"Confucius said: There is a word that can be practiced for life, and he screamed! Do not do to others what you do not want. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am rich in the world, and I speak well. I must not be extravagant and waste money. I have to follow You love your ministers, be diligent and thrifty, and lead by example."

"In this way, my Great Tang will last forever."

The words fall.

The Chinese and military officials in the hall looked at Li Er's eyes with great admiration.

It has been five years since Li Er succeeded to the throne, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty has been expanded by nearly half. The politics is clear, the military is strong, and the borders are stable.

But he still didn't build a palace, except for the Jiulin Palace built for Li Yuan.

Even that one was renovated, not newly built.

some time ago.

Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said that according to the "Book of Rites", at the end of the summer season, the emperor should live on a high platform.

Gao Shilian was afraid of the scorching heat in late summer and heavy rain in autumn, and the palace was low-lying, and Li Er suffered from mild gas disease and rheumatism, so he suggested that Li Er build a pavilion for himself.

But Li Er insisted on refusing. He said that during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Wen planned to build an open-air pavilion, so he asked craftsmen to plan it. The craftsman said that it would cost a hundred gold to build this small terrace.

Emperor Hanwen thought about it again, a hundred gold?That was equivalent to the property of ten households in the city, so they gave up the idea of ​​building a terrace.

Li Er said to Gao Shilian, "My virtue is not as good as that of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. Why did I pay him several times the money to build the pavilion?"So Li Er rejected Gao Shilian's kind words.

Gao Shilian refused to give up, and Li Er rejected his remonstrance several times.

Gao Shilian had no choice but to let this matter go.

It can also be seen from this that Li Er's thrifty heart.

This is also where Qin Mu agrees with Li Er more, he has the appearance of a sage and a wise master.

The era of the supremacy of the ancient imperial power.

Li Er's ability to keep so many admonishers by his side is enough to explain everything.

Companion to a gentleman is like companion to a tiger, that's really not just casual talk.

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

It's a common thing to anger the emperor, copy your whole family, and destroy your three clans.

at the same time.

Wei Zheng stepped forward with moist eyes, he was also touched by Li Er today.

"Your Majesty has always cared for the people, tempered himself, and followed the hearts of the people. This is the blessing of the people of Tang Dynasty."

"There is an old saying: Those who want to follow others will prosper, and those who enjoy others will perish. In the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was extravagant, greedy, extortionate, and a master of rites and music, and a craftsman of the palace. Sentenced to death."

"What is good at the top is bad for the bottom. Comparing the top and the bottom, without restraint, how can a country not go to ruin? This is not recorded in the book, but it is the common witness of His Majesty and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty."

"Didn't Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty fall because of lewdness and immorality, levies and extortion from the common people? This is also the reason why His Majesty won the world."

"If Your Majesty feels satisfied, then what His Majesty has now is enough to satisfy His Majesty. If Your Majesty feels dissatisfied, then even if it is a thousand times more luxurious, His Majesty still feels dissatisfied."

I heard this.

All the Chinese and military officials in the hall couldn't help sighing secretly, it was Duke Wei after all.

Even at this time, when you praise His Majesty, you still don't forget to give His Majesty a little reinforcement.

Li Er was overjoyed when he heard this, although when Wei Zheng praised him, he even broadcast a few words about him.

But Wei Zheng didn't often flatter him.

For Wei Zheng to praise Li Er so much, he already recognized him very much.

"What Wei Aiqing said is good, it makes sense."

"Today, I am very pleased. There are so many ministers of the country in this court, who set an example for me and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. I am very happy."

"Wang De."

"I'm humble."

"Let's drive to Cen Wenwen's mansion, today I will visit these poor and heroic officials of the country one by one."

"The humble leader."

Followed by.

Let's go early.

Li Er led the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and the others went straight to Cen Wenwen's mansion.

Although today he is not called Qin Mu.

But Qin Mu still consciously kept up.

He also wanted to see what kind of poor life these people lived.

If so.

The imperial court is obliged to build some houses for them.

I can live a simple life, but the place where I live, the rain is probably a bit too difficult.

halfway.

