Chapter 131 1 Ordinary man-made is not good
Chapter 131
With Li Shimin's order, all the flowers in the palace suffered disaster.
Not only the precious flower seeds in the palace garden were all pulled out, but even those trees that could bloom were also cut down.
Most of the flowers, plants and trees planted in the entire palace did not survive the disaster.
Even the courtyards where the concubines and princesses lived were cut down, which can be described as a mess.
Those concubines and princesses didn't even know the reason. Looking at their messy yard, they wanted to cry but had no tears.
The Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun lived was given special attention.
When she heard the news, Empress Changsun asked the eunuch who came, "Who told you to come to the courtyard of my palace to pull flowers and cut trees?"
Those eunuchs just came here under orders, how could they know the reason, when the eldest grandson questioned the empress, they said submissively: "Empress, Your Majesty ordered to cut off all the flowers in the entire palace, and the slaves don't know the reason."
Empress Changsun did not embarrass the eunuchs after hearing this, and said, "Do as you wish."
She can intervene forcibly, but it will go against Li Shimin's order.
Although Li Shimin would not blame her, she would not do it.
After the Empress Changsun finished speaking, she left the Lizheng Hall directly and went to Li Shimin's study.
……
Li Shimin was thinking about what Lin Xuan said, when Li Mu came over to report: "Your Majesty, the empress is here."
"Let her in quickly." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got up quickly.
"Guanyin maidservant, why are you running around with such a big only son?" Li Shimin blamed after helping the eldest grandson queen to sit down.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has already given birth to five children for His Majesty, and they are not so delicate."
Li Shimin stared at Empress Changsun and said: "You still say, when you gave birth to Chengyang, the imperial doctor said that having a child is too much burden for you, and I said no to this pregnancy, and you still insist on giving birth." (Empress Changsun gave birth to three sons and four daughters. Everyone knows the sons, and the daughters are Changle, Chengyang, Jinyang, and Xincheng. Chengyang is the one who married Du He.)
Empress Changsun said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine's body is known to the concubine, so it's fine."
She knew that her body was destined not to be with Li Shimin all the time, so she wanted to have more children to accompany Li Shimin instead of her, but she would not tell Li Shimin what she said.
Li Shimin said angrily: "You know? What do you know? Let me tell you, this is the last time, and you are not allowed to do it again."
Empress Changsun grabbed Li Shimin's hand and said with a smile, "Erlang, I understand."
At this moment, she did not call Li Shimin His Majesty, nor did she call her a concubine.
Li Shimin shuddered when he heard this title. When Empress Changsun married him at the age of 13, she called him that.
As his status became higher and higher, Empress Changsun has been supporting him silently behind his back, but the title 'Erlang' is being called less and less.
Li Shimin grasped the hand of Empress Changsun tightly, and said: "Guanyin maidservant, I am really afraid that you will leave before me, promise me, after giving birth to this, I will never give birth again."
At this moment, Li Shimin is no longer the ambitious Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Tian Khan, but a husband who is worried about his wife.
Empress Changsun stretched out her hand, gently stroked Li Shimin's face, and said with a smile, "Erlang, I listen to you."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Okay, just promise."
The two stayed together for a long time before Li Shimin asked, "Guanyin maidservant, are you here to see me for something?"
Only then did Empress Changsun remember the purpose of her coming here, and said with a smile: "The concubine almost forgot, the concubine wanted to ask His Majesty, why did you order people to cut down all the things that can grow flowers in the palace?"
Li Shimin said: "This is what Lin Xuan told me, saying that the pollen has an effect on your qi disease, so I asked someone to chop it all up."
Empress Changsun sighed and said: "Your Majesty, let's not say whether this matter is true or not. Just for the concubines, they cut down all the flowers, plants and trees in the yards of the concubines and princesses. How would they think of the concubines?"
Li Shimin said indifferently: "I have thought about it carefully, every year when the flowers bloom, your illness attacks are indeed a little more than usual. Don't care about other people's opinions. All these people are useless. You are important to me. , who dares to gossip, I will drive them out of the palace directly."
Empress Changsun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if you do this, where will you put your concubines? In the history books, can't you write your concubines as women who bring disaster to the country and the people?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "That's just right, anyway, I will definitely bear a lifetime of infamy, and we are a perfect match."
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin helplessly, she knew that Li Shimin would not listen to her on this matter.
……
The next day, Lin Xuan was drawing blueprints in the study, and Chunyue led Wu Ke, the concierge, into the room.
Lin Xuan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Xingli said: "My lord, there is a man named Xu Guangfu outside asking to see you."
Xu Guangfu?
Lin Xuan thought about it carefully, and then remembered that it was the head arrester from the Chang'an county government yesterday.
"Bring him here! Lin Xuan ordered."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Wu Ke led Xu Guangfu over.
"I've seen the Sir!" Xu Guangfu saluted.
Lin Xuan signaled Wu Ke to go down, ordered Chunyue to serve tea, and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk!"
After Xu Guangfu sat down, Lin Xuan said, "Since you are willing to come, you are willing to follow me?"
Xu Guangfu said seriously: "The little one is willing to go through fire and water for him, and he will do whatever he wants."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to do this, what I like is your cleverness, and I want you to help me with some things."
"Yes, no matter what Sir Alexis tells him, the little one will do his best for him," Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with Xu Guangfu's attitude, and asked, "How much is your salary in the county government?"
"The small salary is not much, only five hundred cash." Xu Guangfu said.
His salary is not much, but with some other income, it's not a problem to make a few bucks a month, but he can't tell Lin Xuan about these.
Lin Xuan also knew that he must have some gray income, so he didn't point it out, and said with a smile: "I'll give you five pens a month."
"Thank you Sir!" Xu Guangfu was overjoyed.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I'll put my ugly words first. You have done a good job. You will be rewarded for everything during the New Year and holidays. But if you want to reach out indiscriminately, don't blame me for being rude." Lin Xuan was about to beat Xu Guangfu.
This man's cleverness is cleverness, I'm afraid he used it in the wrong place.
Xu Guangfu said hastily: "My lord, don't worry, the little one must be honest."
Yesterday he saw that Lin Xuan and Cheng Chumo had a very good relationship. If he messed up, there would be no place for him in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Lin Xuan nodded and asked, "Do you know anything about building houses?"
"The young one doesn't understand, but the young one once supervised others to build houses." Xu Guangfu said.
"It's enough to be able to supervise. I drew a blueprint here, and I'll tell you again, you can find someone to help me build it." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan hadn't finished drawing the drawing, but it was almost done. He carefully introduced some points that need attention to Xu Guangfu.
"How? Can it be done well?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Guangfu frowned and said, "My lord, this is the first time I've seen a house built like this. I'm afraid your house can't be built well by ordinary people."
