Chapter 384: Visiting in person

Time entered June, the influence of the funeral of Emperor Li Yuan, has gradually faded from the people, in addition to the white cloth hanging in front of the door, of course, do not dare to violate the ban on marriage and marriage, naturally a little less lively to see, but these, for ordinary people, there is nothing to matter, the basic joys and sorrows, everything is as usual, the shops in the east and west cities, and the previous liveliness.

At the same time, the ministers of the court and the central government also breathed a sigh of relief, feasting and drinking, naturally they didn't dare, but at least, they didn't have to be in the palace anymore to guard Li Yuan's spirit, and when they spoke, they didn't have to be serious and serious, they didn't have to smile, they occasionally showed a little smile at will, and they were not afraid of being impeached.

To tell the truth, Li Yuan is a king, high-ranking officials and magnates are ministers, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and there must be very few people who can establish sincere feelings, besides, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the courtiers who are loyal to Li Yuan, I am afraid that there are few people left in the court, as for those nobles, royal relatives, princesses and horses, etc., all year round, I have not met with the emperor a few times, how thick can the affection be?

Under the emperor's edict, the mourning full-term moon was already complaining in his heart, and when he heard that he could return, he was naturally amnesty, and he pretended to be in the palace city, and he was reluctant to go out of the palace gate, and immediately ran away like a rabbit that had escaped the trap.

Naturally, they are not at fault, nor are they cold by nature, after all, the so-called family affection is not only a blood relationship as a link, but also needs to be cared for and cultivated for a long time. Therefore, Li Shimin does not expect that everyone empathizes with him, rather than leaving them and watching these people howl without tears, it is better to send them away, and he can still be quiet.

It didn't take long for the spacious mourning hall to be empty, the white curtain was fluttering in the wind, Li Shimin knelt under the spiritual table, looking at Li Yuan's tablet, his mood was complicated, there was resentment, anger, regret, hatred, naturally, and there was also a strong sadness.

Li Shimin stayed in the mourning hall for half an hour, everyone waited silently outside the hall, no one dared to disturb, and after Li Shimin came out, he just saluted, still silent, this is the rule set by Li Shimin himself, the mourning hall, and even this palace where Li Yuan's coffin is placed, no one is allowed to make loud noises, so as not to disturb the rest of Li Yuan's soul.

Out of the mourning hall, at the corner of the corridor, there is a side hall, several ministers, just here waiting for Li Shimin's arrival, reporting on the recent accumulation of court affairs, although it is said that the prince is in charge of the country, but as long as Li Shimin does not die, sitting on the country, there is only one person in charge of the state weapon.

It is said that power makes people crazy, what kind of father and son, brother, blood and family affection, many times, it is just a joke, this truth is vividly reflected in Li Shimin, and naturally there is some prevention, so Li Chengqian just listened to the government and supervised the country, and did not have the power to mobilize the army.

The ministers of the imperial court, who are also proven fox-level figures, how could they really think that the prince was in charge of the country, so he put the emperor aside and made such a low-level mistake, under their advice, Li Shimin was helpless, and finally agreed, some small matters will be solved by the prince Li Chengqian himself, and if the major matters are discussed, the ministers will discuss, and if there is no conclusion, they will report to him.

When he came to the side hall, he listened to the minister's report on the military and political developments of the imperial court, decided on several controversial matters, and noticed that Li Shimin's mood was a little low, and the minister also sped up, reported the accumulated matters, received a positive answer, and immediately got up and retired.

"Auxiliary, stay." Li Shimin said, a little weak.

Several other ministers also got used to it, bowed and slowly retreated. The eldest grandson Wuji stopped, turned around and saluted, although he knew that it had no effect, but he still couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, the emperor is funeral...... It was providence, irreversible, and Mo was immersed in grief and damaged the dragon's body. ”

"Got it." Li Shimin was noncommittal, and asked casually: "As for the side court, is there any news coming?" ”

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, and there are naturally a lot of border courts, but the eldest grandson Wuji knows where Li Shimin is asking, and said softly: "The news came back two days ago, and it has arrived at the Tuyuhun border......

"Speed, so slow." Li Shimin frowned.

The eldest grandson Wuji explained: "In the past, it was comparable to the Turkic forces, and it could even be said that it was slightly inferior, using strange dangers and clever breakthroughs, but now, the enemy is weaker than me, so it is natural to use a dignified and upright army, fight steadily, encircle and annihilate it, and deter Xiaoxiao." ”

"Auxiliary." Li Shimin was a little surprised, and said with a slight smile: "When did you become proficient in military affairs." ”

"Your Majesty is really discerning, and the minister really doesn't have this ability." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said bluntly: "That's when the courtiers questioned it, Mao Gong's explanation. ”

"Breaking it with a righteous teacher is indeed the royal way." Li Shimin nodded and said, "I believe that Senior Brother Yao will not disappoint me." ”

"Pharmacist Li's art of war is unparalleled in the world, and his subordinates really can't think of anyone who can defeat him on the battlefield." The eldest grandson Wuji said, if it is very casual, if the narrow-minded emperor hears it, he may be suspicious in his heart.

