Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Otherwise, there is no way to do this business."

"And there are many things in this world, no matter how much money you have, it is useless."

"By the way, my father still said."

"Our Peking Palace is really too small."

"And Duke Ying's Mansion is not far from our Peking Mansion."

"So what my father means is, I want to ask you, do you want to expand the Peking Palace along the way?"

"If the husband agrees, we can spend a lot of money to buy many courtyards between the two mansions."

"It will be unified and expanded at that time."

"After the construction is completed, our two families will only be separated by a street, and it will be convenient to enter and exit."

"I also talked to Sister Kexin about this matter."

"My sister said that the Peking Palace was originally the temporary residence of the Luo family in Chang'an City."

"No one lives all year round."

"Compared with the homes of some fifth- and sixth-rank officials, they are much more stingy."

"I have long been unworthy of my husband's position."

"There was always time delay before, so I never mentioned this matter."

"Now, it's a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the Peking Palace."

Listening to Wu Jue's words, Li Qiu became thoughtful.

He understands his father-in-law's disposition all too well.

He is definitely a Confucian businessman who is indifferent to fame and wealth and cautious.

This is also one of the reasons why he has been reused from the reign of Wude to Zhenguan in front of him.

Compared with other families and powers, the samurai Xun does not have too much power and ambition.

And ability is top grade.

But recently, all of what my father-in-law planned for him.

Li Qiu couldn't understand it.

Could it be that he and Furongyuan are really so fragile?

I believe this time the move is quite high-profile, and the move to expand the house is not unrelated to the previous conversation.

Of course, this is also the concern of the elders, how can he refuse?

Then he nodded in agreement.

Chapter 1001 Feng Chan and Traps

After this matter is settled.

Naturally, there are capable people below to do it.

With the prestige of Li Qiu and Furongyuan now, and your unsparingness, you will spend a lot of money.

Regarding the merger of the two companies and the expansion of the mansion, it went relatively smoothly.

But in the end, due to the two gentry mansions separated in the middle, they were unwilling to sell the family house.

There is still a certain distance between Duke Ying's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion of Peking.

As for construction.

At the request of the samurai Xun from the Duke's Mansion, the main focus is on grandeur and simplicity.

And the Peking Palace where Li Qiu is located.

Because the unsolved case of Zhang Xuansu and the assassin who broke into the Furong Garden at night are still at large.

Therefore, under the personal design of Li Chunfeng, Gong Shumo, Zhang Yajiu and other craftsmen.

Continue to build higher defense and security.

Prevent assassins from invading and enemy attacks.

……

As time goes by day by day.

Another New Year's Eve has finally arrived.

On this day, Li Shimin finally pleaded with his grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other important court officials.

He took off the plain robe, changed back to the dragon robe, and began to take care of the government with full power.

Due to the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it swept across the world and eliminated almost all surrounding powerful enemies.

Including many small countries along the Western Regions, they also professed their vassals and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Internally, the disaster receded and the people began to live in peace.

Looking into the future, it is also destined to move towards prosperity and prosperity.

A thriving scene.

So this year is also destined to be a year when everyone sings praises to the emperor Li Shimin.

Since the first year of Zhenguan, this Tang Dynasty has experienced too many ups and downs.

Due to internal and external troubles, powerful enemies attacked the city of Chang'an several times.

It seems that it is also very different from the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the minds of later generations.

As a monarch, Li Shimin, with all his efforts and calculations added up, probably didn't have a few days of comfort and a few good sleeps.

However, starting from this year, Datang has come a long way.

Li Shimin was also quite relieved and joyful, reviewing the praises and compliments from all sides.

First, there were gifts and visits from envoys from many vassal states.

Then, it was the table of many ministers of the imperial court.

Praise the achievements of the current Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's eternal achievements.

After all, the northern Turks were wiped out, and the Western Regions were wiped out.

The tribes of Western Turks were completely driven to the land of Western Europe.

