Chapter 119: Sketch
Chang'an Taiji Palace, the flowers outside the palace have been budding and fragrant, but its owner has no chance to stop.
After leading the troops back, Li Shimin was very busy.
The mobilization and training of the army is never a trivial matter.
To train, the demand for food naturally increases.
The increase in the demand for money and food will test the ability of the imperial court to govern.
Although the world is decided, there is still no shortage of wait-and-see in the Quartet. The old forces are dormant.
As an emperor, a serious emperor, he must understand the major events in the world through the twists and turns of hundreds of officials, so he has to spend a lot of time buried in the imperial case.
After the leader returned, the accumulated twists and turns, dealt with in the last few days, finally disappeared by half.
However, there are always new twists and turns......
Li Shimin is most annoyed by those officials who have nothing to do and write folds to come in and pursue a sense of existence, but unfortunately, there are many such twists and turns to deal with every day, and he often throws them aside after a glance.
Li Shimin was busy reviewing the recitals, and when he was leading the troops, the important recitals would be sent to his place, but there were still many ordinary recitals that would not be sent.
Among them, there is no shortage of floods and droughts in various places.
Datang has never been in a state of peace for the whole country.
There are always various holes that need to be filled.
He was outside, but he didn't have so much time to review carefully, but fortunately, there were Wei Zheng and others who could help him manage the government.
However, all emperors know that the emperor must personally grasp these messages, otherwise, your power will be divided.
The eunuch changed the lamp and candle, Li Shimin raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief, seeing the moonlight shining in, he knew that it was already late.
Li Shimin is a military general, all-round talent, for a person who can move, sitting for a long time is a toss. He felt like his whole body was going to stiffen.
Dropping the pen, he stood up and moved his body.
"What time is it?"
"It's time for Xin. It's time for Your Majesty to rest. ”
"Let's go back again!"
Where the emperor is, anyone who wants to walk in must obtain the emperor's consent.
Outside the door came a notice of the Queen's visit.
"The queen is here, let her in."
According to the rules of the emperor's house, there was another shout.
The queen walked in with the palace maid, the palace maid did not enter the palace, she used a red lacquer plate in her hand, and served a chrysanthemum pattern dragon bowl, the queen from the lacquer plate, the chrysanthemum pattern dragon bowl was served, and the palace maid retreated.
Walked to the emperor with the bowl, tidied up a place on the table, put down the chrysanthemum dragon cover bowl, lifted the bowl lid, picked up the silver spoon and said:
"I know that Your Majesty is still staying up late and working hard, I helped Your Majesty boil a bowl of wolfberry lotus seed soup, drink a bowl of soup first, warm up, and then continue to work hard!"
Although half of spring has passed, the weather is still hot and cold before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the weather is obviously cool this night.
Li Shimin picked up the hot and sweet soup, dropped the silver spoon, and drank it in one gulp.
"Alas, the soup is still hot, you drink it like this, be careful of it."
For the emperor, the empress represented a family affair. Although the emperor must be busy with state affairs, there is no way to ignore family affairs, especially since he now has a crown prince, and the prince is in the growth period.
Seeing Empress Changsun, he suddenly thought of a few children, and after drinking the hot soup, he put the chrysanthemum pattern dragon bowl aside and asked:
"How many kids are alright?"
Li Shimin's eldest child is only 11 years old, and the children are in the plastic period.
"Our new teacher, it seems that there are some means.
Xing'er's body has not always been very weak, when she was studying at Fan Jingjing's side, Fan Jingjing seemed to give her some warm soup to drink, but her body was much better. ”
"Xing'er?"
Li Shimin has too many sons and daughters, and for a while, he can't remember who Li Xing is......
"Your second daughter, her mother has died, and you have forgotten about them."
"I haven't forgotten, but I haven't remembered it for a while.
Because she is physically weak, she has never appeared in front of me since she was a child, and it is easy to accidentally forget her.
Not having a mother is also a troublesome thing.
Since those soups are effective, the queen and Fan Jingjing asked the prescriptions for those soups to come back and let her replenish her body. ”
In order to make up for it, Li Shimin hurriedly gave instructions with care.
