Chapter 385: Digging a Pit

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor's car drove and set off again, and the officials and gentry of Sanyuan County were really relieved, the arrival of the Son of Heaven was indeed a very glorious thing, but there was also a lot of pressure, lest something go wrong and cause a catastrophe, then I wanted to cry without tears.

As for the things that disturb the people, there is no need to worry, the emperor travels on business, is responsible for reception, and pays for the money, it is definitely not the local county government, but the palace in the palace to prepare their own money and food, this kind of behavior, although it is also the people's fat and people's ointment left hand for right hand, but it is also worthy of imitation by future generations, at least the account books look much better.

This time to receive the emperor, the biggest benefit, is the gentry who provides accommodation, the Son of Heaven is coming, that is already a great glory, and Li Shimin is not a mediocre monarch, even if he feels that everything in the world is his own, and the gentry receive themselves for free, there is nothing wrong, but when he leaves, he still inertly orders his close ministers, and there are many rewards.

Fragments of gold and silver, and some high-quality colored silk brocade silk, these can be described as royal tribute, ordinary people are not qualified to use, the good luck of the gentry, is not ready to use, or sell, but treasure and enshrine, from time to time to show off, envy and hatred......

Tangzhu Village is located fifteen miles east of Sanyuan County, not far away, just a flash, there, Yan Lide and others, have been waiting for a long time, in fact, as early as yesterday, Yan Lide received the news of the emperor's coming, but without Li Shimin's summons, Yan Lide also somewhat understood the emperor's temperament, and did not dare to rush to the audience, so as not to be self-defeating.

As long as the entrusted things are done properly and beautifully, small etiquette and the like, Li Shimin will not care much, and it is the same now, the mighty car stopped, and when he saw Yan Lide's sincere and frightened plea, he naturally would not blame, and the palace maid next to him lifted the chariot embroidered curtain, and Li Shimin got up and walked out.

"See Your Majesty's ......" The cry was like thunder, resounding in the sky, this kind of prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not something that three or four generations of emperors can have. Li Shimin naturally had a faint smile on his face, got out of the car, and Yan Lide walked up quickly to salute again.

Li Shimin supported him with his empty hands and said sincerely: "Yan Qing has worked hard. ”

Yan Lide is not a courtier, otherwise at this time, he must have been moved by his loyalty, for the sake of my emperor, he went up to the sword mountain, went down to the sea of fire, and so on, and so on, but unfortunately, Yan Lide did not have this kind of awareness, but said without being arrogant or humble: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, is a matter of course." ”

Behind these words, there is naturally no problem, but in front of Li Shimin, it is a little harsh, and it will inevitably make people think that if there is no official Lu, and it is not that the emperor is not a bird, but in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no way out for the ministers, so Yan Lide responded like this, ordinary, changed other officials, and most of them answered like this, Li Shimin didn't care, how many anti-ear advice were listened to, and he still cared about the harsh words.

Of course, Yan Lide is not the kind of upright minister who doesn't know how to lift, he replied two sentences, and immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty has come from afar, and you should be a little tired all the way, please go to the camp and sit for a while, and Rong Chen will report on the construction of the cemetery." ”

This is the purpose of this trip, Li Shimin naturally has no opinion, surrounded by Yan Lide and others, went straight to the camp, just now the convoy stopped, but the military guards who came with the car, did not stop moving, but logically, took over the safety and vigilance work of the camp, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, extremely strict.

In a month's time, the camp has changed its appearance, hundreds of tents are undulating, staggered, orderly, the ground is obviously swept by sprinkling, naturally not as good as the imperial palace, spotless, but relative to the people's villages, it is very clean, Li Shimin and others saw it, only thought that Yan Lide did it deliberately, and secretly praised his heart as meticulous.

Li Shimin is the emperor immediately, so he naturally knows that the spoils and chaos in the military camp are simply unbearable to look back on, when the army marched and fought, the war was raging, and he was not in the mood to scruple too much, but in recent years, in the magnificent palace, I am afraid that I can't get used to those hard days.

Otherwise, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Li Shimin could ride a single horse, gallop in front of the Turkic coalition army, make righteous and stern accusations, and then leave calmly, this kind of heroism is naturally still there now, but now, coming to Sanyuan County, a journey of one or two hours, but to delay the preparations, to make a huge pomp, this is the only way to come, if it was before, I am afraid it will not be so troublesome, directly lead a hundred horsemen, fast horses, go straight here, back and forth, more than enough.

It can be seen that people will always change, especially the emperor, who lives a self-respecting life, but can still maintain his heart, throughout the ages, only a handful...... can't count, mainly because you can't find it, naturally you can't count it, and it's also a helpless thing.

The camp was very quiet, knowing that the emperor was coming, the officials had already cleared out all the idle people, and the guards who came with them did not stay, and they also carefully checked and checked again and again, and made sure that they were safe and reliable.

