Great Tang princess

Chapter 836 Li Chongrun's Promotion

For Li Xian, the emperor, New Year's Eve is a little different from last year.

This year, my mother came back, and so did my brothers and sisters. At the same time, my own children and nephews were by my side.

That's right, with Li Yuechen's permission, this year Li Shouli and Li Longji also came back for the New Year.

It's a pity that Li Shouyi is now stationed at Kurt's side, and there is no way to come back in recent years.

But even so, Li Xian, as a father, still feels very happy.

Li Dan was equally happy to see his sons coming back, and kept pulling them to ask how they were doing in different military regions.

Because living in different environments will always produce different differences.

But compared to their parents' concern, these children's attention is actually on the phone and the car.

They surrounded Li Yuechen and kept asking about the principles of the phone and the car, as well as other things that were being produced intensely.

Li Longji, who was the most courageous, even ran up to Li Xian: "Uncle, how about asking your nephew to make a phone call?"

"Huh? Where do you want to call?" Li Xian asked with a smile.

Li Longji thought about it carefully. Now that all departments are on holiday, it seems that there is really no place to fight.

These days, it's really a holiday to say that it's a holiday, and the six ministries in the three provinces don't even have a single person on duty.

After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Yes, tomorrow I will go to the Princess Mansion and use my aunt's phone to call my uncle!"

"Bastard! How can you use this thing for entertainment?" Li Dan immediately taught him a lesson.

"Hey, it doesn't matter. Let them play!" Li Xian didn't care.

But at this time Li Chongrun said: "Okay, if you want to play, you can play it for me in the East Palace tomorrow, and I will chat with you."

"Well, that's fine!" Li Longji nodded.

He just wanted to make a phone call, and it didn't matter who he called.

Since the crown prince said that he could go to the East Palace, then he should go to the East Palace.

Others were asking about the car, including motorcycles and airplanes that were planned but not yet made.

Li Qiule looked longingly: "Auntie, the plane is finished, can you let me drive it?"

"Oh? Want to be a pilot? Tell me why?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

"Well, when there is another war, I will fly a plane to throw grenades on the enemy's head..." Li Qiule replied firmly.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled, feeling that this little girl had a violent factor in her bones.

And the other kids clamored to fly.

"Flying a plane is not that simple. Only after overload training can one become a pilot!" Li Yuechen explained to them with a smile.

Although it is said that even if an airplane is made in this era, it may not be as good as an ordinary airplane in the future.

But people who fly on the plane can say that the pilot must be trained to carry overload.

For drivers, this should be a must-have skill.

However, training in this era will be a little easier. After all, as long as the speed does not exceed [-] kilometers per hour, it will generally not exceed two Gs.

Therefore, before the emergence of pure fighter jets, pilot training in this era was relatively simple.

But not everyone is interested in airplanes. Li Longji wants to figure out the problem with the phone more than the airplane.

"Auntie, since the call distance is [-] kilometers now, can it be extended again in the future?" Li Longji sat in front of her and asked, "For example, I can call Dongdu directly when I am in Qingdao..."

"Then leave it to you to study, I can't do it..." Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

After all, she went to a sports university, and now all of these are made by relying on the physics knowledge of junior high school and high school.

I don't know how to make real electronic diodes and the like, so I can only let future generations slowly study them.

At present, the so-called electronic signal amplifier in this phone is mainly made of copper.

So being able to extend the phone call distance to seventeen kilometers is already the limit.

Of course, in theory, it may be possible to add a few more attempts, but even if it can be done, there is no way to do so.

Because it contains not only copper, but also gold, and the cost is terribly high.

There is no way to use gold. After all, in this era, there is no better conductivity than gold.

Every time I think of this, Li Yuechen feels a little heartache. After all, this seemingly convenient phone call is all made of money!
……

But having said that, the emergence of actual products can also stimulate the creativity of more young people.

For example, Pei Bishu developed a vacuum pump because of the blueprint of the aircraft compressor he designed. This is a major breakthrough.

