My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

In the Daming Palace in Chang'an, Li Shimin cried for a long time after learning of Li Yuan's death. He felt more and more guilty towards Li Yuan when he was fighting with Li Jiancheng.

   "Your Majesty, the convoy of His Highness the Crown Prince has already entered the city." An **** said to Li Shimin who was wearing plain white mourning clothes.

   "Well, I see." Li Shimin's voice was low.

  The **** turned around and was about to leave when he heard the words, when Li Shimin's words came again, "Let's hold a national funeral!"

   "Yes." Not long after the **** left, the Daming Palace immediately had a death knell, and bursts of mourning resounded throughout the Daming Palace.

The first thing Li Yin did when he arrived in Chang'an was to hand over Li Yuan's body to the officials in charge of the funeral of the Ministry of Rites. Then he and many princes and princesses also put on the plain white clothes sent by the Ministry of Rites. Naturally, there is a special ceremony for Li Yuan's funeral. The staff is in charge, and he doesn't need to intervene to ask these things.

A group of people changed their clothes, and then arrived at Daming Palace. Compared with the previous Taiji Palace, Daming Palace obviously surpassed Taiji Palace in terms of luxury, and all the equipment inside can basically reach the level of Yizhou Prince's Mansion, but at this time The entire Daming Palace is plain white, and even the maids and eunuchs have changed into mourning clothes.

   "Father, the princes and princesses are all here." Li Min met Li Shimin in the main hall where the funeral was held in the Daming Palace, as well as Li Yuan's other heirs, and they sobbed softly at Li Yuan lying in the coffin.

Hearing Li Yin's voice, Li Shimin wiped his eyes. Under the instructions of the presiding official, Li Shimin led the royal family members to follow the order of the ceremonial officials to carry out the funeral ceremony step by step, and various complicated etiquette systems made the funeral ceremony last for a whole month. During this period of time, the whole of Chang'an was shrouded in this dull atmosphere, no fun, no marriage, until Li Yuan's funeral was over.

Li Yin has been staying in Chang'an for more than a month. After all, he is the prince and cannot break the rules. Speaking of it, Li Yin is also a little sad, but this sadness comes from the friendship he has gotten along with Li Yuan over the years, and it is not like Li Shimin who lost his father. After all, Li Yuan is not his real relative, so he just sent away an old friend during the whole process, unlike Li Shimin who lost a lot of weight, and Li Yuan's other descendants did not have a deep affection for Li Yuan. Impression, after all, when Li Yuan was imprisoned by Li Shimin, they were still very young.

   "Father, you have to take care of your health." Li Yin came to Daming Palace this day to bid farewell to Li Shimin, and saw Li Shimin's thin appearance, Li Yin said.

  Li Shimin was a little out of his mind, and instead of answering Li Yin's question, he said something irrelevant, "Lang, is there really no longevity in this world?"

Hearing this, Li Yin was stunned. Li Shimin used to be obsessed with taking pills, but after being exposed by Li Yin seven years ago as a fake Taoist priest, he never looked for the technique of longevity. The impact of the collapse has created a fear of death. When a person has endless wealth and rights and can enjoy everything in the world, he must be afraid of death. "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this time?"

   "It's nothing." Li Shimin seemed to have recovered, and said again: "Since Yizhou is busy with government affairs, you can go back."

  Li Yin still wanted to ask, but seeing Li Shimin's distraught look, he opened his mouth and finally turned around and left the hall without saying anything.

Then he went to say goodbye to Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang. At Concubine Yang's place, Li Yin told Concubine Yang about Li Shimin's strange condition. Concubine Yang sighed after hearing the words: "Your father has been looking for Taoist masters everywhere these days. I think it must be your father who has become interested in the longevity technique again. After all, the death of your emperor's grandfather made him understand the importance of emperors. Just like ordinary people, they cannot escape death."

   "This elixir is not good for the body, mother concubine, you and the queen mother have to persuade father and emperor." Concubine Yang's words made Li Yin finally confirm his guess.

