Chapter 18: I will consider making a decision (first update)

"The palace in Jiangtou locks thousands of doors, and who is the green of the thin willows and new pudding?" It is about Furong Garden. In the third year of Kaihuang (583 AD), Emperor Wen of Sui officially moved to the Xindu. Emperor Wen of Sui hated the song and felt it was unlucky, so he planned to change Qujiang to "Furong Garden". After some transformation in the early Sui Dynasty, Qujiang appeared on the historical stage again as the nature of a royal garden, and obtained a new name - Furong Garden.

Because Li Xiuning made great contributions to conquering Chang'an, Li Yuan gave Li Xiuning the royal garden covering an area of ​​more than 400 acres. However, Li Xiuning never moved into Furong Garden. In the Yang Guang era, Furong Garden was the place where their kings and ministers drank and composed music and wrote poems. However, Li Xiuning only likes armed forces and does not like red clothes. She doesn't like the way literati flatter each other and complains without any illness, so the Furong Garden was vacant.

Chen Ying had also entered the palace more than once, but it was far from the shocking Furong Garden. The Tang Palace basically inherited the Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty. It was not until the time of Emperor Ming of Tang Li Longji that it began to be built on a large scale. Although the Tang Palace at this time was spectacular, Chen Ying did not feel so shocked because of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

However, when Chen Ying saw Furong Garden from afar, he felt the luxury of Furong Garden. Furong Garden faced north and south, and a plaque with vigorous fonts hung in the middle of the gatehouse, with the three words "Furong Garden" written on it. It is said that these three words were written by Yu Shinan, a former Sui residence hallman.

The Zhuhong gate was closed tightly, decorated with a large copper ring of Qilin beast. Chen Ying and Li Xiuning entered through the main gate, and there was a corridor extending straight in front of him. Furong Garden has been Li Xiuning's property since the first year of Wude, and more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs were left to take care of it. Although it has not been used for more than three years, it does not seem dilapidated.

Ma Sanbao is Li Xiuning's confidant and chief supervisor of the outer courtyard. He knows Furong Garden better than Li Xiuning. Ma Sanbao walked to the front and introduced to Li Xiuning and Chen Ying: "Along this corridor, it is wide, sixteen steps wide, and four hundred and sixty-eight steps long, it is the center of Furong Garden. Along this corridor, on the right are Caiyun Tower, Caixia Pavilion, Linshui Pavilion, Water Palace, Liangtang, and on the left are Tingshan Tower, Penglai Mountain, Maid's Hall, Imperial Banquet Palace, Fanglin Garden, and Fengming Hall..."

Chen Ying was filled with emotion for a moment. He built a fort in Qinglin. The fort was divided into eight courtyards, and twenty-four small courtyards were separated from south to north on both sides. They were surrounded by blue brick thick walls of nearly four meters high, which surrounded the entire Chen family mansion into a castle-style building complex.

However, I don’t know. I was shocked. Compared with Furong Garden, Chenjiabao in Qinglin outside Chang'an City is a trash.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and was stunned. She thought Chen Ying was not satisfied with Furong Garden, so she asked, "Chen Lang, do you don't like this place? If you don't like this place, we can find a house in Chang'an City. You can choose whatever you want. As long as you like it, I will find a way to find the rest..."

"Pick it in Chang'an City?" Chen Ying felt even more moved. This was Li Xiuning's domineering nature. Of course, Li Xiuning had this real strength. Nowadays, the four most powerful men in the Tang Dynasty are Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji. The four of them all have a close relationship with Li Xiuning, and they probably don't need to buy it at all. Even if Li Xiuning showed a little bit of wind, countless people would hand over their houses, hoping to get along with Li Xiuning's line.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't like it, but that I like it so much that I can't bear to convert this Furong Garden into a hospital, but as my own residence."

"Oh, what's the matter!" Li Xiuning smiled and said, "Since Chen Lang likes Furong Garden, we just stay here. There is nothing missing here anyway."

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It is easy to go into extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant. Now is not the time to enjoy it. It is precisely because the environment here is beautiful, so we should regard this place as a hospital. If you stay here for a day, it should not be expensive to collect 180 sen, right?"

Li Xiuning gave Chen Ying a blank look and said, "You'll fall into the eyes of money."

Chen Ying was understandable about this. The environment of Furong Garden is treated as the highest level of nursing home.

