Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4043 Feudal world
Fang Jun first ordered his servants to prepare a banquet, and then went to the main gate to welcome Li Zhi into the mansion. The two came to the flower hall to sit down. I don’t know what wind brought you here?”

Although this Liang Guogong's mansion is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, Li Zhi is the one who is most likely to become the heir at the moment, and if he visits the door rashly, no matter what his real purpose is, it will inevitably lead to speculation from the outside world...

Li Zhi took a shallow sip of tea, put down his teacup and smiled wryly, "I am so worried that I toss and turn every night. I hope my brother-in-law can show me a bright way."

It was only then that Fang Jun noticed that His Royal Highness, who was quite handsome in the past, had dark circles around his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was extremely haggard...

He couldn't help wondering: "Your Highness is of the blood of the royal family, so noble, why is he so haggard?"

Li Zhi rubbed his hands, hesitated, and asked without answering: "The royal navy was created by his brother-in-law, and it has overwhelmed all nations across the seven seas. I don't know if there is any large-scale action going on right now?"

Fang Jun was at a loss: "What does His Highness mean by 'large-scale action'?"

Li Zhidao: "For example, such a big move as the overthrow of Annan, the Wa Kingdom, or other foreign countries?"

Fang Jun thought for a while, and said: "Although the strength of the navy is the best in Nanyang, enough to overthrow the country with a flick of a finger, it can't kill and fight recklessly. You must always take into account the feelings of those native barbarians. , will affect Datang Tianwei, we can't kill all those natives one or two? One is that we don't have the energy, and another one has to do business with us... So the navy's strategy in Dongyang and Nanyang is based on deterrence , so that all countries feel the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and fear the mighty power of the Tang Dynasty. Although there are occasional killings, they still focus on protecting the trade routes and waterways, and there is no plan to massacre the clan and exterminate the country."

The Tang Dynasty is a well-deserved super empire in the world, unrivaled in the world, and the navy is the overlord of the ocean, and it is impossible to resist under the whole world.However, the navy pursued a strategy of deterrent force and cultural colonization. Simple killing and looting could only be rampant for a while, and eventually caused panic and resistance, which plunged the empire into endless wars and dragged down its national strength.

Absorbing the wealth of the world and spreading the civilization of China is the purpose of the Navy's existence.

Killing and looting like barbarians and beasts, even if they succeed for a while, they will eventually be driven out and defeated and lose their rule in the long run, leaving a blood debt in vain. It is really stupid...

It has never been the style of Chinese civilization to exhaust the pond and fish.

"However, why does Your Highness care about the navy's strategy and overseas situation?" Fang Jun was puzzled.

Li Zhi sighed, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he could see that His Highness was under a lot of pressure and was very anxious: "Can brother-in-law order the navy to attack a country?"

Fang Jun was simply baffled: "What exactly does Your Highness want?"

Li Zhi sighed and said: "To be honest, I don't want to fight for the heir, but my father's intention... Therefore, this king wants to find an opportunity, or I can ask my father to let me go, and follow the example of the third brother who founded the country, sealed the borders, and served the country. fence."

Fang Jun suddenly realized.

His Majesty Li Er's decision to change the crown has indeed brought great opportunities to the princes. This kind of situation that is close to "fair competition" is absolutely impossible in the past. Who can not covet the ninety-five supreme position?But at the same time, nature is also facing tremendous pressure.

The jug of poisoned wine in the Youtunwei camp seems to still make His Royal Highness Jin fearful and uneasy, like a tarsal maggot...

Fang Jun thought for a while, and then asked: "How can you be sure that His Majesty will allow you to build a feudal foreign land and serve as a fence for the country?"

His Majesty Li Er is very good to his sons, but the five fingers have different lengths, and there is still a difference between them.Naturally, the sons-in-law are the most favored and valued, especially King Wei and King Jin.King Wei was smart, clever and cunning since he was a child, and his literary talent was the best among the princes, and he was deeply loved by His Majesty Li Er.King Jin is different. Empress Wende's funeral was in her infancy. His Majesty Li Er took pity on her when she lost her mother when she was young, so she raised him and Princess Jinyang by her side and raised her personally until she grew up. And deeper than the rest.

Therefore, both the ruling and opposition parties believed that after the crown prince was abolished, the new crown prince might be more likely to be the king of Jin. If it was public or private, how could His Majesty Li Er agree to allow the king of Jin to go to a foreign land to build a country and never return to the court?
Li Zhi rubbed his face, and said dejectedly: "Father always dotes on me, if I kneel down and beg with firm attitude, I think father will definitely agree, but right now there is no such opportunity, like those bitter cold places in the Western Regions and Mobei Father Earth will definitely not allow it, so I ask my brother-in-law for help."

