Seeing Li Yun’s puzzled look, Li Zhen pondered for a moment, then said, “Brother Seven, our brothers are not outsiders, so I just said something.”

When Li Zhen said this, he stretched out his finger and dipped it in the soup, wrote the words "Legislative" and "San" on the table, and then said: "Our Tang Dynasty has always been passed on to the legitimate but not the legitimate. Although this rule is not impossible to break. For example, if you do the Sixth Brother step, your father would rather pass the throne to him, but Sixth Brother was not interested in the throne, so it was Lao Jiu's turn to."

"Brother Eighth brother, don't say this!" Li Yun was shocked when he heard Li Zhen's words so bluntly. Although everyone knew these things, it was enough to understand them in his heart. He must not be able to speak out, especially for the identities of the two of them, such things cannot be discussed.

However, Li Zhen waved his hand indifferently and said, "Brother Seven, you are timid. Now that Lao Jiu has already taken the position of crown prince, what can we say? Besides, we, the princes who are born in ill are no longer available. Besides, with the example of Sixth Brother, I am not interested in the throne!"

After hearing this, Li Yun smiled bitterly. He knew that his eighth brother had always been brave and had no scruples in speaking. However, Li Zhen did have this capital. Not to mention anything else, the Yan family alone was amazing. Especially Yan Bei was also the confidant of the sixth brother Li Yan. With the help of his sixth brother, Yan family has now become one of the largest industrial and commercial owners in the Tang Dynasty. More than 100,000 people rely on the Yan family to get full, and most people dare not offend him at all, so Li Zhen has the confidence.

After saying the above, Li Zhen suddenly looked around and lowered his voice: "Brother Seven, our brothers must have no chance of being with the throne, but as real men, we can't be so mediocre. Now the sixth brother has pointed us in a clear way, but I feel that it's a bit lonely, so it's better for our brothers to join forces and make a career overseas!"

When Li Zhen said this, two shiny lights appeared in his eyes. Since he went to Taiwan with Li Yan last time, Li Zhen suddenly realized that overseas was not a wild place. On the contrary, some places were richer than the Central Plains. However, in these extremely rich places, they were occupied by those extremely lazy natives. Moreover, these natives had extremely low combat power. As long as they overcome the harsh local environment, they would be confident that they would sweep away the natives with an army.

After hearing Li Zhen's words, the chopsticks in Li Yun fell off suddenly, and he was even more stunned. Although he knew that Li Zhen was very brave, he never expected that Li Zhen would actually take the Sixth Brother as an example and embark on the road of pioneering the outside world. And now he also wants to pull himself on.

Seeing that his timid seventh brother was shocked by him, Li Zhen patted Li Yun on the shoulder through the table and said with a smile: "Brother Seventh brother, I know you have always been cautious. And you don't have any ambitions. However, we are from the royal family, so we should naturally have the royal demeanor, so I won't say it. It's his luck to be able to take over the position of the father. As for the sixth brother, we dare not compare. We can't compare it, but the sixth brother has pointed us at a clear path, that is, to use our own strength to expand our territory. If we don't say anything else, then we will occupy a piece of land overseas and be a free and easy overseas prince. Isn't it much better than staying in the Tang Dynasty to see people's faces?"

Li Yun was shocked when he heard this. Li Zhen's last few words did touch him. Most people might think that these princes were rich and frugal, and they seemed to be very glorious when they went out. However, they knew that when Li Shimin was there, they could live a good life, but if Li Zhi ascended the throne in the future, their lives would be difficult, and even if they were a little careless, they might cause death.

In fact, Li Zhen, Li Yun and Li Zhi have a good relationship. Even if Li Zhi takes the position of crown prince, he often plays with them and does not estrange himself from them. This shows that Li Zhi is also a person who values ​​friendship. But now, when Li Zhi takes the throne, family affection will definitely become fragile in front of the throne.

With Li Yun's cleverness and Li Zhen's words, he could understand the above principles. In addition, he also knew that his mother was humble and had no one in the matriarchal region. Li Zhen was much stronger than him. The Yan family behind him was a considerable force. In the future, even if Li Zhi wanted to touch Li Zhen, he would consider it. But he was helpless. To put it bluntly, he would not even have the power to protect himself at that time, and he would knead him as much as others wanted.

