Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When the people below had almost finished recording, Li Ke continued: "Other than that, there are a few mass graves and tombs outside the city, how about this, draft an edict in my name, saying that it is for Chang'an City With the development, Datang will establish several public cemeteries near Chang'an."

"The common people can move to the public cemetery, and the moved people will be handed over to the Taoist priests of the Taishi Bureau. If the common people pay attention to this, then prepare the work of moving the graves."

"As for the public cemetery, both of your counties have sent people to make relevant investigation preparations. The Taishi Bureau will cooperate more, and look at Fengshui and so on."

"In addition, when relocating the tomb, pay attention to cremating the coffin being moved to avoid being infected with diseases such as the plague. After the processing is completed, the ashes inside can be picked up and moved to the tomb again."

"As for those who have no owners and have tombstones, they should be re-engraved according to the words on the tombstones and moved to the public cemetery. As for those who only have graveheads and can't find people, let them return to ashes and dust to dust." Li Ke waved his hand .

"Yes!" The county magistrates of the two counties saluted first. To be honest, these things are still very troublesome for them, but these methods of His Majesty are very good, and most of the work is handed over to the Shangguan. Just execute it.

Of course, it will be relatively simple to negotiate with the people when the time comes. After all, His Majesty said it would be in His Majesty’s name.

According to His Majesty's status in the hearts of the people, there is no problem in moving the tomb.

"By the way, regarding the cemeteries, the Minister of Finance can issue documents to various states, counties, etc., which are common to the entire Tang Dynasty. Let's not talk about the cemeteries in the past. Nowadays, near various cities, whether they are big cities or small In cities, the county should try to allocate a public cemetery to the people."

"When publicizing, just find some Taoist priests and find some places with good feng shui for the people, and don't let them bury them indiscriminately."

"In addition, some wealthy businessmen, aristocratic families, etc. often have their own ancestral graves and the scale is quite large. If possible, try to divide the public cemeteries next to their ancestral graves and allow them to keep more of them. Some areas, but need to buy.”

"In addition, it is not allowed to point fingers at public cemeteries. This is my bottom line." Li Ke said calmly.

"Yes!" Everyone bowed their heads and said.

"In addition, the Xianling Mausoleum and the divided Zhaoling Mausoleum area will be reduced by one-third, and the surrounding areas will be freed up for the common people to establish public burial areas." Li Ke said calmly.

Xianling is the location of the tomb of his grandfather Li Yuan, and Zhaoling naturally belongs to Li Shimin. Historically, at this time in Zhaoling, Empress Changsun had passed away and Zhaoling had been opened.

But now Queen Changsun is alive and well, but Zhaoling still determined its location and named it.

However, since all the powerful families must be under control, the royal family must naturally set an example. This means that Li Ke considers that other things are easy to talk about, but regarding the ancestral tombs, there is really a lot of resistance, so Li Kecai gave these wealthy families a preferential treatment.

They do not need to move their graves, but a part of their ancestral graves must be set aside as a public cemetery.

Anyway, it goes without saying that the location of the ancestral tombs of these aristocratic families must have seen Feng Shui, and ordinary people naturally have no objections.

As for Zhaoling, there were more than 180 separate tombs buried with Zhaoling in history, and Li Shimin’s Zhaoling was very large in area, and the circumference drawn by later generations was about [-] kilometers. In fact, it was in the Tang Dynasty. When divided, the area becomes larger!

After Li Ke shrank by one-third, its circumference was estimated to be as large as forty or fifty kilometers.

"By the way, now that we are talking about this, I know that the Taishi Bureau is also selecting these areas for me. I will make it clear now that my tomb area will be half of the reduced Zhaoling area. . The scale should not be too large, and it does not need to be luxurious." Li Ke remembered something and explained again.

The ministers in the court originally wanted to say something, but when they saw that His Majesty had directly seized the territory from the tombs of his grandfather and the Supreme Emperor, and he himself only wanted one-half of the Supreme Emperor's, who dared to say anything?

It is estimated that no one in the world's rich and powerful families would dare to say one more word. Just like His Majesty said, they have already left enough face for them.

After dealing with these things, this court meeting has basically come to an end. Things that need to be dealt with have been dealt with before, and the remaining things will be discussed after the year.

One thing worth mentioning is that the Great Dynasty Meeting in the Tang Dynasty was originally held in Yuanzheng, which was at the beginning of the year, but Li Ke was not used to it. Who would have nothing to do on the first day of the new year?

So Li Ke moved the court party to New Year's Eve, which is the last day of the year.

After the court meeting, there will naturally be a routine gathering for dinner. In the afternoon, everyone can go back to their homes, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year at home, and they can take a break directly on the first day of the new year. .

This is of course good news for everyone, so no one objects.

This meal is different from previous years. In the past, Li Ke could sit with these generals and brag, but this year he is the one sitting in the main seat. Not only that, but also Li Yan, Wu Xu, Yang Anning and the others all need to come out.

So Li Ke was also a little helpless. Gone are the days when he used to drink wine and recite poems, mocking and squashing Zhijie Lang!

But that's okay. No one comes to drink with Li Ke anymore, so it's a lot easier and we can have fun in the midst of hardship.

You still have to eat when you need to eat, and you still need to drink when you need to drink.

After the previous meal ceremony was over, Li Ke went directly to the tables below with a glass of wine. This was no problem.

This was basically the case in previous years. There were so many courtiers that it was impossible for them to all come over to drink with Li Shimin. In the past, Li Shimin would go down and have a drink with them to show his closeness.

Naturally, Li Ke wanted to maintain this tradition, and he would naturally go to Fang Xuanling's table first.

"Liang Guogong, Zheng Guogong, Zhao Guogong and all other princes, you will have to worry a lot about the Tang Dynasty next year and in the future." Li Ke patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder as he spoke.

"You have assisted the two kings of Qin well. This is also a good story in history."

Everyone hurriedly smiled and expressed their stance, but Fang Xuanling and the other three couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts. The others didn't know the truth, but they three knew it.

Your Majesty said you should take a lot of trouble, which means you really need to take a lot of trouble!

But can they say no?cannot.
