The country is not as pretty as the beauty

During the Kaiyuan period, Su Dao continued to be the prime minister because of his meritorious service, and he was still the Duke of the Dasu Dynasty. The emperor trusted him so much that no one in the court could match him for a while.

Since the change of the first emperor, the emperor has been very cautious about the power ministers, Su Dao also understood, and acted with extreme caution.

Su Dao was an upright official, and his wife's funeral was extremely simple. Although the prime minister's wife was a princess, the emperor acquiesced in simplicity and did not pursue anything.

The imperial city moved back to Chang'an, Su Dao stayed in Luoyang for a while, and was recalled to Chang'an by the emperor.

Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an City has been much more ordinary these years. The ups and downs of Luoyang City are always accompanied by great changes in the world.

The young emperor was born in Luoyang and grew up in Luoyang. After several incidents, he always felt that Luoyang was not stable, so he moved his capital back to Chang'an.

On the carriage, Su Dao was going back to Chang'an. The carriage was very ordinary, but many people recognized that it was the prime minister's carriage and gave way one after another.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is back."

"Xuan."

Su Dao saluted, and the emperor himself helped him up, "Su Qing is here, so I don't have to worry about Luoyang."

"Luoyang is well connected to all directions. Your Majesty should send trusted people to guard it." Su Dao reminded the emperor that the reason why the Empress established her capital in Luoyang was not without reason.

"I understand that my father's birthday is about to come, and I have made up my mind to call Su Qing back."

But no, Su Dao could see clearly, what the Son of Heaven meant was that although the Wei family was eradicated, most of the ministers in the previous court were loyal ministers of the late emperor. There is abdication, and now the foundation of the new emperor is not stable.

Su Dao was already the elder of the three dynasties, he had made profound achievements in the dynasties, and was respected by many people. This is the reason why the emperor relied on him.

Su Dao handed over the booklet, "The Supreme Emperor is old and bored in the palace. Old people like to watch young people dance and sing songs. When I was young, I saw people combining dances and songs and chanting. It's like a play."

"play?"

"Your Majesty wants to reflect the love between father and son, and embody His Majesty's filial piety, so let Hanlin write a story about the first emperor, so that the palace people can practice!"

The new emperor is smart, so he understands what Su Dao said, "Is the first emperor and Mr. Fusu?"

Su Dao nodded.

"When the first emperor was critically ill, his mind was still on Fusu, but there were treacherous people."

"But Mr. Fu Su is willing to sacrifice his life rather than against his father." Su Dao's words made the emperor look directly at him.

"Okay, what a play, Su Qing is really talented."

"His Majesty praises you!"

"Many old mansions in Chang'an have been unoccupied for decades."

"It can be arranged to renovate the mansion or demolish it. Chang'an does not occupy a large area, but it has a large number of people, most of which are occupied by these mansions."

"I have this intention, so I will leave it to Su Qing to deal with it."

"only!"

Coming out of the Daming Palace, dealing with the old mansions was a troublesome matter. These mansions were all princes and nobles of the previous dynasty. It would be disrespectful to openly demolish them, and they would be criticized by others.

But Su Dao was different.

"Go to the princess mansion." Su Dao said in the car.

The old coachman is an old man who is very familiar with Chang'an and Luoyang. Even if the coachman doesn't know, the maid next to him also knows. The maid is the prime minister's wife's personal maid, and now Su Dao brings her with him.

In Chang'an, there is only one princess mansion.

Get out of the car, after the empress abdicated, no one cleaned the mansion, and he hasn't returned to Chang'an for more than ten years.

Chang'an City remains the same, only these buildings are slowly getting old, just like him.

If it weren't for the words "Princess's Mansion" on the plaque, how many younger generations would know that this place used to be the Princess's Mansion.

The seals are all rotten.

Many people in Chang'an have never met the prime minister, and the prime minister's reputation is well known in Dasu.

