Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 334 Daming Palace

When it comes to King Teng and King Jiang, Li Chengqian gets angry. These two guys do everything, but they don't do good things.

Moreover, they are also very greedy for money, constantly using various means to collect money, and they eat ugly.

Teng Wang Li Yuanying is his youngest uncle Li Chengqian, and Jiang Wang Li Yun is his younger brother.

Compared with Teng Wang Li Yuanying, although Li Yun is a bastard, he is much more peaceful than Li Yuanying. Apart from collecting money, he rarely does anything too outrageous.

Li Yuanying, Prince of Teng, was not the case. He caused troubles everywhere, and was extravagant and licentious.

During the mourning period for the first emperor, he hunted unrestrainedly, opened the city gate many times at night to disturb the common people, sometimes shot people with slingshots, and sometimes buried people in the snow to make fun of them.

This naturally aroused public dissatisfaction. Therefore, the censors often impeached Li Yuanying, and the court naturally punished him severely, changing places for him many times and deducting his salary.

Even so, he still has no remorse at all, so what should he do or what should he do.

Li Yuanying built three Tengwang Pavilions during his lifetime, and many literati and poets created many good sentences because of his Tengwang Pavilions.

Of course, in addition to nonsense, Li Yuanying's painting level is also extremely high. As a vassal king, his father and brother are both emperors, so they are naturally well-educated.

Now I still need to give them an explanation, what can I do if I don't give them?
"What? If I don't reward them, can they turn against me?" Li Chengqian said dissatisfied.

"This..." Zong Zhengqing didn't know how to answer for a while, saying that the two of them would rebel, and no one believed it anyway.

Based on the two of them, not to mention whether they have the ability, they may not even have the courage to rebel.

"I remember that when the first emperor was in mourning, the emperor's uncle Yuanying did a lot of illegal things, not to mention extravagance and lust, and disturbed the people."

"I ordered people to send him a letter, warning him: There are many ways to make fun of jokes, how can such an absurd monarch like Jin Linggong be worth following?"

"I and you are close relatives, and I can't bear to bring you to justice. Now I set Uncle Wang's examination level as inferior, so as to make you feel ashamed."

"But how did he do it? Still letting his temper go, still going his own way."

"My decree: Teng Wangshu and Jiang Wangdi can manage and accumulate by themselves, and there is no need to reward them with property; give them two carts of hemp, and make ropes to string money." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Zong Zhengqing took the order, said nothing more, and retreated back!
"The Tai Chi Palace is low and humid, and it may be submerged in the event of a flood. The summer is too hot. After careful consideration, I decided to find another place to build a new palace."

"What place in Chang'an do you think is suitable for building a new imperial palace?" Li Chengqian said.

The location of Taiji Palace is indeed not very good. Affected by the weather, Li Chengqian is really uncomfortable to live in, so he thought of building Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty! Now that the world is in peace and the people have just lived and worked in peace and contentment, it is really inappropriate for you to make such a large-scale construction project. The Taiji Palace is not uninhabitable, and you can waste people's and financial resources to build other palaces." Doctor Admonish stood up and objected.

"Tai Chi Palace is extremely hot in summer, and it is rainy and humid in spring. Once it rains for a long time, it may cause mountain torrents. At that time, the palace will be submerged by flood water. Do you want me to be buried in the flood?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty is serious! Is there any high ground in the Taiji Palace? If there is a flood, your Majesty only needs to climb up to the high ground and wait for the flood to recede."

"Summer is hot and hot, Your Majesty can go to other places to escape the heat. Didn't Gaozu and Taizong come here in the same way, and I didn't see anything wrong with them." Advised the doctor.

Li Chengqian built the Daming Palace not for himself, but for the future of the Tang Dynasty. Daming Palace will be the political center and national symbol of the Tang Dynasty. The center and the symbol of the Tang Dynasty.

"I don't need to say much, Aiqing. I have already decided to build another palace in Chang'an City. Tell me, what is the most suitable place?" Li Chengqian said.

He doesn't intend to talk nonsense with these people, and waste effort by grinding his mouth, it's better to be straightforward, otherwise, if the quarrel continues like this, there will never be any results.

Everyone shut up after hearing this, most of them disagreed with Li Chengqian giving up the Tai Chi Palace and building a new palace.

In their hearts, there is no palace that can compare to the status of the Taiji Palace. Now the emperor builds another palace and transfers everything in the Taiji Palace to the new palace, which is unacceptable to them.

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty!" Just when Li Chengqian was about to explode, Xu Jingzong stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty! When the late emperor was alive, he once built a summer palace for Gao Zu."

"Where does the minister think is suitable for building a new palace?"

"Xu Qing is talking about Longshouyuan on the north side of Chang'an City?" Li Chengqian asked.

After what Xu Jingzong said, he remembered Longshou. Tang Taizong built a summer palace for Gaozu in Longshouyuan. Unfortunately, Gaozu passed away before the project could be completed!

The matter of building the palace just ended like this. Since then, no one has mentioned this matter again.

The location of Longshouyuan is indeed the most suitable choice.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Longshouyuan has an excellent geographical location and is the best choice for building a new palace." Xu Jingzong said.

"Okay! What Xu Qing said is good! I have decided to build the Daming Palace on the Dragon Head Plain, and I will be the master Yan Liben." Li Chengqian smiled, and named the master who was in charge of the design and construction of the royal project.

"The minister is here!" Hearing the emperor calling him, Yan Liben hurried out to salute.

"I ordered you to be responsible for the planning, design and construction of the Daming Palace. The Daming Palace must be large in scale and vigorous." Li Chengqian said.

"I obey the order!" Yan Liben said.

"Go back and think carefully about how to build the Daming Palace. You don't need people to be overwhelmed by the aura of the palace after a first glance, so as to arouse a sense of awe."

"In this way, we can demonstrate the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty. The Daming Palace is not just a palace, but a symbol of the Tang Dynasty. Do you understand?" Li Chengqian said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely design a palace that meets your Majesty's expectations, but it will take time." Yan Liben said.

This is a huge project, and it cannot be designed and built in the blink of an eye.

"That's no problem. I'll give you ten years to build me the Daming Palace I want." Li Chengqian said.

"I obey the order!" Yan Liben said, ten years is enough time for him to complete this big project.

After finalizing the construction of the Daming Palace, Li Chengqian announced his withdrawal from the court.
