Chapter 416 The mother is the son
Princess Jin Wang Yan is pregnant, this is undoubtedly good news. ◎,
This means that Li Zhi wants to be a father and have his own children, which is definitely a very important matter in the royal family.
The establishment of a crown prince is a tradition of the country. It often requires not only consideration of the son, but even the grandson. After all, no one wants to die in the second lifetime.
Once the emperor does not have a biological son, the inheritance of the throne will easily lead to chaos, so the candidate for the prince should also consider whether the adult prince has a son.
The emperor's grandson often becomes a bonus option for a prince. For example, Zhu Di, the later Ming Dynasty master, wanted to depose the crown prince Zhu Gaochi many times because his obese and disabled son was not like his wise and powerful self. Zhu Di felt that he was detrimental to the royal dignity.
In contrast, the second son, Li Ji, was so moved by the age of Yi Chu. At that time, Minister Xie Jin was a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi. In order to dispel the emperor's idea of deposing the crown prince, when Zhu Di asked, he did not say anything about the principle of deposing the eldest son and establishing the young son, but only said the three words "good emperor grandson".
It is a bad rule to abolish the eldest son and establish the young, but if the eldest son is really not a good person, the courageous emperor will definitely dare to "break the rules" on the major issue of inheritance of the country. Zhu Di is such a person. However, the three words "good emperor grandson" have an unbiased practical temptation/temptation.
Zhu Gaochi himself may not have much ability, but he gave birth to a good son, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji was talented and loved by Zhu Di. For the emperor, his son was not good, but as long as he had a good grandson, the royal family could still be revitalized in the future and the country would still be prosperous and strong.
There is also a saying that the reason why Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty appointed the fourth prince Yinzhen as the crown prince was also related to the good prince Hongli (Qianlong). Of course, this is just a speculation from later generations, and may not be the case, but the value of the good prince is self-evident.
Li Chengqian was very unworthy when he was the crown prince, but he also added a lot of points since giving birth to his son Li Xiang. Li Shimin loved this prince from beginning to end.
The reason why Li Tai's words of killing his son and seeking a crown have a counterproductive effect is that in addition to the cold blood and cruelty revealed, it is also closely related to this. The royal family, which pays the most attention to bloodline inheritance, has to cut off their descendants. How can this be done?
Now that Princess Jin is pregnant, it is undoubtedly a great thing. Li Zhi has a son, so he has inherited his legacy. There are undoubtedly more weights in the competition for the position of prince.
Because King Li Ke of Wu is already in his twenties and does not have a son yet, this not only makes Li Shimin and Yang Fei a little worried.
There is no doubt that Li Ke has temporarily lost in this matter.
Fortunately, Wang Yan is pregnant. The one born in the future will definitely be a legitimate son, so there will be no more Queen Wang has no son and compete for favor with Concubine Xiao Shu, and civil strife in the palace.
Moreover, after the news of pregnancy spread, the Wang family in Taiyuan will definitely be particularly happy. In the past, they supported only son-in-law, but perhaps they felt that it was not that reliable. But now it is different. What they support is the grandson who is flowing with the blood of the Wang family, which has a very different meaning.
With this point alone, the Wang family of Taiyuan will do their best to help Li Zhi. The Wang family of Taiyuan may also mobilize the entire Shandong gentry to participate and become the strong backing of His Highness the King of Jin.
Behind Li Zhi is the uncle Changsun Wuji, and the Guanlong nobles he represented. In terms of situation, Li Zhi also received support from Guanlong and Shandong families.
This son ascended the throne, which can ensure that he can take care of the interests of all parties and ensure the stability of the situation in the DPRK and China. Li Shimin will not be unable to see these key factors.
So now Li Zhi's competitiveness has been greatly improved and the opportunities are getting bigger and bigger, so Xie Yi is naturally particularly happy. In this case, maybe there is no need to do more by himself, and the Changsun family and the Wang family in Taiyuan are willing to help and promote it.
As a chief official, it’s a pleasant thing to sit and enjoy the fruits of his achievements.
Regardless of whether Li Zhi understands it now or not, he will definitely understand what he has done for him over the years, so this merit of becoming a dragon cannot be eliminated.
Because he became pregnant after coming to Wangchuan Villa, Wang Yan was also amazed and was even more grateful to the Xie family. Wangchuan Villa, the reputation of the blessing of the world, spread out.
The three wives of the Xie family were pregnant. This was a rare scene. Many people proposed to stay in a villa in Wangchuan, but the Xie family politely declined. After all, it was a private place for their own family and it was not convenient to entertain outsiders for a long time.
