In the Taiji Palace, a group of ministers at the court meeting once again quarreled over the construction of the summer palace.

Li Shimin returned to the imperial study with a gloomy face, originally wanting to calm down and take a good look at the book, but he ended up holding a copy of "Historical Records" in his hand, but he didn't turn to the next page for a long time.

"Li Zhong, why do you say that the ministers of the DPRK and China oppose it so loudly? Didn't you say that filial piety comes first, and I am also doing my filial piety, but do you look at Wei Zheng and Dai Guan, what are they saying, and do they still look like courtiers? ”

Li Zhong's brows jumped, how to answer this directly?

"This Taiji Palace has been built for more than 50 years, and it is constantly repaired every year, and even the roof of the Liangyi Palace, which was crushed by the snow last winter. If you really want to calculate it, the annual repair cost of the Taiji Hall is also a lot, right? ”

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Zhong to be able to answer anything, if he really dared to answer anything about this kind of thing, then whether he wanted to stay by his side was a question.

Your heart is unpredictable!

"The Emperor Taishang now lives in Tai'an Palace, where the conditions are not as good as Taiji Palace. The construction of a new palace is imminent, but these people are always procrastinating, which is really infuriating! ”

It was not easy for Li Shimin to find a few ministers to discuss with the construction of the summer palace.

Even right-hand men like Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling did not dare to seconded it easily.

This thing, if you are not careful, it will really stink for thousands of years.

These extremely human ministers, no one doesn't care about this, and this has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is resourceful, or Your Majesty will summon the King of Chu into the palace to ask."

Seeing that Li Shimin was getting more and more angry, Li Zhong was frightened for a while, and hurriedly pulled Li Kuan out to cushion his back.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I'm sorry, I've been scolded for you countless times, and this time I'll ask you.

The few traces of guilt that had just risen in Li Zhong's heart quickly dissipated.

What difficult things can always be solved ingeniously in the hands of the King of Chu, and he can be regarded as recommending talents for the country!

Well, I am recommending talents for the country!

Li Zhong was even more determined in his thoughts.

"Then why don't you hurry up and do it!"

……

Li Zhong was quite reliable, and at the same time as he sent someone to inform Li Kuan, he told him the reason for entering the palace this time, so that Li Kuan had some time to think about how to deal with it.

Since ancient times, the construction of water conservancy has been praised, and the construction of palaces has been infamous.

It is really because in this feudal dynasty where the productive forces are underdeveloped, the construction of a large-scale palace complex is too large.

For example, these giant trees in the hall as beams and pillars are difficult to find suitable ones around Chang'an City, and they need to be transported from distant places.

A giant tree that is thick for two people and more than three zhang long weighs tens of thousands of catties alone, and it will take at least a hundred people a few months to get to Chang'an City.

And there are too many giant trees needed for a palace complex.

Coupled with the fact that the construction of the palace pays attention to all kinds of carvings, these are very time-consuming.

Even if it is a stone slab for laying the floor, it is not a simple matter to make it smooth.

It is no wonder that the ministers of the court and the central government trembled when they heard that the emperor wanted to build a palace.

Historically, the summer palace was called Yong'an Palace after the official construction started, and then it was renamed Daming Palace, and the building scale is said to have reached 4.5 Forbidden City.

If you want to build such a large palace, unless you use the strength of the whole country to build it, then it will be built in one or two years, otherwise if you don't build it for ten or eight years, you can't do it at all.

Li Kuan thought about it as he thought about it.

This summer palace, don't look at the current discussion between the DPRK and China, but it must be built.

And, if there is no accident, Li Yuan will pass away in the middle of next year.

If it was the same as in history, the materials were prepared, but it was built for more than half a year, because the emperor was gone, the work was stopped, and the loss and waste were actually greater.

Therefore, the top priority is to simply finalize it as soon as possible, build it as quickly as possible, and preferably complete it this year.

If the speed of the Chinese infrastructure madness in the future generations were to build a palace complex without high-rise buildings and without digging underground garages, it would actually be built in a few months.

However, there is no such condition right now.

Li Kuan constantly compares the gap between today's construction conditions and future generations.

There are no bulldozers, road rollers and other construction equipment, no reinforced concrete, no ......

Wait a minute!

Li Kuan suddenly realized something.

Bulldozers, excavators, etc., are impossible, and it is useless to have systems.

But steel and cement ......

It may be difficult to rebar for a short time, but in the case of cement, it can be done.

Porcelain and glass can be fired, and the cement is not a problem at all, at most, the quality of cement is not as high as that of later generations.

But to build a palace, you don't need to build dozens of high-rise buildings, and it is three or four stories high, which is completely no problem.

With cement, many places that need to use wood and boulders can be handled flexibly.

Finally having some confidence in his heart, Li Kuan tilted his head and stepped into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty urgently summoned Weichen into the palace, I don't know what your will is?"

After meeting Li Shimin, Li Kuan asked straight to the point.

"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid there, I don't believe you really don't know why I asked you to enter the palace."

Get!

This master must be in a bad mood today, so don't beat around the bush, and the province will be scolded for no reason.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is in favor of building a new palace!"

"What?"

Li Shimin didn't react for a while, why did Li Kuan suddenly ......

"Wechen is in favor of building a new palace. The construction of the new palace is beneficial to the present and the merit is in the future. ”

"Bang!"

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said angrily: "You dare to be sarcastic? ”

Today's Li Shimin is in the prime of life and is very sober-minded; He was naturally very clear about how troublesome it was to build a palace and why the courtiers opposed it on a large scale.

Now when I suddenly heard Li Kuan say that "the benefits are in the present, and the merits are in the future", I immediately felt that I was satirizing myself.

If that were the case, what else would the courtiers oppose?

I have long raised my hands and feet in favor!

This son of a, is he not even taking me seriously now?

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more angry he became, and Li Zhong, who was standing in the corner, felt that the temperature in the imperial study had dropped several degrees.

"Your Majesty has wronged Weichen, the construction of the new palace is beneficial in the present, and the merit is in the future, Weichen is telling the truth!"

Li Kuan knew that Li Shimin probably thought too much, and if he didn't explain it well, he would really be unable to eat and leave today.

"Hmph, then you can tell me where the merit is and where the benefit is?" Li Shimin stared at Li Kuan deadly, "If you can't say one, two, three, don't be polite!" ”

Obviously, Li Shimin at this moment is really angry.

And Li Zhong on the side even regretted his intestines.

The king of Chu is unreliable, and he doesn't know it, why do he still want to die?
