Rebuilding the Daming Palace?

Li Su was stunned: "It's just to build a palace, and it's still 'all over the world' to collect craftsmen?" Is this necessary? ”

Xu Jingzong was also stunned: "'Build a palace'? Lord Jianzheng, rebuilding the Daming Palace is not just 'building a palace'......"

Li Su gradually came back to his senses, and finally asked a question that was not too stupid: "Daming Palace...... How big is it? ”

This question got to the point, Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "The Daming Palace is not too big, and the four Daming Palaces are almost one Chang'an City." ”

Li Su was taken aback, a palace is equivalent to nearly one-third of Chang'an City, which is now the largest city in the world, with a huge population of one million.

"What did you eat wrong...... cough, Your Majesty may have been unwell recently......," Li Su quickly changed his words, in order to cover up his disrespect just now, he randomly found a direction to treat it as Taiji Palace, and arched his hand perfunctorily, expressing the courtiers' condolences to the emperor who took the wrong medicine.

Xu Jingzong sighed: "Daming Palace began to be built as early as the eighth year of Zhenguan, originally in order to give the Emperor Taishang a peaceful life, when His Majesty decided to build the Daming Palace, the courtiers of the three provinces and six departments were very opposed, but at that time His Majesty had made up his mind, and he was determined to build a palace for the Emperor Taishang, and the Emperor Taishang ......"

Xu Jingzong said suddenly, looking a little embarrassed.

The meaning of the words was not finished, but Li Su suddenly understood.

To put it simply, Daming Palace was originally a prison built by Li Shimin to his father Li Yuan after the change of Xuanwumen, the difference is that this prison is full of pavilions and water pavilions, wine ponds and meat forests, which are stuffed with all kinds of beauties and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, and all the things that can satisfy people.

seized the imperial power, Li Shimin didn't want there to be an emperor above him who was always chattering in his ear. After a lot of hard work, he had to enjoy it alone, so Li Shimin put his father under house arrest and did not allow him to participate in national affairs and court affairs. Before the construction of Daming Palace started, Li Yuan was locked up in Da'an Palace, in order to be filial to his father. Li Shimin stuffed countless beauties into Da'an Palace for his lewd pleasure......

At that time, Li Yuan was in his sixties, and an old man in his sixties was the age of abstinence and health, but his son stuffed him with a lot of peerless beauties, and he didn't know how many times he came every day in the pile of beauties. Destined to live long.

"Zhenguan eight years began to start construction, the Ministry of Engineering only drawings piled up higher than the mountain, each of these drawings to be built in kind, at that time the treasury money was only more than three million, with these money to build a palace that has never been seen in history, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households made a budget, with the future treasury ten years into the income, but also can only build four or five out of ten of the Ming Palace. At that time, the ministers were opposed, but His Majesty did not accept it. Insist on starting construction. Zhenguan nine years, Daming Palace only laid the foundation, built the Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall three main halls, the Emperor Taishang died suddenly in June, after the national mourning. The ministers went up again, and His Majesty had no reason to build the Daming Palace, so he ordered the work to be stopped......"

Xu Jingzong explained slowly, his expression was a little complicated, as if he wanted to show a little indignation and justice. Like Wei Zheng, he put on a five-step pose that didn't agree with a word, but after all, he lacked a little confidence in his heart, and the bad guys occasionally showed an inexplicable lack of heart.

"Xu Shaojian thinks that Daming Palace should not be rebuilt?" Li Su looked at Xu Jingzong's tangled appearance and was a little funny.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly said: "Cultivation is naturally to be cultivated, Your Majesty has worked hard for the country for many years, and under the rule of such a splendid country, the court is clear, and the people live in peace, this is all the work of Your Majesty, and it is understandable to repair the palace and enjoy the blessings, but it is just ...... It's just that it would have been a few years later. ”

After speaking, Xu Jingzong seemed to feel ashamed that he could not keep pace with His Majesty's thoughts, and he apologized for facing the direction of Taiji Palace, Li Su was very confused, the direction of his hand just now seemed to be different from Xu Jingzong's......

"In the eleventh year of Zhenguan Dazhi, although the officials are honest and honest at present, and the people live in peace, but the Tang Dynasty is far from being rich, not only the matter of money and grain, once the construction of the Daming Palace is started, it is bound to requisition hundreds of thousands of people from all the states of the world, increase the world's servitude, and the people are transferred to Jingzhao, who will farm the land at home? Who's going to join the army? Who will feed the family? Who will marry a wife, have a baby, and add a man to Gadin? Imagine, the population of my Datang Guanzhong is only one million, and hundreds of thousands of people are transferred from one million households. What can the rest of the people do? Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, His Majesty Xià decided to rebuild the Daming Palace this year, and ...... it"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and sighed, he didn't dare to say anything more about the next words, and it was not a good thing to say.

Even a bad person like Xu Jingzong feels that something is wrong, which shows that this matter is indeed very wrong.

