On the tenth day of the first month of the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Li Er issued an edict to go to Mount Tai in the middle of spring next year, and seal the first mountain of the Zen Society; The rest of the matters were handled in accordance with the agreement of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan. 35xs

In February, the crown prince Li Chengqian went to the Guozijian to perform the memorial ceremony.

In the summer, in April, Li Er occasionally felt the wind and cold, suffering from the hot heat of Beijing, Li Er ordered to repair the abandoned Taihe Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, and renamed it Cuiwei Palace.

The renovation of Cuiwei Palace was completed in May, and Li Er took Li Chengqian to Cuiwei Palace.

Cuiwei Palace is one of the famous palaces of the Tang Dynasty, it is located in the south of Chang'an, at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and southeast of Qinghua Mountain.

It is located on the flat land of 047 square kilometers in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, with an altitude of 156 eight meters.

Cuiwei Palace overlooks the Guanzhong Plain and Chang'an City, its main gate to the north, the name Yunxia Palace, the court hall is the Cuiwei Palace, and the sleeping hall is the Wind Palace.

Cuiwei Palace has another prince's palace, the main gate is open to the west, named Jinhua Gate, and the palace is called Anxi Palace.

After Li Er boarded the Cuiwei Palace, he looked at the Northwest Plain and Chang'an City in the distance, and then looked at the Cuiwei Palace in which he was, and suddenly had a whim.

Li Er decided to chant a poem: "In autumn, the green ridge is condensed, and the cool blows Su leave the palace." The lotus is sparse and the cover is missing, and the tree is cold and half empty. ”

This is the autumn Cuiwei Palace written by Li Er in May of the 21st year of Zhenguan in Zhenguan, which was later included in the fiftieth poem of the first volume of "Quantang Poems".

"Good poetry! Good poetry! His Majesty's literary style is unique in the world, and this poem is extremely appropriate! As soon as Li Er's words fell, someone jumped out and slapped his ass. Flash Dance

This made Li Twenty very dissatisfied, and he hoped that his minister would be able to tell the truth to himself, instead of flattering!

Li Er ignored it, and toured all the way from outside the Cuiwei Palace to the Cuiwei Palace, and the accompanying ministers followed closely and also entered the Cuiwei Palace.

Li Er sat on the throne, the ministers sat on the left and right, and the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Jin Li Zhi sat on the left and right sides respectively.

This time to repair the Cuiwei Palace, Li Er ordered people to set up some chairs in the Cuiwei Palace, so that the ministers did not have to kneel and sit and talk to the emperor when they met the emperor.

If you sit on your knees for a long time, your legs and feet will become numb, causing the blood on your legs to be unblocked.

Of course, except for important court meetings and some solemn and solemn things, other times the ministers are allowed to change their postures, so as not to cause any problems after kneeling for a long time.

Especially when the emperor and the ministers discussed some things, there was no result for a long time, and if they kept kneeling and sitting, no matter who they were, they would not be able to stand it!

Coming to Cuiwei Palace, maybe Li Er was in a good mood, his whole face was ruddy, and he was in a lot of energy.

So Li Er chatted with these ministers, and everyone was not bound by the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, they were all very casual.

When people get older, it is easy to talk about the glorious years of the year, and they often mention their glory to others. Flash Dance

At this time, Li Er, who was already fifty years old, was no exception, and talked with the minister, starting from the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in Jinyang.

After going through the changes of Xuanwumen, ascending the throne as emperor and so on, this person is easy to recall the past when he is old.

Speaking of excitement, Li Er also stroked his palms and laughed from time to time, saying some sad things about his back then.

"I am in Rong and Di, so I can take what the ancients can't, and what the ancients can't do, they all follow the wishes of everyone."

"The people of Kyushu in the past, digging mountains and trees, dredging hundreds of rivers into the sea, their work is very hard, and the people do not complain, because of the hearts of the people, the trend of the land, and the people benefit the same way." Li Er said this coldly.

Not only were the officials stunned, but even Li Chengqian and Li Zhi didn't know what to say.

Li Er didn't dwell on this, so he directly diverted the topic, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally didn't bother with this issue.

But Li Er obviously didn't intend to let it go, and after talking for a while, he returned to this kind of topic.

Li Er said: "Since ancient times, although the emperor pacified Zhongxia, he could not let Rong and Di surrender. I don't have the ability to catch the ancients and make it much greater than them, I can't say anything about this, if you have any opinions on this matter, you can tell me. ”

"Your Majesty's merits are equivalent to heaven and earth, and cannot be described in words." A minister stepped forward and said.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only deal with the past like this, and there was also flattery in his words.

The other ministers saw that Li Er was not angry, so they echoed the minister's words just now.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "This is not the case, what you said is not right, does the prince know the reason?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect that Li Er would actually turn this topic to him and forcibly pull him in, an outsider.

It's not good not to answer, Li Chengqian frowned and was thinking of countermeasures, and the ministers were waiting eagerly for the prince's answer.

"My father can do this, and my son thinks there should be five aspects." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er's eyes lit up, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "What are the five aspects of what you say?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the prince, waiting for the prince to reveal the answer.

"Since ancient times, most emperors were jealous of people who were stronger than themselves, father, you saw the advantages of others, you were like you had yourself, no one is omnipotent, but you abandoned their shortcomings and took their strengths."

"When the lord of men recruits capable people, he wants to hold them all in his arms, and if he retreats, he will push them into a ravine, and when you see a virtuous person, he will respect him, and when he meets him, he will have mercy on them, and let them take what they need."

"Since the ancients, the lord did not like the hard and upright people, the yin and the slaughter, there is no generation no, since you succeeded to the throne, the upright man, comparable to the court, has not degraded and punished a person."

"Since ancient times, they have all been noble and despiseful, but you have always loved them, so these tribes depend on you just like their parents."

"These five points are the reasons why my father was able to achieve his current achievements." Li Chengqian said.

This is what he once saw from the history books, and he still remembers that this is what Li Er said to the beginning.

"Good!" Li Er smiled and said: "What the prince said is true, it is precisely because of these five points that I can have today's achievements!" ”

Li Er looked back at Chu Suiliang and said, "You have been a historian, and the prince's evaluation of me just now is in line with historical facts?" ”

"Your Majesty's virtue is overwhelming, just based on what the prince just said, the minister thinks it's too modest!" Chu Suiliang saluted.

Whether Chu Suiliang said the truth or intentional flattery, only he knows.

Anyway, after Li Er listened to Chu Suiliang's words, he laughed and was very happy.

"Ai Qing is serious! What the prince said is a true portrayal, where does it come from any modesty, but it is just telling the truth, I hope you can tell the truth like the prince, and don't be opportunistic. Li Er said with a smile, by the way, teach these ministers how to do it.

"No!" The ministers saluted.
