"Cen Wenwen pays too much attention to knowledge. If you want your son to grow up to be a talented man, that's fine."
"Where are Feng Deyi and the others?"
"They are a little older...and I'm afraid that my child will be instigated by them..."
Ha, Li Po couldn't help but laugh. Feng Deyi and Changsun Shunde were both cunning and cunning, but they were disliked and failed to be selected.
Of course, they were not too interested in the position of the prince's division. The emperor was in his prime, and it was rare for him to rule for twenty or thirty years at such an age.
With their own age and official position, there is no need to improve their status by teaching the prince, nor do they need to use this to prepare for the future.
Moreover, the fight between the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had not passed long, and some events were still vivid in their minds, so their willingness to become the prince's division was extremely low.
"Someone recommended Li Gang to me..." Li Po himself laughed when he mentioned Li Gang.
Li Bi thought for a while and then said: "Li Wenji, Minister of Dali Temple?"
Seeing her husband smiling and nodding, Li Bi frowned and said, "Who recommended him? Is there any motive?"
Li Gang had a very good reputation and was very fair in his conduct and actions. Just like when Liu Wenjing was tried, Li Gang was concurrently serving as the Crown Prince Zhan Shi at the time. He was a true member of Li Jiancheng's party, but he still said a few fair words for Liu Wenjing.
But Li Bi definitely doesn't like this person, "Husband, please don't agree. What they did in Tongguan sounds disgusting. How can such a person go to Yuan'er?"
Li Po nodded in agreement and said: "You have said too little. Li Wenji is still the East Palace of the former Sui Dynasty deposed prince Yang Yong. Do you know what happened to Yang Yong?"
Li Jiancheng also died in the end. This man changed his family very quickly without damaging his own reputation. It is really inappropriate to have him next to a child."
Li Gang is not young. He has been in high-ranking official positions for decades. He has been held in high positions many times. There is no doubt about his talent. However, he is a bad character because he specializes in cheating the prince.
Especially what they did in Tongguan was very criticized. Some people who knew the inside story despised their conduct, and they mainly refer to Li Gang, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and others.
The couple worried about their son's education, but they didn't know what to do.
Yan Shigu's advantage was that he was a member of an authentic Kansai family, his father and ancestors were both Kansai great Confucians, and the Yan family of Yongzhou was a well-known scholarly family in the Kansai literary world.
He is slightly inferior to Cen Wenwen in talent and learning, but he has the characteristics of a Kansai scholar. He is not a weak and humble gentleman. He can mount a horse and kill someone with a knife. In a fight, even ten Cen Wenwen will not be his opponent.
Therefore, although Li Bi didn't like the way her son was wielding swords and guns all day long, when choosing a teacher for his son, he would not choose Cen Wenwen, lest his son lose his martial spirit.
"After the New Year, I plan to have a banquet with the palace concubines on the first day of the Lunar New Year. They will all arrive in good numbers. Don't you, husband, still not recognize them all? I will introduce them to you then?"
"Look what you said, there are only a few people in the harem who can serve on the table now. I'm not old, how can I forget the people I've met?"
Li Po did have fewer restrictions on entering and leaving the palace. He usually stayed in Ganlu Hall, ate in Liangyi Hall, handled political affairs in Taiji Hall, and exercised in Wude Hall, all within the scope of Taiji Palace.
When he arrived at the harem, he would go straight to the Qingning Palace. In fact, his life trajectory for more than a year was very regular, which was actually a necessary quality for a wise king.
A wise king must be diligent in his work, and his life will tend to be boring. People like Li Po can adjust their lives from time to time, but they seem a bit out of tune compared to others.
Of course, this will never be recorded in history books.
And just as Li Po said, the four concubines and nine concubines in the harem now do not have enough people together, and the others are all empty.
It was not because there were not enough women in the palace, but because Li Yuan was too energetic and there were many people who had affairs with him. Li Po's teeth were not as good as others, so there were more job vacancies.
Li Bi laughed and said, "As long as you haven't forgotten, will your first husband come or not?"
Li Po thought for a moment and said, "Well, there's nothing to do anyway. It's good to just listen to some music and watch some dancing."
He recalled the scene of the palace banquet at the beginning of the year. The women in the palace were versatile, and no matter their figure or appearance, they were all chosen at the moment. If Li Chun hadn't disturbed the situation, everyone should have been able to leave happily.
Li Bi heard that he agreed, "Then they should be very happy. Let them prepare some songs and dances to entertain the king these days."
Li Po smiled and said: "Let's have fun together."
Li Bi continued: "Then when you are fifteen, do you want to have fun with us?"
"It's the Lantern Festival, I wanted to summon the ministers to the palace for a gathering..."
Li Po didn't need to finish his words, Li Bi already smiled and said: "Husband, that's business. I actually want to entertain the ladies outside here."
Li Poxin said, luckily...it was a bit embarrassing to think about that scene.
However, he still asked out of curiosity, "There should be quite a few ladies outside, right?"
Li Bidao: "Well, there are quite a few, but this time I hosted only the ladies of the country, and there were only sixteen people in one place. Li Yuan did ban a lot of them, but most of them were relatives of the Li family. The extra ones last year
If you give away all the bestowals, there will be fewer people.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to take care of dozens or hundreds of people.”
"Mrs. Chengguo, please don't invite me. It seems that most of those ladies are the descendants of the former Sui Dynasty. It will be embarrassing to meet Empress Xiao. If you don't have any intention of humiliating..."
"Why should I humiliate her when I have nothing to do? Don't worry, husband, she has no children now, and she doesn't have much contact with the Xiao family. Most of the people who go to visit her are turned away by her.
In this way, I don’t want to disturb you too much, unlike my husband who has to visit you from time to time."
Li Po chuckled and did not defend himself.
Empress Xiao was not young, and he had no intention of coveting her from the beginning to the end. It was just that Empress Xiao was a typical southern woman. Not to mention her appearance, she had a gentle and meticulous temperament and a wide range of talents. Compared with the women from Kansai, she was just like a woman from the south.
Wang Qingquan, getting along with her is a completely different experience.
Li Bi had obviously calmed down, but she felt uncomfortable seeing his cryptic expression, so she continued to poke the knife, "Why don't you ask me if I want to invite Li Sanniang?"
"Hasn't she been granted the title of wife yet? Why did you invite her here? Could it be that she feels too comfortable and wants to cause some trouble for herself?" Li Po looked at his wife in surprise, as if he were looking at a fool.
Li Bi snorted, feeling that it was stupid to do so. It was like inviting those ladies to watch his jokes. Thinking about it, he also laughed at herself...
So he said stubbornly: "Then invite her again next year."
