"Wow!"
"This pit is huge, you could row a boat in it!"
"Wow!"
"There really is a boat in this huge pit!"
When Li Shimin saw Li Jue's country bumpkin appearance, he wished he could slap him to death.
"This is Beihai Pool!"
Li Jue burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"How dare they call such a tiny thing the sea? It's not even as big as our village's reservoir!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Don't worry about whether he's big or small, that's what people call him, so just call him that obediently!"
"Uncle Li, what's the name of that pavilion up ahead?"
"Ningyin Pavilion!"
What about that one?
"That's called Gyeongbokgung Terrace, and the place west of Gyeongbokgung Terrace is called Wong-yun Pavilion..."
Li Jue couldn't help but purse his lips upon hearing this.
"Your Tang emperors are so extravagant! They even have to build a pavilion just to watch the clouds!"
Li Shimin snorted unhappily upon hearing this.
"Wangyun Pavilion is just a name; it's not a place specifically for watching clouds!"
"What's the name of that main hall up ahead?"
"Zhaoqing Palace!"
"What's that behind Zhaoqing Hall called?"
"The Ziwei Palace!"
What about the one on the east side?
"That's Lingyan Pavilion!"
"Uncle Li, may I go to Lingyan Pavilion for a look?"
"this……"
Li Shimin really wanted to take his eldest grandson to Lingyan Pavilion to give him a proper introduction to the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and to boast about his own great achievements.
But the thought that Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde were teaching him immediately killed that idea.
"Not for now. Lingyan Pavilion is under renovation and will be open to visitors in a few months!"
"Oh oh oh..."
Li Shimin continued to lead Li Jue on a leisurely stroll through the Taiji Palace, passing the Lingyan Pavilion, stepping onto the Thousand-Step Corridor, visiting the mountains, waters, ponds, and pavilions, and then intending to rest for a while at the Ziyun Pavilion.
Li Jue's single sentence completely broke Li Shimin's defenses.
"Old Li, your emperor is too extravagant, building such a huge garden for himself to enjoy..."
As Li Jue spoke, he pointed to the flowers and plants surrounding Ziyun Pavilion.
"Uncle Li, do you know why the flowers in the Imperial Garden bloom so beautifully?"
"have no idea……"
"This is stained with the blood of the people!"
"Uncle Li, do you know why these trees are so lush?"
"have no idea!"
"This is nourished by the people's hard-earned money!"
"Uncle Li, you know..."
"Shut up!"
"If you say another word, believe me, I'll throw you into the sea pool and drown you!"
