When Lin Junhong saw Brother Wang Li Hai at the gate of the palace, he was really surprised and asked, "Brother, why are you here too?"

"It was said that the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor announced that I entered the palace." Li Hai was also confused. He was watching the flower boat with his family on the Huangpu River.

"Is there something big, right?" Lin Junhong asked in surprise.

Li Hai was also a little confused. He had been retiring for many years. Over the years, he had just accompanied the Supreme Emperor to travel around and avoided his affairs. Even if he came out, he would go to sacrifice on behalf of the royal family. As Li Zhaocheng and Li Zhaoyu grew up, there were fewer such things.

"Let's stop guessing, let's go in and take a look first." Li Hai was selfless and had no worries in his heart. He was not afraid of ghosts calling, so he said directly.

The two entered the inner palace and conducted a cross-examination as usual. This kind of thing was meaningless to these two princes who came into the palace and followed their own house, so they just said hello. But this time, the attendant stopped the two, but the person who inspected the two was a female official. A female official said beside Lin Junhong: "Prince, the queen asked us to tell you that the Supreme Emperor has lost his temper, and even Prince Yu can't persuade him."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I said I would adopt the young master of the Yu Wang family to the emperor." said the female official.

Lin Junhong nodded slightly and said to the female official: "I understand, don't say this to outsiders anymore. Since the queen sent you to tell me, it means that you are strict with your mouth, and this time you must be more strict with yourself."

The female official nodded, and the two entered the inner palace. The attendant led to the terrace. The two slowed down. Lin Junhong thought for a while and said, "Why did the old man suddenly have this idea?"

"Are you confused? No, at the opening ceremony today, you were clear in words and very good in spirit. Is there something inside that you and I don't know?" Li Hai returned.

Lin Junhong shook his head, and Li Hai asked again: "What's wrong with the royal family recently? "

"That is, India says people come, but they can't." Lin Junhong said.

"Why not come?"

"I don't know this. The third brother is responsible for foreign affairs. If he doesn't say it, how can we know that it is related to the King of England. Brother, too. Since the eldest brother passed away, the old man has always felt guilty." Lin Junhong said.

Li Hai also knew a little about this. Li Mingxun’s guilt actually comes from some of his wrong judgments about the development of the times.

For example, when Li Junhua was only seventeen years old, he was rumored to be in him. In fact, a large part of the reason was that Li Mingxun believed that imperial power was difficult to maintain continuously. The empire might develop into a constitutional monarchy like Britain, and the emperor was completely a false king.

Of course, this did not happen. Li Junhua was in charge of the empire for 34 years and still had stable power and clear government orders. Although the bourgeois power represented by the House of Commons has developed rapidly and its position in the political arena has become higher and higher, he has never really touched the dominance.

Another mistake in Li Mingxun's situation was that he did not expect that the empire would expand to this point in just 20 years, with half of the Eurasian continent, the subtropical, temperate and cold zones of the Americas, Greater South Africa and the entire Australia, and successfully opened the Suez Canal and mastered the Panama region.

What created these were mainly the foresight and genius of King Yu, Li Junwei, and the intimacy between the emperor and King Yu.

In Li Mingxun's expectations, he could see that the empire dominated the South and Central Asia regions and developed on the west coast of America. He never thought that the empire could have Xijin and the east coast of America, and directly achieve a strategic defense situation for Europe.

Under this conservative foresight, Li Mingxun believes that in his son's generation, the large population and powerful subcontinent and North America on the other end of the earth are both marginal areas of the empire's sphere of influence. Therefore, when he presided over the separation of the eldest son and the second son, he gave the eldest son subcontinent and North America two choices.

At that time, he thought his eldest son would choose North America, because in that case, the internal struggle between his sons would no longer exist. After all, what can he fight be like across the Pacific Ocean?

Even if you choose the subcontinent, it only means that the eldest son has the ambition to get involved in the imperial throne, but he believes that a generation cannot do this.

However, Li Mingxun did not expect that the empire's power would expand so quickly. With the development of the Nanyang region and the expansion of the Central Asian region, the empire could directly affect the development of the subcontinent from both inland and oceans. There was also a technical generation gap between the subcontinent and the empire. The direct result was that King Cheng Lin Junhong led the navy and marines to join forces with Portugal and several colonial companies and local indigenous people under the city of Goa, and could fight back and forth with the strongest feudal powers on the subcontinent.

