Chapter 390 Do it to the end
Li Junhua knows his younger brother very well. He doesn't swear, but once he gets serious, there will be only two results. First, what he says is true. Second, what he says is false, but he is sure to deceive himself.
"I hope I'm thinking too much. I also hope Zhaocheng understands that even as a child of the royal family, doing things for the empire may not only be the emperor." Li Junhua glanced at King Yu deeply and said what he had wanted to say long ago.
Li Junwei shook his head gently, stood up, poured himself a glass of beer, and handed it to the emperor, saying, "At least, between Zhaoyu and Zhaocheng, the brothers, it may not be as you wish. They are brothers, even closer than us, and twins, but as long as they compete for the throne, the future relationship will be very subtle. These two people must have the awareness to withdraw from the political stage at the right time.
Second brother, our relationship is just an exception."
To be honest, Li Junwei was also negotiated for the throne, but that was mainly because the Supreme Emperor loved this young son too much, which made people feel illusion. Li Junhua knew that his younger brother had never coveted the throne. He lost his son in middle age and experienced pain. He also wanted to retreat. According to the tradition of brothers and brothers, he was still rejected by him.
Li Junwei had political ambitions, and the emperor knew about this, but he did not have the ambition to be an emperor.
"If this is the case, it would be a pity. I really don't want to see that day." Li Junhua said.
Li Junwei said: "This is actually destined after Zhao Ji's death."
Thinking of his dead son, Li Junhua felt ache. He had only one son, but unfortunately died. If Li Zhaoji was alive, or the third generation of the empire would have an emperor, two kings of Yu, and three cobblers, they would always be able to match Zhuge Liang's.
After drinking all the beer in one sip, Li Junhua put down his cup: "Since we are talking about this today, let's discuss the successor. Third brother, in your eyes, how much does Zhaoyu or Zhaocheng have to be qualified to officially become the prince?"
"You are sure that Zhao Ming will not wait for a while. I think he is the smartest among all the children." Li Junwei asked with a wry smile.
"I won't wait. If I wait for him to grow up, I will be the emperor for at least fifteen years, or even twenty years or even longer." Li Junhua said.
Since Li Zhaoji passed away, the emperor has the intention to retreat. In addition to his sense of responsibility for this country, there are some illusory things that stop him. For example, the empire cannot have two emperors. If he abdicates, he will become the emperor. Then what about his father Li Mingxun? Should he be called the emperor?
Li Junhua shook his finger again and said, "If Zhao Ming is really the smartest one, then he should also become King Yu, not the emperor. Among us brothers, you are the smartest one. You are not the emperor, are you?"
"Yes, if Zhao Ming is smart enough and open-minded enough, then he will inherit everything I have." Li Junwei said.
Li Junhua pushed the empty wine glass to Li Junwei: "Then the third brother, please answer my question. Zhao Yu and the other two brothers, what step should they do?"
Li Junwei poured half a glass of wine for his brother, but shook his head: "Actually, I don't have a standard answer in my heart. I can't even figure out what these two children have shown so far, is that they are not capable enough or the stage they are not wide enough."
"What do you think?" Li Junhua asked.
Li Junwei said: "I never thought about it, because I think it is your decision to choose who to be the prince. It has nothing to do with me. If my second brother is really tired and tired, I will choose now, and I will no longer be an exception. You can not abdicate, but give Zhaoyu the status of the state or other methods."
"Zhao Yu, how do you make sure it is Zhao Yu, not Zhao Cheng?"
Li Junwei smiled: "Actually, I know that my second brother still prefers Zhaoyu, which is what I have always felt. From me, I like Zhaocheng more, but I think Zhaocheng should be inferior to Zhaoyu in being an emperor."
Li Junhua nodded: "Actually, I want to say that it is enough for me to be the emperor for forty years."
"I thought you wanted to break the record of imperial history." Li Junwei said half-jokingly.
