Chapter 79: Barbecue, Drinking, and Playing Mahjong

Manna Hall.

The whole family gathered together, and Lao Li was very happy. He first encouraged his three sons, and then comforted and rewarded Princess Qin. He was even more happy when treating his grandchildren.

Surrounding him, in addition to his grandchildren, there are four or five sons. Since Lao Li ascended the throne, he has basically had one son a year, and he is getting stronger and stronger.

Historically, Li Yuan's twenty-two sons, starting from the sixth son, were basically all sons born after he ascended the throne. It can be seen that it was not that Li Yuan could not have children, but that Empress Taimu Dou did not allow him to easily provide ammunition.

Therefore, Li Zhiyun could become the only concubine before Li Yuan ascended the throne, which shows how difficult it was.

Lao Li was also very miserable in the first half of his life. Although he was born into a noble family, his family was in a poor state and he did not enjoy many benefits. Later, he finally married a rich and beautiful woman, but he was eaten to death.

But what surprised Li Zhiyun was that Zhang Jieyu, who was deeply loved by Lao Li, did not give birth to a child, which made him feel stunned. He remembered that Zhang Jieyu seemed to have had children in history.

Is it possible that because of his appearance, Zhang Jieyu couldn't give birth?

Li Yuan hugged Li Zhiyun's youngest son Cheng Zhao and said with a smile: "This boy is better than you. Look at how strong his arms are. He is really my grandson."

Cheng Zhao is indeed very strong, unlike a child who is only a few months old.

Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "I am an ignorant child and I have offended my father. Please forgive me."

"I just like this child." Li Yuan said with a smile: "The same was true when King Wei Huai was born. He would make a lot of noise when he cried, and he would be very powerful when hitting people with both hands."

King Qi said: "I remember what Ye Ye said. It was really painful for Third Brother to hit someone when he was a child."

Li Zhiyun was stunned, why don't I remember.

Oh, by the way, Li Yuanji liked to make trouble when he was a child and was often beaten violently by Li Xuanba. No wonder he has a deep memory.

After holding little Chengzhao and teasing him for a while, Li Yuan said: "You have all made great contributions, and your heirs will be blessed. The prince, the king of Qin, the king of Qi, all of them are granted the title of county king, and I cannot favor one over the other."

After speaking, Li Yuan gave Li Zhong, the chamberlain, a look. The latter understood, stepped forward, took out the imperial edict and read it out.

The words of praise are skipped, the core content is to reward Li Zhiyun's sons.

Among them, the eldest son, Chengjing, was already the county king, and the second son, Chengyan, was granted the title of Qingjiang County Prince, the third son, Chenglie, was granted the title of Guiyang County Prince, and the fourth son, Chengzhao, was granted the title of Wuling County Prince.

Li Zhiyun and his disciples thanked him.

When it was over, Li Zhiyun took his sons back to their seats, and little Chengzhao also returned to his mother's arms.

Immediately, Li Yuan sighed: "I cherish Erlang the most. He was loved by Empress Taimu when he was younger. Later I raised an army and Erlang's soldiers entered the third auxiliary. After the founding of the country, he defeated Xue Ju, destroyed Liu Wuzhou, rejected the Turks, defeated Wang Shichong, and drove away Dou Jiande.

Capturing Du Fuwei, Li Zitong should be considered the most successful official in establishing the country. But now that he has died early, I will succeed his country in front of his son, raise up his heirs, and make his incense continue."

At this point, he paused slightly and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Chengqian."

Li Chengqian came out under the leadership of his grandmother, Sun.

Li Yuandao: "Your father, King Qin, made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, he died now. I feel sorry for him. You are the legitimate eldest son of King Qin. To accept his favor and succeed him, I will designate you as King Yong."

Changsun and his son knelt down and bowed.

"My daughter-in-law thanks my father for his kindness."

"Thank you, Grandfather Emperor, for your kindness." Li Chengqian kowtowed and thanked him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan said: "King Wei Huai passed away early, and I would like to enshrine him as King Yidu. What do you think, Princess Qin?"

Mrs. Changsun pursed her lips slightly, looked at the confused second son Li Tai not far away, and reluctantly agreed.

"When my husband was alive, he often said that he pitied King Wei Huai the most. Now that my father has a destiny, it is all my husband's heart. My daughter-in-law has no objection. However, Qingque is still young. Can I let my daughter-in-law teach him to grow up?"