"I've been asking for it a long time ago. That's soup, not medicine. She said that Li Xing is suitable for drinking warm boiled water, not cold water. Exercise more, and the love of your parents.
This means that you, as a father, have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a father......"
Empress Eldest Sun sighed, the emperor's family is very large, and there are many children alone. It's just that the emperor himself is very busy, and even the crown prince has not had the opportunity to see the emperor a few times, let alone other daughters.
Fortunately, the children she gave birth to can get more love.
"Huh? Am I not busy...... I did neglect my responsibilities a little, but I have so many children that I don't have time to look at them one by one. ”
Li Shimin spread his hands and couldn't do anything.
She said that you don't need to accompany them alone, ten days and half a month, gather everyone and have fun together for a few hours, and even you don't have to have fun with everyone, you can do business next to you.
The most important thing is to be with parents and children, so that they can experience warmth.
By the way, it would be best if the mother showed up at the same time. ”
The last point added by Empress Eldest Sun gave Li Shimin a headache.
He said he had no opinion on spending some time with his son and daughter, but he felt a little headache to gather these women in the harem together.
When a woman is separated, it is lovely, but when a woman gets together, she will fight all kinds of things, which will cause headaches.
Li Shimin doesn't know what kind of thoughts these flamboyant women have, and when these women are together, in addition to competing for beauty, they are intrigued.
When the women look alone, each is as soft as water, but when they gather together, it seems that he is no longer important as a man, and they must pour out a result in order to be qualified to be by his man's side.
Of course, the queen has a part of the right to avoid fighting, and according to the provisions of the Tang Dynasty law, Li Shimin must spend part of the time with the queen.
Of course, Li Shimin had a good relationship with Empress Changsun, so she stayed with Empress for more than the time stipulated by the palace law.
By the side of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin can feel the affection of his family, which is the most comfortable moment for his body and mind, and when he goes to find other women, he enjoys a kind of "entertainment" on women.
It was a complicated feeling, and everyone was trying their best to provoke the emperor's curiosity and goodwill, and wanted the emperor to stay by his side for a little more time.
However, unless he has children, Li Shimin is always easy to forget about women.
His love for his children is most likely biased because of his mother's relationship.
As for the child without a mother, he often forgets about it accidentally.
His eldest daughter and second daughter are in this situation, after all, without their mother talking by their side, Li Shimin will not know their situation.
There are only those who will mention them, but there are not many opportunities for Empress Changsun to mention them in particular.
After all, Li Shimin still cares about the condition of his children.
"How are they doing now?"
"When Cheng Qian is not in class in the East Palace, he often runs to her......
Since you demanded that the cadre be given a moderate amount of freedom to understand the people's livelihood and suffering, I did not exercise too much control. ”
The question of the crown prince is considered a major problem, so Li Shimin cheered up and asked Li Chengqian about his condition.
"The other children are younger and not learning as fast as they can do, but lately, they seem to be learning to write and do math. The rest of the time continues to design their house. Learning this, it doesn't matter if Cheng Qian is by their side.
I think the design of their house was actually influenced by her, and if they had designed it themselves, it wouldn't be like this. It should be more like the appearance of Tai Chi Palace.
More or less the style of our sons and daughters has been added.
I've had someone sketch a copy, and you'll have time to look at it. ”
"Send me one!"
"Okay, I'll have someone go back and get it."
Empress Changsun didn't stay in the palace for too long, and Li Shimin drank the soup and went back.
Tai Chi Palace is divided into two worlds.
In the world inside, Empress Changsun can dominate, but in the world outside, Empress Changsun can't even interfere with a finger.
This is where Li Shimin handles government affairs, and it is another world for Empress Changsun.
After the design drawings drawn by the prince and the princess were delivered, Li Shimin spread them out and looked at them.
"The lines are pretty simple, but they look the same."
There are several plans, in addition to the floor plan, there are also three-dimensional plans of each house, and the specific structure of each place is clearly stated.