However, Li Shimin didn't care at all, at least not now, and he didn't even have the confidence to control his subordinates, how could he be called an emperor of the ages and a generation of heroes.

So when Li Shimin heard this, he nodded approvingly and said, "I am in the palace, waiting for the good news to spread." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji echoed, and then fell silent, without him having to wait any longer, he listened to Li Shimin continue: "Cheng Qianjian Guo, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, what is your evaluation?" ”

After a deep groan, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "I know a lot about the general situation, and I can hear and judge." ”

"That's good." Li Shimin said, his tone was ordinary, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't ask, didn't say much, looked down, and his standing posture was very standard, but if his waist and abdomen were fatter, he might not be able to see the ground.

"Emperor Mausoleum, how is it going?" Li Shimin asked, who can figure out the emperor's thoughts, the former sentence is still about the son, and the latter sentence begins to care about his father's mausoleum.

His expression was a little strange, and after hesitation, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "According to Yan Lide's report, one-third of the project has been built, and in two months, the task can be successfully completed." ”

"So fast?" Li Shimin was surprised and frowned, is he perfunctory?

"The courtiers were also suspicious and decided to send officials to inspect them." The eldest grandson Wuji said, and he was also doubting in his heart, before the construction started, the estimated time would be about half a year, how could it suddenly save nearly half of the time, it was too unreasonable.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said: "Prepare for driving, I will go to inspect in person." ”

The emperor left the palace, it was a big event, and the court officials, subconsciously, expressed their opposition, but when they heard that this was going to Sanyuan County to inspect the cemetery of the Emperor Taishang, the voice of opposition gradually Li Shimin's insistence, there was no movement, and according to the will, the team ready to travel.

Carriages, palace maids, military guards, about 1,000 people, for the emperor, it can be regarded as a light car, but when the news came out of the palace, the little fat man Li Tai heard the wind and immediately ran over, his expression was gloomy, and he said that he would also follow, it is rare for his son to have this filial piety, and Li Shimin naturally has no reason not to allow it.

Subsequently, Li Ke also heard the news, some clans and the like, or had the intention of currying favor with the emperor, they all shouted to go with him, and even Li Chengqian, if he was not burdened with heavy responsibilities and stayed in Beijing to supervise the country, I am afraid he would not be able to sit still.

The team slowly expanded, breaking through the 5,000 mark, under the persuasion of Wei Zheng, Li Shimin suddenly woke up, this is not to play, thousands of people are going to the vast expanse, for the construction of the cemetery will not help in the slightest, but will get in the way, immediately wave the pen, some irrelevant people, excluded, cut down to 2,000 people.

However, it is due to the delay of this time, it is already noon, and it is not enough to go back and forth, someone proposed to set off tomorrow, but Li Shimin vetoed it, then, it is necessary to spend the night in Sanyuan County, the change of the itinerary, the items carried, naturally also changed, the palace eunuch and female official, began to be busy again to revise the plan, the emperor traveled, it was so troublesome, the emphasis was on pomp, otherwise it would not reflect the dignity of the emperor.

Everything is ready, leading a team of 3,000 people, the cavalry opened the way, mighty, starting from the Xuanwu Gate, all the way to the north, arrived at the county seat of Sanyuan, as expected, the sky is already dusk, received the official document in advance, Sanyuan County ordered Yangpu, early to lead the city's officials and gentry and people, out of thirty miles, waiting for the holy drive.

The county order, logically speaking, there is no opportunity to witness the holy face, and a random palace attendant eunuch can be dismissed, but due to the sunset, the emperor has to stay in Sanyuan County, caring about the cemetery, so he naturally wants to invite Yangpu to come and ask.

Yangpu naturally felt flattered, but he was not overjoyed, crying with joy, but with a respectful heart, he came to the mansion of a certain gentry in the county seat, which had become a new look, and bowed.

"Excuse me, sit down." Li Shimin waved his sleeves.

Yang Pu bowed again, walked to the left, on top of a group, sat cautiously, straightened his chest and waist, and did not squint.

There is no need to beat around the bush, Li Shimin asked directly: "Will be the master craftsman Yan Lide, build the Taishang Emperor Mausoleum in Tang Zhu of Longchi Township under your jurisdiction, do you know the situation?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen knows a little bit about it." Yang Pu replied respectfully, he really didn't know much, after all, it was the emperor's mausoleum that was built, and it was a relatively secret thing, so Yang Pu naturally didn't dare to know more, but according to Yan Lide's request, he did his best to provide convenience and help.

After a little consideration, Li Shimin was also relieved, understood Yangpu's concerns, and asked a few words at random, Yangpu answered fluently, but he knew that the progress of the cemetery project was indeed very fast, but as for why it was so fast, he couldn't say why.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, waved his hand gently, Yang Pu also knew about it, hurriedly saluted, bowed down, and saw Li Shimin's thoughtful appearance, Li Tai next to him proposed: "Father, this is Tang Zhu from Longchi Township?" It's not very far, so just invite Master Yan to come and find out as soon as you ask. ”

"There's no need to rush." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, I will go and watch it in person, and everything will be clear." ”
