Chapter 891 Election Law
…
Although Li Cun’s ideas are ridiculous, they cannot be said to be without any reason.
First of all, with Li Yan's strong fertility, asking Li Yan for help will definitely solve this problem, and it will be possible to solve it once and for all. As long as Li Yan is willing, Li Yan will definitely help Li Cunsheng enough the son he wants.
Secondly, it is absolutely safe to ask Li Yan for help, and there will be no future troubles. First, for the stability of the country he has built himself, Li Yan will never tell anyone about this. Second, Li Yan has too many women, so he will never covet Li Cun's women. This is a one-time deal. Third, Li Yan has many sons, and he will never be short of these. Therefore, in the future, he will never compete with Li Cun for his son because of regret, and he will never suffer endless troubles.
Again, doing this can ensure that the country will eventually fall into the hands of Li Yan's descendants. Therefore, Li Yan will not only not interfere, but will also help Li Cun to support "Li Cun's son" as the crown prince.
Secondly, doing this can also ensure that the water does not flow to outsiders’ fields, right?
but--
Although Li Cun’s idea makes sense, Li Yan cannot do this no matter what.
First of all, Li Yan already has tens of thousands of beauties, from all over the country, all kinds of things, and if Li Yan wants, he has everything and as many as he wants, he really doesn't need to touch his son's women.
Secondly, Li Yan didn't want his reputation to be ruined in this matter - Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Li Yuanhao were always despised because of forcing his daughter-in-law to occupy his daughter-in-law. He even died so cowardly. Li Yan didn't want to be with Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Li Yuanhao.
Again, Li Cun came up with this last resort at the end of his life. Who can guarantee that Li Cun will not regret it in the future? If Li Cun regrets it in the future, there will definitely be a barrier between them, and perhaps father and son will fall in love with each other, causing a disaster.
Secondly, fake ones are fake ones, and it is not certain when they will be exposed. By then, this will be the biggest scandal of the royal family, and Li Yan would not have expected the impact to a great extent.
Finally, and most importantly, Li Yan actually has a way to solve this problem.
However, Li Yan's method has hurt Li Cun's interests a little, so Li Yan has never taken the initiative to speak out.
Now that Li Cun has come up with such a desperate way to jump over the wall, Li Yan feels it is time to express his thoughts.
After Li Cun stood outside nervously for more than an hour, Li Yan called Li Cun in again.
As soon as he came in, Li Cun knelt honestly on the ground and said, "I would like to ask my father to understand my son's difficulties. My son's actions are not for the son himself, but for the country you have finally built up."
Li Yan stared at Li Cun for a long time before saying, "Don't talk about this anymore. Although I am a woman, I still have this bottom line."
Li Cun was a little unwilling and said, "Don't have any burden on my father. My son is willing. Moreover, my son promised that no one would know about this matter, including those concubines of my son, I would like to ask my father..."
Li Yan interrupted Li Cun and said, "I have already said it, don't talk about it again in the future."
Seeing that Li Yan was so decisive, Li Cun opened his mouth and then closed his mouth again.
Worried that Li Cun would ask someone else to help him, Li Yan warned Li Cun: "You are not allowed to have this idea again in the future. Do you know that once this matter is leaked, you will not only not be able to be the throne of the Great Middle School, but will also be ridiculed."
Li Cunxin said: "If I hadn't been worried about these things, I would have looked for someone else long ago."
Though I thought so, Li Cun responded: "No."
Seeing that Li Cun was not in high spirits, Li Yan said: "I just thought of a way to establish a crown prince. I want to discuss it with you."
Li Cun's eyes lit up and said, "I'd like to ask my father to make it clear."
Li Yan organized the following language and said: "We have a vast territory. If we even include Central Asia and Europe, this territory is several times that of the Han and Tang dynasties. Do you think that such a vast territory can be managed by one or two people?"
Li Cun thought about it, and then replied truthfully: "It's very difficult, especially the places west of the Western Regions, where it's too late."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Then if your brothers and your brothers' sons help you manage it together, can you manage it?"
In fact, Dazhong now manages this huge country. Putting aside the sons who were named king by Li Yan, there are Li Yan's children and grandchildren in every region. They are all helping to manage Dazhong and maintain the unity of Dazhong.
Of course, it is undeniable that some of them are already borers from the middle and middle schools.
but--
Because Li Yan is strict with his children and grandchildren and has always been appointing materials, it seems that their benefits are far greater than disadvantages for Dazhong.
Li Cun cannot say against his will that Li Yan's children and grandchildren have no contribution to the Li family's rule, especially in front of Li Yan.
Therefore, Li Cun said: "They are indeed very beneficial to Dazhong's rule in the reign of the father."
When Li Cun heard Li Cun's words, how could Li Yan not know? Li Cun meant: When others inherit Li Yan's throne in the future, Li Yan's children and grandchildren may become internal troubles in Dazhong.
Li Cun’s worries are not without reason.
Many of Li Yan's children and grandchildren have real power, and some even have certain military power, which is indeed an unstable factor.
This has indeed become a problem that Dazhong must solve, even though Li Yan has enfeoffed many of his sons.
Li Yan said: "What if I give them the right to run for election?"
"This...what is the right to run, and what is the right to vote?"
Li Cun was a little confused about what the two new nouns proposed by Li Yan meant?
Li Yan patiently explained to Li Cun: "Actually, I want all my descendants to have the opportunity to be crown princess and emperors. If you can't be the leader, you can also choose the crown prince and then choose the emperor..."
To put it bluntly, Li Yan is planning to make his descendants form a party equivalent to the ruling party in China in later generations, and then implement an intra-party electoral system.
In other words, candidates for crown prince must be selected within the royal family, elected by all adult men of the royal family, and then the crown prince will be selected from the crown prince candidates. When the term changes, the crown prince will ascend the throne to the throne.
The specific operation is that adult royal men first select nine people who meet the standards of the crown prince from the royal family members who have good experience in the past to run for the election. Then these nine people go to various counties and vassal states one by one, using the rule of "the winner is all the winner" (adult men have votes, but vassal states are generally decided by the king. In the election of vassal states, most of them are in a form). Whoever gets the votes of each county or vassal state will eventually be the crown prince when the term of the change of the term will be the crown prince. During the period of serving as vassal states, the crown prince will not make big mistakes, and then the term of the term is changed, or when the emperor has an accident, he will serve as the emperor.
In other words, Li Yan combined the election laws of China and the United States in later generations and created a new election law.
As for how to implement it, someone helped Li Yan slowly improve it.
To put it more important, Li Yan forced the rule that five years are each term, and an emperor can be re-elected at most one term, that is, he will be an emperor for ten years. Once five years arrive, if more than half of the adult men in the royal family think that the emperor is incompetent, then the emperor cannot be re-elected and must be re-elected.
After understanding Li Yan's meaning, Li Cun remained silent - although Li Cun had no son and was not in good health, Li Yan's "sudden whim" election law still made Li Cun a little unacceptable.
