Chapter 481: The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is gone and the bow is hidden? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

...

After the Hundred Emperors Banquet, Li Cun disappeared for more than half a month.

It is said that Li Cun has been fooling around with queens, queens, queens, chiefs' wives, princesses, and princesses from various countries, and even many queens, queens, queens, chiefs' wives, princesses, and princesses who are over 50 years old this time They all drank a bowl of thick soup.

Li Cun's abnormal behavior caused many people to worry.

These people quickly reported their concerns to Li Biao.

Li Biao also felt that Li Cun had been acting strangely recently, and he was worried about whether Li Cun had some physical problem or something, so he hurriedly came to see Li Cun.

Who would have thought that Li Cun did not meet Li Biao, but asked his "health doctor" Chen Miaozhen to deliver his instructions: "I'm fine. The prince will see you again in half a month."

After conveying Li Cun's imperial edict, Chen Miaozhen, who knew what Li Biao was worried about and Li Cun's intention of not letting others come to see Li Biao and asked her to come to see Li Biao, said to Li Biao: "The physique of officials is naturally different from ordinary people, and they are diligent. Practice Taoist health-preserving skills and pay attention to maintaining your body, so that your bones and muscles will be as strong as those of a young man, and the prince will not need to worry about the official family."

After thinking about it, Chen Miaozhen simply made it clear to Li Biao: "I checked the official's pulse just this morning. Based on my observation for many years of practicing medicine, the official's pulse is very strong and has a long history, and he will probably live to be over a hundred years old."

Li Biao knew that Chen Miaozhen was a miracle doctor and had saved countless lives over the years. This was because Chen Miaozhen had trained hundreds of thousands of doctors, so she no longer had to treat illnesses and save people herself. Now she had just returned to the palace to settle down and work part-time as an imperial physician.

But Chen Miaozhen said that his father could live more than a hundred years old if he had at least three or five girls every day, and opened at least one virgin girl every day. It's fake. It's obviously similar to those who call his father long live. They are all complimenting his father.

Of course, Li Biao had no intention of hoping that his father would die early so that he could succeed to the throne immediately.

In fact, although Li Biao is now called the Crown Prince, his power is almost the same as that of the Emperor. Therefore, even if his father dies now, he will just change his name, which will not bring much benefit.

Moreover, Li Biao knew very well that his father had long been satisfied with being the emperor, especially after he conquered half of the world. If it weren't for the fact that his father still had so many princes to settle, his father would have been The emperor had long since retreated to his harem to live happily, so as long as he promised his father to cooperate with his father in placing his younger brothers, his father would most likely give up the throne to him.

However, Li Biao never had the confidence to govern Daqian, the largest dynasty in history. He needed his wise and powerful father to use the title of emperor to embolden him, help him intimidate Xiaoxiao, and guide him in the direction, so he didn't ask for it. This throne.

Let's put it this way, Li Biao thinks it's good to be like this now. He can flex his muscles without having to worry about the rebellion of those powerful officials, and he doesn't have to worry about distractions. He also has a clear direction. Why not?

At this time, Li Biao found that Chen Miaozhen was looking at him with a solemn expression.

Li Biao took the initiative and asked: "Why does Concubine De have such an expression?"

Chen Miaozhen did not hide it, but said bluntly: "Has the prince had a good rest recently?"

Li Biao lied without thinking: "Of course, I have been working hard to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people, so what do I have to do?"

Chen Miaozhen was not deceived by Li Biao's lies, but said directly: "Can you let me take the prince's pulse number one?"

Li Biao felt that he was in good health, so he confidently stretched out his hand and said, "Concubine De, just call her."

Chen Miaozhen stretched out a finger to check Li Biao's pulse, and then Chen Miaozhen's expression became more solemn.

Perhaps because Li Biao was the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty and the future emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, and had a very important relationship, Chen Miaozhen cautiously stretched out two fingers to check Li Biao's pulse.

After a long while, Chen Miaozhen retracted her finger, then looked directly at Li Biao and said, "There is no disease on the prince's body."

Hearing what Chen Miaozhen said, the corners of Li Biao's mouth curled up. He was usually not a womanizer and practiced martial arts diligently. How could there be something wrong with his body?

But before Li Biao could completely grin, Chen Miaozhen changed her tone and continued: "However, the prince rests for less than two hours every day, and practices martial arts too hard, which seriously overdraws his body. If the prince does not change, within ten years There will be big problems with your body.”

This time Li Biao understood why Chen Miaozhen came to see him, and it was his father who was worried that his body would collapse if he was too diligent.

To be honest, Li Biao felt that his father was a little too worried. He felt that his physical condition was very good, and he even thought that two hours of rest a day was enough.

The key is that his father left him an unprecedentedly large empire. If he didn't manage it carefully and caused problems in the Daqian Dynasty or even the death of his second generation, then Li Biao would really be the same as Hu Hai.

