Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Chengqian, looking too lazy to pay attention to him.

Li Chengqian was happy: "You mean, the first to pretend to be the emperor, that is, my eldest father's bedroom?" ”

"Of course."

Although he was sometimes speechless to Li Chengqian, Chen Zhengtai was still very patient with him, so he said: "There are rules for this groundbreaking, for example, if there are people, you must first ask monks and Taoists to come to see feng shui." Of course...... We don't believe in this, but we also need to invite someone to plan a thing or two first, such as Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou, don't look at him as usually stupid, but he is extremely shrewd, okay, okay, you go to see the Emperor Taishang and tell him that there may be some noise in Hongyi Palace these days. All in all, if there is anything in the future, ask Ma Zhou first, that's right. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai approached his ear and said in a low voice: "He is Erwuzai." ”

Li Chengqian looked at him a little stunned: "What do you call Erwuzai?" ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled, he really ignored him now.

However, Li Chengqian didn't want to go to see the emperor by himself, so he had to drag Chen Zhengtai to go.

Chen Zhengtai really didn't want to see Li Yuan, he had no impression of Li Yuan, and he didn't know what to brag about!

Could it be that the Emperor Tai is in such good health, you are so old, and you can still have so many children with so many concubines?

But after all, he couldn't grind Li Chengqian, so he had to go.

When he arrived outside the Hongyi Palace, he heard that the prince asked to see him, and an old eunuch from the Hongyi Palace hurriedly greeted him and saluted the prince: "Nu Liuwu has seen His Royal Highness." ”

Li Chengqian said: "How is the emperor doing now?" ”

"It's good."

"I'll see you."

"Please ask His Highness and Chen Jungong to come with the slaves."

This Hongyi Palace is a little damp, especially when the weather is cold, this is a separate palace of the Sui Dynasty independent of the Taiji Palace, usually not inhabited, and after Li Yuan became the emperor, he gave this palace to Li Shimin.

But when Li Shimin became the emperor, Li Yuan was very realistic, and he moved here without saying a word, and changed places with his son.

It's just that...... This is the old palace, although it has been renovated, it is still a little dilapidated.

It is no wonder that Li Shimin wants to build a new palace for the emperor.

Chen Zhengtai went all the way in, paused in front of a palace, and then was led in by this eunuch.

When he entered the room, he saw Li Yuan kneeling on the seat, and a little eunuch was carefully peeling oranges for him.

Li Chengqian seemed to be more well-behaved at this time, and hurriedly saluted Li Yuan respectfully: "I've seen the eldest father." ”

Chen Zhengtai also saluted: "Chen Zhengtai has seen Emperor Taishang." ”

Li Yuan was in excellent spirits, looking at them with a kind smile on his face, but ...... God knows what's behind that smile!

He bowed his head and said, "Okay, my good grandson, you have grown taller." ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "I heard that the eldest father took another concubine into the palace, and the dragon body is more healthy." ”

When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking at Li Yuan, whose hair was almost gray, he was actually a little envious.

Li Yuan pulled his face and said, "I'm old, I need someone to take care of me, okay, you sit aside." ”

There was a sudden disgust in his eyes.

Li Chengqian didn't care, just continued to smile.

Li Yuan set his eyes on Chen Zhengtai's body, and said with a smile: "Is that Chen Zhengtai?" I saw you once at a banquet. ”

Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Emperor Taishang's dragon is healthy, and he should be strong when he is old, and on that day, Emperor Taishang drank a lot of wine and never got drunk." ”

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Old." ”

He shook his head, as if nostalgic for a bygone day.

When people get old, they will inevitably miss the old days, and they will think of many people and many things.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai said: "This time, the minister is here to lay heating pipes for the emperor." ”

"Heaters, what heaters?" This word was too new for Li Yuan, and he looked suspicious.

Chen Zhengtai said: "That's it...... Let the Emperor live more comfortably, the Emperor is old, His Majesty has been thinking about you, for fear that you will have something wrong. ”

"Oh." Li Yuan looked a little lukewarm.

