The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174 Sleep is more important than state affairs

After eating this sumptuous grilled fish meal, Li Chengqian brought Su Wan and the others back to his own Yiqiu Palace.

Originally, a wall was built between Yiqiu Palace and East Palace to distinguish Xianwang Mansion from East Palace.But now Li Chengqian has been restored as the Prince of the East Palace again.So this fence was also taken down.

Looking at the demolished wall, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "I don't know when this wall will be built again."

"It's no wonder people say you're a weirdo. They really didn't say you in vain. The prince of the Eastern Palace is something that many people dream of, but you are so dismissive." Cheng Chuhuan looked at Li Chengqian like a monster and said.

"You little girl knows what a fart, everyone wants to be the Ninth Five-Year Lord. I feel that as long as I sit on the dragon chair, I can sit on the world with one call."

"But look at your father, see how tired your father is every day. Even the queen mother has nothing on the surface, but how much has she endured behind her back?"

"Of course, if you want to be a foolish king, you can be at ease." Li Chengqian said after glaring at Cheng Chuhuan.

"Don't say it, there is indeed some truth. Even if my father is just a Lu Guogong, he wakes up earlier than the chicken every morning. Let alone the current emperor."

"On the contrary, you, the leisurely king, can sleep till the sun rises." Cheng Chuhuan nodded after hearing Li Chengqian's words.

"It's a pity that the good days will come to an end from tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will go to the Tai Chi Hall and feel sleepy. I really have a headache just thinking about it." Li Chengqian said after sighing.

While talking, everyone had already entered Yiqiu Palace, Su Wan and Cheng Chuhuan felt nothing.But Wang Yuyan and Wu Meiniang were stunned by what they saw.

They never thought that they could decorate the house like this.

It is now October, and Chang'an City has already started to snow.I already felt the slightest chill outside, but as soon as I entered Yiqiu Palace, I felt warm like spring.

"Sister, the empress's Lizheng Hall is not as warm as here. Why is this?" Wang Yuyan asked Su Wan in puzzlement.

"It's all due to His Highness. In his words, life is a constant toss. I'm afraid this Yiqiu Palace is definitely the best place in the entire Taiji Palace." Su Wan said to Wang Yuyan with a smile.

Wang Yuyan and Wu Meiniang looked at Yiqiu Palace curiously, but when they saw Li Chengqian lying directly on the kang, they suddenly remembered something.

Wu Meiniang asked Su Wan, "Sister, do we want to live here too?"

While speaking, Wu Meiniang's face couldn't help showing a hint of rosiness.After all, living with Li Chengqian now, she still has no way to accept it.

Before Su Wan could answer, Cheng Chuhuan said first, "I want to be beautiful, this is the bedroom of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Our residence is in Yichun Palace."

Hearing Cheng Chuhuan's words, Wu Meiniang nodded reassuringly.As long as she doesn't allow herself to live with Li Chengqian, even if Yichun Palace is not as good as this Yiqiu Palace, Wu Meiniang feels nothing.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan asked Su Wan, "Sister, where does Di Renjie live?"

"Don't worry, this place was originally changed to the Xianwang Mansion by the emperor. So His Highness specially built a residence for the guards in the palace to rest."

"So Di Renjie has already been arranged to live there." At this time, Xiao Rou, who was waiting on the side, said to Wang Yuyan.

In the end, everyone chatted for a few more words, and Xiao Rou personally sent Cheng Chuhuan, Wang Yuyan, and Wu Meiniang to Yichun Palace.

Originally, Cheng Chuhuan thought that Yichun Palace was still the same as when she left.But when she stepped into Yichun Palace, she couldn't help being shocked by what she saw.

Because this Yichun Palace was actually decorated according to the style of Yiqiu Palace.The only difference is that Yichun Palace does not have a swimming pool.

Cheng Chuhuan couldn't help cheering for joy, jumping on the kang and dancing.Even Wang Yuyan and Wu Meiniang were infected by Cheng Chuhuan.

……

Li Chengqian was still asleep, but Xiaorou gently shook him awake.And said to Li Chengqian in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, the time to go to court is coming."

After Li Chengqian stretched his waist, he said helplessly: "The sad life is about to start again, when can I let Ben Gong sleep again and wake up naturally?"

"Stop whining, I've never seen someone as lazy as you." Su Wan who was on the side glared at Li Chengqian and said.At the same time, together with Xiaorou and Rong'er, she began to dress up Li Chengqian.

Soon Li Chengqian put on the prince's court clothes, and accompanied by Xiao Guizi came to Taiji Hall.When Li Chengqian came to the Taiji Hall, the civil and military officials had not yet entered the Taiji Hall.

But Li Shimin was already sitting on the dragon chair.Seeing Li Shimin looking at the memorial in front of him, Li Chengqian smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Father, don't you feel sleepy when you get up so early every day?"

"Couldn't national affairs be more important than sleep?" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a gloomy face.

"For my ministers, sleeping in the cage is indeed the most important thing. Because sleeping in the cage is only possible at this time of the day, but there is plenty of time to deal with state affairs." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin after curling his lips.

"It's nonsense, don't you understand the truth that the day's plan lies in the morning?" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin was furious.

"Father, do you think there is any difference between handling state affairs before the sun comes out and handling state affairs after the sun comes out?"

"If I let my son say it, I'm afraid the former is not as good as the latter. After all, only when you get enough sleep can you work energetically." Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "It's not difficult to change the court rules, as long as you sit on my seat. Even if you change it to go to bed at night, I have no objection."

"But first you have to be the prince of the East Palace, and then you have the opportunity to sit on the dragon chair. At that time, you have to find a way to persuade the civil and military officials. As long as you accomplish these two things, when will you go to court?" It's all up to you."

"Forget it, father, you can go to court whenever you want. At worst, I will sit here and sleep later." Li Chengqian waved his hands hurriedly and said.

Li Shimin's seven orifices smoked, and he wished he could stand up and beat this rebellious son.But at this time, civil and military officials had already begun to enter the Tai Chi Hall in an orderly manner.

Li Shimin couldn't help but give Li Chengqian a hard look, and then ignored Li Chengqian's slightly closed eyes.

Not long after, all civil and military officials entered the Taiji Hall, and the three provinces, six departments and four major courtiers stood according to their ranks.First, he paid Li Shimin the ceremony of a monarch and minister, and then began to report to Li Chengqian.

At this time, Li Chengqian was already drowsy, almost snoring.