So Li Yuechen discussed with his elder brother two months ago, to promote him to the rank of lieutenant general, plus a first-class meritorious service, which can be regarded as a glorious lintel.

The whole family was chatting and eating together. After retiring, Wu Zetian didn't have the slightest majesty of an emperor. He was smiling when his grandchildren came to pay their respects.

Overall, the atmosphere was very good, especially for the young juniors present to personally experience the daily life of the emperor and the others when they were young.

After the meal, the adults chatted next to each other, and the juniors also gathered to play.

Li Longji and others surrounded the Crown Princess Lu Yao, greeting with concern.

The main reason is that her stomach is already very big now, and it has been almost seven months, which is quite obvious.

As her husband, Li Chongrun took good care of her, keeping her in a particularly good state both physically and emotionally.

So she didn't let the younger brothers and sisters who came around pester her for too long, and took them away after chatting a few words.

Li Longji couldn't help raising his hand and elbowed him twice: "His Royal Highness is really considerate to the princess."

"Hmph, what do you know? This is my experience from asking my aunt!" Li Chongrun replied with a smile.

While speaking, he couldn't help but recall what Li Yuechen told him a few months ago.

"Run'er, remember. Pregnancy is a very important stage for women. If you don't do well during pregnancy, she will really remember you forever! So it doesn't matter if you make her angry on weekdays, you must treat her like a mother during pregnancy Come and see!"

Li Chongrun, who adores his aunt, will naturally regard her words as the standard. Since Lu Yao became pregnant, he really almost treats her like a real mother.

This made many of Lu Yao's girlfriends and friends deeply envious.

It's fine to marry the prince, but to be so favored, it's really a fantasy reflected in reality.

Li Xianhui also nodded at the side: "Brother, then Hou Chao is your old subordinate, you should teach him more about this!"

"What? It's him who decided?" Li Chongrun asked.

Hearing his brother's question, Li Xianhui nodded slightly: "Well, there are not many suitable people in the army, and others are good, and I don't care about marrying into the royal family, so let him be!"

Although the royal family system has changed a lot now, some things will not change.

In the past, the princess of the royal family was not called married, but born!After all, the so-called son-in-law was originally married into the royal family.

Li Yuechen didn't change this point, so if Hou Chao wanted to be with Li Xianhui, he could only marry into the royal family.

This is something that can't be helped, after all, now that the royal family has become like this, the rules will naturally be much stricter than before.

Especially in the case of the responsibility of being a royal family, this kind of thing is always unavoidable.

Hou Chao chose to be with Li Xianhui because he had to face a lot of psychological pressure.

He married into the royal family and married the princess of the royal family, so he would not have the option to retire from the army in his life, and he would stay in the army until his death.

Moreover, the future children will also have the mother's surname Li, but they will also be regarded as children of the royal family and enjoy all the treatment that children of the royal family should have.

Li Yuechen also knew that doing this seemed a bit too much, but the royal family itself was very special, since he chose to marry into the royal family, it meant that he had already made psychological preparations for this.

But in any case, Hou Chao is still willing to be with Li Xianhui after knowing these conditions, at least he can be sure that it is true love.

Not to mention the many benefits of marrying into the royal family, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in your future life... The premise is that you can live a good life without getting divorced.

Knowing that his sister also had a home, Li Chongrun nodded in relief, and then asked Li Longji who was eating melons beside him: "I heard that your two elder brothers are currently interested in someone, how about you?"

"Me? I'm not in a hurry!" Li Longji shook his head, "I haven't met anyone who can make my heart flutter."

"The year is over now, are you 20 years old? My aunt once said that if I can't find it at the age of 20, then the elders will have to intervene!" Li Chongrun reminded.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not interested in women anyway." Li Longji waved his hand helplessly.

This sounds a little misunderstanding, but Li Chongrun is very clear.

When he said he was not interested in women, he didn't mean that he liked men.It's just that he doesn't enjoy chatting or interacting with women at all.

In his opinion, women are used to get married and have children. He himself doesn't like the process of getting to know each other and falling in love.

