Chapter 307: When will the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince be restored to normal?

The Qin Dynasty unified the weights and measures, writing system, currency, and wheel gauge.

This series of unification will bring immeasurable impact and significance to the future.

Tiangongyuan created the “moment”, which has a precise and clear understanding of the concept of time. Its significance is definitely no less than the various unified concepts of the Qin Dynasty.

A group of people gathered around the “Time”, watching the pointer on it moving.

The ‘moments’ are arranged according to the twelve hours. Between one hour, there is a half-hour mark, which is one hour.

“How accurate is it?”

Li Jue started touching it curiously, but Li Chengqian ignored him. Curiosity is a child’s nature, so he just let him do what he wanted.

“point!”

Li Chunfeng said a little ashamedly.

“It doesn’t matter. Being able to create a ‘moment’, an accurate time, is already very rare.” Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Seconds and milliseconds are not so easy to figure out.

However, Li Chunfeng did explain that they were working with the Taishi Bureau to conduct further research on smaller time symbols.

“That’s good.”

“I won’t say much about the meaning of time.”

Li Chengqian said: “Keep up the good work.”

“For this achievement, I will present it to Your Majesty for a reward.”

Li Chunfeng said: “Your Highness, we at Tiangong Academy are already satisfied, how dare we accept more rewards.”

“These are what we should do.”

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, “Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished.”

“Rewards and punishments are clear, and Tiangong Academy is more aggressive and pioneering.”

There is no need to delve into this question. Li Chengqian was very happy that Tiangongyuan made this thing, but Li Shimin should be even happier.

To add to my own achievements, I have made another epoch-making contribution.

It can be compared with the unified writing system and weights and measures of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

“How about it?”

Li Chengqian asked with a smile: “Erlang, what do you think about this?”

“Aye, with this thing, I don’t have to worry about looking up at the sky to check the time anymore.” Li Jue said excitedly: “Master Li, you are really amazing.”

“You guys have the time in your hands.”

“You are this!”

Li Jue gave a thumbs up to Li Chunfeng and others.

Li Chunfeng was flattered and bowed repeatedly.

Such praise from the legitimate grandson of the emperor is of great significance.

“Haha, good stuff.”

Li You laughed: “Li Chunfeng, make one for me. The smaller the better, so I can carry it with me at any time.”

“Now that it’s so big, this king is in trouble.”

Li Ke and Li Zhi couldn’t hold it anymore. When it comes to time, when you rely entirely on your eyes to observe and judge, you don’t think there is anything wrong. It’s basic operation, they are used to it.

After all, there is no alternative.

Now that I have a ‘moment’ where I don’t have to make my own judgement, I must be overjoyed.

“This is similar to the compass car.”

Di Renjie said with some amazement.

“New Shao Hou.” Li Chengqian nodded and said, “I won’t say how to name it. Let your Majesty decide.”

“However, you have heard what the King of Qi said. Think of a way to reduce it.”

Li Jue continued, “It would be best if you could stay by my side.”

“Aye, tell me, is it possible to wear time on your wrist?”

He pretended to take something out to look at it, and said, “If you want to know the time, just take it out and you’ll understand.”

“How easy and simple.”

Li You nodded repeatedly, “Erlang is right, Li Chunfeng, just do as Erlang says.”

“In this case, I will not be stingy and will personally donate one million strings of cash to you.”

He waved his hand and said, “Don’t be polite. I am not short of money, but time.”

“What time and quarter? From now on, when I ask someone to come, I will tell him exactly the quarter and minute. If he is even a minute late, he is late and looks down on me…”

Li Chengqian laughed. Although Li You looked careless, the fact that he was so forthright in paying money was really nice.

Tiangongyuan spends a lot of money and accepts all the money that comes to it.

“I would like to thank the King of Qi for his generosity. When we return, Tiangongyuan will definitely present His Royal Highness the King of Qi with a ‘Moment’.”

“Speaking of these, it seems as if this king is greedy.”

Li You smiled and said, “When will it be delivered?”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help laughing. Li Ke said, “Since Wu Lang is so generous, I won’t be stingy either.”

“Two million guan, maybe.”

Li Zhi was anxious, “No, one of you will get one million and the other two million.”

“Where do I get so much?”

“My brother knows my family background.”

Li Chengqian was happy. Li Zhi really didn’t have much money.

The money deposited in the bank did not exceed one million strings of cash.

There are a lot of other things, but they are not cash.

“Yeah.” Li Jue also wanted to feel the joy of spending money.

Li Chengqian said, “How about this, I will give out the money from Zhinu and Erlang, let’s take out five million in total.”

Li Chunfeng bowed down quickly: “I thank your Highness the Crown Prince and all the other Highnesses…”

A group of people left talking and laughing, still discussing the moment.

Li Chengqian asked: “How is that going?”

“All trials have been completed.”

Li Chunfeng said, “I don’t know when I should raise this matter with Your Majesty.”

“It’s better to choose a day than to hit it.”

Li Chengqian said, “Well, on the fifteenth day of the lunar year, Your Majesty, please sit with the ministers, princes and officials of the court.”

“Yes, I will report it after I go down.”

“Ok!”

