A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

A month is a long time for people who have nothing to do, but a month is really too short for people who are under heavy responsibility.

Boom –

A small table was overturned.

The ground ping-pong sounded, the broken dishes were in a mess, the table was overturned by Li Shimin, and the emperor's face was clearly full of rage, and he scolded like a roar: "Not enough, not enough, I will shout all day long that there is not enough time, what do I want you to do, this little thing can't be done......"

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and losing his temper is an exclusive privilege, Li Shimin is so thunderous and furious, the first two courtiers can only spit on their faces, until the emperor's breath is a little calmer, and one of the ministers dares to speak weakly: "Your Majesty, it is not the ministers who push and pull, nor do you deliberately complain that the time is too short, but the task you gave is too heavy, and there is really no way to complete it in a month." ”

Another minister carefully watched the emperor's face, and took the opportunity to add: "Your Majesty strictly ordered us to build the Bohai State Mansion in a grand manner, we naturally want to implement Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty will call us every other day to put forward suggestions for revision, we will rush to work overnight every time, but ......"

"But what?" Li Shimin snorted coldly, but his tone was obviously a little weakened.

The two ministers quietly glanced at each other, plucked up the courage and said: "But there is an old saying since ancient times, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Your Majesty, it is too difficult for our Ministry of Industry, if you give the task of building a mansion in Chang'an, the Ministry of Industry guarantees that you can build a mansion within a month, but this is Bohai City, our Ministry of Industry officials can be said to be unfamiliar with life, even if they do their best, but it is useless to work for half a day, for example, the most important problem of this task, it is difficult for us to hire skilled craftsmen who are good at construction. ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly again, and the emperor was sullen and angry and did not speak.

The two ministers quietly glanced at each other again, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, after all, we are on patrol with you, and we didn't expect to receive the task of building a house before coming here, so, cough cough, so I didn't take the craftsman on the road, and I can only catch the blind when I encounter difficulties now." ”

"I don't believe it!"

Li Shimin suddenly spoke, and said with an unhappy voice: "What your Ministry of Industry does is the errand of building houses and tiles, why can't you even find craftsmen after leaving Chang'an?" Although Bohai is a newly built city, the population of this city is almost larger than that of Chang'an, and with such a large population base, I don't believe that there are no skilled craftsmen among them, and to put it bluntly, you are still incompetent......"

The emperor showed signs of anger again, and suddenly shouted at one of the ministers: "Duan Lun, I want to ask you, how did you become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" According to the seniority of the emperor's relatives, you can be regarded as the uncle of the lord of the Bohai Sea in any case, but if you look at the prevarication expression on your face now, do you think you are worthy of him calling you uncle? As an elder, you even push and pull to help juniors build a house. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the other minister and said softly: "And you, who are also incompetent, I put the two of you in the Ministry of Works, and now it seems that it is really inappropriate, if this matter is handled by me, I can hire 10,000 craftsmen in three days......"

After the emperor said this, he seemed to feel that he was a little bragging, but the emperor couldn't pull his face and change his words, so he could only stiffen up and say: "After all, there are a million people living in Bohai City, and I believe that it is not difficult to hire 10,000 craftsmen. ”

The two ministers below bowed their heads and smiled bitterly.

It turned out that these two ministers were the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Shilang of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, of which the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was named Duan Lun, and the Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was Yu Xu, Duan Lun was a relative of the emperor and married a princess under Li Yuan's knees, and Yu Xu was the eldest son of Yu Shinan, who had just been promoted to the Shilang of the Ministry of Industry at the beginning of the year.

To put it bluntly, these two people are not outsiders, almost all of them have in-laws with the Tang royal family, and it is precisely because of their in-laws that Li Shimin scolded the two of them so that they did not seem to see each other.

It's a pity that the emperor can not see the outside, but when the courtiers must explain carefully, they must also take care of the emperor's face when explaining, for example, Duan Lun's speech is very artistic, this thing first carefully looked at the emperor's face, and then pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty, look at who are the people in Bohai City?" Those who fled the famine, those who asked for food, these are Han people, and they can barely be laborers, but who are the rest of them? The Turks, the Tata, they are good at war, but let them build houses as craftsmen, hehe......"

Li Shimin was obviously led to crooked thoughts, and couldn't help nodding and said: "What you said is also reasonable, I have indeed seen the vulgarity of the people of the Yan Dynasty in the past few days, good guys, look at the house they built, it is messy like a bird's nest, if it is left in our Han family, I am afraid that even the pigsty for feeding pigs is better than them." ”

"So!" Duan Lun slapped his thigh, climbed up the emperor's pole, and shouted loudly: "The city is full of such a vulgar population, Your Majesty, how can you let your ministers find skilled craftsmen?" If it weren't for the ministers and others to rush to work day and night, the Bohai State Mansion would not even have been built now, but our Ministry of Industry officials are good at overcoming difficulties, and we still did not drag down the construction period in the case of lack of manpower. ”

The upper beam is a major event in ancient architecture, and it is generally more than eighty percent of the building to the point of building the upper beam, so Duan Lun's words are strictly speaking not to boast and invite credit, and the Ministry of Industry really regards the construction of the house as a top priority this time.

