Li Shimin's heart disease had been cured, so Li Fangchen did not stay in the palace for too long and returned to the Qin Palace to recuperate for two days.

But unexpectedly, the bad news that followed made the already uneasy court in Chang'an again stir.

Duke Duan Zhixuan of Baoguo died of illness!

The news just came back from Jinzhou, but Li Shimin's sad expression could not be erased after hearing this.

As the old and new changes, the old generation of capable ministers and officials are now old and one or two will leave the world from time to time.

The most terrifying thing is that they died of illness one after another within the same period of time this time.

If the news spreads, people who are interested are not allowed to use this as an excuse to secretly make trouble.

"Li Shimin attacked the old ministers of a time!"

Not to mention whether this matter is true, just the news will cause chaos.

The prince has been in charge of government for many days, and faced with the dilemma in the court, he racked his brains, and there was no way out.

Fortunately, Li Shimin then returned to the court and held great power, so he slowly suppressed the matter.

"Duan Zhixuan, Duan of Baoguo, was jealous of the talent and passed away early. He was posthumously awarded the title of General of the Suiguo and the Governor of Yangzhou, and was posthumously named Zhongzhuang and buried with Zhaoling."

The issuance of the imperial edict will save a lot of trouble.

The Duan family has three brothers, the eldest son Duan Zan, who is the Duan of Prefecture.

The other two sons were assigned to the position of governor of a state.

It can be called the emperor's grace and demonstrates the royal style of treating heroes well.

Li Shimin ordered Li Fangchen to be transferred to the palace and there were important matters to discuss.

Li Fangchen couldn't guess what Li Shimin was thinking, so he had to ask after meeting the saint, "I don't know what the father told his son to enter the palace, so what happened?"

Li Shimin asked Li Fangchen to sit down first, and then sighed: "The old ministers who followed me left one by one, I feel uneasy. I want to find you an idea so that everyone in the world knows that I never treat the meritorious ministers!"

Li Fangchen hesitated and said, "Does Father plan to set an example for the world?"

Li Shimin nodded, "That's exactly what it is."

Do you not treat meritorious ministers unfairly, so that people all over the world think that Li Shimin is a wise monarch of his generation?

Li Fangchen began to think about ways in his mind, and at the same time he had to refer to the history in his memory to make judgments.

Unfortunately, I thought about it for a long time and didn’t know what to satisfy Li Shimin.

"I wonder what my father has to think?"

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Fangchen would give him an idea as soon as he came, but he didn't expect that the other party would have a headache.

It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do.

Fortunately, Li Shimin did consider it, so he asked directly: "I will follow your Hero Temple to use it for the Meritorious Cabinet, okay?"

Li Fangchen raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but blurt out: "Lingyan Pavilion?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise: "Yes, I just decided on this name!"

By chance, Li Fangchen was really right.

The twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty were famous in history.

Among them are those who have good ends, and even rebels.

Li Shimin judged his reputation according to his merits. Even though his superiors had already been brought to the rebellion, he still maintained the reputation of the other party's incense.

"Tell me your thoughts quickly, I must listen carefully!"

When Li Shimin thought that the establishment of this palace could help him win over the hearts of the people and soothe all officials in the world, he could not help but feel restless.

Li Fangchen nodded and said, "The father has this intention. He should build Lingyan Pavilion in Chang'an so that the world can know that the father treats the heroes well."

"In Chang'an?"

"Yes, if it is set up in the palace, I am afraid that others will be stingy. It would be better to make it public in the world and be admired by all the people!"

After considering it, Li Shimin agreed with Li Fangchen's idea, "I plan to include all loyal ministers and famous generals in the cabinet. Do you think this matter is feasible?"

Li Fangchen asked, "Father, do you mean that the old ministers who are still alive in the world will also enter the cabinet?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "If this is not the case, what is the use of Lingyun Pavilion?"

"Since that's the case, I understand. The pavilion should not be kept incense, and the portraits should be displayed in the pavilion. The achievements should be recorded in the pavilion so that all the people can worship and the whole world will be returned! I wonder what the father's will mean?"

Li Shimin was very satisfied with this idea, "It's very good. You will leave this matter to you. The money needed will be supported by the national treasury."

"Yes, I'll go and arrange it now."

"By the way, what questions do the Ministry of Revenue have recently? If so, I will answer it for you."

Li Fangchen shook his head, "No, the Ministry of Revenue reform has not been completed yet. I will have arrangements for a while when the Ministry of Revenue has stabilized."

"Oh? The reform has not been completed yet?"

"Yes, although the Ministry of Revenue has been restructured, the external taxation matter has not been completely finalized. After the son-in-law has decided, let Wang Gui deliver a memorandum."

"But, I'm waiting for your memorandum."

"Yes, my son will take his leave now."

"By the way, don't participate in the matter of Chi Nu, Du He will not die."

Li Fangchen's eyes flashed darkly, he held back his dissatisfaction and stood up to leave.

After leaving the palace, Li Fangchen turned his gaze to the palace, "Father, is Lingyan Pavilion just a way to cover it up?"

At the beginning, Li Fangchen was excited. After all, for him, being able to participate in the Lingyan Pavilion was a kind of honor.

But when Li Shimin finished his last sentence, Li Fangchen's mentality changed.

I'm afraid that it wasn't for entering the palace today, Li Shimin planned to find a reason to arrange some chores for himself, so as not to find trouble for Du He and Li Zhi himself?

Li Fangchen could only put down Li Zhi's affairs for the time being and began to consider how to build Lingyan Pavilion.

I have to mention that the temptation of Lingyan Pavilion is indeed quite large.

His Highness the King of Qin took the order to supervise the construction of Lingyan Pavilion, which made all officials in Chang'an care about it.

This is what Your Majesty uses to reward the old ministers, and maybe they are one of them.

It has a brick and stone structure, with two floors above and below, and a courtyard pavilion in the middle, covering an area of ​​two acres.

Located on an open space in the south of Chang'an City, the Ministry of Works sent a thousand skilled craftsmen to be responsible for the construction.

Li Fangchen sent someone to invite Yan Liben to paint a portrait of a hero.

The news could not be hidden at all. A few days later, Cheng Zhijie and others came to explore the news and were very curious about Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Fangchen did not directly reply to the other party, but instead comforted him a little. When Lingyan Pavilion was established, everything would be clear.

Li Shimin issued a list of next volumes, which corresponds to the list of old ministers in Lingyan Pavilion.

What Li Fangchen didn't know was that Li Shimin had a particularly headache before this.

Because of a person's name, he wants to add it, but he can't.

This person's name is his King of Qin Li Chengyu!

The King of Qin is now just a young man. In terms of qualifications, how could he compare with the old ministers who have built up the country together?

But the contribution of the King of Qin is no less than any one, even far higher than that of everyone.

Li Shimin also went to ask Changsun Wugui, and Changsun Wugui's response to this was very simple.

"Your Majesty, your generation cannot enter Lingyan Pavilion. But what about the next generation?"

Only then did Li Shimin feel at ease and ordered: "In the future, all the meritorious officials, kings, princes and generals of my Tang Dynasty can enter the Lingyan Pavilion!"

This was a rule set for the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
