Looking at his handsome and elegant nephew, the love on Li Shimin's face is hard to hide.

As a great emperor of a generation, what Li Shimin is most worried about is that there is no successor! The "people" here refers to both the heir of the emperor and the future white jade pillar of the sky.

Judging from the current situation, Li Chengqian is a very good prince, but among the many officials, there is not a new star that makes his eyes shine.

Chai Lingwu's current performance has made him look forward to it.

Li Shimin said: "In the past, I had powerful generals, tiger generals, famous generals, and more than a hundred famous generals, such as Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Chai Shao, Changsun Shunde, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, Yin Kaishan, all of them were unique heroes. But after counting it carefully, I found that the generals who could fight were less than half as before. Your father Chai Shao is young, but this year is forty-three. He has only been able to carry a halberd and ride a horse for a few years."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of heaven and earth, and no one can escape it. I understand this."

"What makes me uneasy is that no one of the royal children is skilled in archery and horses, and more than 60% of the descendants of the generals abandoned martial arts and followed the literature. Therefore, I am very worried that after the older generation of famous generals, the glorious Tang Dynasty will face the dilemma of no generals available."

Chai Lingwu could feel Li Shimin's concerns about the withering of famous generals and also understood his feelings.

What Li Shimin said is actually a problem that exists in every dynasty and every generation, and the decline of dynasties often occurs because of this.

When the world is in turmoil, all forces need brave and good at fighting to conquer the world for them. In this situation, famous generals are priceless treasures. Therefore, there is an old saying that it is easy to obtain thousands of troops but difficult to find one general.

But after peace in the world, what the country needs is a genius like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng.

Instead of powerful generals like Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Luo Shixin.

A warrior with strong abilities can go to the general and the prime minister, and Mu guards the side. Among them, Li Jing, Li Ji, Chai Shao, Zhang Liang and others are typical representatives.

But more powerful generals do not have the ability to govern the local area, so they can only do nothing and stay at home, and even famous generals have no war to fight, and they can live and die at home. Then, their future generations will naturally abandon martial arts and follow the literature. In this way, no one can blame them.

Imagine that after a famous general chooses to follow the literature and politics, fewer and fewer ordinary people are willing to learn martial arts. In the long run, there will be no general in the country.

When the Central Plains dynasty was focusing on culture and over military forces, and fighting for power and power, the surrounding foreign races became stronger and stronger due to the survival rules of the strong, and eventually they would evolve into a situation where the enemy was prosperous and we were declining, and foreign invaders were invading.

This is a fate that no dynasty can avoid in Chinese feudal society.

The Tang Dynasty in history was also due to the rare exceptional generals. During the reign of Li Zhi, there was a strong enemy who challenged the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin was the most powerful in the Tang Dynasty, he had already thought of the future with a far-sighted vision, and he was worthy of being a wise ruler of the generation.

"Boy, are you listening to me?" Li Shimin saw Chai Lingwu's soul flying out of the sky and his soul was absent-minded, and his face was speechless.

"I'm listening!" Chai Lingwu took back his thoughts and coughed, "I admire my uncle for danger in peace and security."

"Don't talk about this useless thing with me." Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile and said, "You said the day before yesterday that you have the ambition to join the army, and today you said you have become smart. Then I will test you with this question to see if you are capable of solving this problem."

After a while, Chai Lingwu whispered: "I have four strategies to help my uncle solve this problem."

"ah?"

When Chai Lingwu shouted, Li Shimin was stunned.

This problem has troubled him for many years. Even if he gathered famous officials and generals such as Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji, etc., he could not find a good solution to governance. Today, everyone discussed it again, but it was still incomplete.

In order to test Chai Lingwu's talent and potential, he asked casually. In fact, he did not have much hope.

Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking, Chai Lingwu immediately thought of a solution, and even said the "Four Strategies".

"What four strategies? Come quickly." Li Shimin was interested in question.

"The first strategy is to go from top to bottom. My uncle wants everyone to know that you not only value civil and political governance, but also never give up martial arts, so as to inspire the martial spirit in the court."

"And the prescription I prescribed for my uncle was to establish a Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, the way was to enshrine the statues of founding heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion."