But the people who can serve the three dynasties must not depend on integrity and honesty. The emperor wants more than just such people.

A few teahouses in the distance were filled with people who were watching the carriage.

The prime minister's wife died last year, and Hua has no children for 40 years, and there is no continuation, let alone a wife.

But he is jealous of some families who want to climb the powerful.

The desolation of the princess is not a day or two, "20 years later, people will go to the building."

It just rained yesterday, and the mansion smelled extremely musty. There were a lot of weeds growing in the front yard, the soil remained undiminished, and the road was still very muddy.

Su Dao looked at the tree in front of him, his eyes were rosy.

"More than 20 years have passed..." That winter, even though there were some dead branches, the vitality of the tree was still in full bloom, and the life span of the tree was much longer than that of humans.

It's early spring and the tree looks dead for years.

What impresses my eyes are the memories here more than 20 years ago, when the wind and snow were in full swing in Chang'an.

Walking under the tree unconsciously, Su Dao was wearing a red round-neck court dress, and black boots stepped on the wet soil. In some places, there were moss and weeds. The gravity on the feet squeezed a layer of muddy water, and the black boots The next layer of white has been dyed yellow, covering the boots.

More than 20 years ago, he was still a great person who thought he could play with a few merchants, and he was very arrogant.

She helped herself to occupy all the markets in Chang'an step by step, and made this third young master Su famous.

He didn't understand at that time, he thought the purpose of doing this was to be worthy of her princess status.

"Princess, princess, did you ever know that when Li Chunfeng said that I was destined to be a son-in-law..."

"Consort!"

When Su Dao was talking to himself, the servant girl came over. Su Dao is the prime minister of a country, the king of a dynasty, this place is really unlucky.

Su Dao smiled wryly, "Su Wei never thought that this son-in-law is someone else's son-in-law."

Today's Su Dao doesn't need anyone's guidance. Didn't the world change because of him?

"The princess wants a peaceful and prosperous world, and Su works so hard. Has the princess seen it?"

Su Dao's words were overheard by the maid, who thought the prime minister was missing his dead wife.

Ten days later, the uninhabited palace and the major mansions were demolished to make room for the expansion of the market.

When the booklet was handed over to the emperor, the emperor was very satisfied.

"Look, Su Qing, this is a script written by those scholars in Hanlin, let's see how it goes."

The emperor's personal eunuch handed the book to Su Dao, and Su Dao nodded after reading it, "Very good, but your majesty needs to be careful in choosing candidates, there are many people in the palace who can sing and dance, this is second, the most important thing is emotion. "

The emperor nodded, "I have always liked these."

The third son of Prince Yu, was famous for his talents before he became king, and loved poetry the most. He has many people who can play and sing by his side, and now he has arranged them to be in the music department.

"You handled the demolition of Chang'an very well, but..."

The emperor stared at Su Dao, and Su Dao understood why.

"Although the eldest princess's mansion is old, it was built by His Majesty Taizong himself after all. Nowadays, people are praising His Majesty Taizong's achievements in governing the country. His Majesty has not long been on the throne, and he also said that he will follow His Majesty Taizong's example. Therefore, I think that the eldest princess should not be demolished."

"That being said, it will take a lot of effort to renovate a building that has been built for many years."

"His Majesty Taizong advocates frugality, and the princess's mansion is not big, so there is no need for His Majesty to tear it down or repair it."

"Keep?"

Su Dao nodded, "Keep it, Your Majesty will give you a plaque again, and the world will think that your Majesty respects Emperor Taizong and uses the mansion as a mark."

The emperor snorted coldly, "I want to imitate Taizong, but I'm not just pretending."

"My minister understands that His Majesty has the heart to govern the country and the people, and also has the demeanor of Emperor Taizong."

In the end, the Princess Mansion was still not demolished, and the emperor gave the plaque again and reorganized the Princess Mansion.

The author has something to say: this is a continuation of the previous one, almost 90 words long.
