Chapter 290
Boom!
A word fell.
Yan Wushuang suddenly raised his head.
He looked at Gao Yang in disbelief, and this sentence kept stirring in his mind!
For him, Gao Yang was not only sure of Li Shimin, but also Yan Wushuang!
Because in his heart, since this story came out, he regarded him and Li Shimin as the same kind of people, because their experiences, their life experiences, and even the situation they are facing now are almost the same!
"The greatest emperor in history?"
Yan Wushuang couldn't stop talking.
"This Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, ignoring the fact that filial piety is the first of all virtues. How could he be the greatest emperor in history?"
Although he knew that Gao Yang was digging a hole and had his own purpose, this recognition, especially from Gao Yang, was something Yan Wushuang couldn't resist at all.
Seeing this, Gao Yang asked back, "Your Highness, Prince Yan, what kind of character do you think the greatest emperor in history should have?"
Yan Wushuang didn't say anything, just stared at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang immediately spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the room!
"Even if it is an ordinary emperor's road, it is destined to be a pile of bones. One emperor's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of bones, let alone an emperor who has created an eternal foundation!"
"Domineering!"
"Decisive!"
"Cruel!"
"Not afraid of worldly eyes!"
"This is the common characteristic of emperors of the ages!"
"Not cruel, but too concerned about worldly views, this may make a good emperor, but it will never be the emperor of the ages, because the essence of the emperor's way is to exploit!"
"Gathering talents from all over the world, absorbing the wealth of the world, and gathering the power of a country, it is possible to accomplish great things. Looking at the history of the seven countries in the world for thousands of years, it is the same!"
"If Li Shimin had not been cruel and ruthless, and had not cared about worldly views, and killed his brother Li Jiancheng, how could there be a brilliant and prosperous era after the Tang Dynasty?"
Buzz!
Yan Wushuang heard this, his eyes suddenly condensed.
This sentence of the emperor of the ages hit Yan Wushuang directly in the heart!
A good emperor cannot become the greatest emperor of all time. A true greatest emperor of all time should gather talents from all over the world, absorb wealth from all over the world, and gather the power of a country to do something great!
Yan Wushuang looked at Gao Yang without saying a word.
But in his heart, a huge wave of shock had already been set off!
Yuan Xuanlin and Yang Wei behind him suddenly clenched their fists, and their eyes were tightly locked on Gao Yang, with endless shock in their eyes!
Gao Yang's face was calm, and he continued, "Since Your Highness the Prince of Yan has also heard this story, then I dare to ask, do you think Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, putting aside the issue of his character, is this right or wrong?"
As soon as this question came out, Yan Wushuang's eyes were cold, and the speed of rubbing the jade ring became faster and faster.
"Master Gao, do you think Li Shimin is right or wrong? I really want to hear your opinion!"
"I don't deserve your opinion, but since His Royal Highness Prince Yan asked, I will speak freely!"
Gao Yang suddenly leaned forward, looking straight at Yan Wushuang, and said shockingly, "I think Li Shimin is right!"
"Then the crown prince Li Jiancheng should be killed, and the Tang Emperor Li Yuan should be imprisoned!"
"And if I were Li Shimin, the bloodshed would be wider, and I would do it more thoroughly to prevent future troubles. The egg yolks in the crown prince's mansion must be shaken apart, and the ant nests must be scalded with boiling water!"
"Wherever you go, no grass will grow!"
The words exploded in my heart like a wave of sound!
Yan Wushuang's eyes suddenly tightened, and he said word by word, "Why?"
Gao Yang saw Yan Wushuang's expression, and his body suddenly relaxed again, leaning back, with a faint smile on his face.
"Your Highness, why do all the major dynasties in history books, as well as the seven countries in the world, even the aristocratic families, choose the eldest son inheritance system? Is the eldest son inheritance system really that good?"
Yan Wushuang frowned when he heard this, and a subtle gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Since it has been passed down for thousands of years, the eldest son inheritance system is the best." Yan Wushuang said.
"No!" Gao Yang denied it directly. He said: "In my opinion, the so-called primogeniture system is not the best, it is just the most suitable!"
"Choosing the primogeniture system, the eldest son is the legitimate son instead of the virtuous one, but this is not because the virtuous one is bad, but because the eldest son is not controversial, but once the virtuous one is appointed, it is not known who is virtuous until the last person is killed!"
"Once the virtuous one is appointed, a very interesting phenomenon will appear at that time. All the princes will think that they are virtuous. It is the one with strong soldiers and horses who is virtuous. Whoever has more soldiers is virtuous, whoever has a bigger fist is virtuous!"
"Even if the emperor is strong and has many means, it is useless under the temptation of the throne. For the throne, a large number of conspirators will be born. Those who ascend the throne may not be truly virtuous, but they must be conspirators!"
"So there is the primogeniture system, the eldest son is the legitimate son instead of the virtuous one, now and in the futureIt has always been the eldest son inheritance system, this is the general trend! "
Yan Wushuang heard this and said nothing.
His eyes flickered and his whole body tensed.
At this moment, he already knew what Gao Yang was going to say!
"From the perspective of the world and the unification of the dynasty, this is an excellent way to maintain the rule of the dynasty. As long as it is the first child born by the wife, he will be the future crown prince!"
"Undoubtedly, it cannot be shaken!"
"Under the eldest son system, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for other princes to rebel!"
"Not to mention anything else, an unjust name can ruin his reputation. In this way, his fate is determined from birth, there will be fewer fights in the palace, and fewer party struggles in the court. The world will naturally be stable, and the imperial power will be smoothly transferred!"
"But from the perspective of other princes, the rule of establishing the eldest son instead of the virtuous seems very unfair! "
"Just because I was not born by the wife and I was born a little late, I am destined to have no chance of becoming the emperor. From the perspective of the overall situation of the world, this is to maintain the rule, but from the perspective of the prince, why?"
"I am obviously stronger than the prince, and I am ten or a hundred times stronger. Why can't I be the prince?"
"Your Highness, Prince of Yan, what do you think?"
