Chapter 61: Strange, Strange
The sunny summer of Chang'an slipped unconsciously in the construction of Ci'en Temple, in this seemingly uneventful July, the position of the eldest grandson Wuji's three princes sat more and more steadily, and there was no mistake in the affairs of Shangshu Province through his agent, which made Li Yuanjing and the Yang family who were waiting for the opportunity to move on the side extremely depressed, so that every time they saw the prince and the eldest grandson Wuji, they couldn't help but have a black face.

Li Ke in this period of time but on the contrary to live a particularly leisurely life, every day after the morning court, either practice riding and archery or call friends, three or five times will enter the palace in front of Li Shimin to show filial piety, care about the body of the father, the relationship between the two fathers and sons is more harmonious than before, from time to time Li Shimin will also give something to this filial son.
Such a harmonious atmosphere in the court even affected the Chang'an Street Market, the bustling street market in the dignitaries unintentionally promoted by the more lively, until the autumn breeze started, the coolness on the face, people were shocked to realize that it had entered the autumn!
At this time, the Temple of Mercy and Grace has been a thriving scene, gathering the best craftsmen in Chang'an, the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace has almost broken the record of the construction of the temple in the past, but in just two months, the large buildings of the Temple of Mercy and Grace have been in rudiment, and the surrounding garden scenery has begun to take shape.
"Your Majesty! In view of the fact that July is cloudy, and there is a ghost festival, so it is not suitable to carry out large-scale sacrifices, the ceremonial ministers of the main beam of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Temple of Mercy and Grace suggested that it be moved to the beginning of August. ”
In the morning light of the Ganlu Palace, Yang Yunsong, the official of Si Tiantai, knelt down at the foot of the steps and played.
Buddhism says that ninety-nine is one, and Yang Yunsong originally planned to move it to September, taking the day of Chongyang's ascension on September 9, which is not only in line with the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures, but also a day of great luck.
However, September is already late autumn, if the time of Shangzheng Liang is delayed to that time, the construction period is unfavorable, so after discussing with the prince's mansion Li Sheren, the two sides compromised, and chose the ninth day of August, which is also slightly in line with the Buddhist scriptures, and the day is also auspicious.
"The ninth day of August?" Li Shimin looked at Yang Yunsong, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and groaned slightly.
This person studied under Yuan Tiangang, but he also has some skills, so it doesn't matter! The ninth day of August is the ninth day of the first month! It was built earlier, and it was better to set up a scripture hall for Guanyin to worship it from time to time. Thinking of this, Li Shimin raised his hand and signaled to the Yellow Gate official.
"Quasi-play-!" The Huangmen official, who was standing beside Li Shimin, saw Li Shimin's gesture and sang knowingly.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, who was already slightly shaking at the bottom of the steps, and then looked at the gray-haired eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. We're all old! My body has been unpleasant these days, even my eyes seem to be bad, it seems that people still have to serve the old!
When his eyes turned slightly, he saw the prince standing in front of the steps, and Li Shimin couldn't help but smile. Since these days, Ke'er has not made trouble for Li Zhi anymore, maybe this son has seen it! If Zhi'er can have Ke'er's support, why can't Datang worry about the country's longevity?
It's just that Mo'er has been wronged! Li Shimin sighed slightly, what he owes Mo'er in this life, I'm afraid that he won't have a chance to repay! Let's just hope he will hold less grudges! Looking at Li Zhijunyi's appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Mo'er who was running around for the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and his heart was a little gloomy.
"Zhi'er! How is the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace? Li Shimin asked with a slightly raised voice.
"Father, the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace is going smoothly now, and on the ninth day of the eighth month, the walls of the four sides of the Daxiong Treasure Hall can be completed."
Li Zhi walked out of the court and said, although he didn't go to the construction site every day, but Li Mo had always sent someone to report to him, and he was still very sure of the progress.
"That's good!" Li Shimin paused slightly, and then said: "The one in charge of the construction site is the Li Sheren in your house?" ”
"Exactly, every day is now on the construction site."
Li Zhi bowed his head and replied, but he lowered his head slightly, but he didn't see the gleam in Li Ke's eyes standing opposite him.
As soon as Li Shimin mentioned this sheren, Li Ke noticed that he vaguely felt something about his father's hesitant attitude, but when he thought about it, it was like a veil in front of him, so that he could never see through what was in it.
Li Mo - give up people! What does he really represent? Li Ke looked at the prince's younger brother who was bent down with some amusement. It seems that there are a lot of secrets in your house!
"Spread my will, give Li Sheren a hundred palace satin, a lake bead, a volume of Jinsha Buddhist scriptures, and five palace maids to serve and live, and order him to build a temple of mercy and grace for me, and I will be rewarded for doing a good job!"
Li Shimin looked at the still scorching sun outside, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Li Mo's body, such a hot weather, if you look at it on the construction site every day, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand it after a long time!
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Zhi's mouth. Since Li Mo supervised the construction of Ci'en, the rewards of his father and the emperor have not been interrupted, and this time there are so many rewards at once, and the dragon of the holy family is really unique for a while, but I am afraid that it will not be long before a matchmaker will come to the door, right?
