On the other side, there is the Royal Palace and the Imperial Palace.
At this time, in the Lizheng Hall, Li Er and Queen Changsun were sitting on the main seats.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King of Jin Li Zhi, Princess Changle Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang Li Xiyao, Princess Chengyang Li Lixian, and Princess Jinyang Li Mingda were sitting around them.
None of them spoke. They were all concentrating on the fat man wearing a python robe and dancing in the center of the hall.
At this time, Li Tai, the king of Yue, was standing in the Zhengzheng Hall, with high spirits, and vividly recounted the groundbreaking ceremony of Qinjiazhuang.
From the high platform built by the Qin Mansion, to the magical iron trumpet, to the impassioned speeches made by Qin Ming, to the waves of warm applause from the people, and finally to the fireworks that filled the sky.
Everyone felt like they were listening to a book from heaven. Some were surprised and some didn't believe it, but most of them were fascinated and wished they could be there in person to witness the exciting scene.
Li Mingda was the youngest. After listening, he pulled Li Tai's sleeve and yelled at him to tell him again!
And asked the fourth brother to describe in detail how elegant and elegant Qin Ming brother was at that time!
Jin Wang Li Zhi pulled Li Tai's sleeve and begged him to take him to the groundbreaking ceremony of Chang'an City tomorrow.
And he promised that when the time comes, he would give Fourth Brother a good round of applause!
Prince Li Chengqian looked at his energetic younger brother, feeling relieved but also a little lonely.
After all, as the prince, he also hopes that one day he can share some affairs for his father and do some practical things for the people!
As for Li Lizhi and Li Xiyao on the side, they were happy but also a little regretful.
If they had known that Qin Mansion's groundbreaking ceremony would be so lively, they should have gone with their fourth brother this morning.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, who were on the main seats, took in everyone's expressions one by one.
Li Shimin somewhat regretted at this time that he had not let Cheng Qian enter the Road and Bridge Department as chief officer.
He coughed and said to Li Tai:
"Qingque, how are you and Deputy Director Ma preparing for tomorrow's groundbreaking ceremony in Chang'an City? Do you need my father to send you more manpower to maintain order at the scene?"
Upon hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Tai quickly suppressed his smile, bowed and said:
"My son, thank you for your concern, father. However, Director Qin has made arrangements in advance regarding the order of the scene. In addition, the guards of Prince Yue's Palace will also be at the scene tomorrow, so everything should be fine!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard this, and then he joked:
"Director Qin? Is that boy so charming? Has your boy been so convinced in just a few days?"
Li Tai touched the back of his head when he heard this and said:
"My son, I'm used to being called like this."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Well, very good, this is the responsibility that a member of my royal family should have. Once you enter the court, you should treat your chief officer in accordance with the rules and etiquette of the court."
"Qingque, my father is very pleased that you can do this!"
Li Tai didn't expect that he would receive such praise from his father with just a simple title, and he was extremely happy.
"My son, I only acted according to the usual teachings of my father and mother. I don't deserve such praise from my father."
Li Shimin stroked his short beard, glanced at his eldest grandson, and smiled even happier.
From the corner of his eye, the eldest grandson saw that his eldest son Li Chengqian looked a little lonely. He thought for a while and changed the subject:
"Qingque, did you see your imperial grandfather when you went to Qin Ming's mansion this time?"
When Li Tai heard this, he immediately recalled the unpleasant dining experience at noon, and his face couldn't help but feel bitter.
"My son, I have met the emperor's grandfather."
Li Shimin straightened up after hearing this, looked at Li Tai and asked:
"How is your imperial grandfather doing in the Qin Mansion? Have you suffered any grievances?"
[Father, what do you think? How could my grandfather be wronged? It’s the child who’s been wronged, okay? 】
"Grandpa, he looks very good. I heard that Master Miaoying personally gave him a prescription to regulate his body, which has the effect of prolonging his life."
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other and said with a smile:
"Well, that boy is quite filial."
Princess Jinyang curled her lips when she heard this and said:
"Father, brother Ming, has always been very filial. He even played cards with his grandfather before!"
Li Shimin's mouth twitched when he heard this, is this still my little cotton-padded jacket?
It seems that Si Zi needs to stay away from that kid Qin Ming in the future!
At this time, Li Tai seemed to remember his visit to Qinjiazhuang No. 1 Vehicle Workshop in the afternoon, so he said to Li Shimin:
"By the way, my father, Director Qin, took his son and the emperor's grandfather to visit a workshop in his house in the afternoon."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? What workshop?"
"A workshop dedicated to building engineering vehicles."
"Construction vehicle?"
Li Tai nodded, and then waited for everyone's eyes to fall on him.
Li Tai then vividly talked about what he saw in the workshop in the afternoon.
This narration surprised everyone even more than the groundbreaking ceremony.
After all, the four-wheeled truck and road roller that Li Tai mentioned were really unbelievable.
Li Xiyao quietly tugged on Li Lizhi's sleeve, then leaned into Li Lizhi's ear and whispered:
"Fifth sister, fifth sister, after two days, can you ask the queen mother for a decree that we go to Brother Ming's house to see the emperor's grandfather?"
Princess Changle's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she looked at her father and mother who were meditating, and then nodded gently.
Li Shimin thought for a while, looked at Li Tai with a serious expression and said:
"Do you really mean what you said? Qin Ming really made a four-wheeled truck that can turn freely?"
Li Tai nodded.
"It's absolutely true, everything was witnessed by my own eyes, and Director Qin also said that after a certain number of four-wheeled carriages are built, a four-wheeled carriage will be built specifically for the emperor's grandfather as his exclusive vehicle."
As the king of a country and the commander-in-chief of an army, Li Shimin naturally understood the importance of a four-wheeled carriage that could carry a large amount of cargo to the court.
So he stood up and said to Li Tai excitedly:
"Qingque, you write a letter tomorrow and send it to the Qin Mansion, asking him to send a four-wheel truck to the palace as soon as possible for me to see."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Forget it, I'd better send someone to the Qin Mansion myself."
"promise."