He looked amiable, but Chen Zhengtai found that he continued to chat, as if he didn't have any focus, how could he feel that Li Yuan was not salty or indifferent to anything?

After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai said goodbye and continued to supervise the work.

…………

At noon, Liu Wu, the regular attendant of Hongyi Palace, hurried to the dormitory and saluted Li Yuan.

He looked left and right, looking very cautious, and then said in a low voice: "Emperor, the slave has inquired, what kind of heating pipe it is, it is said that it can be heated, and the copper pipes are about to be laid in Hongyi Palace." But the slave can't understand what the hell is that. ”

Li Yuan was worried, he subconsciously raised the teacup, and said thoughtfully: "Will it be ...... Is it used for eavesdropping? ”

"Eavesdropping?" Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I don't think so." Now that the emperor's dragon chair is as stable as a rock, it should not be like this. ”

"Not necessarily." Li Yuan pulled his face and said, "The more Erlang sits firmly, won't I be more in the way of him here?" I can't guess Erlang's thoughts, although he and I are father and son, but they are also enemies, I am very worried now, or...... This thing...... Could it be harmful, and possibly not poisonous? ”

Liu Wu was shocked when he heard this, he was Li Yuan's henchman, if there was really anything, the emperor would die, and he was afraid that he would have to go to the funeral with him.

Liu Wu obviously still wanted to think about it, so he said: "The emperor should relax for the time being, what it is, he will know when the time comes." ”

Li Yuan sighed, with a complicated look on his face, and said faintly: "My son, he is so good, so good that I am afraid." ”

After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "This Chen Zhengtai is Erlang's henchman, this must be Erlang's instigation, in the past few years, I have not been worried about being afraid, hey......"

He shook his head, and said again: "It's just that now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, Da Lang and San Lang, and he dares to do it, what can I count?" Let him be. ”

As he spoke, a sad look appeared on his face.

I'm afraid that there is nothing more painful in the world than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, and ...... This black-haired man was killed by his own son.

"By the way...... Liu Wu remembered something, and said: "This Chen Zhengtai is the son of Chen Jiye." ”

"Chen Jiye......" Li Yuan frowned, and couldn't help but feel sad: "This person ...... was Da Lang's henchman at the beginning, but I didn't expect it...... Chen...... Don't...... Is it deliberately for the Chen family to harm me? If so, it would be even more pathetic to me. ”

The Chen family was Li Jiancheng's person at the beginning, and this was exactly Li Yuan's arrangement, if today, the Chen family was used by Erlang to arrange to deal with him Li Yuan, Li Yuan really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, or, this is more sad.

After a pause, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I know, you go down, life is impermanent, you should be happy in time." ”

…………

When the pipeline was laid to Hongyi Palace, for a while, the Hongyi Palace was full of chickens and dogs.

Li Yuan had a smile on his face, but he was half angry in his heart, he was so old that he still had to suffer such a crime.

The brass pipe was laid, and when it entered the dormitory, it was even more cumbersome.

The eunuchs had to pry the ground open, then lay the copper pipes one by one, then hit the keel, and finally ...... Then he laid the planks on top of them.

The outside of each copper pipe also needs to be wrapped with insulation materials, and it takes seven or eight days to be considered the end.

Li Yuan has been disturbed in the past few days, and he can't help but feel a little worried, so he is extremely depressed.

After the paving, this worry is even more intense.

After a while, someone came and said they wanted to try the effect.

But when he saw the eunuchs one by one, he began to remove the charcoal basin that was originally in the palace.

Seeing the pots of charcoal being removed, Li Yuan's face was very gloomy, although he didn't say anything.

However, Liu Wu was a little angry and opened his mouth for Li Yuan: "The weather is so cold, and the Emperor Taishang's health is not good, don't you even refuse to burn the charcoal fire for the Emperor Taishang?" ”

The eunuch explained again and again, but Liu Wu didn't listen, and Li Yuan had already gone back to his dormitory to sulk.

There have been few emperors who have had a good end, and Li Yuan knows very well that he can have a few comfortable days...... Already very lucky.

