Why is the prince of the feudal dynasty called the king of the country? Because having an heir like the prince will greatly dispel ambitions of ambitions for the throne. Otherwise, people's hearts will wander, and they will think that if
After killing Li Xuan, can I also go up and sit on the emperor's throne?
But if Li Xuan has an heir, everything will be different. By then, even if Li Xuan dies, but those ministers still have someone to loyal to, then Li Xuan's son will still be just a baby!
Even if the ministers wanted to protect their vested interests, or simply to manipulate the emperor to influence the minds of the princes, some of them would choose to side with the young master and fight against the rebellious careerists.
It's just that Li Xuan's health has not been very good in the past few years. The imperial doctors nursed Li Xuan's body back to health for several years before he gradually improved. Then, after Li Xuan worked hard for so long, he finally got the queen Dong Yunyun pregnant.
And this is actually the reason why Queen Mother Bai directly sent her most effective confidant Xia Ma to Dong Yunyun after Dong Yunyun became pregnant.
When Princess Huichen fled, carrying a hundred kilograms of weight, she was walking as fast as flying, and she could walk for more than ten miles without blinking an eye!
This person also carried Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun on his back!
Although Dong Yunyun is pregnant, Li Xuan feels that it is still not safe enough. What if a daughter is born? Don't expect a princess to become the heir of the Tang Dynasty. If this is possible, then Princess Huichen, whose weight is continuing to rise,
He can also be the heir to the Tang Dynasty.
But what about actually?
no!
Princess Huichen's presence in the Tang Dynasty and even in the harem of the Tang Dynasty was very low. Even the Queen Mother Bai did not pay much attention to her. Otherwise, Princess Huichen's tonnage would not be
Will continue to climb new heights!
In order to prevent Dong Yunyun from giving birth to a daughter, Li Xuan has been working at the forefront of consolidating the country recently. After handling government affairs every day, he is either dealing with the many concubines in the harem or watching the ladies dance!
It's been a busy month, but Li Xuan is very tired, but he doesn't know whether his hard work in the past month has produced any results!
Alas, it is quite difficult to find an heir!
Well, if the ministers don't believe that Li Xuan is running around among the women in the harem for the sake of the country, then Li Xuan doesn't care anymore!
What's wrong with me just having fun?
Will you bite me if you can?
In the past few years, I have spent so many miserable and precarious days, and finally got to where I am now. Why don't you let me have a girl?
Thinking of the running around and being on tenterhooks in the past few years, Li Xuan just felt that it was not easy for him to be the emperor. He couldn't help himself even if he didn't rape a hundred and eighty girls.
So what he’s thinking now is: I’ll watch a dance and you’ll be gibbering, believe it or not, I’ll punish you from all nine tribes!
Li Xuan, who holds this idea, doesn't care much about what people outside think, and he doesn't care what other women in the harem think. If these women don't give him a son and a half,
Then it has no value at all politically.
As for feelings?
Li Xuan said that his heart had long been eaten by a dog!
Besides, as an emperor, what kind of love is there? That would be too extravagant and Li Xuan couldn't afford it!
Although Li Xuan was addicted to the dance of the thigh era, his government affairs did not fall behind for a long time. The next day, he got up from his white thighs early in the morning, and then began to change clothes and eat. What happened to him today?
There are so many, but we can't sleep until three o'clock in the morning.
After breakfast, Li Xuan first went to the Empress Dowager Bai to say hello. The Tang Dynasty, like many feudal dynasties, highly respected filial piety. As the emperor, although Li Xuan did not have to go to the Empress Dowager Bai every day, he still had to go to the Empress Dowager Bai often.
Please greet me.
Queen Mother Bai also got up early. When she saw Li Xuan, she didn't talk nonsense with Li Xuan. After a few simple words, she dismissed Li Xuan with one sentence: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, go!"
Li Xuan didn't care either. Although Empress Dowager Bai dismissed him with a few words, he could feel Empress Dowager Bai's love and care for him as a mother.
If there is really one person in this world who will not betray him and support him unconditionally, then this person can only be Queen Mother Bai!
It is impossible for the daughters in the harem, and even his own children in the future, to be like Empress Dowager Bai, putting herself above everyone and everything. In Empress Dowager Bai's eyes, the entire Tang Dynasty was not as important as her precious son.
After leaving the harem and coming to the front hall, Li Xuan began to review the memorial, and then held a brief morning meeting with the ministers on duty in the Imperial Study Room. The content of the meeting was all about small daily matters. The military reported the war in Huguang, but was subject to
Due to the limited communication level, Zhaoqing now has no way to even get news about the front line. All it knows is the battle situation a few days ago.
After hearing that the 1st Infantry Division led by Hao Bainian had successfully merged with the 3rd Infantry Division, Li Xuan didn't say much. He also knew about Hao Bainian's plan and was on the same page.
