The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1264 Building a Palace
"What? You want to be filial, and pay out of your own pocket to rebuild the palace for me to live in?" His Majesty Li Er smiled and looked at Xuan Shijing: "Filial piety is commendable, but the palace is not just repaired. "

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "Father's words are right and wrong."

"Oh? Then tell me, where are my words right and wrong?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Father and empress advocate frugality, and there is no extravagance in the entire palace. Even though the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more full, this good character is still preserved in the palace. It is indeed advocating frugality to not build a palace in the palace. , but this frugality requires a gamble." Xuan Shijing said: "This Chang'an city and the imperial palace were built in the former Sui Dynasty, and the capital city was built in the former Sui Dynasty. Terrain, the Tai Chi Palace where His Majesty lives now is the lowest place in the entire Chang'an City. Whenever it rains, the accumulated water in the Tai Chi Palace is difficult to clear. This is why every summer, the Tai Chi Palace is humid and hot. When my father was young, he was fighting everywhere. He lost his health and was not suitable to live in this Taiji Palace for a long time. Tang is now prominent."

"Listen to you, if I order to build a palace, its scale must be higher than the scale of the Taiji Palace today. It is not advisable to waste money and money." His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, but he said in his mouth Xuan Shijing's statement is still a bit exciting, but Xuan Shijing's statement is not enough for His Majesty Li Er to order the construction of the palace under this guise.

"Nowadays in the Great Tang Dynasty, all the people come to congratulate, and the four quarters support it. When the court was held a few years ago, the minister felt that this Taiji Palace was not enough." Xuan Shijing said: "The minister thinks that this is also a big event. Your Majesty may wish to call for a meeting." Minister, after discussing this matter together, we will make a decision. All the adults in the court may not necessarily object to your proposal. The country of the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, and the wealth in the treasury is enough to support the new palace of the Tang Dynasty."

His Majesty Li Er, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has read it, and he also understands the current situation of the Tang treasury. Not to mention the Tang treasury, even the property of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is almost impossible to let go.

"Oh, I will seriously consider the matter of building a new palace." His Majesty Li Er said.

His Majesty Li Er has been tossed enough by this illness. If he can build a new palace and move to live in the new palace, it would be a good choice to get rid of this humid environment.

"Speaking of which, why do you have the idea of ​​suggesting that I build a new palace?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"When I entered the palace this morning, it was still raining lightly. I walked from home to the palace, entered the imperial city, and then entered the palace city. The more I walked towards the Taiji Palace, the more water accumulated on the ground The more, when I arrived in front of the Tai Chi Palace, the minister's shoes had already gained momentum. Just now, when the minister saw that his father was in pain, he felt that it was because the environment of the Tai Chi Palace was unsatisfactory, which made his father's pain worse. Think about it again. Taiji Palace, summed up in all aspects, since our Great Tang has this ability, we should have a palace that truly belongs to the Great Tang." Xuan Shijing said.

The Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City was always built in the former Sui Dynasty, and Yang Jian was even more frugal than His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, even building an imperial palace was very simple.

As for His Majesty Li Er, he was put on the hat of Tian Khan. Now that this status has been added, the Tang Dynasty can also afford the power of all nations. A big country must also have the demeanor of a big country. The Tai Chi Palace seems a bit petty.

"The imperial palace that really belongs to the Tang Dynasty" His Majesty Li Er repeated Xuan Shijing's words.

His Majesty Li Er was even more moved by the matter of building a new palace.

As early as when Xuan Shijing hadn't brought it up, it was more than ten years ago. At that time, Xuan Shijing was still a child, and His Majesty Li Er ordered to build a new palace, but this palace was completely It is used to honor the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, that is Yong'an Palace, Hanyuan Hall, on Longshouyuan in the northeast of Chang'an City.

The scale of this Yong'an Palace is not large, it is just a main hall, Hanyuan Hall, plus some side halls.

His Majesty Li Er has been a person who pursued perfection all his life. Although the throne came in a wrong way, he still wanted to leave the name of a filial son, so he built the Yong'an Palace for the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

"Deyi, call Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yan Lide, and Yan Liben to Ganlu Hall to discuss matters." His Majesty Li Er said.

"No." After Deyi responded, he went out and told the little yellow gate outside the hall to go to Sansheng to invite someone.

As soon as Xuan Shijing heard these people summoned by His Majesty Li Er, he knew that His Majesty Li Er was definitely moved, not only moved, but also wanted to act.

Who are the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben?The two brothers are both in the Ministry of Industry, one is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the other is a master craftsman, and Yan Liben is the one who presided over the construction of the Daming Palace.

Even if the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty was completely burned down by Anlu Mountain, it would still be a world-famous existence. Just in size, it is as big as the Forbidden City in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The predecessor of Daming Palace was Yong'an Palace, but it was later renamed Daming Palace.

"Father, minister."

"Since you came up with the idea, you should stay here too." His Majesty Li Er said, raising his eyelids.

"Yes." Xuan Shijing replied.

I don't know if I propose to build the palace by myself, will I end up being a flattering minister in the future.

"Your Majesty, how about calling Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu?" Xuan Shijing said.

"What are you two doing?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"I'm afraid that Master Changsun and Master Chu will not agree, and I can't speak to them alone. I want to find two helpers." Xuan Shijing said honestly.

"Then how do you know that Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu will definitely speak for you?"

Because these two people are not good people, Xuan Shijing thought in his heart: "Master Changsun and Lord Chu are both upright and direct ministers. Building a palace, as the emperor said, is a waste of money and people. Although the government has such strength, However, Your Majesty always advocates frugality, so if you raise it so rashly, the two adults may dismiss the matter. As for the two men you said, they acted smoothly in the court, and they can best understand the Sacred Heart. If you make up your mind, then these two people will definitely stand on the side of His Majesty and this humble minister, and help His Majesty to complete this matter."

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "You boy, are you saying that Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu are flattering ministers?"
