Chapter 1152 If you want to inherit the throne, you must first live a long time

The budget plan for fiscal expenditure for the 11 th year of Xuanping can be regarded as quite special among the budget plans for fiscal expenditure in previous years, because everyone is not satisfied with the military or the cabinet, or in detail with the various agencies.

In the final analysis, it was the psychological bottom line they had agreed on before that was 85 million taels of silver, but in the end, the Son of Heaven Li Xuan was limited to 80 million taels of silver, which caused a fierce conflict between the various institutions around the distribution of the 8,000 taels of silver, but the conflict was useless, if everyone agreed to this plan, then it was impossible to say that one or several of them suffered losses, and the others were unscathed.

If this is the case, whether it is a military representative like Admiral Lei Wan or a secretary like Ma Wei, people dare to directly turn around and withdraw from the negotiations.

So in the end, there was really no choice but to share the gap of five million taels of silver together.

However, after Li Xuan saw the financial expenditure budget plan sent by Liu Bagou, he showed a satisfied expression!

Even if it's too noisy, it's not 80 million taels of silver!

In this way, there is a great probability that we will be able to obtain a fiscal surplus of about 6 million taels of silver next year, and there will be no need to issue any treasury bonds, thus effectively curbing the fiscal deficit.

The extra six million taels of silver can be used as emergency funds, and if a war breaks out or a large-scale disaster breaks out, there will be money for emergency response, instead of every time a flood or drought breaks out in a place, as in previous years, it is necessary to scrape together enough disaster relief funds.

Now that it's okay, with six million taels of silver in hand, it also gives Li Xuan more confidence!

Curbing the fiscal deficit is Li Xuan's bottom line for Xuanping's eleven years of financial work!

He didn't want the deficit to continue, and eventually lead to a complete financial bankruptcy, which would be a huge blow to the stability of the empire.

After the financial expenditure budget allocation plan is completed, it also represents the end of the ten years of Xuanping!

In the next few days, the overall situation remained calm, and most of the excerpts Li Xuan saw were New Year's greetings sent by courtiers!

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the practice of previous years, the Holy Son of Heaven held a state banquet for the Spring Festival, banqueting representatives such as courtiers, nobles, and famous gentry entrepreneurs!

The Spring Festival state banquet, which is already a tradition of the Tang Empire, is held once a year, and this year is no exception.

And this kind of thing that has become a routine also has a whole set of processes, and Li Xuan is too lazy to worry about it.

After eating the state banquet outside, Li Xuan returned to the harem, and there was still a family banquet waiting for him in the harem!

The royal family banquet, the number of people is naturally not comparable to the state banquet outside, and there are only about 100 people, well, most of them are Li Xuan's concubines!

Of course, ordinary concubines naturally have no sense of existence, only Li Xuan's mother Queen Mother Bai has a sense of existence, and then there is Queen Dong, the biological mother of more than a dozen princes and princesses, but the biological mothers of these nine princes and princesses, not everyone has a sense of existence, such as the mother of the fourth princess and the concubine, this person's sense of existence is not good, sitting in the corner.

Because the concubines were not from the Central Plains, but from the Goryeo, in the eighth year of Xuanping, the Tang Dynasty entered the Goryeo Peninsula, and after the Tang Dynasty entered the Goryeo Peninsula, they directly destroyed the remnants of the resistance of the Goryeo natives, and then divided the Goryeo Peninsula into four prefectures and directly included them in the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province.

Although before the Tang Dynasty entered the Goryeo Peninsula, the Li family of the Goryeo Peninsula had been arrested by the former Ming Hui King, and Liujing City was slaughtered before it was broken, but the Goryeo Peninsula has maintained a fairly high degree of independence for hundreds of years, such as the Ming Dynasty, and although the Yuan Dynasty was once ruled, it also maintained a high degree of independence.

There is no problem at all in making them vassal states, but they are directly incorporated into the native country, and they are still resisted by many natives!

In the subsequent process of resettlement and repression, many indigenous people resisted, making the process of integration a little difficult for immigrants, in order to alleviate the resistance of local aborigines, but also to promote the marriage policy.

Li Xuante underground aimed to enter the palace with a number of draft girls in Goryeo.

Selecting show girls from unstable areas or some specific groups to enter the palace to show appeasement, this is also an old method commonly used by Li Xuan, he has played many times during the unification war, and naturally he will not fall behind when he is on the Goryeo Peninsula.

The concubine is a Goryeo show girl who entered the palace in the eighth year of Xuanping.

After this Goryeo show girl entered the palace, her luck was really, it was so good that Li Xuan was just pampered by routine when she first entered the palace, and she became pregnant!

You must know that Li Xuan's body still has some problems, in the words of later generations, the sperm survival rate is a little low, well, very low, if you want to get a harem woman pregnant, you often need to be pampered many times frequently. Otherwise, there are many women in the palace, Li Xuan also likes to do that, and likes the new and hates the old, and the concubines in the harem will not be stupid enough to use contraception.

If it were a normal person, it is estimated that the children would have broken 100 years ago!

There will be only four sons and five daughters there!

