"Even if you have no intention of power, sometimes you can't help yourself. You are the second son of the current emperor, one of the four princes, and the most qualified person to inherit the throne except the prince." Zhao Qian said straightforwardly, "for the sake of the throne. Inheritance, twins are the biggest taboo among royal family members."
Li Kuan replied, "Lao Zhao, what you said is wrong. Although I am one of the four princes of Chu, I am not the son of the eldest grandson queen. If there is such a day, neither will I be the successor of Chu or Wu. Datong chooses between King Wei and King Jin."
Although Li Kuan has no interest in power tactics, it does not mean that the succession to the throne is in an orderly manner. Even if the crown prince Li Chengqian was abolished, he would not be the successor of the Chu king. Whether from the lineage or the support of the ministers of the court, he, the Chu king, was an outsider.
Wang Huai answered, "Although this is the case, sometimes the situation is compelling to do it."
If it is really inherited in an orderly manner, the current emperor is the second son of the emperor Gaozu, isn't it because the situation forced him to do so. No one can be sure about the future development, just like this time Wu Hui gave birth to twins, which is absolutely a taboo of the royal family.
If Li Kuan is not a direct prince, if it is a prince of a collateral branch, even a county prince would not be so worried. From Li Kuan's point of view, while the status of the King of Chu brought many benefits, it also made him trapped.
"Are there no twins except my son?"
Under Li Kuan’s curious questioning, Wang Huai was silent for a moment, and said: “The situation of twins is not uncommon in the royal family, but there are few records in it. The appearance of twins is a big taboo in the palace. If it is a royal guest. The concubine gave birth to twins, not only will not be favored, but will also be disgusted."

"Why?" Li Kuan couldn't understand. Even for the smooth succession to the throne, it would not be implicated because of the twins. Isn't it a great thing for the feudal dynasty in the era of cold weapons to give birth to two children
"If you give birth to twins and you can only keep one person, what should you do with another child?"
Wang Huai said solemnly: "If you give birth to twins, you will surely leave hidden dangers in future succession to the throne. In order to avoid such things from happening. One of the children will be sent to other royal families to raise them, or to be sent to a monastery to become a monk. Will be abandoned in rivers and wilderness and let it fend for itself."
"This is too cruel!" Li Kuan frowned.
Wang Huai said in a loud voice: "It is indeed cruel for another child, but the remaining child is definitely the best guarantee. If the twins look exactly the same, the two brothers will surely meet that day. In the event of a dispute, how strong is the instability of the DPRK? Everything starts from the overall situation!
Li Kuan recalled how Li Shimin was hesitant before. After seeing his two sons for a long time, not only did they fail to follow the usual practice, but chose to give them a name, and said suspiciously: "In this case, why does the emperor show special kindness to my two sons? ?"
Qian Wu said angrily: "If the emperor really ordered to do so, would you agree?"
"Definitely not agree!" Li Kuan replied without hesitation, "Who dares to touch my son, I will destroy him!"
Wang Huai smiled and said, "This is one of the reasons, and you, the King of Chu, are just idle princes, and the emperor did not include you as a candidate for succession to the throne. Secondly, it should be the most important reason, and the emperor is also the same today. Twins."
Li Kuan was surprised: "The emperor is also a twin? What about the other child?"
Zhao Qian and Qian Wu were not very clear about this matter. Wang Huai, who had been with Li Yuan since his childhood, naturally knew that he was the emperor's secret. Originally, none of these things could be publicized, but now just a few of them, it doesn't hurt to talk about them.

"The third son of Emperor Gaozu, Li Xuanba!" Wang Huai recalled Li Xuanba with emotion: "Weiwang Xuanba is smart and talented, and his appearance is quite similar to that of Gaozu, but the current emperor is more like Queen Taimu. More."
Li Kuan bowed his head in deep thought and murmured: "Li Xuanba?... Isn't that Li Yuanba? Didn't it mean the fourth son? In that case, Qi Wang Li Yuanji is the youngest son of the Dou family, which means Li Xuan Ba and Li Shimin were born at the same time, why the relevant records did not mention this?"
"The relationship between King Wei and the current emperor is the brother of a female compatriot, and the relationship between them is twins, so the relationship between their brothers is very close. It is precisely because of the relationship between the twins that King Wei has a weaker body and cannot be stimulated. , Empress Taimu died of illness in nine years, and Wang Wei was overwhelmed by the death of his mother, and died of illness the following year."
Li Kuan was surprised: "Twins will inherit. Since the emperor is twins, there should be twins born in my generation?" Wang Huai, Zhao Qian, and Qian Wu were silent, and no one answered Li Kuan’s question. In the end, Li Kuan said to himself: "I didn't expect it to be inherited to my generation. My son is a twin. Didn't expect that twins can be inherited from generation to generation?" Genius remembers 噺バ一Chinese 8/1 /z/o/m/
Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are twins, because Li Shimin was born first as the brother and Li Xuanba as the younger brother. At that time, Li Xuanba was born ten minutes later than Li Shimin. It was not all smooth sailing. Therefore, his physique was not very good since he was a child. He may have been in the mother for too long, causing insufficient oxygen supply to the brain and almost died of suffocation. Miraculously came alive.
In order to keep Li Xuanba alive, Dou specially asked someone to calculate his fate, and his name became "Li Xuanba".
Since Li Yuan was not a royal prince back then, the Dou family gave birth to twin sons. The whole mansion was particularly happy. On the contrary, he thought it was a big good thing. In addition, the eldest son Li Jiancheng was still alive, and both of them lived well. Until Li Xuanba died of illness, there was no detailed record of Li Xuanba’s birth date in order to keep it secret. This also enabled Li Shimin to successfully ascend the throne as emperor. Only Wang Huai who truly knew Li Shimin was a twin now survives.
After a while, Zhao Qian said again: "Now the emperor is not guilty, and he has also given the names of two little sons, which means that both of them can be included in the genealogy."
"I don't care about this, I just want them to live healthy!"
Li Kuan suddenly thought of the chubby little faces of the two little guys, and his heart was filled with great joy. At this moment, he knew that he had become a father. Miss two little guys.
In ancient times, there was a great danger of having twins. Wu Hui was able to give birth to twins so smoothly. Li Kuan didn’t want the previous tragedy to happen to his son, so he decided to look for Sun Simiao, the king of medicine who once taught his medical skills, and let them be two. Son check his body.
