Large.

Prince's Mansion.

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

After Li Yan's unremitting efforts for more than 20 years, Li Yan now has more than 1,700 children (including more than 900 sons and more than 700 daughters), and this is only the number of surviving children.

But—

Although Li Yan has many children, there are actually not many adult sons - all added together, there are actually only more than 200.

Moreover, many of Li Yan's more than 200 sons are not in Yanjing now - since Li Cun suffered from that serious illness, Li Yan has scattered all his sons who have a career in various regions to experience in various positions.

Therefore, there are not many adult sons of Li Yan who are now in Beijing, and there are only more than fifty in total.

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

Before Li Cun arrived, Li Yan's second son Li Ang (Liu Huiniang's second son to Li Derivation, that is, Li Cun's younger brother of the same father and mother), said to the princes: "Have you heard that my father defeated the Mongols on the Horqin steppe, and after Tatar, the Taichi Wubu was also destroyed by my father. ”

Li Xu, Li Ang's younger brother of the same father and mother, heard this, and immediately echoed: "Why haven't you heard of it, I also heard that my father took away the sixteen-year-old Kedun and a group of concubines and the four daughters of the Khan of Thaichi Ubu, and dozens of people have been added to the harem of my father. ”

Li Yan has many sons, among whom there are such excellent as Li Cun, and naturally there are also Li Ang and Li Xu...... How to say it, I don't know if it's because Liu Huiniang put too much energy on cultivating Li Cun, and as a result, the qualifications of her other two sons Li Ang and Li Xu are very mediocre, and the two of them don't have any big ambitions.

In this regard, Liu Huiniang and Li Cun have tried to change, wanting Li Ang and Li Xu to be more progressive, but Liu Huiniang and Li Cun have too many things, 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, and acquiesced to Li Ang and Li Xu becoming ordinary.

But—

After all, Li Ang and Li Xu are Li Yan's sisters-in-law, so they got the throne early and became two free kings, and they were not happy.

King Xiaoyao has no quarrel with the world, and in addition, Li Ang and Li Xu are Li Yan's sisters-in-law and the younger brothers of the crown prince Li Cun, so they are very popular and are willing to laugh and get close to other brothers.

Therefore, listening to Li Ang and Li Xu talk about Li Yan's great victory on the grassland and plundering other people's wives and daughters, many princes who are like-minded with Li Xu want to come over and echo Li Xu.

But before they could get to Li Xu's side, a stern voice sounded: "The son doesn't say anything about the father, and the minister doesn't say anything about the king, so please be cautious with the eighty-seventh brother!" ”

Li Xu They don't have to look at it, they also know that it must be Liang Hongyu's first son Li Yan who gave Li Derivation to say this.

This Li Yan is definitely an alternative among their brothers - it may be influenced by Liang Hongyu, who is in charge of the punishment of the harem, Li Yan has always been meticulous and selfless in his work since he was a child, and he even relied on his own efforts, in just a few years, he has achieved the position of the main book of Dali Temple step by step.

After Li Yan discovered Li Yan's difference, and during that time, many of Li Yan's sons were very troublesome, and Li Yan couldn't manage it himself, so he ordered someone to make a bamboo whip with five big characters written on it, "Specializing in beating unfilial sons", and gave it to Li Yan, so that Li Yan could help him manage his sons.

In principle, Li Yan can even fight Li Cun.

Such a Li Yan is naturally something that Li Xu does not dare to provoke.

But—

Not everyone is afraid of Li Yan.

Chen Liqing is the son of Li derivation, that is, Li Yan's second son (Li Yan's eldest son) Li Wei, he is not afraid of Li Yan, he said: "The fifty-ninth brother is a little too serious, the world knows, the father likes beautiful women, and the world can't help but say that he is an old man's preference, the father often hangs on the lips of a sentence is, 'right and wrong have their own descendants to comment', it can be seen that the father's open-mindedness, and we brothers who don't know, the father is with us, and he will always talk about beauties, so the fifty-ninth brother should not be too serious." ”

Li Wei dared to scold Li Yan, not only because Li Wei was only one year younger than Li Cun and older than everyone else, but also because Li Wei had excellent military merits - it may have inherited her mother Chen Liqing's belligerent genes, Li Wei has been good at martial arts since he was a child, Chen Liqing also vigorously supported his son to learn martial arts and found countless famous teachers for his son, so that Li Wei practiced a good martial arts, the key is that Li Wei is as natural as his parents, and he can even barely dance Li Yan's mixed iron dragon stick now, later, Li Yan allowed his son to go to various regions to start training from the grassroots level, Li Wei chose to go to the army, and then successively participated in the battle to unify the Indochina Peninsula, the battle to recover the Western Xia, and the land fight to recover Tibet, and made a lot of military exploits in these battles, and finally rose to the position of commander with his military merits, if it were not for the fact that he was not lightly injured in the battle to recover Tibet, now Li Wei should go with Li Yan to conquer Dajin and the Mongolian tribes.

In addition, Li Wei has the most brothers (Chen Liqing gave Li Yan a total of seven sons, and they were lucky to survive), the key is that their seven brothers are all very belligerent, each has strong martial arts, and they are also very grouped, and then their seven brothers have become one of Li Yan's sons, and they bully other brothers from time to time, because of this matter, their seven brothers have been beaten by Chen Liqing since they were young, and the more they beat them, the more skinny they became, so Li Yan's bamboo whip has a deterrent effect on others, and for Li Wei's brothers, it is like a commonplace.

By the way, Li Wei's six siblings were all thrown into the army by Li Yan for training, and now, except for the injured Li Wei, the other six all went with Li Yan to conquer Dajin and the Mongolian tribes.

Seeing Li Wei jump out, Li Yan's brows were furrowed!

However, without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Li Maung, who was full of elegance, got up and bowed to Li Wei, and then said without being humble or arrogant: "The second brother is surprised by this, the reason why people are different from beasts is that father and son are related, monarchs and ministers are righteous, husbands and wives are different, young and old are orderly, and friends have letters. ”

Li Maung is Cheng Wan'er's second son to Li Derivation, although this kid is not very old, but he is definitely a talented eight buckets, he once went to participate in the imperial examination anonymously, and even gave Li Yan the first time to take the examination, if it wasn't for the palace examination, Li Yan deliberately pressed him, with his talent, he was the champion of the imperial examination.

Moreover, Li Maung believed in Confucianism very much, so he was very respected by literati and writers, and even many great Confucians of the time publicly praised Li Maung.

Li Wei is not afraid of Li Yan, but he is afraid of Li Maung - Li Maung and the group of literati behind him can not only argue, Li Wei can't say anything about them at all, the key is that they also like to magnify some small things, and then bite tightly, standing on the height of morality to criticize Li Wei, making it really difficult for Li Wei to deal with, therefore, Li Wei would rather face thousands of troops on the battlefield, or face Li Yan's bamboo whip, than fight with Li Maung and their literati.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Li Maung standing up and was about to roll up his sleeves and have a good argument with himself, Li Wei hurriedly sounded the gong and withdrew his troops: The second master won't play with you!

At this time, Li Ji, that is, Hua Baoyan's eldest son to Li Derivation, got up and became a peacemaker, and said: "Okay, okay, let's go over this matter, it's really wrong for the son to discuss the father and the minister to discuss the king, but we don't need to make the gathering between our brothers so serious, huh...... Let's talk about why the emperor called us all over, right? ”
