Chapter 292: Transforming the Harem

Wang Hongfu's movements were very fast, and after half an hour, dozens of craftsmen came to the palace gate, and Li Shen went out in person and took the queen's slip to bring people in.

Walking on the stone slabs of the palace, these craftsmen were curious. Li Shen had to stop at the gate of the harem after discovering it,

"Listen, you all come into this door, don't look around, bow your head and follow the person in front, if you get separated, I'm sorry for you, the head will fall to the ground.

You have all worked for this king for several years, and this king does not want anything to happen to you, so you can rest and go home to have a good life after this trip.

When you walk through this door, this king can't walk around casually, and this king won't be able to protect you when the time comes, do you hear? ”

Li Shen must explain well, otherwise something goes wrong, and Li Shen will have to be punished. If the matter is bigger, give him a troubled harem, then Li Shen can only accompany his fifth brother.

"Understood."

Li Shen was still not at ease, so he found more than 20 eunuchs from the Daji Hall and surrounded these people in a circle so as not to get separated.

The craftsmen are actually very afraid, and there is no shortage of rumors in the palace among the people, and it is said that the emperor's mother-in-law will be killed at a glance.

They didn't want to take the job this time, but they couldn't do it if they didn't, they were also afraid of Li Shen. Fortunately, the price given this time was high enough, and it was actually their three-month salary.

Li Shen first brought people to the Daji Palace, Wei Guifei has a side hall, Li Shen means that he will be on the first place, and he will renovate it when the spring of next year begins.

"Remember, you are not allowed to leave this temple for three zhang, and there is no forgiveness for those who exceed three zhang. Tell the stone what you lack, and he will prepare it for you. Li Shen explained again.

In fact, there is no shortage of anything, nothing more than bricks and earth and water. These Li Shen have already been pulled over from the Ministry of Industry,

As for whether it's cold outside, whether it's cold or not, whether it's frozen or not? Don't make a fuss, it's ancient. Which of the laundry in the court is not washed with cold water.

Li Shen has traveled through so many years, and as a privileged class, he has quite a lot of experience, for the people, Li Shen does not bully them, then Li Shen is a good person.

For Li Shen, he doesn't rebel, he can do whatever he wants.

Li Shen took the foreman to briefly talk about some layouts, which were actually similar to his palace. It is to make a ground dragon, plate a kang, and build a chimney, and the fire is all outside. (Don't bar, when I was a child, there were fires outside in the countryside to keep the house clean.) )

After explaining, Li Shen went back to Wei Guifei to chat with the two of them, and Wei Guifei also complained that Li Shen didn't bring Lu Dingniang.

"Shen'er, I heard Dingniang say that you don't have a round house now? Do you want to let the Imperial Doctor take a look? When Wei Guifei heard the news, her first reaction was that her son was sick.

"......" Li Shen was speechless. Can't you expect your son to be better?

"Mother, my son is not sick, didn't I say it before, it will be dangerous to give birth too early, and I plan to talk about it in a few years."

"Nonsense, in a few years, the clan will be looking for you by this time next year, you are the prince, not an ordinary clan." Wei Guifei reprimanded.

Li Shen belongs to Li Shimin's branch and must bear the responsibility of spreading the branches.

"Mother, what is the matter with the clan when I give birth to a child, I want to see who dares to care about me." Li Shen was unconvinced,

"Okay, don't say it, Dingniang has already discussed it with me, Yuan Zheng asked Wu Mei to be a concubine first, and after Yuan Zheng, she will find a time to seal the side concubine."

Wei Guifei's words were undoubted, but Li Shen did not refuse, after all, Wu Mei would be twenty years old after Yuanzheng.

Unexpectedly, Wei Guifei continued:

"Next year, take all the handmaidens you take out and be Teng. It's not in vain that they've been serving you for so long. ”

No, after so much, Li Shen felt that he had to be tired to death, and he really used himself as a cow.

"Mother, don't wait any longer, my son is still young."

"What are you waiting for, Lan Yu'er is almost thirty years old, she can't get married at this age, when she entered the palace with me, I asked her to take care of you, this time it will be more than ten years, and being a Teng is also a mother concubine to give her an explanation."

