Why is the crown prince of the feudal dynasty called the national capital, because with an heir like the crown prince, it will greatly dispel the careerists' thoughts about the throne, otherwise, people's hearts will fluctuate, and they will think that if Li Xuan is killed, can they also go up and sit on the emperor's throne?

But if Li Xuan had an heir, then everything would be different, and at that time, even if Li Xuan died, but those courtiers still had objects to be loyal to, then Li Xuan's son was still just a baby!

Even if those courtiers want to protect their vested interests, or simply play some kind of blackmail to the princes, some of them will choose to stand on the side of the young lord and fight against the rebellious careerists.

It's just that Li Xuan's health has not been very good in the past few years, and those imperial doctors have recuperated Li Xuan's body for a few years, and it can be regarded as slowly improving, and then Li Xuan has worked hard for so long that Queen Dong Yunyun became pregnant.

And this, in fact, is also the reason why Empress Dowager Bai directly sent her most combat-effective henchman Xia Ma to Dong Yunyun's side after Dong Yunyun became pregnant, this Xia Ma is the first master in the harem, strong and strong, walking like flying, when she fled with Princess Huichen weighing 100 pounds on her back, it was like flying, walking for more than ten miles without blinking!

This person has also carried Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun!

Although Dong Yunyun is pregnant, Li Xuan feels that it is still not enough insurance, what if she is born with a daughter? Don't expect a princess to become the heir of Datang, if this is feasible, then Princess Huichen, who is continuing to climb in weight, can also be the heir of Datang.

But in reality?

No way!

Princess Huichen's presence in the Tang Dynasty, and even in the Tang Dynasty harem is very low, and even the Empress Dowager Bai didn't put much thought into her, otherwise, Princess Huichen's tonnage would not continue to climb to new heights!

In order to prevent Dong Yunyun from giving birth to a daughter, Li Xuan has been at the forefront of consolidating the country's capital recently, and after dealing with government affairs every day, he is either circling among the many concubines in the harem, or watching the thigh era dance!

It's been busy for a month, but Li Xuan is not lightly tired, but he doesn't know if he has made any achievements in his mood cultivation in the past month!

Alas, it's still quite difficult to have an heir!

Well, if the courtiers don't believe that Li Xuan is running around among the harem ladies for the sake of the country, then Li Xuan doesn't care anymore!

I'm just having fun, what's the matter?

Do you have the ability to bite me?

In the past few years, I have spent so many embarrassing and precarious days, and finally I have the current situation, and I still don't want to let me be a girl?

Thinking of the rush and worry in the past few years, Li Xuan just felt that it was not easy for him to be an emperor, and he couldn't help himself without a hundred and eighty girls.

So his current thoughts are: I watch a dance, you are also crooked, believe it or not, I punish you nine clans!

Li Xuan, who has this kind of thought, doesn't care too much about what people outside think, and he is even more lazy to care about what the other women in the harem think, these women, if they don't give birth to a son and a half daughter, then politically speaking, they have no value at all.

As for feelings?

Li Xuan said that his heart had already been eaten by dogs!

Besides, as an emperor, what kind of love is it, it's too extravagant, Li Xuan can't afford it!

Although Li Xuan was addicted to the dance of the thigh era, but the government affairs did not fall for half a day, the next day he got up from a white thigh early in the morning, and then began to change clothes and eat.

After breakfast, Li Xuan first went to the Empress Dowager Bai to ask for peace, Datang, like many feudal dynasties, is extremely respectful of filial piety, as the emperor Li Xuan is not every day, but he also has to often go to the Empress Dowager Bai to ask for peace.

Empress Dowager Bai also got up early, and after seeing Li Xuan, she didn't talk nonsense with Li Xuan, and after a few simple words, she just said: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, go!" "Send Li Xuan away.

Li Xuan didn't care, although Empress Dowager Bai sent him away with a few words, but he could feel that Empress Dowager Bai loved him as a mother.

If there is really one person in this world who will not betray him and support him unconditionally, then this person can only be the White Queen Mother!

The ladies of the harem, and even his own children in the future, will not be able to be like the Empress Dowager Bai, putting themselves above everyone and everything, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Bai, the entire Tang Dynasty is not as important as her precious son.

After leaving the harem and coming to the front hall, Li Xuan began to review the folds, and then had a simple morning meeting with the ministers on duty in the imperial study, the content of the meeting was some daily trivial matters, the military reported the war in Huguang, but limited by the level of communication, now Zhaoqing has no way to know the news of the front, all that is known is the battle situation a few days ago.

After hearing that the First Infantry Division led by Hao Bonian had successfully converged with the Third Infantry Division, Li Xuan didn't say much, and he also knew Hao Bonian's plan, and he was on the same side.

