Chapter 271
Li Yuanji was granted a residence in Wude Hall, and Li Shimin was granted a residence in Chengqian Hall.
Wude Hall is located east of Tai Chi Palace and is very close to the East Palace. Li Yuan even asked Li Yuanji to open a Taoist gate on the palace wall between Wude Hall and the East Palace. The East Palace and Tai Chi Palace actually have a doorway connection, which is simply unbelievable. Especially the two brothers Li Yuanji and Li Shimin, both of whom have grown up long ago and still live in the palace.
Li Shimin lived in Chengqian Palace, which is the West Palace of Tai Chi Palace. Li Shimin's eldest son Chengqian was born here and his name also comes from the name of this palace.
The most peculiar thing is that Li Yuanji and Li Shimin's family live in the palace and pass by at will in the Emperor's Tai Chi Palace and the East Palace, without any restrictions.
The prince and the two kings of Qin and Qi were able to ride horses and even carry bows and swords when they went in and out of the Great Inner.
Moreover, at this time, the Crown Prince Orders, Qin, Qi Kings, and the Emperor's imperial edicts were carried out in parallel, and the people below were often confused and could only determine the order of receiving these edicts, rather than the order of the emperor, the prince and the two kings.
It can be said that although the world was unified at this time, the power of the Tang Dynasty was scattered in the hands of Li Yuan and his son. Each of them had their own army. Li Yuan had the emperor's personal army, the prince was led by the Eastern Palace Guard, and the Qin King Qi King had his own six guards' mansions, marriages, tents, and directly affiliated troops were all tens of thousands of people.
The Sixteen Guards and the Twelve Armies of the Palace in the Palace were actually divided by the father and son.
Although this was originally a result of adapting to the situation at the beginning of the country, it seems very strange that it is still in this state.
Why did Li Shimin dare to fight for the throne? He was really very strong. Not to mention the Shangshu Ling of the Daxingtai of Shaanxi East Road, but also the General Tiance, his own direct army, a complete set of subordinates and his own army. It would be strange if he didn't fight for such strength.
When Li Shimin and Li Yuanji met the prince in the palace, they were mostly polite rituals, and even often polite rituals to the emperor.
Several orders were carried out in parallel, and the palace was not strictly prohibited. The father and son were all living in the country and there was no strict division. This was certainly related to the fact that the Li family had a relatively open lineage of Hu people, and it was also that the Li family did not attach much importance to the status of each person at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Later, the legendary rumors of the prince and the King of Qi had a harem were also because they could pass through the palace day and night. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji lived in the palace, and could even ride horses and carry a knife and bow to pass through the palace. When they saw the emperor and the prince, they also gave courtesy. This not only caused the prince's lack of authority, but also shook Li Yuan's authority.
After the Battle of Luoyang.
Li Shimin gave Li Shentong dozens of hectares of good land for the King of Qin, and Zhang Jieyu asked his father for the emperor's order to ask for the land. As a result, Li Shentong dared to use the King of Qin as the leader and the emperor's order to the back and refused to obey.
This incident made Li Yuan very angry at that time. He called Li Shimin to scold him. Is my order better than you?
The emperor's instructions are not as effective as the prince's teachings?
The ministers only recognize the Qin King's Sect but not the emperor's orders. This matter is indeed very telling.
At this time, the Emperor's Imperial, the Crown Prince's Imperial, and the Prince's Imperial, were actually not distinguished from the high and low levels, but only the front and back. Whoever's order arrived first would listen to whom. This would be unimaginable if it was at the peak of the dynasty.
With the unification of the world, Li Yuan also began to deal with these hidden dangers. His most prominent manifestation was that he began to be more inclined to the prince. Last year, Liu Heita rebelled in Hebei, and Li Yuan kept not allowing Li Shimin to go to war. This is because of this, he did not want Li Shimin to gain prestige.
But later, even the two commanders were defeated in the court, and Li Yuan had no choice but to send Li Shimin. However, as soon as Liu Heita was settled, Li Yuan immediately transferred Li Shimin back and replaced Li Yuanji and Li Yuan to lead the two groups.
This shows that Li Yuan’s precautions towards Li Shimin become more and more serious.
Li Shimin is not only shaking the authority of the prince, but has even shaken the authority of Emperor Li Yuan.