"It would be nice if the Ministry of Industry could draw so concisely and clearly when drawing, but most of the craftsmen don't know how to draw, and the designs of various halls are in their minds, and at most they will make models for me to see.
The houses are simple and straightforward, except that the walls are made of cement...... What is cement?
It seems that Fan Jingjing can surprise us. ”
Li Shimin is satisfied not only with the design of the whole house at a glance, but he can even imagine what the whole house will look like when it is completed.
The design of the entire school was also refreshing to him.
"Playground? Blackboard? Does reading also require exercise? What is the purpose of a chalkboard?
Do you have to put one on each room?
Behind the teacher who is still in class......
Then again, what are you doing with so many classrooms?
Do you want someone else to teach and someone else to teach? ”
In fact, the school designed by Fan Jingjing to guide the royal children is similar to the schools of later generations, in addition to the general classrooms, there are also many specialties, that is, the specialized classrooms are specially equipped with some special equipment, and these special equipment can only be used in one subject, but it is very troublesome to move around.
In addition to classrooms, there are many play spaces, many toilets are designed, and running water is used, that is, water is used to flow down.
Of course, in addition to the playground, there is no shortage of small bridges and flowing water in the garden, and during this period, the school attaches great importance to the atmosphere.
Anyway, the place is big, so Fan Jingjing let them mess around.
Maybe it's this place that allows them to use all their imaginations, and everyone has adopted a place to make their own world.
At that time, the difference in the talents of the prince and the princess was revealed, but no matter which one it was, it was worthy of Li Shimin's children, each of them seemed to be geniuses, but their interests were a little different, maybe the differences between these people had something to do with their mothers!
Maybe it's because there's something for them to play, so they're very attentive in class.
"This knowledge of mathematics and geometry is very useful for you to build a house, and you should study it well."
"Teacher, when you taught us to recognize words, we thought that it was very simple to recognize words, why did the previous teachers teach us to know, we all felt that we couldn't recognize it, and we didn't understand what it meant."
"I have turned them all into the vernacular, and now you don't know much about the basic text, so it will be easier to understand them if they become vernacular.
When you understand the meaning of each word, then look at what the teacher taught you before, and you will be able to understand. However, in the official language, it is still dominated by classical Chinese. ”
"The words taught by the teacher are closer to the way we speak, but they are a little more elegant than our speech. But it is very easy to understand, especially the sentence reading taught by the teacher, and it is marked directly after the text, and the article is easier to read. ”
Li Lizhen, as the eldest daughter, although she is not the oldest, has the most educational opportunities, and the eldest grandson queen will guide from time to time.
Empress Changsun herself is also a civil and military all-rounder, and she naturally has a natural advantage in educating her children.
"After understanding the meaning of each word first, and then reading classical Chinese, it will naturally be easier to understand. The so-called classical Chinese is actually written after the vernacular has been streamlined. It's just that one thing that's not good is that none of these words are read.
Remember the Ming Jing subject, which is to read the test sentences. It's a pity that no one has put a lot of effort into sorting out the sentence reading and letting everyone know. ”
"I heard that the reading point of the sentence will come to different meanings in different places, so it is very controversial. So there is a book to read, and there is no way to sort it out until now. In fact, when you copy, you will read sentences according to your own understanding. ”
"Transcribe ......"
A thought flashed through Fan Jingjing's mind, and she subconsciously asked, "Are all books copied?" ”
"That's right, when you come across a book you like, you have to borrow it and copy it, or you have to work hard to copy it when you listen to someone else's explanation.
That's why poems are so popular, because their sentences are short, they are rich in meaning, and they can be jotted down on the spot, copied down at home. Therefore, they can be widely circulated, and their words are beautiful and rich in meaning, so the literati like to write poems most in gatherings, even those who do not know words, can hear these poems catchy. ”
"The reason why these poems are so catchy is that they are composed into lyrics that can be sung, right?"
Fan Jingjing remembered that many people in later generations liked to turn them into lyrics when they memorized things, so that because of the rhythm, it was relatively simple to memorize.
I'm sorry that people in ancient Chinese can afford to memorize poems. Because of this, many people turned poems into songs and spread them widely.
