Li Yuanji whispered comforting words and talked about great principles, but Yang Miaoyan refused to listen and continued to complain angrily.
After complaining until the evening, Li Yuanji coaxed the big-bellied woman to peace.
In the days that followed, in addition to going to the Zhaode Hall every day to eat, meet with officials, and handle various tedious government affairs, Li Yuanji spent most of his time staying in the Wude Hall to accompany Yang Miaoyan.

I accompanied Yang Miaoyan to see all the landscapes in the Tai Chi Palace, and accompanied Yang Miaoyan to see all the palaces in the palace. I also accompanied Yang Miaoyan to the East Palace and Chengqing Palace, and visited the newly born Li Chengde and Li Lihua.
Li Chengde was Li Jiancheng's third son. 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 loved him very much and would rush to the East Palace to see him almost every day. When he was just one month old, he decreed that he be made the King of Hedong County and feed two thousand households.
In this regard, Li Yuanji did not stop him, but happily stamped his seal on Li Yuan's edict conferring him.
After Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were both 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 Li Yuanji would do nothing to stop this kind of thing.
Li Lihua is the second daughter of Li Shimin, and the eldest daughter is Li Lizhi, who can already walk.
Li Yuanji felt deeply baffled by Li Lihua, a newly born little guy.
Because there was no such figure in history, and Li Shimin did not have such a daughter.
According to historical records, Li Shimin's legitimate second daughter should be Princess Chengyang, not Li Lihua, who was just named the head of Shangyi County.
Li Yuanji didn't know if his appearance changed the fate of Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, causing them to have an extra daughter, or if there was already such a figure in history, but because he died too early, he was not recorded, and
Or maybe it was involved in some deep palace secrets, and all traces were erased.
Anyway, such a little guy who has no record in history appeared so suddenly.
Although her mother doesn't like her and she can't see her father, Yang Miaoyan likes this little guy very much because when Yang Miaoyan hugged her, she kept giggling at Yang Miaoyan, which made Yang Miaoyan keep saying that this little guy was destined to her.
Secretly, he also said that he would take her back to raise her, but was ruthlessly rejected by Li Yuanji.
You should not do things like kidnapping a person’s children, especially your brothers’ children.
Although she is just a daughter who is not favored, she is also Li's daughter.
The father and mother are not dead yet, so there is no need to send them to other people's homes for foster care.
If you take it by force, it will not only be unkind, but it will also be criticized by others. If it is serious, you will be criticized verbally and writtenly.
Yang Miaoyan was indignant about this and argued righteously that such a cute little guy would definitely be ruined if placed in the hands of her eldest grandson who didn't value her and didn't love her. It would be better to leave it to her to raise, as she would definitely be able to take care of her.
The cute little guy is white and fat.
Li Yuanji kept explaining to her that she could not do anything to steal a man's heir, as it would be unkind and would result in verbal and written criticism from both the government and the public.
But Yang Miaoyan refused to listen and even got a little angry.
Li Yuanji couldn't afford to offend a woman who had a lot of money in her belly, so she had no choice but to recruit Wang Ruan to help dissuade her.
After Wang Ruan swore that he would give birth to a little girl as beautiful as Li Lihua and give it to Yang Miaoyan to raise, Yang Miaoyan stopped.
It was also at this moment that Li Yuanji saw Yang Miaoyan's little thoughts.
Yang Miaoyan wanted to raise Li Lihua. Yang Miaoyan was afraid that if she gave birth to a daughter and Wang Ruan gave birth to a son, her status would be threatened, so she found an excuse to force Wang Ruan and asked Wang Ruan to take the initiative to express his position and say that the birth was
The children will be raised for her so that she can take advantage of her status as a eldest mother.
In the past, Yang Miaoyan did not need to be like this, because at that time he, Li Yuanji, was just the Prince of Qi. When other women in Prince Qi's palace gave birth to children, they would naturally be brought to her and recognized as their eldest mother, and she would raise them.
It's different now. Although he is still the King of Qi, he controls all the power of the Tang Dynasty. He does not have the title of emperor, but he has the power of the emperor. He is also moving closer to the emperor in all aspects.
Although the children born to the emperor's concubines will recognize the queen as their eldest mother, it is just a name and will not be actually sent to the queen to be raised by the queen herself. The queen is not that free.
Therefore, Yang Miaoyan subconsciously guarded against Wang Ruan, lest Wang Ruan would come up and take his place.
After all, in this era that attaches great importance to passing on the fire from generation to generation and the inheritance of children, no matter how prominent the family is, if they cannot give birth to a son, they have to make way for the woman who gave birth to a son.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Yang Miaoyan to have a sense of crisis and be wary of Wang Ruan.
Li Yuanji didn't have much opinion on this and didn't intend to care.
Because it is this era that has turned women into what they are. If the era cannot be changed, this kind of thing is simply not easy to control and cannot be managed.
Once self-righteousness gets involved, you will most likely be the unlucky one in the end.