As the saying goes, when the world was conquered, the father and son were in battle, but today, the unification of the king and his subjects were divided into the superiors and subordinates.
This time Li Jiancheng submitted a memorial to remove the platform, and Li Yuan agreed so quickly, which just showed Li Yuan's intentions.
Zhang Chao had a headache.
The most intense period of the struggle has begun. The prince and Li Shimin fought. In order to stabilize his authority, Li Yuan also had to support the prince. Li Yuanji was not an ordinary person. He also jumped up and down in this struggle. He obviously wanted to fight Li Shimin first and then take the lead.
Pass through Chongfu Gate, Chongming Gate, Jiade Gate, and then turn left to Zuo Jiashan Gate and enter Zuochunfang.
The newly established Chongwen Pavilion is located next to Zuochunfang.
Zuochunfang is very lively, with a large group of officials, which is equivalent to the imperial court's subordinate province.
Zhang Chao saw many officials wearing red robes and green robes, as well as purple robes and green robes.
In the square inside Zuo Jiashan Gate, a row of children were playing.
Zhang Chao walked to the side veranda and saw Ma Zhou standing there in a green robe chatting with a young man.
"Binwang, you've come early, don't wait for me." Zhang Chao went over to say hello with a smile.
Ma Zhou smiled and after Zhang Chaoqi was restored to his post, he also operated Ma Zhou for a while. Ma Zhou was restored to his post and became a sixth-rank literature department in the Jingju Bureau, and also served as a bachelor's lecturer in Chongwenguan.
"Sanlang, let me introduce you to me. This is Mr. Cen."
"Cen Wenben, whose courtesy name is Jingren, is a new scholar at Chongwenguan. He will be the master of the museum in the future. I will pay my respects to the master."
Cen Wenben, Zhang Chao is familiar with this name. He was also a prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty and a writer. There was also a very famous frontier poet Cen Shen in the Tang Dynasty, who was his fourth generation grandson.
His family was originally from Dengzhou, Henan, and later moved to Jiangling. His grandfather was the Minister of Personnel of the Western Liang Dynasty and his father was the county magistrate of the Sui Dynasty. When he was young, his father was framed. At the age of fourteen, he went to sue his father for his injustice and helped his father to make his injustice clear, so he became famous.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Xian was appointed as the emperor and Cheng Cen Wenben was the Minister of the Secretariat.
The Tang army surrounded Jiangling, and Cen Wenben persuaded Xiao Xian to surrender. Later Tang army entered the city, and advised Li Xiaogong not to rob and massacre.
Li Xiaogong gave him a gift to Jingzhou.
Later, he recommended him to Beijing. This time, Chongwenguan selected famous scholars of Confucianism as bachelors, and Cen Wenben became a bachelor's lecturer.
"Looks like you guys are having a lot of chat!"
They are all young people in their twenties. Ma Zhou and Cen Wenben are really chatting. In terms of age, Cen Wenben is several years older than Ma Zhou, and regardless of background or fame, they are much older than Ma Zhou at this time.
"I'm just talking to Jing Ren about Saburo's Zizhi Tongjian, and he highly praised your book."
You two are the real celebrities, Zhang Chao thought to himself as he looked at them.
Today, the Chongwenguan Primary School officially opened. The children who come here are royal relatives and relatives under the age of fourteen, as well as children of senior Beijing officials.
When they study here until they are fourteen years old, they will go to Xiuwenguan in the Secretariat, and some will go to the Imperial College to study.
"There must be more than a hundred, right?" Zhang Chao looked at the group of playful children. There were teenagers in their teenage years old, and the young ones were probably only three or four years old. There must be hundreds of servants standing around him.
Cen Wenben glanced at the royal relatives, the heroes and the children of high-ranking officials, turned his head and smiled at Zhang Chao, "There are 108 in total. The oldest is 14 years old, and the youngest is less than three years old."
Zhang Chao looked at the group of students of different heights and sizes, and sighed. There were so many, and the age difference was so big, which meant that they were all studying here in elementary and junior high schools.
It seems they have to be assigned a class.
I hope that brothers with the conditions can come to Qidian to support the genuine version. Even if you give a reward of one yuan and subscribe to a few chapters, it will be a great support to the author. Thank you everyone!
