Datang's journey to death

Although Li Ke was a little surprised to be neighbors with Pei Xuan, he didn't feel any resistance. The central area of ​​the entire Chang'an city was only so small. At the beginning, Li Yuan favored Pei Ji, and Pei Ji was named the Duke of Wei. The location of the house was natural. It was also the best in the city, and later this house was given to Pei Xuan, and even if Li Ke moved out, he would have been very close to him even if he hadn't become a neighbor of Pei Xuan.

However, things are not that simple. If you want to build a palace, you will naturally have to move out the people who originally lived there.And next to it is also a mansion of the state—that is the mansion of Chen Guogong, Hou Junji.

The prince's mansion has its own system. If there is any problem, the master craftsman in charge of this part will die. The capital master is also sweating profusely. Before the standard was roughly estimated, but now it is accurate After the data, the difference is actually not too much, but the difference is about a foot in the horizontal direction, but even people who are below one foot dare not ignore it easily, and quickly reported it.

But even if they report it, the household department will only let them think of a way, not to mention that these master craftsmen really came up with some ways later-to tear down the fence of the Hedong County government!

Of course, the reason why they did this was because after measuring the energy between Hou Junji and Pei Xuan, they planned to attack the Duke of Hedong County. At that time, they wanted to slightly change the side door of the Duke of Hedong County. After all, it was just a door. Little difference in size is nothing.

It's just that after measuring the mansion of the Duke of Hedong County, all the craftsmen are glad that they are really lucky-the mansion of the Duke of Hedong County violates the regulations!

If it is said that there is a bit of violation, it is only two feet wider, but that is too wide. It is very fair and aboveboard for the craftsman to tear down the wall of Pei Xuan's house. .

It is expected that the craftsmen are all rejoicing, and Li Ke, who knows this, is about to scold his mother in his heart-he is trying to stabilize his hatred.Originally, his relationship with Pei Xuan was not good, and until now he hadn't figured out where the hostility towards him came from. Now that the new and old hatreds are added together, there is probably no possibility of reconciliation between him and Pei Xuan. .

Li Ke frowned, and directly called Liao Xian, the capital craftsman who was in charge of the construction of his palace.Liao Xian was very concerned about the construction of Prince Wu's Mansion. Although they were all princes, the treatment of being favored and not being favored was absolutely different.

Liao Xian heard that King Wu wanted to see him, so he immediately rolled up the designed drawings and came to see him.Liao Xian once heard that His Royal Highness King Wu was a bit cold, so Li Ke didn't even give him a smile, and he didn't care. He just explained the layout of the entire mansion to Li Ke in detail.

Li Ke looked at the blueprint and couldn't help being dumbfounded. His palace was not so well built last time, or in other words, the palace was just a well-regulated prince's palace last time, but this time it basically did not violate the rules. The case was as luxurious as possible.

Although Li Ke wanted to improve Li Shimin's favorability, he would not make things difficult for him. Anyway, there was no violation of the rules, so let's be more luxurious if it is more luxurious.

After Liao Xian finished speaking, Li Ke asked: "I heard that the land built by the palace is not wide enough?"

Du Liu immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we have already contacted the Duke of Hedong County, and the Duke of Hedong County has agreed to demolish the illegal parts."

But Li Ke raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, I will discuss this matter with Father before making a decision. You don't have to worry, if the higher-ups blame you, just say it was my fault."

Liao Xian had a troubled look on his face when he heard Li Ke said that he would wait, and then he was relieved when he heard that Li Ke would not let them take the blame.When he left Tai Chi Palace, Liao Xian still thought in his heart: King Wu is not so unkind, although he doesn't like to talk or laugh, he is just a good man!

Li Ke, who was issued a good person card, is facing Li Yin's questioning.

Li Yin watched Li Ke holding the little fox there and slowly tearing the chicken for it to eat, his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but he still wanted to act nonchalantly, and even liked the little fox very much.

"Third brother, why did you wait? Didn't you want to move out a long time ago?" Li Yin was a little happy when he said this. He originally hoped that Li Ke could stay for a while.

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate to demolish the mansion of the Duke of Hedong County for my mansion."

Li Yin was a little noncommittal: "Didn't it mean that the residence of the Duke of Hedong County violated the regulations?"

After hearing this, Li Ke waved his hands: "Those master craftsmen just watch people order dishes, but it's a pity that they missed their eyes. The Duke of Hedong County is definitely not someone in the pool. This person is not easy to offend."

Li Yin didn't care much about these things, but after Li Ke said that, he didn't say anything more.He thought that Li Ke was sending a signal of reconciliation with Pei Xuan, but Li Ke's purpose was not this.

Now Pei Xuan probably knows that Du Liujiang wants to tear down the walls of his house in order to build a mansion for himself. If Pei Xuan is angry, he will naturally blame him. Even if he stops those people now, it may not be useful. Li Ke is doing it for his own sake. Prepare for the next thing.