After leaving Tiangongyuan, Li Ke and his friends were very curious about what other good things Tiangongyuan had.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, “You will know on the fifteenth day of the lunar year.”

“Not in a hurry.”

“Yes, my brother likes to hide things.”

“Wu Lang, you don’t want to be beaten.” Li Chengqian said lightly. Li You subconsciously shrank his head.

……

On New Year’s Eve, the celebration is held at Taiji Palace as usual.

This year, a large number of people reunited in the palace on New Year’s Eve.

All of Li Shimin’s brothers and sisters were present, as well as his children, daughters-in-law, princes-in-law, grandchildren, etc.

It can be said that this time he enjoyed some family happiness.

On the fifth day of the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, the city of Chang’an had already begun to celebrate the Holy Emperor’s birthday with lights and decorations, and it was very lively.

“Your Highness, the Tiangong Academy has requested that they present me with a gift that will be celebrated by all the ministers and nobles.”

Li Shimin, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the top floor of the Sheng Tang Restaurant, looking at the prosperous scene of Chang’an, and asked, “Did you agree?”

“His Majesty.”

Li Chengqian said calmly: “We must go.”

“Oh?”

Li Shimin asked curiously, “What makes the prince so sure?”

“You’ll know once you see it.”

“Since the prince has said so, I have to go and take a look.”

The two spoke a little stiffly.

Li Zhi and the others present were a little upset when they heard this.

Even Changle sighed secretly.

Today is the ninth year.

The relationship between my father and my brother the Crown Prince is still so close and distant.

She knew that her father had long since let go of his prejudices, realized his mistakes, and was trying his best to correct them.

He also wanted to restore the father-son relationship with Li Chengqian.

But the Crown Prince has always been unwilling to give in. As a father and the Emperor, it is impossible for his father to be the first to bow his head and ask for peace with the Crown Prince.

The stalemate remains like this.

The others saw it and were anxious. The situation was obviously improving and there was no conflict between the Emperor and the Crown Prince, but there was no way to ease the situation and make the relationship between the two sides closer.

There are people who cannot be persuaded, and there are people who cannot be talked out of.

No one can get involved, and no one dares to.

Even Changle and Li Zhi didn’t dare to say it, let alone others.

It is still relatively stable at the moment. If it starts, it would be great if everyone in the world celebrates. But if it backfires, the relationship between the two palaces will deteriorate.

For that crime, death is the easiest punishment.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the New Year.

Li Chengqian got up early, had breakfast, and then sat waiting for news from Taiji Palace.

Di Renjie was also running around, reporting the situation to the ministers.

The ministers got up even earlier than him.

Now waiting outside Chengtian Gate.

“Your Highness, His Majesty has risen and left the palace.”

“Ah.”

Li Chengqian stood up, pinched Sanlang’s face, and left the East Palace with the two “filial sons” to meet at Chengtian Gate.

Not long after arriving at Chengtian Gate, Li Shimin came out.

“Your Majesty has a decree.”

“Go to Tiangongyuan!”

……

Tiangongyuan.

It wasn’t a chaotic place, but it was crowded.

Li Chunfeng hadn’t slept for two days and two nights, arranging the affairs of Tiangongyuan.

The Holy Emperor, the Crown Prince, all the civil and military officials in the court, and the princes and princesses were all here.

He dare not be careless and cannot tolerate any slackness.

“Your Majesty has set out and is heading towards Tiangongyuan.”

Yuan Tiangang said breathlessly.

Li Chunfeng hurriedly asked, “Duke Lu, how are the arrangements going with Duke E?”

“The two Dukes sent someone to deliver a message that everything has been arranged properly and there will be no mistakes.”

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.”

“Order all the people in Tiangong Academy to gather outside the gate to welcome the Holy Emperor.”

“it is good!”

The Holy Emperor’s carriage arrived as scheduled.

Li Shimin did not ride a horse, after all, there were too many court officials following him this time.

Seeing that the entrance of Tiangongyuan was full of people welcoming him, he got off the car with great satisfaction.

“New Shao Hou.”

Li Shimin said loudly: “Before, you showed me something new.”

“This time, you are making such a big fuss that I have to call all the civil and military officials, princes and princesses.”

“It doesn’t matter whether I am satisfied or not, but if the officials are not satisfied.”

“You better be careful.”

Li Chengqian looked at him with a faint smile, and Li Chunfeng said, “Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that I will definitely satisfy Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the civil and military officials.”

“Li Chunfeng, don’t brag too much, old Taoist priest.”

Li Xiaogong shouted, “You haven’t given me what I want, and you’ve burned up a lot of money in my Ministry of War.”

“Want to die? It’s not that easy.”

The military attachés were all laughing.

The civil servants discussed in low voices.

Cui Dunli and Yang Shidao stood together.

Cui Dunli said: “This Tiangong Academy is so prestigious, what will it offer?”

“Who knows?” Yang Shidao shook his head: “We will know in a moment.”

A large group of people walked towards the depths of Tiangongyuan. Li Shimin pointed at the surroundings and asked questions from time to time.

Li Chengqian did not answer, it was Li Chunfeng who answered.

soon.

They arrived at their destination.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
