing also realized this, so he came to stop Yu Yunwen from continuing to do stupid things.

At this time, Yu Yunwen realized a great enlightenment, "The prince is very outstanding and is very suitable to inherit the vast empire of Dazhong. However, whether the prince can inherit His Majesty's throne is not necessarily the case. It depends on His Majesty's final attitude. I will take a long way to stand!"

Chen Junqing's voice sounded again: "What you should do is how to help Your Highness establish virtue and assist Your Highness in handling political affairs and managing Dazhong, rather than helping Your Highness out of ideas... In view of your fact that you are a talented person in the Great Middle School, I will remind you at the end that Your Highness has won the No. 1 Emperor of the Eternal Emperor who has won the world from scratch. He never has the sand in his eyes, so you should do it yourself."
