Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 271 The First Dutiful Son of the Zhenguan Dynasty
Since the emperor ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a new palace in the Taiji Palace, Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide, the left servant, Jiang Xingben, the new servant of the right, Yan Liben, the master craftsman, Liang Xiaoren, the minister of farming, and others, had passed through half a month. The location of the new palace was selected after the inspection, and it was chosen in Longshouyuan.

His Majesty the narcissistic emperor even named it Daming Palace by citing scriptures. Germany and Japan are vast, so it is called Great Ming."

The emperor praised Li Yuan as King Wen of Zhou, and compared himself to King Wu. With this narcissistic tone, Wei Zheng pouted for a few days in anger, and even pulled off his beard.

As for the location of this new palace, it is located outside the Beiguo City of Chang’an City, with the Royal Forbidden Garden and the Weishui River to the north, the Beiguo City of Chang’an City to the south, and the northeast corner of the palace city to the west.A mountain that symbolizes the dragon's veins runs northward from Fanchuan in the southwest of Chang'an, and stretches for [-] miles. When it arrives here, it happens to be the "Dragon Head". Because of the high terrain, it is called Longshouyuan.

The dragon head was originally the Sanjiu archery site in the north of Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty, and there was the Guande Hall inside, where the archery ceremony was held. Tang inherited this function.At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the new capital was built based on the "Book of Changes", and it was believed that the Longshou mountains and rivers were beautiful, and it was appropriate to build a capital.

The range of Longshou Mountain is between the Chan River, Ba River and Ju River. Strictly speaking, it refers to a part of the east-west foothills near the Wei River.Its terrain is in harmony with the "six lines" is the hexagram image of Qian hexagram in "Book of Changes".

Yu Wenkai, the supervisor of Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty, attached the "six lines" to correspond to several hills in the original Longshou Mountain. This is the "six lines" terrain.The Daming Palace is just at the "dragon head" of Longshouyuan, which is the "Jiuyi Highland" of Longshouyuan in a broad sense.

The former court area of ​​the Daming Palace occupies the highest point of Longshou Mountain. The Jiuyi Highland is the main vein of Longshou Mountain, where the dragon head is located.Standing on the high ground of Longshouyuan and looking south, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an City.

The construction plan of the Daming Palace was also discussed by Jiang Xingben and Yan Liben in conjunction with Yu Wenkai's "Six Yaos".On the one hand, it has a certain symbolic meaning and caters to the needs of the etiquette system.

On the other hand, on the basis of following the ritual system, they also considered the actual needs and the architectural layout of Chang'an City, which just shows that the two are pragmatic and truth-seeking.

According to the standard system, in addition to drawing the corresponding drawings on the side, a small sample was also made to present to the emperor, so that the emperor could see the appearance of the new palace more attentively.And Wei Wang Li Tai used this demo to show his face to the emperor.

Li Tai contributed his own personal wealth to make this sample with gold, and personally sent it to the Chengqing Hall to present it to the emperor, and persuaded the emperor to set up a separate side hall to enshrine this sample, so that the emperor's This act of filial piety that touched heaven has been passed down and set an example for future generations.

"Qingque, tell me, how did you come up with this idea?" Li Shimin asked the little fat man behind him with a smile while touching the gold sample.

"Returning to the father, the son said: He is filial and fraternal as a person, but it is rare to offend his superiors. He is not good at offending his superiors, but he is fond of making troubles. It is rare. The foundation? Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, and filial piety is the core foundation. A gentleman governs the country with benevolence and filial piety as the foundation, and then the people know what to do and are content with the status quo, and the four peoples perform their duties, and the world will be stable."

"Although my father is diligent in political affairs and has worked hard for several years, the national power of the Tang Dynasty has flourished, the people of the barbarians have become more popular, and the lives of the people have improved a lot as before.

But the more this is the case, the more we must pay attention to the promotion of filial piety. Filial piety is the natural feeling of all living beings. However, if you want to use it with power, it will lose its truth, making the old arrogant and the young cowardly and ineffective. , should be avoided.

