Chapter 459: Datang Monument
In the annex of the Chu Wangfu, when Li Kuan had not returned to Beijing, he asked the midwife to wait in advance.
Now there are several people ready at any time, and seeing that Cheng Jingwen's stomach began to hurt, everyone immediately got busy.
However, the Chu Wangfu has experienced the birth of little corn, and everyone is already relatively calm.
Even Li Kuan and Sun Simiao waited quietly outside the room, not in a hurry.
"Wow~Wow~"
This time, without letting Li Kuan wait too long, the midwife appeared at the door with a child in her arms.
The speed of the second child is really not comparable to the first child.
This is the same as "repeating dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened", which is also the same meaning.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it's a Langjun."
Although Li Kuan doesn't pay so much attention to giving birth to boys and girls, others don't think so.
Even Cheng Jingwen herself hopes to have a son.
"Congratulations to the prince, there is a successor to the Chu Palace!"
"Congratulations to the prince!"
All of a sudden, all kinds of congratulatory voices rang out at the door.
Li Kuan politely said a few words, and led the little corn into the delivery room to visit Cheng Jingwen.
"Auntie, you really gave birth to a younger brother for me, then I will have more companionship when I go out to play in the future."
Little Corn rarely stood beside Cheng Jingwen obediently, holding Li Kuan with one hand and Cheng Jingwen with the other.
"Jingwen, you've worked hard!"
At this time, there is no point in saying anything, a sentence of "hard work" is enough.
……
The son of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was born.
This is not a big news in Chang'an City.
Even Li Shimin called Li Kuan into the Daming Palace and chatted a few words.
"I heard that you are going to build the largest medical hall in the Tang Dynasty next to Guanshishan Academy?"
Li Shimin was a little puzzled how Li Kuan could be interested in building a medical center.
Although health pills sell very well, they can be sold as long as you open a pharmacy, and there is no need to build a medical center.
This is obviously different from his previous operation routine.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, the construction of this medical center has begun, and it will start receiving patients next month, but the construction of the medical center will continue until the first half of next year."
Li Kuan now can't wait to improve the medical level of Datang, increase the life expectancy of Datang's population, and increase Datang's birth rate.
"I don't understand, how can you be interested in building a medical center? This is not a business that can make a lot of money. ”
"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. As a Datang person, Weichen naturally hopes that Datang, under the leadership of His Majesty, will become a country where everyone has food, clothing, books, and treatment.
The promotion of Nanyang rice, as well as the promotion of Quyuan plough in the past, and the promotion of chemical fertilizers in the future, are all to let everyone have food; The promotion of cotton and wool thread is to let everyone have clothes to wear; As for the establishment of Guanshishan Academy and various Mongolian schools and primary schools, it is hoped that one day everyone will be able to have a book to read; Now is the time to think about healing and saving lives. ”
Li Kuan couldn't tell Li Shimin that he was running so actively because he wanted to complete the task of increasing the population of Datang by 10 million as explained by the system, so he had to find a high-sounding excuse.
Anyway, no one can refute Li Kuan's words.
When Li Shimin heard this, he was also a little speechless.
I always felt that something didn't seem right.
"It's a good thing to cure the sick and save people, so be bold and do it. A few days ago, the pharmacist told me that he would resign from all his positions in the court and recuperate in the palace, which made me feel very emotional. Many of the soldiers who fought together in the world are now old and sick, and many of them have even been buried underground. ”
Although he couldn't figure it out, Li Shimin also struggled with Li Kuan's original intention of building a medical center; Instead, he gossiped with Li Kuan.
This kind of exchange is still relatively rare, and Li Shimin rarely shows his weak inner side in front of his juniors.
It has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and judging from the average life expectancy of this era, it is normal for many old generals to be old.
is like Li Jing, who is now seventy years old, which is considered a high life in this era.
Even Cheng Yanjin is already fifty-one, and in the era of Datang, it can be regarded as the old age of his life.
Of course, except for Li Kuan, everyone didn't know that Cheng Yanjin's life could be so long.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate."
As soon as Li Kuan's words came out, he ushered in a roll of Li Shimin's eyes.
Here we go again!
"Don't beat around the bush in front of me!"
"Since the ancestor Jinyang raised the army, the Tang Dynasty has gone through countless battles, and countless heroes and heroes have emerged, and with the passage of time, future generations will know less and less about their deeds; If the imperial court can come forward to build a building to commemorate these heroes and martyrs, commemorate the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and let future generations know that the Tang Dynasty has today's situation, it is really hard-won, and it will definitely be of great benefit to stimulate the hearts of the people. ”
Historically, it would take a few more years for Lingyan Pavilion to be born.
