252. Moving the Palace

Lu Zushang's death caused many people to be uneasy in the court, although Lu Zushang went back on his word and refused to accept the post of governor of the prefecture because of the difficult conditions of his appointment, which was indeed not the moral conduct that an official should have, but he was not guilty of death.

The emperor was angry, and despite the dissuasion of the courtiers, he directly ordered him to be killed, which made people involuntarily wonder if His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Emperor Li Yuan.

This Lu Zushang is the favored minister of the Emperor Taishang, Lu Zushang was quite favored during the Gaozu period, and he had a good relationship with Li Xiaochang.

Li Xiaochang rebelled, because the implication was too wide, and in the end the emperor had to compromise, only the first evil was punished, and none of the others were implicated.

Especially those who are related to Li Xiaochang's matter, they are panicked all day long, and the Emperor Li Yuan is even more restless.

Since Li Xiaochang's incident came out, Gaozu Li Yuan has become extremely silent, he began to live in seclusion, and he will never come out to wander around blindly when he does not show up in front of hundreds of officials, after Lu Zushang was killed, the uneasiness in Li Yuan's heart became more and more intense.

The so-called heavenly family has no father and son, this is not a joke, although there is a saying that filial piety is greater than the sky, but it is only something on the surface.

Privately, in the history of the royal struggle for power, there have been countless cases of sons killing their fathers and fathers killing their sons.

Just after the third year of Zhenguan, the panicked Emperor Li Yuan summoned Pei Lin over: "Pei Lian, Erlang has been on the throne for more than two years, and everything is in order under his leadership, and I don't need to worry about anything, do you think I should give up the Taiji Palace?" ”

"This, the minister can't say much." When Pei Lin heard this, he was immediately shocked and stood up with a panicked face.

At the beginning, the Emperor Taishang agreed to His Majesty's accession to the throne, and the condition put forward was that he was used to living in Taiji Palace and did not want to move.

In order to show filial piety, the emperor gladly agreed, and now in this sensitive period, he is a courtier, and it is really difficult to say too much.

"That's it, you go down, I'll think about it again." Li Yuan looked at Pei Lin for a while, waved his hand, and Pei Lin quietly retreated.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin went to the Taimiao to worship, and on the 21st, he helped the plough on the farmland of the imperial family to worship the temple and advocate farming, hoping to encourage the people to work hard to reclaim the wasteland, expand production, and cultivate more and more.

At the end of the first month, because of the demon monk Faya's bewitching words, Li Shimin was furious, and he was sentenced to death.

Pei Lin was shocked, and hurriedly wrote a request, but the emperor ignored it, and he personally entered the palace to plead with the emperor, saying that he couldn't let go of the emperor, and asked the emperor to let him stay in Chang'an.

Li Shimin angrily reprimanded when he heard this: "Pei Lian, your merits, talents, and conduct are not enough to be qualified for the position you live in, only because the Emperor Taishang has grace to you, and the friendship is irreversible, and I can't bear to disobey my father's will, so I have allowed you to this day." ”

"But you don't think about Jun'en, and you can't be involved with demons like Faya, I think of the old feelings, I don't torture you, let you return to your hometown, and you also pull out the emperor to suppress me, what do you have on your mind?"

"Minister, panic ......" Pei Lin was shocked, hurriedly pleaded guilty, and ordered to return to Puzhou.

Pei Lian's dismissal crushed the last straw in the heart of Emperor Li Yuan, and he quickly summoned Li Shimin to the front and told him that he was willing to give up the Taiji Palace, and he would take refuge in Da'an Palace, which was the Qin Palace, where Li Shimin used to live.

Li Shimin was greatly surprised by this, but even though he was overjoyed, he hurriedly thanked his father, he has been on the throne for more than two years, but he has been living in the East Palace, which is really against the ancestral system and the law, and at the same time, it also gives people a sense of injustice and disobedience.

It's just that when he ascended the throne, he had reached an agreement with the Emperor Taishang that he would never force the Emperor Taishang to move out of the Taiji Palace, and if Li Yuan didn't take the initiative to bring it up, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

Now that the Emperor Taishang has finally figured it out, Li Shimin can no longer find a suitable language to express his mood at the moment except for thanks.

However, although he was excited in his heart, he did not show any urgency on his face.

"My son thanks his father for his kindness, but Da'an Palace has been uninhabited for more than two years, and it is obviously inappropriate for my father to move over at this time. Li Shimin forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Li Yuan with a grateful face.

"Queen, my father finally figured it out and decided to move out of Taiji Palace and move to Da'an Palace." Coming out of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin immediately came to the harem and told his wife about this happy event.

"This is a happy event, but Da'an Palace has been uninhabited for a long time, and I am afraid that it needs to be repaired." Empress Eldest Sun was stunned when she heard this, and then she was very happy for her husband, but she was afraid that her husband would be too happy, so she forgot some details, so she told her again.

She and Li Shimin, although they are the emperors of a country, but Li Shimin has been on the throne for more than two years, but they have been working in the East Palace and the Xiande Palace, and she has been living in the place where the crown princess lives.

"I know that this matter is urgent, and I will first repair the Da'an Palace to make my father's residence as comfortable as possible." Li Shimin nodded.

Next, Li Shimin was repairing and tidying up the Da'an Palace, while handling political affairs as if nothing had happened.

On the sixth day of the second month, he appointed Fang Xuanling as Shangshu's left servant and Du Ruhui as Shangshu's right servant.

At the same time, he ordered Wei Zheng, the right secretary of Shangshu, to be the secretary and supervisor, and officially participated in the government affairs.

At the end of March, the renovation of Da'an Palace was completed, and Li Yuan personally proposed to Baiguan that he thought Taiji Palace was noisy and stuffy, and the territory was too big, so he was uncomfortable to live in, so he wanted to move to Da'an Palace, which was far away from the court, to recuperate.

The courtiers pretended to persuade a few words, seeing that the emperor insisted, he no longer persuaded each other, on the fourth day of the fourth month of April in the third year of Zhenguan, the emperor Li Yuan officially moved to Da'an Palace, and on April 23, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, moved into the Jiji Palace, and officially entered the Taiji Palace.

Empress Changsun moved into the Lizheng Palace, which is located on the axis between the former dynasty and the harem, and is the largest two palaces in the backyard, one is the emperor's residence and the other is the queen's bedroom.

The other concubines were placed in palaces on the east and west sides, and the names of the palaces were mostly named after the places where they had previously lived.

On the night of the relocation, Li Shimin came to his wife's Lizheng Palace, he stood in front of the palace, looked at this magnificent palace, and only turned his eyes to accompany him out, and spoke to his wife who was standing beside him: "Queen, after establishing you for so long, today I gave you such a palace that is truly suitable for the queen to live, so that you have been wronged." ”

"Your Majesty is serious, where Your Majesty can live, what grievances do the concubines have, besides, you and I are the emperors of a country, the world does not look at where we live, but to see what we can bring for them." Empress Eldest Sun met her husband's gaze and said with a gentle face.
