"Why is it impossible?" Li Yan asked back when he stared at Li Zhi. His eyes were calm and wise, and there was no feeling of madness at all. Obviously, his idea was carefully considered.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Li Zhi suddenly stood up and walked back and forth several times, with a very complicated look on his face, which seemed to be resisting and anxious, making people unable to see clearly.

Li Yan was extremely calm at this time, looking at Li Zhi walking back and forth in front of him, and then said lightly: "Brother Ninth, is it impossible or unwilling to do it? I have to ask your true intentions!"

As soon as Li Yan said something, Li Zhi immediately stood there as if he was struck by lightning. After a while, he slowly turned his head and looked at Li Yan, and finally sat on the stool with a depressed look on his face.

He said: "Brother Six, you are right. If the four countries merge, then among the five brothers, you are the only one who is qualified to take the throne of this huge empire. So how should we arrange it at that time?

From my heart, I really don’t want to lose my current throne!”

In fact, when Li Zhi heard the idea of ​​Li Yan merged the four countries, he did not think so deeply. He was instinctively feeling a sense of resistance and anxiety. Now after Li Yan's reminder, he suddenly realized that the reason why he was instinctive

The resistance was because he was worried about losing his throne. As the saying goes, a real man should not be powerless for a day, especially a king like Li Zhi who holds the highest power of the empire in his hands, so he naturally cannot give up easily!

Li Yan had long anticipated Li Zhi's reaction, after all, he grew up watching Li Zhi grow up. In addition, he is also an emperor, so he naturally understands Li Zhi's thoughts.

In addition, Li Zhi mentioned that after the merger, only Li Yan could serve as the emperor, and he did not deny it. Even if Li Zhi and the others wanted to fight with him, Li Yan would not let the throne fall into the hands of others. This is not him

The merger of the four empires involves too many problems. Some of them need to rely on the knowledge and experience brought by Li Yan from later generations. Therefore, except for him, neither Li Zhi nor Li Ke, they are.

It is possible to perfectly combine the four empires into one!

Li Yan stood up at this time, then walked to the guardrail of the pavilion and turned his back to Li Zhi, looking at the desolate winter scenery outside. At the same time, he said in a heavy tone: "Ninth brother, I know that the idea of ​​merging the four countries is a bit whimsical.

, but this is the only way to resolve the current dilemma of the four countries. Otherwise, with the development of contradictions and conflicts, the four empires will definitely have a fierce conflict due to the dispute between resources and interests. We may have passed away long ago,

The result of the war will not only cause countless people to be destroyed by war, but even our descendants may be killed by their own hands!"

When Li Yan said the last sentence, Li Zhi couldn't help but shivered. He knew that the Sixth Brother's words were absolutely not alarmist. No matter when, the war was the most cruel, especially the interests that broke out between countries.

The battle will definitely end with one side’s defeat. The outcome of the loser is naturally very miserable. As for the so-called family affection, it will basically not be considered!

"Sixth brother, is there really nothing I can do except merger of the four countries?" Li Zhi asked in a dry voice. He was restricted by his vision before, and he might not be able to see as far as Li Shimin and Li Yan, but he was doing it

After ten years as an emperor, his eyes were longer and he saw some things that he could not see before. In addition, he was a person who values ​​feelings, so he, like Li Yan, wanted to try his best to avoid this.

The occurrence of the situation.

"If there is another way, I won't come to you all the way!" Li Yan said helplessly. In fact, Li Yan proposed the idea of ​​merger of four countries, and also took huge risks. After all, the power confusion was confusing.

People's hearts, if Li Zhi or Li Ke and others are unwilling to give up their power, it is likely that in the end, the brothers will turn against each other and even trigger conflicts between several countries in advance.

Li Zhi's heart was extremely heavy after hearing this. Emotionally, he didn't want to give up his rights in his hands, but he rationally told him that listening to Brother Six now is the real solution to the problem.

"Brother Six, I want to hear your detailed plan for merging the four countries!" Li Zhi was naturally unsure of such a major matter, so now he wants to hear about Li Yan's merger plan.

Li Yan felt that Li Zhi's attitude was loose, so he was shocked and immediately said, "In my plan, after the merger of our four countries, we will implement a system that has never been implemented before, for example,

In terms of the most core inheritance of the throne, it will no longer be the form of father and son!”

"It's not a father-son story. Sixth brother, do you want to abdicate like Yao and Shun?" Li Zhi asked in shock.

"Of course not!" Li Yan smiled, "I plan to select one of our five brothers to become the emperor of the new empire after the merger of the four countries, and the remaining four will form a royal parliament to absorb the ones from our descendants.

