Valley Emperor

The lively and vigorous nineteenth year of Xuanping, as in previous years, ended with the end of the fiscal expenditure budget meeting, and the Chinese New Year state banquet was ushered in on the 30th of the Chinese New Year!

This year's Chinese New Year State Banquet, Li Xuan, as usual, hosted military and political dignitaries, important scientists, and some outstanding entrepreneurs, workers representatives, farmers representatives and other civilians.

However, unlike the Chinese New Year banquet in previous years, at this year's Chinese New Year banquet, the four older princes also accompanied Li Xuan, the Holy Son of Heaven, and stood beside Li Xuan to receive many subjects.

And this situation has attracted a lot of attention!

Because in the past ten years, Li Xuan has never brought the prince to attend the New Year State Banquet, which seems to be just a banquet, but in fact has a very strong political atmosphere.

Even the princes of the Son of Heaven have never appeared in public, let alone in such extremely political occasions.

For the past ten years, Li Xuan has strictly controlled the contact between the courtiers and the princes in order to prevent the princes from being influenced by the outside world. Of course, this control is only superficial, in public.

In private, these princes have more or less contact with the outside world, and communicate with the outside world through teachers in the Royal Primary School or even ordinary palace maids or people from the uncle's family.

Li Xuan has always been aware of this kind of contact, but he couldn't stop it too much.

After all, it is impossible for Li Xuan to truly isolate the princes and keep them from asking about world affairs. In fact, Li Xuan is preparing to initially let these princes come to the forefront, and deeply participate in military and political affairs. Pick out the crown prince in Li Xuan's mind.

Now is the last day of the nineteenth year of Xuanping. There are already eight sons of Li Xuan. Well, in fact, there are eleven princes born in these years, but even if Li Xuan is a transmigrator, even if He is the emperor, and he has vigorously promoted the development of modern medicine in these years, but he is also unable to solve the risk of dystocia when the concubines in the harem give birth and the princes are attacked by diseases.

Over the years, one prince died in childbirth, and two others died prematurely.

Therefore, there are only eight surviving princes.

Among the eight princes, the youngest were still babies, while the oldest were fifteen years old.

Li Zhen, the eldest son of Concubine Ye Shu, is already fifteen years old this year.

Li Ying, the second son born to Concubine Wang De, is also fifteen years old this year.

The third son of the emperor, Li Bin, born to Concubine Song Kang, is twelve years old this year.

Empress Dong's fourth son, the eldest son, is eleven years old this year.

The remaining four princes, the fifth prince is eight years old, the sixth prince is seven years old, and the seventh prince is three years old. The eighth prince was born last year and is only four months old.

Today, the four older princes accompanied Li Xuan to the Chinese New Year state banquet. At the beginning, these four followed behind Li Xuan to meet many subjects one by one. After the banquet began.

Li Xuan is naturally the same as before, sitting on the Dragon Terrace alone!

The other ministers took their seats below, but the seats of the four princes were not among the ministers, nor beside Li Xuan, but were seated on the left and right sides below Li Xuan.

The many subjects below, especially the military and political dignitaries, when these four princes attended the banquet with Li Xuan, they were always paying attention to these four princes, and also paid attention to the attitude of the Holy Emperor Li Xuan towards these four princes. .

Why so much attention?

Because Li Xuan suddenly brought the four princes to the New Year's State Banquet, this was almost a direct message to the ministers: "I am ready to establish a reserve!"

On the issue of the establishment of the reserve, the Son of Heaven has always resisted the public opinion, and would not allow any ministers to express any opinions. Any ministers who had made a case for the question of the establishment of the reserve, without exception, were all expelled from the court. Those who are serious are dismissed from office, and those who are light are demoted.

The Son of Heaven's toughness on the issue of the establishment of the reserve, even the Empress Dowager Bai could not change. The Empress Dowager Bai said several times about establishing the reserve in his early years, but every time Li Xuan refused to discuss related issues with words, and the Empress Dowager Bai later I also know that the question of establishing a reserve is a matter of principle for my son, and it is not something that can be discussed at all, so I will not talk about it at all.

Empress Dowager Bai's words are useless. The other concubines, including Empress Dong, are even less likely to open their mouths. The only one to die is Concubine Xu Zhuang, the biological mother of the fifth son of the emperor. Xuan said coquettishly in front of her, saying that her son was the best candidate to be the crown prince, Li Xuan was furious on the spot, and then Concubine Xu Zhuang was deprived of the concubine title for 'arbitrarily discussing the country's origin' and was demoted to concubine. Sent to Empress Dowager Bai and raised by Empress Dowager Bai.

There is Concubine Xu Zhuang, no, there is an example like Concubine Xu Zhuang. Many concubines in the harem have passed by for so many years, but they have not dared to ask any question about the establishment of the reserve in front of Li Xuan, including Empress Dong.

