"Come on, Changsui, let daddy hug him." Li Xingchen hugged his son.
The little prince whined a few times and was about to cry. It was obvious that this strange man frightened him.
Lechang hurriedly wanted to take his son from Li Xinchen's arms. Unexpectedly, the little prince grabbed the short beard on Li Xinchen's chin. It seemed as if he had caught something funny. He immediately started to giggle and kept trying to pull. , resulting in Li Xingchen having no choice but to follow him.
"Your Majesty, my concubine, come here." Lechang was a little helpless, "I am too old to drag you there."
The little prince burst into tears when his mother said this.
Li Xingchen was in a hurry and could only reluctantly hand his son to Lechang. Several wet nurses had already come up to comfort the child.
But Li Xingchen spread his hands. It was not his fault. He could only squat down and pull Princess Jinling over. Jinling was already over two years old. She looked at her father with wide eyes and screamed several times.
"Jinling, call me daddy and mommy." Shen Wuhua, who was next to her, also lowered her body. When Yuchi Chifan was not around, she was the one taking care of Princess Jinling.
"Dad, mother!" Jin Ling's voice was clear and crisp.
Li Xingchen laughed loudly and picked up his daughter. Yuchi Chifan, who was next to him, also hurriedly came up. Jin Ling obviously didn't feel familiar with this father whom he had not seen for a long time, and he directly stretched out his hand to ask Yuchi Chifan for a hug.
Li Xingchen rubbed his daughter's face, reluctantly handed her daughter to Yuchi Chifan, and then hugged Lechang and Shen Wuhua: "I'm out here, thank you for your hard work."
"I'm not a bitter concubine," Shen Wuhua said hurriedly.
Lechang asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are many more sisters in your palace."
Li Xingchen lowered his voice and asked, "Any comments?"
"No." Lechang hugged Li Xingchen tightly, "As long as Your Majesty still remembers my concubine."
"What are you saying? As long as I am alive, you will be the queen of the world." Li Xingchen touched her head.
Lechang nodded: "I don't need any high position or authority. As long as your Majesty needs me to do something, I will do it."
"My heirs are very few." Li Xingchen said with a bad smile.
Lechang's pretty face turned red and she didn't say much.
Only those who have personally experienced some things can understand the difficulties involved. Lechang has been in control of the government for a few days instead of Li Xingchen this time, and he has become more and more able to understand his husband's difficulties.
As the king of a country, not everything can go as planned, and you even have to work hard to do things that you clearly disagree with and don't like, just because it will benefit the people of the world. Sitting in this position has the power to satisfy selfish desires. But this kind of power has its limits after all. What is more important is to use a fraternal mind to accommodate all things in the world.
Now that His Majesty is back, I might as well play the role of a mother.
Li Xingchen's return really caused a lot of confusion in the palace. The focus was still on settling the new family members he brought back from the north. This time Li Xingchen went north, the size of the family members in the palace was almost directly expanded by half. This was what happened before in Lechang. I didn't expect it, so when I talked to Li Xingchen just now, I was a little jealous.
But as a queen, she certainly knew where her responsibilities lay. Even though there were so many sisters all at once, Lechang still tried her best to accommodate everyone.
The Jiankang Palace is actually not very big, especially since it had experienced war during the Hou Jing Rebellion. Fortunately, Li Xunchen had a good father-in-law like Chen Xu. Because Chen Xu’s ability to give birth to children was really strong, and after Chen Xu’s
The previous emperor Chen Wen had recuperated his efforts and worked hard during the Chen period, so by Chen Xu's generation the country was still relatively wealthy, otherwise he would not have been able to launch the Northern Expedition, so the number of palaces in the palace was expanded.
Of course, these palaces are all emergency products and cannot be called luxurious and wealthy. However, the only things in the palace that can be called luxurious are the two high platforms built during Chen Shubao's period for hiding girls. Since no one lives on the high platforms, everyone
The places we live in are pretty much the same, so there's nothing to be jealous of.
Li Xingchen was also aware of this problem.
Jiankang Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River. In Li Xingchen's mind, it is not the ideal location for the imperial court after unifying the world in the future. The center of gravity of the imperial court will definitely move northward. Whether it is Chang'an, Luoyang or Yecheng, it will be better than Jiankang Mansion.
It is more conducive to stabilizing the north.
In Li Xingchen's plan, for a long time in the future, the main enemies of the Han Dynasty should still be the Koryo people, the Tyuhun people, and the Tiele people in the grasslands in the north. Obviously, it is more appropriate for the Han Dynasty's center of power to be in the north.
Moreover, the natural moat has not yet been opened up, and the river is still an insurmountable barrier between the north and the south. There is a big river, and then a Huai River, and then there is another big river. If the Han Dynasty takes Jiankang Prefecture as a foothold, then it will have no influence on the north.
Control will definitely become weaker and weaker.
In contrast, going south from the south of the Yangtze River, there seems to be no opponent strong enough to destroy the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the Han Dynasty did not rely on soldiers and horses to conquer the south, but relied on the export of culture and trade. As long as the Han Dynasty conquered the south,
The economic and cultural communication center of the South is still there, so the transfer of the political center will not have any impact.
Because of the plan to move the capital, Li Xingchen could only let his wife and children make do with it in a short period of time. Lechang and the others did not have any objections to this. Most of the concubines here had experienced the war.
Compared with the threat to survival, a palace lacking royal aura seems nothing.
"Your Majesty, the eldest son is already one year old. Your Majesty should give the child a name." Lechang handed Li Xinchen a cup of tea.
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized this problem.
He really hadn't thought about what kind of name he should give his son before. After all, Li Xingchen also knew that in this era, elders were respected, and it was the elders' privilege to give names to younger generations. Before, Li Xingchen just thought about bothering Xu after having a child.
Ling or Wu Mingche.
But now he realized that there was no one else above the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and Li Xingchen was indeed the only one qualified to name his son.
"Tell me, what should I call them?" Li Xingchen took a sip of tea, "Everyone here is a talented woman, and they must be able to come up with a name."
"Your Majesty cannot be lazy." Yuchi Chifan immediately retorted to Li Xingchen, "This is your Majesty's eldest son. Your Majesty should give him a name himself."
"Yes, Your Majesty cannot let Sister Le'er down." Xu Su also echoed.
Xiao Xiang stretched out his hand and stroked his belly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can do more work. Since you are going to get up, why don't you also think about what is in my belly? Of course, your Majesty can not tell me yet."
Li Xingchen put down the tea cup angrily, knowing that you would definitely push back and forth.
He turned his head and looked at his son who didn't know that he was about to have a new code name. The boy didn't seem to realize this problem.
