Li Junwei listened to his nephew spitting and talking about his youngest son. He shook his head gently and finally said, "After a while, you will live in Shenjing for a long time, so you will come into contact with many children. Maybe you will find that Zhaoming is more suitable, maybe."

Lee Zhaokyu knew that his third uncle would not let go so easily, so he accepted it calmly. Lee Mingxun quickly asked Lee Zhaokyu about his mother's recent situation. Obviously, Lee Mingxun was also very concerned about this daughter-in-law, who was the most satisfied daughter-in-law.

One after another, the children who worked overseas returned to the empire. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 45th year of the empire, the royal family gathered together, but they only lacked the youngest son of Prince Yu, Li Zhaoming, who was highly anticipated.

On the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 45th year of the Empire, important members of the imperial royal family gathered in the Changshou Palace.

The two princes of the Empire, the Empire Emperor, the Indian Emperor, the Emperor Yu, the King Cheng, the King Ying, and the Prince Yu Mansion, there are seven people in total. Some of them have been emperors, some have been emperors in front of them, some have almost become emperors, and some will become emperors in the future, while others are the emperor's right-hand man and half of the emperor.

All the irrelevant people were invited out, and people from the imperial royal family listened to the Hadith of the Supreme Emperor Li Mingxun.

"When I started my foundation in Baodao, I was not sure enough to complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars and restoring China in my lifetime. At that time, I planned overseas and thought that I could not do it and that my descendants could do it. I even made the worst plan, letting Ma Donglai go to Australia to explore as the last place after the failure of the Qing Dynasty and the failure of the European heroes.

Fortunately, my old guys and I have gained a foothold in the South Ocean and the southeast coast. Even at that time, I was still slim about the future. Therefore, in the cultivation of Coinde, the first requirement was to make him a qualified military commander, which led to all subsequent changes... "Li Mingxun recalled his past glorious years and told his children and grandchildren about his mental journey.

"In the pre-imperial era, when the empire changed from an armed society to a country, the eldest brother Lin Cheng once discussed with me a topic about the fate of the world, that is, whether I want to become an emperor." Li Mingxun said.

Everyone present had a slightly changed face because the third generation had never seen the first generation of King Cheng. Even the second generation of the royal family, such as Lin Junhong, had only vague memories of the elderly uncle because they were too young at that time. But everyone knew one thing, that is, Lin Cheng played a decisive role in Li Mingxun's final decision to become emperor.

That effect even surpasses the support of the national army after the victory of the Three Emperors' Conquest.

Li Mingxun's next words surprised everyone. Li Mingxun said: "At that time, I rejected Lin Cheng's suggestion and did not choose to be emperor. This is what everyone knows. But what everyone doesn't know is that at that time, I regarded the imperial system as a disaster and did not want another emperor to appear in the Chinese nation and build another empire.

I once said that the economic foundation determines the superstructure. I have always believed that this is the truth. If our foundation was not based in the South China Sea and started with maritime trade, perhaps from the beginning, I would have been an emperor. When I really defeated the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, I was worried that our country would be a snake swallowing an elephant.

At that time, our system and civilization were incompatible with the traditional Chinese civilization. I was worried that when we entered the mainland, we would be assimilated and become a feudal monarchy again. Therefore, when Emperor Yongli was controlled by Wu Sangui, Lin Cheng once again asked me to be emperor, but I still chose to refuse."

"Grandpa Emperor, is it really a bad thing to be a feudal monarch?" Li Zhaoying asked.

Everyone present was the only one who was out of place, because although he had been influenced by politics for half of his life, he had never devoted himself to politics. Instead, he stayed away from the political whirlpool as much as possible and lived his own life.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "There are no absolute bad things or absolute good things in this world. If I chose to become a supreme monarch at the moment when the empire was established, I thought it would be possible to do it with my prestige in the country and my control over the army.

And if the empire was a feudal dynasty from the beginning, it would not be a completely bad thing. I think there would be no Japanese problem. We can annex Japan, or all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula, and even include India within the sphere of rule.

Even our army can sweep across the entire Eurasian continent and complete the great achievements that Genghis Khans did not accomplish. However, that is completely meaningless. What you conquer will eventually be lost, unless we transform into the greatest demons in the world and destroy all disobedient nations."

As soon as these words were said, everyone nodded secretly. This is also a true portrayal of the empire's current overseas and mainland development.

The Empire is the largest country in the world, but one thing is that the Empire has never truly conquered a non-Chinese civilized country, or in other words, except for the Kingdom of Korea, the Empire has never conquered a civilized country.

The conquest of the Kingdom of Korea was not considered conquest. The empire liberated the Korean people from the enslavement rule of the Qing Dynasty and the oppression of the Korean nobles. Moreover, North Korea is known as the Little China, and it is almost a civilization with the Empire.

The land that the empire has developed and conquered over the years is either completely uncivilized indigenous people, such as the Americas, Australia, South Asia and Africa, or it has completed the vacancy and bird exchange, and completed the bloodless "genocide" such as the Kazakh prairie, South Russia and other places.

A truly civilized country, a country with a large population, has not touched any of the empires because the empire realized that even conquering is temporary and will spit it out if it swallows it. So why not use these resources to swallow some land that will permanently belong to its own country and nation?

Li Mingxun also said: "The feudal dynasty has its own superiority. A wise lord can use this system to sweep the world and conquer the world, but absolute power means absolute corruption, this is true for officials and emperors. When a person is not under the control of other forces, he will lose his ambition and lose his humanity.