Chen Ying was a person who had to do it when he said it. He examined Furong Garden and then made a slight change. He divided Furong Garden into three parts, about one-third of the garden, and used it as the outpatient department of Datang Boren Hospital to deal with ordinary patients, and later it was responsible for handling critically ill patients, and later it was used as a sanatorium, which was specially used for the restoration of powerful people.

Just as Chen Ying and Li Xiuning were visiting Furong Garden and making suggestions for the rectification of Furong Garden, they suddenly heard the voice of the Central General Officer Chen Qi: "Your Highness, Princess, I have found your man. Your Majesty wants to summon you into the palace. I have just chased you from the Princess Mansion. If I had known that I would go like this, I would come out in a carriage..."

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said, "The summoned by Father is probably another major national event. You first enter the palace, this garden, I and the Three Treasures, and we are thinking about renovation."

Chen Ying said: "Okay, I'll go back!"

...

In Chang'an, in the Ganquan Palace bathhouse, water vapor filled the water. Li Shimin strode naked and jumped into the pool, splashing a large splash of water. After a while, Li Shimin, who was in the diving pool, came out of the water from the bathhouse.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin who was playing in the Tangchi, and his old face was filled with a smile.

After a while, Li Shimin had a lot of fun and lay beside Li Yuan and asked the palace maid to massage his hands. Li Shimin closed his eyes comfortably: "Dad, this pool is good. Dad, you have to ask the Ministry of Works to repair one for me."

Li Yuan did not answer and crawled out of the pool. A handsome palace maid stepped forward with a bath towel and wiped the water marks on Li Yuan's body. Then Li Yuan put on a loose robe and walked to the stone table next to the pool to sit down.

Li Shimin quickly climbed out of the bathtub, wrapped a bath towel around his waist, walked barefoot to the table, took the wine pot on the table, and poured a glass of wine for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said to Li Shimin: "This is the Western Region grape brew that Gaochang Kingdom has tributed a few days ago. With ice, it tastes good, so you can also compensate!"

Li Shimin held the wine glass and handed it to Li Yuan: "Great, Dad, just build one for me."

Li Yuan took the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Li Shimin muttered: "Dad is too much, how much can a pool be worth?"

Li Yuan burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, okay, I know you, I know you!"

Li Shimin came to Li Yuan and smiled and said, "It's better for my father!"

Li Yuan waved his hand, and the palace maid and eunuch in the bathroom slowly retreated. Seeing that there was no one around, Li Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Erlang, I can build a house for your Qin Palace, and you also want to do something for me."

Li Shimin said: "As long as my father repairs the pool for me, don't say one thing, a hundred things will be done."

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed Li Shimin's forehead: "Little slippery head, you won't show off the rabbit."

Li Shimin said: "That's nature."

Li Yuan picked up a letter from the desk: "Tomorrow, Chu Liang will imitate Ling Jing's handwriting, copy one, and hand it over to the Censorate."

Li Shimin took a look at the letter in front of Li Yuan, and then looked at it quickly, curled his lips: "Dad, you are too troublesome."

Li Yuan asked back: "Please."

Li Shimin curled his lips and said, "Yes, Dad, you are the emperor. If you want to kill anyone, you will issue an imperial edict. Why do you have to make such twists and turns? Just Ling Jing, you will be killed if you kill him. Why do you have to do this in one go?"

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Erlang really thinks the emperor is so easy to be a man?"

Li Shimin asked back: "Isn't it?"

Li Yuan sighed: "It would be great if it was that simple. Remember, you must imitate Ling Jing's handwriting."

Li Shimin said: "Yes, yes, but I have a request!"

Li Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I know, I will build you an identical pool in the Qin Palace."

Li Shimin shook his head: "No, it was Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie. They saved my life. I promised them that they must give them a wealth. My father gave them an official. There is no need to be too old, just a fourth-rank official."

"Fourth-rank official? Haha..." Li Yuan left with his hands behind his back, and a cold sentence came from him: "Erlang, official positions are important tools of the country, how can he be given lightly?"

Li Shimin said: "Dad, if you don't help me, why would I have the attitude to go out to see people in the future? You don't want me to break the trust, right? Or you can get one for them, and you can do it... Or you can put Qin Qiong out and be the chief supervisor in Xiangzhou. Cheng Zhijie out and be the chief supervisor in Luzhou."

Li Yuan was getting farther and farther away. When he disappeared, a light voice came: "I'm considering it and then making a decision!"
