Man Tanghong

Chapter 640 The Turks Are Coming!
Li Yuanji whispered comforting words and great principles, but Yang Miaoyan just didn't listen, and continued to complain angrily.

Li Yuanji kept complaining until the evening, when Li Yuanji coaxed the big belly woman well.

In the following days, apart from going to the Zhaode Hall every day to meet officials and deal with various tedious government affairs, Li Yuanji stayed in the Wude Hall to accompany Yang Miaoyan most of the time.

Accompanied Yang Miaoyan to see all the mountains and rivers in Taiji Palace, accompanied Yang Miaoyan to see all kinds of palaces in the palace, and accompanied Yang Miaoyan to the East Palace and Chengqing Palace, and visited Li Chengde and Li Lihua who were just born.

Li Chengde is the third son of Li Jiancheng. After one of the first two sons died young and the other was killed by Li Shimin, Li Chengde became Li Jiancheng's eldest son.

Li Yuan doted on him very much, and would go to the East Palace to see him almost every day, and when he was just full moon, he decreed to make him the King of Hedong County and eat two thousand households.

In this regard, Li Yuanji did not stop him, but happily stamped the imperial edict that Li Yuan canonized him.

After both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were imprisoned, Li Yuan's love for them needed a new sustenance, and his grandson was the best sustenance.

If Li Yuan is prevented from showing love to his grandson, Li Yuan will have problems.

So in this kind of matter, Li Yuanji would do nothing to stop it.

Li Lihua is the second daughter of Li Shimin, and the eldest daughter is Li Lizhi who can already walk.

For Li Lihua, a newborn baby, Li Yuanji was deeply baffled.

Because there is no such person in history, and Li Shimin does not have this daughter.

According to historical records, Li Shimin's first daughter should be Princess Chengyang, not Li Lihua who was just named Lord of Shangyi County.

Li Yuanji didn't know whether it was his own appearance that changed the fate of Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, causing them to have an extra daughter, or whether there was such a person in history, but it was not recorded because he died too early. Or it was involved in some deep palace secrets, and all traces were erased.

Anyway, such a little guy who has not been recorded in history just appeared so abruptly.

Although his mother doesn't like it, and he can't see his father, Yang Miaoyan likes it very much, because when Yang Miaoyan hugged this little guy, he kept giggling at Yang Miaoyan, which made Yang Miaoyan keep saying that this little guy was destined for her, He secretly said that he would take him back to raise him, but Li Yuanji ruthlessly rejected him.

It is not allowed to do such things as seizing the heirs of people, especially the matter of seizing the heirs of brothers.

Although she is just an unfavorable daughter, she is also Li Shi's daughter.

The father and mother are not dead yet, so they don't need to be sent to other people's homes for foster care.

Robbery is not only inhumane, it will also be criticized by others, and if it is serious, it will be condemned verbally and in writing.

Yang Miaoyan was indignant about this, and argued confidently that such a cute little guy would definitely be ruined in the hands of the eldest grandson who didn't value her or love her very much. The cute little guy is white and fat.

Li Yuanji kept explaining to her that seizing children should not be done, it would be inhumane and would be condemned by the government and the public.

But Yang Miaoyan just didn't listen, and even got petty.

Li Yuanji couldn't afford to offend a woman with a lot of money in her belly, so she had to bring Wang Ruan to help her persuade her.

After Wang Ruan swore that he would give birth to a little girl as beautiful as Li Lihua and give Yang Miaoyan to raise him, Yang Miaoyan died down.

It was also at this moment that Li Yuanji saw Yang Miaoyan's careful thinking.

Yang Miaoyan wanted to raise Li Lihua. Yang Miaoyan was afraid that if he gave birth to a daughter and Wang Ruan gave birth to a son, his status would be threatened, so he found an excuse to force Wang Ruan to express his position, saying that he was born. The children will be raised by her so that she can occupy the title of eldest mother.

In the past, Yang Miaoyan didn't need to do this, because Li Yuanji was just the king of Qi at that time, and when other women in the Qi palace gave birth to heirs, they would naturally send them to her, recognize her as the eldest mother, and let her raise them.

It is different now, although he is still the king of Qi, he controls all the authority of the Tang Dynasty. He does not have the name of an emperor, but he has the power of an emperor, and he is getting closer to the emperor in all aspects.

Although the children born to the emperor's concubines will also recognize the queen as the eldest mother, but it is just a title, and they will not be sent to the queen to be raised by the queen herself. The queen is not so free.

So Yang Miaoyan subconsciously took precautions against Wang Ruan, lest Wang Ruan's latecomers would take his place.

After all, in this era that values ​​the passing of the torch and the inheritance of children, no matter how prominent the family background is, if there is no son, it must give way to the woman who gave birth to the son.

Therefore, Yang Miaoyan has a sense of crisis and is on guard against Wang Ruan, which is also reasonable.

Li Yuanji didn't think too much about it, and didn't plan to care about it.

Because it is this era that has changed women into what they are, and if the era cannot be changed, this kind of thing is simply not easy to manage, and it cannot be managed.

