Great Tang princess

Chapter 379 The Opening of the Library

The matter in the court was over, but it was impossible for Tianhou to give up on Jianmingtang. The fight between Pei Huaiyi and the ministers this time was just the beginning.

After chatting with Shangguan Wan'er, Li Yuechen went directly to the Hall of Renshou without changing his robes.

Just in time for Pei Huaiyi to come out, he hastily saluted respectfully: "I have seen the eldest princess!"

Li Yuechen looked at it with his head tilted, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Oh, it seems that the battle is very intense."

At this time, Pei Huaiyi's left eye was already swollen, like a panda, as if it had been medicated, and it looked shiny.

There is also a cyan circle around the corner of the mouth on the right, and the originally handsome face looks extremely embarrassed at this moment, and there is also a small cut on the brow bone, and it seems that the bleeding has just stopped.

"Returning to Your Highness, it's really a little..." Pei Huaiyi smiled wryly, but the wound on his face was affected, and he grinned.

Li Yuechen felt a little funny: "When you first entered the palace, I heard that you were also considered a man of Kong Wu power, why did you fall like this?"

It stands to reason that even if Pei Huaiyi has never practiced martial arts, but after all, with his muscles here, his strength must be much stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Back to Your Highness, there are too many of them..." Pei Huaiyi explained with some embarrassment, "I am also hard to beat with two fists..."

"Okay, let's go back and practice, pay more attention next time!" Li Yuechen smiled, did not continue talking, and raised his legs to enter the Hall of Renshou.

Pei Huaiyi saluted, and then quietly raised his head to look at Li Yuechen's back. He couldn't help but think, I heard that this princess can pull a few horses backwards by brute force alone without skill. If she also has this level of strength, how can she lose? give them?

Thinking of this, Pei Huaiyi suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected to exercise after entering the palace. He ate well and slept well every day. The rest of the time was basically playing with beautiful maids, and his strength was indeed not as good as before.

After raising his hand and pinching his arm, he decided to exercise well after going back from today.

……

After entering the Hall of Renshou, Li Yuechen walked over to see his mother reading the memorial.

Seeing that the tea was full, he came behind her and gently massaged her shoulders: "Mother, the baby is here!"

"Did you see Pei Huaiyi at the door?" Wu Zetian asked without raising his head, "How do you feel?"

"It's kind of funny!" Li Yuechen replied with a smile, "It looks like he was beaten badly."

Wu Zetian put down the brush in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair and stretched: "Speaking of which, the library will be completed soon, and Chen'er will take over as the host."

"I think it's more appropriate for my mother to preside over this matter." Li Yuechen originally planned to give the credit to his mother, so how could he preside over it by himself. , Qian Niuwei is fully responsible for the safety of the palace..."

This is almost equivalent to the words of rebellion being uttered by the daughter herself, and Wu Zetian didn't respond, just nodded: "Okay, listen to you."

Regardless of whether it is Chang'an or Dongdu, the imperial palace faces south. Whether it is a palace coup or a rebellion, the rebels will definitely fight from north to south.

Because if you want to attack frontally, you must first break through the city gate, the imperial city gate, the inner gate... During this period, you will encounter a large number of Jinwuwei and other Nanya soldiers.

To put it bluntly, if there are not enough troops, it is very likely that even the gates of the city will not be broken!
Of course, if there are heavy weapons such as flying towers or trebuchets, they may also be able to break through, but it is almost impossible for such large equipment to be built at the feet of the emperor and transported to the gate of the city.

Therefore, the Xuanwu gate of the imperial palace must have the most important defensive force in order to encircle the safety of the imperial palace to the greatest extent.

Li Yuechen's plan was to hand over the safety of the palace to Qianniuwei in the future, and the royal family must firmly control safety in their own hands.

In fact, there was a problem with the previous Beiya Forbidden Army system. In order to ensure the emperor's loyalty, senior officers would not be promoted from below, but would be directly airborne.

This has resulted in a situation where soldiers don't know their generals, and generals don't know their soldiers.

But Li Yuechen's Qianniuwei does not have this problem. First of all, the structure of Qianniuwei is simple, and the three-tier structure allows the speed and efficiency of order transmission to far exceed the army of this era.

Secondly, senior officers are basically promoted from among the soldiers, and return to their original company after graduating from the military academy.

