There is a palace on Gaoli Mountain with three or four levels of red towers and purple halls.
The green flowers have not come for a long time, and the walls have clothes and tiles, and there are pine trees.
…
The Hot Spring Palace is backed by a mountain and faces the Wei River. It is built along the mountain with Li Mountain. It is large in scale and magnificent in architecture.
Towers, pavilions and halls are scattered all over Lishan Mountain.
Between the mountain paths in the apse of the mountain top, Li Xuan was walking slowly, his eyes falling on the lush mountains and forests on both sides, and the shadows were whirling.
Li Xian and Li Dan followed him, chatting casually.
Not far away, a group of servants from the East Palace were unloading incense burners, jade pillows, bedding quilts and other items from the ship into the apse.
For the next three days, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will rest their body and mind in the back hall of the Hot Spring Palace.
Further up the back hall of the Hot Spring Palace, on the peak of the back mountain, are the Changsheng Hall and the Lao Mu Hall, as well as the Wangjing Tower overlooking Chang'an.
But on the back mountain, it has always been open only when the emperor comes in person. On weekdays, no one else is allowed to go up at all.
The prince and the princess can only enter the apse of the Hot Spring Palace. There are many hot springs in the apse such as the Prince's Soup and the Xuanxi Soup for the prince and the princess to recuperate.
The prince's family leader Murong Jingbin stood on one side and directed a group of servants to clean the back hall of the Hot Spring Palace, as well as the Yuzhen Hall and the Bamboo Shoot Hall on both sides.
Li Xuan, Li Xian and Li Dan will live in the Yuzhen Hall on the left, while Liu Nayan, Xue Yao and Gao Qi and other East Palace staff will live in the Sun Palace on the right.
Other soldiers and officials will live in the Seven Holy Temples and Feishuang Temple in front. Hundreds of people inside and outside occupy the place to the full.
But they all have hot springs, so no one will be left out.
Li Dan looked at the commotion in the entire hot spring palace and couldn't help but frown. He turned to look at Li Xuan: "Uncle Wang, isn't it a little too extravagant?"
"No!" Li Xuan answered decisively and simply. He turned to look at Li Dan and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you must remember that your identity is of great importance. If nothing happens, it will just be that everyone is tired. But if something goes wrong, these people will kill all of them... You can never be careless."
Li Dan was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Wang's teachings, Silang has remembered them."
Li Xuan quickly stretched out her hand to help Li Dan up and said softly: "Your Highness, please remember that outsiders cannot rely on outsiders for all matters in the world. That is to say, the crown prince is the one who makes the decision here, and all related matters are under the crown prince's control." The officials are responsible. If there is no prince, then the officials and soldiers of the British Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace will be responsible for guarding the affairs.
At that time, what they want to protect is that both of you are safe.
Don't mess around, don't get them in trouble, and don't do nothing.
If they are not allowed to feel the Lord's concern for them, how can they die for it? "
"Silang understands." Li Dan's eyes flashed brightly, and he seemed to have really thought through something.
Li Xian on the other side couldn't help but yawned and said, "Uncle Wang, it's almost time. Lunch should be ready."
Looking at Li Xian's lazy look, Li Dan frowned and said: "Third brother, I heard that you are good at archery and horse training. When will you give me some advice..."
"No!" Li Xian suddenly woke up and refused directly. Looking at Li Dan who was like a calf, he shook his head vigorously and said, "Brother, although I have made some progress these days, it is just dead energy. In the future, the most I can do is show off in front of the army, and I won’t be able to rush to the front lines, so I can’t compare with you.”
Seeing the two brothers struggling there, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little amused, and finally said: "We will find a place to hunt some wild boars and rabbits tomorrow, and at least we will see some blood. If we really get to the west, it will be too late to do anything. .”
Li Xian was okay, he only went to Lintao at most. Poor Li Dan, he was sent directly to Dunhuang.
The only good thing is that Ming Chongyan will follow the army and accompany Li Dan to Dunhuang.
The only one who was in trouble was the governor of Dunhuang and the Duke of Dunhuang County, Duguqi.
Who knows what this family is thinking.
What if during the war between Datang and Tubo, Duguqi suddenly defected to Tubo and stabbed Datang severely from behind, the consequences would be unpredictable.
At that time, Dugu Zhongde launched an army and rebelled. Only his lineage of the Dugu family was severely punished. Although other members of the family were demoted to serve elsewhere, the family lineage was still there.
Now someone from the Dugu family is trying to repeatedly jump between the two countries to plunder their own interests when the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at war. If not discovered, Li Dan may be in danger of life and death, but now, since it has If they are discovered, the Dugu family will be in danger.
Ming Chongyan was not someone to be trifled with. The emperor deliberately sent Li Dan to Dunhuang with the intention of suppressing Dugu Qi.
In the past, although the emperor and the queen were unaware of the Dugu family's ambitions, it was still difficult for some of the Dugu family's actions to escape the sight of the emperor and empress Wu.
In order to avoid accidents, Li Dan and Ming Chongyan were sent over to beat them. Now that the truth has been revealed, Li Dan and Ming Chongyan rushed over, so it was not necessarily a matter of beating, but most likely a killing.
Li Xuan glanced at Li Xian and Li Dan. One of the two brothers was used as a bait and the other was used as a weight. The emperor really took great pains.
Looking up and seeing that the two main halls had been tidied up, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, let's go pay respects to His Highness and the Crown Princess."
"Here!"
…
Although the main hall has been tidied up as much as possible, compared to the gorgeous East Palace, it is still very simple, and many places are covered with yellow curtains.
