Chapter 101: The Imperial Palace

Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, the imperial palace of several dynasties, in order to embody the desire to unify the world and long-term stability, the building is naturally the law of heaven and earth, covering the time, place and people's ideology, the emperor is respected, hundreds of officials are served, after several expansions, it has slowly become the most magnificent and magnificent capital city in history, there is no one.

However, due to the perennial war, until the seventh year of Wude, the world is not peaceful, the financial insufficiency, and Li Yuan is also a Ming monarch, although the palace was also built during the period, but it was just a small fight on the original basis, until now, Li Shimin ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Zhenguan, opened the first few years, guarded the inside and outside, and rarely expanded the repair.

Therefore, the current Taiji Palace, although it can be called magnificent, but not poor and extravagant, Li Shimin deals with political affairs here, won the praise of a group of Confucian ministers, although it is already the respect of the emperor, but as the Son of Heaven Li Shimin, in addition to handling government affairs, do not dare to relax, there is nothing to do, just summon talented ministers, talk about the scriptures together, and discuss the way to govern the world.

Since it is to talk about the scriptures, naturally choose to be in a comfortable environment, the will of the Son of Heaven, the temple people and palace maids began to get busy, hurriedly moved the mats, served wine and cakes and other meals, and placed them on the side of the palace pool near the lake, at this time it was already autumn, the climate was getting cooler, and some winter-resistant waterfowl were gently swimming in the pool, pecking water to modify the feathers.

Suddenly, under the guidance of the temple people, the three or five ministers came together, sat down, saw the future of the Son of Heaven, and there was no taboo, and they exchanged their heads and talked happily.

"Zhuqing, what are you talking about, so cheerful."

A burly middle-aged man with a round neck and narrow sleeves, and a beautiful beard walked over.

"Your Majesty."

Several ministers bowed empty, but their attitudes were very ordinary, and they did not stand up to greet each other at all.

Li Shimin didn't mind, waved away a few palace maids next to him, knelt down in the seat, and said with a smile: "Yu Qing, what you said caused all of you to laugh and laugh." ”

Yesterday, Yu Shinan only returned to Beijing, to report to Li Shimin, today said a little to settle down at home trivial matters, heard the call, hurried, now the Son of Heaven inquired, naturally did not dare to slacken, said: "My colleagues asked me what interesting things about the southern tour, but I didn't know that the old minister was here, but he was ordered to inspect the local civil affairs, and he should concentrate on his duties. ”

Everyone chuckled, but they believed in his character, and did not suspect that Yu Shinan was lying, and Li Shimin frequently bowed his head, and the report on his work pointed to the various customs and customs of the inspected place, which was very detailed, not perfunctory.

"Yu Qing is guarded, and everyone knows it." Li Shimin said with a smile: "How can there be something to hide, it must be Zhu Qing's mistake." ”

"Not really." A minister shook his head and said.

"What's wrong with Chu Qing?" Li Shimin asked.

That person, is Chu Liang, a free rider, Chen, Sui, in the early Tang Dynasty for the Qin Wangfu, Hongwen Pavilion bachelor, the name may be unfamiliar, but when it comes to his son Chu Suiliang, everyone should be more impressed, of course, at this time, Chu Suiliang's reputation is not obvious, inside and outside the court, only know that he is the son of Chu Liang.

You must know that Chu Liang is called the eighteenth bachelor along with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Shinan and others after all, who dares to underestimate it, and now he has something to say, and he has paid attention to it.

"If you want to say that Yu Boshi was negligent and negligent in his duties, the minister naturally doesn't believe it, but if you say that the road is full of official business, colleagues, who believes it?" Chu Liang leaned over and asked with a smile, and everyone shook their heads.

"Good Chu Ximing, the old man asked himself if he has no old grudge against you, why should he target him." Yu Shinan said dissatisfied.

"Who said no." Chu Liang said with a smile: "Some time ago, I just asked for a few calligraphy and paintings, but someone closed the door to see off the guest and refused to see him, Jian Zhi should know who that person is." ”

Yao Silian, one of the eighteen bachelors, stroked his beard, smiled without saying anything, and was not fooled.

