Finally, he said: "These great heroes should enjoy the vast blessings in the sky! So I thought, let's call it Lingyan Pavilion! How about it?"
As soon as these words came out, they were highly praised by Concubine Yang.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin's talent is extraordinary.
Isn't it easy to pick a name just like this?
The meaning is accurate, but it has been passed down through the ages.
"Okay, okay, that's it."
"Where was it built? Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"
Li Shimin thought for a while.
"Let's build it northeast of Daming Palace."
I don’t know what the purpose of this Northeast is.
Perhaps it was the first place Li Shimin could think of!
Regarding this, Concubine Yang said:
"As far as I know, there is a building in the northeast of Daming Palace that can be used to build a pavilion. All it needs is a plaque."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
"Let Ouyang Xun write the issue about the plaque. I'll ask him to deal with it later!"
Li Shimin said that he thought it would be best to let Ouyang Xun write it. Now Ouyang Xun has no principles and no intention of closing the book.
Concubine Yang said:
"I think that this word should be inscribed by His Majesty himself! To show the respect for the ministers. Others are not good!"
Only if Li Shimin wrote it himself would he take it seriously enough!
Li Shimin also agreed with her words.
"What my beloved concubine said seems to make sense. Then I will start writing the plaque soon, and then have someone carve it, so that I can put the plaque on it on an auspicious day!"
"Your Majesty is wise! Who can we get for that painting?"
This is another problem.
Who paints portraits?
"Just take it with the camera."
Li Shimin said.
The camera is not impossible either.
But what if a deceased person is selected?
This was something he had never thought of.
"Your Majesty, how do you take pictures of the deceased?"
When Li Shimin thought about it, it seemed like this.
Then he said:
"Then let Yan Liben draw it."
Yan Liben and Yan Lide both studied architecture.
They are also painters.
As for Yan Liben, his reputation for painting is much higher than that of his brother Yan Lide.
There are records in history: Yan Liben was good at crafts, full of ingenuity, seal script and official calligraphy, and was good at painting and architecture. His elder brother Yan Lide was good at calligraphy, painting, crafts and construction projects. Yan Bi, Yan Lide and Yan Liben were all good at crafts.
, is famous for his paintings around the world. His representative works include "Picture of a Walking Chariot" and "Portraits of Emperors of the Past Dynasties".
Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Shimin to think of Yan Liben.
"Yan Liben doesn't know if he is free."
As far as she knew, he was helping the group with construction. If you asked him to paint, it seemed that he would have time.
"You have to be free even if you don't have time. How dare he disobey my decree?"
Li Shimin said.
Is this the use of force?
But having said that, if I could paint for Lingyan Pavilion, it would be famous forever.
It is also praised by future generations.
Therefore, Li Shimin believed that Yan Liben would not refuse.
Who dares to disobey an imperial edict? Except Li Min!
The two discussed and figured out some details. This time Li Shimin was extra serious and felt that this matter could make him feel at ease.
Who knew that this time it would trigger a big conflict! It would make people in the court panic!
Then, Li Shimin made arrangements and asked Yan Liben to enter the palace, waiting for Dai Zhou to hand over the list.
Dai Zhou's movements are also fast.
The list was submitted in the evening of that day.
That is an extremely exhaustive list.
Li Shimin took a quick look and felt that these people were all good, and he also had his own candidates.
But for the sake of fairness, Li Shimin also asked all civil and military officials to come back to court.
And, the list was made into a hanging picture.
The name is written at the top, and the deeds are written below, which will be commented on by the ministers.
During this period, Empress Changsun was also found.
And all the concubines. Let them participate together.
When everything is ready.
Li Shimin said to the ministers:
"I miss all the heroes who conquered the world together, and in order to commemorate them, I want to set up a pavilion in the northeast corner of the Daming Palace for commemoration and for future generations to remember. First, the heroes who have made great contributions can be rewarded.
, and the second is that future generations can learn from it.”
When Li Shimin said this, all the officials shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
It is certainly good for Li Shimin to think so! It is also good to be an official in the imperial court.
"His Majesty has such a heart, which makes us ministers very touched!"
"Your Majesty is interested!"
"I just don't know, who can go to this pavilion?"
“Then only those great princes can go!”
"That's not true! Only those who hold the position of Duke can go to this pavilion!"
…
Someone else asked: "What is the name of that pavilion?"
Li Shimin said: "Everyone be quiet. I thought about it and finally came up with a good name. These heroes are soaring in the sky and enjoying the vast blessings! So I thought it would be called Lingyan Pavilion!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone shouted wildly.
"Good name!"
"Your Majesty is so talented in literature!"
"Wonderful!"
"Your Majesty is extremely knowledgeable!"
…
These people were flattering, which made Li Shimin feel happy.
This makes people feel really relaxed.
At this time, he no longer had the worries of the morning.
"Everyone loves you!"
He said, and everyone became quiet at this time.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "Dai Zhou has recorded sixty meritorious ministers on the painting. Let's take a look now! I want to select 24 people from here to be selected into Lingyan Pavilion! Now let's take a look.
Everyone, vote for the person you think should be in charge of Lingyan Pavilion!"
Everyone has a shot in mind.
Everyone's evaluation criteria are different.
Let Li Shimin mention it, there is also a different order.
Some people have a higher sense of presence, so they get in first.
Some people have less sense of presence and may lose the election.
Therefore, when Li Shimin said these words.
Everyone made a fuss.
Li Shimin also knew the relationship, and said: "The first 24 people will enter first, and then, ten people will be evaluated every year! As long as you have great achievements, you will have the opportunity to be admired by thousands of people!"
Li Shimin's words give everyone confidence.
"Okay, then everyone, please start!"
After Li Shimin said this, someone handed down a form.
Here is a list of 60 people who have made great contributions.
Fill it out together.
For a moment, the entire palace was like a vegetable market.
Everyone also finds Li Shimin's method very magical.
It feels very familiar.
Just like what Li Min did.
But no one dared to say it.
"I'll give you half an hour to think about it!"
Afterwards, Li Shimin closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Dai Zhou collected the forms together.
And on a blackboard, sixty names were written.
They started counting.
For each vote, someone wrote a word after that person's name.
And five votes is a straight character.
During the counting of votes, everyone can see the gap, which has gradually become apparent.