Father's move is to set an example for the common people in the world, how can such an act of filial piety be carved out of rotten wood, so the son-in-law used some gold, and asked the father not to blame the son-in-law for being too wasteful. "

After speaking, he had an expression of sincerity and fear, as if the emperor was going to do something to him.Li Shimin, who turned around and saw him like this, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he said: "Qingque, although it is a bit wasteful, but this is your filial piety, how can the father blame you? And your proposal is very good, I just want to let everyone in the world understand the way of filial piety, The order of seniority is the foundation of stability in the world. The emperor will reward you heavily, just tell me, what you want, I will not deny it."

Originally Li Tai was in a very happy mood, but when he heard the emperor talk about the order of elder and younger, he couldn't help feeling an unknown fire in his heart.

What's so good about Li Chengqian? Why does the emperor think about him all the time? Is it because he has a violent personality and likes to kill people? What's the reason for this?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he returned a big smile to the emperor, and then cupped his hands and praised: "Father, this is the filial piety that sons and ministers should do. If you accept the reward from father, wouldn't you be flattering the Lord with weapons?" , you are a Punisher! And."

Hahaha. After listening to Li Tai's reply, the emperor laughed heartily.It's a good thing that the government and the public praise the benevolent minister and filial son, and I have not been disappointed. Although I was a little unreliable in my previous work, that was also the reason for my young age.

Li Shimin immediately waved his hand, interrupted Li Tai, who was about to continue to be humble, and said in a deep voice: "It is not the way of a wise king to not reward you for your merits. In this way, I will increase your fiefdom by two hundred households. In addition, the Ministry of Industry is building the Daming Palace. , you follow along, if you have any good suggestions, you can come to me directly.".
The emperor greatly rewarded the little fat man in the Chengqing Hall, and Li Tai raised his fiefdom to the same level as Li Chengqian, so the officials of King Wei were extremely excited. .

"Cousin, what can make you, the majestic right servant of the Ministry of Integrity, so angry. Is it the sky falling, the ground sinking, or someone's little flower dog is missing." I made a cup of tea for my eldest grandson.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was still in the mood to tease himself, Chang Sun Chong asked with a puzzled look: "Your Highness, when is this? Your Majesty has raised Wei Wang's fiefdom to such an extent, how can you still sit here? You know, ever since you asked His Majesty for leave, the King of Wei ran to the Chengqing Hall when he had nothing to do."

Recently, there have been quite a lot of books about the crown prince's participation in the court. Although they are all innocuous and trivial matters, this left a bad impression on the emperor that his morals are not good enough.In addition, King Wei, who has always been good at flattering horses and seeing stitches, how can he do it if he is not a little careful.

"Even if your Majesty and Gu are father and son, they are also monarchs and ministers. What he gives to Gu today can be taken away from Gu tomorrow. Instead of worrying about these things all day long, it is better to do everything that needs to be done well.

If you have free time to spend more time running the construction of the Ministry of Integrity in the counties and counties below, and whether the people who moved out of Hu County were treated unfairly, this is not much more important than looking at Qingque.

If you don't follow the righteous way to govern the country, no one will support you, and if you don't show kindness to the people, no one will love you.It is easy to speculate, but it is the hardest thing to learn to forgive and tolerate. You must have a sense of balance. " After finishing speaking, he patted Zhang Sun Chong on the shoulder heavily.

Li Chengqian knows the emperor's virtues very well, as long as Qingque goes to his place to show off his cuteness, His Majesty the emperor who is eager to love his son will not care about it.As for the way he was invited to be favored by the emperor, Li Chengqian was not interested at all. No matter how much the emperor doted on him, it was impossible for him to abolish himself for no reason.

If I have free time, I might as well think more about these things that are beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood, not to mention how to train those students, wouldn't it be good?Especially that mischievous Pei Xingjian.