"You, it's better not to be so boring in this aspect, or you will become the first child of the royal family to be separated in the future..." Li Chongrun patted him on the shoulder and advised him softly.

Even if there was no such variable as Li Yuechen, in the original Tang Dynasty, divorce was not a rare event.

Not to mention that Li Yuechen has made the social atmosphere much more liberal and open than before. Divorce or something...isn't too normal.

Li Longji still didn't care much, anyway, he just listened to his parents about this kind of thing, and he didn't bother to look for it.

……

While the children were chatting, Li Yuechen came over: "What are you all talking about here?"

"Auntie!" The children greeted one after another.

"I didn't talk about anything, I just said that the age is almost the same, it's time to get married..." Li Chongrun smiled.

"Age..."

Li Yuechen sat down next to him, leaned on the chair and was stunned. Speaking of which, he was also 40 years old, and before he knew it, time passed so fast!

Then he looked at Li Chongrun and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Chongrun looked confused.

"Didn't I say at the beginning that after the new year, I will let you take over the position of minister of the Ministry of War? Forgot?" Li Yuechen asked.

"This... In fact, my nephew thinks that my aunt can continue..."

"Farewell, it's your turn, it's your turn!" Li Yuechen smiled, "Remember, you are the crown prince, and you have more responsibilities than ordinary people. There is no way to escape this!"

Seeing her serious expression, Li Chongrun nodded: "Yes! Nephew understands!"

"Don't worry, you can come and ask me if you are not familiar with it at first." Li Yuechen comforted him with a smile.

Li Chongrun nodded, indicating that he understood.

……

As soon as the child's time passed, the family celebrated the arrival of the New Year with each other in Jixian Temple.

Considering that his mother was getting old, Li Yuechen didn't let her stay too late, and sent her back to Shangyang Palace as soon as the midnight passed.

Of course, I still sit in my own car, which is much warmer than a carriage.

When they arrived at Shangyang Palace, Li Yuechen got out of the car and opened the car door for his mother, letting her get out.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, Wu Zetian coughed slightly after getting off the car.

"The weather is too cold, go in quickly, Aniang!" Li Yuechen pulled her into the hall.

Zhang Chengxin also hurried in, urging several middle-aged eunuchs to light the brazier.

After entering the hall, Li Yuechen planned to sit down and chat with her, but was rejected.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to rest earlier." Wu Zetian waved his hand.

"Yes, Ma'am also go to bed early." Li Yuechen agreed and was about to leave.

At this time, Wu Zetian suddenly spoke again: "Chen'er, is the current appearance of Tang Dynasty the same as you expected?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen stood in the same place, after thinking for a while, he turned around and replied: "It's not the same, many problems can't be solved, and we can only take a compromise... The time is also later than I imagined. Quite a few..."

"I see." Wu Zetian nodded, then waved his hand: "Okay, let's go back and rest."

Li Yuechen didn't know why his mother asked this suddenly, and then agreed to go back first.

It felt like she wanted to ask something, but it seemed that she hadn't made up her mind yet.

……

Now that the newspaper has been changed to a seven-day period, it stands to reason that another period should be published on the seventh day of the lunar new year.

But because the seventh day of the first lunar month is still a holiday, and I don’t go to work until the eighth day, so the second newspaper of the new year is issued on the eighth day.

It mainly records the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the position of Minister of Military Affairs.

At the same time, Li Xian in the court hall also announced the news.

The ministers didn't have any special reaction. Princess Taiping just resigned as Minister of the Ministry of War, but she is still the Grand Marshal of the World.

In the end, this is just paving the way for the prince, not that he quit. For these ministers, the only difference from before is that there is an extra opportunity to get close to the prince.

After all, Ministers of the Ministry of War have to attend cabinet meetings frequently, and they can communicate with the prince face to face.

Other than that, the news had no other effect on them...at least not at all.

The bad ones are not necessarily the case. After all, this prince came from the grassroots all the way. After becoming the emperor, it is indeed not easy to fool around.

So it's better to think of a way to establish a good relationship while in the cabinet.