Fang Jun looked at him with burning eyes: "The crown prince may only be one step away from you. Your Highness is not a pity? I have gone to Guanshan for thousands of miles, far away from the sea, and the day of returning to Beijing is far away. Your Highness will not regret it?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then leaned back on the back of the chair, his whole body was a little slack, he stared blankly at the beams of the room, and said after a while: "Why is it not a pity? The sun and the moon... However, if they want to step on that position, they have to step on the corpses of their brothers and feet, and soak in the blood of their brothers. Like the father, even the emperor, even the most respected in the world, often dreams back at midnight and regrets endlessly..."

What's more, he still has to face his father's cruel selection. Although the winner will soar into the sky, the loser will be doomed——Fang Jun said this in his heart for Li Zhi.

As Li Zhizhi said, who can remain indifferent to the position of emperor?Whenever there is a slightest opportunity, one should strive for it.It's just that the glass of poisoned wine in the Youtunwei camp made the two brothers Wei Wang and Jin Wang still have lingering fears about the "ruthless and cold heart" shown by His Majesty Li Er. Go up and down the house and fight.

Fang Jun stopped talking, waved to Li Zhi, got up and came to the study, and stood in front of a wall. On the wall was a huge map. According to the graphics on the map, it should be the detailed topography of the East and South Seas...

Fang Jun brushed over Goguryeo protruding out of the sea, and nodded at Silla: "This is Silla, His Royal Highness King Wu guards this place."

Then the fingers kept moving, and continued to the right, staying on a long and narrow island running northeast and southwest: "This is the country of Wa. Before that, the power minister Suga conspired to rebel and kill the emperor of the country of Japan. Now it is under the control of the navy. The western regions of the country are long and narrow, with many mountains and few lands, and earthquakes and tsunamis occur from time to time, but the climate is mild, and the gold and silver minerals are extremely rich. Inside, it's not difficult."

Fang Jun withdrew his hand and turned to look at Li Zhi: "What do you think of this place, Your Highness?"

Li Zhi stared blankly at a long and narrow area composed of many islands, and lost his voice for a while, because he knew that as long as he nodded, the navy would launch a bloody massacre, killing the original ruler of the Japanese kingdom Clean and tidy, offer this foreign land with both hands, and become the land he guards in this life.

The Chinese Tang Dynasty has no return period...

Fang Jun patted him on the shoulder, expressing his understanding for his hesitation at the moment: "Such a major event in life, you should consider it carefully... Weichen has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, let's have a few drinks, this matter will be decided slowly It won't be too late, any time His Highness makes a decision, the navy will kill all the natives of the Wa Kingdom, and enshrine the islands of the Wa Kingdom to His Highness."

Even though Li Zhi was talented and intelligent, and could grow into a generation of emperors with extraordinary achievements in history, he is only a teenager at present. Faced with such life-changing choices, he will inevitably worry about gains and losses and be in a dilemma.

However, to his surprise, Li Zhi ignored him, continued to stand in front of the map for a while, and then suddenly said: "This matter has been decided by the king, and I ask my brother-in-law to help me!"

After saying that, he turned around, bowed to Fang Jun and touched the ground.

Fang Jun stepped forward to help him up, sighed and said: "Why should I say thank you? Although you and I are not close, but it is Uncle Lang, this little help can still be of help."

Li Zhi is indeed a character, he quickly cleared up his emotions, and laughed: "Not to mention that this king's choice is tantamount to eliminating a competitor for the prince brother. Blood, I don’t even have a decent mansion and palace, and my brother-in-law is rich in the world, I don’t know if I can give a sum of money as a gift when the king travels east?”

Fang Jun took Li Zhi's hand and came to the side hall. The banquet was ready. The two sat at the table, pouring wine from a pot, and said with a smile: "What's the point of mere money? When the time comes, I will send your highness a few gunboats, A batch of muskets is enough to make His Highness run amok across the islands of the Wa Kingdom, create a country, and be famous forever! Come, drink the Holy Spirit!"

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one go.

Li Zhi resisted the spicy drink, added a mouthful of vegetables, and while chewing, he thought about how to develop his ambitions in that barbaric and desolate land like a blank sheet of paper, how to make achievements, and create enough to pass on to the world. The achievements of future generations stretching over a hundred generations, the sadness and resentment brought about by leaving Beijing with a ruthless heart have disappeared a lot...

The two drank for three rounds, during which Li Zhi inquired about the situation of the Wa country in detail, very seriously.

After the banquet, Fang Jun wrote a letter to Su Dingfang in front of Li Zhi, ordering him to arrange a big move before returning to Beijing to report on his duties, completely eradicating the remaining emperor's power and the Su'er clan in the Wa Kingdom, and taking the islands of the Wa Kingdom into Datang Within the territory, and a quick decision must be made.

Seeing Fang Jun's domineering style exposed in his writing, he didn't care about conquering a country with a snap of his fingers, and he yearned for the days when he was freed from the shackles of the Tang royal family and roamed overseas...

Who doesn't want the throne?

But the current situation in Chang'an is like a prison, and there is always a catastrophe. It is better to abandon all the current things and fight for a bright future by yourself, create an imperial hegemony, open up territories like the "First Emperor", and create a dynasty single-handedly, isn't it? Not happy?