Chu Liang was disappointed, and turned his head and shouted: "Chongyuan, you are the most sincere, fair words, whether Bo Shi has something to hide." ”

Kong Yingda, the word Chongyuan, a descendant of the Confucian saint in Qufu, has a profound family education, profound Confucianism skills, Sui Confucianism gathered in Luoyang, Kong Yingda emerged with outstanding knowledge, some people were jealous because of his fame in one fell swoop, and even sent an assassin to kill him, fortunately spared.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Kong Yingda went to Tang for the bachelor of the Qin Palace, and is now the son of the country, famous for his scriptures, his surname is upright, he disdains and will not use lies to deceive people, when asked, Kong Yingda immediately sat upright and chuckled: "Ushering in the send-off, it is also human etiquette, not a deception." ”

"Haha, that's it." Chu Liang said with a smile: "The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are here, and they are also ordered by the Son of Heaven to inspect the political situation and people's customs, how dare local officials be lazy, the dust washing banquet and the feast are indispensable." ”

"You're right." Yu Shinan shook his head helplessly.

Next to him, Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said: "Chu Qing, you are really wrong to blame Yu Qing, yesterday I said that I reported on my work, Yu Qing also mentioned this matter to me, and advised me, in the future, when Beijing officials travel, they can treat each other as ordinary people, and they are not allowed to have luxurious banquets. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and praised the Son of Heaven's sage, which was the blessing of the imperial court, in fact, they also knew in their hearts that when the decree was issued, the local officials may not implement the order, but the important thing is the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

"I have been discussing politics with courtiers for a long time, and now I just want to drink and write poems with the princes, not talk about state affairs." Li Shimin smiled, raised his glass, took a sip of mellow wine, and asked, "Do you have any new works recently?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, every time they said that they were working hard for the country and busy with political affairs, where did they come from to write poems.

Sighing lightly, as if he was a little disappointed, Li Shimin's eyes swept slightly, and he suddenly said: "Yu Qing's trip, although it is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, but when the banquet is held, there is no entertainment?" ”

"The old minister is ashamed." Yu Shinan bowed his hand and sighed: "Jianghuai talents and sages are like clouds, articles and poems, far better than the old ministers, when the banquet is held, I have something to gain, but I dare not offer ugliness in person." ”

How could everyone believe that Yu Shinan was deprecating himself in order to elevate the status of Jianghuai Shilin, but Chu Liang, who was opposite him just now, smiled silently, because he was from Hangzhou.

A group of friends condemned one after another, and even Li Shimin laughed and sighed that Yu Shinan was in a high position, but he did not forget his native feelings.

Yu Shinan shook his head and said: "Regardless of the rest, when I returned to Beijing, the Yangzhou scholars and officials set up a banquet near the Bianhe River and the Jiangdu Palace for the old ministers. ”

"Yangzhou...... Gangdu Palace. Li Shimin's heart was awe-struck, and he hurriedly said: "I heard it in detail. ”

"Ten thousand dragon ships are green silk, and they will not be returned to Yangzhou. It should be the Heavenly Sect that opens the water, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles. Yu Shinan chanted softly: "Another cloud, the end of the Sui River is this river, and it has been thousands of miles to the end." If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit. ”

The first poem describes the Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, visiting the luxurious fleet of Yangzhou and the geography of the Grand Canal, and the poem implies the fact that the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty was killed by the general Yu Wen.

The second poem mentions the tyrannical and unscrupulous emperor in history with the legendary admired saint, which seems to be praised, but in fact it is a method to seize the old given, criticizing Yang Guang's extravagance and extravagance, and condemning it even more strongly.

It has only been a few years since the death of Sui, who can ignore the monarchs and ministers present, taste it carefully, and praise the case one after another, Li Shimin is even more solemn and dressed, thank Yu Shinan for his advice, and at the end, sigh: "Who is a poet, so knowledgeable, should be reused." ”

I hope the collection can be more, thank you.
