Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 699 Li Yuan is seriously ill, the matter of the imperial tomb

"What are you talking about?" Ding Yi stared, threateningly.

Xiaoxue thumped, took a step back, and said in a panic: "Young...young master, news came from Chang'an this morning that the Supreme Emperor is seriously ill, do you want to go back to Chang'an to visit?"

"Huh?" Hearing this news, Ding Yi immediately lost the thought of bullying Xiaoxue.

Li Yuan is seriously ill?

Ok……

Calculating the time, it seems that it should be about the same. In the original timeline, Li Yuan died two years later, so it is reasonable to be seriously ill now.

Just to visit... this...

For a moment, Ding Yi was a little embarrassed.Although I only met Li Yuan once, after that time, I still attracted Li Er's attention.

visit……

and many more!

Ding Yi remembered one thing!

Imperial Mausoleum!

The Great Tang inherited the Han and Wei dynasties and followed the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty. After the emperor ascended the throne, he should start building the emperor's mausoleum to stabilize the imperial power and demonstrate the majesty of the supreme imperial power.

There are many advantages to this imperial mausoleum, but there are also disadvantages!
It was because of the construction of the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum that Qin Shihuang prompted Liu Bang, a commoner, to raise his flag to rebel.

After Liu Bang founded the country, he also built Changling!

Moreover, they also used Changling to move a group of powerful nobles to Changling, disintegrating the power of powerful nobles in one fell swoop, and alleviating the sparse population and domestic instability in Guanzhong at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Now, in the Xianyangyuan area, there are still nine mausoleums of the Han Dynasty standing majestically, watching the land.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were external and internal troubles.Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other armed groups are still threatening, and Li Er and Li Jiancheng are even competing for the crown prince.

Therefore, the construction of Li Yuan's imperial mausoleum was not started until after his death.

As for the years when Li Yuan was imprisoned in Da'an Palace, why didn't Li Er mention it, Li Yuan didn't mention it, the courtiers didn't mention it, Ding Yi didn't want to explore the secrets inside.

He was thinking about one thing, the construction of the emperor's mausoleum must have mausoleums, and if there are mausoleums, there must be population migration!
There is population migration, can I make some small moves from it, and use this to expand the population of the new city?

Of course, this small action cannot be done in secret. After all, it represents the prestige of an emperor after his death, and also represents the face of Datang.If there is a secret action here, it is slapping Li Er, the whole Tang Dynasty!

This matter is worth considering, but it must be very safe!
"Let's go! Go back to the mansion!" Ding Da waved his hand and went straight back to the mansion. Now he is not in the mood to hang around in the city, nor does he want to have a romantic relationship with Changle.Solving the population problem in the new city first is the top priority!

As he was walking, Ding Yi suddenly turned his head, and Xiao Xue, who was behind him, had her head stuck in his back.

"June [-], go to the planning department and invite the two brothers from the Yan family, and tell me that I have something to ask for advice!"

The imperial mausoleums of the Han Dynasty were all supervised by the prime minister, and at the same time, the prime minister also served as a general to make orders.

The official system of the Tang Dynasty followed the example of the Sui system, which was already very different from the Han Dynasty.

However, the two brothers of the Yan family always know more than Ding Yi, a layman!

After preparing the tea, Ding Yiduan sat in the main hall and waited for the Yan family brothers to arrive.

Not long after, the two brothers stood at the entrance of the main hall with puzzled expressions and saluted Ding.

They rarely encountered this kind of thing. In the past, Ding Yi would directly come to the door to inform him of anything, and today he even asked for advice!He even invited the two of them to the mansion to have a talk. Seeing that only Ding Yi and his personal servant girl were in the hall, he knew that this matter was not easy.

They don't think that Ding Yi is showing off now. They have followed him all the way, and they understand very well that although he has been eroded by power, he has no bad habits of power corruption!
"Haha~ come, come, come, please sit down, two ministers!" Ding smiled and stood up to greet them, welcoming the two into the main hall, and guiding them to sit down.

Xiaoxue pouted to Ding Yi to express her dissatisfaction, and then poured tea for the two of them with a teapot while smiling.

"City Lord, I don't know what's important today?" Planning Department Ding Yi seldom went there. He used to go to the gate of the former Ding Mansion, but he often went to the shed outside the current City Lord's Mansion.Now, maybe the general construction of the new city has been decided, so I seldom visit the planning department.Yan Lide seldom stays in Xincheng nowadays. After all, they also serve as general supervisors, so Yan Liben is responsible for everything in the planning department, and he stays in Chang'an most of the time to preside over general supervisors.It was also just after the Shangyuan Festival ended, he went back to Xincheng to discuss with his brothers the planning of this year's new city, and that's when he was invited to Ding's residence.

Ding Yi was silent for a moment, then said darkly and deeply: "The Supreme Emperor is seriously ill!"

Just such a sentence made the faces of the two brothers change instantly!
In the Zhenguan Dynasty, few people mentioned Li Yuan.After all, almost everyone and Li Er forced Li Yuan to Zen, so mentioning Li Yuan doesn't mean you are making yourself unhappy!
Hearing the news that Li Yuan was seriously ill, the two were terrified at first, and then immediately put on expressions of grief, filled with emotion.

"Early this morning, people from Chang'an have come to take Mr. Sun to Chang'an!" Xiaoxue told him on the way back. After all, Sun Simiao is now highly respected by the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Office.

"That's good, that's good!" Yan Liben sighed, his expression full of grief and memories.

"Ask something disrespectful!" Ding Yi said shyly.

Yan Lide was puzzled, and said: "Please speak up, the city lord!"

"The emperor's mausoleum..." Ding Yiming asked knowingly. He knew that Li Yuan's mausoleum had not been built, and he mentioned it now just to remind the two of them.

"City Lord be careful!" Yan Liben stood up in shock. This incident was the second most tabooed event in the Tang Dynasty, and the first was of course the matter of Xuanwumen!

Ding Yi looked at him suspiciously, and asked foolishly, "What's the problem? Everything in the Tang Dynasty follows the etiquette system of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Why are you so taboo? Could it be that the imperial mausoleum hasn't been built yet?"

Facing Ding Yi's outspokenness, the two brothers sighed endlessly, and they knew in their hearts that this man was pretending to be stupid, and they came here today to ask about this matter!
It's just that, for a while, they couldn't figure out the intention of this man to inquire about the emperor's mausoleum!

"It's true what the city lord said, the emperor's mausoleum has not yet been built!" Yan Lide could only accompany the other party to pretend to be stupid.

The construction of the emperor's mausoleum should have started at the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, but Li Yuan was imprisoned in the Da'an Palace before he could consider building it.

Today's emperor will not take the initiative to bring up this matter, otherwise it will make people feel that he wishes his father to die!
And the courtiers are all cunning and cunning, who would want to be that early bird?
So, this matter is so delayed!

"Ah! How could such a thing happen?" Ding Yi exclaimed, pretending he had to pretend to the end, anyway, when he came, Li Erdu had been on the throne for three years, how could he know what happened before!
"This..." Yan Lide stammered, not knowing how to explain it. Isn't this embarrassing!
Ding Yi paced back and forth, and asked after a while: "You two, if the emperor's mausoleum is to be built and the Han system is followed, should we build a mausoleum?"
