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

"What a secret!"

Li You was taken aback, he didn't know what Yan Lide was talking about.

Yan Lide immediately understood that he was too reckless.

He quickly explained: "What more secrets can there be? Naturally, it's because the Food City doesn't need to burn stoves, but it's warmer than many places with stoves!"

"So you were talking about this secret."

Li You patted his heart, suppressing his shock.

Then he said, "That's called a warm wall, just ask Haig about how to do it!"

Hearing this, Yan Lide smiled bitterly and said, "If Master Haig is willing to tell me, why would I wait here for the lord?"

It turns out that this time, although Li You asked Haig to join the design team, he told Haig not to be too sharp. You can add what you have learned from Li You to the design, but don't do too much until the last moment. explain.

Therefore, although Haig proposed a winter heating plan in the design of the palace, he did not explain it in too much detail.

Li You smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this is very simple. Although the Food City does not have a stove indoors, the heat generated continuously by the kitchen is not wasted at all."

"Through the hollow warm walls, this heat is carried into the individual rooms."

"And in order to adjust the temperature, a large stove was specially set up on the side of the food court."

"It is this double insurance that makes the food city warmer than if there is a stove, even though there is no stove in sight."

"Forget it. Later, I will ask Haig to bring you the detailed design of the food city for study. The winter in the north is cold, but there are still many designs to keep out the cold."

After finishing speaking, Li You casually said a few more words, and heard Yan Lide froze for a while.

In the end, Li You said with a smile: "I know these designs sound a bit exaggerated, but this is only possible because of the existence of clean coal."

"If you burn other things, not only do you need more fuel, but you often have to go out to refuel."

"This king can think more than you, but it's just because he is more familiar with clean coal."

In the end, after Li You continued to encourage Yan Lide a bit, he ran away with him in a hurry.

He has too many things to do in the past few days, so leave the affairs of Daming Palace to other people.

However, as soon as Li You returned to the palace, another person came to the palace.

Seeing this person, Li You couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Didn't this king just come back from the palace? What happened?"

Facing Li You's nervousness, the messenger eunuch suddenly laughed.

"Go back to King Chu, this time is not a bad thing!"

"Your Majesty has made an intention to worship the ancestors in the Taimiao in three days. The King of Chu needs to participate in this ancestor worship, so the King of Chu needs to enter the palace for preparations in the next few days."

Hearing this order, Li You's face instantly became ugly.

In the Tang Dynasty, worshiping the ancestors in the Taimiao was very frequent. In addition to temporary events such as the enthronement of the new king and the expedition of the army, there were also fixed and normal sacrifices.

The first is the moon sacrifice, that is, the ancestral temple is sacrificed on the first day of each month.

During the Moon Festival, the emperor will generally issue future almanacs to guide the world's farming and farming, and to clarify the emperor's commanding relationship with the world.

However, because the moon sacrifices were too frequent, generally speaking, the emperor was too lazy to visit the ancestral temple in person, and often only sent envoys, ministers of the Zongzheng Temple, and Minister of Rites to the ancestral temple to kill a sheep and the job was over.

In addition to the moon festival, the more solemn one is the festival of the four seasons.

The so-called four-season sacrifices refer to offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple in Mengyue of each season. Spring is called Temple, Summer is called Sui, Autumn is called Tasting, and Winter is called Steaming.

In addition, the La Festival is held every year at the end of December when the old and new are handed over, so it is actually five festivals a year.

La Festival has a long history, which can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Because December at the end of the year has other names such as "La Yue" and "La Dong", the sacrifices held in this month are called "La Festival".

And this time the wax festival is also the first wax festival held after Li Shimin ascended the throne, so the degree of grandness is much higher than in the past.

As the participants of the sacrificial ceremony, they all need to fast.

Generally speaking, fasting is divided into loose fasting and induced fasting.

Among them, Sanzhai is for seven days. During the seven days, there is no restraint, no joy, and no hanging. Zhizhai is for three days. You can’t go out and stay at home to miss your ancestors. Same.

Now someone asked Li You to go to the palace to prepare sacrifices, but in fact the preparation was fasting.

Li You's expression became very ugly at the thought of not having any meat for the next three days.

Although he is not a meat eater, he can't bear to eat food for several days.

At this time, Xiao Ying at the side comforted: "Isn't it just three days, my lord?"

"I'll let Fairy Bei enter the palace with you later. With Fairy Bei here, even vegetables can be made meaty by her."

Hearing this, Li You finally nodded in embarrassment.

Since Li Shimin gave the order, there was nothing he could do.

After dawdling for a while, Li You could only follow into the palace.

After spending three days like an ascetic monk, Li You finally dragged his tired heart to the sacrificial ceremony.

In the past three days, although Li You had no problem eating because of the existence of Fairy Bei, the daily etiquette education made Li You complain endlessly.

Many times, Li You said that he understood everything, but those old ministers who taught etiquette had to say it again.

However, these ministers are old, and Li You is not easy to contradict, so he can only endure and continue to listen.

[Isn't the etiquette of worshiping ancestors the same every year? I didn't see any mistakes I made last year. 】

【Master, I really understand, just let me go! 】

However, this old pedant who taught etiquette was unmoved in the slightest, not only kept explaining, but also asked Li You questions from time to time, making him unable to do anything even if he wanted to be lazy.

Li Shimin, who came to peek at Li You's reluctant appearance, could clearly see it, and couldn't help being amused for a while.

'You bastard, I didn't expect someone to be able to cure you. '

'Fortunately, I had an idea and didn't ask Li Gang to teach you. '

'Really replace it with Li Gang, I guess you, a bastard, have already slept in an open and aboveboard manner. '

Before the ceremony started, Li Shimin glanced at the princes behind him, feeling secretly proud.

In the past year, although he wanted the four older princes to enter the sixth department for internship on a whim, the effect was surprisingly good.

Although Prince Li Chengqian was decadent for a period of time, he has recently regained his status. He often has unexpected insights on streamlining the administration of officials, and Du Ruhui often expresses his admiration.

Li Tai's "Expanded Dizhi" and Li Ke's views on army management were also praised by officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

As for Li You, there were too many surprises.

Therefore, after Li Shimin comforted his ancestors today, the first thing he announced was to reward these princes heavily.

Li Chengqian has become a prince, and his reward is mainly land.

King Li Ke was added one level, and he was officially granted the important post of governor of Yizhou. There are a total of 36 states in Huining Dudufu.

King Li Tai was added one level, and he was named the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Yuezhou, and the governors of Chang, Hai, Run, Chu, Shu, Lu, Hao, Shou, She, Su, Hangzhou, Xuan, Dongmu, Nanhe, etc. The sixteen prefectures were the governor of Yangzhou, and they also supervised the six prefectures of Yue, Wu, Quan, Jian, Tai and Kuo.

Li You was granted the title of king of Yan, worshiped as the governor of Tongzhou, and served as the governor of the six states including You and Yi, and the governor of Youzhou.

At the same time, because the three princes are still young, they are only holding positions from a distance, and they don't have to take the feudal lord in person.
