Chapter 238 Face Head
"The Supreme Emperor intends to move to live in Hongyi Palace."
East Palace, outside the Lizheng Hall, Qin Lang came to visit Empress Changsun, they sat on the porch outside the hall, accompanied by several princes and princesses playing. Chong Xianchong has already had the winter vacation, which is also Qin Lang's proposal, to have a one-month vacation each year during the summer and winter, and also to give these students some vacation time.
Li Lizhi took the gift Qin Lang gave her to show off to her sisters. It was a comic strip drawn by Qin Lang with Lizhi as the protagonist. The Q version of the stick figure is cute and the story is very exciting and interesting. Lizhi likes it very much .
"Your Majesty said at the beginning that the Taishang Emperor is here, and the Taiji Palace will be occupied by the Taishang Emperor." Empress Changsun said in a low voice. However, the emperor still lived in the East Palace, and many officials said that they should respectfully ask the Supreme Emperor to move to another palace, so that the emperor could be seated in the Taiji Palace.
It's just that Li Shimin said that at the beginning, and he is not easy to go back on his word. I don't know who got wind of it with the Supreme Emperor, but now the Supreme Emperor offered to move to Hongyi Palace where Li Shimin used to live.
This is a good thing, but the emperor still hesitated.
"The Zhenguan Dynasty is about to begin, and it is very good for the Supreme Emperor to do so."
"However, Hongyi Palace is relatively small, simple and remote." Empress Changsun said, she and the emperor lived in Hongyi Palace for several years after they moved out from Chengqian Palace. .
Qin Lang smiled.
"Actually, if it was originally in the name of avoiding disasters and eating, it would be good for His Majesty and the court to move to Luoyang. If Luoyang is the eastern capital and Chang'an is the western capital, then there will be no such embarrassment."
"Your Majesty also has his plans. Besides, after Wang Shichong was defeated, all the palaces in Luoyang have been demolished. If the imperial court moved to Luoyang, there would be no palaces and government offices. If it is rebuilt, it will cost a lot." Changsun explained.
Qin Lang also knew the situation in Luoyang, but after Li Shimin conquered Luoyang, he only moved a few main halls in Luoyang, and the other palaces were basically sealed off and preserved. Luoyang can still be used as an accompanying capital, and it can be done with a simple repair.
He felt that Li Shimin still dared not leave Chang'an for the time being due to reasons such as political stability.
"The Supreme Emperor said that he hadn't seen you for a long time to play cards in Taiji Palace, and that he missed you."
Qin Lang was helpless.
"Recently, I'm really in a bit of a state of distress. Besides, because of the matter of Princess Danyang, I don't have the guts to go to Taiji Palace now. I'm afraid that the Supreme Emperor will kill me with a knife."
The eldest grandson was also a little helpless, the incident in Danyang was really bad, she believed in Qin Lang's innocence, but sometimes people's words were scary. Speaking of it, it is actually a little strange that the emperor and Qin Lang were not at odds with each other. If there hadn't been the initial gift of marriage, it is estimated that the previous incident would not have happened.
"Actually, I heard some bad news, and I dare not report it." Qin Lang said.
"Speak straight up."
Qin Lang had no choice but to say bluntly, "According to the news, during the period when Princess Danyang was in confinement, monks often came in and out secretly. According to the investigation, it was a young monk from the Inspiration Temple who often went in and out pretending to be a nun, and... Reliable news, Princess Danyang has already been conceived!"
As soon as the news came out, Empress Changsun turned pale with shock.
After a long time, she lowered her voice, "Are you sure?"
"Basically you can't go wrong."
"It's too nonsense." Changsun Qi's lips trembled, this Danyang was too messy. Doing this kind of thing will ruin the reputation of the royal family.
"Hurry up and take down that monk."
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has a secret knot in her womb. It won't take long to hide this matter. In a few months, her belly will bulge and she will reveal her secrets." He reminded the queen that the son-in-law Xue Wanche will still be the governor of Hangzhou, and Xue Wanche The last time I left Beijing, I was in a hurry, and the eldest princess was still a virgin.
Old Xue wore a fake green hat last time, but now this hat is indeed so green that it can’t be any greener. If Lao Xue knew it, he would really bleed with anger.
"Your Majesty, I am now an envoy of transshipment, not an envoy of consolation. I have no right to take someone away." Qin Lang revealed this matter to the queen because he heard that Danyang had a lot of resentment towards him, and he had nothing to do with him. After the monk in Lingling Temple became pregnant, he once told the people around him that after the child was born, he would tell the outside world that it was Qin Lang's.
Isn't this injustice?