All households also understood it, so they changed their strategies and began to look for places with quiet environments and excellent feng shui to build villas. Especially those families with not very prosperous descendants, they did not hesitate to make money and bought land to build them.
So much so that for a period of time, a frenzy of Nanshan villa construction occurred in the Tang Dynasty, and to a certain extent, triggered the real estate bubble of the Tang Dynasty.
After hearing the news at Wangchuan Villa, Xie Yi felt funny.
"What does it have to do if the offspring is not prosperous or if the other yard is built? That's right, the mountains are quiet and there is peace and comfort. If you can have more time, then it's up to you, it depends on the man's own strength, right?"
He patted his long white legs on the couch and Xie Yi smiled and said, "So, it's okay, let your man exercise more. If it really doesn't work, go to the doctor to prescribe some tonics, but it's not as talented as he is."
"You!" Du Xijun, who was standing beside him, lying on the couch with a very lazy laziness, her skin was flushed and her eyes were as charming as silk. The three ladies were pregnant, and they were mostly not convenient to serve their husbands except for those who were occasionally close to each other. Xie Yi had to have many concerns and could not enjoy it, so Du Xijun undoubtedly became the main force.
After two twists and turns, the beauty had long lost her strength and lay on the bamboo couch and talked to Xie Yi about these gossips about the powerful families in Chang'an. There were many people who came to visit the villa in Wangchuan these days, and Du Xijun had long been bothered.
"It's right to refuse them. I don't want outsiders to disturb such a quiet and beautiful place, especially when I come to live." Xie Yi smiled and said, "Otherwise, how can I sleep directly with Mrs. Cai? How can I go to Baiyun to see the peace?"
"Didn't I refuse this? I just said that there are many female relatives in the family and they are pregnant, so I'm not allowed to live with outsiders forever." Du Xijun said leisurely: "Actually, these ladies are pitiful. I guess they don't have much favor on weekdays. I hope they can come to us to gain some money and then go back to win over their husbands' favors and children.
Although they are pitiful, I dare not keep them. The female family members staying alone will damage Saburo's reputation. If the couple comes together, it will damage our reputation. Let them build a house by themselves!”
"That's right. I guess there are many of them who have other ideas." Xie Yi smiled faintly.
"What?" Du Xijun hesitated at first, and then suddenly said: "Are you talking about His Highness King Jin?"
"Yes, the position of the prince is empty, and the King of Jin has undoubtedly become very popular, but there are no foreign visitors in Furong Garden. They have no choice but to come to us."
Xie Yi said: "I am a guest who has been thanking guests in a closed manner, but I am still very upset. I am really annoying! Do you know that a few days ago, Erlang from the Mo family wanted to visit me, and the post reads that he asked me for advice on room/Chinese art. What do you think this is a matter?"
Du Xijun chuckled and said, "It's really..."
"There is no way, who makes the reputation outside? The three ladies are pregnant at the same time. This kind of situation is not common in the palace. Then I wanted to meet me in this way, but I really had nothing to say." Xie Yi shook his head and said, "How can such private affairs in our boudoir be told to outsiders?"
"Sanlang is completely different from those children of aristocratic families. They usually claim to be a romantic and enjoy boasting about such a thing, and I have heard of it."
"Of course I'm boasting. Seeing their excessive drinking and sex, they've long been a gun. I'm really capable. I should love my wife well at home..."
While talking, Xie Yi turned over and asked leisurely: "Have you had a rest?"
"Ah? You still want..." Du Xijun exclaimed immediately, and the room was full of spring.
...
In Tai Chi Palace, Yang Fei’s bedroom is also full of spring.
Li Shimin hasn't been here for a long time. After all, Concubine Yang is old and has become old and has become weak. In recent years, she mainly serves in bed with new young concubines.
But no one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly arrive and stay in the palace. Naturally, Concubine Yang would sleep that night.
His son Li Ke is already in his twenties, and Concubine Yang is almost forty years old. You know that he is as thirty as a wolf and as a tiger as a 40, which should be the age when women need the highest demands. But it is the most difficult for women in the palace. He is old and has a weaker sex, and most of them have no favor, so he naturally lives a very depressed life.
But last night, the emperor suddenly stayed overnight and favored Concubine Yang. Although the old couple was not as wild as when they were young, they were also satisfied with each other, especially when Concubine Yang was in a long time, she suddenly felt sweet rain, and her whole body was full of vitality and brilliance that she had not seen for a long time, becoming more and more moving.
