Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 419 Controlling the Six Palaces
Sad days always come to an end.Although sad, as the helm of Datang, Li Shimin didn't have so much time to grieve.

It's just that the grief in my heart is unbearable. I mourned the queen in the court hall and said to the ministers: "The past few years have been full of disasters and conflicts, and there is a lack of good spouses. The torment is not long, and the sorrow continues. All living beings are better than mourning. The preface has been changed repeatedly, and it is overwhelming. Since then, my mind has been in a trance, I forget to eat, and I don’t sleep in the middle of the night.”

In short, it means that there have been many unlucky things in the past few years, and now his wife is gone, and he has become a widower. He can't eat well and can't sleep. He is really sad and uncomfortable.

Because of the rule of "a husband does not sacrifice his wife", Li Shimin couldn't even send his favorite wife to Zhaoling personally.

After Yang Xiaoran heard about it, she also felt sorry for her.

Because Li Shimin promised Li Tai the orb before and took away Wu Yuanhua, I felt a little resentment towards him.But seeing him like this now makes me feel uncomfortable.

After all, this man has always been nice to her!
It's just that she is about to give birth, even if she wants to take care of it, she can't take care of it. She can only ask Li Chengqian to spend more time with Li Er during this period, and it's not the first time she has given birth, so don't worry so much.

Soon it was the end of September, and it was almost time for Yang Xiaoran to give birth.Li E, who is as weak as a cat, is a little guy with tenacious vitality. After two months of feeding, he is completely different from when he was just born. He has grown some flesh and looks a little pleasing to the eye.

Li Chengqian tried to carry his younger brother to show Li Er.But when Li Er saw the child, he remembered that his beloved wife died because of it. He knew that the child was innocent, but he still didn't want to see the child.Hearing that the child is kept in the East Palace, I only asked one sentence, since the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, let the daughter-in-law take it with her.

After speaking, she shed tears again, and said to Li Chengqian: "I am a widower now, what should I do about raising children? Let my daughter-in-law raise her and have the right to be a sister-in-law."

Li Chengqian reluctantly hugged the child back, looking at the fifteenth younger brother who was as weak as a cat, he also felt sad in his heart.

It's pitiful enough, if the father always loathes it like this, how miserable is it?
The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. This is the younger brother born by the mother who risked her life. Since the father doesn't like it, then I will be his father and his brother from now on!
Just when Yang Xiaoran was about to give birth, Li Shimin started to convulse again.

He clearly told Li Chengqian that he couldn't take care of children, but now he took Li Zhi, Sizi and Xincheng to his Ganlu Temple, and they never left each other, becoming a baby daddy.Then people built a layered view in the palace so that they could overlook Zhaoling and express their grief.

Because of this matter, many ministers in the court have opinions.It can be seen that the emperor is really sad. After the empress left, she has not thought about eating and drinking, and is sick. For the time being, the emperor can only let the emperor run amok.

Yang Xiaoran is about to give birth, this is a happy event, which somewhat dilutes some sadness.

It's just that compared to her first delivery, this time it was much more low-key.

The palace people waited on the emperor carefully, for fear of offending him if they were not careful.So this time the production was extremely low-key, and Yang Xiaoran didn't dare to bother Li Er again at this time.

Fortunately, the heavens were beautiful, this time she gave birth very smoothly, and she hardly suffered any pain. After four hours of activation, she gave birth to another pair of twins, two boys.

Li Shimin, who came over after hearing the news, looked at the two children, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been hazy for many days.

The wife is gone, but the dominance will continue.

The prophecy of the Son of the Seven Stars is being fulfilled step by step.Many things were rewarded, and even a small banquet was held, and the palace that had been depressed for many days finally had some festive atmosphere.

The twins named Li Ke and Li Su looked like their older brothers and sisters, very smart.On the spring day of February in the 14th year of Zhenguan, the four-month-old children showed the same talents as their elder brothers and sisters, and they were particularly smart, always different from children of the same age.

With the arrival of his two children, Li Shimin's suffering seems to have been reduced a lot.I often come to see my children, and I often have dinner in the East Palace, and talk to my son and daughter-in-law, but the women in the harem rarely go to, spoil, and get lucky.

It seems that the eldest grandson left and took away Li Er's fancy intestines, and began to concentrate on government affairs again.

And he didn't intend to become a queen anymore. In February, he issued an imperial decree, which shattered all ambitions of a woman who coveted the queen.

The affairs of the Six Palaces are under the control of the Crown Princess, who has full authority to manage the Six Palaces on behalf of the Empress!

The golden seal symbolizing power was sent to Yang Xiaoran.So far, in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, this wild girl in the mountains who has been ridiculed for being hypocritical and uneducated has finally become No. 1 in the harem.

From now on, she will become like the eldest grandson, manage his harem for Li Er, and accept the morning and evening peace of the concubines.

This imperial decree immediately pushed Yang Xiaoran to the forefront.

