Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 11 Don’t feel bad about spending Li Er’s money
The side hall of Tai Chi Hall.

Li Er was handling state affairs when a eunuch came in with his head bowed.

"Your Majesty, news from the East Palace."

"What's the matter?"

Li Er raised his eyebrows. The East Palace had been silent for many days and there was no movement.

He did not pay too much attention to it, after all, it was he who was responsible for the Crown Prince's recuperation.

"Just now, the Crown Prince summoned the Internal Affairs Officer, and then summoned the Military Affairs Officer to assist in military affairs."

Hear the words.

After hearing the last words, Li Er's expression became much more serious.

The Bingcao assists in military affairs, and he knows what his responsibilities are.

"What is he going to do?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to forge weapons."

"weapon?"

Li Er's voice obviously rose several decibels, "What kind of weapon do you want to make? A bow and crossbow?"

"It's a knife."

After getting the reply, Li Er looked much more relaxed.

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, weapons as powerful as bows and crossbows are a huge threat when the two palaces are so close.

The prince was able to shoot hunting arrows into the Taiji Palace that day, so the crossbow must have been very easy to use.

Not good.

"Keep staring."

Li Er said calmly, "It would be best if every move of the prince is recorded."

"According to the order!"

in the corner.

An official was writing furiously, recording every word and action of Li Er.

Li Er took a glance, twitched his mouth, and pretended not to see it.

The historians recorded the emperor's daily life, words and deeds.

He once proposed to read the "Qijuzhu", but was strongly opposed by the court officials.

From then on, he changed his strategy. If I can’t see it, can’t I fix it?

When ordering ministers to compile the Veritable Records, isn't it also for him to review?

As for his words and actions just now, he felt that he would have to delete and revise them when the time came. How could a father spend all day thinking about monitoring his son and worrying about his son making weapons?
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites requests an audience."

"Chengfan is here, let him in."

A moment later, King Jiangxia and Minister of Rites Li Daozon entered the hall.

"See Your Majesty."

"Okay, is it about the Tibetan envoys?"

Li Er asked proactively.

"Yes, the Tibetan delegation will arrive in Chang'an in about half a month."

Li Dao Zong said: "Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty and Tubo are currently at war, and the hatred between the two sides is not small."

After the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, the Tang Dynasty was located between Tubo and the Turks. Tubo frequently invaded the Tang Dynasty border, and the Turks also wanted to open up the Anxi node.

In the face of a huge empire like the Tang Dynasty, no matter how deep the hatred between Tubo and Turks was, they had to put aside their grudges and join forces to deal with it.

It’s a pity that the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, with many military generals and soldiers who were not afraid of death.

The Anxi Protectorate blocked the attacks of Tubo and Turks time and time again, standing firm and cutting the two major forces in half, making it impossible for them to collude and join forces again.

At present, Tubo wants to marry a princess and stop the war, but it knows that it is impossible and can only find a reason to withdraw its troops.

Li Er had refused before, but this time he planned to agree and end the hostile relationship with Tubo.

"I have a headache about what kind of etiquette to use to receive you." Li Daozon explained his purpose.

Li Er said with a smile: "Just follow the etiquette we used to receive the Tibetan envoys."

"But your majesty is ready to agree to the marriage. This is a different time."

Li Daozon threw the difficult problem to Li Er.

This marriage was tacitly agreed upon by everyone and was just a formality.

The Tang Dynasty was a powerful country, but it was also surrounded by foreign enemies and the pressure of war was not small at all.

The Turks, Tibetans, Gaochang and other forces were all distracting the Tang Dynasty's attention.

Li Er planned to appease Tubo and ease relations so that he could free up his hands to deal with other foreign forces.

Since they are willing to agree to the marriage with Tubo, they must not treat it casually as before, but should raise the standards to show their importance and sincerity.

This way everyone can look decent.

"Well, let's discuss this with the other ministers." "Don't be too formal, and don't be too perfunctory. Just show your respect and sincerity."

"I understand."

……

Time flies by.

Li Chengqian rested and recuperated in the Eastern Palace, neither attending court nor going out.

He just stayed in the East Palace, and no one knew what he was doing.

"Your Highness."

“This is the tenth design.”

Wang Cheng, a built-in Lang, handed over the design drawings of the robe.

In just ten days, the Internal Affairs Bureau contributed more than ten sets of robe designs to the prince.

I am not satisfied with any of the nine sets.

But they already felt it was very good, but the prince was not polite and was still not satisfied.

Li Chengqian picked up the blueprint and admired it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Not bad, this set is very good."

"Flying fish suit, flying fish suit, bright and colorful, luxurious and gorgeous, showing grace."

A huge stone suddenly fell from Wang Cheng's heart.

He was under tremendous pressure because he had disappointed the prince time and time again.

"The fifth set, the eighth set, and this set, start working on it immediately and cut out 200 pieces of each."

Li Chengqian ordered.

Hearing this, Wang Cheng was stunned. Two hundred pieces each?
Oh my goodness.

Your Highness, don't you know how much cloth and silk this will require?

He thought it was designed for the prince.

Judging from the luxurious and elegant clothing and patterns, only the prince is worthy of wearing it.

Two hundred sets?
This is obviously not what the prince wants to wear.

"Your Highness, two hundred pieces each. The East Palace does not have that much cloth and silk, nor that many people, so it will take a long time."

He reminded the prince implicitly.

The Eastern Palace did not have such rich assets, so the clothing patterns and designs were ingenious, and the craftsmanship was sophisticated. They could not be cut or embroidered as you would expect.

Li Chengqian knew very well that, not to mention the materials needed, it would be impossible to complete the embroidery in a short period of time just by relying on manual cutting and embroidery.

Why are royal items so valuable? In addition to the royal attribute bonus, they are also made by top craftsmen who work meticulously and painstakingly.

He ordered six hundred sets in one go.

What is the pressure of the built-in bureau?
"For cloth and silk, go to the Taiji Palace treasury and borrow one thousand pieces."

"Take the order from the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and go to the Ye Ting Palace to recruit embroiderers to make clothes. Do your best to hurry up and make them."

"Tell them that if they work hard, each of them will be rewarded with ten strings of cash."

Li Chengqian's tone was very relaxed.

Li Er did not limit his spending, so of course he would not be polite to him.

He couldn't use the cloth in the inner treasury whenever he wanted, so why piled up so much of it? He kept it for fermentation.

As for the Yunting Palace, there is no need to worry about it.

They are either the family members of criminal officials or slaves.

I'm not doing anything stupid, I just want someone to sew some clothes for me.

There were huge rewards, but that was Li Er's money, so he didn't feel sorry at all.

That bastard Li Pangpang, the expenses for Furong Garden are astronomical.

I'm Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with spending some money?
"I will obey the prince's orders!"

With the prince's words, Wang Cheng felt completely relieved and went to do the work immediately.

After he left, Feng Yuan came in.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this sample of the saber?"

Feng Yuan presented a sample of the Embroidered Spring Knife.

Blade, scabbard.

He wants it to look good, but also have the necessary lethality.

After Li Chengqian carefully examined it, he said, "Not bad."

"Then, Your Highness, can it be made?"

"There's no rush for now."

Li Chengqian said: "Wait for my order."
