Li Yuanxing looked at Li Lanshan, he needed an answer.
Li Lanshan walked up to Li Yuanxing, stared into Li Yuanxing's eyes, and pressed one hand on Li Yuanxing's chest: "Li Yuanxing, seven women surround you and one man. How many parts can your heart be divided into? What's more, you, King Qin,
You, Li Yuanxing, have more than seven women in your house."
Li Yuanxing said nothing.
"You work at least ten hours a day, excluding eating and sleeping. On average, you can talk to a woman for more than five minutes a day. I'm afraid it will be extremely hard for you. So, your so-called care is just what you say, even if you think about it in your heart
If you think like this, you can’t actually do it.”
Li Yuanxing nodded, Li Lanshan's words were not wrong at all.
"The palace fights on TV are simply a joke. It was only in the Tang Dynasty that I truly understood what the harem was like. If there is no fiefdom, then they will still surround you. With this fiefdom, as a woman,
Since her man cannot truly belong to her, her thoughts will turn to her children. Therefore, Li Yuanxing, it is impossible for you to win the hearts of your seven princesses."
Li Yuanxing couldn't accept what Li Lanshan said.
"The Tang Dynasty is not yet the Ming Dynasty." Wu Zhao also added.
Li Yuanxing didn't want to accept this explanation, but he couldn't refute it.
"Feel uncomfortable! In fact, this is what normal people think." Li Lanshan gave Li Yuanxing the final blow.
Li Yuanxing closed his eyes helplessly.
Li Lanshan and Wu Zhao looked at each other, and neither of them spoke again. If Li Yuanxing was provoked at this time, he would probably fall out. Li Yuanxing believed what Li Lanshan said: If possible, that woman is willing to share her man with others.
The result of helplessness is tragic for women as well as for men.
Li Lanshan gently held Li Yuanxing's head and asked Li Yuanxing to bury his head in her arms.
There was one sentence that Li Lanshan didn't say, and neither did Wu Zhao. But Li Yuanxing knew it very well.
In fact, he was a victim of politics, and so were the seven Qin princesses.
For the sake of Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for the imperial power, and for the sake of the noble family, no one is wrong.
A month later, Li Yuanxing returned to Chang'an. At this time, Chang'an had completed its autumn harvest and it was before the next New Year. The people's eyes were full of joy because they had enough wealth to face the winter.
Li Yuanxing entered the palace, wearing the very formal robes of King Qin.
Many dignitaries who planned to enter the palace stopped in front of the palace. Just because of Li Yuanxing's clothes, many people did not think it was a good time to enter the palace.
Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, when he heard that Li Yuanxing was entering the palace, he also put on the full emperor's formal attire.
In the study, Emperor Li Er and Li Yuanxing of the Tang Dynasty sat face to face.
"Wulang, you've been working hard these days." Li Er said first.
"Brother Emperor, I really want to find an uninhabited island to live in seclusion. There are many things that make me feel very sad!" Li Yuanxing's words were also made after in-depth consideration.
Li Er smiled and laughed loudly.
"Why is the emperor laughing?" Li Yuanxing asked in confusion.
"Wulang, what did my father say to you that day?" Li Er suddenly asked.
Li Er's question made Li Yuanxing fall into deep memories. That day was the first time he met Li Yuan, before Li Er ascended the throne. He and Li Yuan chatted for a long time and the conversation was very in-depth.
"My father said that he doesn't like this chair, but this chair has endless appeal!"
"Brother Wei doesn't like it either. This chair makes Brother Wei's heart bleed! Do you think that Brother Wei would be happy when he saw the incompatible look between Li Ke and Li Chengqian? In Brother Wei's harem, secret arrows are flying everywhere.
, who is not planning for themselves, even your imperial sister-in-law, does not have the same sense of closeness as she did ten years ago."
After Li Er finished speaking, they both sighed deeply at the same time.
"Brother Wei has no choice but to let you come back. Brother Wei is not an incompetent emperor. Can't a mere Tufan brother solve the problem? It's just that the land trade routes are blocked, and our Tang Dynasty still has seas. According to Wu Lang,
The sea chart can be traded directly with Rome and the journey will be faster. You can go back and forth twice or even three times a year. It is faster than traveling on land!"
Li Yuanxing nodded, what Li Er said was absolutely correct.
Li Er continued: "Do you know what everyone in Datang is afraid of?"
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently. "Maybe I can guess it, maybe I can't!"
"Joke!" Li Er smiled coldly: "Brother, I don't believe you can't guess it. That's all, brother, let me tell you. There are some things you don't want to say, and I understand. From the time everyone in the Tang Dynasty learned that you were training soldiers, everyone
Even uneasy!"
Li Yuanxing also laughed.
"Someone wrote a letter, fearing that you would respect yourself as a soldier. But this letter was scolded by countless people. Wulang thinks, do they trust you?" Li Er laughed, and his tone became colder: "They don't trust you, but they trust you.