Once self-righteousness gets involved, it is very likely that you will be unlucky in the end.

Li Yuanji didn't want to be caught between Yang Miaoyan and Wang Ruan, and he didn't want to make it difficult for a child born in the future to be caught between the eldest mother and the biological mother, so he just didn't care about anything and let Yang Miaoyan and Wang Ruan follow the rules of this era. way to solve the problem.

On this kind of issue, stay out of it, and when necessary, you can end up reconciling.

If you get involved in it, what is necessary is that there is no way to reconcile if you want to reconcile, and you can only watch things get worse and worse.

Just like the relationship between Datang and Turkic, because there is no powerful third party to mediate, the more it develops, the worse it gets.

Therefore, after the Turkic envoys were robbed and killed in the territory of Datang, the Turkic army pressed on the border of Datang without hesitation.

In mid-September.

Li Shiji and Li Shenfu, guarding the front line of Shizhou and Weizeguan, respectively reported that they had found the traces of the Turkic scouts and that the Turkic people had come.

Li Yuanji immediately ordered Li Xiaogong to lead the army to several important gates where the Turks were most likely to appear, and asked Li Xiaogong to redo the deployment for each gate according to the enemy situation detected by the scouts.

At the same time, Li Yuanji sent an order to Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan to force Hongnong Yang to make a decision as soon as possible. Once Hongnong Yang made a decision, he would immediately end the war in Zhaozhou. Ready to rush to Shizhou for help.

After the order was passed to Zhaozhou, Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered people to start driving Yang's people out.

Yang's people finally couldn't sit still, and finally made a decision.

September twenty.

Yang Shidao reappeared in Taiji Palace, with a little more resentment than before.

However, Li Yuanji didn't care, you used a knife to force people to bleed, it would be strange if they didn't complain.

"Your Highness, I have already discussed with the elders and brothers in the clan. We are willing to offer 30 shi of grain in exchange for the remaining family property of the Li family in Zhaozhou from Your Highness."

When Yang Shidao arrived at the Hall of Martial Virtue, after a simple salute, he didn't exchange greetings, and explained his purpose in a low voice.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Shidao's weathered face and asked, "Have you been running around Chang'an and Hongnong these days?"

Yang Shidao froze for a moment, then nodded silently.

In order to give Li Yuanji an answer as soon as possible, he has indeed been running around in Chang'an and Hongnu, but the attitude of the elders and brothers in the clan is a bit tough. I always feel that Li Yuanji is just talking casually, and I always feel that with Yang Miaoyan, Li Yuanji is impossible. It is impossible to use force with them, so I have been dragging it until now.

It wasn't until Li Yuanji really started to use his strength that the elders and brothers in his clan realized that Li Yuanji really wasn't just talking casually.

When they were angry, they had no choice but to bow their heads to Li Yuanji.

Only 30 shi of grain may not be able to satisfy Li Yuanji's appetite.

"Seeing that your face is weathered and tired, you must be tired too, so go back to your residence and have a good rest. We'll talk again when you're done resting."

Li Yuanji said with a concerned face.

Yang Shidao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you have time to wait, but the minister and his clansmen have no time to wait. If you wait any longer, your subordinates will drive them all out of Zhaozhou."

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "If you are expelled, you will be expelled, and no one will die. You just send people in after Su Dingfang and the others leave."

Yang Shidao looked bitter.

It would be great if things were as easy as Li Yuanji said.

This entry and exit seems simple, and it seems that no one will die, but between this entry and exit, what is missed is the opportunity, and what is missed is the family business of the Li family in Zhaozhou.

Several other aristocratic families in Hebei have long been concerned about the Li family business in Zhaozhou.

It's just that Su Dingfang, Yin Kaishan and others are wreaking havoc in Zhaozhou, so it's not easy to go in directly, and they can only eat away some of Zhaozhou's scattered family businesses outside Zhaozhou.

Once Su Dingfang, Yin Kaishan and others left, several families would swarm up and swallow up the family property left by the Li family in Zhaozhou.

Because Yang has an agreement with Li Yuanji, he can enter Zhaozhou first and seize the opportunity.

Once Yang's people are kicked out, the opportunity will be gone.

When the time comes to compete fairly with the other aristocratic families in Hebei, it is impossible for them to be opponents.

They are tigers sitting on the ground, but they are not dragons crossing the river. At best, they are just reversing tigers. If they fight with others on their territory, it is impossible to win.

At that time, not only will the many benefits occupied in the early stage have to be vomited, but there may also be countless favors and money.

Competing with other aristocratic families in Hebei Province not only depends on connections, relationships, and background, but also depends on money.

The most important thing is that at the end of the trouble, you still have to pay a lot of money to ask Mrs. Li to come forward to reconcile.

Given their family backgrounds, if there really was a big trouble, and they didn't want to be caught dead, they could only ask Mrs. Li to come forward to mediate, and only Mrs. Li was qualified to mediate.

With Li Yuanji's gluttonous temperament, he will ask for more at that time.