Excellent talents enter the parliament and cultivate them. When the emperor dies, the royal parliament will pass a voting election to elect a new emperor from the royal family in the parliament, and the elected emperor's successor cannot be the previous one.

The descendant of the emperor!”

After hearing Li Yan's idea of ​​the royal parliament, Li Zhi was shocked. No matter what, he did not expect that his sixth brother would have such strange thoughts in his mind?

However, Li Zhi obviously had no confidence in the royal parliament. Then he asked with some doubts: "Sixth brother, your royal parliament seems to be a bit unreliable. After all, people are selfish, and the emperor holds military affairs in his hands.

Daquan, what if he wants to pass the throne to his son and ignore the election results of the meeting?"

When Li Yan heard this, he laughed and said, "Young brother, you are asking this question well. I plan to divide the military and political power, among which the military power belongs to the emperor and the royal parliament. If the emperor wants to use military power, he must go through it.

The consent of the Royal Parliament. As for the administrative power, it belongs to the Prime Minister, just like my Daqi, and the Prime Minister's appointment and removal also need to be jointly approved by the emperor and the Royal Parliament. In addition, the judicial system is independent of the administrative system and supervises officials and the royal family.

Illegal acts!”

After hearing this, Li Zhi finally understood what Li Yan meant. In fact, according to Li Yan's idea, after the merger of the four countries, except for the emperor and the royal parliament, there was almost no big difference in other aspects from the current system of the Da Qi or the Tang Dynasty.

However, the highest imperial power is jointly controlled by the emperor and the royal parliament. In this way, the power in the hands of the emperor can be supervised, and at the same time, each generation of emperors can maintain good qualities so as not to appear as stupid as in history.

emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little moved. Although he could not compete with his sixth brother Li Yan now, he was the first emperor after the merger of the four countries, but he still held considerable power in his hands, and more importantly

Yes, if your son is successful and compares the third brother, seventh brother, starling brother and other sons, then your son will be the second emperor after the merger of the four empires. Judging from the territory of the current four empires

, it is not an exaggeration to call him the Lord of the World.

Li Yan has been observing the changes in Li Zhi's expression. Now seeing Li Zhi's heartbeat, he continued: "In addition, the Tang Dynasty is the birthplace of our brothers, so I think after the merger of the four countries, the capital can be set up in Da.

In the Tang Dynasty, however, Chang'an is an inland city, a little far from Daqi and Tianzhu, so I think a city can be selected from the coastal cities of the Tang Dynasty and use it as the capital of the new empire, such as Dengzhou, Shanghai or

Guangzhou is a good choice!”

Hearing that Li Yan took the initiative to set up the capital of the new empire in the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi had no doubts in his heart and finally nodded and said, "Sixth Brother, I understand what you mean. Although I think this idea is too bold,

But I have to admit that if this idea is realized, it will definitely be a good thing for our Li royal family. At least it can make our imperial rule safer, but the merger of the four empires involves more than one issue.

The issue of inheritance of the throne also involves the integration of the army, the construction and reorganization of administrative institutions, etc. These are not so easy to solve. Maybe there may be chaos. Brother Liu, are you sure?"

"Of course I can't do it by myself, but don't I have you brothers? Don't forget that there is one of mine in this world, and one of yours. My wisdom alone is limited, and I will definitely have one of them in some aspects.

What I missed, so I plan to convince you and the third brother and the others, and then the five of us sat down and discussed it carefully. With the wisdom of the five emperors, we will definitely summarize a set of merger methods!" Li Yan smiled after hearing this.

Dao. Now that Li Zhi has convinced him, he is confident that the rest of Li Ke will convince him. In this way, only Li Yun and Li Zhen will be left.

After this heart-to-heart talk, Li Zhi finally agreed to Li Yan's idea of ​​merging the four countries, but how to merge will have to wait until Li Yan convinces Li Ke and Li Yun and Li Zhen to talk about it later. In addition, regarding the empire after the merger

How to manage it also requires them to sit down and have a good chat.

Next, Li Yan stayed in Chang'an, waiting for the arrival of Li Ke and the other three, while discussing with Li Zhi the possible problems and solutions that might be encountered when merging the four empires. Because this fact is too important,

Apart from the two of them, Li Zhi only told Caier about this.

Li Zhi sometimes has poor health over the years, so Caier helps him handle government affairs. It can be said that she is Li Zhi's most trusted assistant. However, after Caier heard from Li Zhi that his cousin Li Yan merged the four countries, he was