Throughout history, it is second to none.

The territory, especially the attack on the Huns and Turks, surpassed that of the Han Dynasty.

For this kind of praise from Sifang, Li Shimin is also very happy and very happy.

At this time, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, was the first to take the lead.

I implore Li Shimin to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai.

After he picked this head, there was no other action in the entire Eastern Palace Department.

Of course, there is no need for any further action.

Just a little spark from Hanwang can start a prairie fire.

For the following ministers and relatives of the emperor.

There is simply nothing that can praise the king's achievements more than begging Li Shimin to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai.

This is the word Fengchan: build an altar with earth on Mount Tai to worship the heavens and repay the merits of the heavens, so it is called Fengchan.

This is the merit of removing the earth from the hills below Mount Tai and repaying the earth, so it is called Zen.

There is a saying in ancient books: The king is ordered, and if he changes his surname, he will be promoted to Mount Tai.

The meaning of teaching.

When he was first ordered, the system was reformed to meet the heavens, and the world was peaceful, and things became Zen, so as to proclaim peace.

Destiny is the king, so that all people can live, tell peace to the sky, and repay the merits of the gods.

So after Hanwang proposed, the royal clan Li Xiaogong, Jingwang Li Yuanjing and others proposed one after another.

I implore Li Shimin to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai.

After them, almost all the courtiers followed and went to the table together.

Sincerely speaking, I begged Li Shimin to grant Zen to Mount Tai.

Their wishes almost represent the wishes of the whole world.

For this, Li Shimin was naturally more pleased in his heart.

He is a person who has always valued his own reputation in the history books.

I am very concerned about what future generations of history think of me.

But now the Great Tang has made achievements in opening up territories and sweeping the world.

Nature is a major plus.

It would be a great thing if he could get the approval of the whole world and request Feng Chan.

So, above the court.

Faced with the face-to-face pleading of the officials, although Li Shimin agreed in his heart.

But on the surface, you still have to be reserved and show your attitude.

"Your generation all consider enshrining Zen as a grand event for the emperor, but I don't think so."

"If the world is stable and the people's families are rich, even if you don't go to Zen, what harm will it do?"

"In the past, the first emperor of Qin practiced the ceremonies of enshrining Zen, but Emperor Wen of Han did not enshrine Zen. How can later generations think that Emperor Wen is not as good as the first emperor?!"

"And to serve the heaven and sweep the earth and sacrifice, why go to the top of Mount Tai?"

"Seal a few feet of soil, and then you can show your sincerity?!"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, he wanted to refuse and welcome.

All the courtiers present knew the Holy Will very well.

The voice and attitude of imploring Li Shimin to enshrine Zen in Taishan became more and more intense.

But at this time, Wei Zheng had already been promoted to prime minister.

Once again, he stubbornly went out and stood up.

He said that he agreed with His Majesty's point of view and felt that he should not go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

His sudden move was equivalent to directly removing the stool for Li Shimin.

It made Li Shimin difficult to get off for a while.

If you want to give up Feng Chan as Wei Zheng wants, you can't bear it.

But I just symbolically expressed my idea of ​​"not wanting to go" to Feng Chan.

At this time, he got the support of Prime Minister Wei Zheng.

Naturally, he couldn't have the cheek to break his word and agree to the ministers' request for Feng Chan.

So, feeling sullen in his heart, he frowned and looked at Wei Zheng.

"You don't want me to become a Zen monk, is it because you think my achievements are not high enough?"

Wei Zheng replied very seriously at this time: "Your Majesty's achievements have been shining through the ages, so they are naturally high enough."

Li Shimin asked again at this moment, "Is my virtue not strong enough?"

Wei Zheng replied: "Your Majesty's virtue is strong enough."

"Is that the Great Tang Wei Anxie? The Siyi not subduing the evil?"

"It's safe, it's okay."

"Is that Nian Gu Wei Feng Xie? Fu Rui Wei Zhi Xie?"
