Flowers can overwhelm the country and the city, wisdom can prosper the country and the country, and compassion must accommodate the world.

The death of Empress Changsun was not very sudden, but it still had a huge impact on Chang'an City.

Nanshan Construction Engineering stopped all the projects in its hands and tried its best to build Zhaoling in Yingshan, which was completed in just half a month.

And Li Shimin also personally issued an edict, nicknamed "Empress Wende".

This action, which seems very ordinary to everyone, is actually not ordinary at all.

In history, the first queen with an independent nickname was Wei Zifu, the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and anyone who has watched "The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty" knows Wei Zifu.

Starting from Wei Zifu and ending with Li Yuan's queen Dou, all the queens before only had a single word.

Only after the death of the emperor can the word in the emperor's nickname be added, the so-called "from the emperor".

Or take Li Yuan as an example, after he ascended the throne, he posthumously called Empress Dou "Queen Mu", and after Li Yuan died, he closed his nickname as "Queen Taimu".

And what about the eldest grandson queen?

was directly named "Empress Wende".

You must know that the ancients' attention to titles is far beyond everyone's imagination.

In the eyes of Datang people, "Wen" is the best nickname.

Even among all kinds of virtues, there is no better nickname than the word "Wen".

It can be seen that in Li Shimin's heart, only the single word "virtue" is not enough to show his kindness to the eldest grandson queen, and only by adding the word "Wen", which is most respected by everyone in the world, can he show the virtue of his queen.

It stands to reason that Li Shimin, as an eloquent emperor, will not be greatly affected by the death of the queen.

However, during this time, Li Shimin has been in a state of nostalgia for the eldest grandson.

It even built a temple on the palace wall of Daming Palace, and every day the next dynasty has to come here to look at the Zhaoling, and even let the accompanying ministers mourn together.

Fang Xuanling and the others were secretly anxious in their hearts when they saw it, but it was difficult to say anything.

However, when Li Shimin stood there with Wei Zheng, the situation was a little different.

"Xuancheng, look, my queen is buried there, can you see clearly?"

Li Shimin's face was a little haggard, and he pointed to the distance.

"What? Your Majesty, where are you talking about? Wechen couldn't see clearly. ”

Wei Zheng was also old, but I saw him squinting his eyes, looking into the distance, revealing a look that I didn't see clearly.

"How can you not see clearly? It's right there, you don't need a telescope to see Zhaoling. ”

Li Shimin felt a little anxious, and thought that Wei Zheng really didn't see it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thought that you were looking at the Offering Tomb, but it turned out that it was Zhaoling."

Wei Zheng's words made Li Shimin stunned.

He is not stupid, so he naturally knows what Wei Zheng meant.

"Come on, let's demolish this temple!"

Although Li Shimin is very reluctant in his heart, he has not yet reached the point of mediocrity.

In addition, during this time, Xu Cairen also frequently appeared in front of him, saying some comforting words, Li Shimin's nostalgia for Empress Changsun is actually controllable in most cases.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Wei Zheng's face was overjoyed, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

……

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian sat there drunk, his heart full of panic.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are some things that you have to plan for in advance!"

Helan Chushi had just returned from his father-in-law's mansion and found Li Chengqian.

During this time, the atmosphere in Chang'an City was actually quite depressing, and all entertainment activities were suspended.

However, the human mind does not stop moving.

Li Chengqian has been able to sit on the throne of the crown prince before, in addition to his identity as the eldest son, the help of the eldest grandson queen is also indispensable.

Coupled with Li Shimin's own painful lesson, he didn't want the next generation to break out too much in order to compete for the crown, so Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince has not changed.

"Planning ahead? How are you going to do it? My father doesn't like me, that's something everyone knows. I'm done, I'm hopeless! ”

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, he poured another glass of wine into his mouth.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the people of Datang know that you are the prince of Datang, and this is an advantage that no one can match. Although His Majesty favors His Royal Highness King Wei, if he really wants to replace the prince, he will do it a long time ago. There has been no movement for so many years, which actually shows that His Majesty is also hesitating in his heart. At this time, we only have two paths to take! ”

Helan Chushi has been firmly labeled as Li Chengqian, which can be described as a situation of both glory and loss.

Whether it was because of the pressure given to him by his father-in-law Hou Junji, or for his own future, he had to find a way to help Li Chengqian ascend the throne smoothly.

Obviously, in the current situation, Li Tai has time to continue to wait, but Li Chengqian does not have much time.

After Empress Changsun left, there was one less person who could help Li Chengqian stabilize the position of the prince.

"Which two paths?"

Li Chengqian put down his wine glass and stared at Helan Chushi like a hungry wolf.

