Most of them are relics from the Han Dynasty, and some are from the pre-Sui Dynasty.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was rare. The separatist regimes and wars left people with no time to look around. No matter how stupid the kings were, they would not waste time in places like Lishan.
A unified dynasty still needs to decorate its facade. The emperors built some here and there, and there are similar ruins everywhere in Kansai.
During the war in the late Sui Dynasty, many refugees entered the mountains, and these places became the places where refugees lived.
They will not be merciful to ancient ruins, so the buildings in Lishan Mountain have been greatly damaged. If you go there and take a look now, many places have been changed beyond recognition.
Li Po had no interest in taking a look. The destination of his expedition this time was the Royal Hunting Garden near Bushou Palace.
We walked eastward along the Wei River, not too far away, and we arrived.
.....................
The hunting time was set for the next day. The car drove to Bu Shou Palace, and Li Po directly led the concubines to live in.
Bushou Palace has not been so lively in several years, and the palace has been decorated in advance.
The accompanying senior officials, headed by Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yu, began to work with Yuchi Gong, Ashina Rongzhen and others to arrange the guards and everyone's food and accommodation.
Emperor Li Po just wanted to relax, so he took Li Bi and Astonian Xiang around for a tour of the palace.
There are many large and small palaces and gardens around Chang'an. The Xishan Palace he took people to before was actually located in the Taiping Palace, southwest of Chang'an and at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
I came to Bu Shou Palace again today. Everything happened this autumn, which shows that after the princes were pacified, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty gradually stabilized, so the emperor also had some free time and could have some other entertainment activities.
Walking side by side with Li Bi in the palace, Ashina Tianxiang, who had become quite plump after giving birth, was chirping behind her.
"It's a pity that Aunt Li went to Luoyang. Otherwise, if she had come to play with us, it would have been much more lively than now. I don't know what is so good about Luoyang that so many people will never forget."
Wang Zhen continued, "The Eastern Capital is certainly not comparable to ordinary big cities. When I was there, although there was some chaos in the city, when the peonies bloomed in Luoyang, the city was filled with fragrance. Regardless of high or low, old or young, all dressed in new clothes, went to Luoyang.
The Flower Fair is a place to enjoy flowers, and its liveliness and prosperity are not inferior to those during the Lantern Festival.
There are also those Buddhist meetings where great sages lecture on the Dharma, and people flock to them..."
As she spoke, the circles under her eyes turned a little red. This was because she was homesick. She was born in Jiangdu and lived in Luoyang for many years. She had no feelings for the Wang family in Ba City and instead considered Dongdu her home.
Ashina Tianxiang and Gao Baoer immediately whispered comfort. They have been playing together for many years and their relationship is really good. They wonder if they will stage exciting palace fights like normal palace concubines in the future.
Li Bi looked back at the three of them, smiled and whispered: "I still remember Li Chun. I don't know what methods Li Chun used to win over them. They have been bullied by Li Chun in the past."
Li Poxin said, I know a lot about Stockholm Syndrome...
"They... were taken by Li Chun, and they went everywhere to have fun all day long, but they just got together in one place? Look at Tianxiang, who is already a mother, but she is still so noisy.
It's better for you to be steady, otherwise the palace may be burned by them. You should watch your children closely and don't let them lead you astray."
Li Bi was very happy to be coaxed by him. She picked up Li Zhen who was following her and asked with a smile, "Tell me, did your mother hit you again?"
Li Zhen chuckled and hugged her neck, getting very close to her, "My mother-in-law has changed to a cane. It hurts to hit her. I don't dare to make her angry again. It's been a long time since I've been beaten."
Li Po asked her, "How long is long?"
Li Zhen was a little embarrassed. He twirled his fingers on Li Bi and couldn't figure it out for a long time. This look was indeed very similar to Li Yuan. "I can't figure it out either. Anyway, my mother-in-law kicked me that day, and she never did it again."
Hit me."
There is no need to explain too much about the tragic childhood. You can tell at a glance that this child has been beaten...
She turned her little face and said to her father seriously: "Master, Master Yan has been promoted, will he no longer hit his brother? Then if my brother is naughty, can I help Master Yan beat him?"
At this time, Li Yuan was following his parents boredly, thinking that things would be fine in the future, so he went to find a few of his friends and prepared bows and arrows so that they could show off their skills together tomorrow.
His sister's words made him raise his head, and everyone around him laughed, but he just wanted to stuff this sister back into his mother's womb.
Li Bi didn't think there was anything wrong with her son, but asked curiously, "Why did you hit your brother? Did he offend you?"
Li Yuan felt a dull pain in his butt and glared at his sister, silently threatening her not to talk nonsense.
Li Zhen waved his already very powerful little arms, "I want to be a teacher and hit others. When my mother-in-law sees that I am capable, she will not hit me again."
Everyone laughed, this reason is indeed very powerful...