He believed that Hao Bonian's plan to gather the main forces of the First Army to engage in a head-on decisive battle with the main forces of the Ming Army in the area of Hengzhou was risky and relatively large, but the risks were controllable.

The important thing is that once it succeeds, it will basically be able to completely annihilate more than 100,000 Ming troops in the southern area of Huguang, which is of great benefit to the future northward strategy of the Tang Dynasty.

The navy proposed that in order to prevent another attack by the Franc man, it was prepared to speed up the construction of several batteries along the coast, and to prevent the Franc man's attack from attacking in large numbers, and the naval fleet could not resist it, to keep the Pearl River Estuary and the Xijiang River, and to prevent the fleet of the Franc man from entering the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta such as Guangzhou along the Pearl River Valley.

In addition, the issue of the construction of the capital ships of the Navy was also mentioned.

The navy believes that the construction of the third-class frigate Wuzhou has entered the regular, although it has not yet been officially launched, but all aspects of the process and technical support can still be done, so it can enter the mass production stage in advance, the navy put forward the mass production plan of the third-class frigate, and the first batch of six third-class frigates will start construction.

Regarding the navy's plan, Li Xuan said that a naval meeting will be held in the near future to discuss the shipbuilding plan.

But if nothing else, the Navy's plan to massively produce third-class frigates should be approved.

After all, the construction of a third-class frigate is not large, only 350 tons, and secondly, the artillery equipped on it is mainly nine-kilogram artillery, supplemented by seven-kilogram artillery.

Needless to say, the seven-pound artillery is already the most mature artillery in the Tang Dynasty, and the nine-pound artillery, although it has not yet been mass-produced, has already begun to test, and a sample gun has been produced for test firing.

The reason why Li Xuan got up early in the morning today was to go to the Zhaoqing Arsenal to watch the test firing of the nine-pound artillery sample.

After the regular morning meeting, these ministers went back to their respective homes to deal with political affairs, while Li Xuan took some military generals and the main person in charge of the Ministry of Industry to the Zhaoqing Arsenal.

Li Xuan wants to go out of the palace to inspect, which is naturally not a trivial matter, but the Zhaoqing Arsenal is built on the outskirts of Zhaoqing City, and the distance is very close, so although the teachers are mobilized, it is actually very easy to arrange.

The Guards, who were responsible for the main security of the periphery, had already mobilized the whole army, and the entire city of Zhaoqing was strictly guarded, and the roads through which the royal car passed had been closed in advance and guarded by the soldiers of the Guards.

At the same time, the cavalry battalion of the Guards Army is also the same as before, directly providing close protection to Li Xuan!

And then there is the Investigation and Statistics Department of the Hanlin Academy, that is, those spy personnel on the Hantong side, who are also ambushed everywhere!

Finally, Li Xuan's personal security personnel, who belong to the security department of the Hanlin Academy, provide personal protection for Li Xuan.

These are all Li Xuan's normal security work on his daily patrols, not too big a move, but definitely not small, after all, Li Xuan still cares about his own life.

And he is also different from those emperors who specialize in going out to play, he goes out to have business, and goes out of the palace to play? He wasn't that interested, well, no, he couldn't say it too absolutely.

Later, when he entered the Qinhuai River, Li Xuan wanted to go to the painting boat on the Qinhuai River for a private visit to soothe the injured hearts of those women in the Winding Alley!

For this reason, he has been carefully recalling and memorizing a lot of poems in the past few years, just waiting to go to the Qinhuai River to show his majesty and win the reputation of Qinglou!

After leaving the palace, it didn't take long for Li Xuan to arrive outside the factory area of the Zhaoqing Arsenal, and now the Zhaoqing Arsenal has all moved into the new factory, and has begun large-scale mass production, its output accounts for more than half of the total output of many arsenals under the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty!

Because the Zhaoqing Arsenal not only enjoys a lot of financial subsidies and support from the Ministry of Industry, but also brings together almost the entire Guangdong, and even the craftsmen who have moved from Guangxi and Guizhou before.

Because of their relatively large scale and strong technical capabilities, they are also the first arsenal to carry out the imitation of the 12-pounder cannon of the Franc machine man among the many arsenals under the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan did not go directly to the factory area of the arsenal, but first went to the shooting range of the arsenal, preparing to directly watch the nine-pound artillery (twelve pounds) imitated by the Zhaoqing Arsenal.

After arriving at the shooting range, Li Xuan saw three guns that were obviously much larger than the seven-pound cannons, these cannons were still cast in bronze, huge in size, and thick in body, not much different from the twelve-pounder guns he had purchased from the Francophone before.

At a glance, you can tell that it is very lethal!