He knew too well the consequences of his defeat, and Li Tai would definitely not give him a way to live.

Comparing his heart to his heart, after he ascends the throne, he will also find a way to kill Li Tai.

What kind of brotherly love, in front of the throne, seems extremely fragile.

"Since someone is competing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the position of the crown prince, won't your position be stable if this competitor disappears? In other words, if you succeed in ascending the throne, then there will be no topic of contention for the prince. ”

Although Helan Chushi felt that what he said was more subtle, in fact, in Li Chengqian's opinion, he had already said it very bluntly.

Whether to come to this point or not, Li Chengqian was a little hesitant in his heart.

"During this time, there are obviously more ministers in the court to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than in the past, they are desperately pouring dirty water on you, and even saying that you are not benevolent and filial enough, so you almost didn't directly tell Your Majesty that you want to replace the prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is there no reason behind this kind of thing? Many of those ministers are very close to His Royal Highness King Wei, and they treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this when Empress Wende's body was still cold, and you can imagine what turmoil there will be in the future. ”

The former Li Chengqian can be regarded as a prince who makes everyone very satisfied.

However, in the past few years, his performance has not only disappointed Li Shimin, but also made many ministers lose confidence.

The ministers who began to stand in line slowly increased.

"Is the manpower arranged to monitor the movements of the Wei Wangfu still going well?"

After being silent for a while, Li Chengqian seemed to have made up his mind.

"Everything goes well, every day His Royal Highness King Wei goes out, where he goes, and who he meets, we all know clearly. Although he always carries a large number of royal guards, he can always find some opportunities. ”

The task of monitoring Li Tai was personally arranged by Helan Chushi, and he naturally knew the relevant situation very well.

"If you want to do it, you must do it quickly, otherwise those policemen in Chang'an City will appear soon, and it will be difficult to succeed."

"Don't worry, either you don't move, or you have to do it, you will definitely take everything into account."

Helan Chushi breathed a sigh of relief, this matter finally has a clear direction.

……

Li Zhi kept watch in Zhaoling during this time, and he kept watch for 7749 days.

Li Shimin completely saw this performance.

Although Li Chengqian and Li Tai had all kinds of reasons not to go to the wake with Li Zhiyi, if they didn't go, they didn't go, and it was useless to say more.

Invisibly, Li Zhi brushed another wave of presence in front of Li Shimin.

"Second brother, before A-Niang died, she asked me to ask you for more advice, no matter what the matter is, if you don't know how to do it, you can go to you. Now I have a confused thing, can I ask you? ”

Li Zhi stood beside Li Kuan with a haggard face.

After returning from the Zhaoling Guard, Li Zhi came to the annex of the Chu Palace.

For him, there are really not many people in Chang'an City who are worthy of his trust.

"Pheasant slave, the second brother promised the queen mother to take care of you, and he will not break his promise. You can come to me whenever it is. ”

Li Kuan had no idea of competing for the throne at this time.

In his opinion, although being an emperor is very beautiful, it is actually very tiring.

Rather than this, it is better to be an idle prince, as long as the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, his leisure life can go on forever.

Of course, the premise is that the person on the throne does not think that Li Kuan is a threat.

Since he knew that Li Zhi would eventually ascend to the throne, he naturally wanted to provide some help at a critical moment.

"Although A-Niang has passed away, I know that Aya has always missed her, and my son and I also miss her very much; I want to build a temple to commemorate A-Niang, and at the same time to facilitate daily sacrifices and worship, what do you think, second brother? ”

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Li Kuan with anticipation.

Obviously, he certainly didn't have the money to build any temples.

Since it is a temple specially built to commemorate the Empress Changsun, it must not be very shabby.

In a way, this is a royal temple, and the scale must be grand to be worthy of its status.

However, grandeur means a lot of money.

Li Zhi himself has no money, and if he asks the household department for this money to build, it doesn't seem to be very suitable.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was most suitable to find Li Kuan, who was not bad for money.

"Build a temple?"

Li Kuan glanced at Li Zhi in surprise.

In his previous life, when he traveled to Xi'an, he had been to the Great Ci'en Temple.

Although the Great Mercy and Grace Temple at that time was far from the grand occasion of that year, the scale was still very large.

The most important thing is that this Great Temple of Mercy and Grace was built in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Zhi in memory of the eldest grandson empress.

Now this situation is actually in advance?

Or did Li Zhi have this idea very early in history, but when Empress Changsun had just died, he was too young, soft-spoken, and had no sense of existence.

"Yes, in the future, I plan to pray for A-Niang in the temple on the first and fifteenth days of every month, and I also hope that Aya can live a long and healthy life."

