Days are everlasting

In the 13th year of Kaiyuan, because the kings were growing up and it was not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, the emperor ordered the construction of royal residences in the northeast area of ​​Chang'an City, mainly between Yongningfang and Xingfufang in the south of Daming Palace, for adult seals. The king's prince lives.

Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty was built on the basis of Chang'an City in Sui Dynasty. The layout in the middle has been changed, but it basically conforms to the principle of axisymmetric and centered on the location of the palace city. With the scale of the princes today, the residences of the princes will undoubtedly be expanded. Therefore, even the construction of the basic residence, plus site selection and planning, is quite troublesome.

But the will of the Son of Heaven cannot be changed after all. He is not willing to let the kings leave the cabinet to take charge of the government. Instead, he encloses his descendants to prevent them from interfering in political affairs, just like the emperor Zetian used to raise descendants who did not suit his wishes. Sorry for the princes.

In fact, there are only so many positions in the court, and the participation of the kings in the court affairs means that the shares of their ministers have been divided. Therefore, they were able to pretend to be deaf and dumb to Yao Chongren's conditions, and even strongly supported them. Now, after Yao Chong's death, they will not be careless to speak for the kings, so that they have the opportunity to intervene in the court situation.

The court is already chaotic enough, the royal clan should play with themselves.

Even though Li Siyi was deeply favored by the emperor, he could not escape the same fate as his brothers.

Perhaps the crown prince is also treated in this way, even considering his status, it is already harsh. Such news can make the princes who have been entrusted feel better.

In addition, it is the matter of changing the names of the kings and the crowning of the prince.

From the crown prince Li Siqian onwards, the princes ranked by the word Si are all the same as the younger brothers next to the word Congshui, including Li Siyi and his younger brother An Wang Li Min who are different from the princes. Also in this ranks, the name needs to be corrected.

The change of the prince’s name in the Tang Dynasty is probably regarded as a tradition since the Gaozong Dynasty. Zhongzong Li Xian and Ruizong Li Dan both had the experience of changing their names, so they used their identities to comfort Li Siyi who was resistant to the name change. .

Gaozong Li Zhi, who was also keen to change the name of his beloved son, also began to analyze Li Longji's mentality, but the matter of the prince's name change was just a trivial matter to the world's major events, and Li Siyi did not expect Li Zhi to analyze it. Come.

Keeping the ranking of all sons' names consistent can be regarded as Li Longji's obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the names of the princes can somewhat show his affection for his sons.

Like Li Siyi, with such a unique name, everyone knows that he is the beloved son of the emperor.

There used to be a saying in Concubine Wuhui's palace that Jiulang—of course referring to Li Siyi, who was ranked ninth among his brothers—was much more expensive than the crown prince, and you can know it just by looking at the meaning of the name. Later, this kind of statement was forcibly banned by Concubine Wu Hui. Not only was it not allowed to spread outside the world, even her own palace was not allowed to say it casually.

However, it is absolutely true that the names and titles of the princes can reflect part of the emperor's intentions.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were two emperors whose names were Daishui, Gao Zu Li Yuan and Gao Zong Li Zhi. Of course, these two names cannot be chosen, and there are no names similar to their meanings among the princes.

In March, when the name was officially changed from Li Wei, the eighth son of the emperor, to Li Yi, the 22nd son of the emperor, Li Min changed his name to Li Huai, which was fine, but Li Siyi changed his name to Li Yuan. The meaning of the name is still somewhat similar to that before the name change, which is naturally eye-catching.

Leaving aside Li Yuan's younger brothers, An Wang and Li Huai, Li Qing, the eighteenth son of the emperor, was granted the title of King of Shou, and Li Mu, the 21st son, was given the title of King of Sheng. , only Li Yuan's King Xia is a king title with ancient title connotations, which is different from King Qing, King Zhong and other titles that no longer have actual geographical titles after being renamed, which is very special. And this kind of king title with the meaning of the ancient country has always been the more noble type of king title.

Kings: Aye, isn't it a well-known fact that he is biased?What can we do, we are also desperate!

But for the kings, there is really a way to improve their status in Li Longji's heart in the near future.

Some courtiers made a memorial, suggesting that the Supreme Being go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

Li Longji: Oh, what a shame.

The so-called Feng Chan refers to the two activities of "Feng" and "Zen". Feng is a sacrifice to the sky, and Zen is a sacrifice to the earth. Among them, there are 72 famous emperors such as Wuhuai, Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi who were ordered by the Queen of Heaven. The point is that these people have made great achievements, and there were frequent auspicious signs when they were enshrined in Zen.

At present, it can be verified that Qin Shihuang was the first to confer Zen after Shun and Yu, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Feng Chan is not something that anyone can seal. First, this person must be a true hero who is ordered by heaven, that is to say, the emperor after a change of dynasty and a change of master. The world is peaceful, in short, the degree of difficulty is very high.

