The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

It was just that Li Shimin had not moved into this palace. Later, he fought fiercely with the crown prince and the King of Qi, and became the crown prince. He moved from the original Qin Palace to the current East Palace.

Therefore, the original Hongyi Palace was empty, and no one lives there now.

It is also very close to the Taiji Palace.

If it is moved, it is indeed a good place, just let people repair it and change the name.

"But the scale of that palace is not as large as the Taiji Palace. If we just ask the emperor to move there..." Li Shimin hesitated again and again: "It's not very safe."

The main reason is that Li Shimin is now concerned about his reputation.

The emperor has already given up his throne to him. If he just ascended the throne and drove people out of the Taiji Palace, it would make the court officials feel that he has left and the tea has been cold.

Now Li Shimin has to handle the government affairs well, and he also has to maintain his reputation.

This is related to the evaluation of him in history books........

But no matter what, the emperor lived in Taiji Palace, which was on the central axis of the entire Chang'an City and was a symbol of the emperor.

It was not right for an emperor to always live in the East Palace.

Instead of letting Li Shimin tear his face and drive him away directly, it would be better for Li Fu to maneuver in the middle and let Li Yuan move there willingly.

So Li Fu was thinking of a way.

He had to protect Li Yuan's face.

"Your Highness, do you want to see the furniture I sent?" Li Fu asked with a smile.

"Furniture? Some furniture, what's so good about it?" Li Shimin shook his head: "Let's talk about business."

Li Shimin is not very interested in these external things now, and his heart and eyes are full of thoughts on how to build a beautiful Tang Dynasty.

When he came to power, the outside world had quite a few complaints, and they all thought that he was not in the right position. Therefore, he was even more trembling and worried when he sat in this position. He must do some achievements. He can do what other emperors can do, and he must do what other emperors cannot do.

Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty become strong and let the world see that he is right to be the emperor!

"Second brother, I am talking about business." Li Fu smiled and said, "Yesterday when I went to deliver furniture to the emperor, the emperor liked it very much and even vacated a side hall for me to tidy up for him."

Li Shimin was thoughtful after hearing this.

"Although the Hongyi Palace built by the emperor for the second brother is not as well-regulated as the Taiji Palace, it can be changed." Li Fu smiled and said, "Second brother, I will decorate it, and you approve the note."

"Approve the note?" Li Shimin looked at Li Fu in confusion.

"Well, how much money will it cost to renovate and decorate such a large palace? My Jingyang Palace is so poor that I have to pawn my pants. You can't let me pay for it, right?" Li Fu said, "Second brother, I am here to help you out."

Li Shimin understood that the so-called approval note means money.

"In that case, then transfer money from the Ministry of Revenue." Li Shimin said, "Draw up a plan and hand it over to me to see how much money is needed."

Li Shimin was very tempted by Li Fu's proposal.

How to make the emperor leave Taiji Palace willingly is a question he has been thinking about for the past few days.

At present, there is a solution to the problem, but money has become a problem again.

Whether it is the national treasury or the inner treasury, Li Shimin's hands are tight. People from the Ministry of Revenue come to him to cry about poverty, and he knows how much the inner treasury is.

"Okay, then my second brother will assign me an official from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. I will go with the people from the Ministry of Works to take a look and calculate the amount." Li Fu said.

As long as the regulations are passed, the project fee will not be a problem.

The furniture factory has just been established and has received such a large order.

When he left the palace, Li Fu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

The project fee, that is the project fee for decorating an entire palace...

Tsk, I'm rich.

As for the Ministry of Works, Li Fu discussed with Li Shimin and asked for someone.

This person is now the chief craftsman of the Ministry of Works, Yan Rang, Yan Lide.

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Li Fu hurried to find someone.

Ministry of Works.

"Master Craftsman Yan, the Prince of Jingyang is looking for you outside."

Yan Lide, who was leaning over the desk to look at the blueprint, raised his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Prince of Jingyang? Looking for me?"

I have never met the Prince of Jingyang before, why did he come to see me?

"Yes, he is waiting for you outside now, go quickly." The colleague reminded again.

"Okay, I will go right away." Yan Lide responded.

After carefully putting away the drawings, he straightened his clothes and went to the hall to see Li Fu.

"Your humble servant Yan Rang, I pay my respects to the Prince of Jingyang." Yan Rang saw Li Fu and bowed.Salute.

"No need to be polite, Master Yan. This is the imperial edict from His Majesty. Master Yan, please read it." Li Fu handed the edict written by Li Shimin to Yan Lide.

Yan Lide took it with both hands and opened it to read.

After reading it, he understood.

"So that's how it is. I will obey the orders of the prince." Yan Lide said with a bow.

"I wonder if Master Yan is free now. Let's go to Hongyi Palace for a walk." Li Fu said.

"Everything is arranged by the prince." Yan Lide responded.

"Okay, please."

"Please, the prince."

The two left the Ministry of Works, and Yan Lide got on the carriage with Li Fu and his guards and headed towards Hongyi Palace.

The scale of Hongyi Palace is not small, but compared with the imperial city, the location is a little remote, but the scenery of the mountains and forests on the Hongyi Palace side is very good. Compared with the majestic and grand Taiji Palace, Hongyi Palace is a quiet place.

After all, he is the emperor, so the place he lives in cannot be too dignified.

"Compared to Taiji Palace, the scale of Hongyi Palace is still a little small." Li Fu stood in Hongyi Palace and said to Yan Lide: "We have to change this."

Otherwise, when Li Yuan comes to see it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

In the Tang Dynasty, the word filial piety can crush people.

Hongyi Palace is not just one palace, but also a palace complex.

The main hall is the Chuigong Front Hall, with a mountain village on one side, and then there are the Jiwu Hall, Cuihua Hall, and the Jijiu Platform, which are also fully equipped.

"This place was once built for your majesty to use. Your majesty has not moved in, and this place has been idle." Yan Lide said: "If you want to re-ownership, you have to repair it well."

"Who says it's not." Li Fu smiled and said: "The main thing is to expand the scale, look majestic and majestic, and make people live comfortably."

"Then, in this case, the cost will be much higher." Yan Lide said.

"Things that can be solved with money are no longer a problem." Li Fu said, "When the time comes, we will make a budget, His Majesty will approve the note, and the Ministry of Revenue will pay the money. Don't worry."
