"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!"

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Li Chengqian came to the tower of Chengtianmen City with a glorious guard of honor, thunderous cheers erupted from below.

The cheers rang out for miles, terrifying the captives near the Taiji Palace and the officials who had finally come to quell the rebellion.

Several ministers next to Li Chengqian were also stunned when they saw this scene, and then looked at Li Chengqian, who was standing in the middle and waving at the people under the city gate, and really had the feeling of seeing flowers in a fog.

The cheers reached the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin smiled tiredly when he heard it, and said to the little chamberlain beside him: "I can't sleep yet, go and invite Yang Qing to talk to me." ”

Yang Shidao was originally sitting in the palace with Gao Shilian, but he was sad and sad when he heard about the death of his son Li Yuzhi and wanted to go home to see.

Li Chengqian was worried that the news would leak out, so he left him in the palace to rest.

At this time, Li Shimin came to him to slowly persuade him, and it can be regarded as dealing with the aftermath for Li Chengqian.

Just when everyone envied Li Chengqian's popularity with the people, Li Chengqian, who was standing on the Chengtian Gate, had mixed feelings in his heart.

Li Chengqian looked at the enthusiastic cheers of the people below, and suddenly felt ashamed, and said in his heart that he had not brought much change to the people of Chang'an since he had passed for more than a year.

It took not a month or two to build a huge storage warehouse on a deserted river beach, nor did it take a technological innovation to make the people of Chang'an live a warm winter.

But with the sincere support of so many people, can he not be ashamed?

Li Chengqian slowly raised his hands to signal the silence below, but the people below couldn't see what he was doing at all, and the cheers and shouts were still there.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to turn around and say to the old ghost: "You take people down to spread the decree, the people of Chang'an City help the country to hoe traitors, loyalty, courage and martyrdom, the imperial court exempts Chang'an and Wannian counties from rent for two years, and tonight they will go back to their respective homes first, and in a few days, the lonely king will give Chang'an City a big gift." ”

Gao Shilian next to him heard that Li Chengqian's reward was more than double that of Li Shimin, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty's reward for the people of Chang'an has been decided, and it is not appropriate to change it!" ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked at the cheering people, and said without looking back: "Do what the lonely king says, and your majesty will explain it to the lonely king." ”

When the old ghost heard this, he didn't dare to disobey the order.

The other ministers looked at the excited people below and the confident Li Chengqian did not speak.

The old ghost went down with a group of attendants to deliver the will, and the people below once again burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of people knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chengqian before gradually dispersed.

It wasn't until all the people left that Li Chengqian turned around and watched a group of sixty or seventy-year-old ministers follow him until now, and he was a little unhappy.

"The East Palace Catering Department prepared some supper and sent it to Youchunfang, and Zhongqing and King Gu ate supper and then went back." Li Chengqian said as he walked down the city tower.

Now that Li Shimin has ordered him to return to the East Palace, he naturally can't forcibly stay in the Ganlu Palace.

Li Chengqian led the group to the East Palace Youchun Fang, the old ghost took people to clean up a large hall, and before the supper was delivered, Li Chengqian and the ministers sat down to rest first.

As soon as the ministers sat down, they all looked at Li Chengqian, waiting for the interrogation and handling of this rebellion of King Jing to set the tone.

Li Chengqian glanced at a circle of ministers, and said to Xue Dading, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry: "Xue Shangshu, you will arrange for someone to find a pottery kiln near Chang'an tomorrow, and King Gu will burn a large number of pottery pipes." ”

The ministers were a little stunned by Li Chengqian's sudden words.

Xue Dading didn't know what the pottery pipe was, so he hurriedly got up and said, "What is the pottery pipe of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Li Chengqian laughed to himself when he heard this, remembering that none of these people had ever seen a pottery pipe, so he ordered someone to bring pen and ink.

Looking at the sketch of the pottery pipe painted by Li Chengqian, Xue Dading was even more confused, what do you want to do with this?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can neither hold rice nor water in this thing, what do you want to do with this?" Xue Dading spread his hands and asked.

Li Chengqian smiled faintly when he heard this: "This can be watered." ”

Water?

The ministers couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

Li Chengqian saw that the ministers didn't understand, so he said directly: "The drainage ditches in each square of Chang'an City are open ditches, and the sewage in the ditches in spring, summer and autumn every year is stinky.

It not only makes the environment of Chang'an City bad, but also attracts many mosquitoes and flies.

These insects, mosquitoes, and flies can transmit various diseases, which are harmful to the people of Chang'an.

Therefore, the lonely king wanted to burn a batch of these pottery pipes and bury them in the ditch, so that the sewage could flow from such pottery pipes to the fields outside the city.

In this way, Chang'an City will no longer stink. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the sewage in Chang'an City was all domestic sewage, and there were basically no chemicals in it, and there was no problem with filtering it through the wetland outside the city through pottery pipes and using it in farmland.