"Sons obey orders!" Although he smiled secretly in his heart, Li Zhi still replied in a regular manner.
"Your Majesty! I don't think it's appropriate. ”
Just when everyone in the court was secretly smacking their tongues for Li Mo's holy family, a voice with implied dissatisfaction sounded.
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Lu Yougong, the servant of the Imperial Historical Observatory, who stood up.
Li Shimin stared at Lu Yougong with three locks of long hair floating on his chest with an unkind face, if he remembered well, this person should be a member of the Fanyang Lu clan, this person stood up at this time, didn't he want to make a name? He, Li Shimin, rewarded his son with something, when did he need these people to make noise here?
The emperor stared at the courtiers here with anger in his stomach, but he didn't think at all that he didn't admit it, how would people know that Li Mo was his emperor's son?
Lu Yougong only cared about playing on his neck, but he didn't see Li Shimin's dissatisfaction at all.
Li Ke couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at this Lu Yougong, this person is a descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family, but the Fan Yang Lu family has always been close to him, and he is not very close.
At this time, he saw that this stunned young man touched his father's moldy head, and he thought about watching from the wall, and see how his father dealt with this person! Maybe you can see some clues from this, but not necessarily?
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Lu Yougong with a little crying and laughing, and made a loyal minister with his neck stalked. How could he not know Li Shimin's thoughts? This emperor feels sorry for his son, but unfortunately he can't say it clearly, so he can only reward things with all his might! It's good for this second person to be stunned, but he is holding on to this matter, isn't this clearly touching the emperor's bad head?
"Oh? What's wrong? ”
Just when the eldest grandson Wuji was about to open his mouth to plead for this Lord Lu, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top seat, opened his mouth with a cold face.
"Li Mo is just a prince of the prince, his position is only six grades, even if there is a little merit, the emperor is so generous reward is against the norm, and since he is in charge of the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the emperor's reward is really amazing, if you follow this example, and then there are those who have high merit, what will the emperor reward?"
Lu Yougong didn't care about the coldness in the emperor's words, he has always been proud of his background, and he thinks highly of himself when he became famous at a young age, in his eyes, Li Mo is just a prince, who has no merit and a humble status, but he has repeatedly received such a generous reward for building temples, which is simply to be favored by small merits!
Li Shimin held back his anger and looked at the arrogant servant Shi under the stairs. Could it be that his Mo'er is usually angry like this? What official is not more than six grades? What is nothing but a sacrificial person? It's a beggar! is also his son of Li Shimin! Shall such people be allowed to be bullied?
Li Zhi and eldest grandson Wuji glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
In the past, most of the rewards given by Li Shimin to Li Mo were directly brought back in the rewards given to Li Zhi, but this time Li Mo took over the errand to supervise the construction of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, which made many rewards come to the fore. The two of them had also advised Li Shimin in private, and such frequent rewards would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, before the doubters came forward, the opponents jumped out!
"A little bit of effort? Lord Lu! Lu Yushi! I don't think so! Li Shimin laughed angrily, "Since Lord Lu thinks that Li Sheren is just a little meritorious, then Lord Lu, what merits do you have?" Why don't you speak up and listen to it? ”
Lu Yougong's face flushed suddenly, although the emperor's words were strong, he couldn't refute them.
Does he really want to list all the things he has done since he took office? Isn't he competing for favor with a six-grade official? Besides, since he took office, he has only been following the rules and not making mistakes, and when it comes to merit, he really can't say anything!
"Your Majesty! The emperor forgives the sins! Lu Yougong saw that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, and he knelt down in panic.
"If you have nothing to say, shut your mouth up for me! It's not up to you to decide which of my subordinates I like! I have eyes, I can see for myself! ”
Li Shimin looked at Lu Yougong who shrank into a ball in disgust, such a person is really annoying! I don't have the size of the merit, but I look down on the rewards that others have received!
"Tell me the will! Lu Yougong was demoted to the county order, I want to see how you can fight for my reward with a little skill! Retreat! Li Shimin swept away in anger, leaving only the officials of the first hall looking at each other.
Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly at each other, it seems that Li Mo has really become the backscale of his father! This Lu Yougong only told two truths, but he suffered an unwarranted disaster! Alas! Forget it, find him a place with simpler folk customs and richer customs! The right is compensation.
The two stepped forward and comforted Lu Yougong softly, but seeing that he was still depressed, they didn't say any more, sighed lightly, and made a gesture with the rest of the officials and followed out of the hall one after the other.
That's a lot of fun! The father would actually belittle a servant for Li Mo? It seems that the investigation of Li Mo will be stepped up! Li Ke looked meaningfully at Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had already gone away, and followed out of the hall after a while.
Li Jing looked at the empty dragon seat, and there was some doubt in his eyes. He has followed Li Shimin for a long time, and he has never seen Li Shimin belittle a servant of the Imperial History Platform in order to reward a six-grade petty official.
It's puzzling! Li Jing shook his head, but his body on crutches paused when he turned around, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
When Empress Changsun gave birth to Li Zhi, the strange scene flashed into his mind again, could it be ...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
