Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, at the beginning of the morning, that is, at about half past seven in the morning, Li Shimin had not yet gotten up from the big kang.
Yang Zhen came over several times to take a look, and the palace maids who were in charge of waiting for Li Shimin's washing all replied that the emperor was still asleep and had never gotten up.
This is evil, in the past, the emperor had already gotten up before the end of the day, what is the matter today, it is almost two o'clock in the morning, and there is no sign of getting up?
You must know that since the emperor ascended the throne, except for a limited number of events such as the death of Empress Changsun and Emperor Taishang, there are few cases that do not occur in the early dynasty.
What is it for this time, there is nothing major happening in the court during this time?
"Are you sure the emperor is asleep?
Can you breathe steadily?
” Yang Zhen couldn't help but confirm with the palace maid that he was worried that Li Shimin was not asleep, but sick and unconscious, in that case, it would be troublesome.
The little palace maid replied seriously: "The slave maid has confirmed again and again, the emperor's breathing is long, and there is a faint sound of snoring, and he sleeps very sweetly.
The slave maid hadn't seen the emperor sleep so peacefully for several days. ” Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's a good thing that the emperor sleeps soundly, and he should sleep well after working so hard every day.
"The emperor slept so peacefully, but he took a soothing decoction last night?"
Yang Zhen asked again, Li Shimin has been a little insomnia in the past two years, and from time to time he will ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some calming and sleeping medicine soup.
The little palace maid shook her head: "The emperor has never taken any decoction."
However, the emperor seemed to like the newly-made bed inside, and before going to sleep, he was still praising the new bed for sleeping comfortably, and he fell asleep after lying down for only three breaths, and never got up all night. ” "Oh?"
Yang Zhen was stunned, is it so mysterious?
It's just a change to a hot kang that can make the emperor sleep so soundly?
Yang Zhen suddenly regretted a little, why did he just think about letting those craftsmen build an extra kang in the Liangyi Hall yesterday, why didn't he think about letting them build another place in their own residence by the way, he also had a little insomnia at night.
Our family is so loyal that we even forgot about our own welfare for the sake of the emperor.
While he was thinking wildly, Li Shimin's voice suddenly came from the hall: "Come on, change my clothes!"
” The emperor is awake!
Yang Zhen and the little palace maid were in good spirits, and hurriedly stepped into the hall.
In the bedroom, the little palace maids skillfully dressed and washed for Li Shimin, while Yang Zhen stood respectfully to say hello to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's spirit is very good, he hasn't slept so well and full of energy for a long time.
Raising his eyes, he saw that Yang Zhen was also there, so he asked him in a loud voice: "What time is it, the courtiers have all arrived?"
” The curtains in the hall were not opened, and Li Shimin didn't know that the sky outside had begun to brighten, and he was still thinking about the early dynasty.
Yang Zhen bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, it's already two o'clock in the morning." ” Yang Zhen didn't say anything about the early dynasty, because time had already passed, and the courtiers in front of the palace had also been persuaded by him to go back on the grounds that the emperor was unwell.
"What?!
It's already hour?!
” Li Shimin was startled, and his body stiffened slightly.
"Why have I slept so long today?"
I didn't blame the palace maid around him for not waking him up early, because the hospital had already explained that Li Shimin was not allowed to work too hard in the past two years, and if he could sleep for a long time, it was best not to wake up forcibly.
It's just that Li Shimin has been conscientious all these years, and his daily routine is very regular, coupled with the declining qi and blood, insomnia and dreams, he sleeps very late every day and wakes up very early, so he can wake up naturally without being reminded by the palace maids around him.
This has been going on for two to three years, and today there is an exception.
"It's that this kang is too comfortable."
Li Shimin quickly found the source of the matter, last night he lay down on the kang, and a burst of comfortable warmth hit his body, so that he quickly fell asleep, and he only woke up until now after sleeping.
Energetic and full of energy, it was as if he had been several years younger overnight, and the ambition of crossing horses to fight in all directions had returned.
Li Shimin likes this feeling very much, the feeling of being full of strength and fighting spirit makes him feel that he is not so old, he is still young, and he still has some strength to spare.
Li Shimin stretched his waist, seemed to be in a good mood, and did not have any psychological burden because he missed the morning court because of his snooze in the morning.
Now the Tang Dynasty is peaceful in the four seas, there are few wars on the border, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang in the court to help him deal with government affairs, and occasionally absent an early dynasty has no adverse effect.
"What unusual behavior did the courtiers have?"
Although he felt that nothing would happen, Li Shimin still habitually asked Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen replied: "Everything is as usual, the emperor doesn't have to worry." ” Li Shimin nodded, then returned his attention to the kang under his seat, and asked Yang Zhen softly, "Yang Zhen, do you know how much silver it costs to repair such a kang?"
” Yang Zhen said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid inquired yesterday, the cost of repairing such a fire kang is not consistent, if you don't rush the construction period and don't use so many craftsmen, it should be able to be built for about 400 yuan." ” Li Shimin said unexpectedly: "So, it is similar to the cost of a warm table?"
” "Back to the emperor, that's true.

However, the slave maid also heard the old rich and noble man mention that if the materials for this kang are not bricks and stones, but only wood and mud, one or two hundred wen can actually be built into a warm kang. ” "Did he say that?"
Li Shimin was instantly interested, and his voice increased a little: "If one or two hundred yuan can be built into such a kang that can be heated in winter, doesn't that mean that those ordinary households can also afford to use it?"
” A fire kang is not the same as a table warmer.
Although the warm table can also be warmed, it is too limited, only suitable for dining or reading and writing to deal with government affairs, and ordinary people do not need it at home and are reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars to buy.
But this fire kang is a necessary thing that everyone needs, especially in the north, when it comes to winter, it is cold and frozen, and it freezes three feet without melting, and it is most necessary to use this cheap and practical heating weapon.
Li Shimin has personally verified it, lying on this kang at night, he doesn't feel cold, and he is warm all night, not to mention how comfortable it is.
With this ondol, the people in the north can easily survive the severe cold in a winter, and the tragic events of freezing to death and frostbite due to heavy snow closure in previous years will inevitably be greatly reduced.
"Go, pass on my will, and order Yu Yuanzheng, the servant of the Ministry of Works, to personally contact Anping Houfu, and be sure to obtain this kang making technique and promote it as soon as possible.
I want to let the people of the Tang Dynasty in the north of my country be able to sleep on this warm kang and never suffer from the wind and cold again!