The Zhen Fusi also had a hidden stake beside Danyang, and the hidden stake was reported to Wei Chang immediately afterward. The relationship between Wei Chang and Qin Lang was unusual, and even though the two were no longer superiors and subordinates, they still secretly informed Qin Lang Lang.
This kind of thing is not easy to deal with by Zhen Fusi, Qin Lang had no choice but to come and talk to the queen first.
The eldest grandson was also decisive, and immediately took a pen and wrote an edict to Qin Lang, "Take this to the Zhen Fusi, send someone to take down the obscene monk, interrogate him strictly, and return it to me."
Qin Lang received the order.
"Yesterday, during the discussion in the Xiande Palace, you were impeached by Feng Ping, are you alright?" the eldest grandson said worriedly. Calling Qin Lang today is actually asking about this matter.
Although yesterday's court meeting was fruitless because the emperor ended the meeting early, the eldest grandson also heard the evil here.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will always provoke people when I do things. As long as I do things straight, I will not be afraid of the shadows. When I do things for the court, I consider the interests of the court and Your Majesty. As long as it is right , the minister is willing to charge forward, willing to risk the arrow!"
"Your Majesty knows the loyalty of your father and son, but sometimes you have to pay attention to the way you do things, and you have to cherish your body when you do things. If you don't save your body, how can this be done? You are not young, the more cautious you are. The reform One thing will move the whole body, you must make a decision before you move, you can't be too hasty, one by one, start from the small and light, and take your time!"
"Thank you, Empress Empress, for your guidance!"
"If the members of the political affairs hall really have big opinions, maybe His Majesty has to suspend the plan, and you may also be affected. If you bear the grievances at that time, don't complain." The queen said again.
"Don't you know that the minister is your majesty's pawn, whoever you want to fight. If your majesty says to fight, the minister will rush. If your majesty says to retreat, the minister will retreat."
The eldest grandson couldn't help admiring it. He is young and dares to rush, but he is not a single-minded person. Such a courtier is indeed rare.
"I understand!"
On the way out of the East Palace, Qin Lang was thinking about the meaning of today's summoning, not the emperor's summoning but the queen's summoning, but after saying these things, there is no doubt that this summoning was actually the emperor's original intention.
It seems that there is indeed a lot of resistance in the court. Wang Gui and Wei Zheng took the lead in the charge, followed closely by Dai Zhou, Sun Fujia, Wei Ting, and others. The momentum is indeed great.
Li Shimin didn't dare to go his own way anymore. It seems that things will come to fruition for a while, but just because Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Du haven't made a statement yet, it can be shown that Li Shimin and the core team have reached a preliminary agreement , They supported Qin Lang's charge, but now there are many people who oppose it, so they quietly observed there.
However, Qin Lang is not afraid of being sacrificed, because he believes that Li Shimin has no other choice. Right now, only his strategies can meet Li Shimin's needs, and are the fastest and most effective.
Li Shimin wanted disaster relief, destroyed the capital of Liangshi, and prepared to fight the Turks, so he wanted to maintain the imperial army, train the military officers, and rectify the government soldiers. All of these are inseparable from money, a large amount of money. Apart from Qin Lang's methods, no one could make so much money.
Riding on the head of the leopard, Qin Lang nodded his thanks to the people in front of the hall, and rode away.
The front office of the palace is the new yamen established by the emperor, commanding the left and right Qianniuwei. The establishment of the Dianqian Division actually improved the emperor's control over the Six Armies of the Beiya. Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the Baiqi Division controlled the left and right Habayashi Army, and the Zhenfu Division in the outer city controlled the left and right Jinwu Guards. There are Qianniuwei on the left and right, and there is also a commander in front of the palace.
Changsun Wuji is now concurrently serving as the envoy of the Dianqian Division, while the deputy envoy is a eunuch, an old man in the Emperor Qin's palace.
Qin Lang secretly admired the emperor's skill, so he rode a horse all the way to Fusi Yamen in Pingkangfang Town.
After entering the Yamen, I went to visit Zhang Liang first.
"Did Sanlang ask me to visit those bald donkeys again?" Zhang Liang said with a smile, but Qin Lang could hear that there was something in his laughter. After a lot of work, the transfer department was rewarded and rewarded by the emperor, but the Zhenfu department got nothing.
The people below are not very happy, and Zhang Liang is not satisfied either, and he has nothing to lose.
"According to the queen's order, I came here to second a few people to handle a case, and they will be returned after use."
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "They are all my brothers. Why don't you borrow or not, and what kind of case are you handling? I will transfer people myself."