"This is the right thing to do." Li Yuan said: "I changed the title of King Yidu to King Wei, succeeded King Huai of Wei, and was educated by Princess Qin."

Lao Li was always unambiguous and forthright in conferring titles on the clan.

In Li Zhiyun's view, Lao Li's appointment of Li Chengqian as King Yong and Li Tai as King of Wei probably meant to compensate the Qin Palace.

After all, a one-word king is much more noble than a county king.

He made a rough calculation: King Li Yuanji of Qi was granted the title of King of Chu, his nephew Li Chengqian was granted the title of King Yong, Li Tai was granted the title of King of Wei, his sixth brother Li Yuanjing was granted the title of King of Zhao, his seventh brother Li Yuanchang was granted the title of King of Lu, his eighth brother Li Yuanli was granted the title of King Zheng, and his ninth brother was granted the title of King Zheng.

Li Yuanjia was granted the title of Song Dynasty

King, the tenth brother Li Yuanze was granted the title of King of Jing, and the eleventh brother... plus the prince's sons, the sons of King Qi, his own sons, and the clan kings, together they were

There are thirty or forty princes and princes.

How much does this cost every year?

Too much, a waste of food!

Thinking further, Li Zhiyun remembered that Lao Li had more than 20 sons in history.

More than twenty kings!

Thinking about it made his scalp tingle, it was too much.

At the moment, he will not raise objections on this matter, and will only make plans in the future.

Looking at his second sister-in-law, Li Zhiyun felt that she was very miserable for no reason. There were many members of the clan, but Li Yuan chose Li Tai. This was not only because he had to take care of Prince Qin's heirs, but also because the King of Qin died and there was no pillar in the Prince's palace.

If the King of Qin is here, Lao Li will definitely discuss with the King of Qin the matter of Li Taisi defending King Huai.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun couldn't help but think of the sons and daughters of the princes and kings of Qi in history. Their sons were all killed by Li Shimin and their roots were eradicated. Their deaths were considered happy and they did not suffer much. But their daughters lived a very miserable life.

.

Not to mention Li Yuanji, a cuckold king. Not only was his wife robbed by his second brother, but the child his wife gave birth to by his second brother was adopted and given to him by Li Shimin.

nausea!

This was clearly a cuckold made by Li Shimin himself and placed on Li Yuanji's grave.

How much hatred, how much hatred, how disgusting is it for a dead person?

So far, he has no regrets about anything he has done.

He silently held his wife's hand and drank the wine without saying a word.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

If he were defeated, everyone in the family and everyone else would probably die without a place to bury him.

Therefore, he must not lose.

Whoever blocks it will be killed!

"Husband, what's wrong?" Ms. Yang felt her palm being held tightly by her husband and asked.

Li Zhiyun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Nothing happened. I just saw my second sister-in-law alone, and I couldn't help but think of my second brother."

Princess Chu said simply: "My husband is the younger brother of the King of Qin, so he has the responsibility to take care of his widowed sister-in-law. In the future, my husband can take care of the Prince of Qin's house. This will be worthy of the late King Wu of Qin."

Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "My wife is saying that as a younger brother, I should really take good care of my second sister-in-law."

Second brother, don’t worry, I will take good care of your wife and let her feel my warm love and affection every day from now on.

Princess Chu smiled and shook her husband's hand. She liked her husband being so intimate with her.

Halfway through the banquet, Lao Li became dizzy from drinking. Finally, he was too drunk and retreated to the harem to rest.

After Lao Li left, the others naturally stopped staying to eat and drink and left one after another.

Outside the palace.

Li Zhiyun took his wife and chatted with Princess Qin for a while, and finally said to Li Chengqian with a smile: "Chengqian, if you have anything to do in the future, please tell your uncle and he will make the decision for you."

"Thank you for taking care of me, uncle." Li Chengqian responded politely.

Then, Li Zhiyun looked at the much thinner second sister-in-law.

"Second sister-in-law, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you may wish to come to me. My second brother was very helpful to me when he was alive. Now that he is unfortunately killed, I should take care of you."

Changsun was slightly moved and said, "I remember."

Since her husband's death, the King of Chu was the only one who asked for help, which made her unable to remain moved.

Not far away, the prince glanced at him, with a sneer on his lips, and said to Li Yuanji beside him: "The King of Chu has been very prosperous recently."

Li Yuanji had a scheming mind and was also a bad guy. He immediately said: "No, he is now a general of divine strategy, unlike us!"
