Chapter 442
Hearing what Li Zhiwan said, Li Jiancheng smiled and said emotionally: "You don't care about it, it doesn't mean that others don't care about it. Since ancient times, the people with the least kindness are the emperor's family. They are as heroic as Emperor Wu of Han, and they can even kill their own sons. In ancient times, brothers fought for power, and there were fewer cases of cannibalism. Since entering Chang'an, the people of the world have changed, Yuanji has changed, and I have changed, and only you in the family can talk to me a few words. .”

Li Zhiwan heard the words and said: "Brother, Brother Boyi and Shuqi don't want to be the king, they would rather not be the king, but in Zhou Dynasty, the righteousness of filial piety has existed in ancient and modern times, how can they be disregarded just because they are in the emperor's family?"

Li Jiancheng said: "You should go and tell your second brother about this. Look at your second brother. He opened the Tiance Mansion, recruited talented people, made friends with famous people, and fought openly and secretly with the East Palace. I have endured him for more than a day or two. .As long as he doesn’t compete with me for the crown prince, I’m willing to give him anything.”

Li Zhi said softly: "I believe that the second brother is not such a person who disregards brotherhood for his own ambitions. The world is not at peace now. He recruits talents for the purpose of going eastward and destroying Wang Shichong and Liu Heitai. This is also permitted by the emperor. Yuan Ji, and several other uncles are generally like this, do you want to target them all?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Among the few brothers, I know that you are closer to your second brother when you were young, but you can't use your emotions to think that your second brother is really as modest and gentleman as he looks. No, it’s okay if you don’t believe me today, wait and see in the future, I know that one day in the future, I’ll just say that if I fall out with your second brother, whose side will you stand between us?”

Hearing this, Li Zhiwan raised her head to look at Li Jiancheng, but saw that he looked serious.

Li Zhiwan said seriously: "If there is such a day when brothers kill each other, then the one who survives will not be my elder brother, but my enemy!"

Hearing Li Zhiwan's resolute tone, Li Jiancheng was slightly surprised, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's the third sister. Fortunately, you're not a man, otherwise I'd be really afraid of you. Let's go, let's talk while walking."

The two of them then paced by the Qujiang Pool, with the attendants following far behind.

When everyone saw that the prince and the princess seemed to be arguing just now, they were secretly startled, and they could only silently beg the two Highnesses not to quarrel, lest they lose their sense of proportion and harm Chi Yu.

The two walked in silence for a while, Li Zhiwan raised her head to look at Li Jiancheng, and asked, "Brother, do you blame me for what I said just now?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Third sister, in your eyes, is your elder brother such a small-hearted person?"

Li Zhiwan smiled and said: "I still remember when I was a child, I broke your carp float during Chinese New Year, and you haven't spoken to me for a month."

Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "It's you who hold grudges, third sister. At that time, you were just like a boy. You spent all day with our older ones. Dad didn't know what was in the interest of you, so you wouldn't let your mother teach you what to do." You female red female commandment, but taught you bow horse riding and archery, and you and your second brother can learn everything at once, but I was far behind, I didn't know how much I hated you at that time, this carp can't float It's just an excuse."

Both siblings smiled.

Li Zhiwan said leisurely: "I really miss when you taught me calligraphy, my second brother and I rode horses and archery, and Xuan Ba ​​and Yuan Ji followed behind without knowing anything. It will be fine forever."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said nothing.

Li Zhiwan pursed her lips and said: "I know that you are laughing at me, big brother. People are like this. When I was young, I was carefree because of my pure heart. As I got older, I became obsessed, so I became obsessed. Big brother, you want to be perfect in everything. It’s bound to be exhausting.”

Li Jiancheng said: "Third sister, you and the people of the world have been outstanding since childhood. Of course you don't understand that I am mediocre except for my proficiency in literature. But you and Shimin are above me in everything. It is so difficult for me to face my father. It’s okay to be in Tang Guogong’s mansion, but now I’m in Chang’an. I’m the master of the East Palace, but I know how many eyes are watching, There must be no mistakes in every move. In the past two years, I haven't had a good night's sleep or a good meal."