Mom, you explain, you can't let your son be a cow or a horse. However, seeing that Wei Guifei was unhappy, Li Shen immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, Chunxiang and Dongmei are also almost twenty years old. has long reached the age of marriage, but Li Shen is used to serving them, and he knows that they will definitely follow him in the future.

Seeing Li Mengjiang on the side covering his mouth and snickering, Li Shen said,

"Sister, how is Zhou Daowu doing in Yulinwei recently?"

Zhou Daowu was transferred to Yulinwei by Li Shimin as a loose official because of Princess Shang, responsible for Li Shimin's daily guard work, similar to Cheng's heir.

As soon as Zhou Daowu Li Mengjiang was mentioned, he immediately became shy and said in a low voice.

"We haven't seen it since the last mother's birthday banquet."

"Well, it's okay not to see him, so as not to gossip, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, sister, your reputation is much more valuable than his." Li Shen said honestly

"Nonsense, Zhou Daowu will be your sister's Langjun in the future, how can you talk like this." Before Li Mengjiang could refute, Wei Guifei reprimanded.

Li Shen is also afraid of lonely men and widows, if something happens, then Li Shimin can spare the two of them, this era is not popular to get on the bus first and then make up the ticket.

Almost an hour later, there was news that it had been completed, which means that there is a lot of power.

Li Shen simply checked it, and ordered someone to start burning the fire, he didn't like to do it in winter, Li Shen asked people to burn it for a while.

Then after testing that there was no smoke in the house, Li Shen took these dozens of people to the Lizheng Hall next to it.

The procedure is the same, first notify the queen mother, let some people avoid it, and then be led by the eunuch to the designated side hall,

The project is the same as that of Dajidian, but the difference is that this time it was Yu Linwei who looked at these people. When these people knew that this was working for the empress mother, and that His Majesty the Emperor would be able to sleep on the kang they made in the future,

One by one, they cheered up one hundred and twenty points, for fear that they would lose their heads if they were unqualified in any place.

In fact, Li Shen's kang is very simple, just like his hometown in his previous life, with a cement slab and a layer of mud.

This makes it easier to repair and easier to dismantle next year.

Li Shen entered the Lizheng Hall again and took his son to play with Hengshan, and his son's body was getting better and better day by day because of Sun Simiao's conditioning.

Now I can run, jump, eat and sleep.

When the sun was in the west, the report came to say that the construction had been completed, and Li Shen went over to personally inspect it.

Ordered someone to start the fire, and after some inspection, there was no smoke leakage, and then the work was announced.

When Li Shen was leaving, he told Empress Changsun that he couldn't sleep tonight, but he could do it tomorrow night. Tomorrow I should be able to do it after a day's burning, but I can stay in that house because it's always warm in the fire house.

After that, Li Shen left the palace with the craftsmen.

When they walked out of the palace, both Li Shen and the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shen looked back at the deep palace compound and shook his head, it was too depressing, and it was not comfortable to live in at all.

"Okay, you all go back, go to Wang Hongfu tomorrow to get your salary, and go home to have a good time."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he got into the carriage and went home.

(Let's talk about a few points here, first, the Tang Dynasty New Year is called Yuan Zheng, which was written as Zheng Yuan before, because there are too many to change.) That's what I saw when I looked through the materials today.

Second, there were no side concubines in the Tang Dynasty, only side rooms, also called side ladies, whose status was similar to that of the fourth concubine and the second-in-command of the palace. Digression: The prince of the Tang Dynasty could marry twelve wives. The other officials' names are Teng, and their nicknames are concubines.

The third is to predict that some people say that the workmanship is fast, and it will be done in more than two hours. I want to say this, my father only takes an hour to pan the kang alone. Dozens of people do three jobs, and more than two hours should be fine.

The fourth predicts Wu Mei's age, Wu Zetian was born in 624, Li Shen was born in 628, and after Yuanzheng is the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shen is sixteen years old, 4+16=20.

The fifth marries a lot, but it doesn't mean a harem, and there are not many scenes. In fact, during this period, it was also difficult to achieve monogamy, and the royal family would not allow it. Class. )
