Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Hearing Li You say that there is still a way to ease the relationship, Li Shimin suddenly became energetic.

Li Shimin is not in a hurry, he also understands Li You's routine now, since Li You has already started, as long as he doesn't interrupt, the solution will come out immediately.

Sure enough, Li You continued thinking.

[Didn't Li Er recently ask someone to survey the location of the new palace in Longshouyuan, northeast of the palace, because Taiji Palace has been lived by the Supreme Emperor, and plan to move there by himself? 】

[I know that Taiji Palace is now living in Grandpa Huang, which is very convenient for you, but ordinary people like you don't understand. 】

【You declare to the world that you will build a new palace for yourself, wouldn't that make those people who are still hungry point to your back and scold you for your extravagance and desire. 】

[It's not that the new palace cannot be built, but it needs to be built bigger and more luxurious than the current Taiji Palace, but we must pay attention to the method. 】

[Changing the way of thinking, building the new palace to Grandpa Huang, won't all these problems be solved. 】

[In this way, the court officials and the people all over the world will definitely feel your love for Grandpa Huang, and Grandpa Huang will naturally be extremely moved. 】

Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized, and sighed in his heart that Li You's idea was simply too perfect.

Just as Li You thought, the new palace must be built, and if the palace is built for the Supreme Emperor, it will definitely make his image even taller.

[Li Er should know best that Grandpa Huang is a face-saving person. The matter between you brothers is over. As long as you give Grandpa Huang enough respect, he will definitely accept you again. 】

[At that time, it will be an opportunity for the two to settle their suspicions, and Li Er's reputation among the common people will definitely be better. 】

Li You's words had completely awakened Li Shimin, and he felt that the more he listened, the more reasonable it became.

He was originally not a person who was greedy for pleasure, and the purpose of building the palace was to avoid the embarrassing situation of two emperors and one palace.

Giving up the new palace to the Supreme Emperor can also solve the current embarrassment, and at the same time, it can also exchange for the harmony between father and son and the admiration of all people. It is really worth it.

Li Shimin still felt ashamed because of the Xuanwumen incident, so he really wanted to make up for Li Yuan.

He had no choice but Li You's inner voice undoubtedly opened a new window for him, allowing him to see the vast world.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't wait to go to his ministers to officially announce the news of the new palace.

"You'er, stay here to spend more time with your mother and concubine, I still have some government affairs to deal with."

Then Li Shimin left in a hurry, summoned Changsun Wuji, Fang Du, and the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, Duan Lun, to discuss matters in the study.

Facing Li Shimin's hasty departure, although Li You was curious, he was still happy.

[Li Er is quite sensible, and he will leave after a while. It is not too bad for me to call him Father Emperor for such a performance. 】

Li Shimin didn't hear Li You's thoughts, he was thinking about how to announce this to everyone later.

When I came to the study, a group of ministers were already waiting here.

In addition to the former three prime ministers, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, there is also Du Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yan Lide, the master craftsman who will be the supervisor.

Jiangzuojian is an important department among the nine temples and five prisons. It is an official office that is in charge of palace architecture, gold, jade, jade, rhinoceros and elephant treasures, and exquisite utensils, as well as the embroidery of gauze satin and various strange utensils.

Yan Lide was born in a noble family, inherited his family education, and was good at architecture, crafts, and painting, and possessed many talents.

His father, Yan Pi, was good at craftsman, able to seal script, craft cursive script, especially good at painting, which was wonderful at that time.

He also has a younger brother, Yan Liben, a famous painter who has preserved famous paintings such as "Prince of Walking Chariots" and "Portraits of Emperors of Past Dynasties".

Yan Pi, Yan Lide, and Yan Liben are famous for their crafts and paintings.

After everyone arrived, Li Shimin said: "Master Yan, how is the progress of the matter that I asked you to survey the new palace in Longshouyuan?"

Yan Lide has been paying attention to this matter recently, and immediately reported the current progress.

Then he said: "Longshouyuan has unique conditions, and everything is ready for the construction of the new palace."

"only……"

Hearing Yan Lide's hesitation, Li Shimin asked again: "Just what, Master Yan, but it doesn't matter."

Yan Lide thought for a while and said: "It's just that the new emperor has just ascended the throne and is about to build a palace. It is inevitable that there will be criticism from the people."

"I also know that the new palace has to be built now, but I think it is still possible to delay the start of construction. We will stock up on building materials first, and then reduce the scale of the new palace to reduce public grievances."

Li Shimin smiled.

'Hey, Master Yan has nothing to say in terms of craftsmanship, but it is still small and the layout is small. '

'Even if I reduce the scale, won't the people of the world stop scolding me, and the aristocratic families won't take the opportunity to criticize me? '

From this point of view, Yuer's idea is still reliable. '

Then Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Master Yan, you are wrong."

"The construction of this new palace will begin immediately, and it will double in size!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the study were shocked.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Although the situation of the national treasury has improved, the country still can't bear the heavy construction!"

Changsun Wuji immediately spoke.

Everyone's reaction was within Li Shimin's expectations, and then he said slowly: "I didn't build this new palace for myself, but for the Supreme Emperor."

"After the new palace is completed, it will give the Supreme Emperor a better environment!"

Immediately, the ministers who were a little noisy just now because of the expansion of the scale quieted down.

They absolutely did not act. Li Shimin wanted to expand the scale of the new palace to accommodate the Supreme Emperor.

"Here, has His Majesty really decided?"

Yan Lide couldn't believe Li Shimin's decision.

In fact, Li Shimin had been planning this matter for a long time. During this period, he had a long discussion with Qu Tu, then Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, before it was approved.

"Of course I keep my word!"

Li Shimin was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and nodded with his head held high.

"Your Majesty's filial piety is known to the world, and they will definitely be greatly moved. Your Majesty is a model of filial piety in the world."

Changsun Wuji was the first to react, and immediately bowed down and praised.

Duan Lun on the side also immediately connected: "After the Supreme Emperor knows His Majesty's intentions, he will definitely be moved."

Duan Lun is Li Yuan's son-in-law. Speaking of which, at this moment, his relationship with Li Yuan is much closer than that of Li Shimin.

So I also understand the subtlety of the relationship between the two.

In fact, when Duan Lun accompanied the princess into the palace recently, he had already noticed the change in Li Yuan's attitude. What was missing in the relationship between the two was an opportunity.

And now, Xingong is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

After enjoying the worship of all the ministers, Li Shimin said: "If the expenditure for the expansion of the new palace is not enough for the household department, then go to the Shence Mansion."

"I pardon the property of the Shence Mansion to be exempted from paying taxes. This time, the palace construction will let General Shence do his filial piety."