Everyone knows that the issue of the crown prince cannot be discussed, but it does not mean that they do not pay attention to the issue of the crown prince. On the contrary, as the princes gradually grow up, whether they are concubines or courtiers in the harem, the issue of the crown prince becomes more and more important. more and more attention.

However, Li Xuan has never disclosed any rhetoric on the issue of the establishment of the reserve, so that now the courtiers do not even know whether Li Xuan intends to establish a sage or a chief.

And today, Li Xuan kept the four princes by his side, which undoubtedly released a very critical political signal, that is, after the Holy Emperor suppressed the issue of the reserve for more than ten years, he finally took the initiative to put this issue on the table. mesa.

This kind of statement does not require any words, just look at today to know.

After all, everyone is a smart person. After a little thought, you can think of the meaning of Li Xuan's move. Undoubtedly, it is to let the four princes meet the courtiers in advance, and by the way tell the courtiers that I plan to establish a reserve, and It is very likely that the prince was selected from these four princes.

In the same way, this matter is in their respective seats, and the four princes who are receiving the gazes of hundreds of subjects also know at this time that today's occasion is extremely important to me, so although they are not young, they are But they are trying their best to maintain the demeanor of the prince.

Every move, is to try to make no one fault to pick out.

Because this is their chance, possibly the most important chance in their life, and they must perform perfectly!

In fact, they were only temporarily notified this morning. Li Xuan asked them to accompany them to the Chinese New Year state banquet, which meant that they did not have much time to prepare in advance. Before attending the state banquet, their few hours Time is used to calm down.

And because these older princes lived alone in a separate palace, they didn't look at their mother-in-law to discuss anything in an emergency. They could only calm down and prepare in a hurry.

However, they are all descendants of the royal family. Ever since they were sensible, they have been taught by countless people to do well and do better, so that they have the opportunity to become the heir of a country.

The education that princes receive is also completely different from that of ordinary people. In addition to ordinary cultural courses, they are more educated for various princes. The education of princes is more about teaching them how to become a superior, a ruler.

Take Li Zhen, the eldest son of the emperor, as an example. He is fifteen years old this year and is currently studying at the Royal School. For the education of the prince and the princess, Li Xuan specially established the Royal Primary School in his early years, and set up the Middle School a few years ago, which was renamed the Royal School. This royal school, which is divided into two parts: boys' school and girls' school, will provide a complete six-year primary education, three-year secondary education and three-year preparatory education for the princes and princesses, as well as the selected nobles, officials' children, and civilian outstanding children. .

In the royal school, Li Yan received cultural education and general subjects such as etiquette and physical education. In addition, Li Xuan also set up the Prince's Education Institute in the palace to select all kinds of senior teachers and teach all kinds of special courses, including psychology. All kinds of messy courses such as science, administrative management, and national defense economics.

Sometimes Li Xuan would personally run over to give them a small stove and teach them how to be a qualified superior.

Princes, no matter whether they can become princes or even emperors in the future, but since they were born, they are destined to have an ordinary life, and they are also a prince, a proper superior.

The prince who has received these special educations since childhood, although it is the first time to participate in the Chinese New Year state banquet, his performance is impeccable. In terms of treating people and things and his own etiquette, even when he is greeted by the courtiers, his face That's the standard textbook smile.

Li Xuan looked at the four princes below him, and nodded slightly in his heart!

They were born in the royal family. Although it is impossible to enjoy the childhood and boyhood of normal people, as the saying goes, there are gains and losses. They lost the happiness that these normal people should have, but they also gained a distinguished status that other people can't get. .

According to Li Xuan's established plan, this year, the two older princes should be crowned kings. After today's New Year's Eve, they will be sixteen years old tomorrow, and it's time to crown them kings.

Today, let them take them to see the world before they are crowned kings, and at the same time let the courtiers know what kind of people the two new princes are about to appear in the empire.

And since there is a prince who has been crowned king~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the matter of establishing the reserve should also be upgraded. Li Xuan can't keep this matter on forever. , But now that the princes have gradually grown up, it is time to settle down, and the prince will seize the throne, causing political turmoil.

After the end of the Chinese New Year State Banquet, it will officially usher in the 20th anniversary of Xuanping!

On the first day of the first lunar month, Li Xuan officially announced to the world that Li Zhen, the eldest son of the emperor, was named the King of Qi, and the second son of the emperor was the King of Zhao!

It is an established policy for the prince to be sixteen princes, and the courtiers did not have much response to this. At this time, they were more concerned about whether Li Xuan would directly establish a heir at this time.

And Li Xuan officially gave the ministers the answer half a month later, on the fifteenth and nineth day of the first lunar month!

Li Xuan officially announced to the world that Li Hao, the eldest son and fourth son of the emperor, was made the crown prince!

After Li Xian and Li Di hesitated for more than ten years, Li Xuan finally chose Li Di!

However, on the issue of King Qi and King Zhao, Li Xuan once again made an unexpected choice for everyone!