However, his eldest son took the opportunity to enter the subcontinent from Central Asia and established the Hindustan Empire.

When Li Mingxun asked his eldest son to make a choice in the subcontinent and America, he felt guilty because he was originally late to marrying, and his eldest son was an accident. When he was young, Li Mingxun was away for many years and reunited with him for a long time. The discord between his parents affected the eldest son's character. More importantly, the stage of the eldest son's growth was the stage of confrontation between the empire and the Qing Dynasty and the West. Therefore, Li Mingxun's education on his eldest son was to attack rather than govern the world.

This is mainly due to Li Mingxun's conservative personality. For example, when he had just obtained the power to control the sea in the South China Sea, he sent his most trusted student Ma Dong to explore Australia, which was to wait to face the sea and land attacks between the Netherlands and the Qing Dynasty, and there was a way out to retreat.

During the unmarried period, his adopted son Li Hai was the legal heir of Li Mingxun. This is clear, because Li Mingxun knew that the medical technology and harsh environment in the 17th century would make him fall on the road of conquest at any time.

After having a son, the heir turned to the eldest son. Given the bad situation at that time, Li Mingxun certainly hoped that after he fell, his son could hold up the banner and complete his unsuccessful career.

But the problem is that Li Mingxun did not fall, and when his eldest son was fourteen years old, he went south with the Navy and fought with the European Union Fleet in the Indian Ocean with the Imperial Navy. You should know that it was on the sea. As long as the battle line was on the wooden battleship, there was no real safe place.

The eldest son Jun led the battleships and led the enemy's troops to establish a great military power. He was better than the blue one. He then participated in the expulsion of the Tartars and restored China. In the name of deputy commander, he controlled all affairs in Jiangnan, controlled the military control of Jiangnan, suppressed the nobles and powerful people who made national disasters and wealth, and stabilized the hearts of the people.

Afterwards, he swept across Huguang, spread the southwest, destroyed the last resistance force on the mainland - Wu Sangui, and then quickly cut off the mess and changed the land to the southwest.

In the Northern Expedition to the Northern Desert War, he supervised the country and then personally presided over the disarmament and assisted the empire in controlling the group of military meritorious deities that were in a dominant position at that time.

Li Junduo stood on Li Mingxun's shoulders and swept the world, laying the foundation for the empire's territory and internal stability. But the problem is that Li Junhua, who won the position of crown prince early, also grew up at this time. Although he was not as powerful as the elder brother, he was humble, steady and kind.

The empire won the world by expelling the Tartars and restoring China. But it has to be said that it also destroyed the Zhu Ming regime that restored the country in Nanjing, and then cleaned up the landlords and literati and officials across the country. Their legal system has always been controversial. Li Junhua has the bloodline of the empire and the Ming Dynasty royal family, and is the prince's honor, so it is reasonable to inherit the throne.

This creates a problem. Li Jundu won the world and asked his younger brother to pick peaches.

Li Mingxun did give his two sons a chance. He asked his eldest son to participate in the formulation of the Northern Expedition plan. Seeing that the eldest son was eager for quick success and instant benefits, he coveted the throne. However, he asked the prince to participate in the Northern Expedition and the eldest son was in charge of the country.

The eldest son was tepid, but the second son led his army to the north with Chongling, and went straight in. He chased Aisin Gioro Xuanye on the grassland of northern Moon for thousands of miles, but he could not rest for several months. In the past, the plot of the prince's pedantic and Virgin Mary was wiped out, and he was decisive in the battle formation. He even unexpectedly fought Aisin Gioro on the grassland and won the battle.

Although the prince has few opportunities, he proved that he was as outstanding as his elder brother.

After that, Li Mingxun gave his two sons another fair competition. Disarmament and cleaning up Shangdian were both offensive. The two sons were one by one, and the eldest son was excellent in disarmament. However, the second son cleared up the military camp with equal importance, and directly gave all Shangdians a way out by provoking the Japanese civil war, and showed zero tolerance for corruption and other phenomena.

Li Mingxun hesitated for a long time, so he placed his hope on his beloved young son. He felt that giving birth to a son was like Huawei making mobile phones, each generation was stronger than the next, so maybe the young son would be more talented.

