Chapter 431: Another Son
Li Shimin ascended the throne as the emperor, and immediately implemented a series of policies to benefit the people, such as the thorough implementation of Yongyetian, the reduction of taxes again, the abolition of corporal punishment, etc., in addition, he also released a group of palace maids in the palace, so that they can marry and have children like ordinary women, this practice can not only allow him to win the hearts of the people, but also increase the population of some Tang Dynasty, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, in order to win the hearts of the world's scholars, Li Shimin announced that he would open Enke next year and take the imperial examination in advance, speaking of which, although the number of those scholars only accounts for a small part of the population of the Tang Dynasty, but they control the direction of public opinion.
Among the series of policies and reforms announced by Li Shimin, there is also a policy that is not too noticeable, that is, the imperial court decided to open a martial arts academy, and selected the children of nobles and young people with outstanding performance in the army to enter the martial arts academy to learn the art of war and martial arts.
The internal management structure of the Martial Arts Academy is almost transferred to several major academies, such as the internal establishment of a mountain chief, the prime minister's internal and external affairs, the first mountain chief is served by Li Jing, and Li Jing also compiled his own art of war into a book, as a teaching material for the Martial Academy.
Speaking of which, Li Jing was originally reluctant to serve as the head of the martial arts academy, and he was even more reluctant to contribute his art of war, but Li Shimin personally went to Li Jing's mansion to visit once, and then he agreed the next day.
Li Shimin had not yet ascended the throne when he visited Li Jing, but the day after he ascended the throne, he immediately announced a holy decree, that is, in order to reward the bearded guest from thousands of miles to bring sweet potatoes and corn and other high-yield crops from the Americas, he was specially named the king of the East China Sea.
The bearded guest has a good reputation and light fortune, and this matter is only known to people who are close to him, such as Li Xiu, such as Li Jing and the Red Whisker, and Li Jing has always respected the bearded guest very much, and even his art of war was taught to him by the bearded guest, so in the face of Li Shimin's exchange for helping the bearded guest become famous, he couldn't refuse at all.
The importance of the martial arts academy is only known to Li Xiu and Li Shimin, and it is mixed with a series of major policies and reforms after Li Shimin ascended the throne, and it is not very conspicuous at all, except for the military generals, few people will pay attention to this news, so the opening of the martial arts academy did not cause much sensation, but Li Xiu believes that with the passage of time, the martial arts academy will definitely shine.
It was also a month after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Pingyang's delivery date finally arrived, this morning, when Li Xiu was accompanying her to breakfast, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then he was sent to the delivery room, Li Xiu was also surprised and happy, while closely following outside the delivery room and waiting, while sending someone to invite Sun Simiao to come, mainly for fear of any accidents.
Although he had already had the experience of being a father last time, this time Li Xiu still felt anxious, feeling that the first second was a kind of torment, and at the same time he kept praying in his heart, no matter which immortal Buddha could bless Xiuning and their mother and son safely, he was willing to pay any price.
Maybe Li Xiu's prayers worked, maybe Princess Pingyang was in good health, and she was in the best childbearing age, so about two hours after entering the delivery room, there was a loud cry of a baby in the delivery room, which also lifted Li Xiu's spirits outside, and then saw the midwife push open the door and said to Li Xiu with a happy face: "Congratulations to the concubine, congratulations to the concubine, the princess gave birth to a son!" ”
"How's the princess?" Li Xiu didn't care about whether it was a son or a daughter at this time, but was very worried about the situation of Princess Pingyang.
"Don't worry, the princess is fine, the inside is being cleaned up, and you can enter to visit the princess when you get off the horse!" The midwife said with a happy face, the last time the lady was also delivered by her, although there were some accidents, but after all, the birth went smoothly, and she is still a son, and now she is a son, this is simply a great opportunity for her to promote her reputation, I am afraid that in the future, those noblewomen who want to give birth will compete for her to give birth.
"Haha~, great, reward!" Li Xiu heard that Princess Pingyang was safe and sound, and immediately laughed happily, and then Yuechan next to her picked up a heavy red envelope and stuffed it into the midwife's hand, but the midwife knew with her hand that it must be filled with gold leaves, which also made her old face smile even brighter.
Li Xiu naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the midwife, and when the inside was cleaned up, he was the first to rush in to visit Princess Pingyang's mother and son, but when he entered inside, he found that although Princess Pingyang's face was pale and the hair on her forehead was also wet with sweat, she was in good spirits, and when she saw him, she smiled a little proudly: "Husband, come and see, I'll say that our child must be a son!" ”
"Okay~, no matter if it's a son or a daughter, as long as you like it!" Li Xiu rushed to the bed at this time, grabbed Princess Pingyang's hand and said, just now he was really scared outside, for fear that there would be any accidents, even now, he grabbed Princess Pingyang's hand and was still trembling slightly.
Feeling the tremor in Li Xiu's hand, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but show him a reassuring smile, and then held Li Xiu's hand with both hands to help him slowly calm down. In fact, when she gave birth just now, she was also very scared, afraid that something would happen to her, causing the child to be in danger, and even more afraid that she would never see her husband again, but now it has passed, looking at her son who is sucking his fingers next to her, she feels that everything is worth it.
The warmth between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang did not last long, because Sun Simiao also came in, which was also Li Xiu's previous request, mainly because he was worried about the impact on Princess Pingyang after giving birth, so he asked Sun Simiao to come in to help Princess Pingyang diagnose, until Sun Simiao confirmed that Princess Pingyang's pulse was very stable, Li Xiu was completely relieved.
Within a year, even two dings, the family is also a jubilant appearance, Yi Niang also came to visit with Ping'an Lang, Yuechan commanded the family to be busy, Ma Ye then came, and brought a car of gifts, he was busy with the caravan before, and he came after receiving the news, as for these gifts are all sent by the old brothers in the caravan.
But on this happy day, Li Xiu also accompanied Princess Pingyang and her newborn son, and at the same time was worried about what kind of name to give this son? But at this moment, there was a somewhat unpleasant thing at home. (To be continued.) )
