Chapter 214 The Tang Palace

The new palace is as warm as spring.

Not only does it feel cold and wet, but the light in the room is also very good.

Li Shimin walked around inside and fell in love with it immediately.

"Your Majesty, this new palace has been officially handed over to the court today. If you don't give it a name, you can put it into use from now on."

Qin Xiedao naturally had many ideas about naming.

Whether it is the Daming Palace in the early Tang Dynasty in history, or the Summer Palace in later generations, the Old Summer Palace, they are all good names.

But these names would be better for Li Shimin.

Anyway, no matter what the name is, it will not affect Qin Xiedao's planning.

"Our Tang Dynasty stands in the east, and this palace is built very distinctive. No palace in all dynasties can match it.

So I don’t think the name of this palace needs to be too particular, just call it the Tang Palace.”

Li Shimin thought about it for a while and gave an answer.

This answer is a bit beyond Qin Xiedao's expectations and a bit natural.

In the past, I liked to find some allusions from books such as the Book of Songs.

For example, the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty is from "The Book of Songs·Xiao Ya·The Legend of the Woman·Tingliao" "How is the night? Night Weiyang, the light of the Tingliao."

The original Daming Palace is also found in the "Daming" chapter in "The Book of Songs·Daya".

"King Wen has a bright virtue, so the heaven has ordered King Wu. King Wen, who inherited King Wu, has become more and more vast in his bright virtue, so it is called Daming."

This Daming Palace has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Now Li Shimin's simple and rough name to the Tang Palace is also a choice.

The name of the Tang Dynasty will be widely spread.

"Your Majesty's wiseness, no name can express the meaning of this palace more vividly than the Tang Palace. No gorgeous rhetoric can surpass the simplicity and heaviness of the two words of Tang Dynasty, and no so-called meaning can set off the meaning of the construction of the new palace than the Tang Palace.

Now all the various instruments in the palace have been prepared, and Lan He has arranged a group of palace maids and eunuchs to settle in the Datang Palace in advance.

If Your Majesty thinks this Tang Palace is good, it is okay to live here tonight."

At this time, Qin Xiedao would not be so ignorant about whether to invite the Supreme Emperor to come to the Tang Palace to live.

Li Yuan has been staying in Daxing Palace, but in fact he is venting his dissatisfaction.

Although he has a little bit of a childish temper, Li Shimin really has no choice.

No matter which feudal dynasty is, filial piety is very important.

If a person bears a reputation for being unfilial, it will definitely be a lifelong stigma.

Li Shimin has now ascended the throne and is naturally not unhappy for the right to live in Daxing Palace.

"Father, you have a lot of things to do every day and need to review a lot of memorials every day. You can sit down for a long time.

In a cold and humid palace, it is easy to get the disease.

If you stay in the Tang Dynasty Palace, it should be very beneficial for your body."

Although Li Chengqian is still young, Li Shimin also brought him with him for such activities today.

After studying with Qin Xiedao for a while, Li Chengqian also knew what to say at this time.

"What the Crown Prince said is quite reasonable. Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things, but you should also take care of your health."

Fang Xuanling could naturally feel the benefits of the Tang Palace, so there was no reason to object.

"This Tang Palace is built outside the city. Although it is not far from Mingde Gate, it is still very inconvenient for all officials to leave the city every day.

Especially for the morning court every day, according to the current opening and closing time of the city gate, all officials will be unable to attend the court meeting if they are not careful."

Changsun Wuji raised his concerns aside.

He couldn't stand Qin Xiedao's goodness.

This Tang Palace was built by Qin Xiedao, and it has not cost a penny from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

If Li Shimin lived in the Tang Palace every day, he would definitely be thinking about Qin Xiedao every day.

If you want to deal with him, it will be a lot of trouble.

"This problem is actually easier to solve. If Your Majesty is planning to live in the Tang Dynasty Palace, the dynasty meeting can be postponed for two quarters of an hour, and it should not be a big problem.

Or you can ask the Supreme Emperor to live in the Datang Palace and His Majesty enters the Daxing Palace, so that the problem can be solved."

Xiao Yu is also an old minister of the Wude Dynasty.

He could also see clearly the current situation of Li Shimin and his son.

So taking this opportunity, he also intends to let Li Yuan move out of Daxing Palace.

In this way, not only will Li Yuan live more comfortably, but Li Shimin can also live in Daxing Palace with dignity.

As for Li Shimin's comfort in living in Daxing Palace and not in Datang Palace, that's not something Xiao Yu is considering.

"The Daxing Palace is the symbol of our Tang Dynasty's imperial power. This newly built palace is not only located outside the city and is not very safe; but it is still uncertain whether it is comfortable or not in it.

I think Your Majesty should not rush to move in for now.”

Gao Shilian's words were recognized by some people.

After all, last year, the Eastern Turkic army had just reached the outside of Chang'an City.

If the palace was outside the city, it might have been directly attacked by the Turks.

No one can bear this risk.

"Your Majesty, in fact, whether the Tang Palace is good or not, you will know if you try to live there.

I think Your Majesty can invite the Supreme Emperor to live first, which can also reflect Your Majesty's filial piety.

When the Tang Palace was built, various issues were fully considered.

The entire harem can actually be divided into two relatively independent parts, with a Taiyi pool in the middle isolated the two parts.

Even if the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty live here at the same time, there is no problem."

Qin Xiedao's proposal was even more ruthless.

Whether it is Li Yuan or Li Shimin, it is best to live in the Tang Palace in the future.

In this way, the value of 100,000 acres of land outside the Tang Dynasty Palace can be doubled immediately.

"Xiedao's idea can be tried. As for the safety issues mentioned by Gao Shangshu, there is no need to worry about it.

Today, the Eastern Turks had long been in internal chaos. If His Majesty had not abide by the alliance, he would have sent troops to destroy them.

It was not that easy for the Turkic cavalry to attack Guanzhong again."

Although Cheng Yaojin did not fully understand what Qin Xiedao was selling, out of trust in Qin Xiedao, he still stood up and helped and said something.

"Your Majesty, it's really a bit dark and humid to live in Daxing Palace. If you can move to the Datang Palace, it will be beneficial for the Supreme Emperor or His Majesty.

If Your Majesty has any concerns, let the Supreme Emperor move here for a few days first."

Xiao Yu's words made Li Shimin make up his mind.
