Chapter 52: The Six Rates of the East Palace

(This is the second update...!) )

After Li Zhan finished eating, he returned to his house, followed by a piece of big ice, and the temperature in the room immediately dropped a lot, and then Li Zhan leaned on a rocking chair and shook it slowly.

The rocking chair was made by Li Zhan's father, Li Dafu.

Don't say it, Li Dafu's carpenter skills are really not to say, rocking chairs, tables, official hat chairs... As long as Li Zhan paints the furniture, Li Dafu can make it.

This is not... Most of the furniture in the Li family's home has been replaced with furniture from the Ming Dynasty, why is it the furniture of the Ming Dynasty, because the furniture of the Ming Dynasty is basically the best in the history of ancient furniture.

Next to the rocking chair is a stool with a fruit bowl with cherries in the middle of it.

These cherries were all sent by Li Chengqian, in Li Chengqian's hibiscus garden, there is a famous cherry orchard, Li Shimin also held a cherry banquet here in the past, and gave cherries to his henchmen, and they could be packed if they couldn't eat them. The cherries that could be rewarded by the emperor were an honor in those years. Therefore, the status of cherries in the minds of people at that time can be imagined, and they are not something that ordinary people can eat.

After the Hibiscus Garden was given to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian only thought about his eldest brother's good, so he didn't hold any cherry banquet, but sent all the cherries to his eldest brother.

However, there are still mistakes and mistakes, you must know that some people originally thought that if Li Chengqian also held a cherry banquet, they would join Li Chengqian's book, and the charges were all thought of, and the two words were a party.

But Nima's neck was long, and he didn't see any cherry banquet held by Li Chengqian from beginning to end.

Who the hell would have thought that a prince would actually give cherries to a commoner outside Lantian County.

There is crushed ice in the fruit bowl, the cherries are placed on the crushed ice, shake it and eat one, this life is really pleasant, there is a fan next to Li Zhan, it is Li Qian, however, Li Zhan fan fan while holding cherries with small hands to eat.

A plate of cherries, Li Zhan can eat a small half, and most of it goes into this little girl's stomach.

..............................

Just when Li Zhan was happily at home in the summer.

A carriage slowly drove out of the East Palace, and there was no need to wonder who the people in this carriage were... The person in the carriage that came out of the East Palace was Li Chengqian, and the direction he went to was Li Zhan's Zhuqiao Village, but unlike before, there were two more people in Li Chengqian's carriage at this time.

Who... One is our five-year-old and ghostly Jinyang princess Li Mingda, and the other is the seven-year-old and honest and stupid Jin King Li Zhi.

Recently, Li Chengqian's stirrups, saddles, horseshoes, and ice-making skills have been impressed by Li Shimin, and when he heard Li Chengqian say that these things were all thought of by Li Chengqian when he came into contact with the market, Li Shimin was much more relaxed about Li Chengqian's leaving the palace.

It is also possible to go out of the palace once or twice in seven days to play around Chang'an, and according to Li Shimin's bad person report, after Li Chengqian left the palace, he did not play in the restaurants and Qinglou in Chang'an City, but went to a small village outside the city.

This made Li Shimin very satisfied, because agriculture is in second place, and Li Chengqian's willingness to get close to the peasants in small villages is a very good performance.

The way of the sage is to learn, but this agricultural work must also be learned and understood, after all, agriculture is fundamental.

And why did I bring Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, today, because since some time ago, the condition of Empress Changsun has been much more serious.

This eldest grandson queen also has a qi disease, Jinyang princess Li Mingda's qi disease, some people say, it is brought in the mother's womb, in fact, except for the princess of Jinyang, almost all the children born to the eldest grandson queen died very early.

When Li Chengqian was 19 years old, he died young, and he was only 26 years old when he died.

and Lee Tae-yong Hui died when he was three years old, and he only lived to be 32 years old.

Li Mingda was even more miserable, she died before she was old enough to start a family.

Li Zhi has to live a relatively long time, but he also uses drugs to maintain his life, and their living conditions are the best, but they don't live long, why is this? Later, I found the answer in the historical material "Zizhi Tongjian", it turned out that the eldest grandson queen had a 'qi disease', so she died at the age of 35, and her disease is also very likely to be inherited, so her children are also tormented by illness, and none of them live long.

Some people will say that their short lives may also be short-lived because of constant fighting and calculation. But his son is like this, his daughter doesn't have to fight, isn't it also a death, his heart and liver baby has so much love but also died early, Li Shimin was still alive at that time, and no one dared to assassinate this princess, then she must have died of a terminal illness.

So many children do not live long, of course, it can't be accidental, so it can only be caused by the influence of their mother's qi disease, so in the final analysis, the reason for their short life span is still attributed to their mother, the eldest grandson.

Empress Changsun's condition during this period of time was much more serious, so Li Mingda and Li Zhi, who have always been very filial, were of course depressed, kneeling in front of Empress Changsun's bed every day, their little eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Seriously, it really broke Li Shimin's heart.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin thought of Li Chengqian, during this time, Li Chengqian often went out, just right, and also took his younger brother and sister out of the palace to have a good time, hoping to be more cheerful...!

It's just that although Li Mingda and Li Zhi are not very old, they have relied on their mother for a long time, although leaving the palace is what they dream of, but they are still lacking in interest.

"Son... Childish slave... Look, this is the East Market... There are also people juggling there ... That's right... Do you want to blow candy, the prince's brother will buy it for you.

Yes... And the little monkey, didn't the son want to see the little monkey before? ”

In the carriage, Li Chengqian tried his best to amuse his younger brothers and sisters, but what made Li Chengqian speechless was that no matter how hard he tried, his younger brothers and sisters all showed uninterested expressions.

"Yikes...!" At this time, Li Chengqian shouted at the little bean outside: "Little bean... Hou Guangliang, you guys hurry up and go to my eldest brother's house...! ”

At this time, Li Chengqian thought that only his eldest brother should be able to make fun of his younger brother and sister, because it is said that his eldest brother made a playground at home that children like very much, so Li Chengqian wanted to meet his eldest brother as soon as possible and make his younger brother and sister happy.

Li Chengqian shouted, and Xiaodouzi and Hou Guangliang, who were driving outside, immediately agreed to obey the order.

The speed of the carriage increased slightly, and they went to Zhuqiao Village, Lantian County, and the Hou Guangliang outside was the son of Hou Junji, the Duke of Luguo, you must know that the current Duke of Luguo is a guy who is very popular in front of Li Shimin. is one of Li Shimin's biggest henchmen, for this reason, Li Shimin also chose Hou Junji's daughter as the prince's side concubine, and married into the East Palace with the crown princess, so that Li Shimin firmly tied Hou Junji to the prince's chariot.

Because of this, Hou Guangliang, as the prince's brother-in-law, has now taken over the sixth rate of the East Palace.

The so-called six rates of the East Palace are the left and right guard rates of the prince, the left and right Siyu rates, and the left and right clearing rates, each leading 3~5 mansions. There are 1,200 people in the upper class, 1,000 people in the middle class, and 800 people in the lower class.

Of course, Hou Guangliang can command the six rates of the East Palace, mainly because he can't vote for others in his life.
