The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

Time flowed by slowly, and all the goods that Feng Ang had sent from Lingnan had been transported to Chang'an.

On the day the goods were all ready, Feng Ang found Chen Huai'an and asked when they would be presented to His Majesty. Chen Huai'an said there was no rush and to wait a little longer.

And so they waited until June 15th.

On this day, Li Zhi, the legendary Tang Dynasty's most fortunate man, was born!

With the sound of a baby crying, Li Shimin finally felt relieved.

Soon after, the midwife emerged from the palace carrying a child, beaming with joy: "Your Majesty, it's a prince! Mother and child are safe and sound. Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing that mother and child were safe, Li Shimin immediately smiled and said, "Good, good, good! Reward them all, give them all to me!"

He took the baby from the midwife, looked at him carefully, and the little guy wasn't afraid of strangers. When he saw him, he gradually stopped crying.

Li Shimin liked the child more and more as he looked at him, even though the newborn baby was not exactly good-looking.

But the connection that came from blood ties made him find it more and more pleasing to the eye.

"What about Guanyinbi? How is she now?" Li Shimin asked with great pleasure.

The midwife quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress has just given birth to a prince and is very tired. She is currently resting. Your Majesty may visit her later."

"Good!" Li Shimin laughed heartily. "Issue an edict to summon all officials of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an to the palace for a banquet. I will host a banquet for all officials. I also issue an edict to the whole country to bestow millet upon all people born on this day as a sign of celebration."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Anan was also very happy; after so long, there was finally something to be happy about.

"Father, let me see my little brother, let me see him!"

Li Lizhi stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to try and see.

"Father, me too, I want to see as well," Li Tai said.

Although Li Chengqian was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't a younger sister, he was still happy to have another younger brother and joined in.

"Alright, alright, let them all see." Li Shimin was genuinely pleased at this moment, and squatted down to let the little guy's brothers and sisters see him.

Li Lizhi opened her eyes wide and looked at the little boy in front of her: "Is this my little brother?"

"Little sister, you're finally not the youngest anymore!"

The young Princess Chengyang gazed longingly at her newborn brother, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons: "Little brother, little brother!"

Li Shimin smiled but remained silent, not paying any attention to those words.

In Li Lizhi's eyes, the closest children were undoubtedly those born to Empress Zhangsun; siblings from the same mother are ultimately different.

"Father, let's give our little brother a name," Li Chengqian whispered a reminder.

Li Shimin said, "As for the name, your mother and I have already decided. If it's a son, we'll name him Li Zhi!"

"So, your younger brother will be named Li Zhi!"

"Li Zhi?" Li Chengqian thought for a moment. "A good name. Father Emperor is very thoughtful."

The family gathered together, talking all at once. Li Zhi, being a newborn, looked around and quickly became sleepy, stretching out his hand and falling asleep.

After a long time, Li Shimin, with his children and holding Li Zhi, visited Empress Zhangsun.

The latter was still a little pale, but when Li Shimin brought the child over, she still managed to get up.

Li Shimin quickly went over and gestured for her to lie down: "Guanyinbi, don't be anxious. Look, this is Zhi'er, a boy who isn't afraid of strangers."

He placed the child next to Empress Zhangsun, who looked at her newborn son with a tender maternal expression.

"Cure the child... okay."

"Mother, are you alright?" Li Lizhi asked with some concern.

"Alright, Mother, you'll feel better after a rest." Seeing her children beside her, looking at her with concern, Empress Zhangsun felt an indescribable tenderness in her heart.

Afterwards, the family talked for a while. Li Shimin told Empress Zhangsun to rest well, then took the child and his children out.

Arriving at Xiande Hall, almost all the officials of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an had arrived.

Knowing that Empress Zhangsun would give birth soon, the officials had already made preparations.

At the start of the banquet, Li Shimin immediately bestowed silks and satins upon each official according to their rank, and everyone received one.

The banquet lasted a long time, and in the end only some trusted civil and military officials remained. Li Shimin brought Li Zhi in, wanting everyone to see him.

"Not bad, a spirited lad." Cheng Yaojin chuckled as he saw the little guy staring at him, not at all shy.

Changsun Wuji chuckled and pinched Li Zhi's cheek; after all, this was his nephew.

The relationship between a nephew and his uncle goes without saying.

No matter what happens in the future, my nephew is definitely someone I can rely on!

Only Chen Huai'an looked at him with a strange expression.

You're still laughing? You're going to get really badly screwed over in the future!

Historically, there is considerable debate about whether Li Zhi ordered Changsun Wuji's exile. However, the only certainty is that even if Li Zhi did not authorize it or orchestrate it, he absolutely acquiesced to it.

Of course, it was also because the future Changsun Wuji became completely arrogant; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

Li Zhi, who learned all of Li Shimin's methods, was no soft-hearted person; he was ruthless to the core.

He then stopped paying attention to Changsun Wuji and looked at the still young Li Zhi with a complicated expression.

I don't know how much my arrival will change.

At least for now, Li Chengqian's biggest backers are himself, Empress Zhangsun, and Zhangsun Wuji.

The one most affected was Empress Zhangsun. If Empress Zhangsun hadn't died, Li Shimin wouldn't have become so neurotic later on, and Li Chengqian wouldn't have rebelled.

Changsun Wuji has several nephews, so he has more than one choice. As for himself... family members know their own affairs. He will eventually leave this place and cannot protect Li Chengqian forever.

Nobody knows what the future holds.

"Huai'an!" Li Shimin suddenly said, "How about I entrust both of my sons to you for education? Zhi'er is still young now, but when he grows up a bit, you can teach him to read and write. You can be their teacher, what do you say?"

Chen Huai'an was taken aback, but did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

"No problem. It is my honor that Your Majesty is willing to entrust the prince to me, and I naturally have no reason to refuse!"

"Hahaha, good!" Li Shimin was even happier. From Li Chengqian, he gradually discovered something: although Chen Huai'an was busy with affairs and did not teach Li Chengqian and the others much, Li Chengqian's change was enormous.

Chen Huai'an is quite suitable for teaching.

"Today is the day of the prince's birth, a day of great joy. It just so happens that the Duke of Yue heard a few days ago that Empress Zhangsun was pregnant and prepared a congratulatory gift. Why don't we present it to His Majesty at this time?" Chen Huai'an said with a smile.

"Oh?" Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Feng Ang. "Duke of Yue, you've prepared a congratulatory gift for me?"

At this moment, Feng Ang finally understood what Chen Huai'an meant by a good opportunity, and immediately said, "Yes, I have indeed prepared a congratulatory gift."

"However... there are quite a few, we'll probably have to send someone to transport them!"

Li Shimin's smile widened.