Li Shimin also knew that he was in a Taiji mentality, but the emperor still snorted coldly and said: "I boasted about Haikou in front of the people of the city, saying that I would build a mansion for their city lord, but let their city lord get married in a glorious manner, and you must not let me lose my trust to the people of Bohai." ”

Duan Lun nodded without hesitation, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the minister is tired to death on the construction site, he will finish this matter." For the public, this is to build a government for the lord of the Bohai Sea, and for the private side, the minister is also his uncle no matter what, as an elder, he must help the younger generation, this is the traditional virtue of the Han family, and Weichen has always kept it in mind. ”

Li Shimin was very satisfied, his eyes swept him slightly, and the emperor suddenly put his hands behind his back, stepped out and said, "Let's go, go with me to have a look!" ”

"Again?"

The two bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry twitched their faces.

Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he said: "I don't worry, I have to watch it in person, lest I have to say one thing and do another, and it will be me who will be embarrassed at that time." ”

The two Ministry bosses were full of helplessness, and shouted again and again: "Where do we dare? Queen, she wanders around the construction site every day... No, it's personal supervision. In the past month, the first thing the queen did every day was to go to the construction site, to be a supervisor if she had nothing to do, and to call her ministers over to reprimand them if she had something to do...... And the queen has novel ideas almost every day, forcing the ministers to rebuild the house according to her ideas, Your Majesty, the reason why the construction period of the Bohai State Mansion is delayed is that the queen let us rebuild according to her whims all day long. ”

Li Shimin also knew that these two courtiers had not been comfortable recently, but the emperor couldn't pull his face to apologize to the courtiers, so he could only snort coldly, and pretended to be arrogant: "Listen to what you mean, do you dislike the queen and her troubles?" If so, I can help you talk about it. ”

The two bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry were startled, and hurriedly shook their heads like rattles, and said hurriedly: "No, no, Your Majesty doesn't need to say." ”

Just kidding, let you go to the queen to persuade us, will we have a good life afterwards?

The empress now regards the mansion of the lord of the Bohai Sea as a top priority, who dares to make the empress feel unhappy in this kind of matter?

What if the queen is upset?

That would be more terrifying than upsetting the emperor.

……

"Let's go, accompany me to see ......"

Li Shimin spoke again, this time speaking much softer.

The two bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly followed the emperor carefully.

A group of three people out of the emperor's temporary residence of the courtyard, and then there were hundreds of horsemen incarnated as the people to protect secretly, the three of them along the road all the way forward, not long before they saw a boiling construction site in front of them.

The house has almost been built.

"Your Majesty, what about this ......?"

Before anyone arrived, he heard a greeting first, Li Shimin followed the sound and found that the queen was sitting in a place to rest, and it seemed that there was a group of noble ladies around her, chattering about building a house.

Looking at that posture, it is really very rigorous, for example, if a woman makes a suggestion, someone immediately picks up a pen to write, and there is a thick layer of paper on the ground, which seems to be full of dense words.

Whenever a piece of paper is finished, a noble lady must rush away with it, and then a loud scolding is heard, and it goes without saying that it is also the noble lady who is instructing the craftsmen to modify the structure of the house according to their suggestions.

Li Shimin felt a little numb in his scalp, and couldn't help but glance back at the two courtiers.

The two members of the Ministry of Engineering behind him were full of bitterness, and among them, Shangshu Duan Lun looked at Li Shimin pitifully, and said, "Your Majesty, you have seen it, what kind of days have you been waiting for this month." ”

Saying that, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the other side, and continued to wail and said: "Look at it, they are all people who can't be provoked, the leader is the queen, the helper is Concubine Yang, the babbling is Mrs. Liu Hongji, and now she is a serious princess with a different surname, and there is also, that is the wife of the king of Hejian County, and she is also the princess of the princess, and that is Cheng Zhijie's woman, who is also the identity of a princess with a different surname......"

Such a group of noble ladies are a force that is not easy to mess with wherever they go, Li Shimin also felt a little frightened, and couldn't help but say: "This is really a little difficult for you?" Women's families like to point fingers at building houses. ”

"Don't just point fingers!"

Duan Lun was almost about to cry, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the running lady and said: "Look at it, that's my family, the status of a princess, but now she is shouting and screaming, full of excitement, in recent days, the minister was almost driven crazy by her, sometimes she was asleep at night, she kicked me over to discuss the construction of a house, saying that she had a novel idea, which needed to be used in the house of the lord of Bohai, but the minister trembled and dressed solemnly, and when I asked, I knew that she wanted to plant a few trees in the Bohai Mansion, and asked the minister, Is it better to plant pine trees, or plum trees, without waiting for the minister to give an answer, she thinks that planting trees is not as good as planting flowers, God, can you still live this life? ”

Li Shimin's face twitched involuntarily twice, and he said: "It should be, not so much!" ”

After all, Duan Lun's wife is his sister-in-law, a famous virtuous princess under Li Yuan's knees, and he, who is an elder brother, always has to protect his sister no matter what, but Li Shimin obviously believes Duan Lun's grievances in his heart.

