Therefore, it is still useful to read more books, and when you encounter a temporary response like this, as long as you use the past to illustrate the present, you can directly explain your own meaning.

Li Shimin didn't expect the prince to look so deeply, to be honest, he also had the same concerns, and rumors like moving the capital to Luoyang would appear once in a while. This is actually related to Chang'an's awkward geographical location. First of all, before the collapse of the Eastern Turks, Chang'an, as the capital of a country, was too close to the border, and the worry of knocking on the gate and driving Chang'an directly like Jieli has existed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli really turned this worry into reality, and immediately gave those who supported the relocation of the capital an incomparable help.

It is impossible to move the capital, and the Li family, who was born in the Guanlong Group, cannot move the capital if they want to get the support of the Guanlong Group, and only with Chang'an as the capital can the interests of all the people of the Guanlong Group be guaranteed.

Although the Li family does not need to be subject to the Guanlong Group now, there is no doubt that they were born in the Guanlong Group and are allies with the rest of the families.

The emperor is like an existence illuminated by the spotlight, no matter what he does, he will become the focus of the audience wherever he goes.

Li Shimin also understands this reason, and now that he thinks about it, going to Luoyang this time is probably really a stupid trick.

"In that case, then I won't go."

After speaking, Li Shimin threw the folds on the table to the ground. These memorabilia will not be sent to the province for filing, but will be burned directly.

This is a compromise on the part of the emperor, and secretly disposing of the folds shows that he is willing to change his mind, otherwise, these twists and turns will go through the normal process until they develop into arguments in the court.

Seeing that the emperor's father dispelled the idea of going to Luoyang, Li Chengqian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately prepared to slip away.

"Come back! I've let you go! ”

Before he turned around, he was called back again.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to walk to the table again and sit down.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin hesitated for a long time before saying: "Since Luoyang can't go, and you can't travel casually in a short time, then tell me about it, when and where is it better to go?" ”

From this sentence, Li Chengqian heard the emperor's father's unwilling heart.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, if you want not to give the ministers an excuse to attack, three years is a very good time interval. Moreover, in order not to have an unnecessary impact, these sensitive places in Luoyang, Jiangnan and Shandong cannot be visited. In fact, from the perspective of the sons, if the father wants to relax, the grassland is also a good place to go! Using the excuse of inspecting the new territory of the Tang Dynasty, even if Wei Zheng and others wanted to dissuade them, they couldn't find too good reasons. Because, for Datang, the fact that a large area of grassland can be closely connected with the Central Plains is an eternal achievement. ”

Li Shimin nodded, but in a blink of an eye, he said angrily: "What is an excuse, this is called a legitimate reason!" ”

"Yes, yes, my father is right."

“....”

There are very few times when father and son discuss doing bad things together like now, even if they are as majestic as Li Shimin, they still show a wicked smile from time to time.

Discussing bad things will always make the passage of time faster, and by the time both father and son are satisfied, it will be completely dark.

Li Shimin, who was satisfied, remembered that he still had unfinished work on his desk, looked at the sky, and said: "Since it's so late, don't go back to the East Palace, go to your mother's place to sleep." In fact, your mother's qi illness has been committed again, and she was afraid that she would worry you, so she didn't notify Donggong. I don't have time, so you should take care of it for a while. ”

"Qi disease?"

Li Chengqian was surprised in his heart, and suddenly remembered that the eldest grandson did have qi disease and wind disease, and then thought about what happened during this time, and suddenly knew what was going on.

Presumably, it was because she was busy with the wedding in the East Palace that she was tired. Otherwise, now that it's the height of summer, how can it be so easy to get sick with qi?

Thinking that it was his own reason, Li Chengqian immediately got up and ran towards the Liangyi Palace.

It was already night, but the Liangyi Hall was still dark, with only a faint light. Saving the amount of money in the palace is not just about talking, at this point, the eldest grandson leads by example, which can be said to be a model for the entire harem.