But this sudden humiliation still made him unacceptable.

The charcoal fire was withdrawn, and the dormitory felt extremely cold, Li Yuan was an old man, and he couldn't stand the cold the most, and for a while, he was at a loss.

These days, he has a lot of anger in his heart, and at this time, he can't help but say angrily: "I just froze to death, I froze to death, no one cares anyway, how many people died in this Hongyi Palace, how can it be spread?" ”

Liu Wu was so frightened that he hurried in and said in a low voice: "The Emperor, the Emperor, just say a few words, outside...... There are also people, and the walls have ears. ”

"The wall has ears...... Li Yuan was originally good-tempered, but now his heart is half cold, and he has a bit of a broken jar.

He snorted coldly and said, "I have repeatedly endured, and I am cautious enough on weekdays, but ...... Even in this Hongyi Palace, they can't tolerate me. ”

Liu Wu's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but cried: "If the Emperor Taishang has any mistakes, the slave will accompany the Emperor Taishang, there is no place for the Emperor Taishang and the slave here, so ...... When I got out of the underground palace, no one disturbed him, and the slave always accompanied the emperor. ”

Li Yuan was so angry that he simply took off his boots, deliberately stepped on the cold ground, and said, "Freeze to death, freeze to death...... Also...... Good ......"

His voice ...... Suddenly it became weaker and weaker.

All of a sudden, the whole person was quiet.

Barefoot on the floor.

On this wooden floor, there is no unexpected chill.

But...... With a slight warmth.

There is an indescribable feeling to this warmth.

There is no discomfort caused by charcoal barbecue, but it is very simple and warm, especially when the soles of his feet come into contact with this, he feels extremely comfortable, as if it is not in winter, but in the spring when the flowers are blooming.

Older people are most afraid of winter, and this cold can easily cause many diseases.

But now......

Li Yuan immediately stepped on the floor with both feet.

This warmth began to permeate his whole body along his legs and feet.

It seems to moisturize things silently, and there is no very strong feeling, but the body feels extremely comfortable.

Slowly, I started to feel a little hot.

Li Yuan was originally wearing three layers inside and three layers outside, but at this time, he was ...... But he couldn't help but take off his coat, and he still felt that fine beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.

"Huh?" Li Yuan suddenly said, "What is this called?" ”

"Called...... Called ......" Liu Wu thought for a long time: "Say what kind of floor heating." ”

Li Yuan said: "It's really warm, it's very comfortable, much more comfortable than charcoal fire, I feel nauseous when I smell the smell of charcoal fire, I feel hot when I'm close, and I feel that the heating is not enough when I'm far away." This thing...... It's quite interesting, it's like the weather is warm and spring is blooming. ”

Liu Wu: "......"

In fact, Liu Wu also began to feel hot.

"Come, give me wide clothes, I've got too many clothes, it's hot."

"Oh, oh." Liu Wu hurriedly gave Li Yuan wide clothes.

Busy with work, wearing only a shirt, in the winter, stepping on the floor, as if suddenly unloaded the burden, the whole person felt relaxed.

Li Yuan said: "You have to ask, what's going on, don't ask around, go quickly." ”

Liu Wu didn't dare to slack off.

Actually, he wanted to ask about it.

It's just that most of the people in this palace are a little wary of the people in this Hongyi Palace, and there is a gap between them, and everyone doesn't want to talk too much about the people in Hongyi Palace.

Even if Li Shimin repeatedly expressed his filial piety to the Emperor Taishang, the people in the deep palace were inevitably accustomed to intrigue and wariness, afraid that he would say too much to the people in Hongyi Palace and be manipulated.

Liu Wu hurried away, this time he was going to ask more carefully.

So I waited a long time to come back.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, he began to undress, and then found the leisurely Li Yuan, at this time a concubine was serving tea to Li Yuan with her jade hand.

Li Yuan looked at the beauty below the neck with a smile, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch it, the beauty was shy, and subconsciously shrunk her delicate body, Li Yuan trembled his shriveled lips, and said, "Don't let me touch it, I'll be angry." ”

But when I saw Liu Wu coming back.

