After having this thought in his mind, Li Qin looked in the direction of Li Ruwen's room in the distance and gently shook his head.
Li Ruwen is still young, so it's too early for this situation to occur.
If he could really affect me, I wouldn't recommend sacrificing my son and causing his sudden death.
Then Li Qin said to the servant in front of him:
"Go to Ruwen's room and let him rest early. He can rest for half a day or two tomorrow."
Aside from the homework assigned by the teacher, he didn't need to do anything else.
Just say it was me who said it.
By the way, you can tell him tomorrow to come to the hall where I review memorials after class.
I personally taught him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Li Qin gave his instructions, the servants immediately began to work.
Li Qin, meanwhile, was looking in the direction of Li Ruwen's room in the distance.
Indeed, it would be most convincing if the eldest son were to inherit the throne.
It is also the best way to maintain the stability of the imperial court.
It would be best to keep him by my side and teach him together.
It would be best if he could be trained to meet my expectations; if he really couldn't be trained, then I would find someone else.
After all, I'm still young.
After giving this instruction, Li Qin suddenly thought of something and then summoned his servant.
Tell the servant to summon Li Ruwu as well tomorrow.
After all, he only has these two children now, and he can still manage to teach them.
Most importantly, he now has to treat both children equally.
Because he suddenly remembered a problem, which was that although he had some hope for his eldest son.
At the same time, he will be raised separately, taking advantage of his status as the eldest son.
This will give a very clear signal.
That means he is the most likely successor to his legacy.
As time went on and Li Ruwen grew up, his subordinates inevitably began to gravitate towards him.
After all, it's best to curry favor with the future heir as soon as possible.
Over time, his subordinates will inevitably gather a powerful political force.
If you want to mess with him again, you'd better think twice.
Although I am not afraid of these things, I still need to be mindful of the impact.
Most importantly, the crown prince and the emperor are natural opposites.
You may think they are in a succession relationship, but if you really only want to raise a crown prince...
Your subordinates also all went to befriend the Crown Prince, and as the Crown Prince's power grew completely.
Whether he can maintain his position as emperor is uncertain.
Because the crown prince is the person who poses the greatest threat to the throne.
When the crown prince's power is left unchecked, the emperor himself is not far from death.
After all, the old emperor was dead, the crown prince ascended the throne smoothly, and all those who followed him had rendered meritorious service.
Even if the crown prince himself disagrees, his subordinates will push him to take that step.
Because only if the crown prince advances can they advance as well.
It's the same reason why Li Qin's subordinates kept urging him to declare himself emperor.
Once the position of crown prince was confirmed, his only obstacle was the emperor's lifespan.
The sooner you die, the more advantageous it will be for him and for their power.
When their power is unchecked, the emperor is always at risk of being prematurely and undignified.
Anyway, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he can just announce that the emperor died suddenly. Who will investigate?
Who dares to investigate?
Moreover, he was very clear about the nature of his subordinates.
They have the audacity to rebel with me because of wealth and status.
They also had the audacity to rebel for greater wealth and power.
Therefore, most emperors throughout history, with very few exceptions, did not establish a crown prince after doing so.
They would then support other princes, cultivate their power, and send them to fight against the crown prince, thus curbing his influence.
Only in this way can the emperor's safety be guaranteed.
As the emperor aged and his energy waned, it became necessary to establish a crown prince. At the same time, to prevent himself from being ousted, other princes also needed to be supported.
This is why, in history, even though emperors had already designated a crown prince, they did not favor that prince but instead nurtured other princes.
He's doing this to ensure his own safety.
Of course, this kind of power struggle between the crown prince and other princes is very likely to go too far in the end.
If things go wrong, it will cause chaos.
However, a crown prince cannot be left unappointed, otherwise there will be no heir and another upheaval will ensue.
However, once a crown prince is established, for the sake of their own safety, they must cultivate other princes to counterbalance the crown prince.
This seems to be an unsolvable cycle.
During this time, he also considered secretly establishing a crown prince, writing an edict, and announcing it after his death.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea, thinking that it might be worth trying once the world was at peace.
But in the current situation, he has so many treacherous and cunning ministers under his command.
Doing that will only result in your children seemingly having opportunities, but at the same time, none of them having a solid foundation.
After they pass away, will their successors, who lack a strong foundation, be able to take over smoothly?
Especially the transition between the first and second generations.
In the early days of the People's Republic of China, things were bound to happen.
Thinking of this, Li Qin finally sighed.
Let's raise these two children first.
Treat everyone equally.
After all, they are still young, let's take it one step at a time.
Then, depending on the situation, the corresponding policies will be implemented.
Moreover, he was still young, and he had a noble military and political group under his command in Liaodong.
I can still keep it firmly in my control.
