large and medium.

Prince's Mansion.

Most of Li Yan's adult sons in Yanjing are gathered here now.

After twenty years of unremitting efforts by Li Yan, Li Yan now has more than 700 children (including more than 900 sons and more than 700 daughters), and this is only the number of children who survived. Counting it, even if Li Yan's children did not reach 900, there would be more than [-]. More importantly, this number has been growing rapidly.

but--

Although Li Yan has many children, he actually doesn't have many adult sons—all together, there are only more than 200.

Moreover, many of Li Yan's more than 200 sons are not in Yanjing now—since Li Cun got that serious illness, Li Yan has scattered all his sons who are interested in official careers to various positions in various regions of Dazhong I went to practice.

Therefore, there are actually not many adult sons of Li Yan who are currently in Beijing, and there are only fifty or so in total.

Now, most of the fifty or so sons of Li Yan are gathered in the prince's mansion - it was Prince Li Cun who called them here.

Before Li Cun arrived, Li Yan's second son, Li Ang (Liu Huiniang's second son to Li Xiannian, Li Cun's younger brother of the same father and mother), said to the princes: "Have you heard, father? The emperor defeated the Mongols on the Horqin prairie, and after Tataer, the Taichiwu tribe was also wiped out by the father."

Li Ang's younger brother, Li Xu, heard the words and immediately echoed: "Why didn't I hear that, I also heard that the father took away Ke Dun, who was only 16 years old, and all his concubines and Tai Chi. The four daughters of the Wubu Great Khan, dozens of people have been added to the imperial father's harem. It is said that Ke Dun of the Taichi Wubu Great Khan is the most beautiful woman in the grassland, and she was married to the Taichi Wubu Great Khan less than ten years ago. After two months, I hadn't warmed Taichi Wubu Dahan's bed, so I went to warm my father's bed."

Li Yan has many sons, including Li Cun who is as good as Li Cun, and Li Ang and Li Xu who are so... How should I put it, dudes—I don’t know if it’s because Liu Huiniang put too much energy into cultivating Li Cun , As a result, Li Ang and Li Xu, the other two sons she gave to Li Yansheng, were both mediocre, and the two of them had no big ambitions. can be ranked in the top ten.

In this regard, both Liu Huiniang and Li Cun have tried to change, hoping that Li Ang and Li Xu can improve, but there are too many facts about Liu Huiniang and Li Cun. The most important thing is that Li Ang and Li Xu are too playful and have no ambitions. .

In the end, Liu Huiniang and Li Cun could only let it go, acquiescing that Li Ang and Li Xu became ordinary.

but--

After all, Li Ang and Li Xu are Li Yan's legitimate sons, so they got the throne early and became two Happy Kings, living happily.

King Xiaoyao has nothing to do with the world. In addition, Li Ang and Li Xu are the direct sons of Li Yan and the direct younger brothers of Prince Li Cun. Therefore, they are very popular and are willing to chat and get close to other brothers.

So, when Li Ang and Li Xu talked about Li Yan's victory on the grassland and his plundering of other people's wives and daughters, many princes who shared the same ideals as Li Xu wanted to say something to Li Xu.

But before they got to Li Xu's side, a stern voice sounded: "A son does not speak of his father, and a minister does not speak of his lord, so please be careful with your words, brother 87!"

Li Xu and the others didn't need to look, they knew that the one who said this must be Li Yan, the first son Liang Hongyu gave to Li Xiansheng.

This Li Yan is definitely an outlier among their brothers—maybe it was influenced by Liang Hongyu, who was in charge of the punishment in the harem. Li Yan has always been meticulous, unselfish, and secretive of the law since he was a child. He even relied on his own efforts. In just a few years, he achieved the position of the master book of Dali Temple step by step.

After Li Yan discovered that Li Yan was different, and during that period of time, many of Li Yan's sons were making a fuss, and Li Yan couldn't control himself, so he ordered someone to make a bamboo whip and put it on Write five big characters "specially beat unfilial sons", give it to Li Yan, let Li Yan help him manage his sons.