The Crown Princess is an existence whose status is only second to that of the Empress. Your Majesty's decree seems reasonable, but for the women in the harem, how can they be reconciled? !
Obviously there are imperial concubines, even if there is no imperial concubine, there are still four concubines.Why, let a group of elders go to say hello to a junior?
Yang Xiaoran didn't know what Li Shimin's intention was in doing this.But just like the principle that a country cannot live without a king, this time she wants to be lazy and afraid of trouble.You must bite the bullet and accept the imperial decree, and then start to deal with those troublesome women...

Taking care of children and dealing with concubines is a great challenge for Yang Xiaoran.But fortunately, she is quite a good person on weekdays, and she doesn't hesitate to reward her. These concubines don't like her, but Xiao Huangmen, the maid in the palace, remembers her affection.If there is a trouble or something, he can help out, and after all, nothing will go wrong.

In March, an envoy named Liugui Kingdom came to Chang'an and asked for tribute to the Tang Empire.This unknown small country is [-] miles away from Chang'an, bordering the North Sea (now Lake Baikal) in the north and Mohe in the south. mind.

But we are a country of etiquette, since we want to pay tribute, we must accept it.Ever since, Li Er appointed the envoy named She Zhi as Captain Cavalier and gave him some rewards.

He didn't care much, but Li Chengqian paid attention.

After telling Yang Xiaoran, according to the emissary's description, he immediately sensed that this person might come from the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia in later generations.Listening to Li Chengqian's description of the emissary further confirmed his thoughts.

This man must be put to good use!

Maybe I can be a leading party in the future!
As a Chinese, in fact, he is no different from a Russian bear in his bones.Due to thousands of years of farming civilization, the infinite desire for land has been rooted in the genes.

As soon as my husband said this, I immediately expressed my thoughts.

Li Chengqian thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to have a good communication with that native. Even if he didn't need it now, it might come in handy in the future.

So this envoy named She Zhi was favored by the crown prince, and the reason for his favor made the native feel a little inexplicable.

Invited him to the East Palace, entertained him with good wine and good food, and even sent him some beauties, but what he was asked to do was to draw a map.It's a pity that Liugui Country doesn't even have words, it's just an indigenous tribe, how can they understand this?Moreover, the language was difficult, and his Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty was also very rough, and it took several people to re-translate it to barely understand it. (The re-translation of Lai Dynasty is the highest state pursued by ancient emperors. It requires multiple translations, which is several grades higher than Siyi Lai Dynasty. It is the highest expression of Wenzhiwugong.)
After figuring out the crown prince's intentions, the envoy of Liugui Kingdom spent several nights and finally drew a picture.Just looking at the Crown Prince's face, he was obviously not very satisfied.

But there is no way to be dissatisfied, his level is only like this.After many days of communication, Li Chengqian made changes on the map, compared with the world map, and finally figured out the approximate location of Liugui Country.

Well, it's a good position, this person is worth taking advantage of.

The already cunning crown prince has become more and more blackened after he learned about the historical trend of later generations and his horizons were greatly broadened.For him, what is benevolence and righteousness?The Chinese died on this.While we are still the largest country in the world, we can occupy more land if we can.To put it bluntly, the place is big, even if the future generations don't live up to it, they can still struggle for a while, right?

After getting what he wanted, he politely gave a bunch of rewards and sent the envoy away. Li Chengqian looked at the map in his hand and smiled.

It seems like my wife said, the people from that place will take advantage of us the most in future generations?Regardless of whether they are an ancestor or not, I will spit it out after eating Lao Tzu's.I'm sorry, not only do I have to spit it out, but if you have it, we'll take it away without hesitation.

Who let me know the direction of history?
Touching his chin, Li Chengqian smiled inexplicably and grimly as he watched the aborigine's back going away.

Under that vast ice sheet, I heard that there are many good things?You don't need it now, but you can use it later.They are just some tribes, what kind of country does not belong to the country, now that they have paid tribute and proclaimed their vassals, why not just be my Huaxia people in the future!
Seeing the crown prince's mysterious smile, a group of palace people shuddered.

Except for the crown princess, the lord is almost unsmiling.But now he looked at the back of a barbarian and smiled, but it made people feel no warmth.I just feel that this smile is weird and full of calculations, which makes people tremble with fear.

It's killing me!
Right now, the Son of Heaven is also acting weird, and His Highness is not normal anymore. Is there any way for them to survive?

After laughing for a while, he turned and went back to Cheng'en Hall, watching his wife feeding the two children.The fifteenth brother, who is seven months old, already knows how to crawl, and is currently crawling happily in the paradise where several cute babies once stayed.The three little ghosts who were already four years old were also inside, unscrupulously looking for their Uncle Fifteen's happiness.

Li Lian laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she was playing with Li E with a tiger head puppet.Li E is a baby, how did he know that his niece is so insidious at a young age?Crawling to get the tiger's head, Li Lian pulled it away again, and said with a smile, "Haha, Uncle Fifteen, you've been fooled again. You're so stupid, you're so stupid, you're not as smart as my brother!"
