Li Lingyue successfully resolved Princess Chengyang's suspicions about the identity of the person who came up with the idea. She looked at Princess Chengyang sweetly, and then expressed her gratitude to Princess Chengyang on behalf of Li Hong and the border soldiers.
With the idea given to her by Li Lingyue, Princess Chengyang had a backbone. She had always been aggressive in style. After a few words of greeting with Li Lingyue, she left on the pretext of preparing winter cotton clothes for the border soldiers.
Watching Princess Chengyang leave, Li Lingyue hurriedly ran into the Li Zheng Palace, looked at Pei Wanying and Guan Wan'er with expectant eyes, and said the words that Li Hong would occasionally say when he was excited: "Yeah!"
"How's it going? You agreed?" Pei Wanying was the most excited among the three. After all, this idea was hers.
"Of course, I can't help but Aunt Chengyang refuses to agree to my princess's move. But having said that, Sister-in-law, you are very bad. In order to help your husband, you actually encouraged me to lie to Aunt Chengyang." Li Lingyue said with bad intentions. Now With the emperor's sister-in-law Pei Wanying in hand, it will be easier to blackmail her in the future.
Pei Wanying smiled and pinched Li Lingyue's small waist lightly, and continued to smile: "Isn't this for your own good? If your imperial brother does not get the benefits, then the two generals will be released, and we will see how hard they endure. Don’t you know who is the boss? Especially An Xi.”
At the end of the sentence, Pei Wanying stuck out her sweet tongue in a cowardly manner, causing Li Lingyue to make faces as well.
"Well, what Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said is that if you just tell His Highness the King of England, even if His Royal Highness brings Xue Shao back, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay for long before he will be sent back to Anxi by His Highness the Crown Prince? So it is Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess who has the best idea. It's safe." Shangguan Wan'er said with a slight smile on her face, looking at Li Lingyue and Pei Wanying hugging each other.
"Yes, yes, you two are right, okay? One only thinks about her husband, and the other starts turning her elbows outward before she has even passed the door. Hmph, I should have known this..."
"Hey..." Shangguan Wan'er looked embarrassed. If it were in front of Li Hong, maybe she wouldn't be so embarrassed. But in front of the Crown Princess, being teased by Li Lingyue like this, even the calm and calm Shangguan Wan My son couldn't stand such teasing, so he hurriedly stepped forward to cover Li Lingyue's mouth.
"Yo? You two are really not a family unless you enter the same house. You are ganging up to bully my sister-in-law... Ah... Shit Wan'er, please stop it, itchy... Haha... Emperor's sister-in-law, Ling Yue knows she is wrong." Yue Yue said in March. In the Li Zheng Palace, they were fighting together regardless of their status, and it was a happy scene. Even the palace maid next to him was busy making way for the three ladies, with a relaxed smile on his face.
The three people who had had enough trouble were panting and sitting on the sofa with rosy cheeks. After a while, the three people returned to their dignified, noble and elegant appearance, which was completely in stark contrast to the three people who were laughing and coaxing together just now. .
Shangguan Wan'er and Pei Wanying looked at each other. The relationship between the two was obviously more harmonious than before. Amidst the laughter, Shangguan Wan'er was no longer as embarrassed to face the Crown Princess as she was just now. .
Li Dan held a glass of juice in his hand and walked past the three women like a zombie. He looked at the three women and walked around in front of them blankly. Finally, he saluted Pei Wanying and then went to himself. He took his maid back to the mansion first, leaving Li Lingyue, who might be staying here tonight, to follow Guan Wan'er.
Qianling Mausoleum is composed of three peaks, one in front and two in back. Different from the imperial mausoleums that could be seen in the previous life, the foot of the mountain in front of Qianling Mausoleum now looks more like a large market.
Unlike the previous life, after the precipitation of time, only the weight of history and an unguarded desolation remain.
Although it is already winter, there are still a large number of uncarved large rocks, giant trees, etc. placed at the foot of the mountain. Craftsmen are either carving stone statues or measuring giant trees. Under the supervision of Taichang Temple, everything was going on in an orderly manner.
Rows of wooden houses where craftsmen live will form a village, or even two villages, in the years to come, and what will emerge from this are the royal tomb keepers.
The pines and cypresses on both sides exude some wilting greenery in the cold winter, but in the dry and yellow winter, it is enough to make people's eyes look new. The auspicious stone carvings are not neatly arranged on both sides of the passage. Today they are still three to five. Groups of people are crowded together, and the real layout stage has not yet begun.
Li Hong rushed to Xianyang yesterday at night, and all the ministers were still on their way. If he wanted to discuss with them, he would have to wait until tomorrow, so today Li Hong took Hua Meng's light chariot and a simple ride , accompanied by the Xianyang County Magistrate, walked in the cemetery where his father Long rested.
Since the entire cemetery is a replica of Chang'an City, the city outline, imperial city, and palace are all complete. The dedication hall, cloisters, towers, ancestral halls, etc. have already been built. Walking in the outer city, for Li Hong, who is familiar with the layout of Chang'an , now it’s like walking in a miniature version of Chang’an City.
