Yang Zhou remembered that the Taiji Palace was built by the Sui Dynasty, originally known as Daxing Palace, and the overall size of the East Palace of Taiji Palace was about 1.24 square kilometers, about 1.7 times that of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

There are five main halls on the north and south central axis of the East Palace, the first one from south to north is the Xiande Palace, the Xiande Hall is the outer dynasty of the East Palace, it is extremely magnificent and magnificent, Li Shimin ascended the throne and called the emperor in the Xiande Palace.

Later, Wu Zetian's son Li Xian ascended the throne and changed it to the Jiade Palace.

Behind it is the Chongjiao Hall, the Lizheng Hall, the Guangtian Hall and the Cheng'en Hall in the back garden.

On both sides of the Cheng'en Hall are the Yichun Palace and the Yiqiu Palace from left to right.

Yang Zhou walked out of the main hall, was blown by the wind and suddenly felt cold and biting, and wanted to turn around to find a dress, but the crown princess had already put a satin fox skin cloak on him from behind.

Yang Zhou's heart warmed, he turned around and smiled warmly at the crown princess, and looked up to see "Yiqiu Palace" written on the door.

"You just stay here and look at the house." The old ghost Bai Zhou is Li Chengqian's cronies, Li Chengqian is "unconscious" and unconscious, he dares to stop the crown princess outside the palace.

Thinking about what Li Chengqian did, you know that he is not a good thing. Besides, he is so close to Li Chengqian, he is a traverser, keep him by his side, what if he sees through it?

Along the way, Yang Zhou thought about how to adapt to Li Chengqian's identity, and was not in the mood to appreciate the magnificent and solemn Sui and Tang Dynasty palaces.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Zhou and his party came to the Lizheng Hall.

In the main hall of Li, there were already female officials who prepared breakfast and toiletries, and Yang Zhou was served by several palace maids to wash.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a meal system, and everyone put a small table in front of them, and people knelt behind the small table.

Li Chengqian's feet were not good, and Yang Zhou sat cross-legged directly.

Seeing the rules and regulations of the crown princess, she knelt on the side, and pretended to say casually: "Why don't you see Xiang'er and Ju'er?"

Li Xiang is the eldest son of Li Chengqian and the palace girl before marrying the crown princess, Zhenguan was born in the eighth year, and now it is the end of Zhenguan's sixteenth year, and he should be eight years old.

Li Ju was born to the crown princess, born in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, and is now four years old.

Yang Zhou is looking for these two brothers now in order to talk from the mouth of a child.

"Xiang'er is in Yichun Palace, and Ji'er is in Cheng'en Hall to be taken care of by a nursing mother." The crown princess said a little nervously.

"Let them come over and we'll eat together." Yang Zhou said casually.

It's just that the more casual he pretended, the stronger the shock he gave to the crown princess and others.

Since the death of Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian gradually lost Li Shimin's favor, and Li Chengqian began to suffer from gains and losses, and he began to give up on himself in the past two years.

He had fun with the little people beside him all day long, and rarely asked about his wife's family, and the crown princess and his two sons were reprimanded by him more than once for no reason.

The two sons trembled when they saw him, and father and son rarely saw each other.

Today, Li Chengqian took the initiative to find his two sons to have dinner together, which is really rare.

After a while, the nanny brought Li Xiang and Li Ju, and the little brothers saluted Yang Zhou and said hello, calling them "Father".

Yang Zhou was stunned for a moment, he was not Li Chengqian, he had never been a father.

Looking at the two little Zhengtai, who were trembling in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble.

secretly thought: My soul can't fly out of this body, and everything in this body can only be borne down, from now on, I am Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at his two lovely sons, smiled, and beckoned, "Have you washed your hands clean, come over and eat." ”

Li Xiang was a little more sensible, and when he saw Li Chengqian beckoning, although he was afraid, he slowly moved forward.

Li Ju was too young to go over, his mouth pouted and he was about to cry, and he looked at the crown princess with blank eyes.

Today, Li Chengqian suddenly changed his sex, and the crown princess was already shocked and speechless.

Li Chengqian looked playful and said to Li Xiang: "Xiang'er takes his younger brother." ”

Li Xiang turned around and took Li Ju by the hand, and slowly moved to Li Chengqian's table. Li Chengqian asked the two brothers to sit at the table and eat soup cakes together.

Li Chengqian has always had something in his heart, so he stopped after a few bites, and watched his two sons eat while thinking about things.

"Get them some fruit, just eat some mutton soup cakes that are too greasy, and let them put more greens next time." Li Chengqian lightly ordered, and someone below naturally did it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's time to burn paper for your heart." A chamberlain came in and replied.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was speechless for a while.

After being beaten to death by Li Shimin, the original Li Chengqian did not know whether he was alive or dead, set up a tablet for him in the East Palace, and personally went to pay tribute every day, which directly made internal and external officials seriously disappointed in him.

The current Li Chengqian will definitely not sacrifice his predecessor's dead man.

Li Chengqian wanted them to dismantle it directly, but it was not easy to think about it, and the original Li Chengqian might be with him.

He said lightly to the chamberlain: "It is not suitable to keep his tablet in the East Palace, you can give it to him." ”

Coming in from the chamberlain, the crown princess's heart lifted. At first, when I saw Li Chengqian hesitating, I was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.