He believed that Hao Bainian's plan to gather the main force of the First Army to engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the Ming Army in the Hengzhou area had risks, and they were relatively large, but the risks were controllable.
The important thing is that if it succeeds, it will basically be able to completely annihilate the more than 100,000 Ming troops in the southern part of Huguang. This will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty's future northward strategy.
What the Navy reported was still the Battle of Haojing and its follow-up affairs. The Navy proposed that in order to prepare for another attack by the Folang Robots, it was preparing to speed up the construction of several forts along the coast to prevent a large-scale attack by the Folang Robots. The naval fleet
If it cannot be resisted, protect the Pearl River Estuary and the Xijiang River to prevent the Franconian fleet from entering the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta such as Guangzhou along the Pearl River Basin.
In addition, the issue of the construction of naval battleships was also discussed.
The Navy believes that the construction of the third-class frigate Wuzhou has entered the formal stage. Although it has not been officially launched, all aspects of the process and technical support can still be achieved, so it can enter the mass production stage in advance. The Navy has proposed three
Waiting for the mass production plan of frigates, the first batch of six third-class frigates will be built.
Regarding the naval plan, Li Xuan said that a naval meeting will be held in the near future to discuss the shipbuilding plan.
But if nothing unexpected happens, the Navy's plan to mass-produce third-class frigates should be approved.
After all, when building a third-class frigate, the hull is not big, only 350 tons. Secondly, the artillery equipped on it is mainly nine-pound cannons, supplemented by seven-pound cannons.
Needless to say, the seven-pound cannon was already the most mature artillery piece in the Tang Dynasty. As for the nine-pound cannon, although it has not yet been mass-produced, it has already begun testing and produced prototypes for test firing.
The reason why Li Xuan got up early today was to go to the Zhaoqing Arsenal to watch the test firing of the nine-pound artillery sample.
After the regular morning meeting, these ministers went back to their homes to deal with political affairs, while Li Xuan took some military generals and the main person in charge of the Ministry of Industry to the Zhaoqing Arsenal.
Li Xuan wanted to go out to inspect the palace, which was naturally not a small matter. However, the Zhaoqing Arsenal was built on the outskirts of Zhaoqing City, very close to it, so although it required a large number of troops, it was actually very easy to arrange.
The Guards, who are responsible for the main security on the periphery, have already mobilized the whole army, and the entire Zhaoqing City is under strict surveillance. The roads that the royal guards pass through have been closed in advance, and are guarded by soldiers of the Guards.
At the same time, the cavalry battalion of the Guards directly provided close protection to Li Xuan as before!
Then there is the investigation and statistics section of the Hanlin Academy, that is, the espionage personnel of the Hanlin Academy, who are also ambushing everywhere!
Finally, there are Li Xuan's personal security personnel, who belong to the Security Department of the Hanlin Academy to provide personal protection to Li Xuan.
These are all normal security tasks that Li Xuan performs on daily patrols. They are not too big of a move, but they are definitely not too small either. After all, Li Xuan still cares about his own life.
And he is different from those emperors who go out exclusively for fun. When he goes out, he always has business. Going out of the palace to have fun? He doesn't have that interest. Well, no, I can't say it too definitely.
After fighting into the Qinhuai River later, Li Xuan wanted to go to the Huafang on the Qinhuai River for a private visit to soothe the wounded hearts of the women in Quxiang!
For this reason, he has been painstakingly recalling and memorizing many poems in the past few years, just waiting to go to the Qinhuai River to show off his talents and win the reputation of a brothel!
After leaving the palace, it didn't take long for Li Xuan to arrive outside the Zhaoqing Arsenal. Now the entire Zhaoqing Arsenal has moved into the new factory area, and has begun large-scale mass production. Its output fully occupies the entire area of Datang.
It accounts for more than half of the total output of the many arsenals affiliated to the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Dynasty!
Because the Zhaoqing Arsenal not only enjoys many financial subsidies and support from the Ministry of Industry, but also brings together craftsmen from almost all of Guangdong, and even those who have moved from Guangxi and Guizhou.
Because of its relatively large scale and strong technical capabilities, they were also the first arsenal among the many arsenals affiliated with the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty to start imitating the 12-pounder artillery of the Folangji.
Li Xuan did not go directly to the arsenal's factory area, but went to the arsenal's shooting range first, intending to directly view the nine-pound artillery (12-pound) imitated by the Zhaoqing arsenal.
After arriving at the shooting range, Li Xuan saw three artillery pieces that were obviously much larger than the seven-pound cannon. These artillery pieces were still made of bronze, were huge in size, and had thick barrels.
There isn't much difference between the pounder guns.
One look at it and you can tell it is extremely lethal!
