Chapter 826: Cultivating Successors (1)
…
After more than three years of construction, Yanjing City has undergone earth-shaking changes.
When designing Yanjing City, it was based on the records of "Nine Classics and Nine Means", "Front Dynasties and Later Markets", and "Left Ancestral and Right Society" in "The Book of Zhou Li·Kaogong Ji", with a grand scale, strict planning and complete facilities.
Yanjing City is divided into four levels as a whole, namely the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the Forbidden City.
The four gates of the imperial city are Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'anmen. The imperial city not only includes the Forbidden City, but also the Sojitan, Jingshan, Taimiao, Zhongnanhai, Beihai, Wansuishan, Taiyechi, Huangshizu, and the Prince's Mansion. In addition, the Thousand Prince's Mansions lived in by Li Yan's sons (as the name suggests, it is a thousand royal palaces. However, because Li Yan has too many sons, although these Thousand Prince's Mansions are called "King Mansions", each one is not large in size. They are all four-entry courtyards, and they look exactly the same. For fairness, distribution is strictly arranged according to age.)
The nine gates of the inner city are Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Andingmen, and Desheng Gate. The meaning of the nine gates of the inner city is generally like this. Zhengyang Gate means "the holy lord is on the yang, the sun reaches the middle of the sky, and all countries pay homage to it"; Chongwen Gate means "cultural education is suitable for respect"; Xuanwu Gate means "Wu Lie Promotion"; Chaoyang Gate means "welcome the guest and leave the sun"; Fucheng Gate means "things are prosperous and the people are safe"; Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate takes the meaning of the people's prosperity and education to the east to the east sea and west to the west to the west; Andingmen means "civil officials praise the peace, and then enjoy it"; and Desheng Gate means "military generals report achievements on the battlefield, and win victory and return to the dynasty."
There are seven gates in the outer city that live in ordinary people.
The inner, outer and imperial cities are unified into five administrative regions: east, west, south, north and central.
The imperial city is not allowed to enter and exit at will, and there are no strict restrictions on the inner and outer cities. In other words, although Dazhong does not allow challenging imperial power, it allows the people to become nobles, giving hope to the common people.
After passing through the outer and inner cities and coming to the imperial city, Li Yan called off the dragon chariot.
Because the imperial city does not allow ordinary people to enter and exit at will, and because Li Yan's family has not officially moved into the imperial city yet, the imperial city seems much deserted compared to the bustling and bustling outer city and inner city, especially for Li Yan, who first entered the imperial city.
After walking off the dragon chariot, Li Yan came to the phoenix chariot and helped Liu Huiniang down, and said, "Let's walk over this last path."
Liu Huiniang smiled and said, "Is the official family excited?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "It's the queen who knows me." Then, while holding Liu Huiniang's hand, Li Yan walked towards the Forbidden City, he said, "I feel like I feel like a dream. I didn't expect that I am so loved."
Liu Huiniang said, "This is the result of the government's continuous efforts over the past decade."
Holding Li Yan's big hand, Liu Huiniang was also filled with emotion!
Although Li Yan is lustful and has no love for all women, Liu Huiniang thinks she is the happiest woman in the world.
Over the years, there have been countless women around Li Yan, including those who are extremely excellent in all aspects, and those who Li Yan likes very much, but none of those women can shake Liu Huiniang's status as queen.
This is not only because Liu Huiniang is smart and capable of leading the entire harem, but also because Li Yan has always supported Liu Huiniang without reservation and does not allow anyone to shake Liu Huiniang's status as queen.
Just like now, at this extremely important moment, Li Yan's thousands of concubines and more than 10,000 women could only sit in the carriage and follow them far behind, while Li Yan held her hand and personally led her into the Forbidden City, proclaiming to everyone that she was the only mistress of the Forbidden City.
Moreover, in addition to not allowing any woman to shake Liu Huiniang's position as queen, Li Yan also did not allow any of his sons to shake Li Cun's position as crown prince. Even many of Li Yan's sons showed that they were excellent.
Just like Li Yan allocated housing to his sons.
Each of the Thousand Princes' Mansions only has a four-in and four-out yard covering an area of less than 2,000 square meters.
However, Li Cun’s prince’s mansion has a large mansion with an area of 99 and a half, covering an area of nearly 100,000 square meters.
In addition, since three years ago, Li Cun has followed Li Yan to deal with state affairs, while others have no chance to participate in politics.
Therefore, Li Cun's position as crown prince is unshakable.
Therefore, Liu Huiniang was full of love and gratitude to Li Yan.
After walking with Liu Huiniang for a while, Li Yan said, "How is Cun'er's body?"
When Li Yan asked about Li Cun’s physical condition, Liu Huiniang felt a little worried!
Her son Li Cun is good everywhere, but he is a little in poor health and is not willing to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.
As a result, not long ago, Li Cun suddenly suffered from a serious illness!
In this era, a serious illness is likely to cost human life. Over the years, Li Yan has actually died of more than 20 children, which is because Li Yan has many children. Otherwise, the death of these twenty children is enough to be sad for Li Yan.
Later, if it weren't for the three miracle doctors in the world, An Daoquan, Kong Hou and Mou Jie, who had been concentrating on their full efforts to treat them, Li Cun might have died young.
After recovering from the illness, Li Cun's health became worse, so Li Yan drove Li Cun back to rest.
Calculate the time, Li Cun has been in tranquil for almost a hundred days.
Liu Huiniang said, "Doctor An, Doctor Kong, and Doctor Mou said that Cun'er is fine and can continue to deal with the government affairs with the government."
Li Yan was silent for a while when he heard this, then said, "Since Cun'er's health is fine, I will let Cun'er go to Ningxi to serve as the county magistrate or chief clerk."
“What?”
When Liu Huiniang heard the words, her pupils shrank!
Where is Ningxi?
That is the front end of Longyou. The environment is harsh, either in the mountains or in the desert. The people there are strong people. The local Tubo people will rebel from time to time. Even the Han people there are stronger than other places. They are surrounded by many grassland kingdoms and tribes such as Xixia, Tubo, Uighurs, etc. The international situation is extremely complicated, there... In short, Ningxi now is the worst and most complicated place.
The key is that Li Cun is in poor health, isn’t he going there to be a risk?
In fact, with Liu Huiniang's intelligence, it is impossible to understand that Li Yan asked Li Cun to serve as the county magistrate or chief clerk in Ningxi. That was to train Li Cun and give Li Cun the opportunity to establish prestige. In order to let Li Cun take over his throne in the future?
But as a mother, Liu Huiniang is really worried that Li Cun is in such a dangerous place in such a bad health!
Li Yan did not urge Liu Huiniang to believe that Liu Huiniang would definitely figure it out and make the right choices.
really!
After a while, Liu Huiniang's face became firm, and she said, "When will Cun'er take office?"
Li Yan said, "In a few days, I will let him take the imperial examination anonymously. If he can pass the exam, he will be transferred together with the talents selected from the same period. If he fails..."
Speaking of this, Li Yan looked at Liu Huiniang and smiled and said, "That means that we have trained him in vain over the years."
Like Liu Huiniang, Li Cun has the ability to remember everything he has and is diligent in studying. Therefore, Liu Huiniang is very confident in Li Cun, so Liu Huiniang said confidently, "Will my son not pass the exam?"
When Li Yan heard the words, he laughed, then hugged Liu Huiniang in his arms, kissed Liu Huiniang on the forehead, and then continued to hug Liu Huiniang and walked forward, saying, "Then I will wait and see."
After walking for a while, Li Yan suddenly stopped and said to Liu Huiniang, "By the way, there is another thing that I have to tell you."