As it turns out, he is right. Among all his sons, the youngest son is the smartest and most wise. Because he is too smart and knowledgeable, he doesn't want to be an emperor at all. He does such a chore that restricts personal freedom and labor.

It was the eldest son who helped him make the decision. Li Mingxun discovered that his eldest son used a trick in the process of competing for the throne and actually took the initiative to contact the remnants of the scholars and officials of Zhu Ming, who threatened the prince's safety. This behavior can be called rebellious in all dynasties, but Li Mingxun didn't care.

Because he was sure that his eldest son was just fighting for the throne and did not want to kill his younger brother, that alone was enough. As for the throne, Li Mingxun, from the perspective of the eldest son, he also thought that he could not give up and conquer the country and sit for others. This kind of thing was impossible for the saints, let alone Li Mingxun even confiscated the house of Confucius.

But Li Mingxun doesn't want to continue. Since he can't get enough of this kind of thing, he should do as much as possible. Since his youngest son doesn't want to be the emperor, he can only choose one of two.

Li Mingxun confirmed that his eldest son was a person like Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. He was a good player in expanding territory, but he was not good at governing the country. He could not tolerate the bourgeoisie and believed that the House of Representatives should be banned. Li Mingxun believed that his career could not be passed on to his eldest son.

If he wanted to become a feudal autocratic monarch, he would not have established a constitutional monarchy at the beginning.

So he gave the eldest son the opportunity to establish his own empire, America or subcontinent, choose one of two.

Based on his judgment of the future situation and his guilt towards his eldest son, when the eldest son chose the subcontinent, Li Mingxun believed that the subcontinent belonged to the eldest son, and this was his stage. This seemed nothing at the time, after all, Li Mingxun believed that the subcontinent was on the edge of the sphere of influence of the empire was the subcontinent.

But the problem is that his youngest son Li Junwei has shown Wuwei, which is no less than his eldest son since the 20th year of the empire. Although Li Junwei is very brave and never comes to the battle formation in person. He even hides behind to have fun because of the cold. He is completely different from his elder brother who dares to drive a battleship into the enemy's battle line and fights with the second brother who fights Aisin Gioro Xuanye on the grass.

But the facts proved that he was a good commander, and he used the smallest cost and highest efficiency to expand the territory of the empire in both sea and land, and has been reaching its limits.

This directly changed Li Mingxun's judgment on the situation. The empire established direct rule in the South Ocean, making the prosperity of the South Ocean second only to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It established four provinces in South Africa, dominated the entire Australia and opened the Suez Canal. This means that the Indian Ocean region, which was originally regarded by Li Mingxun as the edge of the empire's sphere of influence, suddenly became the back garden of the empire.

Sitting beside the bed, you cannot let others sleep soundly.

Li Junhua, who became emperor, would not allow his elder brother to dominate the subcontinent regardless of whether it was for selfishness or the strategic interests of the empire. You should know that this is a region with a population of more than 100 million. The emergence of a unified regime will be the biggest threat to the empire.

Therefore, the empire joined forces on the subcontinent, and eventually restricted the Hindustan Empire to the Indus River Basin, the upper reaches of the Ganges and the northern part of the Deccan Plateau. They retained the Mughal dynasty on the subcontinent, supported powerful forces such as the Marathi Empire, and formed a three-legged situation.

Li Mingxun accepted this reality. Although his son was close, he was not as good as his own nation and country. What's more, there were two sons here.

But the problem is that Lee Myung-hoon accepted the affairs of the country, but felt even more guilty about his late eldest son. Moreover, the current emperor of the Indian Empire, Lee Zhao-kyu, grew up in front of him. Therefore, Lee Myung-hoon has always taken care of the Indian royal family, which is what everyone knows.

Fortunately, after Li Zhaogui ascended the throne, he changed his father's vigilance and alienation towards the empire during his lifetime, achieved friendly relations with the empire, and created dual friendship between the royal family and the country. He was born in the empire and grew up with the empire, and had a deep understanding of the empire's strategy and strength. Therefore, he never wanted to expand his territory and unify the subcontinent. Instead, he recuperated and educated the people of the subcontinent. It can be regarded as a rare example of benevolence in the history of the subcontinent for thousands of years.

Li Hai and Lin Junhong arrived at the terrace and saw the father and son sitting alone without saying a word, thinking that it must be a big deal.