When Li Zhi said this, his eyes were full of sincerity, so that Li Kuan didn't know how true and false this was true.

Could it be that he is standing in front of him as an actor?

"Yes, it's right over there, it's unfinished now. Two-thirds of the entire square has been demolished, but no new houses have been built. I heard that the Wei family and the Du family both wanted to sell this land as soon as possible, and when the time came, I asked Wang Fugui to take a trip, buy this land, and build a great temple of mercy and grace there. ”

Li Kuan didn't even bother to change his name, so he directly stole it.

Anyway, at this time, there is no temple called the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

"Second brother, wasn't Guiyifang flooded once by stagnant water? Isn't it dangerous to build a temple there? ”

Li Zhi didn't have any sense of what the temple was called, but was concerned about the safety of the temple.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, we will raise the foundation by one meter, and then use the boulder as the wall foundation, and dig a wide sewer around it, all the way to the moat outside the city, and it is impossible for the idle rain to bring any harm to the Great Ci'en Temple."

In fact, there is a lot of vacant land in the workshop city.

But Li Kuan didn't want to have a Taoist temple or temple in the workshop city.

Therefore, it is simply recommended that the Great Ci'en Temple be built in Chang'an City.

As for the problem of waterproofing, it may be a big problem for the Wei family and the Du family, but for Li Kuan, there are many ways to solve it.

"There is a big general temple in Yongyang Fang next to Guiyi Fang, if we build the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in Guiyi Fang, it is also a good choice, I happen to know Master Daoyue of the Great Wisdom Temple, you can consider letting him preside over the construction of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and you can also consult him about some temple construction problems.

I heard that Venerable Daoyue had a proud disciple, and he had a lot of experience in the construction of Buddhist temples, so I went to the Dazong Temple and invited the two of them to come and discuss the construction of the Daci'en Temple. ”

Before Li Zhi threw out the plan to build the temple, he obviously did a lot of work.

What temples are in each square of Chang'an City and what the atmosphere is, he can say that he is relatively clear.

From this detail, it can be seen that he is actually not such a dull person.

"Master Daoyue? Is the disciple you are talking about called a debate machine? ”

Li Kuan originally wanted to prevent Fang Yuai from being a green hat, but he arranged for someone to check the situation of the debate.

As a close disciple of Master Daoyue, he is talented and intelligent, and his dignified argument is the most famous.

"Yes, second brother, have you also heard of his name? That shows that this debate is really powerful, and when the time comes, we will ask Nanshan Construction Engineering to confirm the construction plan of the Great Ci'en Temple with them, and then I will tell Aya about this matter at the right time. ”

There is no shadow in the temple yet, and Li Zhi does not plan to tell Li Shimin at this time.

Waiting until the construction of the Great Ci'en Temple is completed, and then reporting the situation to Li Shimin, can achieve unexpected results.

Anyway, for Nanshan Construction Workers, no matter what the size of your Great Ci'en Temple is, in a few months, they can build the temple in Guiyifang, which has already done the foundation leveling work.

"Yes, I'll arrange for Wang Fugui to deal with this later. Although there is no way to construct it in the cold weather, it can be used to make preliminary preparations. When the spring blooms next year, the construction will be in full swing. As long as there are enough manpower, the construction can be completed in the first half of next year. ”

Li Kuanti did not mention what to do with the money for the construction of the Great Ci'en Temple.

Although Li Zhi, as the initiator, will be the biggest beneficiary.

But Li Kuan, a person who pays out of pocket, can also brush a wave of presence in front of Li Shimin.

After all, this world is still Li Shimin's world.

……

"Bang! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! ”

When the atmosphere in Chang'an City was delicate, a confrontation was also taking place in the Qi Wang's Mansion in Qizhou.

"Quan Changshi, what is the character of His Royal Highness King Qi, you can't be clearer. This time, I was lucky enough to hear the conversation between him and Yan Hongliang, and I knew that Quan Changshi was already in danger. Now, we have to take precautions in advance to avoid being attacked by villains. ”

Although Wei Wenzhen, the captain of the military academy, was the nominal head of the guards of the Qi Palace, except for the dozens of people he brought from Chang'an City, the other guards did not listen to him at all.

In the Qi Palace, Wei Wenzhen and Quan Wanji's situation is very similar.

Li You is good at hunting, and his friends are some aggressive rangers, Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao have been valued by Li You because they are good at riding and shooting, and have become Li You's personal guards.

Although Li Shimin doesn't like Li You's son, he can be regarded as his fifth son, and his status is extraordinary, so he has arranged personnel to teach Li You many times.

It's a pity that no matter how wise Li Shimin is, there are times when he sees the wrong person.

That Quan Wanji is not a good bird in itself.