"Your Highness, Crown Princess." Li Xuan bowed her hands to Li Xian and Crown Princess Fang.
The Crown Princess Fang is a woman with a somewhat docile personality, dignified appearance, and quite a bit of a state minister.
Li Xian and Li Dan also restrained their personalities. They held their hands in front of Li Xian and Fang and said, "Brother Emperor, Sister-in-law Emperor."
"Uncle Wang and Sanlang Silang, please take a seat." Li Xian raised his hand slightly, and Li Xuan, Li Xian, and Li Danshunzhi stood, and then sat down on the short table beside them.
Looking at Li Xian, Li Xuan said: "Your Highness, the scenery of Lishan Mountain is beautiful and the sight is far and wide. Your Highness may wish to put aside the affairs of the court for a while, rest your body and mind, and calm your spirit. I have a very disrespectful saying, I will do it here. Let’s not shy away from it… His Majesty, the late Emperor, and even Emperor Gaozu all suffered from wind disease. However, Emperor Gaozu was the oldest, which may not be related to the fact that he did not have to work hard. Your Highness is young and needs more maintenance. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret in the future. .”
This is indeed a taboo statement, but the people in the palace are all relatives of the emperor, so there is no such taboo.
Li Xian didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later on, he really listened to it.
Moving his body forward slightly, Li Xian asked, "Uncle Wang, how should I take care of it?"
"When it's time to deal with government affairs, deal with government affairs; when it's time to rest, take a complete rest." Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and said seriously: "Develop regular habits. Try to deal with government affairs during the day and try to rest at night...even at night. If there are urgent government affairs that have to be dealt with, try not to read them yourself, let others help you read them, and try to reduce your own stress."
Li Xian frowned and asked in confusion: "Xian once heard someone say that Uncle Wang believes that sunlight has a sense of oppression on human eyes during the day, so reading should be done under a soft beam of light. There is no bright sun at night. Why?" And try not to read.”
"Alas!" Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "Your Highness is wrong. What I said was aimed at Your Majesty. Your Majesty is already seriously ill. You need to be careful when reading government affairs even during the day, let alone at night. The reason why I don’t mention nighttime matters to Your Majesty is because Your Majesty rarely reads memorials at night.”
"Oh!" Li Xian suddenly came to his senses.
Li Xuan continued: "During the day, the light is too strong, so you need to cover it up to avoid hurting your eyes; at night, the light is too weak, so the firelight is often amplified, but the firelight is often darker and less bright, so the human eye needs to use force. The fire is too bright and can hurt your eyes, so you need to be more careful at night. This is the right way to maintain your health."
Li Xian paused slightly, then suddenly frowned, and finally nodded and said, "I understand what Uncle Wang said."
There was a trace of surprise on Li Xuan's face. What did Li Xian understand?
She is empress Wu who keeps a low profile and avoids the real situation.
Li Xuan immediately understood that Li Xian was thinking about his relationship with Empress Wu.
Li Xuan was speechless. He obviously didn't mean that.
Why did Li Xian worry so much that he would think of Empress Wu when he heard other people's casual remarks?
Li Xuan sighed softly in his heart, but he immediately changed his words and said: "Your Highness, today in Lishan Mountain, we should mainly soak in hot springs. Doctors have said that if you soak in hot springs at different times, the effects will be different."
Li Xian nodded distractedly, but Li Xian beside him couldn't help but get interested: "Uncle Wang, please speak."
"Soak in hot springs in the morning to ensure clean water; soak in hot springs in the afternoon to relieve fatigue; soak in hot springs before going to bed in the evening to get a good night's sleep."
Li Xuan gave a brief introduction, and then said: "Hot springs can improve the body's blood circulation through the heat of the ground water, dispel colds, keep fit, and remove chronic diseases, such as joint pain, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal diseases, and neurasthenia. , neuralgia, relax muscles and joints, eliminate fatigue, and even beautify the skin, which is beneficial to personal health.”
Li Xuan said, bowing slightly to the Crown Princess Fang.
Mrs. Fang nodded in surprise and said, "I heard people say that after soaking in hot springs, you look very good. It turns out it's true."
"It is indeed true." Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "But there are several taboos that need to be paid attention to when soaking in hot springs."
Crown Princess Fang nodded subconsciously and said, "Uncle Wang, please speak."
Li Xuan said softly: "First, don't soak for too long. If you soak for too long, you will feel chest tightness, thirst, and dizziness. Replenish water every quarter of an hour, rest for a moment, and then go into the water again, three times a day. Second, soak in the hot springs. Start from a place where the water is warmer, and the high-temperature pool should not exceed a moment. Third, when bathing in hot springs, it is better to start half an hour after a meal, and it is not advisable to drink alcohol before bathing."
Li Xuan paused for a moment and said softly: "Fourth, take a warm bath. It is best for men and women to bathe together. Yin and Yang are coordinated."
"Uncle Wang." Li Xian interrupted Li Xuan angrily, while Fang on the side couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed some task. He stood up, raised his hands to Li Xian and said, "I have finished what I need to say. Your Highness can call you at any time for other matters. I will leave."
"My dear brother, please retire."
…
Standing in front of the apse door, Li Xuan looked at the prince's family minister Murong Jingbin, who was standing on one side with his hands tied, and said softly: "Your Majesty has an order. Regarding the Lishan incident, the family order will follow my order."
Murong Jingbin did not hesitate at all and immediately handed over his hand: "I will accept your order!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, looked at the countless figures above and below, and said softly: "I hope no one with blind eyes will bump into me in the past few days."