Furthermore, didn't his father also say that if a dynasty perishes, it must first be caused by internal problems, such as the emperor being fatuous, party fighting, the government's agenda being chaotic, corrupt officials running rampant, and the people unable to live and work in peace and contentment. He must You have to take care of all this personally to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Daqian Dynasty.

However, Li Biao also knew that his father had good intentions, but he did not recognize it from the bottom of his heart.

But then again, Li Biao didn't want his father to worry too much, so he continued to lie: "I know, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Chen Miaozhen had already said what needed to be said, she had done what Li Cun had asked her to do, and Li Biao had solemnly made a guarantee. What else could Chen Miaozhen say?

Chen Miaozhen could only take out a recipe and give it to Li Biao, and then said: "This recipe is the Shiquan Dabu Decoction left by my master. No matter how busy the official family is, they must drink a bowl every day. This can help the official family." He is always strong and vigorous, and his body is like that of a young man. The official ordered me to give this recipe to the prince. The prince can find one or two skilled people to prepare the medicine and cook this soup for the prince every day. As long as the prince takes it every day like the official, he will be cured. The prince will be free from all diseases and live a long and healthy life."

When Li Biao heard the words "dragon is strong and tiger is fierce", his thoughts immediately went astray. He thought to himself: "It turns out that this medicine harmed my father!"

——Li Biao immediately had no good impressions of Chen Miaozhen, who had a great reputation. He only felt that in order to get his father to support her in promoting medicine, Chen Miaozhen actually gave his father the medicine of tiger and wolf to please his father and make his father betray him. He is notorious for being lustful and lustful.

But Li Biao knew that Chen Miaozhen was his father's favorite concubine, and he definitely couldn't bring down Chen Miaozhen. Well, it should be said that he couldn't bring down any of his father's concubines, because his royal father didn't allow him or anyone to control him. Things in the father's palace.

Furthermore, Chen Miaozhen is an elder after all, and he cannot allow Li Biao to deal with it.

but--

Although Li Biao cannot touch Chen Miaozhen, he will not be controlled by Chen Miaozhen.

Therefore, after he separated from Chen Miaozhen, Li Biao tore up the recipe for Shiquan Dabu Decoction that Chen Miaozhen gave him, and then threw it into the flower bed.

When Chen Miaozhen came back, she nodded to Li Cun and signaled that she had finished what Li Cun told her. With Shiquan Dabu Decoction, Li Biao could live to be at least 50 years old.

Seeing this, Li Cun immediately continued playing cards with a group of old babies with confidence.

Don't get me wrong, this time Li Cun was really playing cards with his once doted and now elderly concubine. They were playing ordinary cards, not the kind between men and women, you know.

In fact, during the past half month, Li Cun has been spending time with the elderly concubines he once doted on, playing with them.

Of course, there are rumors outside that Li Cun fights fiercely every day with queens, queens, ketuns, chiefs' wives, princesses, and princesses from various countries, even those who are over 50 years old. , the princess, and the princess all drank a bowl of thick soup, which is not considered a rumor.

However, this is all at night.

Li Cun did not show off his prostitution in daylight.

During the day, Li Cun spent time playing various games with his elderly concubines and chatting with her about the past.The reason why Li Cun is so abnormal and interested in these elderly concubines and no longer only plays with the young and beautiful concubines as before is not because Li Cun has changed his gender or has something special. Hobby, but because Li Cun was leaving the Daqian Dynasty, and Li Cun was not prepared to take his elderly concubines with him.

Some people may want to ask, is Li Cun leaving the Daqian Dynasty?Where to go?

Where else can he go? There is still half of the territory that does not belong to the Daqian Dynasty. Li Cun will go there.

Li Cun made this decision for many reasons:

First of all, Li Cun has so many children and grandchildren that although Li Cun has divided the Prince Continent into [-] vassal states, and divided another [-] vassal states in Southeast Asia, he is also planning to divide Japan and the four northern states. Island and Sakhalin Island and other places were also divided into ten or twenty vassal states, but even so, this fiefdom was still not enough.

Secondly, Li Cun, who is well versed in the essence of struggle, knows very well that there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. Therefore, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

In layman's terms, either the Daqian Dynasty conquered and scared all the neighboring countries, so that the neighboring countries did not dare to challenge the Daqian Dynasty, or they waited until the surrounding neighboring countries became stronger. Sooner or later, they would One day they will come to harass and invade the Daqian Dynasty.

Don't think this is alarmist.

Think about it, who are the enemies that Li Cun has not yet conquered?

The Huns, Turks, and Uighurs from the countries in the Western Regions, the Kievan Rus who have not yet come to Siberia, people from the Arab world, people from the Tianzhu world, and people from the Western world.

Historically, none of these people had fought with the Chinese, and some of them traveled thousands of miles to invade China and took away a large number of China's treasures and even a lot of territory.