When he was a scholar and a servant of the imperial history, in order to sell his reputation and reputation, he dared to impeach Shangshu's left servant and shoot Fang Xuanling, which made Fang Xuanling almost take the initiative to resign from the position of prime minister with Li Shimin.

Later, he repeatedly committed illusory impeachment matters, which made many people in the court have a lot of opinions about him, and his future has become bleak.

It's just that by coincidence, when he was arranged to serve as the chief historian by Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Shimin actually found that he was able to control Li Ke, thinking that he had misunderstood him a lot before, and almost wasted a talent.

So when Li You was lawless and complained, Li Shimin arranged Quan Wanji to serve as the chief historian of the Qi Palace.

"Na Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao, originally just an unemployed vagrant, relying on some skills, but now they are arrogant in Qizhou City. This time, I not only want to impeach King Qi, but I also want to impeach the minions around him. ”

Quan Wanji said with a pale face.

Although Wei Wenzhen's words did not say that Li You had already made up his mind to arrange someone to do Quan Wanji, he already had the intention of making a move against Quan Wanji.

Naturally, he didn't want to sit still.

"For the sake of today's plan, only by collecting more evidence of His Royal Highness King Qi's violations of law and discipline, it is best to find some evidence of rebellion, so that we can get out of the sea of suffering."

Wei Wenzhen, as a child of the Wei family, although he is not a descendant, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As a military captain, if he can truly gain the trust of King Qi, then he is willing to assist King Qi well, so as to realize his future official jump.

However, in the current scene, let alone being trusted, even the safety issue may not be guaranteed, so he naturally has to find a way to pull King Qi off the horse.

As a meritorious man, maybe he will be able to enter Li Shimin's sight at that time.

"Rebellion? Captain Wei, King Qi appointed a traitor, has a strange personality, and doesn't understand filial piety, I understand all of this, but wouldn't it be too exaggerated to say that he was rebellious? ”

Quan Wanji suddenly felt that he was a good person.

As the governor of the Qi Palace, at most, he and Li Shimin impeached Li You for all kinds of misconduct, and he really never thought of deducting him for a major crime of rebellion.

With the current situation of Datang, which prince will have the possibility of success in his rebellion?

"Quan Changshi, why is it exaggerated? King Qi's maternal grandfather was a Yin Shishi, and after Gaozu Taiyuan raised an army, Li Zhiyun, who was only fourteen years old, died in the hands of Yin Shishi. Not only that, but the Yin Shishi also dug up the ancestral graves of the Li family, and this hatred is definitely not one or two points.

At the same time, after Gaozu entered Chang'an, he also copied the Yin family and killed many people, and the Yin concubine was rewarded to His Majesty as a concubine, which is why there is today's King of Qi. If you write an impeachment letter to Your Majesty, saying that the King of Qi is preparing to plot a rebellion at the instigation of the Yin family, and then you make some false evidence, do you think Your Majesty will believe you? ”

Wei Wenzhen's words made Quan Wanji feel a chill in his heart.

It seems that I was still too gentle in the past.

In the future, I have to stay away from Wei Wenzhen, otherwise I may not know when someone sells him and I will help him count the money.

"Captain Wei! If there really is such a letter in front of His Majesty, it will surely cause His Majesty's wrath. In addition, Empress Wende died again this winter, and His Majesty was already in a bad mood, so he might recall His Royal Highness King Qi back to Chang'an to ask for guilt. ”

Although Quan Wanji felt that Wei Wenzhen's trick was very ruthless, he also felt that it was a good way for him to get out of trouble.

"Definitely! Not only that, I suggest that you can also send a secret letter to the Chu Palace, and tell His Royal Highness the King of Chu the content of the fold, so that he can also push it, and then His Royal Highness the King of Qi will have to shed his skin even if he is not dead. ”

Wei Wenzhen, the children of the family, not to mention other advantages, is really higher than ordinary people in terms of the collection and mastery of various information, as well as some vision.

No way, it's likely that the experience of your life is not as rich as what other people heard and saw when they were young.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu? If you don't say it, I forgot! If you really want to talk about it, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Yin family, there is a grudge against killing his father, and the King of Qi also has half of the Yin family's blood. If he can successfully clean up King Qi, it must be a situation he is happy to see. ”

When Quan Wanji said this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In his opinion, this time, King Qi is definitely going to be unlucky.

And he, the chief of the Qi Palace, will definitely not be affected like when Li Ke trampled on the people's farmland.

"Hmph, King Qi has so many traitors around him, what's the use? Leaving the two of us at that time unlucky, we just took a detour, which can't blame us for making the first move. ”

After Wei Wenzhen said this, the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
