It can be seen that this pavilion is not for people to live in.

In fact, the Lingyan Pavilion known to Li Yuanba in his previous life was not for people to live in, but to enshrine portraits of people who had made outstanding contributions to the Tang Dynasty under his command for Li Shimin.

To put it bluntly, it is a place to remember old friends and reminisce about the past!

Li Yuanba observed more carefully than Li Chengqian, and he walked in the direction of the wall from the main hall on the first floor, because those candles were not standing against the wall, but on some candlestick shelves, and there was still a long distance from the wall, so what was on the gray and white wall was not very clear through the dazzling candlelight.

Li Yuanba came directly to the wall, and what appeared in front of him was a life-size portrait, but among the portraits that were as tall as one person was, it was a young man wearing gold-colored soft armor.

The young man looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with well-defined and deep facial features, and although his body had not yet grown, he had a bee waist and ape back, giving people a wild and uninhibited feeling.

This is, Li Yuanba!

Li Yuanba was a little surprised, it stands to reason that among the twenty-four founding heroes enshrined in the Lingyan Pavilion, there is no Li Yuanba, but it is himself who appears in front of Li Yuanba, and if you look at the ranking, it seems that he is still the first!

Continuing to walk forward, the second portrait hanging on the wall is the appearance of a middle-aged nobleman, with a thick beard, and a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, but the distance between his eyebrows and eyes is a little farther, giving people an indifferent attitude, this person is the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson's own brother, the eldest grandson Wuji.

Further down, there is Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and Du Ruhui, the prince of Cai Guo...... In this position, except for Li Yuanba, the founding princes of Yishui are all civil and military generals who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

And what amazed Li Yuanba the most was. The size of these portraits is no different from that of real people, as if they were sketches that Li Yuanba knew in his previous life, vivid, and naturally with a sense of majesty.

Just like when he first entered this pavilion, Li Yuanba only felt that the atmosphere in the pavilion was full of solemnity, but the people in this portrait were not the same. They are all different, each with a different temperament, and each portrait represents a legend.

"Whew!" Spit out a breath of turbidity, Li Yuanba returned to Li Shimin's body and said, "Brother Huang, these portraits are from Yan Liben's hand?" ”

"Oh? Where did you see that? ”

Because these portraits were all painted by Li Shimin at the request of Yan Liben, as royal objects, naturally they cannot be signed with the name and surname of the painter, and they cannot even have the secret mark of the painter.

So. Li Shimin was surprised that Li Yuanba was able to tell the person who painted.

Li Yuanba smiled and said, "Looking at our Tang Dynasty, there are such exquisite paintings, except for Yan Liben, the younger brother really can't think of anyone else!" ”

"You've got a good eye!" When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately laughed, "Not bad." These 25 paintings were made by Yan Liben, who painted these 25 portraits. It took a year and a half, but it was longer than the time I took to establish the Lingyan Pavilion! ”

"Brother Huang, you miss the old!" Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "These portraits are twenty-five of us, except for a few adults who have become ancient, all of us are on the list!" Call us here today. It's not like we're here to see ourselves, are we? ”

Li Shimin originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard Li Yuanba's words, the expression on his face suddenly suffocated, and he glared at Li Yuanba a little helplessly, before he said quietly:

"I was born in the Chengji family in Longxi. My father, Emperor Gaozu, in the Sui Rebellion thirteen years ago, rose up with righteous soldiers to attack Sui, and I followed Emperor Gaozu to raise troops and experienced the battle of Qianshuiyuan to determine Longxi; defeated Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou, recovered the lost territory of Merge and Fen; The battle of the Tiger Prison annihilated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande; Attack and kill Liu Heimin, Xu Yuanlang ......"

Li Shimin paused for a moment and continued: "It was also after the Battle of the Tiger Prison returned to Beijing that Emperor Gaozu gave me the title of Tiance General, leading Situ and Daxingtai Shangshu of Eastern Shaanxi Province, and was above the prince!" ”

When he said this, Li Shimin began to look around, and when he saw that all the courtiers were looking at him with solemn faces, he finally spoke again:

"It's this damn Admiral Tiance that makes my eldest brother and third brother start to be suspicious of me! I really want to enjoy the love of father and son, brotherhood, but how to make people, if I didn't make up my mind to start a matter back then, then none of our brothers and sisters will have a good life! ”

The more he talked about the back, the more red Li Shimin's face became, so that he didn't have to shout out of his throat almost after that:

"If I regret it, I only hate that I didn't have a good relationship with my brother and brother in the first place, and I only hate why there is only such an emperor! If I had to do it all over again, I'd rather stay in Luoyang City than never leave the city! ”

"Your Majesty, don't say that!"

Wei Zheng, who had a black face, suddenly changed his face when he heard Li Shimin's words:

"Your Majesty has been in power since his accession to the throne. Governing the appointment of talents, following the advice, improving the system, and the river is clear and Haiyan; In terms of military affairs, it conquered the four continents, destroyed the countries on the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and discovered North and South America and Oceania...... It can be said that the territory of our Datang has expanded to the whole world, and almost everywhere the sun shines is the land of our Datang! To put it mildly, such a civil and martial arts, even if it was the prince of the year, he couldn't do it! ”

"What Xuan Cheng said is extremely true!" Fang Xuanling also stood up and said, "Let's not talk about what Fang Xuancheng said. The administrative and military measures, simply by implementing the system of equalizing land and regulating rents in the economy, have greatly promoted economic development by enabling the people to stabilize production and cultivate the land sometimes. Attaching importance to agriculture and reducing the taxes and labor of the people has greatly reduced the burden on the people! ”

"Your Majesty!" Fang Du is inseparable, Fang Xuanling has stood up, Du Ruhui categorically has no reason not to come out, he said: "There is such a passage in "Xunzi Wang System Chapter": 'The people are in power, and then the gentleman is in power. It is said: 'Gentleman, boat also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water carries the boat, and the water capsizes the boat'. Your Majesty treats the people like a parent and son, why do you say such discouraged words! ”

Listening to what the three ministers said, Li Shimin's face suddenly appeared excited, and it was obvious that Li Shimin himself was quite satisfied with being so embraced.

"Brother Huang, now that we old brothers are here, we have all followed you step by step, and we know the hardships better than anyone else!" Li Yuanba felt that his emotions were almost brewing, so he said: "All we can do now is to look forward!" (To be continued.) )