Hearing Li Chengqian's order to dismantle the spiritual seat that satisfies his heart, he couldn't hold back his crying anymore.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, and said to the palace maid next to her: "Wait for the crown princess to rest." ”

Sending away the crown princess, Li Chengqian looked at the two little Zhengtai in front of him, smiled and asked, "What are you doing today?"

Li Xiang said: "Back to my father, the child is going to study in Hongwen Hall." ”

Hongwen Hall is the place where the princes and grandchildren study, in the south of the Taiji Palace, there are Menxia Province, History Museum, Hongwen Hall and Hanlin Academy.

Watching Li Xiang speak with a blanket look, Li Chengqian reached out and touched his head, and said, "We don't have to be so serious, we don't have to be so serious today, we won't go to stay at home with our father, let's take your younger brother to Chongxian Hall to play." ”

"Father, let's go to Chongxian Pavilion to play, if Master Kong and Master Zhang see it, and we have to advise my father, maybe we will go to the emperor's grandfather." Li Xiang was a little scared.

Li Chengqian knew what Li Xiang said, and Li Shimin found three gentlemen for Li Chengqian, all of whom were extremely controlling people, and they were thinking about how to crush and crush Li Chengqian and recreate it all day long.

The original Li Chengqian hated them so much that he even sent assassins to assassinate Zhang Xuansu.

Now Li Chengqian also knows that there are these few people, and no matter what he does, they will say that it is a bad thing.

Therefore, Li Chengqian was ready to expel these gentlemen from the East Palace as soon as possible.

Li Chengqian picked up Li Ju with one hand and led Li Xiang with the other, and limped out of the Lizheng Hall.

"There is a father, and the elephant does not need to be afraid of them."

Because Li Chengqian had a foot disease, Li Xiang was also young, and the group stopped for a quarter of an hour before coming to Chongxian Hall.

Chongxian Hall was built on the edge of the Chongwen Palace, which was the place where the East Palace collected books, and it was also the place where Li Shimin prepared for Li Chengqian to recruit literary scholars.

When Chongxian Hall arrived at Tang Gaozong, in order to avoid the suspicion of the crown prince Li Xian, it was changed to Chongwen Hall.

In the past, Li Chengqian rarely came here, and the scholars of literature recruited here were not very knowledgeable, so he could only do some work of sorting out and transcribing every day.

Today, it is the first time that the crown prince and the two imperial grandsons have entered the Chongxian Pavilion at the same time.

Several Chongxian Pavilion scholars hurriedly came out to greet them.

Li Chengqian looked at them and said with a smile: "What are you doing?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm studying." A straight bachelor replied.

"Okay, good reading! Xiang'er, you have also read "Mao's Poems", do you have anything you don't understand?"

Li Chengqian found a place to sit down.

Looking at Li Xiang's unknown appearance, he knew that Li Xiang had just started studying, and he couldn't ask questions for a while.

"Then the father will test you, there are just these gentlemen here, and if there is something wrong, please ask them to explain your doubts." Li Chengqian said with interest.

Li Chengqian motioned for a few straight bachelors to sit down. Li Xiang's crisp endorsement sound sounded in the Chongxian Pavilion, and when Li Xiang finished reciting a piece of "Guan Sui", he talked about Mr.'s explanation.

Li Chengqian listened to his explanation of the middle distance and asked, "What does Xiang'er have of understanding of this poem?"

Li Xiang couldn't say a word, and Li Chengqian sighed in his heart.

"Take a copy of the Analects." He motioned to the scribe to hand the Analects to Li Xiang.

The Analects was not a compulsory reading in the Tang Dynasty, and the Four Books were not mentioned to an extremely important position until the Song Dynasty, and the Tang people gave priority to the study of the Five Classics.

Li Chengqian had read some of Zhu Zi's four books in his previous life, and when he came to Chongxian Hall today, he wanted to change Li Chengqian's image in the past, so he naturally wanted to show off.

"Found as a 'political chapter', there is a paragraph: Zi said: If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die.

This means that after studying the article, I must be able to think, and I must learn when I encounter things that I can't figure out, and I must memorize them. ”

Li Xiang nodded hurriedly, and several other straight scholars also bowed their hands and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is high." ”

These people all had doubts in their hearts, they used to know that Li Chengqian played and frolicked all day long, and he didn't care much about his wife and concubines, so how could he act like a loving father today?

"Where, a few of them are smiling." Li Chengqian said modestly.

Seeing that there was paper and pen on the table, he picked up the pen casually, wrote a few lines and handed it to Li Xiangdao: "When you go back to school, tell your husband, don't go to "Mao's Poems" first, and tell you "The Analects" first." ”

At this time, an attendant brought a plate of oranges, and Li Chengqian took two and signaled to distribute the rest to a few straight bachelors.

After Li Xiang respectfully saluted Li Chengqian, he looked down at a poem written on the paper with iron and silver hooks, and couldn't help but read it out loud.

The ancients were unrelenting in their learning,

Young and strong kung fu is old.

On paper, I finally feel shallow,

I don't know how to do it.

This is a poem written by Lu You of the Song Dynasty to his son, and Li Chengqian wrote it to Li Xiang.