The three of them were embarrassed to each other, and suddenly heard the queen over there say hello again, her tone was very eager, with a certain excitement, and shouted: "Your Majesty, come here, the concubine has thought of a novel idea again, you can come over and discuss it together." ”

Li Shimin was suddenly struck by lightning, as the emperor, his face changed drastically, he was just about to raise his legs and run away, and even said an excuse in his mouth, saying: "I want to inspect the construction site, so I won't discuss with you......"

It's a pity that a figure suddenly flashed in front of her, and the queen rushed to her like the wind, Li Shimin was startled, and said in a daze: "Guanyin, what speed are you?" ”

After speaking, I found that there was someone around the queen, it turned out that it was the holy high priestess with the queen, no wonder the speed was like flying, this speed was simply inhuman.

Now that the queen has been in front of her, it is not Li Shimin's nature to make excuses, the emperor coughed in embarrassment, and quickly calmed down and said: "What novel ideas does Guanyin have, don't let it go and let me ponder." ”

I didn't know that the queen snorted, and said with disdain: "You are a good hand when you are the emperor, but you are a layman when it comes to building a house, and the concubines are not fools. ”

Li Shimin was choked and rolled his eyes, but he didn't dare to be mad at this time, because a group of noble ladies had slowly gathered around him, and they seemed to be despising his poor understanding of architecture.

Since ancient times, women are not easy to mess with, and women in the Tang Dynasty are especially difficult to mess with, although Li Shimin is a dignified emperor, he does not dare to blow up in this environment surrounded by tigers.

Fortunately, the queen did not continue to embarrass the emperor, but hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty, what the concubines want to discuss with you is not the house, but others, the time is not enough, why are you not in a hurry as an uncle......"

Uh-huh?

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, couldn't help but be curious, and said, "What does Guanyin mean?" What does it mean to run out of time? ”

"Wedding! The wedding of the lord of the Bohai Sea! ”

This time, it was not the queen who answered, but a group of noble ladies around answered in unison, and between the chatters, they were surprisingly uniform.

Li Shimin was even more curious, and subconsciously said: "What about the big wedding?" I know he's going to get married! ”

"Your Majesty!"

This time it was a noble lady who squeezed over, and when she spoke, she didn't care about the identity of the emperor at all, but there was a taste of dissatisfaction, and she hated iron and said: "Since ancient times, big weddings have to be done, especially the lords of the Bohai Sea or princes, then his big wedding can't be ignored, then again, we women marry once in a lifetime, if the big wedding can't be beautiful, won't we have to end up with a regret for the rest of our lives?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at her and couldn't help but say: "How can I listen to the last sentence is your focus, I am afraid that you want to give him a big wedding because you want to satisfy your own thoughts." ”

If these words were put on ordinary people, I am afraid that they would immediately ask for guilt in fear, but the noble lady didn't care at all, but instead glared at her eyes and said, "Second brother, do you take it seriously." ”

It turned out that this lady was Duan Lun's wife, and she was a sister that Li Shimin loved more.

Li Shimin was a little helpless by his wife and sister-in-law, so he had to say stupidly: "Why are you waiting for a long time, but I haven't said what the hell is going on, don't worry, come one by one, Guanyin, you say first, Concubine Yang, you add, sister don't need to stare, pay attention to your identity as a married woman, your son is almost crowned, don't jump up and down like a little girl all day long, you are a princess, and you are an elder princess......"

It's a pity that the emperor's words didn't have the slightest lethality, and a group of noble ladies didn't care about these at all.

On the contrary, the ladies soon became excited and began to chatter about the wedding.

Only then did Li Shimin realize that the suggestions of the ladies were not purely because of the enthusiasm of women.

Since ancient times, weddings should indeed be done according to what they say!

If you do what they say, then there is indeed not enough time......

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at the two courtiers behind him, and subconsciously said: "I'm afraid I'm going to ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to help with this matter!" ”

The two bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry behind him had long wanted to find an excuse to slip away, and when they heard this, they suddenly shouted again and again: "Your Majesty wait a while, the minister will go and help you call people, and in a moment or three, you will definitely call the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

After speaking, the girl ran away, leaving only the emperor and a group of noblewomen, who for some reason gradually began to chirp again.

This time, even the emperor was very excited to participate in the discussion of a group of women.

The more we discussed, the more excited we became......

Big Wedding!

The wedding of the lord of the Bohai Sea!

……

…… The plot of this chapter is too coherent, it's not easy to pinch and develop, so let's send it together, guess what, what are we going to write before the wedding, just wake up, Li Yun's wedding is a big plot?