They are afraid that this seal will affect their recruitment in their own fiefdom!"
Li Yuanxing sighed and smiled helplessly.
"What they are really afraid of is that Li Lanshan's son has a fiefdom. Your seven princesses are extremely sensitive to this matter. They are in the harem and in the market. They use the influence of the family, in the court and in Tianying Pavilion.
Many things have been discussed, and they don’t want Li Lanshan’s son to have a fiefdom. Because until now, you have not announced your son’s name.”
Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette.
"My sons, my brothers, my nephews, and soon their mothers and wives also joined your seven princesses. They just don't want Li Lanshan's son to have a fiefdom."
"The Port of Stars!" Li Yuanxing whispered.
Li Er patted the cigarette Li Yuanxing put on the table and lit one for himself: "Yes, it's the Port of Stars."
"So my brother said, find an uninhabited island and live in seclusion!" Li Yuanxing was helpless.
"Wrong, only if you, Wulang, have lived in Chang'an will people in this world feel at ease. It doesn't matter how many sons your Wulang has. Even if you marry dozens more, have dozens more sons, and carve out dozens of fiefdoms, it doesn't matter.
The sons of Li Lanshan alone cannot have a fiefdom, because they will be afraid, and all ambitious people in the world will be afraid!"
Li Er has already said it very straightforwardly.
Li Yuanxing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he turned on the stove and prepared to boil water for tea.
Li Er had no intention of letting Li Yuanxing go just like that: "Wulang, Li Lanshan's son will be another King of Qin, a King of Qin without the name of King of Qin. Once he has an overseas fiefdom, it means that this fiefdom will be the strongest.
, maritime trade, overseas resources, and even fights, no one is confident that they can fight against it."
"Brother, have you seen the howitzer?"
"All the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty have seen it. That cannon has been sealed and is no longer allowed to be made. With forty cannons like that, the Tang Dynasty can attack and be invincible. Everyone knows that if you Wu Lang
If you are willing, you can defeat 100,000 or even a million people with 200 people. I believe that your son, Wu Lang and Li Lanshan, can also do it."
Li Yuanxing nodded silently.
"Wulang, the powerful are not afraid of your fiefdom, they are only afraid of your and Li Lanshan's son having a fiefdom!"
Li Er has already made his words very straightforward.
There wasn't even the title Lan Yue, and he directly called Li Lanshan by her name. Li Er wanted to tell Li Yuanxing the real reason for calling him back this time.
"I feel uncomfortable!" Li Yuanxing said weakly.
In this year, Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty was thirty-three years old, and Li Yuanxing, King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, was only twenty-eight years old.
From the first year of Zhenguan, the 22-year-old Li Yuanxing came to the Tang Dynasty, and the 27-year-old Li Er became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I feel more mature, but also more helpless.
Li Er pointed to the stove: "Wu Lang, the water is boiling."
"Ah!" Li Yuanxing responded and took down the water to make tea. He was a little confused. That was his princess and his son. How could it be like this?
"Wu Lang, you know that my brother wants to build a royal inner garden in Qujiang Pond. As a result, there are those who are against it and some who are in support of it. In short, there is no result yet. After thinking about it, after the result is obtained, it can be built or not.
It can be repaired." Li Er also looked helpless.
"Then what?" Li Yuanxing asked.
Li Er smiled: "If it can be repaired, then how to repair it, how big it will be, and how much money it will cost, we still need to discuss it further."
"And then...?" Li Yuanxing didn't understand why Li Er suddenly mentioned this.
Li Er stood up and patted his throne twice hard: "Then, then who said that the emperor is the master of the world, and who said that the emperor can do whatever he wants? Someone scolded Wei brother and asked Wei brother to take care of it.
There are all people in the world. How can I get angry when someone scolds me?"
Li Er had an angry look on his face: "You can't get angry. As a brother, I have to say it with a smile on my face. What you said is absolutely true. I should reflect on myself!"
Li Yuanxing laughed, laughing as loudly as Li Er just now.
"Brother, I feel unhappy. For brother, I want to level Tufan. I must!" Li Er's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Yuanxing knew very well that Li Er was trying to take out his anger on Tufan.
Li Er put his hands on the table and stared into Li Yuanxing's eyes: "Wu Lang, listen."
"Brother Chen is listening!" Li Yuanxing put away the smile on his face. He was startled by Li Er's expression.
"Wulang, my brother is very clear and understanding, and I support your idea very much. Let the aristocratic families benefit, and then use their profits to strengthen the royal family and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Because if there is no aristocratic family, only the treasury will
With just a few coins and a pitiful income every year, it would be impossible for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Nanyang in three hundred years."
"Brother Imperial!" Li Yuanxing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Er.
Li Er approached Li Yuanxing and said softly: "Wu Lang, let there be some fighting between the aristocratic families!"
