Chapter 439 March 3

The dismantling work on the Lingtai side has been completely completed, and even the original foundation has been dug out.

The times are developing. The comprehensive national strength during the Tang Dynasty has expanded many times compared to the Han Dynasty. This originally magnificent spiritual platform has been expanded a lot according to the new design. It is still three levels in total, representing the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. This will not change, but the height of each level is equivalent to twice the original one.

This building also needs to reflect its magnificent style, which is integrated with the earth, cannot rise from the ground, and appears steep and abrupt, so its base must be expanded. When the height is doubled, the base will also be expanded simultaneously. Only by the same proportion can it ensure its beauty and harmony.

Although the courtyard where the spiritual platform is located is originally very wide, the free area around it will appear narrow. Once the emperor uses the spiritual platform to sacrifice to the sky, civil and military ministers will accompany him, and the courtyard will appear cramped when the surrounding houses are demolished, and the courtyard wall is gone. The new spiritual platform will be built before the courtyard wall will be rebuilt.

Bao Jiye found hundreds of people and was digging the foundation again according to the plan. The foundation should not only be deep but also wide, but also fill it with baked three-dimensional soil and then tamp it with compaction. This not only makes the foundation stable, but also does not have insects.

When Li Chengqian arrived at the Lingtai, he saw such a busy scene.

Chengxin was still with him. The prince asked for help. Taichang Temple was just appointing a children, so naturally he would not be embarrassed. Therefore, although Chengxin was still affiliated with Taichang Temple, he was already considered a person around the prince.

Li Yu accompanied the prince to inspect the construction site and was with the prince. Li Yu noticed that the underwear with the collar had rolling silk embroidery edges. Not only was the fabric excellent, but the embroidered worker also was fancy. When he was standing in the limelight with the prince, he also brought a faint fragrance with the wind.

Looking at the side wing, I seemed to have applied powder lightly, the lips were moist and bright, and my eyebrows seemed to have been trimmed, and they were curved and charming. If it weren't for the throat joints, I would look more like a woman.

At this time, Li Yu noticed again that the prince was so arrogant that he grabbed his hand. He shrank and did not break free, so he left him. He just glared at the prince shyly and angry.

Although he was reluctant at first, he had been satisfied with the prince, and he couldn't enjoy it all. Besides, he could not resist the prince, so he had to be a female rabbit. After getting used to it, he adapted to this relationship, and his words, deeds, and even mentality were a little feminine.

Li Yu didn't know what was happening between the two of them. Seeing this scene, his hair stood up.

What's going on? It seems a bit weird.

"Li Jianzao, have you heard what Gu said?"

Li Chengqian smiled with a gentle smile, frowned in displeasure, and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu was shocked by the scene just now, and didn't notice what the prince was saying to him. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes! This...Mr. Rong thought about it..."

Li Chengqian's face darkened and said, "Thinking? What else can I think about! On March 3rd, the construction of the spiritual platform must be completed!"

Only then did Li Yu understand what Li Chengqian was saying. He quickly glanced at the side and saw that Bao Jiye was embarrassed and shook his head slightly.

If there is another official, the prince will give the order and will obey immediately. Let’s please the above first. As for how to complete it, the unlucky guys below will do it with their heads down, and if they can’t do it well, all the responsibilities will be shirked to them.

Li Yu is not like this. This kind of technical work is more important than the people above who are slapping their heads and directing them.

Li Yu immediately said: "Prince, the Lingtai project is very large. It is the Chinese New Year again. Officials are on holiday and the people are off work. It will not be completed on March 3rd."

Li Chengqian always said the first half of the sentence, when did he be so contradicted by someone? Li Yu said a reasonable sentence. Li Chengqian was already angry. He rolled his eyes and shouted: "If there is not enough time, then stop all holidays and work day and night. If there is not enough manpower, then recruit a few more people and take turns to construction! Don't listen to your reasons. Be sure to complete the work before March 3rd!"

Li Yu listened and thought this was also a solution, so he asked Bao Jiye for inquisitive eyes.