Xue Dading listened and nodded slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really dedicated to the people, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just exempted the rent of the two counties of Chang'an Wannian, how can the imperial court have Ding servants to burn pottery pipes to build channels?"

As soon as this sentence came out, some ministers in the palace immediately stood up to oppose it, and it was the pursuit of Confucian civil officials in ancient China to lightly punish the poor.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qizuo is ready for supper!" That's when the old ghost came in.

"Come on!"

Supper is as simple as a bowl of green vegetables and egg noodles per person.

Li Chengqian stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and said with a sigh: "Now many people say that the Tang Dynasty is strong, I don't know if the people who just went back have a bowl of egg noodles to eat." ”

The ministers were speechless when they heard it.

Thinking that if Li Shimin is in good health, like Xinxin, who succeeds in countering the rebellion tonight, how can he invite hundreds of civil and military officials to have a banquet to celebrate,

The delicacies are served like flowing water, and it is only right that everyone can enjoy the singing and dancing while having a good time.

You are so delicious that you still say this, don't the common people have a bowl of egg noodles, and we don't eat it?

Just when some ministers were complaining in their hearts, Gao Jifu put down the bowl and walked out.

I saw him walk to the middle of the main hall and bow solemnly to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very impressed by the people's clothing and food, so he dares to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to exempt the Ministry of Industry from firing pottery pipes to reduce the forced labor of the people in the two counties of Chang'an." ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they couldn't help but sweat for Gao Jifu, now is the time when Li Chengqian's prestige is the highest.

And everyone can see that Li Chengqian wants to repair the sewer pipe, just to leave his mark in Chang'an City.

Not to mention that the construction of sewer pipes is indeed beneficial to the people of Chang'an.

Even Li Chengqian will not stop this matter in order to reflect his sense of existence.

Sure enough, Li Chengqian's face suddenly sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly walked out and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a courtier, you ......"

Li Chengqian raised his hand to interrupt Yu Suiliang, glanced at the ministers and said lightly: "King Gu said that if you exempt the people of Chang'an City from rent, you will not go back on your word.

You will eat the noodles in the bowl first, and then the Lone King will tell you how to do it. ”

After that, he began to eat noodles with his head down.

Yu Suiliang hurriedly motioned for the embarrassed Gao Jifu to step back together.

A bowl of noodles was quickly finished.

Li Chengqian saw that the ministers had put down their chopsticks, so he said lightly: "Spread the will of King Gu, and the case of King Jing's rebellion will be tried by Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu and Dali Shaoqing Xin Mao. ”

Of the three things Li Chengqian said, only Xu Jingzong was here, and he hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded lightly and continued: "Except for the main criminals, the rest of the rebels' subordinates were handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and they were ordered to burn pottery pipes to atone for their crimes. ”

The ministers couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, a rebellion like tonight, the main culprit was beheaded and there was nothing to say, and the subordinate generals, domestic slaves and others were the most important to send to the frontier.

However, there is no precedent for making them hard labor during interrogation, except for those who are explicitly punished with hard labor.

But this is indeed a way, so the ministers did not say anything.

Xue Dading came out to salute and receive the order.

Li Chengqian then said to the hundred officials: "The construction of sewers in Chang'an City is to be worked by all the people of Chang'an, including the Guwang, and each family must at least dig out the sewers near their homes. ”

"Your Ministers obey!" All the ministers stood up to receive the order.

Nothing else, Li Chengqian said that he was going to work, and they couldn't escape.

Li Chengqian looked at the ministers and didn't let them sit down, but snorted lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, is it appropriate for King Gu to arrange the construction of the sewer pipeline in Chang'an City in this way?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been thoughtful, and this arrangement is very appropriate." The ministers knew that Li Chengqian was going to settle the account, so they all followed him.

Li Chengqian didn't appreciate it and said: "The lonely king can be thoughtful, why can't you think of it when you read poetry and books one by one?" How is it that things have become impossible to do with you?"

Li Chengqian's two questions did not leave any affection at all, and the ministers were speechless when asked.

In the end, I had to admit my mistake and say: "The subordinates are derelict in their duties! ”

It stands to reason that this conversation should also be over, after all, Li Chengqian has already taken advantage of it.

But Li Chengqian still refused to let them go, and asked sharply: "King Gu once sent "Anti-Books" to hundreds of officials, which of you has read it?"

Last year, the people who attended the meeting put forward a lot of opinions, which of you took it to heart?

How much do you plan to accomplish in the outline of Datang's ten-year development plan?"

Courtiers:......

"Okay, it's late to go back tonight, you can come back later tomorrow, but you have to find out these documents that King Gu said and read them carefully, you don't just read a few sages for officials, you have to pretend to be the people of the world in your heart!"

The ministers were stunned by his training, and they were stunned for a long time before they should come over and salute and leave.