The bell tower was built according to the regulations at the four corners. From the beginning of its construction, it has already had the function of a drum tower. The soldiers guarding the cemetery have also been patrolling here from the beginning to prevent surrounding people or wild animals from intruding into it.
The trees on the three mountains have long been replaced with favorite trees, plants, etc. according to Li Zhi's preferences. Although they are withered and depressed in the cold winter, traces of artificial cultivation can still be seen.
Li Hong looked at the entire building on the ground and found nothing that could make the old man feel wronged. The huge cemetery was much larger and more luxurious than the Zhaoling Mausoleum of the late Emperor Li Shimin. Too much.
After all, considering the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is understandable to build such a luxurious cemetery. Who makes the Tang Dynasty think that nothing but money is money.
"Who has been here recently?" Li Hong stood at the door of the underground palace, turned around and looked at the long and straight passage, and asked lightly.
The Xianyang County Magistrate was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to lead His Royal Highness into the underground palace instinctively, His Highness suddenly asked him who had been here recently.
"This... Your Highness, there are too many people coming and going. Basically every month, people from Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple come to inspect. I need to go back and check before I know."
"In the recent period, who has come from Chang'an?" Li Hong scratched his head and motioned to the Xianyang County magistrate to lead the way.
"Recently..." The Xianyang County Magistrate thought as he walked, and said thoughtfully: "Half a month ago, the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Sizhi, and the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple, Wang Hongyi, came here."
"Zongzheng Temple is responsible for the genealogy of the royal family, clans, and relatives, and it is responsible for guarding the royal mausoleums. Taichang Temple is responsible for rituals and music, suburban temples, communities, altars, and mausoleums. There is nothing wrong with the two of them coming here. There is no underground palace, have you said anything?" Li Hong walked in the long corridor, knocking on the thick bluestone walls around him from time to time.
"I was not accompanied that day, but the county magistrate accompanied the two of them. I went to call the county magistrate?" The Xianyang County Magistrate glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince who was walking around. He didn't understand that His Highness the Crown Prince arrived suddenly last night. Today, The purpose of coming here early in the morning.
But no matter what, there must be something important when His Highness the Crown Prince comes here. As the magistrate of Xianyang County, he does not dare to speak casually and can only tell the truth.
Li Hong nodded casually, waved for him to leave, and then continued walking forward accompanied by Hua Meng.
Li Hong did not let the general supervisors, Zongzheng Temple, and Taichang Temple officials stationed here to accompany him. Instead, he only took the Xianyang County Magistrate to the underground palace. Now that the Xianyang County Magistrate left, in the underground palace of Nuo Da, They were the only two left.
The craftsmen who were originally working in the underground palace were cleared out early because of his arrival, and the entire underground palace was also cleaned. In Li Hong's opinion, even if Father Long died at this time, he would not move in immediately. question.
However, he only dared to think about such a rebellious thing in his heart, and did not dare to say it out even to Hua Meng.
"How come this Xianyang County Magistrate doesn't know all the questions? Has he encouraged others?" Hua Meng is now becoming more and more suspicious, and his protector's heart is becoming more and more loyal. If there is a little bit of something detrimental to His Royal Highness, Hua Mengdu would start from the worst-case scenario and strive to help His Royal Highness resolve his worries in the shortest possible time.
"Normally, Xianyang is in Chi County, Gyeonggi Province, and the county magistrate is an official of the fifth rank. Although Taichang Temple Prime Minister and Zongzheng Temple Cheng are officials of the fifth temple, they are only officials of the sixth rank, so the county magistrate cannot It is reasonable to be accompanied by the county magistrate instead. Moreover, in terms of functions, Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple have no control over the county magistrate. It is strange that the magistrate of Chi County would please them. "Li Hong said leisurely.
The underground palace buzzed with their words, but because the corridor was too long, by the time the sound reached the entrance of the underground palace, not only had it weakened, but it had also become increasingly blurry. Other officials at the entrance of the underground palace simply couldn't hear it. It was unclear what words were coming from inside, but there was a vague buzzing in the ears.
The tomb is divided into three chambers, front, middle, and back, as well as the ear chamber. The middle chamber is the widest room. The place where the coffins are placed, also called the Zi Palace, will be treated with moisture-proof and antiseptic treatments, and then covered with various treasures. Then add the so-called seven-star board.
Li Hong glanced at it casually and stepped towards the back room. There was a stone bed in the back room, and clothes, swords and other items were placed on it. In the future, things that Li Zhi liked during his lifetime could be put in as long as they were not human beings. In this back room.
If you feel that it is not enough, you can also place various items of your choice in the ear chambers on both sides. Naturally, in the area of the front, middle, back and both sides of the ear chambers that Li Hong can describe as a square, Li Hong does not think there is anything. , which cannot be accommodated here. As long as the Zichen Palace is not really moved in, absolutely anything can be placed.
From this, he had to sigh that the luxury of the emperor's family can only be truly felt after being in the emperor's family. Otherwise, even with the imagination of high-ranking officials and nobles, he would not be able to imagine it. , why is the luxury of the emperor's family called luxury
