Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 300 Yan Wan
Following the prescription given by Sun Simiao, after the concocted potion was taken by Empress Changsun, although there was no immediate effect, it could be seen that Empress Changsun's complexion improved a lot.

Three days after taking the medicine, Empress Changsun was able to get up, and after seven days, Empress Changsun walked around the yard occasionally.

During this period, Li Chengqian suggested to Li Shimin to build a Buddhist temple, because his mother has always believed in Buddhism, and now she is petitioning the Buddha, asking for the blessing of the Buddha, so that Empress Changsun can recover.

Li Tai suggested decisively that Sun Simiao is a Taoist priest, and our Li family is a descendant of Laozi. Even if we ask, we should petition Taoism. There is no reason to petition Buddhism. Is the Buddha's hand stretched too far?

To be honest, Li Tai is not an extremely firm materialist, but he knows that thinking is the same as public opinion.

If you don't have the upper hand, someone else will.

Since I am going to take the Taoist route, when necessary, I will naturally give the Taoist platform.

However, Li Shimin rebuilt more than 390 abandoned temples and Taoist temples with the idea of ​​trying first whether it is useful or not.

As for the specific division, it depends on the private competition between the Buddhist school supported by Li Chengqian and the Taoist school supported by Li Tai.

However, Li Tai asked Pan Shizheng to try his best to win the Taoist temple in Luoyang, so that he could give up the Taoist temple in Chang'an to the Buddhist school.

Because Li Tai knew that when Empress Changsun fully recovered, she would be sealed off in Luoyang, which should be on the agenda.

When the time comes to build Luoyang Taoist Temple, it will be another good project. If it falls into his own hands, he may even earn a little money from the court.

Just like this, Li Chengqian and Li Tai gradually recovered as the eldest grandson queen, and the two sides were more or less at odds with each other.

This made Empress Changsun shake her head, feeling that the two should be separated!
"You, can't you let me rest easy!" Empress Changsun finally regained her energy and used her strength to discipline Li Tai.

"Hey, it looks like my mother is much more energetic!" Li Tai said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. I've been sick for the past few days, which has delayed your concubine selection. Now that I've finished it early, I can let you go to Luoyang earlier to seal it!"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Taidao, "I've only been lying down for a few days, and I heard that you and Chengqian are arguing again!"

"It's nothing, we had a friendly exchange on the beliefs of the two sides. With the spirit of respecting each other and self-respect, let us get to know each other again, narrow the ideological distance between the two sides, and prepare for the next exchange." Li Tai Chen Ken said .

"Don't talk nonsense!" Empress Changsun sighed, "Why are you arguing with Cheng Qian?"

"Because my brother hasn't done anything that I can admire!" Li Tai said helplessly, "He was born a little earlier than me.

I really don't know why he is better than me, brother convinced me, at least do what I can't do! "

"You! Forget it, when you go to Luoyang, you won't be able to run into Chengqian again!" Empress Changsun said.

"Then mother, let's have a good rest first, and I'll go back first!" Li Tai said to Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun nodded, "I will choose a concubine for you in the middle of this month, and then you can go to Luoyang with Princess Wei!"

"No! Then mother rest well." Li Tai saluted the eldest grandson empress before leaving.

Tai has no requirements for his future wife except to look good and have a slim figure.

As for the aristocratic family, for Li Tai, it is best to have help, if there is really no one, he doesn't care.

After all, one's own foundation has already been forged.

Not long after Li Tai left, Li Chengqian came out from behind the screen, saw Empress Changsun, crossed his hands and saluted, "Thank you mother!"

"You have also heard Qingque's heartfelt words.

He has always been honest and open in his actions. If you want to convince Qing Que, you must at least impress Qing Que by doing things.

It's not that Qingque can't be inferior to others, as if everything he does is for Datang's sake.

But if you want him to be convinced, you need to be as diligent and loving as your father is. "Empress Changsun said.

"Can I really be like my father?" Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Chengqian looked a little dazed.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian and said, "If you can't do it, let Qingque do it."

"Mother!" Li Chengqian couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard Empress Changsun's words.

He instinctively raised his head to look at Empress Changsun, only to see an unprecedented seriousness on Empress Changsun's face.

Empress Changsun said seriously, "Chengqian, I can favor you once or twice, but I can't favor you a hundred or two hundred times.