The Lingyan Pavilion in history was established in the 17th year of Zhenguan. It was established by Li Shimin to commemorate the heroes who conquered the world with him, and to show honor.

However, now Chai Lingwu shamelessly plagiarized over.

The portrait was also designed by him as a statue.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but breathe. For him, this was an excellent way to buy people. For those founding heroes, being able to accept worship from future generations in Lingyan Pavilion for thousands of years was simply a great honor.

"On the first thing to express the friendship between my uncle and all the founding heroes; on the other hand, it can inspire future generations to make achievements for our Tang Dynasty. As long as we make achievements for the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will never forget his contributions."

"The 28 Generals of Yuntai in Han Guangwu responded to the twenty-eight constellations, so let's come to his Lingyan Pavilion, the 36 Tiangang."

Finally, Chai Lingwu said with a digging look: "As for the seventy-two Earthly Evils, they are waiting for the empty position. The primary condition for ascending to Earthly Evils is to expand territory."

"What a Lingyan Pavilion, what a thirty-six Heavenly Gang, what a 72 Earth Demons!" Li Shimin slapped the table, and his eyes were full of spirits.

The Tang Dynasty was originally a dynasty that focused on military merits and was eager to expand its territory. Once this Lingyan Pavilion had it, it could not only win over the hearts of heroes and inspire future generations to make achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

"With the precedent of thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, then the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will work hard for the seventy-two Earthly Demons who are waiting for their empty position."

"In this way, those famous generals and generals who do nothing can be prepared and beg for war. In this way, those grassroots soldiers must not work hard to improve their military qualities one by one, and they are happy when they hear the war. In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot encourage their husbands, brothers, and nephews to join the army one by one?"

"And our Tang Dynasty has a million troops and tens of millions of people. If there are hundreds of military geniuses in each generation, the dilemma of no generals will disappear."

As Li Shimin spoke, he was also dancing and excited about this beautiful future!

"I plan to set up Lingyan Pavilion in the palace. What do you think?"

After being excited for a long time, Li Shimin asked!

"No! It's too petty in the palace." Chai Lingwu disagreed.

"Isn't the palace the best place?" Although Li Shimin was puzzled, he still looked happy.

Chai Lingwu said: "There are only a few people who can enter the palace. If Lingyan Pavilion is placed in the palace, the purpose of declaring the world cannot be achieved. If it is not known to everyone in the world, Lingyan Pavilion will lose its meaning and value. If the people in the world cannot see the real Lingyan Pavilion, they will always be skeptical."

"So Lingyan Pavilion should not only be set up outside the palace, but also open the door and allow the people of the world to visit and worship. In this way, the purpose of being accused of spreading and publicizing is achieved. Only in real things can the world be motivated to become ambitions and encouraging people to join the army."

"I'm not thinking well... As the saying goes, 'Wine is fragrant and you're afraid of the deep alley'! If Lingyan Pavilion is high in the palace, it really does not achieve the intention of inspiring the world."

Li Shimin asked with a good attitude: "Then what do you think is the right place?"

"Qin Prince's Mansion." Chai Lingwu said something that made Li Shimin stunned. He explained: "There are three major benefits to changing the Qin Prince's Mansion to Lingyan Pavilion."

"One is the time. The Qin Palace is the place where my uncle takes off, and it is also the beginning of the founding heroes who have reached the top. It has been changed to Lingyan Pavilion, and it is also commemorative."

"The second is the geographical advantage. The Qin Palace covers a vast area, not far from the imperial palace, and is located in the center of Chang'an, so it is very convenient for people from all over the world to pay homage to it."

"The third is people. If you re-select the address, you will definitely use the national treasury. If your uncle donates the Qin Palace, it will better reflect your compassion for the people."

In fact, there is a fourth advantage, but Chai Lingwu dare not say it.

Sooner or later, Li Shimin will gift the Qin Prince's Mansion to a certain prince, but because it is a special existence, once it is given out, it is likely to be interpreted as Li Shimin's preparation to make the prince the crown prince, which will cause unnecessary turmoil.

Now, it is beneficial to the country and the royal family to deal with the Qin Palace early.

"It makes sense. I will ask the Ministry of Works to re-plan tomorrow and strive to establish Lingyan Pavilion as soon as possible."