"It's a small matter, but it's not convenient to spread it to outsiders. Duke Chang Ping just lend Wei Chang to me temporarily."
Zhang Liang smiled mischievously, "Okay."
After Qin Lang left, Zhang Liang stared at the door for a long time before looking away.
Called Wei Chang, transferred a team of troops, Qin Lang followed Wei Chang and went straight to Qinglong Division.
"What is the background of this monk?"
Wei Chang rode on the horse, and said disdainfully, "It's just a rascal. This man's legal name is Huaiyi, and his original name is Xiaobao. He was originally just a peddler in Chang'an City, and he came from a lowly background. He was originally a Huainan businessman. The illegitimate son of a foreign woman in Beijing. Later, the businessman stopped coming to Chang'an and had no money to offer. Life was hard. My mother died early, so she played around in the neighborhood when she was a child, and later became a peddler when she grew up. However, this man is tall and handsome. Physically strong."
According to Wei Chang's introduction, this Wei Xiaobao came from a humble background, and later became a peddler. Later, because of an affair with a maidservant from a wealthy family in Beijing, he became greedy and wanted to instigate that maidservant to steal his master's property and elope. Huan was caught acting in a secret manner, and Wei Xiaobao hid in a panic and hid in Lingling Temple to shave his hair and become a monk, so he escaped the catastrophe.
It's just that this person's nature is hard to change. Although he has become a monk in the Inspiration Temple, he is still restless. Later, by accident, he hooked up with Danyang's maid again.
Once Huaiyi boldly sneaked into the Danyang mansion to have a tryst with the maidservant, but was bumped into and arrested by the people in the mansion. But Danyang found that Huaiyi was handsome, especially when he was captured, he didn't even have time to wear clothes, and his figure was very strong, so Danyang, who was grounded, made Huaiyi serve him, just to get revenge on Xue Wanche, and even planned to use Huaiyi to have a child. Then marry Wa to Qin Lang to relieve the anger in his heart.
However, this Huaiyi is indeed very capable, and he made Danyang very satisfied after three or two actions. After that, he was often called to the mansion, because his status as a monk was inconvenient, so he was asked to pretend to be a nun every time.
It's just that there should be an airtight wall in the world. Although Huaiyi is handsome, he is strong after all, so it's easy to lose his appearance when he pretends to be a nun.
"This Wei Xiaobao is really **** amazing!"
Wei Chang looked down on this kind of scum very much, "Relying on selling appearance to make a face, this kind of person is ashamed of the ancestors."
Inspiration Temple was built in the second year of Kaihuang, almost together with Chang'an City. It is located on Leyouyuan in the southeast of the city.
Standing in front of the temple and looking it over, Qin Lang found that it occupied a geomantic treasure, with high terrain and elegant scenery. The most famous thing in Lingling Temple is the 3,000 cherry trees in the temple. Every March and April, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the garden is full of spring, colorful and unusual.
The cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet, but Qin Lang looked at the Lingling Temple and smiled.
"Inspiration Temple, Sakura, and Monk Huaiyi happen to have nothing to do, so let's borrow this monk Huaiyi to rectify Inspiration Temple and purify Shijia."
"Sanlang, do you want me to surround the Inspiration Temple?" Wei Chang asked.
"Well, Wai, Wai, he is very tight. This temple actually houses scum like Huaiyi. It is inevitable that there may be a lot of dirt. Since I am here to investigate this time, I will investigate it thoroughly."
Wei Chang laughed loudly, "This is what I'm waiting for, Saburo, please rest assured, I will do things properly!"
Laughing loudly, he waved his hands again and again, and the brigade Zhenfusi troops he brought immediately surrounded the great Buddhist temple on Leyouyuan.
The gate of the temple was knocked open, there was nothing polite to say.
Qin Lang, accompanied by Wei Scarmian, walked in Qinglong Temple. I have to say that the location of this temple is really good. It is said that when Yang Jianying built the new capital of Da'an City, there were several high hills in the city, and the imperial palace was built on the ninth five-year plan. Temples and Taoist temples are built on them, and ordinary people are not allowed to live there.
Regardless of whether Yang Jian is superstitious or not, the Leyouyuan where the Inspiration Temple is located is really good. It belonged to Yichun Garden in the Qin Dynasty, and it was the highest place in the entire Chang'an City.
The terrain of Leyouyuan is towering. Dengyuan overlooks the distance, and the surroundings are spacious. Inside the capital, you can look down like a palm.
It is not far from the Qujiang River in the south, and the view is as if it is in front of you.
"Why do these bald donkeys occupy such a good place!" Wei Chang spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which happened to land in front of the monks who came over.
