Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Weiyang Palace was built by Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty and was the political and cultural center at that time. After the completion of Weiyang Palace, the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty all lived here, and it became the administrative center of the Han Empire for more than 200 years.

Therefore, in the poetry of later generations, Weiyang Palace has become synonymous with the Han Palace.

Weiyang Palace is also the starting point of the Silk Road. It was in Weiyang Palace that Zhang Qian received the order from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to go to the Western Regions.

Since the Sui Dynasty moved the capital, Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty has been included in the Royal Forbidden Garden and has become a scenic tourist area exclusively for the royal family.

In the Tang Dynasty, Weiyang Palace was also one of the three royal palaces of the Tang Dynasty. It was located in the northwest of Chang'an City.

Li Shimin took his family through the Xuanwu Gate and entered the Royal Forbidden Garden.

The Royal Forbidden Garden is twenty-seven miles long from east to west and twenty-three miles wide from north to south. There are walls around the garden.

There are two gates in the east and west, and three gates in the north and south.

There are palace pavilions, willow gardens, peach gardens, vineyards, pear gardens, etc. in the garden. Li Shimin often came here to race in the water, hunt and fly hawks, and entertain the ministers.

The Beiya Imperial Army, including the Yulin Guards, who guard the capital, are also stationed here.

"Who is it? Come out."

As soon as Li Shimin arrived at Weiyang Palace, he saw movement in the grass. He immediately shouted angrily and drew his sword.

Li Shimin has been on the battlefield for a long time and has never seen any kind of scene. Even at this moment, he has no fear.

Following Li Shimin's violent shout, Li An immediately stood in front of Li Shimin, and Baiqisi surrounded Li Shimin.

Yu Linwei also immediately stood in front of Li Shimin and stood on guard.

Soon, the grass shook a few times, and a person crawled out. It turned out to be a soldier with a knife hiding inside.

At this moment, the soldier's body was shaking like chaff, and he looked terribly frightened.

"Who are you?" Li Shimin asked.

The soldier collapsed to the ground with a plop and stuttered his reply:

"Back...Back...Your Majesty, I am the guard here. Just now I saw Your Majesty's guard of honor approaching. I was not in a hurry to avoid it. I had to lie down in the grass and wait for Your Majesty to pass by. Come out later."

According to Tang law, anyone who appears beside the emperor with a sword without permission will be punished as treason. Not only will he die, but he will also die.

His family and even the generals above him will die.

Li Shimin watched the soldiers trembling on the ground, and felt pity in his heart.

"Get up." Li Shimin said to the soldier and winked at Li An.

Li An understood the situation and stepped forward to help the soldier up, and took off his knife at the same time.

The situation was under control, everyone performed their duties, and Li Shimin led people into Weiyang Palace.

Arriving at the main hall, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian:

"Gao Ming, send this man out the back door immediately, tell him to keep quiet, and return the knife to him."

"It's Aye." Li Chengqian agreed and escorted the soldiers out with Baiqi.

Li Chengqian came back after a while.

"Gao Ming, do you know why I let this person go?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian thought Li Shimin was taking the exam, so he said:

"Aye was kind and couldn't bear to kill him. That's why he let him live."

"Haha, this is just one aspect. A king must be kind. According to the law, not only he had to die just now, but also his family, his superiors, and the guards responsible for clearing the road.

If we were to take it seriously, at least dozens of people would be killed.

He did it unintentionally, so why let them die in vain? "Li Shimin explained to Li Chengqian with a smile.

Li Chengqian realized that this was his father teaching him, so he bowed his head humbly and said:

"Thank you Aye for your teaching."

"As an emperor, you can't just kill, you still have to be kind.

You should not imitate your tenth brother in this regard. Although your tenth brother is smart, he is timid and too cautious.

Moreover, the killing is not decisive enough and the actions are not grand enough.

But this may not be a good thing for him.

But you are different. You will be the emperor in the future, and you cannot always like to use intrigues like him. "

Li Shimin is telling the truth. To be a king, you need to be grand and well-organized. All he uses are conspiracy and political means.

Wherever people like Li Shen are playing tricks, they are using despicable means.

"Yes, please keep it in mind." Li Chengqian accepted it humbly. He also felt that his father was right. Using history as a guide, Mingjun could not be so insidious.

"Ah sneeze!! Ah sneeze!!"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

At this moment, on the way to the northwest, King Ji Li Shen sneezed a few times without warning, and Lan Yu'er hurried forward to ask with concern.

Li Shen rubbed his nose with his hand and frowned.

"It's not that I'm sick. I thought at one time and cursed at the other. Someone must be cursing me. The heavens and the earth are all around, good things are not working, bad things are not working.

Pooh! Pooh! The bad ones don’t work and the good ones don’t work. "

Li Shen began to perform exorcisms on himself, something that was popular when he was a child in his previous life.

Seeing Li Shen babbling, Lan Yu'er was speechless for a while.

Her prince's behavior is sometimes very strange and confusing.

"Stone, stone." Li Shen opened the curtain of the carriage and shouted outside.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Shitou ran over on horseback.

"Where are you now?" Li Shen has been walking for more than half a month. Due to the lack of supplies and labor, the marching speed is a bit slow.

"Your Majesty, you have entered the territory of Minzhou." Shitou replied.

In the past few days, Li Shen has asked this question several times a day.

The main reason is that it is too boring, unlike when I went to Guangzhou Dudu Mansion, where it was like a tourist with stop and go.

This time he was on the road, and he never stopped. Except for setting up camp at night, the rest of the time, he even ate in one bite.

This made Li Shen feel very uncomfortable, and he didn't feel the pleasure of going out at all.

"Go and call Wang Changshi." Li Shen ordered.

He brought Wang Xuance here this time, otherwise there would be no one to make suggestions if something happened.

His little knowledge and wisdom are no longer enough.

"My lord, are you awake?" Wang Xuance came over and asked.

"Xuance, how long will it take for us to arrive? I've been eating and sleeping, and I'm feeling dizzy now." Li Shen asked helplessly.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Minzhou now, and we should be able to reach Lanzhou in three or four days. Please be patient, Your Majesty."

Wang Xuance replied that he knew that King Ji could no longer stand this boring march.

"Well, is there any news coming from the front?" Li Shen nodded.

"Back to your lord, the Prince Consort has already taken a group of workers who arrived early to Chiling, and they are leaving one after another every day. I estimate that there will be almost no workers left when we arrive."

"Well, remember to send someone to inform the manager there to pay attention to those who have altitude sickness. If they feel unwell, let them rest.

They are workers, not slaves, so don't push them to death. Do you understand that it’s not worthwhile for us to have to lose money at that time? "Li Shen warned again.

"Yes, I will send someone to inform you right now." Wang Xuance accepted the order. He knew that King Ji was kind-hearted.