"To tell you the truth, if I knew this earlier, I might as well not be the crown prince, but right now it's hard to get rid of the crown prince. Since ancient times, the fate of the crown prince has been abolished. Yang Yong in the previous dynasty is a lesson from the past."
Li Zhi said softly: "Yang Yong's failure is his own fault. As long as the elder brother keeps his duty, how can the father abolish the establishment? This Eastern Palace Prince was established by the father, which shows that the father still thinks highly of you in his heart and thinks of you. He is more competent than the second brother, if you have worries, you can speak to the father, the father is wise and wise, and there will be arrangements."
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Father is currently worrying about all kinds of things and is so busy, how can he pay attention to my affairs. Since the beginning of winter this year, Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, has been instructed by Turks to violate the border again and again. Turks intend to Connecting Li Gui to threaten Li Tang, the father knew that he could not be an enemy of the Turks at this time. If the Turks wanted land, I would give him the land of two counties. If the Turks wanted money, I would give him money and silk. The Turks want women, so we in the Tang Dynasty will find women from good families and send them outside the Great Wall to please the foreigners."

"Also, after Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he enshrined the Emperor Tai as the emperor, and recruited more than [-] elite troops from the Wagang Army. He has established a foothold in the Eastern Capital. If the father wants to rule the world, he must go out of Guanzhong. In the future, there will be a relationship with Wang Shichong. There is also Li Chongjiu in Youzhou, who just defeated the Xia army, captured Dou Jiande alive, and established himself as king in Youzhou. The country is called Zhao, and he has more than [-] people. These are my Tang's potential enemies. You say that I, Li Tang, are looking at the flowers like a brocade, but in fact, there are many crises. At this time, the father respects him, Erlang, who is accustomed to fighting, and it is too late. How could you suppress him to protect my crown prince?"

Li Zhi said softly: "If the world is stable, the father will take back the military power of the second brother. Right now, there are still powerful enemies in the four directions. Brother, you must set an example in front of the ministers and share the worries for the father. No one can use any reason to make it easier for the prince to abolish the establishment."

Li Zhiwan persuaded her a few more times, but seeing that Li Jiancheng didn't listen, she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make up for the relationship between the elder brother and the second brother.Right now, she can only watch the two go further and further apart.

Youjing, Linshuo Palace.

In the seventh year of Daye, when Yang Guangyi conquered Goguryeo, he took a dragon boat to go north along Yongji Canal, and after reaching Jixian County, he lived in Linshuo Palace in the north of the city.Therefore, Linshuo Palace is also the location of the Li Palace where the Northern Sui Dynasty fought against Goguryeo.

When Li Chongjiu ascended the throne as the Queen of Zhao, Wen Yanbo and Gao Xudao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, made a petition together and said: "The residence of the Ninth Five-Year Lord must not be without a palace. Please choose an auspicious place in Youjing and set up a palace as the king's residence." .”

After Li Chongjiu heard what the two said, he felt that money is tight in Youzhou right now, and building a palace at this time is very extravagant, but right now Li Hu, Yang Ehuang, and Shi Deyun are all moving in together, and there are 300 people in the inner court. With the addition of his own guards, the original Youzhou governor's mansion is obviously not enough.

So Li Chongjiu ordered to slightly renovate the Linshuo Palace in the north of the city, and move in a month later.

After Li Chongjiu gave the order, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China issued an edict soon, and the construction plan was arranged to build a temple and immediately start the renovation of Linshuo Palace.

Zhao Heran, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, worked very hard after he got the order. Although Li Chongjiu said to renovate a little, how could he not do his best, immediately mobilized thousands of people to renovate Linshuo Palace, and rushed to finish it within a month.

Zhao Heran not only renovated, but also expanded the northern city of Youzhou, including Linshuo Palace. In addition to building a rammed earth city wall, he also built a royal road leading to the gate of the northern city that can accommodate two cars.

The Linshuo Palace after the completion of the repair went against Li Chongjiu's original intention. He didn't want to be extravagant and wasteful. It would cost a lot of money to repair the city wall and open up the royal road, plus the renovation of the Linshuo Palace.

But Zhao Heran said, the uterus of heaven is a state of appearance, so why not put one's heart into it.Zhao Heran was also supported by the rest of the officials.

Besides, after the renovation of Linshuo Palace, Yang Ehuang and Shi Deyun were very satisfied. Seeing that the two wives were happy, Li Chongjiu said nothing more, so he moved into Linshuo Palace to live.

But this time, Linshuo Palace welcomed the envoy from the south.

The Emperor Taizhu, who originally lived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, sent envoys to Youjing to congratulate Li Chongjiu on his ascension to the throne.
