Yipin Tang

Chapter 191 The Emperor's Heart
There are good and bad evaluations of Li Shimin in history, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a good emperor.

As the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, it is the most common thing to build a Tangquan Palace in Lishan and go to the hot springs when there is nothing to do. The kings of all dynasties have made large-scale construction projects to build palaces.

However, since Li Er came to the throne, he never dared to indulge himself arbitrarily, and even deliberately set up a mirror like Wei Zheng to remind himself all the time, which shows that he has always been in awe. Because of awe and strict self-discipline, he can be diligent in government and love the people for decades, even hesitating to build a Tangquan Palace.

Wang Xiang asked himself that if he was in such a high position, he would never be able to work hard like Li Er, and his self-discipline was almost harsh, so he never denied that he was just a small person.

Many people are envious and jealous of other people's status, and attribute other people's success to their unique status or luck. They think that if they are in that position, they can do better, but they don't know that no success is accidental.Enduring what ordinary people can't bear, what ordinary people dare not do, is not as simple as imagined, so in China's thousands of years of history, there are only a few prosperous times, more of them turn from prosperity to decline, the mountains and rivers are overturned, and finally disappear In the long river of history...

Because of the appearance of Wang Xiang, the Tang Dynasty in the tenth year of Zhenguan is much more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty in the tenth year of Zhenguan in history. However, Li Er still dare not slack off in the slightest. They were all reading books, or reviewing memorials, or discussing matters with ministers. Most of the time, they ate casually in the Taiji Hall. Occasionally, when they saw him relaxing, they just talked with Empress Changsun in the Lizheng Hall.

To be honest, this is very different from Wang Xiang's imagination of the eternal emperor's life, at least he feels that his life is much more comfortable than Li Er's.

Walking into the Tai Chi Hall, Li Erzheng sat on the dragon chair with frowning eyes and looked down at a memorial. There were several open memorials beside him. Chen Gui stood by respectfully and smiled friendly when he saw Wang Xiang coming in.

Wang Xiang also responded to Chen Gui's kindness with a slight smile, then bowed to Li Er and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty."

"You're here."

Hearing Wang Xiang's voice, Li Er put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his temples with both hands. The headache seemed to be inherited from Li Er's family. Even Sun Simiao couldn't solve it completely, and Wang Xiang couldn't help it either.

Seeing that Li Er's expression was not very good, Wang Xiang asked cautiously, "Why is Your Majesty so frowning?"

Li Er sighed when he heard the words, pointed to the memorial on the table and said: "It has snowed heavily for several days in a row, and there are many snow disasters in various places. These are the memorials for reporting disasters."

Snowstorm?Wang Xiang has never seen what a snow disaster looks like in his previous or present life. There were indeed several heavy snowfalls in the past few days. He just thought that such a heavy snowfall was rare. How could he think of a snow disaster when he was in the mansion with little Lolita making a snowman and having a snowball fight? Seeing Li Er's frowning look, he suddenly felt a little ashamed, and he didn't even know how to talk about building a hot spring house.

Seeing that Wang Xiang was silent, Li Er said, "I heard from the young slave that you want to build a Tangquan house in Lishan?"

"Ah? Your Majesty knows?" Wang Xiang was surprised. Thinking of the snowstorm everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, he thought about building a hot spring house, and he felt ashamed and terrified.

Seeing Wang Xiang's shame and panic, Li Er shook his head. Wang Xiang's monsters sometimes even feel afraid of Li Er, but as Empress Changsun said, he will never threaten himself, because he has no ambition, and he can even say Without self-motivation, such a person has no threat to himself even if he has the ability to reach the sky.Thinking of this, Li Er smiled helplessly. As an emperor, it was the first time for him to hope that others would have ambitions. He believed that as long as Wang Xiang had a little self-motivated or ambitious, it would bring great changes to Datang.

"But this time I want to thank you."

"Huh?" Wang Xiang raised his head and looked at the smiling Li Er suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.

"In previous years, when encountering such frequent snow disasters, the common people would suffer countless deaths and injuries. The roads were blocked by heavy snow and transportation was inconvenient. Even if the imperial court wanted to provide disaster relief, it was too late to dispatch relief funds and supplies. But this year is different, because of your suggestion that almost all the Tang Dynasty has set up banks, The banks have accumulated a lot of money, so I have ordered the banks in various places to allocate funds for disaster relief first, and the merchants and gentry from all over the place have also generously provided relief, and I am very pleased with their hard work."

In fact, Li Er knew in his heart that the reason why those merchants and squires were so generous was that they had a lot of money in the bank and dared not behave badly.In any case, Li Er's prestige among the common people would definitely be greatly improved if he could provide disaster relief in time this time. The most important thing is that this incident proved that his original thinking was completely correct.

Hearing that there was a solution to the snow disaster, Wang Xiang was also relieved. Li Er's solution was really good. He first allocated funds from various banks for disaster relief, and then asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to deliver the relief funds to the banks in various places. It is many times faster than appropriating funds from Chang'an for disaster relief, and it can greatly reduce the casualties of the affected people.

"It is His Majesty's wisdom to come up with such a clever plan."

Li Er shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to flatter me anymore. You have contributed a lot to the disaster relief this time. I will allow you to build the Tangquan house in Lishan."

Wang Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

However, what Li Er said next gave him a bad premonition.

"In the early years, I fought and fought outside all the year round. Since I took the throne, I have worked hard on state affairs every day and dare not slack off. Now I am sick from overwork, and my whole body aches unbearably when it is cold. Sun Daochang said that Tangquan can relieve my pain. My illness persuaded me to build Tangquan Palace in Lishan to recuperate my body, but the world has just been set and the people have not yet had enough food and clothing.

Wang Xiang blinked his eyes and looked at Li Er "unknown", why did you tell me these things?

Seeing that Wang Xiang didn't respond, Li Er continued: "The queen's qi disease becomes more serious as the weather gets colder. I'm so worried. Daoist Sun said that soup spring is also good for treating qi disease."

What does this have to do with me?Wang Xiang continued to blink.

Well, Li Er is just waiting for me to speak.

"Well, since that's the case, His Majesty can let people build Tangquan Palace in Mount Li."

Li Eryi slapped his thigh and let out a long sigh: "I originally planned to do this too, but the world has been set for the first time, and the people have not yet..."

Wang Xiang's expression turned pale: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do..." After getting in touch with Li Er for a long time, he lost the awe he had before, and Li Er's attitude towards him also gradually changed. Sometimes the two are more like friends , or in other words, the turn of the year.

Wang Xiang was the only one who dared to show face in front of Li Er, and Chen Gui was terrified to see it.

"Cough...Chen Gui, you go out and wait first, I have something to discuss with Marquis Jiayuan."