The first time I didn't sign up, I entered the Liangyi Palace, and the main hall was very empty, so the eldest grandson's coughing voice was extremely clear.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, his head was still full of sweat, and the eldest grandson immediately smiled: "I know if I shouldn't let you know, don't worry, the queen mother is fine, it's just an old illness, just rest for a few days." ”

Seeing that although the eldest grandson was coughing, he was in good spirits, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. In history, the eldest grandson died in Zhenguan ten years because of illness, and now that he, a descendant of the world, is involved, he can't let such a regret appear in any way.

Sitting next to the eldest grandson, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "You are really, why did you order it to be hidden from the East Palace?" You are sick, but your sons are enjoying the blessings of Qi people in the East Palace, isn't it complete unfilial piety? ”

The eldest grandson keenly captured the word "blessing of Qi people", and asked, "You also took that Turkic princess and that palace maid?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "It has been filed with the Ministry of Rites, and they are not qualified to enter the Zongzheng Mansion family register, so the sons didn't think to tell you." ”

"That's good, now there are three women in the East Palace, but it's a pity that you still have to listen to Sun Daochang's words, otherwise this palace will call the shots and give you some more good money."

"Tsk, forget it, the queen mother, there are a lot of people, you let me take care of political affairs or women in the future?"

"Look at your unproductive appearance, how can a big man bother with a woman? Care more about the concubine, and care about what those good women do. ”

“....”

Li Chengqian was speechless about the words of his eldest grandson. This is the status quo of Liangdi in this era, that is, concubines. This is true even in the palace. In addition to the queen's concubines, beauties and the like, some of them are sick and died, and it is estimated that the emperor will not know about it.

After saying a few words, the eldest grandson couldn't help coughing again. Li Chengqian hurriedly and carefully patted her on the back, knowing that it was useless to do this, but what actually worked was the care from relatives.

After a long time, the eldest grandson relieved himself and said, "Okay, okay, the queen mother is fine, it's already night, you can go back, this sick and troublesome thing, it's not good to pass it on to you." ”

This is also the reason why the Liangyi Hall is empty, even if the emperor wants to accompany the queen, he will be dissuaded.

"It's okay, Queen Mother, in the opinion of Erchen, this illness of yours will not be passed on to others, why don't Erchen take you to Doctor Sun tomorrow? Du Shangshu's lung disease was cured by Sun Shen, and he used to cough up his lungs in winter, but now the dragon spirit and tiger can kill the tiger. Although your qi disease is different from his, there is still a way to come to Daochang Sun. ”

"Okay, this palace will go to Doctor Sun to live for a while, and the affairs of the palace will be handed over to Concubine Yang for the time being."

Under Li Chengqian's persuasion, the eldest grandson finally agreed.

It was late at night, so Li Chengqian simply laid a bunk in the Liangyi Palace.

Early the next morning, there were already ceremonial guards prepared around the Liangyi Palace. The emperor also got up early in the morning, and it seemed that he was rushing over in the middle of his workout, and he looked very worried.

"Your Majesty, the concubine and the prince went to Sun Daochang to see a doctor, and it is estimated that they will live for a while, and during this time, the affairs of the harem will be handed over to Concubine Yang's sister first."

Li Chengqian also arched his hand and said: "Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters should also follow the queen mother, serve the left and right, business and other folds, just send them to the academy first." ”

Li Shimin nodded and advised: "It's not a problem to deal with it less, just take care of your mother." ”

It was delivered to the palace gate, and under the emperor's worried gaze, the team of the empress and the crown prince left the palace.

Before leaving the palace, the eldest grandson's face was much better. Of course, only on a psychological level. The emperor is not the only one who is locked up in the palace.

Knowing the old lady's thoughts, Li Chengqian ordered the team to slow down and walk around Chang'an before leaving the city.