Thinking of this, Li Yun's face became a little ugly, and he was also a little moved by Li Zhen's proposal. He also knew very well about Li Yan's overseas in recent years, and he also knew that the natives were still in the period of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Not to mention the army of the Tang Dynasty, even the surrounding vassal states were stronger than those natives. If he and Li Zhen could really have an army, it would not be difficult to conquer a piece of territory overseas.

However, Li Yun is older after all, and he is considerate. He suddenly frowned and said, "Eighth brother, Sixth Brother is not that good. Don't look at the fact that Sixth Brother has destroyed several countries outside and has built such a large territory. However, Sixth Brother has accumulated a lot of financial and material resources before, and later received strong support from his father. He can draw a large amount of manpower from our Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of these that Sixth Brother has achieved such great achievements. But now we have no one and no money to ask for, so even if we are determined to learn from Sixth Brother, we probably don't have that power!"

Li Zhen was also stunned after hearing this. He didn't think so much. He always felt that as long as he had an army, nothing else would be wrong. But now if you think about it carefully, it's not enough to have an army alone. After all, the soldiers in the army are also humans. They also need logistics supplies, and they have to replace the weapons if they are broken.

However, Li Zhen quickly thought of a solution and smiled and said, "Brother Seven, I think I agree with what I said just now. As for the messy things such as financial and material resources, we won't consider these for the time being. I only know that the sixth brother said that the outside world is the most respected by the strong. The most important thing for us now is that our brothers and sisters must have an army that obeys us. As for other things, I believe sixth brother will definitely help us."

When Li Yun heard Li Zhen say this, he was amused and crying. Although he believed in the character of the sixth brother Li Yan, no one knew how much Liu Brother could help them in such a big matter? However, since Li Zhen said this, he couldn't argue anymore, so he had to discuss with Li Zhen how to organize his own army?

In fact, the army is not very difficult for Li Zhen and Li Yun. First of all, they all have their own royal guards. Although the number of guards is only 1,000, as long as they do not rebel, the army of these thousand people will completely obey their commands. With this thousand people as the foundation, they will buy a group of strong slaves and train them again, which will be a very good army.

But there is a problem first, that is, their army must not be in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise they will definitely be reported by someone saying that they are good at raising private soldiers and intend to rebel. Therefore, if Li Zhen and Li Yun want to form an army, they must not be placed in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the army also needs generals at all levels, which is a relatively easy problem for Li Zhen and Li Yun, because they were studying in the military academy and had many classmates and friends. Although these people can serve as middle and low-level officers in the army after graduation, if they make great profits, they may not be able to be brought into their own army.

I'm afraid Li Shimin never expected that the military academy he set up under Li Yan's opinion would become a place where his sons dug up their own corners. Speaking of which, most of the students in the military academy came from the army, and a considerable number of them came from the people. They were influenced by the outside world and had heard a lot about Li Yan's overseas, so they also had a little desire in their hearts. It was precisely because of this that when Li Zhen and Li Yun recruited these people, they were very relaxed. Soon they summoned a group of people to join them, and these people would be the basis for their formation of the army.

Just when Li Yun and Li Zhen brothers began to form their own army with great ambitions, Li Zhi, who had already established the position of crown prince in the Lizheng Hall of Tai Chi Palace, faced a choice.

"Mother, my son is now focused on his studies, and he also has to learn government affairs from his father and ministers. I really don't want to be distracted, so can I slow down the matter of establishing a crown princess for a while?" Li Zhi bowed his body and said with a cautious look on his face. In front of him, Empress Changsun sat upright, but she was a little unhappy on her face.

"Zhi Nu, you are already sixteen years old, and you are the current crown prince. It's time to find a crown prince's concubine!" Empress Changsun said again with a calm face. In order to persuade her son to get married, Empress Changsun has been rude, but she didn't know why, but Li Zhi just disagreed, which made Empress Changsun a little annoyed.

Li Zhi was shocked when he saw his mother unhappy. After hesitating for a while, he insisted: "Mother, my son really doesn't want to get married. The father also advocates that women get married after the age of eighteen. I am only sixteen and I don't want to marry a woman two years older than me, so I'd better wait for another two years!"

"Hmph, okay, you don't want to, right? Then let your father tell you personally!" Empress Changsun was really angry. After saying that, she turned her face and ignored her son. This made Li Zhi helpless, so she had to come forward and please him repeatedly. Finally, Empress Changsun's face calmed down a little, but she still insisted that Li Shimin suppress Li Zhi to get married.