If you really reach that point, you have already lost. For the stability of Datang, I would rather let the sage choose Qingque!

Therefore, in the future, you should do more business for the Tang Dynasty, and don't run around like a dog. As long as you don't lose your virtue, the blue sparrow will not be able to return to Chang'an! "

"No!" Li Chengqian involuntarily lowered his head when he heard Empress Changsun's words and solemnly replied.

Empress Changsun nodded, continued to lie down, and closed her eyes again to rest her mind.

Li Chengqian left the Lizheng Hall with a look of excitement.

At least he has got the exact news that Qing Que will leave Chang'an for Luoyang in a few days and it will be closed.

To be honest, Li Tai didn't care that if he went to Luoyang, he wouldn't be able to come back.

Still the same sentence, when you are enough to influence the implementation of the imperial court's policies, but at the same time, the imperial court has no violent means to destroy you directly, then it can only pull you back to the capital and give you a job to support you well.

But because of his identity, this kind of kindness will only make many people bet on him like moths flying to the flame.

Even up to now, Li Tai has not made it clear that he wants to seize the heir.

Because what Li Tai showed was that he was a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, as long as Li Chengqian convinced himself, then naturally he would treat you with all his heart to Li Shimin.

Of course, there is some sincerity in it, only God knows.

But at least it is enough for Li Tai to let Li Shimin and Empress Changsun know that he is sincere.

As for the others, I said that I am not responsible for Passerby A.

When Li Tai came out of the palace, he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find Yan Xuansui.

After all, in a few days, I will leave Chang'an, so I also want to know, how is Yan Xuansui doing with his hot air balloon research?

"Xuan Sui met the King of Wei!" Yan Xuan Sui saluted Li Tai seriously when he saw Li Tai.

"Xuan Sui, I just came back from seeing my mother in the palace, so I stopped by to ask you, how is the progress of the Kongming Lantern?"

"Please rest assured, King Yan, this giant Kongming lantern is related to people's livelihood, and after I reported it to my father, my father also attached great importance to it.

The Wang family, Li family, Gongsun family and other aristocratic families who have studied Feitian were invited to study this thing together.

I believe that after a while, the designed items will be handed over to King Wei. "Yan Xuansui said respectfully to Li Tai.

"Wang family, Li family, Gongsun family?" Li Tai was a little dazed when he heard Yan Xuansui's words.

"They are all small families of craftsmen." Yan Xuansui said to Li Tai, "Because my father is the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he is in charge of supervising the construction of the imperial tomb all year round, so he has dealings with big and small craftsmen and construction families."

"So that's it!" Li Tai was thoughtful when he heard Yan Xuansui's words.

The Tang Dynasty can be said to be the pinnacle of the entire feudal era. This pinnacle is not only cultural, but also a skill passed down by the Han Dynasty family, which was actually passed down in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that these skills may have been in the hands of different people, but they can't touch them.

"Yan Shaoqing, I wonder if you can give me a copy of the rosters of these craftsmen's families?" Li Tai asked Yan Xuansui.

"The king of Wei needs the rosters of these craftsmen's families?" Yan Xuansui was a little stunned when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Yes!" Li Tai nodded and said, "Well, if you want these lists, will it violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's not true!" Yan Xuansui shook his head and said, "I'll go back and report to my father, I believe my father will!"

To be honest, you are qualified enough for many things, so many even irrelevant materials, as long as you open your mouth, you can get them.

At the same time, if you are not qualified enough, a lot of information will be blocked and kept secret from you.

And Li Tai's Wei Wang is a first-rank prince, and his ability has been respected by courtiers, so Li Tai's information is only a matter of one sentence, and to a certain extent, it is a national power.

After the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the aristocratic family went from being lawless to crying, and developed into the Tang Dynasty, a dynasty based on the aristocratic family. For the Tang Dynasty, the management of the aristocratic family was almost a compulsory course.

The kind of management method that hardly cared about the aristocratic family in the Han Dynasty was unrealistic in the Tang Dynasty. If the mainstream of the Han Dynasty was to develop the aristocratic family, then the mainstream of the Tang Dynasty was to fight against the aristocratic family.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural that Datang would collect information from families of all sizes.

Li Tai did not expect to get unexpected joy from Yan Xuansui, and after learning about the progress of the giant Kongming lantern, he returned to Wei Wang's mansion with peace of mind.