There was no Qing Dynasty in this era, so there were no two super long guys who had been hanging up. However, the record of reigning time in history was still much higher. Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che led the way with fifty-four years. Of course, this was not considered the Bohai Kingdom, and the Xixia Kingdom, which were not orthodox regimes in the Central Plains.
If Li Junhua only became the emperor for forty years, he would not even be in the top ten. Even the Ming Dynasty had two emperors who had been a longer time than him.
Li Junhua said: "I don't have that much patience. I want to live for myself for a few years in my life, and I don't want to spend all my life on the political stage."
"I support you, second brother. You should be the best emperor in the history of our country." Li Junwei raised his wine glass.
"The father is the best."
"No, he is not among the emperor, he belongs to... a cheater." Li Junwei drank it all and said something Li Junhua didn't understand.
Li Junhua shook his head helplessly, instead of asking about the secret, he said: "I abdicated earlier, be good to myself, be good to the empire, and be good to their brothers."
Li Junhua may have become tired in his heart. Leaving politics can make him live more freely. The reason for his goodness to the empire is that he can give young people more opportunities. After all, he is old. Even if he succeeds as an emperor, there will always be a day when he leaves, and young people can continue their glory.
As for the two brothers Li Zhaocheng and Li Zhaoyu, it is actually beneficial for Li Junhua to abdicate early. The one who succeeded in the throne can establish a stable position with the protection and help of Li Junhua, while the one who failed can also show his revenge on the political stage because of Li Junhua's relationship. As long as Li Junhua is still alive for one day, both of them will have a chance to achieve their ambitions.
Yizhou City, South America.
This land in South America is administratively affiliated to the South American Bureau of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, but the two major cities, Yizhou and Nangang, are under the jurisdiction of South Africa. Therefore, the local chief executive is dispatched by the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, but the administrative team is under the responsibility of Cape Town.
The chief of South America is acquaintance of Li Zhaocheng, who was born in Prince Fong Yu. He helped Li Zhaoyu handle the Shiwan case in Panama, but has now been promoted.
"The Japanese have already sought peace, and they hope to truce." Equation said to Li Zhaocheng in front of Equation: "The Japanese are preparing to retreat into the colony of Portugal and will not enter the sphere of influence of the empire from now on. What we want is just to release the prisoners."
Li Zhaocheng shook his head: "I am not going to agree with their request. In fact, I don't want the Japanese to establish an independent force on any piece of land except Japan."
"But this war will continue." Fang Cheng said, he was already a local commander, and he hoped that the local government could enter a state of peace as soon as possible.
Li Zhaocheng said: "Even if I agree, it's useless. I have no prisoners for them."
"Aren't the prisoners all controlled in the military camps in Nangang?" Equation is puzzled.
Li Zhaocheng smiled and said, "Half a month ago, while the Atlantic Fleet changed defense, more than 270 Japanese captured were sent to Jamaica. At this time, it should be almost the Caribbean."
"The Japanese might be crazy," said Equation.
In order to deal with the clearing from Yizhou, the Japanese established three residence sites. Li Zhaocheng did only successfully attack one of them, but there were many elderly, weak, women and children in this residence site. The men of these families were still fighting in the inland areas. The elderly, weak, women and children were sent to the Caribbean, which means that the war would not be resolved easily.
Li Zhaocheng said: "My will will not change, but you can suggest that the Japanese have a truce with us for three months or half a year. I need the Japanese to understand that sending their families to Jamaica is not exile, nor is it to sell them as slaves, but it is just a special way of immigration, but I need time to prove my benevolence and righteousness.
Half a year should be enough to let the group of Japanese survive in Jamaica for a while, and then select a few representatives to go back to South America and tell the Japanese about their real living environment after they arrived in Jamaica. I think the Japanese would be willing to go."
Seeing that Li Zhaocheng was so persistent, Fang Cheng had no other choice. He said, "Okay, but the second young master, please agree to me and let my men negotiate. Don't hand over negotiations to Sun's army, Dongfang Cheng and the others."
