On this day, Li Shimin ordered the lights to be lit in Kunming Pool.

This pond is the artificial lake dug by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty for the training of the water army, the pond water is vast, 320 hectares wide, there are Lingtai, Lingmarsh and other scenic spots.

At this time, thousands of lamps and candles were used to decorate it into the image of the "Book of Poetry" Chinese Wang Jichang and the people playing together, "the deer is wet, the white bird is bright".

There are also stone carved cowherds and weaver girls, standing opposite the east and west banks, decorated with lamps and candles, like the scene of the Tianhe.

There are also whales carved from jade that can spray water, and when they are mixed with fire oil in the water, they seem to spit out a little star.

Its beauty and brilliance are just as described in Su Wei's poem "The Fifteenth Night of the First Lunar Month" decades later:

Fire tree honeysuckle. The iron lock of the star bridge is opened

Dark dust goes with the horse. The bright moon came one by one

Forty miles around Kunming Pond, along the pond trail dotted with lights and candles, incomparably brilliant and gorgeous.

How could the Siyi monarch ever see such a splendid and prosperous place? At night, I accompanied the monarchs and ministers of the country, or walked along the poolside, or floated by boat, or climbed the high post and looked, and I was in a trance for a while, and I didn't know what day it was.

Li Shimin saw the jaw-dropping appearance of Qu Wentai and others, and the dragon heart was happy, and he ordered to have fun with the people.

Since then, Fang has gradually had the custom of watching the lanterns at night for three days before and after the Shangyuan Dynasty.

The next day, he ordered to drive back to the palace, and selected the best of the prey he had caught and sent it to Da'an Palace to be dedicated to Emperor Li Yuan.

Subsequently, Li Shimin summoned Pharmacist Li and Hou Junji.

In addition to the grandeur of the spring search of the Kunming Pond, it also mentions the great hunting ceremony, and the cabinet should focus on the overall situation, and there is no need to hold the bow and arrow.

Although the flaws were not concealed, the emperor still reminded the pair of teachers and students, asked Pharmacist Li to teach Hou Junji more intentionally, and at the same time told Hou Junji to learn from Pharmacist Li devoutly.

Li Shimin's words, in fact, returned to Hou Junji everywhere to avoid embarrassing this poor man who had just entered the Taiwan Pavilion and was still uninformed.

However, according to Hou Junji's flamboyant personality, he only heard the emperor's praise for himself and his requirements for Pharmacist Li.

In addition, the old departments of the Qin Mansion that are familiar with him, including Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, etc., are all similar in origin and knowledge, and they are not as willing as him to study.

At this time, although Hou Junji had entered the cabinet, he was still willing to ride and shoot side by side with himself and others to deter the four Yi monarchs, but they felt that they were in harmony with each other, and they were even more affectionate to each other.

Only Qin Shubao, who had already entered the Sui Dynasty, was even more appreciated by Li Yuan after entering the Tang Dynasty, and understood the importance of the imperial court to rules and laws.

It's just that not only did he not have Li Shimin's holy family, but he was also injured too much in previous battles, and at this time he was riddled with illness and pain, and often rested in bed, so it was difficult to advise.

Su Dingfang was completely different from Hou Junji, he was happy and convinced of Pharmacist Li, and he was even more attentive to the homework given by this teacher, and he had already classified the various spars handed over to him by Pharmacist Li and observed them thoroughly.

Su Dingfang still had some East China Sea spirits left behind by his father-in-law Gao Yaxian, and his brothers obtained a lot of desert water spirits from the Turkic Iron Mountain Tent, and he took them all to ponder one by one, and reported his experience to Pharmacist Li to know.

Pharmacist Li only ordered him to properly store these water essences, and did not arrange for subsequent uses.

In the following months, although the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty were thriving, the emperor's family affairs were not smooth.

The Li Tang royal family inherited "wind disease", which is a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, which was a terminal disease in ancient times.

There are many emperors of the Tang Dynasty, including Gaozu Li Yuan, Taizong Li Shimin, Gaozong Li Zhi, Shunzong Li Xu, Muzong Li Heng, Wenzong Li Ang, Xuanzong Li Chen, etc., all have records of suffering from wind disease.

