Volume 1 Into the Tang Dynasty Chapter 80 Land Temple

After the crown prince was established, the enthronement ceremony came to an end, and Li Shimin continued to meet with officials who were rarely seen in the past, taking this opportunity to attract a few people.

This group of people may not necessarily return to Chang'an again for five or ten years, except for contacting Chang'an regularly, almost all of them are local emperors, Emperor Shangao is not an empty word now, now is the time to strengthen the contact with them, Li Shimin will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Li Chengyang, on the other hand, has nothing to do, and the officials don't even think about it, and don't do those things that make people reverie as soon as he sits on the throne.

Wilted back to the side courtyard, along the way also showed a smiling face, into the side courtyard then squeezed some ugly smiles to deal with the congratulations of the crowd, took care of himself back to the study, closed the door and did not allow anyone to come in.

Saying that happiness is fake, more than half a month of hard work has come to naught, I thought it was finally his turn to shine this time, who knew that people were not as good as heaven, and it ended with such a dramatic act.

No wonder Li Chengqian in history rebelled, look at this Manchu dynasty, no one put him as the new prince in his eyes, some people even gave him a salute by the way when they asked Li Shimin for peace, but more people just treated him as air.

As if he could predict his future life, Li Chengqian was also the prince of this heaven at the beginning, this prince has been in charge for more than 30 years, and he has been treated as air for more than 30 years, not to mention him, even the gods are afraid and can't hold back their anger.

After a short period of loss, I thought about it again, people are not the same, Li Chengqian's tragedy may not be repeated to him, since few people take him in their eyes, then try to improve their sense of existence, and there will always be a day when they will enter the eyes of others.

Just when Li Chengyang comforted himself and was ready to do a big job, someone knocked on the door, and then pushed the door inside.

The only one who can make this kind of action is Xiao'er, and even Li Gu doesn't dare to go in and out of the study at will.

"Young master, someone is coming, go and greet you" Xiao'er hurriedly picked up Li Chengyang and rushed out.

Message? Didn't you just come back, what was not clear at the time, what does it mean to send someone to deliver the decree now? Could it be that Li Shimin regretted it again? Ready to give him an afterthought?

"It is rumored that Prince Chengyang will move out of the East Palace tomorrow and choose a place to live, and there must be no mistakes" The person who ordered the herald left a message and left in a hurry, apparently afraid that he would be asked something.

Moving out of the East Palace? Li Chengyang muttered to himself, it seems that his prediction has come true, Li Shimin didn't let him stay in the East Palace, didn't he want him to be the prince, where is the reason why the prince does not live in the East Palace.

Xiao'er pulled the corner of Li Chengyang's clothes with a pale face: "Young master, don't be afraid, I will follow you wherever you go, with the young master's skills, how can I not fall to the way I used to be."

Li Chengyang didn't have a good face, rubbed Xiao'er's head and let her leave, he stood in place for a long time, how wrong he thought.

Li Shimin is no matter how unreliable he is, he will not take away his crown prince at this time, even if he drags on for a few days and casually finds an excuse to remove his position, he will not go back on the same day.

I don't want to think about things that I can't figure out, isn't there a know-it-all mother in the palace, even if this matter is a state affair and a family matter, just go and ask.

Even Li Shi didn't care about shouting, and trotted all the way to the eldest grandson's bedroom.

The eldest grandson was standing outside the hall overlooking the scene of Daming Palace, although he couldn't see anything, but he also seemed to be standing on the high altar at the same time as Li Shimin to accept the worship of all the people, and he was very proud at this time.

Seeing Li Chengyang's panicked appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle, and waited for Li Chengyang to get close before he spoke: "Yang'er, if you don't follow your father and the emperor to entertain the officials, why are you panicking like this."

Li Chengyang pursed his mouth: "Mother, where is my business there, my father's busy feet don't touch the ground, I don't see that I have anything to do and come back first, who would have thought that my father would actually drive me out, mother, you have to be the master for me."

Unconsciously when he came to the eldest grandson, the anger in his heart would unconsciously fade away, if it weren't for the only bit of shame that came into play again, he wanted to plunge into the arms of the eldest grandson and accuse the unscrupulous father fiercely.

The eldest grandson's face changed, and he returned to nature after a few breaths, and then he began to be happy when he looked at Li Chengyang's appearance.

"Mother, don't be happy first, tell me first, what is my father thinking, this is going to drive me out of the East Palace, you still have the heart to laugh" Li Chengyang scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, and his heart was even hairier when the eldest grandson smiled like this, and he asked without hesitation.

The eldest grandson nodded the bridge of his nose, and there was a smile in his tone: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at your father, I didn't expect him to be forced to be like this, don't worry, it's okay, you better go find a place to move over first."

If you don't find out the truth of the matter, Li Chengyang is afraid that he won't even want to sleep tonight, and after a series of questions, the eldest grandson can be regarded as telling the truth.

The source of the problem is still Li Yuan, the old man obviously has no change in his son, otherwise how could there be such an important thing as his son ascending the throne without showing up.

Now that Li Shimin has ascended the throne, the embarrassing thing is coming, according to the convention, the emperor should live in the Taiji Palace.

However, now that there is already a master in the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan is stubbornly holding and refusing to give way, Li Shimin, as a person with vested interests, is naturally not easy to kill them all, so he has to obey Li Yuan's wishes and give the Taiji Palace to Li Yuan to live in.

Then Li Shimin had no choice but to continue to stay in the East Palace, then the current East Palace has become the emperor's bedroom, and Li Chengyang, the prince, must build a mansion alone, after all, there is no precedent for the prince and the emperor to live together.

