Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1153: Banten besieged
Life, old age, sickness and death, who can inherit the throne, even if Li Xuan is the emperor, it is impossible to determine, he can only make adjustments within his ability.
For example, to protect the prince as much as possible so that he can grow up safely, Li Xuan has always been very concerned about this. Since the birth of the eldest son of the emperor, Li Wei, Li Xuan has begun to formulate a unique way of raising princes compared to the previous dynasties. and the education system.
Take Li Zhen, the eldest son of the emperor, as an example. After he was born, a team of more than 20 people took care of him, including an experienced nurse, a nimble maid, an all-weather doctor, and a special bodyguard.
At the same time, in order to prevent the infection of various germs, especially epidemic diseases, Li Xuan specially vacated a courtyard for him, and the house is fully disinfected, and everyone entering and leaving needs to be disinfected.
Later, the three princes were born in 6 consecutive years, which is also the same operation!
In the early years, Li Xuan was worried that they might get smallpox or something. He even instructed the abnormal medical students in the Royal Institute of Technology's Department of Medicine to experiment with vaccination, and he clearly told them to inoculate cowpox. After the test, the cowpox is already out.
The year before last started a small-scale trial, and the princes and princesses were also vaccinated with cowpox for 6 consecutive years to prevent smallpox infection.
Recently, it is ready to start a large-scale promotion of cowpox vaccination, but there is still a lot of concern and resistance among the people about this technology, so the promotion is not very smooth, there is no way, ordinary people, no matter what era, ignorant occupy the majority.
Li Xuan is not in a hurry about this, anyway, the technology has already been developed, and it will be promoted slowly.
As several princes grew up, Li Xuan still specially formulated their education plan!
This kind of education plan is naturally different from the education plan of ordinary people, and Li Xuan did not allow them to accept the individual teaching of the palace teacher.
Although they are princes, Li Xuan still hopes that they can have a slightly normal childhood, so Li Xuan specially set up a royal primary school this year, and selects school-age children from the families of courtiers and honors, and then enters the school, giving a few A prince as a classmate.
Li Xuan hoped that these princes would have the opportunity to communicate with ordinary people, instead of growing up alone in a deep palace and not understanding the world at all.
Whether in life or education, Li Xuan is very attentive to his sons! He can't guarantee that each of these sons will be able to become any talented people, but at least don't become idlers and so on.
To be an emperor, to be honest, does not have to be a talented person. As long as he is an ordinary person, he can have the IQ and emotional intelligence of a normal person, and after special royal education, he can generally not do anything. too bad.
Among the emperors who have traversed the dynasties, except for a few founding emperors or ZTE emperors, most of them are actually mediocre, but they are not as good as emperors.
The prince's education does not teach too advanced knowledge such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. They are princes, not to be scientists. They don't need to be too proficient in these. They just need to know that mathematics, physics and chemistry are useful, and they must pay attention to science.
Li Xuan's current education for several princes is more to let them know the common sense of life, the common sense of society, professional knowledge and even the education of politics. That will be in the future.
Now, the point is to let them know how much a bun costs, and let them know that although they are princes and can drink meat porridge with every meal, ordinary people cannot afford it, even ordinary white porridge. can not afford to drink.
And those who receive this kind of education are currently the eldest son of the emperor, Li Yan, and the second son of the emperor, Li Yan. Both of them were born in Xuanping four years ago and are already six years old this year, while the third son of the emperor, Li Yan, is only three years old this year. The fourth son is only one year old, and has not yet reached the age of school.
Li Yan and Li Ying, who only started school this year, were very happy when they first went to school. They stayed in the deep palace every day. Except for a few brothers and sisters, they had not met many of their peers.
After arriving at the Royal Primary School, I met dozens of peers, and it was a lot of fun!
The subjects of the Royal Primary School are also different from the schools outside. The main subjects are only three subjects of Chinese, mathematics and nature, but there are many auxiliary subjects, such as the six arts and social practice.
Of course, these are only education in school. In fact, after the daily school classes are over, and back in the palace, their mother-in-law will still pay attention to their other studies, and the content of the study is more esoteric.
No way, although these children are still young and ignorant, their mothers and concubines are sensible, and try to teach their children some philosophy of survival, what philosophy?
For example, how to please the emperor!
If you want to be the crown prince, how can you not please Li Xuan!
But they thought a little bit badly. In fact, they didn't need to please Li Xuan!
Because Li Xuan is a more rational person, and if it sounds bad, he is heartless. He will not let this prince become the crown prince just because he likes a certain prince.