So much so that His Majesty Li Er, who was in his forties and was already a little weak, scored twice, which made Concubine Yang even more satisfied.
**After, Li Shimin and Concubine Yang were lying on the couch, hugging each other, and the radiant Concubine Yang was satisfied. But as **** gradually calmed down, she keenly realized that the emperor suddenly arrived tonight and was very unusual for him to pamper her. Perhaps there was something else behind this.
Li Shimin held Yang Fei Guanghua's still waist and whispered: "I remember, when you first entered Chang'an, you were only thirteen years old and were still a little girl, running barefoot in the palace, afraid of being anxious."
"No, I was really scared at that time. The army entered the city, and the Sui Dynasty was over. What would happen to me, a princess in the previous dynasty? I didn't even have time to wear shoes, so I just wanted to escape, but I didn't expect to meet His Majesty." Recalling the past, Concubine Yang's emotions not only changed slightly, but also moved.
"I saw you so cute and loving, so I carried you on my back." Li Shimin said each sentence about the past, recalling the heroic appearance of the past.
"I was leaning in Your Majesty's arms at that time and felt very safe. Wherever Your Majesty went, all the generals surrendered and shouted to His Highness the King of Qin."
Concubine Yang smiled and said, "At that time, I thought Your Majesty was so tall and very handsome... and then he was taken back to the Qin Palace by Your Majesty."
"Yes, I brought the little princess of the former Sui Dynasty back to my house and became my concubine. I still remember your shy look on the first night." Li Shimin laughed, as if he was very proud of the wind and flowing scene back then.
Although many years later, Concubine Yang could not help but blush and said leisurely: "It was still young at that time, and it was the first time to serve Your Majesty, so it was inevitable... It would be great in the future. I remember that Sister Changsun was pregnant at that time, and Your Majesty often favored me..."
"Yes, Guanyin maid is a virtuous wife, virtuous and kind, but she is lively and cute. No matter how much fatigue she is outside, when I see you, I will be full of vitality."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "We had Ke'er in a few years. You seemed to be only sixteen years old at that time. Ke'er was born like me, smart and heroic!"
When she heard her husband mention Li Ke, Concubine Yang's heart moved slightly, and then continued without a trace: "In those years, Your Majesty favored me a lot, and then there was an Aner... Many years have passed in a flash, and now both children have grown up, but I am old."
"It's not old, and the charm remains. Oh no, it's even better than the past. It's much more touching and comfortable than those young talented people." Li Shimin laughed, as if he was particularly happy with the different experiences.
Concubine Yang was inevitably shy. After all, she was old and she was a little embarrassed to say this.
"What's wrong? Why are you blushing?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "Where did you get so proactive just now? It's different. Those little girls only know how to please and cater to you. How can they feel like a couple get along?"
Although the topic is more insignificant, Concubine Yang still keenly grasped the keywords of her husband's words. Couples!
The marriage system in ancient China was not polygamy, but monogamy and polygamy. For the emperor, except for the queen who was a wife, even the four concubines who were noble, virtuous and virtuous were just concubines.
Li Shimin now talked about the feeling of getting along with his husband and wife. He just said it casually, but he had any other thoughts? Concubine Yang couldn't help but behaved a little a little faster.
Li Shimin didn't know if he noticed it, and smiled and said, "It's better to be with you... and you're more comfortable. I've neglected you in the past few years."
From this day on, the young concubines selected in the palace were suddenly neglected, and His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have changed his taste. At night, they mainly stayed at some older concubines, including Concubine Wei, Concubine Yan De and Concubine Xiao Yang. After a long drought, the four concubines must not show their glory again.
But the most frequent one was undoubtedly Concubine Yang. She stayed in Concubine Yang's bedroom for more than half of the month, which was almost as favored as Empress Changsun back then.
Concubine Yang is about forty years old, so naturally she was not favored by the king because of her youthful and beautiful appearance. As for the fox charming the master, it is even less important.
His Majesty Li Er is wise and powerful, and will definitely not be confused. He will also come to the palace to manage strictly, so such things will never happen. Concubine Yang was born with a noble family and has been in the palace for many years. His reputation of being virtuous is well known, so it has nothing to do with it.
So, the reason for being favored suddenly seems intriguing. Everyone couldn't help but think that Concubine Yang had two sons, especially King Li Ke of Wu, who was very heroic and loved by His Majesty the Emperor.