Seeing Qin Mu following beside him, Li Er was a little surprised.

"Qin Mu?"

"Which gust of wind brought you here today?"

"You are the largest merchant in the world, with golden mountains and silver seas, and the wealth of the world, even I want to borrow money from you."

"Why? Are you also interested in Cen Wenwen's dilapidated and leaky house?"

heard.

Qin Mu looked at Li Er and said calmly, "Your Majesty, your words are more or less mixed with personal grievances."

Uh......

Li Er was left speechless by Qin Mu's words.

The people around heard this and couldn't help laughing secretly.

to be frank.

Li Er's words were indeed mixed with a lot of personal grievances.

"Look at what you said." Li Er frowned slightly, and said in a deep thought: "As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am upright and unselfish. When I talk to you, do I need to bring personal grudges?"

Chapter 7 and Two: Li Er's Visit (3/5)

at this time.

Li Chengqian on the side couldn't listen anymore, and said slowly: "Father, although the teacher is rich in the world, he has never been extravagant and extravagant."

"The mansion he lives in was bought when he entered and exited Chang'an City. For some merchants in the city, it is considered a very ordinary house."

"Moreover, there are not many servants and maids in the teacher's mansion, and there are no extravagant things in life."

"However, every time there is a natural disaster, it can be seen that the teacher is rich and powerful, and he has never been stingy in spending money for the people."

I heard this.

Everyone was silent.

What Li Chengqian said was not wrong at all.

It seems.

There are even more personal grievances mixed with Li Er.

It is indeed a bit excessive.

"Tsk..." Li Er's face was filled with anger, "Look at you, didn't I say nothing? Why are you in a hurry."

Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted.

"Yes, my son knows his mistake."

"I hope that the emperor will not be offended."

Li Chengqian is very smart, every time he disagrees with Li Er, he always argues only once, and then admits his mistake without arguing.

What made Li Er feel like hitting cotton with his fist every time, and he had nowhere to exert his strength.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Er couldn't say anything more.

He just gave Qin Mu a hard look.

Qin Mu looked at Li Er angry, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he didn't care about him.

Who would have the same experience as an angry emperor?

Soon.

Everyone came to Cen Wenwen's mansion.

The location of his mansion is not bad, but this mansion.

It can't be called a mansion.

A broken house is more appropriate.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward and opened the courtyard door.

creak...

The courtyard door opened in response, and the two animal face rings on the door had weathered and rusted.

When the door opened, there was a piercing sound, telling the simplicity of the door.

at the same time.

Cen Wenwen's wife, Cen Li, ran out of the house.

"Who is it?"

Before the person appeared, the voice came out first.

Mrs. Cen Li ran to the door, looked at so many people, her face was flustered, her heart was startled, and the rolling pin in her hand unconsciously clenched a little bit.

"Who... who are you?"

"What are you doing in Cen's residence?"

Changsun Wuji hurried forward, "My lord, Changsun Wuji, has met Mrs. Cen."

Then he pointed behind him.

"This is Your Majesty. Your Majesty came to visit after learning that Mr. Cen broke his leg."

Snapped!

The rolling pin in Cen Li's hand fell to the ground, at a loss what to do, he hurried forward to salute.

"Min... Min daughter sees Your Majesty, I hope His Majesty forgives Min daughter for being rude."

"Hehe..." Li Er smiled, "It's okay, Jing Ren can rest indoors?"

Mrs. Cen Li hurriedly responded, "Go back to Your Majesty, my husband is recuperating in the house."

"I didn't expect Husband's injury to alarm His Majesty."

Li Er hurriedly waved his hand.

"There's no need to be alarmed or not. Jing Ren has always been upright and honest, and he works hard. He was injured, and I should come to visit him. That's what I should do."

Followed by.

Cen Li led Li Er and his party into the house.

The small courtyard where Cen Wenwen lives is really not big, there are two wing rooms in the east and west, and four in the main room. The courtyard is extremely clean.

But no matter how clean it is, it can't hide the dilapidation of the courtyard. The walls in the courtyard are mottled and potholed.

"Ma'am, who is visiting?"

Cen Wenwen's voice came from inside the house.
