Chapter 400: Building the Palace

"What? Do you want to do your filial piety and pay out of your own pocket to rebuild a palace for me to live in? His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile: "Filial piety is commendable, but the palace is not said to be repaired." ”

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

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

"The father and the queen mother advocate frugality, in the whole palace, there is no extravagance, even if the Tang Dynasty treasury is increasingly full, this good character is still retained in the palace, not in the palace to build a palace, it is indeed advocating frugality, but this thrift, there must also be a bet." Xuan Shijing said: "This Chang'an City and the palace are built by the former Sui, the former Sui built the capital, guided by the Zhou Yi gossip, but after all, the terrain of this Chang'an City has not been considered, now His Majesty lives in the Taiji Palace, in the entire Chang'an City terrain is the lowest place, every time it rains, the water of the Taiji Palace is difficult to remove, which is why every summer, the Taiji Palace is humid and stuffy, the father and the emperor fought everywhere when he was young, lost his body, and it is not suitable to live in this Taiji Palace for a long time, this is for the private, in the public, Now the reputation of the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prominent, and the imperial palace built by the former Sui is no longer worthy of the prominence of the Tang Dynasty today. ”

"Listen to you, if I decree the construction of a palace, then its scale must be above the scale of the current Taiji Palace, and it is not advisable to waste money and labor." His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, but he said that he was still a little moved by Xuan Shijing's statement in his heart, but Xuan Shijing's statement was not enough for His Majesty Li Er to order the construction of the palace under this guise.

"The Tang Dynasty is now congratulated by all the people, and the Quartet can be raised, from a few years ago, when the Great Dynasty was held, the minister felt that this Taiji Palace was not enough." Xuan Shijing said: "The minister thinks that this is also a big deal, Your Majesty may wish to summon the minister, discuss this matter together, and then make a decision, the adults in the court, will not necessarily oppose the minister's proposal, General Hou Junji defeated Gaochang, the minister destroyed Goguryeo, General Su Dingfang destroyed Baekje, plus the Tang Dynasty in recent years, the wealth in the treasury is enough to support the new palace of the Tang Dynasty." ”

His Majesty Li Er, the excerpt of the household department, has seen it, and His Majesty Li Er also understands the current situation of the Datang treasury, not to mention that it is the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, which is the wealth of the Internal Affairs Office, and it is about to be unable to let go.

"Alas, I will think about this new palace." His Majesty Li Er said.

His Majesty Li Er is also tossed enough by this illness, if he can build a new palace, move to a new palace to live, and get rid of this humid environment, it is also a good choice.

"Speaking of which, how did you come up with the idea of proposing a new palace for me?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"When the minister entered the palace this morning, it was still raining lightly, the minister walked from home to the direction of the palace, entered the imperial city, and then entered the palace, the more he went to the direction of the Taiji Palace, the more water on the ground, when he arrived in front of the Taiji Palace, the minister's shoes were already momentum, and the minister saw that his father was sick, and he felt that it was also because the environment of the Taiji Palace was unsatisfactory, so his father's illness was even worse, and then think about this Taiji Palace, all aspects were summed up, since we have this ability, There should also be a palace that truly belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Xuan Shijing said.

The Taiji Palace in Chang'an City has always been built by the former Sui Dynasty, and Yang Jian is even more thrifty than His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, and even repairing a palace is very simple.

And His Majesty Li Er was put on the hat of the Heavenly Khan, since this identity has been added, the Tang Dynasty has also taken on the responsibility of all the countries to come to the court, and the big country must also have the demeanor of a great country, Taiji Palace, which seems to be a little childish.

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

Regarding the construction of the new palace, His Majesty Li Er was even more moved.

As early as when Xuan Shijing had not been proposed, it was more than ten years ago, and Xuan Shijing was still a child at that time, and His Majesty Li Er ordered the construction of a new palace, but this palace was completely used to honor Emperor Li Yuan, that is, Yong'an Palace, Hanyuan Palace, on the Longshou Plain in the northeast of Chang'an City.

The scale of this Yong'an Palace is not large, that is, a main hall, including the Yuan Palace, plus some side halls.

His Majesty Li Er is a person who pursues perfection in his life, although the throne is not right, but he still wants to leave the name of a filial son, so he built Yong'an Palace for Emperor Li Yuan.

"Deyi, summon the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yan Lide, and Yan Liben to the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters." His Majesty Li Er said.

"No." After Deyi responded, he went out and instructed the little yellow gate outside the hall to go to the three provinces to invite people.

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

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

Even if the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty was burned clean by An Lushan, it was also a world-famous existence, just the size, there were four large Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

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

"Father, ......"

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

"Yes." Xuan Shijing responded.

I don't know if I proposed to build a palace by myself, and if I would end up with the name of a flattering minister in the future.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu as well?" Xuan Shijing said.

"What do you want them to do?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"The minister is afraid that Lord Changsun and Lord Chu will not agree, and the minister alone will say that he can't help the two of them, and the minister wants to find two helpers." Xuan Shijing said honestly.

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

Because neither of these two people is a good thing....... Xuan Shijing thought in his heart: "The eldest grandson and the eldest Chu are both upright ministers, building a palace, as my father said, is a move to work the people and lose money, although the government has this strength, but Your Majesty has always advocated frugality, so rashly proposed, the two adults are afraid that the matter will be dismissed, as for the two people who said that the two people in the court, they act smoothly in the court, and they can best understand the sacred heart, and call the two of them to come, since it is Your Majesty's decision, then these two people will definitely stand on the side of Your Majesty and Weichen, help Your Majesty, and Yucheng This matter." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "You kid, this is not an obvious statement that Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu are sycophants. ”
