Chapter 442: The Emperor's Troubles

As for Li Shimin, he was not interested in who his father slept with and how many he slept with. Anyway, since he was forced to abdicate, he has lived a life of drunken dreams and death.

In the past two years, there have been more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters added to him, so you can imagine how many concubines and palace maids he slept with.

What Li Shimin was thinking about was what Sun Simiao had just said to him after seeing his father.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is a disease of returning to the light, and there is no cure for the medicine stone."

Sun Simiao's meaning is very clear, Emperor Taishang doesn't look at it now, it seems to be much better, but it is a return to the light, and he has no choice but to die, the emperor, you better hurry up and prepare for him for the future.

After listening to Sun Simiao's words, Li Shimin made a big thunderbolt and drove out all the palace maids and chamberlains who served.

Staying alone in the dark Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was crying and laughing.

For a while, I remembered the happy time when I was a child around my father's knees and played with my brother and brother, and for a while, I remembered my father's anger when he listened to his eldest brother's words and scattered all his subordinates.

For a while, I thought of the sadness and despair on my father's face when I went to see my father after the Xuanwumen Change, and then I thought of the fact that after the Turks were destroyed, when my father came to participate in the congratulatory banquet, the father and son danced hand in hand.

Li Shimin had mixed feelings, laughed and cried, and let out a long sigh until he was silent and speechless.

In May, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, died of illness in the Vertical Arch Palace.

The emperor made a big trip, the whole country mourned, and the court meeting was suspended for a few days. At this time when the Tang Dynasty was sad or not, the envoy of Tubo arrived.

This is really not the right time, so the audience of the Tibetan envoy was sent to Honglu Temple, but it was detained by the people below before it was brought to Wu Yuanqing.

Reply to the Tibetan envoy in one sentence, everything is waiting, when the funeral is over, when to go to the table again.

In addition to the necessary government affairs, the rest are busy for the aftermath of the emperor.

The first thing to do is to repair the mausoleum.

After all, Li Shimin and Li Yuan's father and son are newly established and newly appointed emperors, and they are inexperienced, and Li Yuan was forced to abdicate, and he has always been in good health, so neither Li Yuan nor Li Shimin thought about when Li Yuan would hang up, so this mausoleum has not been repaired.

Li Yuan was seriously ill during the Chinese New Year and didn't think about this stubble.

It wasn't until Sun Simiao and Sun Da Divine Doctor told the emperor that Li Shimin wanted to prepare for the aftermath of the Emperor Taishang, that Li Shimin asked people to prepare to choose a feng shui treasure to repair the mausoleum for his father.

As a result, just like the Yong'an Palace, a summer palace built for Li Yuan last autumn, before it was repaired, Li Yuan and his family went west.

When a person dies, the tomb is not repaired, and this should be put in the ordinary people's house, it is easy to say, stop the coffin for a few days, and the tomb will be repaired.

But Li Yuan is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ear-like person, he is a special person to the extreme, he is the emperor and the emperor.

After his death, he lived in a mausoleum that was not called a tomb, how could he dig a pit like an ordinary person, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five, uh, no, this is a spell for small varieties of money.

In short, the construction of the place where Li Yuan was buried after his death is quite a troublesome thing, and it is normal to say that the mausoleum where the emperor sleeps after his death will take years, more than ten years, and decades to build it before his death, and he can live comfortably and comfortably after his death.

Just like Qin Shi Huang's terracotta warriors, that thing can't be made for more than ten years. If he only cultivates after his death, Daqin will not be able to repair it if it is destroyed, and then he will be crushed by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, two rebels.

Li Yuan is also the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the current emperor Li Shimin is his son, how can this mausoleum not be simple, otherwise it will not only not conform to Li Yuan's identity, but also lose Li Shimin's face.

Therefore, Li Shimin issued an edict: "The mountain mausoleum is based on the story of the Han Changling Mausoleum, and it is important to preserve the truth"

Li Shimin said, my father's mausoleum is not required to be good, just follow the Changling of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and be sure to repair it solemnly worthy of my father's identity.

Han Gaozu Liu Bang Changling, in Chang'an 35 miles away, on the Xianyang Plain in the north of Weishui, sit in the north and face south, the south is the endless Weishui, the north is the majestic and magnificent Jiuzhi Mountain, the Qinchuan old road passes through the plain. The Changling Tomb of the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info is located in the south of the Xianyang Plain, condescending, mighty and magnificent, showing the dignity of the founding king of the Han Dynasty.

It is reasonable for Li Shimin to ask according to this cultivation, Liu Bang is the founding emperor, and so is his father Li Yuan, and there is nothing wrong with people with equal status living in similar mausoleums.

But the ministers stopped hearing this, the project was so demanding, and the deadline was very urgent, so it couldn't be completed at all.

Yu Shinan, the secretary and supervisor, said in the book: "The saint buries his relatives thinly, not unfilial, thoughtful and far-sighted, and takes the thick burial as the burden of his relatives, so he is not ear." In the past, Zhang Shi said: 'There is something to be desired, although there is still a gap in Nanshan.' Liu Xiangyan: "The dead have no end and the country has a ruined revival, and the words of interpretation are endless." “

After giving two examples, Yu Shinan concluded: "His words are profound and sincere. His Majesty Fu Wei is more virtuous than Tang and Yu, and the thick burial of his relatives is based on Qin and Han, and his majesty does not take the theft of ministers. Although there is no gold and jade in the future, the future generations will see that the hills and ridges are so big, and they know that there is no gold and jade evil in them! And now the release has been based on the Baling, and the system of the hills and ridges is based on the Changling, which may not be appropriate. Fu Yuan according to the "White Tiger Pass" for the tomb of the three thousands, the utensils system, the rate is all frugal, still carved next to the tomb of the stone, another book a pass, the temple of the Tibetan sect, used as a permanent law for the descendants. ”

However, there was no news of Yu Shinan's recital, Li Shimin didn't know if he didn't read it, or if he didn't agree with it, anyway, there was no follow-up.

So, Yu Shinan wrote again: ""The son of Han Tianzi ascended the throne and camped the mountain mausoleum, and the distant one was more than 50 years; Now, in a few months, it will take decades, and I am afraid that there will be a shortage of manpower. ”

This time I got a reply to the book, no way, Li Shimin didn't care about the previous words, after all, he was the emperor, he was rich, and a little more generous for his father's funeral was also what a son of man should do.

But the time is in a hurry, and the construction period can't be caught up is an unavoidable fact, even if it is the emperor, there is nothing to do about this.

After the emperor of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he began to build the mausoleum, and the long one even lasted for more than 50 years. Now you freeze the Emperor Taishang with Tibetan ice to keep the body from decaying, and then you want to build a mausoleum that others can repair in a few months, which is completely out of the way of manpower.

Yu Shinan's words made Li Shimin recognize the reality, and he had no choice but to hand over the points mentioned in Yu Shinan's recital to the relevant departments of the mausoleum to discuss the way to discuss the matter.

Later, Fang Xuanling and others also wrote to discuss: "The Han Changling Tomb is nine zhang high, the original tomb is six zhang high, and the current nine zhang is too lofty, and the three are too humble, please follow the system of the original tomb."

Fang Xuanling and these people proposed to build a mausoleum for Li Yuan according to the original mausoleum of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Li Shimin finally approved the plan after thinking about it again.
