"Of course I didn't quarrel with her," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "I didn't think about it before, so why don't you just go back to your palace and stay well? I will also let them take all the princesses first later.
Let them out. As for your brothers... let them calm down first."
Ning Yuan gave a low hum, and Li Xingchen handed her over to the maid beside him. He took a deep breath, climbed up the stairs, and reached out to push open the door.
"Your Majesty..." Qinghe hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Stand back." Li Xingchen waved his hand and turned around the screen.
Lechang was dressed in a white robe, with his hair disheveled and barefoot. When he saw Li Xingchen approaching, he knelt down and said, "I am here to see your majesty."
"What are you doing?" Li Xingchen frowned and stepped forward to pull her up.
With tears in his eyes, Lechang whispered: "I broke into the East Palace today and broke the rules. I know I am guilty, so please punish me."
Li Xingchen originally wanted to slap her over, but Lechang's demeanor made him reluctant to do anything, so he could only pick her up and carry her to the bed, where he squatted down to help her put on her shoes and socks. Lechang was stunned.
Then: "Your Majesty?"
"Don't do this again." Li Xingchen flicked her forehead, "Those two bastards will let Yu Linqi take care of them. And you also reminded me that I have asked someone to release your sisters.
come out."
Lechang leaned into Li Xingchen's arms: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this..."
"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Since you are the queen, you will also be the queen after you ascend the throne, and your mother must honor the world," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "In this harem, as long as it is a household matter, it is up to you to decide it."
You must behave yourself, even if you are a certain person, you have to listen. The Chen family is a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty and is also a relative of the royal family of this dynasty. You can control them no matter how you control them, but I can’t say much."
Lechang responded in a low voice: "But..."
"There are not so many," Li Xingchen pretended to be angry, "Just pretend that nothing happened today. After all, it was someone who didn't think carefully. You did the right thing."
Lechang shrank into Li Xingchen's arms: "I didn't expect them to say that at the time...so I was a little angry..."
Li Xingchen laughed: "Since ancient times, it has been common for men to shirk responsibility for the mistakes they commit on women. Don't you know what your two brothers are like?"
Lechang opened his mouth slightly this time, but didn't know what to say. After a long time, he whispered: "I didn't mean to hurt them. I even asked myself that everything I did was to help this family continue to thrive.
The new dynasty can gain a foothold in the new dynasty, but why can't they think like this?"
"People's eyes have their own strengths and weaknesses." Li Xingchen said lightly, "Despicable people will not think of this. They will only care about what they have lost as princes and grandsons, and they will only care about their singing and dancing, and their arrogance and debauchery.
No more, I only care about how much others have contributed, but I don’t care that I have done nothing at all. It’s a pity that they are no longer the children of the royal family, and it is time for them to understand the hardships of this world. This family lies on this land
I've been sucking blood for too long."
Lechang's expression condensed slightly, but thinking of the looks in Chen Shuqi's eyes today, he suppressed the words of plea that he almost blurted out again. Li Xingchen was right, the Nanchen royal family should have experienced some hardships before they understood why they lost this. And
Even though she is the daughter of the Chen family now, she is also the eldest wife of the Li family and the future queen of the world. She has more and more important responsibilities that she needs to shoulder.
And she had to admit that what Li Xingchen said did make sense. Nanchen had granted so many princes. She originally expected these Chen family's descendants to guard various places and ensure that the Chen family's empire would last forever. However, the fact is that these descendants have become
A cancer that harms one party, for example, Chen Shuling once caused great anger and resentment in Xiangzhou, causing Nan Chen to become more and more unpopular among the people, and even among aristocratic families.
But although the lesson is here, how should Li Xingchen solve it?
Yuchi Chifan is now pregnant with Li Xinchen's child. Even if Li Xinchen is controlling the size of the harem, as Xiao Xiang grows up and Ning'er is possible in the future, it is inevitable that Li Xinchen will have three or four children.
Although the number is definitely far less than that of his father, no matter what, the temptation of the throne and glory and wealth is here, so how to solve this?
Li Xingchen seemed to see Lechang's doubts, and said calmly: "When you all have children in the future, I will cultivate their interests in different aspects, and even if there are any conflicts, just send them away.
, The four seas are so vast that Chinese men cannot be limited to just one side. We should have gone out to this land of Kyushu long ago."
It has always been a quick process for the royal family to change from controlling the world to harming the world, so Li Xingchen also had some thoughts on this. The first thing is to let the royal children understand poverty and the hardships of the people below, and they cannot say "why not eat minced meat"
This is ridiculous and generous. And when everything stabilizes, Li Xingchen will definitely develop commerce, industry, etc. If he only relies on farming, the Chinese nation can gain a foothold in Kyushu, but it is destined to be impossible to go further.
I left because if I wanted to rule a wider area of land, it was obviously unrealistic to just rely on farming.
The royal family must play a leading role in this. Only when the royal family realizes the importance of technology, business, etc. can these truly develop forward.
But these are just Li Xingchen's preliminary assumptions. After all, his first child is still in Yuchi Chifan's belly, and he doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl.
After a pause, Li Xingchen spread his hands: "What's more, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's useless to think about it now. Instead of thinking about that, let's work hard to create humans first to achieve the prerequisites for thinking about this issue."
Lechang pushed him gently. Even though his husband had reached this position, he was still out of shape. But it was his appearance that made Lechang feel that the person sleeping next to his pillow was a living person.
people, not the whole world.
"It's a pity that tomorrow is August 15th, and Xiang'er and Fan'er are still on the way." Li Xingchen shook his head, feeling a little regretful. Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan set out from Shu after Li Xingchen captured Southern Yuzhou, because
Yuchi Chifan was already six months pregnant, and it was difficult for the baby to move, so they slowly and leisurely went down the river. It was probably almost nine months before they got here.
Lechang's mood seemed to have recovered, and he smiled and said: "Husband, you can't be too greedy. In troubled times, it is already thankful to God that we can be reunited."
"The troubled times..." Li Xingchen murmured, "These troubled times will end as soon as possible." (To be continued)
