Unluckily, Li Ji was shot to death by a stray arrow, which brought a huge trouble to Dazhong—the crown prince was gone.

Because the transportation and communication are not so convenient, and the most important thing is that Dazhong is so big that it will take three or four years to hold a crown prince election. Like the first crown prince election, it took even more time A full five years.

But now, Li Yan is 61 and almost 62 years old, the key is that Li Yan is really enough to be the emperor.

Moreover, Li Xiu is almost forty, which is the best age to be an emperor.

Therefore, you can't wait another three to five years until the next crown prince is elected and Li Yan will step aside, right?
Ever since, Li Yan changed the Crown Prince Election Law, no, to be precise, he should supplement the Crown Prince Election Law:
After the crown prince is selected, including before the crown prince ascends the throne, if any accident happens to the crown prince, the position of crown prince will be inherited by the crown prince candidate with the second most votes in the same session. If there is an accident, the crown prince will be succeeded by the crown prince candidate with the third most votes in the same session, and so on.

Explanation: If it is found that the crown prince and the crown prince candidate died unnaturally, that is, they were murdered, the cause of death must be found out. If the death is related to the next crown prince candidate, they will be severely punished according to law and their inheritance qualifications will be deprived.

According to the crown prince election law supplemented by Li Yanxin, Li Ji's position as crown prince should be succeeded by the crown prince candidate with the second most votes this time.

So who is the crown prince candidate with the second most votes in this crown prince election?

This person is... Li Xu.

Some people may wonder, how could Li Xu be the second most voted?

There is of course a reason for this.

In fact, at the very beginning, the crown prince candidate with the second most votes was not Li Xu, but Li Maung. All the votes for breaking the enemy were more than Li Xu, and Li Xu only got a little more votes than Li Ci and Li Bi, ranking seventh.

This order has not changed much until Li Ji has won steadily.

After Li Ji's steady victory, Li Mao became discouraged when he saw that the overall situation was settled. In the subsequent elections, he went out of formality and devoted all his energy to traveling in mountains and rivers. head.

Similar to Li Mao's situation is Li Jian.

However, Li Jian did not forget his great cause of education while traveling in the mountains and rivers, and he was better than Li Mao.

And Li Xu, Li Dian, and Li Podi also have their own things to be busy. You know, they are all leaders in the same industry, and they have a lot of things to do. They definitely took time out of their busy schedules. Those who participated in the election, now that they have lost the election, they naturally have to continue to busy with their own affairs. To be honest, if it were not forcibly stipulated by the Crown Prince Election Law, once they participated in the election, they had to go through all the counties and vassal states, and they would have returned to their homeland long ago. That piece went.

In fact, not only Li Mao, Li Jian, Li Xu, Li Dian, and Li Podi, but even Li Ci, Li Bi, and even Li Ji stopped participating in the election after the result was determined—in the end During this period of selection, they are all busy with their own affairs.

Like Li Ji, he has already begun to visit various places to observe the people's conditions and prepare for future governance.

Like Li Ci and Li Bi, they have begun to control the development of their small countries.

Only Li Xu is still conscientiously participating in the election, and his attitude is extremely correct. The first time he arrives at a place, whether it is a county or a vassal state, he must first pay a visit first, and then personally write a speech according to the local situation.

When everyone else was fooling around and only Li Xu took it seriously, many areas that were not optimistic about Li Xu also voted for Li Xu, and some simply threw their votes to Li Xu out of anger.

As a result, Li Xu chose the route in the second half, no, to be precise, in the second half of the route. He exploded and his ranking skyrocketed. In the end, Li Mao, who was ranked second, was pushed to the third place and became the second in the vote. Many crown prince candidates.

At that time, everyone was puzzled by Li Xu's actions. Li Mao even told Li Jian: "97 is just an elm head. The result has already been decided. Why is he still busy? No wonder he can do it in Mobei. Stay in that place where the birds don't shit for more than ten years."

It has to be said that once Li Ji died, Li Yan supplemented the election law, let Li Xu pick up a crown prince, and made Li Mao a joke.

But no matter who it is, while saying that Li Xu is lucky, he must also sincerely say that this is the result of Li Xu's perseverance and God's reward for hard work.

When Li Xu returned to Zhongjing, Li Yan promulgated the Supplementary Regulations to the Crown Prince Election Law, and then announced that Li Xu would be the Crown Prince, and that Li Xu would temporarily serve as the Governor of Yanjing. In addition, Yelu Yu Liyan was promoted by Li Yan to the imperial concubine.

As soon as Li Yan's series of decrees came out, many people from the original Liao Dynasty, the original Jin people, the original Mongols, the original Central South people, the original Central Asians, and the original Europeans began to cheer. According to the legend, His Majesty Li Yan really did what he said, he treated all his people equally, and let Li Xu, who is of Khitan blood, be crown prince and emperor.

This also made Dazhong's cohesion stronger. The original Liao people, the original Jin people, the original Mongolians, the original Central South people, the original Central Asian people, and the original Europeans finally began to believe what the Propaganda Department has been promoting: Dazhong is not just The Dazhong of the Han people is also the Dazhong of the people of the world.

At the end of the 14th year of Dading, Li Yan announced his abdication and passed the throne to his fourth son Li Xiu.

After Li Xiu ascended the throne, he changed the year name to Yongding, respected Li Yan as the Supreme Emperor, and respected Liu Huiniang and Huan'er as Queen Mothers.

After Li Xiu ascended the throne, he sent troops in the name of Li Ji's revenge to wipe out all the Khwarazim and Kipchak people who lived in the West Siberia Mountains plain west of the Central Siberia Plateau, and conquered Kagasi, completely occupying the West Siberia Mountains Plain, and then sent officials to govern there, and completely merged there into Dazhong, which increased the land area of ​​Dazhong by a lot.

Undoubtedly, after Li Xiu came to the throne, it was set on fire to show that Dazhong is now headed by him, Li Xiu.

In this regard, Li Yan is very supportive.

In fact, the soldiers who fought on the mountains and plains of West Siberia were sent by Li Yan.

After demonstrating his imperial power, Li Xiu no longer considered using force.

In fact, Li Xiu didn't need to use force anymore, because Dazhong was already invincible in the world, and Dazhong's territory was too large to manage, so what else was there to fight?
Next, Li Xiu continued to manage Dazhong according to Li Yan's previous plan.

After Li Xiu became emperor for five years, he was recognized by most of the adult men of the royal family, and he was re-elected for another term.

During the ten years that Li Xiu was emperor, his greatest achievement was that he completed the "Great Railway" plan and the "Belt and Road" plan that Li Yan had not completed, and strengthened Dazhong's rule over the world.

When the ten years came, Li Xiu chose to abdicate in accordance with the Emperor Law formulated by Li Yan, and handed over the throne to his 97th brother Li Xu.

And Li Xu's crown prince will be succeeded by Li Podi, who was elected with a high number of votes in the third crown prince election...