Li Yuanji didn't want to be trapped between Yang Miaoyan and Wang Ruan, nor did he want the children born in the future to be trapped between the eldest mother and the biological mother, so he simply ignored everything and let Yang Miaoyan and Wang Ruan live according to this era.
way to solve the problem.
On this kind of issue, you can stay out of it and mediate when necessary.
If you get mixed up in it, it is necessary that you cannot reconcile it even if you want to, and you can only watch things develop and get worse.
Just like the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, it got worse as it developed because there was no strong third party to mediate it.
Therefore, after the Turkic envoys were robbed and killed in the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic army pressed on the border of the Tang Dynasty without hesitation.
In mid-September.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shiji and Li Shenfu, who were guarding the front lines of Shizhou and Weizeguan, came to report respectively, saying that they had discovered traces of Turkic scouts and that the Turks were coming.
Li Yuanji immediately ordered Li Xiaogong to lead his troops to several important passes where the Turks were most likely to appear, and asked Li Xiaogong to redo arrangements for each pass based on the enemy situation detected by the scouts.
At the same time, Li Yuanji sent an order to Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan, asking them to force the Hongnong Yang family again and let the Hongnong Yang family make a decision as soon as possible. Once the Hongnong Yang family made a decision, they would immediately end the war in Zhaozhou.
Prepare to rush to Shizhou for frontline assistance.
After the order was sent to Zhaozhou, Su Dingfang and Yin Kaishan did not hesitate and immediately ordered people to start driving Yang's people out.
The Yang family finally couldn't sit still and finally made a decision.
September 20th.
Yang Shidao appeared in the Tai Chi Palace again, with more resentment than before.
However, Li Yuanji didn't care. You took a knife and forced people to bleed. It would be strange if they didn't have any resentment.
"Your Highness, I have already discussed with the elders and brothers of the clan. We are willing to pay 300,000 shi of grain as a price in exchange for the remaining family property of the Zhaozhou Li family."
When Yang Shidao arrived at the Wude Hall, after a simple salute, he did not exchange greetings, but made a loud sound and explained his purpose.
Li Yuanji looked at Yang Shidao's weathered face and said, "Have you been traveling to Chang'an and Hongnong these days?"
Yang Shidao was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.
In order to give Li Yuanji an answer as soon as possible, he has indeed been running around Chang'an and Hongnu. However, the elders and brothers in the clan have a somewhat tough attitude. They always feel that Li Yuanji is just talking casually. He always feels that with Yang Miaoyan around, Li Yuanji cannot possibly
Even if we break up with them, we can't use force against them, so we have been putting it off until now.
It wasn't until Li Yuanji really started to use force that the elders and brothers in his clan realized that Li Yuanji really wasn't just talking casually.
In anger, they had to bow to Li Yuanji.
Just 300,000 shi of grain may not satisfy Li Yuanji's appetite.
"Looking at your weathered face and showing signs of fatigue, you must be tired, so go back home and have a good rest. We will talk again after you have rested."
Li Yuanji said with concern.
Yang Shidao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you have time to wait, but Chen and Chen's tribe don't have time to wait. If we wait any longer, your people will expel them all from Zhaozhou."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "If you expel them, expel them, and no one will die. Just wait until Su Dingfang and others leave, and then send people in."
Yang Shidao looked bitter.
It would be nice if things were as easy as Li Yuanji said.
This process of going in and out seems simple, and it seems that no one will die, but between this process, what is missed is an opportunity, and what is missed is the family business of the Zhaozhou Li family.
Several other aristocratic families in Hebei have long been concerned about the family business of the Zhaozhou Li family.
It's just that because Su Dingfang, Yin Kaishan and others are wreaking havoc in Zhaozhou, it's not possible to go in directly. They can only eat away some of the scattered family property of the Zhaozhou Li family outside Zhaozhou.
Once Su Dingfang, Yin Kaishan and others leave, several aristocratic families will swarm in and devour all the family property left by the Zhaozhou Li family.
Because Yang had an agreement with Li Yuanji, he could enter Zhaozhou first and seize the opportunity.
Once Yang's people are driven out, this opportunity will be gone.
When the time comes to compete fairly with several other aristocratic families in Hebei, they will never be rivals.
They are tigers who sit on the ground, but they are not dragons who cross the river. At best, they are just tigers who climb over the mountains. If you fight with others on their territory, it is impossible to win.
At that time, not only will the many benefits gained in the early stage be paid out, but countless favors and money may also come with it.
To compete with several other aristocratic families in Hebei Province, one must not only look at connections, relationships, and background, but also money.
The most important thing is that at the end of the dispute, Mr. Li still had to spend a lot of money to mediate.
Based on their family background, if the quarrel really gets bigger and they don't want to lose everything, they can only ask the Li family to mediate, and only the Li family is qualified to mediate.
With Li Yuanji's gluttonous temperament, he will want more when the time comes.
