Weiyang Palace was built by Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty, it was the political and cultural center at that time, since the Weiyang Palace was built, the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty lived here, and became the center of the Han Empire's decrees for more than 200 years.

Therefore, in the poetry of later generations, Weiyang Palace has become synonymous with the Han Palace.

Weiyang Palace is also the starting point of the Silk Road, Zhang Qian received the will of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Weiyang Palace to send an envoy to the Western Regions.

Since the Sui Dynasty moved its capital, the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was included in the Imperial Forbidden Garden and became a scenic area for the exclusive use of the royal family.

In the Tang Dynasty, Weiyang Palace was also one of the three major royal palaces of the Tang Dynasty, and it was located in the northwest of Chang'an City.

Li Shimin took his family through the Xuanwu Gate and entered the Royal Forbidden Garden,

The Royal Forbidden Garden is twenty-seven miles long from east to west, twenty-three miles wide from north to south, and there is a wall around the garden.

There are two gates in the east and west, and three in the north and south.

There are palace pavilions in the garden, there are willow gardens, peach orchards, vineyards, pear orchards, etc., Li Shimin often comes here to compete in the water, hunt and release eagles, and feast and drink ministers.

There are also the Northern Ya Forbidden Army stationed here to defend the capital, including Yu Linwei.

"Someone, come out."

As soon as Li Shimin arrived at Weiyang Palace, he saw movement in the grass, and immediately shouted angrily and drew his sword.

Li Shimin has never seen any kind of scene on the battlefield for a long time, even at this moment, he is not afraid.

With Li Shimin's loud shout, Li An beside him also blocked in front of Li Shimin for the first time, and the Hundred Horsemen surrounded Li Shimin.

Yu Linwei also immediately stood guard in front of Li Shimin,

Soon, the grass shook a few times, and a person crawled out of it, and it turned out to be a soldier with a knife hiding inside.

At this moment, the soldier's body trembled like chaff, and he looked frightened.

"Who are you?" Li Shimin asked.

The soldier collapsed to the ground with a thud and stammered in reply:

"Back .... Return... Your Majesty, the villain is the guard here, just now the villain saw that His Majesty's guard of honor was coming, the villain avoided it and was not in a hurry, so he had to lie in the grass and wait for His Majesty to come out after passing. ”

According to the Tang law, if he appears with a sword to the emperor without permission, he will be punished for rebellion, not only will he die.

His family, and even the generals above him, were going to die.

Li Shimin watched the soldiers tremble on the ground, and pity rose in his heart,

"Come on." Li Shimin said a word to the soldiers, and gave Li An another look.

Li An willingly stepped forward to help the soldier up, and by the way, he removed his knife.

The scene was controlled, everyone performed their duties, and Li Shimin led people into Weiyang Palace.

When he came to the main hall, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian:

"Gao Ming, you immediately send this person out the back door, tell him not to make a noise, and return the knife to him."

"It's Ayah." Li Chengqian agreed, and escorted the soldiers out with a hundred horsemen.

It didn't take long for Li Chengqian to return.

"Gao Ming, do you know why I let this person go?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin was taking the school, so he said:

"Aya was merciful, and could not bear to kill him. That's why he was let live. ”

"Hehe, this is only one aspect, for the monarch to have a merciful heart, according to the law, just now not only he will die, but also his family, as well as his superiors, and the guards in charge of clearing.

If you get serious, at least dozens of people will fall to the ground.

He did it unintentionally, so why let them die in vain? Li Shimin explained to Li Chengqian with a smile.

Li Chengqian realized that this was his father teaching him, so he humbly bowed his head and said:

"Thank you Aya for your teachings."

"As an emperor, you can't blindly kill, you still have to have the mercy you deserve.

Don't learn from your tenth brother at this point, although your tenth brother is smart, but he is timid and too cautious.

And the killing is not decisive enough, and the work is not atmospheric enough.

But this is not necessarily a good thing for him.

But you are different, you will be the emperor in the future, and you can't always use intrigue and trickery like him. ”

Li Shimin is telling the truth, for the monarch to be magnificent, there is a pattern, all the use is conspiracy, and all the games are political means.

Wherever Li Shen plays like this, it is all conspiracy and trickery, and all the methods used are indiscriminate.

"Yes, remember." Li Chengqian accepted it humbly, and he also felt that what his father said was right, how could it be so insidious to use history as a guide.

"Ahh Sneeze!! ”

"Lord Wang, what's wrong, is there something uncomfortable?"

At this moment, on the way to the northwest, Ji Wang Li Shen sneezed a few times without warning, and Lan Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward to inquire with concern.

Li Shen rubbed his nose with his hand and frowned.

"It's not that I'm sick, I think about it, I scold it twice, someone must be cursing this king, the spirit of heaven and the spirit of the earth, the spirit of good and not the spirit of bad,

Bah! Bah! The bad do not work for the good spirit. ”

Li Shen began to exorcise evil spirits for himself, which was popular when he was a child in his previous life,

Seeing Li Shen's chatter, Lan Yu'er was speechless for a while.

The behavior of her prince is sometimes very strange and incomprehensible.

"Stone, stone." Li Shen lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted outside.

"What does the prince command?" The stone rode over on horseback.

"Where are you now?" Li Shen had been walking for more than half a month, and the speed of the march was a little slow because of the materials and labor.

"Back to the prince, I have entered the boundary of Minzhou." Stone replied.

In the past few days, Li Shen has to ask this question several times a day,

The main thing is that it's too boring, unlike when I go to the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, where I stop and go like a tourist.

This time he was in a hurry, and he never stopped, except for the night when he would set up camp, and the rest of the time, even eating was a mouthful.

This made Li Shen very uncomfortable, and he didn't have the pleasure of going out at all.

"Go, Wang Changshi called." Li Shen commanded.

He also brought Wang Xuance over this time, otherwise there would be no one to give advice about something.

His little knowledge and wisdom are no longer enough.

"Lord Wang, you woke up." Wang Xuance came over and asked.

"Xuan Ce, how long will it take for us to arrive, this king is eating and sleeping now, sleeping and eating, and now he is dizzy." Li Shen asked helplessly.

"Lord Wang, now that I have arrived in Minzhou, I should be able to reach Lanzhou in three or four days. The prince is patient. ”

Wang Xuance replied, knowing that King Ji was about to lose his patience with this tedious march.

"Hmm, there's news from the front?" Li Shen nodded.

"Back to the prince, the captain of the horse has already taken a group of laborers who arrived early to Chiling, and they are departing one after another every day, and the minister estimates that there should be almost nothing left when we arrive."

"Well, remember to send someone to inform the steward there, be sure to pay attention to those who have altitude sickness, and let them rest if they are unwell,

They are laborers, not slaves, and don't die to death. Isn't it cost-effective for us to lose money then? Li Shen admonished again.

"Yes, the minister will send someone to inform you." Wang Xuance received the order, he knew that King Ji was kind.