Li Su said with a smile: "For our Firearms Bureau, only half of the craftsmen have been transferred, Xu Shaojian, you arrange things properly, and the rest of the things are not in their positions, they are not in their politics, those should be the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries should worry about." ”

Xu Jingzong also smiled: "Yes, the lower officials are also the same as those craftsmen, and they are idle to talk to the prison officials, and the only ones who can really advise His Majesty are the courtiers of the three provinces." ”

Li Su said slowly: "Sending craftsmen from the Firearms Bureau to repair the Daming Palace, this is His Majesty's will, you and I are against uselessness, there is only one problem I care about...... The craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau are all a group of killers who make earth-shattering thunder, and they are transferred to repair the palace, is the Ministry of Industry going to arrange for them to blast and demolish? ”

Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly: "Lord Jianzheng, many of our craftsmen are soldiers in the army, and these people have the qualifications to build houses and repair bridges before they were transferred to the Firearms Bureau. ”

"Oh, that's okay, I'm just worried that His Majesty's palace is about to be repaired, and there is an inexplicable boom, it's gone. Majesty fainted in the thatched house......"

Xu Jingzong: "............"

After Xu Jingzong left, Li Su knelt on the couch with a little strangeness on his face.

The last time Li Shimin went to Li's house, he didn't think he was dirty, and jumped into Li Su's big bath to enjoy five people and six people, at that time he suddenly sighed, saying that it was time to enjoy it, and it was not until this moment that Li Su understood that Li Shimin's words were not made by feeling, but had already made a decision......

"Maybe it's because I'm soaking in my bath that I'm too comfortable, so I'm arrogant and lascivious?" Li Su muttered to himself suspiciously.

"It's a lot of trouble to repair the palace, isn't it easy to have some entertainment...... The square in front of Tai Chi Palace is so big, I can teach him square dance. ”

Li Su muttered a few words to himself. Suddenly, he took out a few drawings from his arms.

It was a picture of two firearms drawn by his own hands, one was a landmine, and the other was a hundred tigers rushing arrows, and he had planned to use these two drawings as bargaining chips to negotiate with Li Shimin and ask to marry Dongyang, but the East Window incident occurred. If he used it as a bargaining chip, Li Shimin might really kill him, so he kept it hidden.

Looking at the drawings in his hand, Li Su showed a complicated expression, and brought them close to the candle flame in the hall, and the flames appeared, and the drawings turned into ashes.

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

The decision to rebuild the Daming Palace was not discussed with the courtiers, and Li Shimin suddenly issued an order to transfer 100,000 people from Guanzhong to Chang'an.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Wei Zheng, the provincial servant of Shangshu, was the first to stand up and strongly oppose it, and knelt in front of Chengtianmen several times to ask to see Tianyan, but Li Shimin avoided it.

This time, Li Shimin's reaction was really not like that of the Holy Tomorrow.

The mentality is easy to understand, since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard for more than ten years, getting up earlier than the chicken, working more tired than the cow, and every day is a mountain of music and endless court meetings, and there is no personal enjoyment time at all. Occasionally, I want to play with a bird, but it happens to be met by the stubborn old man Wei Zheng. I was so frightened that I took the bird in my arms and killed it......

At the beginning, he killed his brother and killed his brother, and he snatched the throne with a dead face, but he was tired into a dog. Whether Li Shimin remorsefully slapped his big mouth in the dead of night is impossible to test, but it is certain. After eleven years of hard work, he was deeply tired of it.

In the past 11 years, the internal benevolent government and the external toughness, the Manchu monarchs and ministers have unswervingly implemented the national policy of "inner saint and outer king", and they have only been on the throne for four years. The accumulated national strength and military strength finally broke the Eastern Turks, the shame of the alliance of snow and water, and then all the states were in awe, competing to come to the court, last year with the Tubo Songzhou war, 50,000 Guanzhong elite not only recovered Songzhou, but also broke into the territory of Tubo nearly a thousand miles, the strong enemy in the north Xue Yantuo was a push En Ce to make a fuss, the internal turmoil and panic, has become the Tang army's bag, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty has added an invincible sharp firearm......

Peaceful inside and outside, Li Shimin's mentality has finally changed unconsciously, and life is really lonely like snow......

As an emperor who stands at the pinnacle of the world and is so lonely that he is in a mess, what else does he have to pursue?

I can only build a luxurious palace and play happily.

However, Li Shimin's ideas were not shared by the courtiers.

The idea of the courtiers is also very direct, the royal family can build a garden, repair a certain palace or something, but if a palace covering an area of more than 5,000 acres is built on flat land, this ...... Ya Yan Butterfly, if you dare to cultivate, I will die to show you.

…………

The court was noisy and chaotic, and Li Su wore a simple long shirt and followed Wang Zhi to Dongshi.

In the front hall of a silk shop in Dongshi, Li Su sat in a very inconspicuous corner, watching the shopkeeper rush back and forth to greet guests, and he and Wang Zhi drank the golden soufflé slowly and methodically.

After waiting for half an hour, two figures walked in outside the door, Wang Zhi smiled, pointed to the white and chubby fat man walking in front, and laughed softly: "That is the merchant of Yuezhou, Jiangnan Province, Song Gongyang, and the person in the back is the one who was bought by Dr. Taichang Liu Fangzhong." ”

Li Su stared at it, only to see that behind the fat man was a figure quite cowering, although he was dressed as a man, but his posture was too enchanting, which attracted the customers and shopkeepers in the store to look sideways.