The future crown prince of the Tang Empire must be the most suitable crown prince!
It's not Li Xuan's favorite, nor the best, but the most suitable!
In this point, Li Xuan and Zhengde are actually a bit similar. Emperor Zhengde's favorite is the third son, and he thinks that this person is very similar to himself. In terms of ability, the sixth son Huiwang is the most powerful of his sons.
But until his death, he did not pass the crown to the third son King Jing, nor to the sixth son Huiwang, but to the eldest son, the crown prince Shaowu Emperor, because for the Ming Empire at that time, the eldest son was the most suitable. Yes, if you don't choose this person, then there will be big problems.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for the situation that Zhu Di seized the throne, which was not included in the discussion, it was not a direct successor system to inherit the throne. There was only a special case such as the Jingtai Emperor, and the others were inherited according to the eldest son.
However, Emperor Jingtai did not die well. Later, Yingzong made a change that seized the door, and the cause of death became a mystery!
It can be seen from this that in the Ming Dynasty, which implemented the system of direct elders, Emperor Zhengde could not choose according to his own preferences, but could only choose the most suitable Emperor Shaowu.
As for the Tang Empire, Li Xuan has not yet decided what system to adopt. At the same time, he himself is the founding emperor of the eight classics, and no one dares to let him implement the system of heirs.
Therefore, the system is not a restriction for Li Xuan to choose the crown prince.
There is only one condition for Li Xuan to choose who to be the emperor, and that is to see who is the most suitable at that time.
And this suit is a comprehensive condition, so that it will not cause chaos between the government and the opposition or even a civil war, and then there must be some ability, and it cannot be a waste.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Li Xuan felt that it was still a few years of delay, and then he would see the situation and then confirm.
The royal family's New Year's Eve dinner is the same as the state banquet outside. The sense of ceremony is relatively large. After this dinner is eaten, it is relatively late, and then there are various customs and etiquette activities.
This night, Li Xuan was still very busy, at least he didn't have much time to enjoy the dance of the Palace Dance Troupe!
After this night, the Datang Empire will usher in a new year: the eleventh year of Xuanping!
In the first few days of Xuanping's eleventh year, Li Xuan was relatively leisurely, because these days were off. From the 30th to the sixth day of the lunar new year, it was a statutory holiday. Except for the staff on duty who stayed, the other officials Can take a vacation.
Of course, with such a short vacation, it is impossible for these officials to return to their hometown during the vacation, so there is no such thing as the Spring Festival in the Tang Empire.
These days, long-distance travel, casually on the road is more than half a month or even a month. It is too extravagant to go home for the New Year.
Ordinary people are still like this, not to mention officials!
People who are officials want to go back to their hometown, unless they are like Chen Lifu, whose home is more convenient in Jinling City, and in other places, they can only go back occasionally when they are on the way, and the time to stay will be very little.
Unless it's Ding You, otherwise, officials generally don't have time to go back to their hometown for too long, and even if it goes well, they will only stay for a day or two at most.
When it's time to go home, it's often time to go to work!
The officials in the capital do not go home, so there are naturally many senior officials who come to pay New Year's greetings to Li Xuan, but Li Xuan is mostly absent!
It's a big New Year's Eve, he, Li Xuan, should have a holiday too!
Except for a few ministers on duty in the imperial study and a few military bosses, he didn't see any of them, and he stayed in the harem these few days to enjoy his vacation.
During the Spring Festival, the entire Jinling City is lively and peaceful. Judging from the scenes of Jinling City during the Spring Festival, it is generally possible to see the outline of a thriving empire.
If you work harder, it is not impossible to come up with a prosperous world.
However, not every place is in a lively and peaceful place. Some places basically don't have the flavor of Chinese New Year, especially the overseas territory of Wandanfu that is far away from the mainland. It was also shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.
From a distance ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ almost the entire Banten Castle is surrounded by the dark-skinned, short-statured natives outside the city. The number of these natives is no less than 20,000.
Moreover, in these indigenous arrays, there are actually quite a few artillery pieces, among which there are even 12-pound heavy artillery pieces, and many indigenous soldiers still have arquebuses in their hands!
Among the large number of indigenous soldiers, there are a lot of messy people, including golden and blue-eyed foreigners, as well as yellow-skinned and dark-eyed East Asians, but I don't know whether they are Fusang people or Tang people.
In Wandan City, the prefect of Wandan Mansion, Zhu Jiaxiang, the prefect of Wandan Mansion, was lying on the bed.
At this time, I saw him struggling to open his eyes and muttered: Has the fleet returned?