As for the name of the East Palace, the eldest grandson also gave an explanation, the ritual of this thing is greater than the actual effect, that is to say, where Li Chengyang lives in the future, where is the new East Palace, just like Li Shimin lives in the current East Palace, then it will become the emperor's bedroom.

The local governor Sun also gave detailed guidance.

Daming Palace is the place where the ministers go to court, in the center of the imperial city, behind is Li Yuan's Taiji Palace, on the right is the previous East Palace, on the left is the Yeting Palace, there are several side halls on both sides of the East Palace, the left side hall next to the East Palace is called the Wude Palace, and the right side is the new East Palace chosen by the eldest grandson for him.

With a stomach full of gossip and unspeakable emotions, he returned to the side courtyard, called Shangxiao'er Li Shi and went to the East Palace that belonged to him.

This place is also often passed by, I have never heard of anyone living in it, Li Chengyang once thought that this was the cold palace, Li Yuan ascended the throne after the son-in-law was all adults, except for Li Jiancheng, they were all sent out to open the mansion, Li Jiancheng alone occupied the territory of the entire East Palace.

Li Yuan also has a lot of concubines, but the concubines are not qualified to be ranked with the East Palace, and they are all arranged by Li Yuan in other places, so there should be no one in this new East Palace.

From the outside, it looks like it's well maintained, and the walls have been carefully maintained, at least it looks much more beautiful than the previous East Palace.

As soon as I pushed the door, this beautiful idea came to naught, and the whole yard was covered with crazy weeds, and the inside of the wall was full of potholes, and after many winds and rains, I saw the dense swallow's nests on the main hall and the dense cobwebs under the eaves forming a cloth.

"Bang" closed the door, turned around and left, this face project is done, it looks decent from the outside, and the real gold and jade are ruined on the outside, and they do not accept any refutation.

"Young Master, where are you going? Let's not look at the East Palace first? ”。

"Go back, call someone, clean up the house, where is there any East Palace, the whole set of a horror movie, go quickly, I just saw a snake swimming past the door, don't run out and bite you later."

"Ah, young master, wait for me" Xiao'er heard that there was a snake, what she was most afraid of was the snake, so she hurriedly chased after it, followed back to call someone, and vowed to get rid of the snakes, insects, rats and ants in this courtyard.

By the time the guards cleaned up the courtyard, it was already dark, and with the continuous efforts of everyone, the yard finally had a little appearance, and the house was still waiting for tomorrow to continue to be cleaned.

Changed places, Li Chengyang carefully walked around, in general he was very satisfied, this place is located in the dead corner of the original East Palace and Taiji Palace, there are not too many people coming and going, it seems a lot quieter, so what he does can be regarded as a secret.

I also went to the Yeting Palace to take a look before, and wanted to see what the real cold palace looked like, but Li Chengyang, who came back, was extremely unhappy, the family members of the offending officials, and the palace maids who made mistakes seemed to live better than him, at least the bricks and tiles were all complete.

Thinking of their East Palace again, the potted walls have been pasted up with yellow mud by skilled craftsmen, the whole wall is like the remains after the shootout, this piece and that, the roof tiles have not seen a piece intact, this is more like the cold palace than the cold palace The place is actually the future residence, don't call the East Palace in the future, the current layout is like the land temple where you lived before, it is called the land temple.

The guards were ordered to leave, Li Chengyang pulled Xiao'er and Li Shi, the three of them and a rocking chair swayed in the moonlight, Li Chengyang was thinking about his future plans, Xiao'er looked at his young master in a daze, Li Shi vigilantly raised his knife and glanced around, for fear of jumping out of somewhere.

From today on, they can be regarded as officially having a home, and it is not surprising that they will have been living in this place for more than ten or twenty years, and once people have stabilized, they will begin to unconsciously begin to think about the future.

Now Li Chengyang is thinking about what else needs to be done in the future, the matter of opening a restaurant is imminent, the prince is still the fifty taels of monthly money, it is really beyond his means, and now he is starting to dig out Li Gu's pocket, although according to him, the money is enough for him to spend until he dies, but he can't always spend the pension money of the elderly.

In the future, there will be more places to use money, and the forty-six guards have now begun to train in large doses, and the meat they need is also a large amount, and now that they are the prince, they have to collect some doormen, and these people also consume a lot of food and clothing.

But this is not a big deal, what Li Chengyang has always wanted to do and must do is a special treatment after becoming the prince: the prince's six guard rate.

This was a rule that had been in place for a long time, and the six guards under the crown prince ranged from three to six prefectures, each of which was calculated on a medium scale of 1,000 people, and roughly estimated to have about 20,000 people.

The main role of these 20,000 people is to act as a guard of honor, and the prince will be escorted by the prince's guard when he travels, and the key is that the guard rate belongs directly to the prince, and other people's orders are not very effective for them.

20,000 people is nothing to Li Shimin, but for Li Chengyang, it is a send-off in the snow, if these 20,000 people can be trained well in modern military training methods, it will definitely be an important support for Li Chengyang on the battlefield in the future.

This is an opportunity and a burden, 20,000 people are usually distributed by Li Shimin to him, but if they are all allowed to do a lot of training, then the meat they need will be gone, this money Li Shimin is not responsible for it, if you don't want to make some money, then don't think about anything, wash and sleep, there is everything in your dreams.

Soldiers, you have to train, so you have to get the money, and you will go out of the city tomorrow to choose a site.