  Sighed lowly, Concubine Yang shook her head, "Who can persuade your father to come back to the matter that your father decides, this time your father even plans to build a Taoist temple in the back mountain to practice Taoism."

   "This is simply absurd. Could it be that Emperor Father wants to imitate Emperor Jiajing?" Li Yin blurted out.

   "What Emperor Jiajing?" Concubine Yang looked at Li Yin suspiciously and said.

Li Yin suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth. This Emperor Jiajing was a prince who loved Taoism in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't go to court for twenty years. He just asked the immortals. He didn't want Li Shimin to become like this. Wrong words."

Concubine Yang withdrew her suspicious gaze and said: "Actually, there is another reason why your father is like this. Your grandfather left your father a letter saying that he suggested that you read early and intervene in government affairs. Now you only care about your Yizhou. Is the land of the Tang Dynasty only in Yizhou? I think what your grandfather said makes sense. You are now a prince, so you can’t be so biased. Because of this, your father is going to hand over state affairs to you so that he has time Let’s continue his quest for immortality.”

  Li Yin couldn't believe it, "But Father didn't tell me about it."

   "You will know soon, after all, he has to deal with the ministers." Concubine Yang seemed to say another matter of course.

Coming out of Concubine Yang's palace, Li Yin still couldn't digest the sudden change. Li Shimin planned to retreat behind the scenes and let him take charge of state affairs. Li Yuan's death really stimulated Li Shimin.

But in this way, Li Shimin can be his happy emperor, eating, drinking and having fun, asking immortals to catch him, but in this way, the crown prince Li Yin will suffer, and the whole Tang Dynasty is on his hands body.

  He returned to Yizhou with a feeling of anxiety, and within ten days, as Concubine Yang said, Li Shimin came to Yizhou with an imperial decree, letting the prince Li Yin supervise the country and be the prime minister of state affairs.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for taking charge of state affairs!" As soon as the imperial decree arrived, the officials of all sizes in Yizhou were the happiest. Yan has pushed to the pinnacle of power, and the status of these old subordinates will naturally rise.

   "Your Highness, it's time for you to pack up and go to Chang'an." Shangguanyi smiled like an old fox, and they still had some kind of affection for Chang'an in their hearts.

Hearing this, Li Yin rubbed his head in pain. No matter how prosperous Yizhou is, it is not the capital of the country. Since he, the crown prince, is in charge of the country, it is not a problem to live in this place. After the imperial decree arrived, Li Shimin even talked to Li Yin. , he planned to hand over the former Tai Chi Palace to Li Yin as the Prince's East Palace.

"Well, Shangguanyi, you can also draw up a list. Whoever stays will go to Chang'an. We will start a comprehensive reform of Datang this trip." The sale starts, and the high welfare policy can be implemented soon. It will be too late if the government reform of the entire Tang Dynasty is not carried out at this time.

   "Yes." Shangguanyi said happily, after waiting for so many years, he could finally go back with high spirits.

Discussed with the officials about going to Chang'an. Shangguanyi took all the officials away. After the officials left, Cui Yingying and Su Morer walked into the Palace of Political Affairs. Su Moer said: "Your Highness, there is no need Shall we go there?"

"You guys should stay in Yizhou for the time being. After going to Chang'an, I will let Luo Anguo's engineering team build Chang'an. You can come back after all the facilities there are completed." Li Yin thought about it and said, just as Concubine Yang said that he can't just make Yizhou rich and honorable, it's time for other places to enjoy the treatment of Yizhou, and after he went to Chang'an, he planned to build Chang'an, and at the same time let private capital enter Chang'an. Sooner or later, Chang'an will undergo major construction. After all, sooner or later he will become the monarch of Datang. It is not appropriate to designate Yizhou as the capital of the country, because Yizhou is too remote, and at this time, the population of Datang is still mainly concentrated in the north. r1152