Now Li Tai is not in a hurry at all. After all, compared with the giant Kongming lantern, the news of the small family of craftsmen that Yan Xuansui learned today is more important to Li Tai.

Because Li Tai also had to consider what kind of attitude he would take towards the family in the future, even when he went to Luoyang by himself, he needed to face the family.

In remote areas, the aristocratic family will be more of his help, but in a place like Luoyang, Li Tai really can't guarantee whether the aristocratic family will be his help.

After all, the top aristocratic families developed in these places, and the five surnames and seven Wangs have formed reproductive isolation from ordinary people to some extent.

Under such circumstances, what kind of actions these aristocratic families would take, to be honest, Li Tai couldn't make an appropriate decision.

But no matter how you say it, the appearance of these small families of craftsmen made Li Tai's eyes shine. Originally, in Li Tai's view, the so-called craftsmen had no place in the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that he misunderstood it.

In fact, these families of craftsmen, like the families of scripture heirs, survived the Tang Dynasty in the chaotic era. In fact, most of the architectural crafts of the Tang Dynasty can see the shadows of these families.

It's just that, compared to the Han Dynasty, when you inherited Confucius as a Zi, the Mozi I inherited was not a Zi. The attitude of being able to speak a few words with the Confucian inheritance is basically gone.

Although these craftsman families have not been completely knocked out of the dust, they have been rejected by mainstream families.

Because the aristocratic families in the new era no longer value everything other than authority after going through the chaos.

The disaster of Wu Huan Hua made them clearly know that without the protection of the country, their aristocratic family is too fragile.

Naturally, it was born. If the country can't protect itself, then it should protect the country by itself, and also protect itself by itself. To a certain extent, the Guanlong Group is the product of this concept.

Therefore, the surviving family no longer takes the route of development, but the route of fighting for power and profit.

And because of this change in the general environment, the artisan family has directly become non-mainstream.

It was okay during the chaotic war period, because craftsmen were needed due to the war, so the rewards for craftsmen were still good, but with the unification of the country, the status of the craftsman family plummeted.

Not to mention the need for development, even if you want to survive, you need a group of craftsmen to survive with difficulty.

Of course, because the artisan family itself belongs to the class of scholars, they still maintain a little glory.

Through their skills, they can directly become the technical bureaucrats of the imperial court and survive in the Ministry of Industry.

And this kind of survival mode was at the end of the Tang Dynasty. With the fall of the Tang Dynasty, they even cut off their natural survival capital of scholars.

At the same time, Confucianism has completely become the theory that governs China under the development of individual talents.

This completely separates the words craftsman and family, and basically they can only barely make ends meet by relying on family skills.

And this power of artisans inherited in the family really surprised Li Tai, and at the same time Li Tai also understood that at least for him, this was a good angle to intervene in the family.

After all, I never thought that I would challenge the whole world by myself. All I need is to distinguish who my friends are and who my enemies are, and then increase my friends and reduce my enemies.

Now I can see that the family has the potential to become my friend.

"Let's wait for Yan Xuansui to copy the catalog first, I need to think about how to treat them!"

Li Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, knocked on the desk unconsciously, and couldn't help but think,

"I still need to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang. If I continue to stay in Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything!

So mother, can you quickly choose a concubine? As long as it is a woman, she can live. I can't wait! "

But Li Tai's broken thoughts didn't know if they reached his mother's ears.

But Princess Wei soon confirmed that Yan Wan, the daughter of Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, presided over the wedding ceremony in person after Empress Changsun recovered from illness in the tenth year of Zhenguan.

And when he watched Yan Xuanxuan come to give the dowry, Li Tai conveniently handed him the seemingly thick roster. Li Tai flipped through a few pages, and it also recorded in detail what each family was good at and the skills they mastered.

And the name on the first line of the roster was not the Yan family that Li Tai thought it was, but the Zheng family of Xingyang with five surnames Qiwang, which surprised Li Tai a bit.

But after Li Tai got this Yan Wan's dowry, he realized that the Yan family seemed to have made a small bet on him.

After all, for their family of craftsmen, they are also eager to stand up.

The prince's Confucianism said that he didn't have enough points, and he couldn't squeeze in at all, so he had to grit his teeth and press on himself.

　It's late today, because today's DOTA competition is too exciting.