Therefore, if you want to have long-term peace, you can only attack first and conquer all the enemies that threaten the Daqian Dynasty, so that they will be frightened when they hear the name of the Daqian Dynasty and dare not infringe on the Daqian Dynasty. idea.

Thirdly, although Li Cun used the enfeoffment to send many surrendered troops of foreign races to the Prince Continent, there were still a large number of surrendered troops of foreign races flooding the army of the Daqian Dynasty.

Let's put it this way, Li Cun is still dissatisfied with the proportion of foreign officers and soldiers in the Qian Army, and plans to further reduce the proportion of foreign soldiers in the Qian Army to make the Qian Army safer and more reliable.

in fact--

For ordinary soldiers, even the current ratio is not unacceptable.

The real trouble is those generals who have made great achievements.

For example, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Zhao Li, Li Yanxian...

The cunning rabbit dies and the good dog is cooked.The tall birds are gone, but the good bow is hidden.The enemy's country is destroyed and his advisers are dead.

Liu Bang killed almost all the kings with different surnames. The most famous one was Empress Lu who killed Han Xin, leaving behind the allusion of "Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails".

Lao Zhu, whom Li Cun admired the most, was even more ruthless. He burned down the Qinggong Building and almost killed all the heroes. In the early Ming Dynasty, less than ten of the Dukes, Marquises and Bozhongs were left.

Even Zhao Kuangyin had a drink to release his military power.

Li Cun disliked the way Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang treated their heroes.

Zhao Kuangyin's method also brought endless troubles, so Li Cun didn't like it either.

Li Cun prefers the way Liu Xiu and Li Shimin treat heroes.

The former, after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, did not kill the heroes, but rewarded them greatly. It can be said that those who conquer the world with Liu Xiu are the happiest.

Among the latter, except for Hou Junji who wanted to rebel, few of the heroes were killed in Li Shimin's dynasty, so Li Cun praised Li Shimin's relationship between emperor and minister.

But the problem is that both of these methods also have consequences.

In the former, Liu Xiu's preferential treatment of the heroes, although the brothers who conquered the world with him were well rewarded for their efforts, was actually not a good thing for the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, because the descendants of these heroes slowly formed many aristocratic families. These aristocratic clans were parasitic on the Eastern Han Dynasty. They annexed land and exploited the common people, but they did not bring any benefits to the country. From this point of view, although Liu Xiu treated his brothers favorably, he suffered a loss from the common people.

Although the latter treated his heroes well and had no arrogant ministers in his dynasty, this was only because Li Shimin was the most capable emperor in history. Compared with Li Shimin, who was good at conquering and fighting, he did not have any generals who made particularly great achievements. (Even generals like Li Jing and Li Ji seemed to be unable to reach the level of superiority in front of Li Shimin.) Also, most of the people who followed Li Tang to conquer the country came from aristocratic families, and they knew how to advance and retreat. , unlike other dynasties, most of the heroes who founded the country were from Wuhan, so after the country stabilized, these people became the scourge of the country.

Li Cun can definitely reach the height of Li Shimin, even higher than Li Shimin, and he can definitely suppress all the heroes.

But Li Cun didn't know whether Li Biao, who was suspicious by nature and full of thoughts that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me", would be able to get along well with Yue Fei and other heroes after his death, whether there would be conflicts between monarchs and ministers, or even because of Mutual suspicion between the monarch and his ministers led to the demise of the Daqian Dynasty.

Li Cun did not want to leave these problems to Li Biao, who had a ruthless and cold-blooded character, but was prepared to solve this hidden danger himself.

How to deal with it?

Li Cun planned to learn from Temujin and continue to fight westward with his old brothers. When one day, these old brothers of his could no longer fight or were unwilling to fight anymore, and he would be far away from the Daqian Dynasty. Give them a certain amount of land and population and let them inherit it from generation to generation.

In this way, Li Cun can not only solve the hidden dangers of the Daqian Dynasty, but also live up to these people who have made great contributions to the Daqian Dynasty.

In short, Li Cun was prepared to take away everything that might affect the rule and stability of the Daqian Dynasty, and then leave an iron-barrel Daqian Dynasty to his descendants.

Li Cun was even prepared to take away all his concubines to prevent them from becoming a burden to his descendants.

Li Cun thought that since he could take them in, he would definitely be able to support them, and he would not let others help him support them.

but--

The concubines who were with Li Cun in his early years, including most of the women he snatched from the Liao Empire and the Zhao and Song Dynasties, are now quite old. Letting them wander around with Li Cun may cost their lives.

Therefore, Li Cun planned to keep all these elderly concubines and let them retire in peace in the picturesque Jiangnan.

To be honest, Li Cun estimated that when he left, he might say goodbye to these women whom he had loved or at least liked, at least with some of them.

That's why Li Cuncai deliberately took a month to spend with them before he left, leaving some beautiful memories for each other...