Li Longji could count on one hand the number of emperors who had been enshrined in Zen before.

Emperor Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty—this old man, as the son of the plane, turned the tide, restored the Han family, and let the people recuperate. In this way, going to Fengchan was discussed by people—the last one is Li Longji’s grandfather , Gaozong Li Zhi.

It stands to reason that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was more qualified than Gaozong to enshrine Zen. At that time, some officials did indeed suggest that Emperor Taizong go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

But Taizong himself must be humble, right?

Then, Wei Zheng, a famous admonisher in the Taizong Dynasty, said, Your Majesty, do you think that the Tang Dynasty has recovered well after the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty?Do you think your exploits have already surpassed the world?You feel……

Li Shimin: I won't be banned, it's okay if I don't go to Mount Tai!

Li Yuan still remembers that when he first learned this part of the anecdote of the dynasty, the Emperor Taizong who was floating beside him had a very low aura. say.

In fact, Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi's Fengchan was largely promoted by Empress Wu Zhao. As for the purpose, of course, it was to allow the empress to stand in front of the stage and reproduce the Sui Dynasty's Sui Dynasty. The grand event of the Holy Prominence even went one step further.

The ancestors of Ah Piao, who knew some things about the later generations, can already say with certainty that going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen seems not only not to benefit them, but also to make them all unlucky.

Qin Shihuang, um, needless to say, the tragedy of this man who hoped that his descendants would live forever and die as a result of the second generation, and when his old man went to Mount Tai, the various visions along the way did not make him feel good; Emperor Wu of the Han, um If it weren't for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the late Han Dynasty, who forcibly continued the life of the Western Han Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty would also change from prosperity to decline in the era of Emperor Wu. As for Liu Che's muddled things in his later years, let alone; For half his life, he lived a normal life as a son of a plane, in exchange for the rise of countless noble families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then, in name, "the country will perish with the weak, and the Han alone will perish with the strong", but in fact it is the local tyrants who become bigger The outbreak of future troubles caused by it, coupled with the fact that the doll emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was almost a water child, was indeed a tragedy; the last Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, if he had to count, could also give his queen and later Wu Zhou's Zetian Emperor. Counting, Li Tang almost died after Gaozong, and Wu Zetian was miserable in his later years, emmmmm.

This is the bad result of not having enough levels, but insisting on putting gold on one's face.

Although later generations called Li Longji's rule during the Kaiyuan period the prosperous Kaiyuan period, countless hidden dangers had already been buried in this prosperous period.

Even though the treasury of the imperial court was full during this period, enshrining Zen was a costly activity after all. From the beginning of enshrining Zen, Li Longji gradually walked towards a luxurious road of no return.

The former emperors floating around Li Yuan came to a conclusion almost at the same time: pills.

Li Yuan, who still wants to defend himself in front of his ancestors, is not happy. Others just talk about it. Uncle Zhongzong, His Majesty Li Xian, was extravagant during his reign and led to the corruption of the court. He looked down on Li Longji, who was suggested by a minister to go to Zen, so hey!

Li Xian immediately pretended to be stupid: Aren't we talking about you, Aye, who looked like a ghost after you went to Taishan to enshrine Zen, and that hidden dangers will definitely explode in a few years?

Li Yuan: What kind of ghost is the upper body of a ghost!

Li Xian, who accidentally revealed a little information he had absorbed from later generations, felt a little guilty.

The thing is, in fact, this is the case. They, the former emperors, chose this time period to save the Li Tang Dynasty. Naturally, they knew that the Anshi Rebellion that led to the chaos in the world, and the source of the Anshi Rebellion was not so much Concubine Yang Gui, but rather Li Longji he himself.

Whenever the king of the country is subjugated, and he did have a wise and powerful appearance before, the courtiers naturally do not admit that people will change, but think that it is all women who misuse the country, and all kinds of crimes are blamed on women. body.

But if the monarch himself is sober enough, there will be no such result.

It is said that Concubine Yang is Li Longji's replacement after losing Concubine Wu Hui, but his love for Concubine Yang far exceeds Concubine Wu Hui.

If we talk about the love of the emperor, it should be in both of these two women. The only difference is that behind Concubine Wu Hui there is some family power that Li Longji fears, while Concubine Yang Gui, who has a weak background and whose family depends entirely on the support of the emperor, is the only difference. There is no capital to make him vigilant.

Li Yuan: So, should I write a letter to ask Aye to enshrine Zen or be a clean stream of a group of mudslides? Should I not do that?

Of course, the practical answer is obvious.

The author has something to say: Tomorrow I will take the second exam, emmmm, I feel a little nervous for no reason, and I will improve my character ingQAQ every day
