"Judging from this light, there should be quite a few more people in the harem, right?"
Li Xiang walked on the square in front of the Qinzheng Hall and looked up at the harem. Sure enough, the sky was much brighter. This yellow light was definitely created by artificial flames.
"In reply to Your Highness, there are now many more beauties in the harem who have come from all over the country as tribute. There are also many more descendants of the emperor in the palace."
After hearing what Wang De said, Li Xiang also understood why Li Shimin wanted to promote Chai Lingwu. It was mainly because there were too many princes and grandchildren of the emperor. Some of them had not yet witnessed the horror of court struggles, so these people might have other ideas in their minds, especially the little princes and grandchildren in the palace. Although they seemed harmless now, they might very likely become Li Xiang's enemies in the future.
Taking advantage of the Chai Lingwu incident, all the princes and grandchildren from all over the country were called back to let all the unstable factors come out. At the same time, it also let these little princes and princesses in the palace see that if they intervene in the battle for the throne without authorization, they must be prepared to lose their heads. Although their status is noble, as long as they are involved in this matter, they will not be able to save their heads.
But if you can behave yourself, you will have a good life in the future. At least you will not lose your head because of this incident, and your life will be much better than that of most people in the country. What choices you make when you grow up is your own business. Li Shimin will only be responsible for putting the worst side in front of them, hoping to remind all the princes and grandchildren so that they will never forget this scene.
Grandfather has good intentions!
When leaving the palace, Li Xiang really admired this old man. He founded the Tang Dynasty in his early years, pushed it to its climax in his middle age, and now he has to appease his children and grandchildren. He really has no peace in his life. Of course, Li Xiang did a good job. If it weren't for his conquests, how could the Tang Dynasty be so prosperous today?
"Keep an eye on Chai Lingwu, activate the highest-ranking personnel, and don't let go of any trace. Try to avoid the emperor's people if you see them."
Although Li Xiang drank a lot of wine, his alcohol tolerance was still fine. Li Xiang also believed that Li Shimin was not really drunk. After the two supreme rulers of the Tang Dynasty exchanged opinions, this scene in the future was already confirmed, but Li Xiang still had to observe closely and collect all the information, as any piece of information might affect his judgment.
The two guards disappeared into the darkness. They conveyed orders to their men. Chai Lingwu was a top figure in Chang'an City. He had quite a few men under him, but there was a huge gap between his men and Li Xiang's. It was too easy for Li Xiang to know his every move.
Li Xiang had his own idea for giving this special order, which was to prevent his men from running into the emperor's men in black. If they did run into them, although Li Xiang had nothing to be afraid of, it would still be a bit embarrassing.
The convoy slowly returned to the General Tiance's Mansion. When Li Xiang passed by the East Palace, he wanted to go and see his father, but Qian Ping came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already rested. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been forcing himself to meet Li Xiang, but after taking the medicine at night, he really couldn't hold on any longer, so he asked Li Xiang to come after the morning court tomorrow.
When he left last time, Li Chengqian was still in good health. Li Xiang was a little puzzled. Could it be that some small-time people wanted to cause trouble? For example, put some poison or something like that, but he quickly shook his head.
Li Chengqian was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Unless Li Shimin wanted him dead, no one would do anything about this matter. Moreover, such a long time had passed. If Li Shimin suspected this matter, all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital might have been beheaded.
So there is only one result of this matter, that is, there is really a problem with Li Chengqian's body, and with the current medical conditions, there is no way to treat it. As the prince of the Tang Empire, the medical conditions in the country are the best. Under the careful care of these people, Li Chengqian's condition is still slowly developing, which means that it has exceeded the medical level of this period.
"Your Highness."
Arriving at the residence of General Tiance, a dozen women, led by Crown Princess Cheng Luan, stood there. No matter how late it was, as long as Li Xiang returned to Chang'an, they had to wait here obediently. Of course, they did not need to do this every day, but only on the most important days.
Li Xiang saw that the little guys were also trying hard to hold on. The time was not short now. The fact that they could wait until this time meant that the little guys were almost at their limit. It seemed that when he left Chang'an, there were a lot more children.
If it were the 21st century, the birth of any child would be a very important thing for Li Xiang, but in this era, there are more than a dozen women alone. If you care about children, then you probably have the chance to become a father every month.
"It's getting late. It's time to go back. Tomorrow afternoon, I will personally examine your homework, and if you fail, you will be sent to the South City Military Camp."
Li Xiang never relaxed when it came to his children's education. If any of his children were dissolute, Li Xiang would educate them with the harshest means. So after hearing what their father said, these children did show fear on their faces. They thought they were going to have a holiday to rest, but they didn't expect their father to attach so much importance to them.
This also made the women around feel relieved. His Highness once said that there was no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children when it came to educating them, and it seemed to be true now.
"Father, do the daughters want some too?"
Li Xiang’s eldest daughter, Princess Tiance, said with a bitter face that this was also Li Xiang’s eldest daughter.
After moving to the General Tiance's Mansion, Li Shimin gave her this title, which was the most honorable among all his daughters.
"As their eldest sister, you naturally have to be the first in line. I don't care who is in my arms, but as long as they can understand what I say, everyone must learn to read and write. No uneducated person can leave this mansion."
Li Xiang is very attached to his first child. Although he is only four years old, he has already started his enlightenment, so he has to demand some things from him. Otherwise, he will not understand and may easily become a playboy in the future.
