Chapter 1515 Don’t guess what Cheng Sanlang is thinking... (please subscribe and vote)
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had just left the court and was feeling a little depressed in the main hall, simply chose to walk and wander around the palace.
Enjoying the warm sunshine in late winter, it shines on your body and feels extremely comfortable.
Walking in the palace, which is already showing the early spring atmosphere, it is another year. This year, many places in Guanzhong suffered from snowstorms.
Fortunately, the court allocated money and food in a timely manner, and finally the people affected by the disaster were not displaced.
Although the people have been protected, the relief efforts in these disasters have caused Chang'an's grain reserves, which were originally thought to be abundant, to be reduced by flash floods.
This made Li Shimin feel very sad. He just visited the Eastern Capital this year in the name of east.
He led hundreds of civil and military officials and an army of hundreds of thousands of guards to rush to the eastern capital and eat for several months before returning.
Is it possible that next year, I will have to continue to eat in Luoyang in the name of touring the eastern capital?
Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a painful sigh, and that guy Cheng Sanlang gave two suggestions.
These two suggestions are really nothing new. After all, it’s not like I haven’t considered them before. However, both suggestions have their own pros and cons.
However, considering the long-term plan, Li Shimin would be more sympathetic to the proposal of moving the capital.
It's a pity that moving the capital is not that easy. Although I was inspired by Cheng Sanlang at the time, I patted my chest and guaranteed that I could handle all the civil and military officials.
But in fact, it’s really hard to do. After all, the Tang Dynasty was founded here, and this is where the foundation of the Tang Dynasty lies.

Moving the capital to Luoyang, haha, to put it mildly, the Central Plains family is bound to have another overt and covert fight with the Guanlong family for various interests.
Maybe the ministers in the court would think that they, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, were not considering the long-term development of the Tang Dynasty, but only for other purposes.
Li Shimin's scalp went numb when he thought of those messy stakes.
Of course, he could insist on his views regardless, but such an approach would be difficult to get the full support of the important ministers in the DPRK.
It might even cause even greater troubles. Li Shimin was not willing to be like Yang Guang. Yang Guang's failure was precisely because he was too arbitrary and too eager to achieve success.
Slowly walking to the pond that had begun to thaw, Li Shimin couldn't help but subconsciously asked Zhao Kun.
"During this period, has Cheng Sanlang been honest enough to stay at Duke Lu's mansion?"
When he heard that he was asking about the demon moth, Zhao Kun, who had already done his homework carefully, shook his head subconsciously.
"……Maybe not."
"Huh?" Li Shimin took a breath with toothache. "Tell me, what is that kid doing during this time?"
"According to the report from Xiuyi Envoy, he spent most of this time at Cheng University with His Highness King Wu."
"However, there are still many craftsmen who will serve as supervisors who were summoned by His Highness King Wu to serve at Cheng University."
Li Shimin glanced at Zhao Kun beside him with a suspicious expression.
"Have you found out what they are doing?"
"The news from the Embroidery Envoy is that they are making various architectural wood samples designed by Cheng Sanlang."
"The specific purpose is still unclear."
"Building wood model...Cheng Sanlang?" Li Shimin muttered with suspicion. "What does this kid want to do..."
Zhao Kun rolled his eyes covertly, "Don't guess what Cheng Sanlang is thinking, you can't guess it anyway."
Li Shimin stood still and looked at a branch next to him that was still covered by a thin layer of snow. The winter bud sheath seemed to be slightly cracked, and traces of green were looming.
"Tell me, tell me, where did he go before he found a general to supervise the craftsmen?"
"He went to Panheng, the East Palace, and then to Da'an Palace. Two days later, he was summoned to Da'an Palace by the Supreme Emperor."
"After that, he went to find His Highness King Wu. On the same day, His Highness King Wu went to the general supervisor to find Young Supervisor Cui..."
Listening to Zhao Kun racking his brains, he stuttered and reported Cheng Sanlang's whereabouts during this period.
Li Shimin seemed to feel that he had captured something, so he immediately turned around and gave instructions to Zhao Kun.
"Hurry up and tell King Wu to come to the palace to see me. I want to see if these guys are trying to cause trouble without telling me."
Hearing Li Shimin's quick and fast instructions, Zhao Kun felt his heart tremble, and he quickly agreed loudly and hurried away.
Looking at Zhao Kun's fat and muscular back, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes into a thin slit, hoping that it was what he had guessed.
Li Ke had no idea that his father would send someone to summon him so early.
However, he had already anticipated this day when he and Brother Chu Bi started their covert operation.
"How long will it take for your Highness?" Zhao Kun asked somewhat unhappily while sitting in the hall.
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Ke, who was very energetic and radiant, walking quickly and smiling apologetically.
"Come, come, General Zhao. I'm really sorry. Xiao Wang was just preparing some information to present to his father, so he came a little late."
After hearing this, Zhao Kun almost wanted to ask what information it was, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. His Majesty would not avoid him when taking care of the children anyway.

In Cheng's University, Cheng Chubi, whose eyes were a little dark, was standing in a large room specially set aside.
And inside the house, it is already filled with various architectural wooden models with unique shapes, each and every one of them is so exquisite and beautiful.
There are both Dashi-style architectural styles and ancient Greek-style buildings, and of course Southeast Asian architectural styles are also indispensable.
And what kind of Gothic or Baroque architectural style, well, at least it's really that style, who knows, oh no...
As long as Cheng Sanlang knows it himself, he is not a real master of architecture. He only knows roughly what the inside is like and what the outside is like.
Anyway, it's almost the same. Draw the pattern, and then the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty will naturally find ways to solve the unreasonable parts.
In addition, there are naturally many fountains such as the big water method that was most commonly seen in movies and TV dramas about Yuanmingyuan.
Cheng Chubi walked slowly among them, looking here and there, with a huge sense of accomplishment on his haggard face.
The largest wooden sample of a building is about one foot high and two feet wide, and the smallest wooden sample is not even as big as a palm. There are nearly thirty kinds of them, large and small, scattered all over the place.
On the side, the unscrupulous artists from Cheng University and the craftsmen from General Supervisor were also full of joy and sense of accomplishment.
"Thank you for your hard work, master craftsmen. Your craftsmanship is really amazing. Every wooden pattern looks like a real building..."
Even for these stone buildings, you were able to simulate them with wooden samples, which convinced Cheng.
If it weren’t for everyone working day and night with Cheng, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been completed so quickly.”