After a while, Li Shimin went to the central main tent and sat down, and the accompanying officials and nobles were very conscious, according to the size of their status, on both sides, kneeling and waiting. After sitting down, Li Shimin opened his mouth and praised him: "Yan Qing, presiding over the construction of the Emperor's Mausoleum can be described as a ...... of hard work."

"Don't dare, share worries for Your Majesty, that's the duty of your subordinates, and it's not a merit." Yan Lide hurriedly shirked

The more Yan Lide shirked, the more Li Shimin praised him, until Yan Lide was confused and uneasy, and then he cut to the point.

"It is rumored that Yan Qing is working day and night, hard work, and the construction of the cemetery is going smoothly, maybe he will complete the task ahead of schedule, but I don't know, is it true?" Li Shimin said that it was in a hypothetical tone that Yan Lide could calmly advance and retreat.

However, Yan Lide did not comprehend Li Shimin's kindness, and was a little excited when he heard this, and said happily: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's estimate, in two months, the cemetery can be built......

"Yan Qing." Li Shimin frowned, interrupted and said: "If I am not mistaken, the construction of the cemetery has only been more than a month, why is it so fast." There was no anger or displeasure, but there was a deep sense of suspicion.

At this time, Yan Lide suddenly realized, no wonder the emperor suddenly came to inspect, it turned out that he didn't believe that this matter was true, or suspected that when he built the cemetery, he cut corners and perfunctory, although the Qing person was self-purifying, but the emperor asked, always to defend himself, Yan Lide hurriedly came out of the queue, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister has no lies, dare to ask Your Majesty to move to wait and see, you will know the truth or falsehood." ”

"That's what I mean." Li Shimin said, and he also believed in his heart that Yan Lide would not deceive himself with this kind of lie that could be broken at the first poke, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, and it is clear whether it is true or false.

The place where the cemetery was built is not far from the camp, and on the hillside, you can see it directly, at this time, the people and craftsmen naturally work there, digging mud and transporting soil, and moving wood and stones, busy and very hard. With the dignity of the Son of Heaven, naturally he can't go directly, and clearing the field is an inevitable thing, but the people and craftsmen can rest for a while, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Of course, the emperor can't be allowed to wait in vain, naturally, Li Chunfeng walked out, saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, please look, the mountains are undulating, shaped like a coiling dragon, and the dragon's head is here, spitting out a steady stream of dragon breath......"

"The dragon's breath that Li Taishi said is none other than this frustration." Li Tai said at the right time.

Li Chunfeng swept the color of approval, nodded lightly, and said without minding flattery: "His Royal Highness King Yue is erudite and talented, and his subordinates admire him." ”

"Hehe, Li Changshi has made it clear that Xiao Wang can't turn a blind eye." Li Tai said, showing a modest demeanor, and then retreated, his eyes were shining, and he saw that Li Shimin seemed to have appreciation, and his heart was even happier.

Li Ke stepped forward, pointed to the front, the place where the cemetery was built, and asked curiously: "Li Taishi, this place doesn't seem to be in the dragon's body, but it is an auspicious place for feng shui, I don't know what allusions there are?" ”

It's not that Li Ke is proficient in the art of feng shui, but he understands very well that if it is not an auspicious place for feng shui, who would dare to propose to build a cemetery here, but Li Ke's words are a bit of a feeling of scratching the itch, when it comes to professional things, Li Chunfeng is full of energy, and said with a light smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is so perceptive......"

Subsequently, there are a lot of feng shui terms, what mountains surround, dragon breath reverberates, condensed into beads, clouds come and go, people half-understand, sigh Feng Shui is broad and profound, but also deeply believe it, believe it.

Of course, it's not what Li Chunfeng said, it's what, the matter of selecting the auspicious acupoint must go through a group of feng shui onmyoji, monks and Taoists, etc., repeatedly discuss and study, and come up with a unified opinion, before daring to build a cemetery here, so Li Shimin already knows the terms in Li Chunfeng's mouth, and now it is just a confirmation, but he doesn't feel bored.

In two quarters of an hour, under the arrangement of the officials, the people and craftsmen withdrew from the construction site in an orderly manner, and after hundreds of military guards went to check again and again, they did not find any danger, and guarded on the spot, waving flags. Li Chunfeng also saw the signal, but he was also interested, and said: "When you are in the land of pearls, you can immediately feel the wonder, please move your majesty and ......experience it carefully."

Li Shimin was pleased, took the entourage, walked slowly, and after a while, he came to the construction site, and found the difference without looking closely. However, it was found that the difference was not the so-called feng shui dragon energy, which was magical and mysterious, but the difference in the potholes used to build the cemetery.

Because it is a mound of soil into a mausoleum, the tomb is six zhang high, but this landscape treasure land, only more than two zhang, and build a cemetery, not only dig a pit, directly bury on the line, but also build a dungeon, in order to store the burial things, in order to prevent theft, the design of the underground palace, must be very particular, dig deep pits, base with floor masonry, this is the most common way.

It's just a hole, and everyone hasn't seen it, no matter how big or deep it is, it won't cause people to be suspicious, but now, it's a little confusing.
