The Limit of Rule
Chapter 1375:The Limit of Rule
"How can I tell you what your majesty is thinking, and why do I not know what he thinks more and more?"Still the small building built on the cliff, the eldest son asked with a teacup in his hand.
This was originally a lone house, although handed to Li Huan trusteeship, but still belongs to the Pei family, but some time ago, the eldest son did not leave the official, the result is that he even found Pei Lian's son Pei lawyer, spent money to buy this other hospital, said that although the Pei lawyer is a horse, but all the years outside the official, a few years is difficult to sell to Chang'an once, so this other hospital is useless, in addition to this and the eldest son.
Li Hugh sat in front of the eldest grandson, but he did not answer each other's words at this time, but looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled: "Big brother, you are fast, this other hospital I helped Pei Gong to take care of for many years, I wanted to buy it later for the use of old age, but I did not expect to be robbed by you first."
"Haha, I am more than you need this other house, after all, only to live here, in order to let people know my heart!" 」The eldest son heard Li Hugh's words but laughed, the original Pei Lian resigned official lived here, never entered the court, and now the eldest grandson bought here and lived, in fact, is to show the outside world that he wants to imitate Pei silence, in order to rest the hearts of others, in contrast, Li Hue does not need these.
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson, Li Huo could not help but laugh, and could say that the eldest grandson gave up his power to resign his pension, which also made him put down a big stone in his heart, and now Li Zhi has completely mastered the court, and it is more convenient for him to act in the future.
"Brother Li, you don't want to change the subject, Jin Er and Cheng Qian's affairs can be strange, your majesty should let them go, it does not look like an emperor's work?"At this time, the eldest grandson suddenly turned the topic to the question he had just raised, and his eyes were also confused when he spoke.
"Your eldest brother has already retired from the court, why should you worry about these things?"Li Heu did not seem to want to discuss this matter, so he asked again.
"Can I not worry, you are one of my few friends, if something happens to Jin, maybe even you will be involved, let alone the inheritance, although our relationship is a little estranged, but he and his majesty, are the son of a little sister, I do not want to see their brothers disabled!" 」At this time, the eldest grandson was sitting upright.
When the eldest grandson said these words, Li Huo also kept staring at his eyes until he found that the other party's eyes were firm, and indeed from the heart, he sighed: "Thanks to the elder brother's concern, but Jin Er and Cheng Qian there you do not have to worry, your majesty has his own intention!" 」
“What are you going to do, can’t you give me a wind?”The eldest son asked again without hesitation, if he did not understand the thoughts in Li Zhi's heart, he will certainly not be able to sleep these days.
In the face of the long-grandson's unbridled questioning, Li Hu also seemed very helpless, and now hesitated for a while, then finally said: "Big brother, after the Xuanwumen, I will send them to the Americas, you are also a participant in this matter, so I want to ask you, why did the emperor agree to let go of them?"
“Why did you suddenly ask about this?”The eldest son heard Li Hugh suddenly mentioned the Xuanwumen thing, and now he couldn't help but stutter, this matter is taboo in the face, even if Li Shimin has passed away, but no one dares to discuss it publicly.
"The eldest brother doesn't have to think much, you just have to tell me why the first emperor agreed to let go of them?"Li Huo was open again with a straight face.
"This..." the eldest grandson heard here finally meditating for a moment, and then began to answer, "At that time, although the first emperor controlled Chang'an, but the situation is not stable, and you threatened to send the inheritance and other people with hot steam balloons to all places, if it is true, the Tang Dynasty will be everywhere, this is the emperor does not want to see."
Speaking of this, only to see the eldest grandson without hesitation and then said: "Of course, in addition to this reason, your majesty's mood at that time is also very complicated, one is to kill the hidden prince, your majesty's heart is not well, the second does not want to do to you and Princess Pingyang, of course, the most important thing is that you will send them to the Americas, after all, the Americas are too far away, as long as they go there, want to come back again..."
Just when the eldest grandson said to the end, he suddenly stopped to stay there, because he vaguely guessed Li Zhi's mind, but the idea was too bold, and he couldn't believe it for a while.
Seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson, Li Hu couldn't help but laugh, and after personally picking up the teapot for each other and pouring tea, it smiled again: "Although there is a saying called the kingland, the world is too big, and under the current conditions, the territory that Datang can rule is also limited, and like the Americas, it is a place that is beyond the reach of the Tang!"
With ancient traffic and communication conditions, if the land area of a country is too large, it will certainly be a problem, such as a major event on the frontier, but it takes half a year or even a year to get the news to the emperor's ears, and then the emperor's orders are transmitted, which is longer.
And completely handing over the power to the local officials, because it is bound to make the court lose its rule over the locality, so before there is no revolutionary change in transportation and communication, the territory of an imperial rule is indeed bound, and looking at all the countries of the world, the most outstanding in the ruling is the Central Plains dynasties, which is the reason why each dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty is counted in the world.
"I understand that your majesty is your student, he naturally knew that the world is very large, in addition to the Central Plains, there are many lands and seas in this world, and although the Tang Dynasty is strong, the boundaries of the rule are limited, such as the western region and the South Ocean, the rule of these two places has reached the limit of Datang, and then expand outward, Datang can not effectively rule!"The eldest son heard the sound of his eyes shining here.
He finally understood Li Zhi's thoughts, but as an emperor, he had such a mind, which made him feel admiration for Li Zhi, and even felt that he was really looking at his nephew before.
Seeing the appearance of the eldest son, Li Hugh was smiling slightly, and he also guessed the thoughts in Li Zhi's heart not long ago, which also made him feel very relieved that his students did not disappoint him.
