In May of the ninth year of Zhenguan, there was no laughter in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin, who was in the midst of "grief", refused the request of the ministers to "look at military affairs", and instead asked the crown prince Li Chengqian to start handling government affairs in the East Palace. Even after more than ten days, Tuyuhun was pacified, and its king Murong Shunguang was captured by the Tang Dynasty, which was worthy of great celebration, was handled by the imperial court in a low-key manner.

The emperor's posture of ignoring government affairs lasted for a full seven hundred and forty-nine days.

In late June, after the ministers asked Li Shimin to take charge of the government again, he finally agreed. However, because Li Chengqian is quite capable, some small matters are still handed over to him to deal with, which can be regarded as the beginning of the prince's official entry into the political arena.

For the next two months, the entire court seemed to revolve around the death of the Emperor.

Li Shimin listened to the advice of the ministers, and according to Li Yuan's intentions, he did not build a large number of buildings, but "simply" built a mausoleum, and prepared to bury the emperor in October. However, during this period, there were wars such as the invasion of the party and the rebellion of the Qiang people, as well as Gao Yongsheng's false accusation of Li Jing, which opened the prelude to the Tang Dynasty military gods closing their doors and closing their doors.

There is another thing that has something to do with Li Yuanjia, that is, Fang Xuanling added the three divisions of Fuyi and the same department, and his prestige has taken a step further.

Although he could not return to Chang'an during this period, Li Yuanjia still began to keep filial piety for his parents in Luzhou. According to the ancient rules, it was a full twenty-seven months, during which there were no banquets, no foreign affairs, no sexual intercourse, and so on. Even Han Shan and the others think it's okay - if you think about it, it's almost the same as before!

As the No. 1 otaku in Datang, Li Yuanjia said that there is no pressure to keep filial piety.

Moreover, Li Yuanjia also resigned from the post of Luzhou Assassin and tightly closed the door of the Luzhou Bureau. After all, even the emperor had to "strike" for forty-nine days according to the custom, let alone a prince who held a vacant position?

Naturally, I resigned directly, without hesitation!

Merely......

"If you think about it, it's actually an opportunity."

On the hottest day in August, after drinking a glass of cold juice carefully squeezed by spring cigarettes, Li Yuanjia sat in his study and pondered.

Not entertaining and socializing does not mean that Li Yuanjia does nothing every day.

After all, it's twenty-seven months, and if you really have to stay in your own room every day and eat and wait for death, that person is not bored to death? So after closing the door of the government office, Li Yuanjia is almost the same as before, anyway, in the eyes of others, his daily life as a prince is almost no different from that of filial piety - he doesn't like to drink, he doesn't like to feast, and even the beauties around him don't move, so that some people have wondered if he can't be humane.

Of course, if someone dares to make a precedent in front of Li Yuanjia, he will definitely do it directly and beat that guy with a peach blossom face!

The fart is inhumane!

Only Li Yuanjia himself knows that he doesn't have any special diseases, let alone dislike women, it's just that in this era when the beauties around him are at his fingertips, he doesn't want to use the impulse of his lower body to decide a woman's voice.

For example, spring smoke, for example, willow eyebrows.

They are not beautiful, nor are they gentle and lovely, but although Li Yuanjia has also had physical impulses towards them, he has no love between men and women. If he takes them into the account, can he really guarantee to stay with the two girls for the rest of his life? If the future lady of the Fang family brought her own maid, would she allow such a thing to exist? Will they be like everyone else, just throw them aside like rags?

Li Yuanjia has seen too many of these things.

Don't forget, his son is Li Yuan, the emperor who has no love after being forced to retire from the throne, and relies on beautiful women to anesthetize himself every day! And after the relationship between father and son in Zhenguan was reconciled in the fourth year, in order to please his father, Li Shimin also asked him to try his best to send beautiful women to the palace......

Otherwise, where did Li Yuanjia get so many younger brothers and sisters?

However, whether it is in the history books or in reality, people only care about Li Yuan, whether he is already sad at this time, or is he indulgent, but who cares about the beauties who are sent to the palace? They may have spent just one night with the Emperor and then been abandoned; or lucky enough to give birth to a boy and a half girl, and finally have the capital to settle down, but in any case, Li Yuanjia doesn't feel how happy their lives are.

So after he really came out of the cabinet, Li Yuanjia warned himself countless times that if he couldn't give them to them, he wouldn't provoke them.

Just like Chunyan and Liu Mei, if there is someone they like or a suitable candidate in the future, Li Yuanjia will marry them off, and be loved and cared for by her husband for the rest of her life, wouldn't it be much better than following her for a lifetime?

Therefore, before his eldest wife, that is, the future princess, entered the door, Li Yuanjia did not plan to provoke women, and now he will not be during the period of filial piety. And if you calculate it, after keeping these twenty-seven months of filial piety, the daughter of the Fang family should be exactly seventeen or eighteen years old, at least better than marrying into the door at the age of fifteen, right?

Well, that's a long way off.

In short, in addition to writing something in the study every day, Li Yuanjia is actually not idle, and spends a lot of time staring at the craftsmen in the house, or caring about Li Zhong and the five of them and the three teenagers who are newly "enrolled".

It was the papermaking workshop that stopped, which made him feel a little pity.

But there is no way, after all, the emperor has just died, and you, who is a son, are still selling things to make money during the period of filial piety, so it's not a thing. Li Yuanjia was not afraid of what others said, but he couldn't ignore Emperor Li Shimin's thoughts and his uncle Yu Wenshi's attitude.

When he was writing with a pen just now, Li Yuanjia suddenly thought of the medical books he had collected, and thought of his current situation - in just one month, his father and mother both died. It is impossible for me to choose a career because of this, but I ......

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and slapped the table and shouted, "Someone! ”

"Squeak" for a lifetime, Chunyan pushed open the door of the house and walked in: "King, what do you command?" ”

"Where's Old Han? Let him come to me! ”

After a while, when Han Shan hurriedly walked into the study, Li Yuanjia couldn't wait to say: "Old Han, immediately send an order down and order them to step up the collection of medical books!" Especially those medical books from the West, I have stepped up the collection, and now I have too few here......"

……

Li Yuanjia had a dull life in Luzhou, but in Chang'an City, thousands of miles away, some people were also thinking about him.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Frowning tightly, Fang Xuanling, who had just been promoted, persuaded with a worried expression: "Although the king is self-cultivation and self-purification, he is the same inside and outside, but after all, he is ......."

"Okay, Fang Aiqing!"

Without waiting for Fang Xuanling to finish speaking, Li Shimin had already waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I have already made up my mind, Aiqing doesn't need to say much." Let's prepare for the rest as I say, and start ...... in the first month of next year."