In this way, the cohesion of the upper and lower levels is higher, and there will be no situation where the grassroots officers who are directly responsible for leading the troops are instigated to turn against the people above without knowing it at all.

"Well, don't be in a hurry now, the kings haven't made any obvious moves yet. They just expanded their army, and they still need a while to get used to it." Li Yuechen laughed.

"My mother doesn't understand military affairs, Chen'er can just look at it by herself." Wu Zetian smiled, then tilted her head and touched her daughter's massage hands on her shoulders.

To be honest, Li Yuechen likes her attitude, don't talk nonsense about things she doesn't understand, and leave it to professional people to do it.

If the leaders of many units in the future are like this, I am afraid that life in the workplace will be much easier, right?
……

On October 23, the library was officially completed.

Li Yuechen came to Feixiang Hall excitedly, but before entering, he opened his mouth forcefully and adjusted his expression so that he didn't look so lively.

Although the princess has always had a good relationship with her brother, but in this case, it is too good, and it may arouse Queen Wei Lian'er's suspicion.

Now the palace is full of secret guards' eyeliner, once the mother finds out that the queen is suspicious, she will definitely not be soft-hearted.

At that time, my brother will definitely be sad, Li Yuechen doesn't want that to happen.

Before entering the hall, he heard music playing inside, and Li Yuechen directly opened the door and walked in.

I saw my elder brother sitting on a rocking chair drinking tea, the musicians next to him kept playing soothing music, and Queen Wei Lianer was dancing to the notes.

Seeing his younger sister coming suddenly, Li Xian quickly waved his hand to make the musician stop, and a look of surprise flashed across his face: "Why is Yuechen here?"

"Aunt asked me to come." Li Yuechen blinked his right eye from an angle that Wei Lian'er couldn't see, then turned around and saluted: "I've seen the queen."

"Oh, princess, hurry up!" Wei Lian'er took two quick steps and came over to support her arm, "It's hard to come here, but we need to have a good chat."

She knew that her husband had a very good relationship with this younger sister, so Wei Lian'er had always treated her with great respect. If there were any conflicts between her and her husband, sometimes she still had to ask this princess.

After seeing his younger sister blinking, Li Xian's expression of surprise disappeared: "Oh, it's just that Auntie sent me here..."

"Brother, don't be angry, the current situation..." Li Yuechen shook his head, "Brother, do you understand?"

Li Xian smiled wryly and nodded: "Okay, don't talk about this, sit down!" Then he ordered Sun Jingbang to get the wine.

"Brother, it's neither noon nor late, just forget about the wine..."

"No problem, no problem, I'm glad Yuechen is here today!" Li Xian waved his hand, "Just drink a little!"

After a while, Sun Jingbang came over with a jug of wine and poured them respectively.

Li Yuechen turned his head and looked at Wei Lian'er: "Sister-in-law..."

"Oh, she's happy!" Li Xian waved his hands, "Just the two of us will drink!"

"You still let her dance when you're happy?" Li Yuechen raised his head, "Brother, you..."

On the other hand, Wei Lian'er smiled and waved her hands: "No problem, no problem, it's only been three months, princess don't have to worry."

Li Yuechen shook his head, and he could only say that my brother is also big-hearted. Pregnancy itself is quite dangerous in this era, yet he dared to let her dance at this time.

On the contrary, Li Xian's expression was a little aggrieved. It seemed that Wei Lian'er wanted to dance for him, but she didn't explain. What are your orders?"

"The library is completed, ask brother to write the inscription!" Li Yuechen smiled.

To a certain extent, Li Xian's calligraphy level is even higher than that of his mother, especially Xing Kai, which has a bit of Taizong's demeanor in it.

"Okay, that's all you need to be a brother now..." Li Xian smiled wryly.

The siblings chatted for a while, and after three cups of wine, the emotions were almost brewing. Li Xian waved his hand: "Come here, pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Sun Jingbang promised to prepare all the necessary things as quickly as possible.

Li Xian got up, came to the table, picked up a pen and dipped in the ink, and after a flurry of flamboyant and phoenix dances, he finally wrote a large line of characters on the straight face: Great Tang Imperial Library!
Seeing my brother put down his pen, Li Yuechen leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but nodded. I have to say, my brother's calligraphy is really good.

Standing on the side and looking at it, one can feel a sense of grandeur, and one doesn't know if the status of the emperor has any special BUFF bonus.

