Rebuilding the Daming Palace is not as simple as building a few houses, covering an area of 500 football fields, several square kilometers of land should be covered with palaces, open spaces are planted with flowers and lakes, as well as various pavilions and water pavilions, and even have a special royal botanical garden zoo, and the decoration in each palace must be arranged according to the highest royal specifications.

Not to mention the bricks and silver coins, it is only the luxurious royal decorations in the palace, even if all the jewels and pearls in the treasury and the inner treasury are taken out.

This is a huge and cumbersome project, and this project is enough to shake the country's foundation.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing were completely shocked, they didn't know when Li Shimin would come up with such a shocking idea.

It can be seen that when the emperor was diligent and thrifty, the food and clothing in the palace was actually not much higher than that of ordinary powerful courtiers.

However, when the emperor intends to indulge in extravagance and enjoy life, it is not enough for a country's treasury to pay him all the money, as now.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing finally understood the purpose of their entry into the palace today.

The purpose is very simple, temptation, blowing, ambush pen, etc., no matter what you say, anyway, Your Majesty is going to enjoy life now, so he called the two courtiers with the highest and most important status in the court, civil and military, and obtained their consent first, and they agreed, so that Li Shimin's arrogant plan could continue to the second step.

Typical pit ministers, you have been on a good day, let's carry the black pot......

The faces of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing were a little stiff, and they really didn't know how to oppose this situation.

They don't even know when His Majesty's mentality has gradually changed. became arrogant and arrogant, and when he had just seen the dawn of prosperity, he suddenly decided to stop and tell everyone that my life should not be too hurried, and I needed to be quiet. Don't ask me who Jingjing is, anyway, I want to enjoy, I want to listen to the sound of flowers blooming and falling, I want the years to flow, in short, I want to realize the transformation from a violent emperor to a literary emperor......

If an ordinary person's mentality changes, the impact is nothing more than a family, but if the king's mentality changes, it affects a country.

In fact, Li Shimin's decision was not abrupt, but the courtiers did not find out.

No matter how much a man achieves. There must always be personal restraint behind him, and this person can be an elder, a friend, or a virtuous wife. After ascending the throne in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin did not have the idea of arrogance, once he ascended to the position of the supreme in the world, there was no other pursuit in status, what else could he do except enjoy?

Fortunately, Li Shimin had a virtuous wife by his side at that time. The eldest grandson, Empress Wende, whenever Li Shimin begins to inflate himself. Empress Changsun appeared at the right time and used various methods to persuade her husband, Li Shimin was still able to respect Empress Changsun as much as ever after being admonished by his wife countless times, which shows that Empress Changsun understands the psychology of men very well, and never says anything heavy when admonishing, and gradually makes Li Shimin realize his mistake in a consultative tone. Then it automatically and consciously corrects.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun unfortunately passed away, and Li Shimin lost not only a wife, but also a life partner who was always by his side to restrain him, and no one dared to restrain him by Li Shimin's side from then on. So it became a wild ...... that had lost its reins. Ma, the things he wanted to do but didn't dare to do when Empress Changsun was alive came out of his mind one by one, such as rebuilding Daming Palace.

The eyelids of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing jumped violently.

The extravagant thoughts of an emperor are a disaster for a country, but how to advise them? Accompanied by the king for many years, the two important ministers also noticed that Li Shimin was now gradually arrogant, and gradually couldn't listen to the advice, Zhenguan nine years ago, the number of Zhengchen Wei Zheng was the largest, and at that time, the Majesty Xi à Na Wei Zheng admonished nine times out of ten, and the attitude was very humble and cautious, now? Wei Zheng admonished sparsely, His Majesty was only three or four, and his attitude was still very impatient, in the eyes of the courtiers, this was already a very strong and intuitive contrast.

Today's majesty is no longer the majesty of the past.

"I want to rebuild the Daming Palace, what do you want?" Seeing that the two were silent for a long time, Li Shimin asked again.

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered his words for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Majesty...... The rebuilding of the Daming Palace can not be completed for three or five years, and the Daming Palace costs a lot of money, if you want to start construction, you must increase the civil tax and forced labor, this matter ...... It's not easy either. ”

replied very wisely, the eldest grandson Wuji deserved to be the confidant who had followed Li Shimin for the longest time, he did not directly object, nor did he mention his likes and dislikes on this matter, but directly used the most objective difficulties to euphemistically admonish, in a very gentle way.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Jing, but Li Jing was much more honest than the eldest grandson Wuji, as the famous military god of the Tang Dynasty, his personality was too straightforward to be as tactful as the eldest grandson Wuji, seeing Li Shimin looking at him, Li Jing was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "The minister is a vulgar martial artist, only for His Majesty to open up the territory, His Majesty's internal affairs, and the minister does not know." ”

The answer is very blunt, but it can be regarded as smart, this kind of thing must not be directly expressed attitude, if you agree, you will be scolded by others as traitors and ministers through the ages, the pen of the historian can not spare them, if you oppose it...... made His Majesty unhappy, and since then he has gradually become estranged, and his existing power cannot be maintained.