Li Yuan immediately straightened his face, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the beauty to retreat.

Liu Wu bowed down and said: "Emperor Taishang, the slave inquired and said that it was the heating stove made by the Chen family, which was installed hundreds of zhang away, and outside the palace, they boiled water there and conducted hot gas along the pipe. ”

Only then did Li Yuan know that it was just a false alarm, and he sighed: "I knew that I would let you find out." ”

Liu Wu said: "It's a slave who deserves to die." ”

Liu Wu continued: "I heard that this thing is expensive, so Chen Zhengtai and the prince personally entered the palace to install it, and they made a lot of efforts, and they were the first to ...... It is to pave the pipe to Hongyi Palace, I heard that ...... The installation alone costs tens of thousands of yuan, and it also needs to hire people and burn coal. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he was shocked: "So expensive? ”

Tens of thousands of yuan, for the royal family, is by no means a small amount of money.

And it was pretended by the prince and Chen Zhengtai themselves.

Not to mention, the first one is to shop Hongyi Palace first.

What does this mean?

Li Yuan's face suddenly turned rosy: "Well, it's good, it's good, the prince still has filial piety, Chen Zhengtai...... He is Chen Jiye, Chen Jiye is an honest man, his son, it won't be too bad to think about, the tiger father has no dogs, very good, very good......"

He was even more relieved...... The first laying of Hongyi Palace is very likely to be arranged by Li Erlang.

If so...... So...... It shows that Erlang has not lost his heart, and he can temporarily let go of his guard and continue to recuperate.

Liu Wu smiled and said, "Yes, they all have you in their hearts." ”

"Haha......" Li Yuan's eyebrows danced: "You come to help me draw up an edict, this is tens of thousands of dollars, not a decimal, you have to praise this Chen Zhengtai." ”

Liu Wu was surprised, you know...... Although Li Yuan is the emperor, in order to show that he no longer cares about external affairs, in the past three or four years, he has never drafted an edict, and now he suddenly wants to draw up an edict, which is ...... This......

Li Yuan squinted his eyes and said: "This is the arrangement of Erlang and the prince, they have all contributed and spent so much, this edict is not only to praise this kid of the Chen family, but at the same time, it is actually a hint to people that I have inherited the filial piety of Erlang and the prince." Therefore, this edict must be drawn up immediately, and Erlang will understand what I mean. ”

Liu Wu didn't dare to slack off: "Slave, let's do it." ”

When Li Yuan saw that Liu Wu was gone, he immediately called a small eunuch and ordered: "Go, I am happy today, prepare some good wine, and then call Zhou Meiren, Wu Meiren, Zhang Meiren, Yang Meiren, and Zheng Meiren." ”

"No."

…………

Chen Zhengtai was busy sweating at this time, and the experiment was quite successful, and his efforts were not in vain.

Next...... It is necessary to branch the pipeline and introduce Ziwei Palace and Lizheng Palace.

Even Chen Zhengtai thought about which palace Princess Sui'an's mother was, and he would lead one of them together!

This is his own person, even if someone in the palace gossips, Chen Zhengtai is not afraid, what's the matter, I have the ability to pay for it, you pay for it yourself.

So he called Princess Sui'an, and carefully revised the engineering drawings, tossed for a long time, and increased the budget by several thousand.

In fact, this thing is like this, the investment in the early stage is large, and the cost in the later stage is getting lower and lower.

Princess Sui'an looked very worried: "Concubine Wei doesn't have any of them in the dormitory." ”

Chen Zhengtai said very confidently: "If the Wei family has money, they will pretend to be themselves, and if they can't afford it, don't pretend." Where is there anyone who wants to put on a score but is reluctant to pay for it? I honor your mother, and if they are jealous, let them be jealous. ”

Princess Sui'an said that it was not good, she kept shaking her head, but she was happy in her heart, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, listen to you, I have to go and talk to my mother." ”

With a smile, like a butterfly, she went happily.