After writing the words, just wait for the ink to dry, and the craftsmen will naturally handle the rest.

Li Xian looked at his work and nodded in satisfaction: "Yuechen, how is it?"

"No need to say, my brother's calligraphy is almost at the level of calligrapher Wang Xizhi!" Li Yuechen smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The siblings chatted for a while, and it was almost dusk when Li Yuechen got up to leave.

Before leaving, he said to Li Xian: "Speaking of which, the crown prince is about the same age, so he will go to the military school in September next year."

"Yeah." Li Xian nodded to show he understood, and then got up to send his sister away from Feixiang Hall.

When he came back, he saw Wei Lian'er looking at him with an aggrieved expression.

"What's wrong?" Li Xian pulled her to sit down and asked.

Wei Lian'er frowned: "Your Majesty is really willing to let Run'er go to the army to suffer? He is the crown prince, how can he fight in the army and suffer that crime?"

Hearing her words, Li Xian, who had always been obedient to her, shook his head: "Because he is the crown prince, he should go all the more!"

"Why is that?" Wei Lian'er looked distressed, "How could His Majesty be willing to let him..."

"Being the prince means that one day he will become the emperor!" Li Xian interrupted him directly, "Living in the palace since I was a child, how can I understand the sufferings of the people? All kinds of things can only be seen through memorials, which is almost the same as that of a blind man." No difference!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help standing up and said: "It rained a few years ago, and I went out with Yuechen to fight the flood and rescue disasters. Only then did I understand what the memorial said about the countless corpses in the disaster area!"

"All the crops and houses were destroyed by the flood, men, women and children struggled in the water..." Li Xian shook his head slightly as he said, "If you don't see this scene with your own eyes, you will never understand it!"

"But..." Wei Lian'er didn't know how to refute.

"At that time, I gave steamed buns to those victims, and seeing their appearance, I felt that what the prince did was meaningful..." Li Xian's expression was very serious, "So it is right for the children of the royal family to go to the army to learn and experience! What's more, studying and training in the army, staying away from court, can avoid many meaningless fights in the future..."

Seeing his expression, Wei Lian'er was silent for a while: "Your Majesty is right, but..."

"Okay, I won't go until September next year. Besides, it's not like I won't be back after joining the army!" Li Xian waved his hand.

He could still see this clearly. Generally speaking, the advantages of the royal family's children going to the army outweighed the disadvantages.

At least in this way, they can stay away from the court, will not be involved in political struggles for various reasons, and their relationship with each other can become better.

There were many and troublesome things in the court, and the deaths of many princes were due to being involved in various troublesome things.

From this point of view, it is also a good thing to keep them away from the court.

……

On November [-]th, the Datang Royal Library officially opened.

There was no grand ceremony, and it just opened so quietly.

Since the news was published in the newspaper some time ago, people have been paying attention to this matter almost every day. When they saw that the library was finally opened, some folk scholars asked Qian Niuwei who was on duty at the gate that day.

Qian Niuwei didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "You can go there directly, come and go for a body search!"

The student agreed and entered the gate of the imperial city. After entering the gate, the library is on the right, so just go there.

A few Qianniuwei soldiers and a few court ladies stood at the door, who were responsible for searching the people who came in and out, to prevent them from bringing in some contraband or stealing books from it.

After the student cooperated with Qianniuwei to perform a body search, he walked into the library full of expectations.

After entering, there is a high hall, and on the left are rows of bookshelves filled with various thread-bound books.

There are formal knowledge of this era, there are also various books written by national history and ministers of the court, and there are also content such as novels and stories... You can even read "Zhenguan Political Leaders"!
On the right side are single desks, which can be improvised into a large table, and can also be used to sit alone.

There are papers hanging on the snow-white walls, on which are written the rules of the library, no loud noises, no eating here, etc...

The student walked back and forth excitedly in front of the bookshelves, looking through these books, and suddenly didn't know where to start.

……

The library was hung under the name of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Zetian handed over the selection of the curator to King Luo Bin.

When you are free, you can pick some good seedlings in the library and give them advice. If you can find some talents, it will be considered a great achievement!
On the third day after it opened, more and more people came to the library, even some girls.

Li Yuechen on the city wall looked at the gradually bustling library and nodded with a smile. From this step, Datang officially began the transformation from the aristocratic political system to the bureaucratic political system.