Li Bi patted Li Zhen lovingly, "The same goes for Rong Zhen. Look what she has done to the child? You didn't even say to take care of her."
Li Po laughed and said, "It's good. My son is rough-skinned and thick-bodied. What's wrong with the two beatings? I'm afraid they haven't suffered enough. They've been flattered all day long and they don't know how high the world is when they grow up."
Having a younger sister or elder sister often kicks their butts, letting them know that no one is perfect, and no matter how good they are in life, there will still be shortcomings. This is the common sense of the world, rather than the favored one who should take advantage of everything.
Come here, son, do you think what grandpa said makes sense?"
The innocent Li Yuan was finally carried out. He blinked his big eyes and looked at his father with a blank expression. He muttered, "Grandpa, my aunt is very obedient in front of you. Shouldn't my sister also be obedient in front of my son?"
some?"
Well, that makes sense.
Although the children are still young and don't look very smart, they have actually begun to have ideas. In fact, they are quite similar to their father in mind, and each one of them can tell some nonsense.
Li Po patted his son on the shoulder encouragingly and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, even if my sister is not very well-behaved, you still have to take good care of her. Men, just have to be more generous."
I gave my son a mouthful of chicken soup, and he started to feel happy.
He doesn't often get along with his children, and they are full of fun when they stay together occasionally. But if the time lasts a little longer, he will probably get bored and wish he could bring his two biological flesh and blood back together.
.....................
Bu Shou Palace is not big, and the arrival of a large group of people will test its endurance.
Many people were squeezed to the outskirts of the palace and could only set up camp on the edge of the Wei River. There was nothing to do during the day, but when the cool breeze blew at night, a group of people suddenly shivered from the cold.
In the evening, Li Po held a banquet with his accompanying ministers and ordered him to paint a picture of the Tang emperor's autumn hunting.
This must be a series that will test **Ben's skills.
**Ben has been appointed as the painter of Lingyan Pavilion, and is responsible for painting Chinese civil and military portraits in Lingyan Pavilion. Previously, due to Du Fuwei's strange request, the DPRK and the Central Government relaxed restrictions in this regard.
Some people were quite excited, but in view of the identity and background of King Wu Li Fuwei, most of them did not dare to follow the trend, and they still handed over their portraits to ** Ben for production.
By the end of August, Lingyan Pavilion had actually been built and was waiting for everyone to move in.
Even though Lingyan Pavilion was of great importance to the founding ministers, in the eyes of the craftsmen, it was actually just a small project that could be completed in one month.
The amount of work could not even keep up with the construction of a palace in the palace.
On the contrary, the merit forest in the north of the city needs to be carefully considered. The many inscriptions not only require inscriptions by celebrities, but also require skilled craftsmen. This year can only be regarded as the beginning, and the completion date is far away.
.....................
At the banquet, Du Yan, the Minister of Rites, said: "Your Majesty has great talents and great ambitions. He can pacify the princes and is praised by the world.
Today, I am leading my ministers and others on a trip with great momentum, but the palace is so simple and crude. How can it be worthy of His Majesty’s wisdom? It is better to rebuild one or two of them to show the peace of the world."
There were many people at the banquet who nodded in agreement.
This guy obviously didn't drink too much. Since Li Po came to the throne, he has never built a palace, and he is not willing to use civilian services on a large scale. This is something that all the courtiers know.
So what everyone preached was the simplicity of the emperor.
But now that the war has stopped and major infrastructure projects have gradually begun, some courtiers have begun to think about it.
Feeling that it's time to decorate the facade, they suggested building a palace as a test. If the emperor was happy to accept it, they would then persuade the emperor to expand the palace in Chang'an.
In addition, you can even conduct a large-scale selection...
After the emperor has made achievements, he should naturally enjoy them. If the emperor never stops, how can your ministers dare to accept wives and concubines and build luxurious houses and beautiful houses?
Du Yanzhi's words were not just for the emperor's consideration, he was speaking for everyone.
During the war, everyone lived frugally and the nobles lived a very difficult life. Now that the Tang Dynasty has been established for several years and there are signs of prosperity, some people think it is time to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Li Po felt like he was aware that Du Yan was talking "gossip" over a drink today, but if he showed any signs of happiness, his case would be filled with memorials tomorrow.
There is no need to hesitate, this evil trend must be suppressed severely.
A bright smile slowly appeared on his face, but a knife was held out of his mouth.
"I remember that you have a separate courtyard near Bushou Palace, right? Isn't it time to repair it? Why don't I take you and others to have a look tomorrow to see if the place where our Minister Du lives is worse than mine? That’s why I’m saying what I’m saying today.
Haha, you have a breeze in your sleeves, I don’t think it will be like this, don’t you think so?”
The hall suddenly became quiet. Du Yan's face turned blue and red, and he quickly bowed and apologized. He was punished in court. This was a big joke.
