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

When Li Chengqian announced the new law, everyone knew that once this law was truly implemented, the sensational effect it would cause would instantly sweep across the entire Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is the bustling streets of Chang'an or the remote corners of the countryside, people's lives will undergo earth-shaking changes because of this law.

Li Chengqian's expression showed a calmness, and he didn't care at all about the storm that was about to be set off.

In his eyes, there was a glint of far-reaching plans for the future of the country.

If we want to achieve a real population explosion and fundamentally change the marriage structure of society, we have no choice but to implement the system of monogamy without concubines.

Those wealthy and powerful people, relying on their strong financial resources and prominent status, wantonly possessed a large number of women of marriageable age. However, due to the majesty of the wife and the complex family conflicts, many women often found it difficult to conceive.

In contrast, ordinary people, although their living conditions are simple, the couple support each other and devote themselves to their family. In the simple life of monogamy, they manage their own lives carefully and have a relatively high chance of having children.

Looking around today, there are many bachelors in the Tang Dynasty. They work in the fields and run around in the market, but they cannot start a family and reproduce because they lack a partner.

However, there is still a huge gap between the country's population and its vast territory, which undoubtedly seriously restricted the development of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Chengqian is not unaware of the desires in human nature and the complexity of reality.

He also had to make some compromises regarding the concubine system.

Women of other ethnic groups were temporarily excluded from this strict legal restriction due to differences in culture, customs and many other factors.

After all, it is almost impossible to completely put an end to the practice of rich people secretly keeping concubines.

In this complex world, the emotions and relationships between men and women are sometimes difficult to be completely restricted by law. Those unions that are consensual, even without a formal status, often happen quietly in secret corners.

Although Li Chengqian was the emperor, he felt powerless in the face of this powerful and stubborn social atmosphere.

It is difficult to completely reverse this situation in a short period of time by relying on one's own strength.

Although it is impossible to make everyone strictly abide by the law and achieve true fairness, we should at least create a fair situation on the surface so that the implementation of the law can have a relatively smooth start and not cause too much social unrest.

At this time, there was silence in the Liangyi Hall. Wang Gui, an important official of the court, frowned and had doubts about this law in his heart.

He wanted to open his mouth to refute several times, but he swallowed the words back helplessly.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, which official did not have many wives and concubines at home?

Now that Your Majesty has proposed this reform, how can they have the face to openly refute it?

The most important thing is that there is only one queen in your majesty's harem.

Your Majesty sets an example by not indulging in women and devotes all his energy to governing the country.

In this case, if these ministers continue to complain and oppose this law, wouldn’t it seem too narrow-minded?

Putting aside the troublesome issue of laws concerning people's livelihood, the railway laying project in the Tang Dynasty is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and behind it lies the strategic layout of the Tang Dynasty.

The railway extends all the way to the northwest, straight towards the vast land of Xinjiang.

Anyone with a discerning eye can discern your Majesty's profound meaning with just a little attention.

On the other side of Xinjiang, it is connected to the Arab Empire.

This step-by-step layout is undoubtedly announcing to the world that the next target of the Tang Dynasty is the Arab Empire.

As for when exactly the action will be taken against him, no one in the court knows.

But given His Majesty Li Chengqian's decisive and resolute character, this day will probably not be too far away.

Perhaps in the near future, the Tang Dynasty's cavalry will march westward, raising clouds of dust.

Li Chengqian, who had been busy with government affairs all day, dragged his exhausted body and slowly walked towards the Lizheng Hall.

Along the way, his mind was still constantly thinking about various things, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

The moment he stepped into the Lizheng Hall, the warm scene before him was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the haze in his heart.

I saw Su Zhi and Li Jingyi, mother and daughter, sitting in front of the exquisite carved table, happily enjoying the small cakes on the table.

Li Jingyi just turned two years old this year, which is the best age for playing.

She has learned to walk steadily. At this moment, she has two playful and cute little buns on her head, and a few strands of hair hang down mischievously on both sides of her cheeks, making her round face look like a pink peach blossom.

Li Jingyi was eating with great interest when he suddenly looked up and saw Li Chengqian walking into the hall.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and without hesitation, she put down the cake she hadn't finished. Her chubby little hands waved happily in the air, and she ran towards Li Chengqian with unsteady steps, laughing all the way, calling out in a baby voice, "Father, Father, the pears are spicy!"

Li Chengqian looked at his daughter's adorable appearance, and his heart was instantly filled with joy. All the fatigue of the day seemed to disappear at this moment.

He walked quickly forward with an indulgent smile on his face, not caring at all about the pastry crumbs on his daughter's hands, and directly hugged her in his arms.

Li Chengqian intimately brought his face close to Li Jingyi, gently nuzzled her delicate little face, and asked softly, "My lovely little Yi, what have you been doing today?"

Li Jingyi frowned slightly, stretched out her little hand and pushed Li Chengqian's face hard, mumbling: "Father, pierce, pierce! No, no!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh at his daughter's disgusted look. He raised his hand, gently touched his beard, and deliberately teased her, "Did your father prick you?"

Li Jingyi nodded seriously, and his serious look made people laugh.

After a while, Li Jingyi seemed to suddenly remember something. His big black eyes rolled around a few times, then he put his arm around Li Chengqian's neck and said coquettishly, "Father, I want Li to take me out to play."

"The Queen Mother also wants to play with it."

Li Chengqian smiled secretly in his heart. This little girl was so smart at such a young age. She knew how to drag her mother to "take the blame" for him. She was really smart.

Thinking of his son Li Jingyou who was two years old and was still ignorant and only knew how to cry and play, Li Chengqian couldn't help but kiss Li Jingyi's fair face again. Although he received an even more disgusted expression from his daughter, Li Chengqian didn't care at all.

He carried Li Jingyi to Su Zhi's side, looked at her slightly aggrieved expression, and asked softly, "Is Lingxi'er bored in the palace?"

Su Zhi curled her lips slightly, leaned on Li Chengqian like a spoiled child as usual, and whispered, "Brother Qian, it's so boring in the palace. When can we go out and play?"

Li Chengqian gently held Su Zhi with one hand and held his daughter tightly with the other hand, feeling this warm moment and feeling very comfortable in his heart.

Su Zhi was just expressing her inner feelings and was not really blaming him. She knew how busy His Majesty was.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian gently touched Su Zhi's head and said softly: "Next month, I will definitely take you out to play."