No attitude is the most direct attitude, Li Shimin is not stupid, seeing the two important ministers dodging and avoiding their questions, he immediately understood what the two of them thought.

Sighing with some disappointment, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said: "Erqing, don't take it seriously, I can't soak in this bath all over my body, so I said casually, it's enough to stop soaking for a while, you and I will go to the sauna to steam again, and the taste will become more and more wonderful......"

"Mulberry ...... Take? The two looked at each other, confused.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "I don't hide it from the two of you, the bath and sauna are all novelties made up by Li Su's muddy boy, I will never forget it after trying it, and I have also built a set in the palace, what do you think?" ”

Speaking of Li Su, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled, and even Li Jing, who had always been strict, couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

"That baby can always make new things, of course, he also causes a lot of trouble, and the ministers love and hate him......" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled as he stroked his wet long beard.

Li Jing made a rare expression: "It's a good baby, it's rare to find a talent in a hundred years, my Tang Dynasty is indispensable, I only hope that he can make a few more sharp firearms, and add less casualties to the Tang Dynasty soldiers, which is to accumulate great virtue, as for causing trouble...... It is inevitable to be frivolous when you are young, and in a few years, you will be able to smooth out your temperament and become the pillar of the country. ”

These words were very pertinent, and Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji nodded slowly.

"Speaking of Li Su......" The corners of Li Shimin's mouth hooked up an unpredictable smile, and he said lightly: "Tomorrow will be his wedding day." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing obviously heard about it, so they smiled and said: "The ministers have prepared a generous gift, and they have sent the dog to send it today, so that the muddy boy will gain a little face in the township and neighborhood, and the ministers will also blackmail him a few catties of green vegetables in the future......"

Everyone laughed a few times, and Li Shimin shook his head: "If the two of you are not busy, it is better to congratulate you in person tomorrow......"

The two were surprised and looked at Li Shimin in puzzlement.

Both of them are Guogong, and they are also Li Su's elders, Li Su's wedding is said to be a good gift and send his son and nephew to congratulate him on his behalf, which is enough to give face, if he is present in person, it is inevitably not in accordance with the rules.

Li Shimin only smiled: "Let's go, although this son is young, he still has to give enough face." ”

***************************************************************

It is not a good intention to give enough face, and Li Shimin's imperial grace is not so easy to be imposing.

Let the founding ministers personally congratulate Li Su on his wedding, Li Su's wedding is famous all over the world, Mrs. is not through the door is the seventh order, when the marriage is attended by many important heroes and heroes, so lively and grand, if Li Su and Princess Dongyang secretly have a secret affair in the future, you must carefully weigh the consequences of being ruined.

The tenth day of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the day of Li Su's wedding.

…………

Every process of the wedding is very rigorous and strictly implemented in accordance with the weekly etiquette.

Because of the nature of the emperor's marriage, and one is a county prince and the other is a lady, the Ministry of Rites specially sent an official to help guide the arrangement, so Li Su's wedding became more and more like a political task, and he couldn't feel any joy in a dull way, except for his happy father Li Daozheng from beginning to end.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing really came to congratulate and watch the ceremony, sitting in the front hall of the Li family, watching the wedding meticulously walk through the process, the groom Li Su has been straining his face, lifeless as if attending his own funeral.

The important guests who watched the ceremony were not only the eldest grandson and Li Jing, but also Cheng Yanjin and a group of veterans in the army, several young eunuchs and supervisors from the Firearms Bureau also came, and most of the gentlemen from various powerful families in Chang'an City came, and the number and status of the guests were very sufficient, but everyone clearly felt an indescribable depression, and it was heavy in the seemingly joyful Li family house.

The atmosphere was not right, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin and others looked at each other, and then continued to smile quietly, Cheng Yanjin also kept joking and playing treasure at Li Su, vividly interpreting what it means to be old and not serious, and everyone tried to make this wedding look less like a funeral.

The atmosphere of the Li family is not right, and the Xu family is not much better, and everyone's smiles today seem to have been forcibly pulled out by an invisible hand.

In this weird and depressing atmosphere, Cheng Chumo and the Wang brothers were named as the prime minister, and the prime minister was the best man.