Along the way, the eldest grandson would sigh from time to time: "This is Pingkangfang? I don't know how much better it is decorated than before. But Cheng Qian, you are the prince, you can't go in and out of such a place, even if you go in, you can't contaminate the women here! ”

"This is Cheng Biting Jin's drunken wind building? Heh, everyone is one building, and now he is arrogant to open three buildings in a row, and it seems that he is still making money. ”

"This is the West Market? So much prosperity! ”

Along the way, the queen's guard of honor had the effect of clearing the streets, otherwise, she would have seen far more than the current scale. Nowadays, the original barren land price in Chang'an has been speculated to sky-high prices. Originally, the land price of Fang City, which was only close to the palace, has increased, but since the wealthy families from all over the country settled in Chang'an, the land price around the East and West markets has also increased. According to this trend, sooner or later Chang'an will become the Kyoto of later generations, and even the outermost market land price is worth thousands of gold.

It's not that I didn't want to buy some land as soon as possible and make a lot of money when the price rises, but I was denied by myself.

It's too embarrassing, the prince needs to do this? The whole world will be their own.

The eldest grandson who left the palace was very interested, and even got out of the car and picked two rouges among the street merchants. On weekdays, she doesn't need such defective products, and almost all the use in the palace is supervised by the general. Even if it is something that cannot be made by the eunuch, there are eunuchs and palace maids who are responsible for procurement, and they use the best things in Chang'an.

I stayed around until noon, bought two sesame cakes on the street, and thought it was lunch. It's obviously just a sesame cake, but the eldest grandson still eats it very happily. In Li Chengqian's view, the act of leaving the palace is beneficial to the recovery of the eldest grandson. Patients always need a peaceful environment to speed up their recovery.

Seeing that the old lady was happy, Li Chengqian was also happy, and the money bag was thrown out, so he invited everyone to eat. You don't need to stop anywhere, and when you come across something to sell, you run two steps to buy it, and eat it as you go. I know that doing this is not good for my health, but the whole team is talking and laughing, and they are very cheerful.

As soon as noon passed, the team left Chang'an City.

When passing by the Weiwang Bridge, Li Tai was already waiting on this side of the bridge. The queen mother's illness made him worried, but the queen mother's coming out of the palace made him happy.

When the carriage drove up the bridge, the eldest grandson came to his senses again and began to ask Li Tai about the construction of the bridge. To be honest, so far, there is no such Xiong Wei's bridge in Datang, Zhaozhou Bridge is famous, but in terms of span, it is still not as good as Weiwang Bridge, and when this bridge was built, the possibility of a major flood was taken into account, so to speak, it will never have the worry of being submerged.

The boys were excited when they explained their achievements.

"Queen Mother, look at it, this is one of Erchen's biggest achievements before, this bridge is different from the previous stone pile-up, but with iron bars and cement as a load-bearing, poured as a whole, don't look at it is gray, inconspicuous, but even if the earth dragon turns over, it will not collapse, let alone flood."

Seeing that Li Tai was happy, Li Chengqian temporarily handed over his mother to him to lead, and he jumped out of the carriage, and just after crossing the bridge, he could see several old gentlemen fishing by the river. It's not good to see and not say hello.

Although most of the graduates of the academy were recruited by the imperial court, a small half remained, not only to open schools around Chang'an, but also to be left as the gentleman of the academy.

With the addition of fresh blood, the old gentlemen were much more relaxed, and even had the leisure to fish by the river.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Yang Du didn't bother to get up, pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned for himself to sit.

Sitting on the chair, Li Chengqian casually picked up the fishing rod and fished with the old gentleman.

"I'm going to leave all the things on the academy's side to you, now that the academy has a foundation, the rest is the matter of expansion, just simply open the academy branches, and then divide the grades. After I put aside all the chores of the academy and the East Palace, I have to worry about the harbor and the shipyard. If a child wants to learn to run, it is estimated that he will not be able to fall two heels. ”

Yang Du took a sip of tea and said, "Since you have more important things, the academy doesn't have to worry about it." Although the academy is now operated independently, it still nominally belongs to the imperial court, and if there is trouble, the imperial court will not sit idly by, so you can rest assured. ”

Seeing that the old gentleman said heroically, Li Chengqian also relieved his heart.