Li Kuan felt that this could be advanced and strengthened.
Lingyan Pavilion is for those few great heroes, but there are more than a few people worth remembering in Datang, and some ordinary low-level heroes can also be displayed, and the incentive effect may be greater.
Moreover, Lingyan Pavilion is very limited, and those heroes of the Tang Dynasty are on it, which leads to the fact that after the Tang Dynasty is gone, Lingyan Pavilion has also disappeared into the vast history.
Li Kuan felt that some heroes in the previous dynasties of Li Tang were also worth commemorating.
It is very necessary to find a piece of land in Chang'an City and build a landmark building similar to a monument or memorial hall for the people of Chang'an City to pay tribute to during the Qingming Festival.
"Your idea seems interesting, you can tell me more."
Li Shimin listened to Li Kuan's words, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he had a very good appetite for himself.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court can find a hundred acres of land in Yongxingfang or the surrounding squares to build a square, named the Tang Heroes Memorial Hall, and then set up a huge stone tablet wall on the square and named the Tang Heroes Monument. Choose a time every year for His Majesty to lead the courtiers to the memorial hall to pay respects to the martyrs, so that future generations can feel the hard-won prosperity of today......"
Li Kuan simply told Li Shimin about some of the experiences of later generations.
"When of the year do you think it's appropriate to go to worship?"
Li Shimin's words basically mean that he has accepted Li Kuan's proposal.
Each festival in Datang has its own positioning and arrangement.
Li Shimin really didn't think about when it would be better to go to such a special place to worship for a while.
After all, according to Li Kuan's description, the significance of this memorial hall and monument is very special, and it is naturally not trivial to bring the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to worship today.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we can set up a founding day and worship on the founding day."
After coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Li Kuan felt that the imperial court in this era was still very inexperienced in how to stimulate the hearts of the people.
Such a good thing as the founding day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Datang actually didn't have it!
"Statehood Day?"
As the name suggests, although Li Shimin heard this word for the first time, he immediately understood what it meant.
Then the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a good idea.
In this era, ordinary people do not have such a deep concept of the country, and it is more the concept of clan that affects them.
The establishment of the founding day will first let the Tang people have a concept of a country, and if it is combined with a series of propaganda, it can effectively enhance the pride of the people and the pride of being a Tang people.
"That's right, as the most important official festival of Datang, the founding day of the People's Republic of China will hold a series of commemorative activities to stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, stimulate the national pride of the people, and enhance the cohesion of Datang."
Li Kuan is ready to take it step by step to see if he can solve the shortcomings of the feudal dynasty of a reincarnation for hundreds of years.
"Okay, I will go back and arrange for Yan Liben to be in charge of this matter, and let him discuss it with you more when the time comes. Other than that, if you have any suggestions, don't hide them, just talk about them together. ”
"Your Majesty, the founding day is here, so it's best to have a song to match it. During the memorial service, everyone sings this special song together, and the atmosphere should be very different. ”
"When you say that, I played the "Mulan" performed by the opera house some time ago, and the opening song "Loyal to the Country", I think it is very good."
"Your Majesty has an overreputation, in fact, Weichen thinks that some of the tunes used in King Qin's Breaking Array Dance are also very good if they are slightly changed."
"You don't have to be modest, I know that this "Loyal to the Country" was written by you, and you are afraid of being gossiped. In what you said before, as long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, the people, and me, what are you afraid of people gossiping? ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Li Kuan's heart moved.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Of course!"
"Then Weichen will let go of his hands and feet."
There are many ideas, but Li Kuan has not yet come up with them to use.
Today, with Li Shimin's words, there are some things that can be considered and done.
"What? Do you really have any suggestions? ”
When Li Shimin heard Li Kuan say this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.
This Kuan'er, won't there be any big things to do, right?
"Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to say has something to do with this Wei Guogong."
"Oh?"
Li Shimin was noncommittal.
"Wei Guogong's art of war is unparalleled in the world. But no matter how powerful he is, he is now seventy years old, how to keep his art of war from being buried is not just a matter of Wei Guogong's personal affairs. ”
"What do you want to say? I can't do this kind of persecution of apprentices. ”
Li Shimin thought that he had recommended Hou Junji to learn the art of war from Li Jing, but he was rejected.
In this era, whether it is the art of war or some unique skills, people are willing to teach you, that is your blessing, if people are unwilling, you can't say anything.
This is the case with everybody.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is trying not to let Wei Guogong's peerless art of war not be lost, how can it be said that it is forced?"