At this time, Li Yuan's illness was already quite obvious, and Li Shimin also began to feel all kinds of discomfort.

As for Li Chenggan, his condition is even more serious than that of his grandfather and father, with symptoms such as deficiency of qi and blood, and partial waste of yin and yang.

The group of doctors was tied, even if Sun Simiao was invited, they still couldn't do anything.

Li Shimin was very anxious and ordered the Taoist priest to pray for the prince.

When Li Chenggan improved slightly, he set up a Xihua view to return his wish.

However, in May, Li Chenggan fell ill again, and his condition worsened, with symptoms such as hemiplegia and paralysis of his limbs.

Li Shimin ordered to build Cide Temple for his mother, Empress Taimu Dou, and Puguang Temple for the crown prince, and at the same time to punish the prisoners of the world, in order to have mercy on the heavens.

Fortunately, Sun Simiao was still in Chang'an at this time, and under the timely treatment, Li Chenggan's hemiplegia was alleviated, but after all, he left his legs and feet dry.

This year, everything in the East Palace can be said to be unsmooth, Li Chenggan's condition has only stabilized slightly, but the news of the death of the prince and young master Li Gang has come.

After Dou Jin was transferred from the crown prince Zhan Shi to the general craftsman, Li Gang took over Zhan Shi, and soon Li Shimin promoted him to the crown prince and young master.

Li Gangshi is a figure of a generation, and he once taught Yang Jian's crown prince Yang Yong, Li Yuan's crown prince Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin's crown prince Li Chenggan, but none of them were able to inherit the throne smoothly.

In September, the renovation of Inshou Palace was completed.

This palace is high and spacious, there is a phoenix dancing state, Li Shimin takes the "Shangshu. Yiji" "Xiao Shao ninety, phoenix to the ceremony" righteousness, renamed Jiucheng Palace.

This was the summer palace for the summer, and it was already late autumn, so he ordered the next year's luck.

Jiucheng Palace was only completed, and Li Shimin actually wanted to repair Luoyang Palace.

Dai Bin reprimanded him and bitterly stated the situation of "chaotic departure, weak household registration, one person in service, and the whole family will be abolished".

Although the emperor expressed his appreciation, he still ordered the master craftsman Dou Jin to rebuild.

A year ago, when he intended to build Luoyang Palace, he would have exported a lot of materials to Luoyang.

At this time, the construction was carried out again, and even if it was successful.

However, Li Shimin got the performance, and heard that the project was digging a pond to build a mountain, and the carvings were gorgeous, and in a fit of anger, he ordered it to be destroyed, and even deposed Dou Jin.

At about the same time, Li Yuan's eighth son, Li Yuanheng, the daughter of Dou Jin, was the princess, and Li Shimin's third daughter, Princess Nanping, married Wang Jingzhi, the youngest son of Wang Qi.

Wang Jue was born in the Taiyuan Wang family with five surnames and seven wangs, and his wife was born in the Jingzhao Du family, which was the queen of Du Fu in the Western Jin Dynasty and the great-grandmother of the poet Du Fu.

At that time, the princess got married, and Aunt Weng visited the princess according to the national ceremony.

And Wang Jue and Du, a couple from a wealthy family, actually ordered the princess to visit Aunt Weng according to the family ceremony.

For the strength of the clan, the emperor has long been unhesitant.

Compared with Wang Qi's attitude, Dou Jin seemed to be very "knowledgeable" at this time, not to mention that he was still the younger brother of Empress Taimu Dou, so Li Shimin quickly reinstated him to his official position.

At the beginning of Li Shimin's accession to the throne, he once decreed: "I am the Son of Heaven, so I can support the people, how can I work the people to support my own clan!" ”

At that time, except for a few people such as Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, all the clans were reduced to county princes.

At this time, he deeply felt the strength of the power of the family, and ordered the ministers to discuss feudalism.

Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Yan Shigu and others all thought it was inappropriate, and Li Shimin ordered to continue the discussion.
