Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 472
The kings of all dynasties liked to repair their palaces, such as the Afang Palace in the Qin Dynasty, the Changle Palace in the Han Dynasty, and the Ziwei Palace in the Sui Dynasty. A good palace is not only comfortable to live in, but also represents the dignity of the royal family and the court.Therefore, even if it is a waste of money and money, it will not hesitate to consume national strength.

Because of this, courtiers of all dynasties admonished the king directly, and it was the same in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian’s teacher Zhang Xuansu wrote the book because Zhang Liang was overhauling Luoyang Palace. Although Zhang Liang participated, the emperor was quite dissatisfied because of this. Yue reprimanded the old man once.

Later, I don’t know how the emperor figured it out. He specially moved down the imperial decree and cut down a batch of palace renovation plans, which saved a lot of expenses for the country. Therefore, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and others put up congratulatory forms one after another, praising the emperor as a The most sympathetic monarch throughout the ages is the one emperor through the ages.

But only a few days later, Dian Zhongsheng came to the East Palace with the emperor's imperial decree. After hearing this rather "weird" imperial decree, Li Chengqian almost lost his temper.The content of the imperial decree is very simple, Dianzhong Province will continue to undertake the suspended project of the Ministry of Industry, and all the necessary expenses will be borne by Donggong as a whole.

Although the emperor's words were not clearly stated, Li Chengqian understood that this was his "narrow-minded" father's punishment for Zhang Xuansu. As for why his son was punished, it was about saying that the disciple did his best.

Tangquan Palace was built under such a background. It was built on the back of the mountain and facing the Wei, leaning against the Lifeng Mountain.Li Chengqian once laughed at himself when he was having meals with the emperor in the Lizheng Palace. In order to build a palace for his father, the East Palace could no longer afford meals for him, the prince, and he planned to spend another 30 years in the Lizheng Palace.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, this place was a place for the emperor to visit. At that time, it was named "Xingchen soup" because of the hot springs here.At the beginning of the first emperor, it was built with stones and named Lishantang, and it was modified by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.In the fourth year of Tianhe, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was transformed into a large-scale by Otsuka Zaiyu Wenhu.In the third year of Kaihuang, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, spared no expense in planting thousands of pines and cypresses and building houses and buildings.

Therefore, with such a rich background, such a palace integrating "leisure and entertainment" was completed in such a short period of time, and it cost "so little" money.

This time, the emperor accompanied the emperor on a hunting trip not only with concubines from the harem, but also with his trusted ministers and their family members. It was obvious that he was hunting for his own entertainment. The purpose is to alleviate the misunderstanding between the monarch and his ministers caused by the hereditary governor system.

On the big stage of the hunting ground, the emperor stood on it in a close-fitting strong suit, pinching his waist, and carefully looked at the young men in full armor below. It's too fast.

Among these people are the sons of the princes such as Li Ke, Li You, Li Hui, and Li Chongzhen, as well as the sons of generals such as Li Boyao, Li Lingwen, Qin Youdao, Yuchi Baohuan, Duan Zan, Duan Guan, and Duan Yu, and Xue Wanche, Duan Yu, etc. Zhigan, Qu Tushou, Qu Tuquan and other young and middle-aged generals were all staring at the emperor intently, waiting for the order to attack.

Pointing to the three swords hanging on the shelf next to it, he said in a deep voice: "There is a saying that swords are given to heroes. Today's hunting, the one who catches yellow sheep and the two who hunt the most can get this sword that cuts iron like mud.

I know that you have often competed in private, and you always feel that you are a great hero, but that is not counted.I want to see is believing, if you have any ability, you can use it on the hunting ground in front of me and all the ministers! " After finishing speaking, he waved to Dugu Mou who was waiting in front of the drum.

In an instant, with the sound of the rumbling war drums, more than a hundred riders in the audience yelled and drove away like chicken blood, and refused to fall behind.

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that the three swords awarded by the emperor are the ladder to enter the Beiya and stand beside the emperor. For many people, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives.

Seeing these boys rushing towards their prey like hounds, Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, then turned around and came to the open-air banquet hall behind the hunting platform. Today, he will have a good chat with these heroes and relatives. . .
Li Chengqian was the only one among all the grown-up royal children who didn't end up. He was drinking with Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde at the moment. Seeing him drinking happily, Li Shimin who was sitting on top called him over.

"Gao Ming, among my disciples, aren't you the best in martial arts? Why don't you end up today? It's a little unreasonable." After speaking, Li Shimin raised his glass and had sex with Li Jing who was closest to him. a cup.

Hearing the emperor's question, Li Chengqian couldn't help but slander in his heart. What's the end of the game? The people who participated in the hunt today were all unfamous generals and noble children. His subordinates Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo and others were too embarrassed to compete with them. , can I pull that face off?

People need face, trees need bark, when everyone is like Xue Wanche, an old cucumber painted with green paint to pretend to be tender, shamelessly fighting with the backward.

"Father, you know that my son likes big ones when hunting, and this year's biggest prey is tigers. I heard that Duke Wu'an is going to hunt two tiger skins for Aunt Danyang to make blankets. As a state reserve, or as a nephew, you should not take away the beauty of others."

What Li Chengqian said was a hidden needle in the cotton, and he said on the surface that he couldn't delay Xue Wanche, the newly-baked son-in-law captain, to please his aunt.Another meaning is to tell the emperor that his son is not going to make a move, otherwise this Cai'er will not be able to turn to those guys.

Hehe, Li Shimin is very satisfied with his son's answer. He is both restrained and public, both benevolent and filial, without losing the demeanor of a prince of a great country. My son Li Shimin should be like this.

So, he smiled and said to Li Jing: "Pharmacist, did you see that your student is Zhang Yang? He thinks he can overwhelm the "pack of heroes". Wan Che and the others are brave generals who are good at fighting, but in his eyes they are all successful. It’s not worth mentioning if it’s a chicken or a dog.”

Li Jing was getting older, and his legs and feet were not as flexible as when he was young, but there was nothing wrong with his mind. The emperor was obviously very satisfied with the prince's answer, but he still pretended to be unteachable.Needless to say, this is a good thing to say about him, a military boss, boasting about how the prince is like a tiger father but no dog son.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what His Royal Highness said is true. During the war in Yinshan in the past, the old minister and His Highness rushed into Jieli's camp together, and saw His Highness shoot and kill dozens of Hu generals with his long bow."
