"By the way, General Qin, I still remember the soldier named Ning Yuan who killed Altai. Did you promote him to an official position?"
Qin Zaiming clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the general has promoted him to the rank of captain."
"Okay! This is the time for me to employ people. Dear friends, you should find more capable people around you and make good use of them for our Tang Dynasty."
Quan Wanji looked at Li Ke in the court at this time, with mixed feelings in his heart. He originally disapproved of Li Ke becoming emperor, but now it seems that Li Ke, the emperor, seems to be doing his job more and more easily.
If there was only one emperor in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, Quan Wanji would definitely be able to assist him. But after all, there was still someone sitting in Chang'an City at this time, and Li Shimin was not unkind to him at the time.
He was originally placed next to the third prince Li Ke so that Quan Wanji could always remind him and restrain Li Ke.
But now, not only has this effect not been achieved, Quan Wanji has also accidentally become Li Ke's general to return to Germany. What a trick of fate!
Quan Wanji turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji beside him. Like himself, he had no choice but to support Li Ke as emperor. Now it seems that even Changsun Wuji has compromised, so he should stop struggling. .
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. The duel between father and son is only a matter of time.
"Your Majesty, since we have conquered the Turkic Kingdom, I suggest that you build a royal palace for your Majesty. Your Majesty cannot always live in this small palace!"
"I'll wait for reconsideration!"
Li Ke did not rush to answer the ministers' words, but looked at Changsun Wuji. At this time, Changsun Wuji's thoughtful eyes were also looking at Li Ke.
Li Ke seemed to see Changsun Wuji's inner thoughts in his eyes. The situation between the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty would not last long. Changsun Wuji still hoped that Li Ke could one day eradicate the witch in Chang'an City.
He truly ascended the legitimate throne. Although compared to Li Zhi, Li Ke was an uncontrollable person, but fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was still in the hands of the Li family. As long as there was no change of ownership, the world would still be Li Tang.
Li Ke's thoughts coincided with Changsun Wuji's. Is he building an imperial city? Is there any better place in the world than Chang'an City? Is there any better imperial city than the one in Chang'an City?
It is only a matter of time before we attack Chang'an City, and it is only a matter of time before we truly ascend the throne as emperor. Thinking of this, Li Ke said to everyone in the hall.
"I know that what all your beloved ministers have said is true, but since I have just ascended the throne, my top priority is not to build a palace, but to think about how to improve the country's power and how to convince the people if we expand the territory."
"I have just won a battle and built the imperial capital. If I say it, the people will inevitably criticize me and think that I am a foolish king who is greedy for enjoyment. At this time, we will discuss it in the future."
As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the hall fell into deep thought. They understood the emperor's concerns and understood his difficulties.
Chang'an City, this ancient and prosperous city, was their former home and their pride.
However, they also knew that in order to truly stabilize the throne, enhance national power, expand territory, and convince the people, the attack on Chang'an City must be based on a long-term plan.
In a short period of time, there may not be another major war. Although the Turkic Kingdom has been captured, the subsequent governance work will be even more difficult.
Changsun Wuji stood up. He looked at Li Ke, bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns."
"However, although the construction of the imperial city is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it requires the investment of time, manpower and material resources. However, the construction of the imperial city will also drive economic development and enhance the country's comprehensive strength."
Li Ke nodded, knowing that Changsun Wuji was telling the truth. However, he also knew that Li Ke currently did not have enough strength to build a new imperial city.
He looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "Lord Changsun, I will consider your suggestion. However, now I think the most important thing is to stabilize the domestic situation and enhance national strength."
After hearing the words, Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. We can build a palace in Licheng, which can be used as both your Majesty's palace and an important place for the court. This can satisfy your Majesty. demand, and it won’t consume too many resources.”
Li Ke listened to Changsun Wuji's suggestion, and a glimmer of thought flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Changsun Wuji's suggestion was a compromise plan that could meet his needs without causing resentment among the people.
He looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Lord Changsun, this is a good suggestion. I accept it. However, I still have one request."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji immediately asked, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Li Ke looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "I hope this palace can become a symbol of the Tang Dynasty. It should not only reflect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but also reflect the culture and history of the Tang Dynasty. But don't go too far. Instead of extravagance, economic use is best.”
Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard Li Ke's request. He knew that this request was not easy to achieve. However, he also understood that this was the emperor's trust and expectation for him.
He looked at Li Ke, bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to build a palace that symbolizes prosperity, culture and history for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Ke looked at Changsun Wuji and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that he had a group of loyal ministers who would work with him to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous.
In the days that followed, Changsun Wuji personally participated in the design and construction of the palace. They hope that this palace can become a symbol of the Tang Dynasty and make the people of the Tang Dynasty proud.
During the construction of the palace, Changsun Wuji encountered many difficulties. He will take into account various factors such as the palace's geographical location, architectural style, and building materials.
However, they did not give up. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to complete this task.
During the construction of the palace, the relationship between Li Ke and Changsun Wuji also became closer.
They discuss problems together, solve problems together, and face difficulties together. During the construction of the palace, Li Ke also received strong support from many local wealthy families.
At the same time, it also solved the employment problems of many people. Of course, the reinforcement materials of this palace were reinforced with cement developed and produced by Li Ke.
After a lot of hard work, the palace was finally built. This palace is located on a hill in Licheng. Its architectural style is simple and elegant, and its building materials are carefully selected from various places.
Its existence is like a monument, standing on the land of the Tang Dynasty, symbolizing the prosperity and cultural history of the Tang Dynasty.