"Why?" Li Zhaocheng asked.
Equation says: "No matter what you do, you can't always use a kind of person. The prince often says that professional things are handed over to professional people, and you do this, but the problem is that they can't hand them all over to professional people. For example, in this war in South America, you can't just use soldiers, because soldiers can only show their value in war, so they will inevitably expand and continue the war, and you need to control them.
If you really want to end the war, you should leave the end of the war to those who are willing to end the war, not a group of soldiers.”
Li Zhaocheng nodded, thought for a moment and said, "You are right. This is my mistake. Next, you will negotiate with the Japanese."
Fang Cheng let out a long sigh and thought to himself that Li Zhaocheng is still easy to talk to. Since Li Zhaocheng arrived in the local area, he has been very nervous. Although he was born in Prince Yu's Mansion and had grown up with Li Zhaocheng when he was a teenager, he was in love, but for him, there was one thing that he could not get rid of anyway, that is, he played an important role in the Shiwan case in Panama.
Now that the two legitimate sons of Prince Yu's mansion have been almost publicly vying for the throne, Fang Cheng is worried that Li Zhaocheng will determine that he is from the eldest son because of the Shimao case, but in fact he is not at all. Since the Shimao case, he has not had any private contact with Li Zhaoyu.
"Then I'm going to work hard, the second young master." Fang Cheng left, but was stopped by Li Zhaocheng. Li Zhaocheng said: "Wait a minute, Lord Fang, we have other things to discuss."
"Please show me."
Li Zhaocheng said: "The emperor's telegram has arrived about the cooperation between the Empire and Thailand tobacco. I'm very sorry for the emperor."
Fong Cheng took two steps back in fear and quickly explained: "Second Young Master, you must believe me. I did not report this to Shen Jing. This report was definitely not something I called."
"Of course I know that if it were you, you would report through the Security Bureau system, rather than by the people from the cabinet." Li Zhaocheng knew that Fang Cheng himself was a member of the Security Bureau, so he said, and he smiled, reached out and patted Fang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Who made my report is no longer important. The important thing is to solve this problem. Since the emperor personally gave the order, I can no longer hide, and I, as a person, either don't do it. Since I have done it, I must do the best."
Fang Cheng nodded, sat on the chair, and said, "Actually, it's just a share matter. I don't think it's necessary to be so entangled. Shen Jing has already promised 50%, which is enough, but the local representatives of the parliamentarians are already trying to get more. If the second young master applies for them more, wouldn't it be......Isn't it arrogance? In the future, it will be difficult for Weichen to do in Shen Jing in South America and Weichen."
Li Zhaocheng waved his hand: "Of course I won't give those people the opportunity to be arrogant. I just do my best to put it bluntly, I came from a royal family and it is my responsibility to have a strong empire. As a remote area of the empire, South America requires us to take more care of it."
When Fang Cheng heard this, he was moved: "Yes, thank you for your concern for the second young master."
Speaking of which, the empire's overseas territory is the least popular and the real stepmother in South America. The rest of the territory is either based on overseas provinces or major transportation routes like Panama. The only similar one is North America, but they are the fief of Prince Yu's mansion and the top of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs. Only South America is located at the end of the world and has no support.
Nominally, it relies on the four provinces of South Africa, but in fact, in South Africa, the status of South America is not even as good as that of the Brazilian colonies in Portugal.
"I won't say much of these beautiful words. You can arrange it immediately and join hands with local tobacco farmers to select high-quality tobacco, organize a representative to prepare to go to Europe." Li Zhaocheng said.
"Europe...Europe?" equation is puzzled.
Li Zhaocheng nodded: "Yes, it's Europe. The prince of Prussia, William, is my childhood and a classmate. There is almost no tobacco cultivation industry in China. I believe I am willing to have a stable industrial zone for providing high-quality tobacco overseas to help it realize tobacco monopoly. The King of Sweden also has some old friendship with me, and I can also talk to South America there.
