After pondering for a long time, Zhao Xuanji decided to speak more straightforwardly.
"King Wen has been working hard in Jinling for more than 20 years. When the late emperor gave the Jinling fiefdom to King Wen, the plan behind this move was to value King Wen's reputation as a virtuous man in the government and the public at that time, and Queen Wen's mother-in-law was from a southern clan.
A truly wealthy family, the entire family has spread its branches in the south, and its roots are deeply rooted in all aspects of several provinces in the south. Even the imperial court is not as good as them in doing things in the south. Therefore, among the many princes, only King Wen can guarantee that he will go to Jinling.
Peace in the South.”
"And the southern provinces have always been the land of plenty and the richest in the world. They shoulder the important responsibility of supporting the imperial court and even most of the north. They must not cause trouble. Therefore, the late emperor expected King Wen to sit in the south and assist the emperor in managing this largest province.
This was the late emperor’s specific plan to create the world’s granary and provide an endless stream of money and food support for the imperial court’s work.”
Li Chen took the conversation and sneered: "Since the beginning of Taizu's enfeoffment, has there been any change in imperial power without the shadow and disturbance of the vassal king? The weight of the vassal king has already dragged down the Qin Empire for more than three hundred years.
The late emperor himself won the throne by fighting with his brothers, so why did everyone expect their children to live in harmony? As long as the imperial power is still there, as long as the feudal system is still there, you can never trust the vassal kings. This is
, the late emperor was also wrong."
This sentence can be described as treasonous.
But speaking also depends on the situation and the person you are talking to.
The space is now sealed, and there are only two people, Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji. If you talk about something vain, you will not only disrespect each other, but also demean yourself, so Li Chen has no scruples at all.
Because he knew very well that such words were nothing to the two of them, and Zhao Xuanji would never be bored enough to spread these words to Li Chen to attract an attack and annihilate them, which would ruin the situation.
Zhao Xuanji smiled and said: "So, when His Highness succeeds to the throne, he plans to change the ancestral system?"
Li Chen said calmly: "That will happen in the future, not to mention that I have not changed the ancestral system. As long as I can successfully eliminate the vassal, do you think I can continue to leave such a big hidden danger to future generations? History has already passed.
Prove that enfeoffment is undesirable."
Zhao Xuanji sighed softly and said: "Frankly speaking, His Highness's talents and strategies are unique among those of the Li family for hundreds of years."
"Do you regret that you killed me before I could supervise the country?" Li Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanji nodded and said sincerely: "I regret it very much. I regret it day and night."
Li Chen laughed.
Although this doesn't sound good, is it not the greatest compliment to Li Chen?
Li Chen's laughter made Zhao Xuanji a little depressed. He simply picked up the topic that had just been diverted and continued: "King Wen is so powerful that he is not only in Jinling, but also radiates to several provinces in the south. Even if the old ministers are gone, they will still be rootless duckweeds."
, I’m afraid it won’t have much of a containment effect.”
Li Chen stopped laughing, raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned on the soft backrest, looked at Zhao Xuanji in front of him and said: "So I personally send King Wu to the fiefdom."
Zhao Xuanji said in a deep voice: "But His Highness will eventually leave. His temporary power will not last long."