Bao Jiye was anxious and took the courage to step forward and whispered: "Crown Prince, you don't know anything. This place is so big, and you can recruit more people. At the same time, they can't get into it. If you come in turn, it needs to be tamped, solid, dry, and dry. All kinds of differences, it takes time and there is no way to start construction, especially this foundation, which is the foundation. It is necessary to ensure that the typhoon is exposed to the sun, rain and snow, invades cold and heat, and will not fall for a thousand years. Then..."

"What kind of thing are you?"

Li Yu is fine. He is an official at all times. The prince is not easy to do, and Bao Jiye is also making noise. The prince's perverse temper immediately broke out and kicked him out.

Bao Jiye rolled down a bun with a "ouch" and covered his stomach with pain, hunched over like a shrimp.

"Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao?"

Li Yu hurriedly chased him and helped Bao Jiye up.

Li Yu said solemnly: "Old Bao, the prince's instructions, how can you disobey? Give me a real idea, can it be completed before March 3rd! But don't deceive me in order to occupy the project. I will only need a word from Yang Daliang, and we will also get a real idea. Our friendship will last for a long time!"

On the earth slope, he patted the prince's chest with a gentle voice: "Look at you, you have such a strong temperament, what should you do on March 3rd? What's wrong with it later?"

"What do you know!"

Li Chengqian lowered his voice: "March 3 is Shangsi Festival, one of the Three Orders of the Tang Dynasty. The government allocates funds to make all officials pay for rewards. The emperor gave a banquet at Qujiang Pavilion as usual, and promoted peace by singing and dancing. Qujiang is now Li Tai's!"

It turns out that the Shangsi Festival on March 3rd is an important festival in the Tang Dynasty. On this day, people not only practice rituals, but mainly go outings for spring and conduct "outing" activities.

During the festival, people come to the waterside of Jiangzhu Pond, and use spring water to wash dirt to remove diseases, drive away evil spirits and avoid monsters, play in the water and play for fun.

Outings are people coming to the suburbs to look for spring flowers, have banquets and make friends, have heart-to-heart talks, or sing and singing to enjoy the bright spring scenery of nature.

Therefore, every March 3rd, people in Chang'an came out of the city at this sun, causing the whole city to be boiling and lively. Du Fu's "Beautiful People" wrote: "The weather is new on March 3rd, and there are so many beautiful people by the water of Chang'an."

When people go out for a trip, their favorite place is Qujiang. The place where the emperor gave banquets to all officials was also Qujiang. Not long ago, Cen Wenben wrote a letter to impeach Li Tai's mansion that was too luxurious and cost too much. Emperor Li Shimin comforted Cen Wenben's loyalty, but did not reduce the cost of reducing the Wei royal palace.

Not only that, Li Shimin was also afraid that the fat son would be unhappy when he heard about this, so he gave Qujiangchi to him and classified it as real estate under the name of the King of Wei. In this way, it would be equivalent to the emperor's banquet on the territory of King Li Tai of Wei on March 3rd, and the emperor would give a banquet to all officials on the territory of King Li Tai of Wei.

How could Li Chengqian bear this? That's why he insisted on completing it before March 3. The construction of the Lingtai is a major event. When it was just completed, a grand inauguration ceremony would inevitably be held. If he had done cleverly and brought his father and civil and military officials to the Lingtai on March 3, it would have completely suppressed Li Tai's arrogance.

Even if the ceremony cannot be held on March 3rd, he can make the Qujiang Banquet lose its color on March 3rd. For this reason, Li Chengqian naturally insisted on completing the construction before March 3rd.

Li Chengqian snorted coldly: "Please guarantee it will not fall for a thousand years? After a thousand years, who cares whether it is standing or collapsed! Is it the only thing that is the present!"

At the bottom of the slope, when Bao Jiye heard Li Yu ask this, he was almost crying. A man actually had tears in his eyes and said to Li Yu: "Li Jianzao, this is the command of the prince. If he can do it, he will use Lao Bao's courage to make excuses. It's really impossible to complete it! If Li Jianzao doesn't believe it, he can ask Yang Daliang. It's winter now, and the construction period is slower! If it really takes force, if there is a heavy rain next year, your little head may fall off, because... the spirit platform collapses!!!"

I'm going to have such a scene, not only yours, but my head can't be saved!