A green-robed official walked over by the fishing platform, too young, and Li Chengqian looked at it for a long time before he was sure that this guy was Wang Xuance.

Tang Jian didn't pay much attention to Wang Xuance, and almost didn't get along with Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, for him. can get such a scramble for a temple and a book, Wang Xuance can be said to have made a lot of money.

beckoning, Li Chengqian smiled and said to Wang Xuance, who came over: "Since you have graduated, you don't work in Honglu Temple, what are you doing in the academy?" Is it that you are not satisfied there, and you want to go back to the academy to teach? ”

Wang Xuance arched his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness said this, how can students be the kind of people who are threatened by difficulties and hold back. When I came back this time, I actually missed the college, so I took a few looks and missed it. In two days, the students will represent the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to Goryeo to receive the bones of the soldiers of the previous dynasty. ”

Only then did Li Chengqian remember that although he had successfully deterred the Koreans, the bones of the soldiers of the previous dynasty had not yet been returned.

"What's going on? Lone didn't care, they didn't pay it back in the spring, why did they delay it until now to think about paying it back? ”

Wang Xuance found a chair and sat down, and said: "Your personal rate really scared the Goryeo people, since your personal leadership broke through a city and scared off the pursuing soldiers, Goryeo has collected 200,000 troops in a short period of time to guard the frontier. Although the king of Goryeo confessed to our Datang as soon as possible, he did not say how this matter should be handled. You know, Koreans are like that, always avoiding questions, like an idiot. After all, we beat them, isn't it because of the bones of the soldiers of the previous dynasty? Isn't it because of their arrogance towards Datang?

But as a result, the confession was an admission of guilt, and a tribute was sent, but he didn't think about solving the problem, and he died stupidly. As a last resort, Honglu Temple sent an official document to them, explaining to them what to do. In May, the king of Goryeo said that they were willing to sacrifice the bones in Goryeo rites and then send them out of the country. This time, Goryeo's attitude was unprecedentedly humble, and I am afraid that the Gaochang incident had an effect.

The students went to Gaochang this time to transport the remains of the previous dynasty, and this time it was a twist and turn, but they finally got them back. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, in fact, Wang Xuance's analysis is still a bit problematic. Although the Korean people are disliked, the whole country is not stupid to this extent. They only confessed their sins and paid tribute before, but they didn't settle the matter, I'm afraid they were just waiting and watching. If because of the gunpowder weapon, Datang attracts everyone's unanimous targeting, then the Koreans will not only not solve the matter, but will become more and more nervous.

The fox and the fake tiger are the favorite things of the Korean people, and they have not changed after a thousand years.

And what forced them to decisively choose to solve the matter and send the bones of the former soldiers back to Tang was the Tang Dynasty's dispatch of troops to Gaochang.

Truth be told, there has never been a war like this. Before the troops were assembled, the news of the imminent war had already spread in all directions. On the issue of Gaochang's life and death, neighboring countries, including elsewhere, have chosen to turn a blind eye. No one cared about Gao Chang's life or death, they were more concerned about whether they could spy on the power of the Tang people's new weapons in this battle.

Gao Chang saw this, so he had no choice but to give in. Although their national strength is stronger than Gaochang, if the Tang Dynasty attacks them this time, I am afraid that the alliance between the many countries in Liaodong will be shattered in an instant. No one will choose to help outsiders until they know the enemy's situation.

Out of such worries, Goryeo relented.

It's not okay to look at things without looking deeply, but Wang Xuance is only a teenager now, and he has the opportunity to grow, and under Tang Jian's hands, he will become a qualified diplomat sooner or later.

Patting Wang Xuance on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said: "The score on the top shows that Fang Xiang and I have high hopes for you, this time I went out, and completed the task beautifully, don't forget to spy on the situation in Goryeo." You must know that Goryeo is different from other countries, since the time of the previous dynasty, they have been destined to be the country of destruction of our Tang Dynasty! ”
