Queen Changsun's words surprised Li Ke.
"Don't you feel sad, mother? Such a touching thing is false, it was made up by my son." Li Ke asked curiously.
"Don't be sad, my mother knows what you mean, but if this thing is not true, it means that there is no such woman in the world who was killed. It is already difficult for women in this world, like the mother who comes from a wealthy family. It's okay for those from aristocratic families, but it's really difficult for some women from ordinary people." Empress Changsun shook her head and said.
"It can't be said that I'm not sad. To be precise, although there is no such woman, the people who suffered are real. No one can argue with this."
"Yes, the Queen Mother is right, these people are the worst off." Li Ke also nodded.
"What do you two mean? Are you singing harmony here?" Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable listening to this. Are you going too far? I, the emperor, am still here.
When you say that the people are suffering, don't you mean that there is something wrong with my rule, Li Shimin? Although it was not my rule at the time, it still made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's your attitude?" Queen Changsun glanced at Li Shimin.
Li Ke gave his mother a thumbs up without saying anything, "Okay!"
She is worthy of being the famous Empress Changsun in history. In private, Empress Changsun is actually very good at adjusting the atmosphere. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not love her so much.
"You are commenting on these, I can't speak anymore." Li Shimin immediately protested.
"It can be said that the Tang Dynasty belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. Who dares to deny His Majesty the Emperor's words?" Empress Changsun glanced at him and said.
"You did this on purpose. I just said something to him. What's wrong? This is what happened. Didn't he deliberately create such a story to make many people think that I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not protect the people!"
"Although I was not in power at that time, the Tang Dynasty had already been established, and that was Gaozu." Li Shimin glared at Li Ke.
"I think it's pretty good." Empress Changsun said directly, "That's true, but Ke'er also said that during that period, the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and the people in the world were not living well. Otherwise, the former Sui Dynasty would not be able to make a living. May perish.”
"And today, people all over the world know what kind of life they are living. So wouldn't it be easier to compare your achievements, Your Majesty?"
"Yes, yes, you are all right." Li Shimin said helplessly.
"Then Dad, I won't go to the palace. I'm going back." Li Ke looked at the palace gate and said.
"Wait a minute. Maid Guanyin, you go back first." Li Shimin said to Queen Changsun, and then got off the carriage. Li Ke had no choice but to get off the horse.
The convoy of carriages all headed towards the palace, and Concubine Yang and the others also went back. Naturally, the other princesses also followed, and only Li Shimin stayed behind.
"Come on, follow me up there for a walk." Li Shimin pointed to the tower of Zhuque Gate.
Li Ke was a little speechless. He wanted to say, I don't want to. In his last life, he also graduated from NPU. He had been staying in Xi'an for who knows how long. He had walked around the city wall several times, and he didn't want to go shopping.
Climbing up the city tower, you can basically see the entire Chang'an city at a glance. "By the way, I came up this time. I remembered that my opinion is that your bell tower should not be built in Zhuque Square, but should be built directly on the Zhuque Tower. The Zhuque Tower Tear it down and put a bell tower on it.”
As soon as he climbed onto the tower, Li Shimin pointed to the Suzaku Tower in front of him.
Li Ke thought for a while, and it was okay, but in this case, the base of the city wall of the Suzaku Tower would not be able to withstand it.
"Then the city wall may have to be demolished and re-founded." Li Ke pointed to the city wall under his feet and said. Such a city wall is actually very strong, even stronger than traditional reinforced concrete in terms of durability. Some walls are in There will be no problem inside for a thousand or two thousand years, but reinforced concrete will definitely not work.
But there is a problem, that is, its load-bearing capacity is not as good as that of reinforced concrete. If the building on top is overweight, it will definitely not be able to support it.
However, Li Ke also had a way. The upper tower foundation was directly hollowed out to lay a reinforced concrete foundation below, and then the outer shell of the city wall was built around the load-bearing columns of the foundation using traditional blue bricks, glutinous rice, and rammed earth.
In this case, the concrete inside may be stored longer.
"It's up to you. When the time comes, you can follow the work. Oh, you can just start work directly after saying hello to the Ministry of Construction." Li Shimin said.
While talking, Li Shimin walked to the crenellations of the city wall and looked at Chang'an City below. Li Ke also walked over and stood beside Li Shimin. The city wall here was not a very tall building compared to later generations, but it was From the Tang Dynasty, one could almost have an unobstructed view of the entire city of Chang'an.
"Are you digging a hole for a wealthy family again with your stage show?" Li Shimin asked, looking at Chang'an City, which was mostly dark.
"Ah? Why do you say that? I didn't." Li Ke shook his head.
Li Shimin was a little helpless. He looked back at Li Ke and said, "Can I still not see what you are doing? Let's not say whether this story is true or not, but you can make up as many similar stories as you want, right?"
"What I'm trying to tell you is, sometimes you don't push them too hard."
"How can I not." Li Ke shook his head and said, "Besides, even if I force them, what can they do? At the current position, even if I want to kill people, they have to quickly choose someone for me."
"But if things get really urgent, the world will be in chaos, right? Even if it's not chaos, it will still affect the pace of your reforms." Li Shimin said helplessly.
Li Ke instantly turned his head and looked at Li Shimin, and said with a vigilant expression: "Father, what do you mean by this? What does it mean to affect the rhythm of my reform? That is a matter between you and my eldest brother. It has nothing to do with me. I am just out of control." Come up with ideas.”
Li Shimin: "..."
How on earth do you do it, you look alert even if you step aside a little bit? ! Is your self-defense excessive? !
Conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn’t mean anything else just now, he just followed what he said, but good guy... look at those vigilant eyes, people who don’t know would think that your father wants to harm you.
"Dad, what's your expression like? I'm telling you, don't hurt me." Li Ke looked at Li Shimin's expression and said again with a vigilant look on his face.
"Dad, I'm telling you, don't mess around. It's not easy for me to deal with this great situation in the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it's the eldest brother or Li Tai, I have handled them very well. Now we are respectful brothers. The situation is difficult to see, Dad, don't be careless." Li Ke said earnestly.