But before that, he had to clean himself up first and then go to court to listen to politics.Now that he is about to leave the palace to build a mansion, it is a signal that he has grown up and has the ability to participate in political affairs.

The fact that Li Ke entered the court to listen to the government did not bring much psychological burden to Li Chengqian. Now that Li Ke is a novice, he must not point fingers when he first entered the court. Even the prince needs to endure it, let alone two years Li Ke is about to be kicked out of Chang'an, what is he afraid of?

What Pei Xuan said was right, what he needs most now is to do his job well, as long as this is achieved, it is enough to secure the position of prince.

And the more calm he behaved, the more Li Shimin fell in love with him.It has to be said that Li Chengqian finally mastered the correct way to increase Li Shimin's favorability after being reborn once.

However, Li Chengqian was very stable, but some people who supported him couldn't help it. Someone directly wrote a letter saying: The crown prince should hold the coronation ceremony, and February happens to be an auspicious time, which is very suitable.

The crowning ceremony is a sign of a man's adulthood. Although the real crowning ceremony should be held when a man is [-] years old, many times people don't follow this rule very much, especially in front of politics. Princes who are about the same age as the crown prince enter The court has listened to the government, and the prince is still very popular with the emperor. Even if we know that Li Ke has no ability to compete for the big position, it does not prevent everyone from being afraid of the prince being threatened.

Throughout the ages, the prince is a target.

It's just that this letter was returned by Li Shimin. Li Shimin's reason was simple: "The east is flourishing, and it is better to use October instead."

This reason sounds good. It is not suitable to hold a ceremony when spring is farming, otherwise it will easily delay the farming. However, Xiao Yu, the prince's young teacher, counted with his fingers and said: "From the calendar, October is not as good as February."

Li Shimin said: "Luck and misfortune depend on people. If you move according to yin and yang and disregard etiquette and righteousness, you can get good luck! Follow the righteousness, and you will meet good luck. Farming season is the most urgent, so don't lose it."

Well, the result of Li Ke's internal translation in his own mind is: all good and bad things are nonsense, and what I say is what I say, less nonsense.

So Li Chengqian's coronation ceremony was set in October. Although the crown prince's coronation ceremony could not be advanced, it was still possible to entrust the princes.

This time, Li Shimin sealed a lot of people in one go just like the wholesaler. First of all, Li Shimin’s younger brothers. These younger brothers were all born relatively late, so they have been sealed up to now: the younger brother Li Yuanyu was named King Qi, Li Yuan was named King Qiao, and Li Lingkui He is the king of Wei, Li Yuanxiang is the king of Xu, and Li Yuanxiao is the king of Mi.

After dealing with the younger brothers, they began to divide the cakes for the sons: the prince Li Yin was named King Liang, Li Zhen was named King Han, Li Yun was named King Tan, Li Zhi was named King Jin, Li Shen was named King Shen, and Li Xiao was named King Jiang. Wang, Li Jian is the acting king.

If you make a careful comparison, you can see that although Li Yuanyu and the others are uncles, there is still a gap in terms of titles compared with his nephews. Li Shimin left a large piece of cake to his sons.

Among Li Shimin's sons, the concubines are not as good as the legitimate sons. They are all princes, and there are subtle differences in different titles.Oh, it can't be said so absolutely. Among the concubine sons, the only one whose treatment can be compared with that of the concubine son is Li Ke.

And Li Ke was very calm about this, Li Shimin would continue if he gave it, and forget it if he didn't.

Regarding the distribution of the emperor's brother and the prince, the court gradually became a little uneasy, especially after Li Shimin called a group of ministers to discuss the distribution of the princes. Of course, this discussion is not about the emperor's brother and the princes. The title is gone, but to discuss whether to build a vassal state!

Datang is a newly established country. Part of the country’s system has been extended from the Sui Dynasty’s system, but there are some changes in it. As for the treatment of the kings, there is no complete conclusion from the founding of the country to the present. This time Li Shimin wanted to settle down.

As one of the princes, Li Ke really hoped to have his own territory as a princely country. He didn't worry about the impact of being away from Chang'an. Anyway, as a princely king, as long as he didn't look for trouble in his life, he would be like this.

It's just that even if he hoped so in his heart, he knew that it was definitely impossible. When the court was arguing endlessly about whether to build a vassal state, Li Ke privately asked Li Shimin for advice.

Li Ke found a time when Li Chengqian was not in the Lizheng Hall. Li Shimin was a little strange about the sudden visit of his third son and asked, "Is it because of the palace?"

Li Ke paused and said: "No, son... My son heard that the court has been disputing the feudal princes recently. I am only a little educated and know what I should not say to my father, but I still can't help but tell my father the truth. "

After Li Shimin heard Li Ke's intention of coming, the expression on his face became lighter. He doted on his son, but he was not out of his mind. He thought that everything his son did was right and everything his son said was good. What is the purpose of subconsciously analyzing his son?Do you want to build a vassal state?

"Oh? Why don't you come and hear what you think?" Li Shimin played with the bamboo knife in his hand, and was really curious about what Li Ke had to say.