In principle, Li Yan can even fight Li Cun.

Such a Li Yan, Li Xu naturally dare not mess with him.

but--

Not everyone is afraid of Li Yan.

Chen Liqing is Li Yansheng's son, that is, Li Yan's second son (Li Yan's eldest son) Li Wei, so he is not afraid of Li Yan. He said: "Brother 59 is a bit too serious. Everyone knows that the father likes beautiful women. The world can't help but say about his old man's preference. The emperor's father often said, "The merits and demerits of the future generations will judge by themselves." When we are together, we will always talk about beauties, so brother 59, don't be too serious."

Li Wei dared to hate Li Yan, not only because Li Wei was only one year younger than Li Cun, but also older than everyone else, but also because Li Wei had excellent military skills—probably inherited her mother Chen Liqing's warlike gene, Li Wei was good at a young age Wu, Chen Liqing also strongly supported her son to learn martial arts and found countless famous teachers for her son, so that Li Wei could practice good martial arts. The key point is that Li Wei was born with the same supernatural power as his parents. Later, Li Yan allowed his son to go to various regions to start training at the grassroots level. Li Wei chose to go to the army, and then participated in the battle to unify the Indochina Peninsula, the battle to recover Xixia, and the land struggle to recover Tubo. He made a lot of military exploits in these battles, and finally rose to the position of commander based on his military exploits. If it weren't for the fact that he was seriously injured in the battle to regain Tubo, Li Wei should now go with Li Yan to conquer the Dajin and Mongolian tribes.

In addition, Li Wei has the most brothers (Chen Liqing gave Li Yan seven sons in total, and they were all lucky enough to survive), the key point is that their seven brothers are all very combative, each of them is strong in martial arts, and they are very united. The brother became a bully among Li Yan's sons, bullying other brothers from time to time, because of this, the seven brothers were beaten by Chen Liqing since childhood, and the result was that the more they were beaten, the more skinny they became. Therefore, Li Yan's bamboo The whip has a deterrent effect on others, but to the Li Wei brothers, it is just like everyday food.

By the way, all six of Li Wei's brothers were also thrown into the army by Li Yan to practice. Now, except for the injured Li Wei, the other six have all followed Li Yan to conquer the Dajin and Mongolian tribes.

Seeing Li Wei jumping out, Li Yan frowned!
However, before Li Yan could speak, Li Mao, who was full of elegance, stood up and bowed to Li Wei, and then said neither humble nor overbearing: "Second brother is surprised by this statement. The reason why people are different from animals is that father and son have relatives, and monarchs and ministers have righteousness." , Husband and wife are different, elders and children are orderly, friends have faith, this is a great gift, it cannot be broken, nor should it be disrespected."

Li Mao is Cheng Wan'er's second son to Li Xiansheng. Although this boy is not very old, he is definitely talented. He once participated in the imperial examination anonymously, and he actually gave Li Yan an examination. Li Yan deliberately suppressed him when he was in the imperial examination. With his talent, he was the number one scholar in the imperial examination.

Moreover, Li Mao believed in Confucianism very much, so he was highly respected by literati, and even many contemporary Confucian scholars have publicly praised Li Mao.

Li Wei is not afraid of Li Yan, but he is afraid of Li Mao—Li Mao and the group of literati behind him are not only able to argue eloquently, but Li Wei can't beat them at all. It is really difficult for Li Wei to deal with it from a moral point of view. Therefore, Li Wei would rather face thousands of troops on the battlefield, or face Li Yan's bamboo whip, than Li Mao and his literati. Trick.

So, when Li Mao stood up and was about to roll up his sleeves to have a good argument with him, Li Wei hurriedly rang the gong to stop the troops: The second master will not play with you!

At this time, Li Ji, Hua Baoyan's eldest son to Li Xiansheng, stood up and acted as a peacemaker, saying: "Okay, okay, let's let this matter go, it's really wrong for a son to discuss his father and a minister to discuss the emperor. However, there is no need for us to make the gathering between our brothers so serious, um... let's talk about why the emperor called us all here, shall we?"