After becoming pregnant and giving birth to the fourth daughter of the emperor, she was awarded the title of concubine, but her status was still not high.

Because Li Xuan likes the new and hates the old, and his vision is getting higher and higher, don't expect him to be able to pamper him for the second time, although the appearance and figure of this concubine are also the best choice, but there is still a gap between her and several other people, such as Concubine Kang, the gap is not limited to appearance and body, and her talent is not good.

In the past few years, Li Xuan's favorite concubine is still the third son of the emperor Li Xuan (suo third voice) biological mother Song Kang Fei, this Song family is the real Jiangnan scholarly family daughter, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are extremely good in all aspects, not to mention the unique temperament of everyone's ladies, and this person is also very good at dancing, well, the kind that takes off clothes.

There is also a blow job stunt, it is also very pleasant to listen to her play a song when she has nothing to do, and after listening to the song, she can also continue to taste Li Xuan's meat flute.

Such a woman must have a good look, a figure, a temperament, a talent, and a unique dance and flute skills, so she is naturally favored by Li Xuan.

Although Concubine Kang is favored by Li Xuan and has a good status in the palace, she still has to look at the faces of several other women in the palace.

The first one is naturally the Empress Dowager Bai, she is Li Xuan's wife, sitting in the harem with the dignity of the Empress Dowager, and even Queen Dong, the mother of the country, is in front of her, she is as well-behaved as a little sheep.

The second is Empress Dong, as the mother of the Tang Empire, the only queen who has been canonized by formal ceremonies, although the Empress Dowager Bai has also been a queen, but the empire was first built in the era of the first emperor, the conditions are simple, and there has been no formal canonization ceremony, so strictly speaking, Empress Dong is the only queen in the Tang Empire who has undergone a formal canonization ceremony.

In addition, Queen Dong is also Li Xuan's many concubines, the only one who has given birth to three children in a row, and the other women are all only one child, Queen Dong gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor in her early years, the third daughter of the emperor, and in the ninth year of Xuanping, she finally lived up to expectations and gave birth to a handle, that is, the fourth son of the emperor Li Wei (hao fourth tone, with Hao).

The Tang Empire is still a traditional feudal dynasty, although so far, Li Xuan has not clearly stipulated whether the succession system of the throne is the eldest system or the meritocracy system, but the current noble inheritance system of the Tang Dynasty is a typical elder system, and if a nobleman has a son-in-law, the empire will not approve the status of the nobleman's concubine, let alone inherit the title.

This also means that with the current Tang Empire's prior aristocratic inheritance system, Li Wei, the fourth son of the emperor born to Empress Dong, although he is only a little more than a year old, he can't even speak, and he likes to crawl all over the ground, and he will most likely be the future crown prince of the empire and the heir to the throne of Li Xuan.

As for the probability that other princes will be able to inherit the throne, it is not big for the time being.

Of course, it is quite difficult for a child at this age to grow up healthily, even if it is royal, even if Li Xuan has done all the protective means, whether it is the delivery room or postnatal care, etc., all of them are at the highest level he can do, basically they are all fully disinfected, and all kinds of recipes and prescriptions need to be reviewed by him, but even so, this kind of thing is inevitable.

There were two difficult births in the early years, and at the end of last year, Li Xuan lost the first child in the two lives, and the fifth daughter of the emperor died a month after she was born!

In the face of this kind of thing, Li Xuan was also very helpless, a large group of imperial doctors and even the teachers and students of the medical department of the Royal Institute of Technology were all helpless.

Birth, old age, sickness and death caused by the lack of medical conditions will not be changed because he is the emperor.

Now, no one dares to guarantee that even Li Xuan himself does not dare to guarantee that his children will be able to grow up safely.

In this environment, among the four princes currently in Li Xuan, it is really uncertain who will inherit the throne in the end.

In case Li Xuan lives long enough to be seventy or eighty years old, then Li Xuan may have his sons alive, and in the end he will be able to inherit the throne, not to mention the others, but he must be the prince who is still alive at that time!

Many emperors in history actually became emperors because they were born late and lived long enough, Jiaqing is the most obvious example, this person was born late, when he was born, many brothers have been boiled alive by Qianlong.

When Qianlong wanted to establish the prince in old age and let Chan let him, only six of Qianlong's seventeen sons were still alive, two of them were passed on to the side branch clan, and only four people were left to compete with Jiaqing, these four people were all waste materials in Qianlong's opinion, if there were other people, Qianlong didn't want to stand any of them, but there was no way, there were only four people left.

Therefore, the tallest one can only be selected from the short ones, which is why Jiaqing can inherit the throne!

Li Xuan doesn't know how long he can live, but although his own body is not too strong, it is relatively healthy, although he is indulgent, he has also been restrained in recent years, and he will not be too transitional, and at the same time, he has begun to deliberately exercise and recuperate his body.

He thought that he would be able to live to be forty or fifty years old, and that if he was lucky, he might not be able to live to be sixty or seventy.

In this case, he really has a great probability of surviving some of his older sons.

Therefore, whether the four princes here can inherit the throne or not, no one can say for sure, Li Xuan himself is not sure!
