Yuan Tiangang came out of the main hall and strolled out of the palace gate. Suddenly he saw a carriage slowly driving out from Xuanwu Gate, and he couldn't help but look strange. Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of Taiji Palace. Who dares to ride in the palace? The emperor is now
In the East Palace, it can only be the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan has never left the Tai Chi Palace since the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Although Li Shimin never stated that he was under house arrest, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. Therefore, Yuan Tiangang was surprised when he saw a carriage coming out of the Tai Chi Palace.
.
But the courtesy should not be discarded. When the carriage approached, Yuan Tiangang still bowed and saluted, intending to wait for the carriage to pass by before leaving.
Suddenly the carriage stopped, and the little eunuch on the carriage opened the curtain, put his head in and seemed to have listened to the order, then came out and said to Yuan Tiangang: "Is this Qintian Eunuch Yuan Tiangang on the side of the road?"
"It's Wei Chen."
"The Emperor invites you to ride together."
"Don't you dare! I don't dare!" Yuan Tiangang said quickly.
"Get in the car!" Li Yuan's old voice came from the carriage. Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment and then got on the carriage. Although he was once an emperor and a courtier, Li Yuan could already leave the Tai Chi Palace at this time. How could Yuan Tiangang not know about the relationship between father and son?
The relationship between the two has changed, offending the Supreme Emperor? This kind of stupid thing cannot be done.
Yuan Tiangang got on the carriage, and the young eunuch raised his whip and continued to move forward. At the same time, four horsemen chased out of the Xuanwu Gate, standing in the distance. Even if Li Shimin was not worried about his father conspiring to usurp his throne, he was still worried about his father's safety.
These four people were the people he secretly arranged to protect Li Yuan's safety.
The space inside the car is spacious, and there is a table. On the table are a plate of cakes, a plate of fruits, a plate of dried meat, and a pot of wine. Li Yuan is dressed in brocade clothes and has a futou, which makes him look less like an emperor and more like
It was a wealthy businessman. Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted, but he didn't know what to call him.
Li Yuan took a glass cup and put it in front of him and said, "When you get out of the palace gate, just call me 'Li Ka-shing'."
Seeing Li Yuan holding the pot to pour wine, Yuan Tiangang quickly took it and poured a glass of wine. Li Yuan motioned for him to drink, and Yuan Tiangang drank it all in one gulp. When the wine went into his throat, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Good wine!"
"Of course it is good wine. Li Mu brewed it himself. Is it the same as what is available on the market?" Li Yuan put down the wine cup, looked at Yuan Tiangang, and asked: "Zhulu Hou Li Mu, have you heard of it?"
"Uh...I've heard of it."
Li Yuan frowned and said: "Who am I? I'm telling you that after you leave the palace, I will be Li Ka-shing. Mr. Li Jiacheng, the wealthy Li family in Longxi, remember this!"
"Promise." Yuan Tiangang did not dare to disobey, so he had to agree.
Li Yuan stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and said, "I heard that you are good at Feng Shui and hexagrams. I have something to ask you."
Yuan Tiangang hurriedly said: "Do you feel ashamed to ask me? What do you want to ask Duke Jiacheng? I will do my best."
"I want to open a business and build a five-story building outside Chongrenfang..." At that moment, Li Yuan explained the plan for the five-story building and said, "Li Mu can help me with this business matter, but only
I had to come up with this name myself. But I thought about it for several days and searched all the classics, but I couldn't think of a good one. There are two names that I prefer, but I still can't make up my mind which one to choose.
Aren’t you good at Feng Shui? Come and help me choose one!”
Yuan Tiangang was stunned. He was wondering if he had not woken up, otherwise he would have heard the Supreme Emperor saying that he wanted to do a business! He couldn't help but secretly pinched his thigh with his hand. He grinned in pain and started to fight.
Spirit said: "I wonder which two names do you prefer?"
"I originally thought of calling it 'The No. 1 Building in the World', but I think this name is not very good. Think about it, the emperor is the emperor, and being the best in the world is considered extremely honorable by others, but I am the emperor's father.
How can it be below him? But naming the first floor in the sky seems disrespectful to the gods. I thought about it and came up with another name. What do you think of "heaven and earth"? It is both in heaven and on earth.
Do not offend the gods."
Yuan Tiangang was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he secretly thought that he was unlucky. How could such a tricky question happen to me? It seems that he has to do a divination before going out tomorrow. If the divination is wrong, he can't go out. Listening to this voice,
The first floor in the world, the Supreme Emperor is not satisfied in his heart. But if the name "Heaven and Earth" reaches the emperor's ears, what will the emperor think? Yuan Tiangang, you are flattering. In order to flatter the Supreme Emperor, you don't put the Emperor in the first place.
In eyes!
Yuan Tiangang struggled for a long time, then he made up his mind and made a decision. Youdao said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. After all, the Supreme Emperor is already the "Top Supreme", so he should take care of the Emperor first.
"Hmm... From a Feng Shui perspective, I think the first floor in the world is more appropriate."
Li Yuan was indeed displeased and said: "Why is the first floor in the world suitable? I think heaven and earth are more suitable!"
Yuan Tiangang said in his heart that you have already decided the matter, why do you have to ask me again! Just as he was racking his brains to think of how to justify himself, suddenly the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the curtain: "Master, we are here!"
Hearing this, Li Yuan dropped the half-chewed dried meat, glared at Yuan Tiangang, and said: "I will tell you later, you must give me a reason!"
After saying that, Li Yuan opened the curtain and got out of the car. Yuan Tiangang gave a wry smile and also got off the car. Seeing this, the four riders who had been hanging behind him dismounted one after another and slowly came closer.
The little eunuch had arrived at the construction site of Chongrenfang. Li Yuan left the palace today just to see how the progress was. He had stayed in Taiyuan in his early years and was responsible for supervising the construction of the city. Although he could not be said to be proficient in construction.
, but he also knew the secrets. When he came this time, he was not worried that Li Mu would embezzle his money, but he was worried that Li Mu was young and could not afford such a large project. Now that he saw it, his doubts disappeared. As far as he could see, the craftsmen
They worked enthusiastically. It seemed chaotic, but it was orderly. Even the removed bricks and stones were neatly stacked, which made people feel very comfortable.
Little did he know that Li Mu demolished these bricks and stones to use them to build houses for craftsmen. The so-called demolition of the east wall to repair the west wall meant that Li Yuan had plenty of money anyway, and it was impossible for him to use old materials when building a building. These old materials were thrown away
It would be a waste to use it to build houses for the craftsmen. There is a shortage of money and materials there, and only Li Mu's ten thousand gu are supporting it, which is far from enough. A little bit can be saved.
Li Mu was discussing the construction with Gongsun Kang. Suddenly he saw Li Yuan coming from the corner of his eye. He quickly put down what he was doing and came over. Gongsun Kang wanted to follow, but Li Mu drove him away. Although Li Yuan would not be able to hide his business sooner or later.
, but it’s still not easy to let too many people know.
