Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

As the New Year is approaching, the entire Chang'an city seems to be shrouded in a strong atmosphere of joy.

The streets and alleys began to be decorated with lights and people's laughter and joy became more frequent, and the air was filled with the joyful atmosphere of welcoming the New Year.

With still a month to go, Fang Xuanling had already carefully submitted the new reign title to the cabinet.

The reign titles proposed by the learned men in the cabinet were almost all related to civil administration.

In their view, civil governance is the foundation of national prosperity and social stability. Using culture as a symbol seems to be able to demonstrate the Confucian style and profound heritage of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Chengqian was not satisfied with this.

He frowned slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He picked up the pen at his side and rejected the cabinet's memorial without hesitation.

Then, he turned his hand and wrote two big words on the rice paper - Qianwu!

Although according to common sense, the name of the new emperor should be avoided after he ascends the throne, this was drafted by Li Chengqian himself, so it is naturally not included in the list.

After finishing writing, he gently put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and said loudly: "Ananda."

Zhang Ananda had been waiting outside. When he heard the summons, he hurried in and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, his expression calm and dignified. "Please help me deliver this memorial from the cabinet to them, and also send this calligraphy along."

"Tell them that this is the new era name. I don't need a name that honors civility. I want a name that can demonstrate the military might of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Zhang Ananda respectfully took the memorial and letter from Li Chengqian with both hands and walked out in a hurry.

After reviewing today's memorials, Li Chengqian stretched lazily with some relaxation.

Before the cabinet was established, he was burdened with memorials every day, reviewing them almost from morning to night, and was often so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

With the establishment of a cabinet, many matters can be discussed and sorted out by the cabinet first, and he only needs to make the final decision, which really makes his life a lot easier.

Taking advantage of the bright sunshine today, Li Chengqian had an idea and decided to take a walk around the palace.

……

The harem is now very lively with many children.

Most of them were the younger generations left to him by Li Yuan. These children had special identities. Although they were younger generations, their status in the palace was very awkward because of Li Yuan.

A small number of them are my younger brothers and sisters.

I have been so busy lately that I have no time to take care of those trivial matters at home.

Now that I finally have some free time, it's time to pay more attention to the harem.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his servants to prepare a lot of toys and snacks that children would like, and even brought the latest milk candy developed by Qianyu Chamber of Commerce.

These things were usually very popular among children in the palace. Even the usually steady Li Zhi found it difficult to resist the temptation of milk candy, and he would send people to ask his royal brother for them every now and then.

However, considering that eating too much sugar is bad for children's teeth, Li Chengqian usually only gave Li Zhi an appropriate amount of milk candy per month and never gave him more.

After preparing everything, Li Chengqian led a team of young eunuchs and walked towards the harem.

The harem is now very different from the past, and most of the former concubines have found their own homes.

Concubines with children were granted the title of imperial concubine and could leave the palace with their children to enjoy a comfortable life outside the palace.

Most of those who did not have children went to Ganye Temple and spent the rest of their lives beside the ancient Buddhas and green lamps. Now they should have their own lives.

……

The harem at this time was more like a large kindergarten, filled with children's laughter and joy.

Li Chengqian also had a headache with those younger elders.

Li Yuan left behind so many children, and when they grew up, they would all be made kings or princesses.

This was undoubtedly a huge expense for the imperial court.

It seems that I still need to discuss a good and appropriate solution with Mr. Qi to find a good way out for these children.

It's sunny today. Although it's still cold, it's much better than before.

The maids took the children to the garden to play.

The entire harem was filled with the noise of children, their laughter and playfulness intertwined.

Li Chengqian came with a large group of eunuchs and maids, attracting everyone's attention for a moment.

The children all knew who was wearing the gorgeous dragon robe, and a few impatient children ran over hurriedly.

Some of the faster runners came up to Li Chengqian and called out in baby voices, "Hello, Your Majesty!"

But when they looked up, their eyes were filled with doubts.

This Majesty seems to be different from the previous Majesty.

Some children bit their fingers, as if trying to figure out why His Majesty had changed.

Li Chengqian didn't mind the children's gazes and didn't explain the reason to them.

He just touched his "little uncle" in front of him with a loving look on his face and said: "I brought you some delicious food and fun things, do you want them?"

The children were still confused, but when they heard Li Chengqian's words, they all started dancing with joy.

"Ah! His Majesty brought us food and fun!"

Some even jumped up in excitement.

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, asking the eunuchs and maids behind him to distribute toys and snacks to them.

He also specifically reminded: "Everyone has one toy, no fighting over it, pick the one you like."

These toys are also produced by Qianyu Chamber of Commerce. There are many categories, such as building blocks, exquisite carriages, and cute dress-up dolls...

Every child's eyes lit up when they saw so many novel toys.

Li Chengqian smiled and walked out from the group of children.

Behind them were some "big kids" who rushed out after hearing the noise.

They were all over ten years old, headed by Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi saw Li Chengqian coming, he hurried over and bowed to him, saying, "Royal brother!"

Two timid little girls followed Li Zhi, and one of them called Li Zhi "Brother Emperor".

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he saw the two little girls behind Li Zhi.

Quickly and gently pushed Li Zhi aside.

He spoke affectionately to the two little girls.

"Sizi, Ayuan, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you still remember me? I come to play with you every New Year."

Li Mingda and Li Jiming nodded obediently: "Remember my royal brother!"

Li Mingda had been granted the power of Princess Jinyang by Li Shimin. She was smart and clever. She was brought up by Li Shimin himself since childhood and was deeply loved by him.

Li Jiming has not yet been enfeoffed, but he is innocent and lovable.

If we were to talk about Li Shimin’s most beloved children, it would have to be Li Mingda in front of us.

Seeing Li Chengqian, Li Mingda's eyes were full of anticipation. He raised his head, looked at Li Chengqian's chin and asked, "Royal brother, they told me that Aye will not come back. Is what they said true?"

Li Mingda had barely finished speaking when eight-year-old Li Jiming interrupted her in a childish voice, "Big Sizi! Of course they lied to you! Aye loves us so much! Why wouldn't he come back to see us?"

Li Jiming looked at Li Mingda seriously, as if to say that what he said was absolutely true.

Li Mingda continued to look at Li Chengqian seriously, as if waiting for his brother's answer.

Li Zhi looked at the three of them with a heavy face. He had never dared to tell his two sisters about his father's affairs.

Every time he looked at their innocent big eyes, Li Zhi thought that he could hide it for a while, because they would understand when they grew up.

Li Zhi gave Li Chengqian a pleading look, hoping that his brother would not burst the beautiful fantasies in the hearts of his two sisters.

But Li Chengqian simply ignored his gaze and continued gently, "Of course Aye will come back to see you! You two are so adorable, Aye must be missing you so much! Can I take you to see Aye during the New Year?"

Li Chengqian gently rubbed the heads of his two sisters, one in each hand.

Li Zhi widened his eyes, seeing that the New Year was approaching, and his brother said so, he was not afraid of being regarded as a dishonest person in the eyes of his two sisters.

What if these two sisters can’t see their father during the Chinese New Year!

It will really make you sad!

Li Zhi pursed his lips, seemed to be about to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

When the two little girls heard that their royal brother had promised them, they held hands and laughed happily, "We can see Aye during the New Year!"
