Flowers can be beautiful, wisdom can be prosperous and safe, and compassion can be carried by the whole world.

The death of Empress Changsun was not very sudden, but it still had a huge impact on Chang'an City.

Nanshan Construction stopped all the projects in its hands and tried its best to build Zhaoling in Yingshan. The construction was completed in just half a month.

Li Shimin also personally issued an edict, posthumously named "Empress Wende".

This action that seems very ordinary to everyone, but it is actually not ordinary at all.

In history, the first empress with an independent posthumous title was Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Zifu. Anyone who has read "The Emperor of Han" knows Wei Zifu.

Starting from Wei Zifu to Li Yuan’s empress Dou, all the queens had only one-character posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous post

Only after the emperor dies can one character be added to the emperor's posthumous title, the so-called "posthumous title".

Take Li Yuan as an example. After he ascended the throne, he posthumously named Empress Dou as "Empress Mu". After Li Yuan died, he closed his posthumous title and was "Empress Tai Mu".

And what about Empress Changsun?

He was directly named "Empress Wende".

You should know that the ancients' requirements for titles were far beyond everyone's imagination.

In the eyes of the Tang people, "Wen" is the best posthumous title.

Even among all kinds of beautiful posthumous titles, no posthumous title can be better than the word "wen".

From this we can see that in Li Shimin's heart, only the single posthumous posthumous posthumous "de" is not enough to show his goodness to Empress Changsun. Only by adding the word "wen" that everyone respects most in the world can he show his queen's virtue.

Logically speaking, as a talented emperor, Li Shimin would not be affected too much by the death of the queen.

However, during this period, Li Shimin has been in a state of missing Empress Changsun.

It even built a view on the wall of the Daming Palace. Every day when I go to court, I have to look at Zhaoling Mausoleum, and even let the accompanying ministers mourn.

Fang Xuanling and others were secretly anxious after seeing it, but they couldn't say anything.

However, when Li Shimin took Wei Zheng there, the situation was a little different.

"Xuancheng, look, my queen is buried there, can you see clearly?"

Li Shimin's face was a little haggard and pointed his fingers into the distance.

"Where? Your Majesty, where are you talking about? I can't see clearly."

Wei Zheng was old, but he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, showing a look that I didn't see clearly.

"How come you can't see clearly? It's right there, you can see Zhaoling without a telescope."

Li Shimin felt a little anxious and thought Wei Zheng really didn't see it.

"Your Majesty, I think you are looking for Xianling, but you are talking about Zhaoling."

Wei Zheng's words stunned Li Shimin.

He is not stupid, so he naturally knows what Wei Zheng means.

"Come on, demolish this view!"

Although Li Shimin was reluctant to leave, he was not yet foolish.

In addition, during this period, Xu Cairen also appeared in front of him frequently and said some comforting words. Li Shimin's nostalgia for Empress Changsun was actually controllable in most cases.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Wei Zheng looked happy and felt relieved.

...

In the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian sat there drunk, feeling full of panic.

"Your Highness, you have to make some plans early!"

Helan Chushi found Li Chengqian just after he came back from his father-in-law's mansion.

During this period, the atmosphere in Chang'an City was actually quite depressing, and all entertainment activities were suspended.

However, human mind will not stop moving.

In addition to his identity as the eldest son, Li Chengqian was able to sit in the position of the crown prince, and Empress Changsun's help was also an indispensable contribution.

Coupled with Li Shimin's own painful lesson, he did not want the next generation to break out in order to compete for the crown prince, so the position of Li Chengqian as the crown prince has not changed.

"Make a plan early? Why plan? My father doesn't like me, this is something everyone knows. I'm done, I have no hope!"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, he poured another glass of wine into his mouth.

"Your Highness, the people of the Tang Dynasty know that you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, which is an advantage that no one can compare to. Although Your Majesty favors Your Majesty the King of Wei, if he really wants to change the crown prince, he would have taken action long ago. There has been no movement for so many years, which actually means that Your Majesty is also hesitating. At this time, we only have two ways to go!"

Helan Chushi has been firmly labeled as Li Chengqian, which can be described as a situation where both prosper and each loss is lost.

Whether it is due to the pressure from his father-in-law Hou Junji or for his own future, he must find ways to help Li Chengqian ascend the throne successfully.

Obviously, in the current situation, Li Tai has time to continue waiting, but Li Chengqian has no time left.

After Empress Changsun left, one less person was able to help Li Chengqian stabilize the position of crown prince.

“Which two roads?”

Li Chengqian put down his wine glass and stared at Helan Chushi like a hungry wolf.

He was too clear about the consequences of his failure, and Li Tai would definitely not give him a way out.

If he puts his heart in his heart, he will also find a way to kill Li Tai after he ascends the throne.

What kind of brotherhood seems extremely fragile in front of the throne.

"Since someone is competing with His Highness to compete for the position of crown prince, then let this competitor disappear, your position will be stable? Or if you successfully ascend the throne, there will be no topic of competition for the crown prince."

Although Helan Chushi felt that what he said was rather obscure, in Li Chengqian's opinion, he had already said it very bluntly.

Li Chengqian was a little hesitant about whether to get to this point.

"During this period, there are obviously more ministers in the court who impeached the Crown Prince than in the past. They desperately poured dirty water on you, and even said that you are not kind and filial enough, so they almost told Your Majesty to directly change the crown prince. Your Majesty, is there no reason behind this? Many of the ministers are very close to Your Majesty King. They treated Your Majesty like this before Empress Wende's body was cold. You can imagine what turmoil will happen in the future."

Li Chengqian, who used to be a crown prince who satisfied everyone.

However, in recent years, his performance not only disappointed Li Shimin, but also made many ministers lose confidence.

The number of ministers who started to take sides gradually increased.

"Are all the staff arranged to monitor the movements of the King of Wei's Mansion still going well?"

After a while of silence, Li Chengqian seemed to have made up some decision.

"Everything went well. We all know when His Highness of Wei went out, where he went, and who he met. Although he always brought a large number of royal guards every time, he could always find some opportunities."

The task of monitoring Li Tai was arranged by Helan Chushi himself, so he naturally knew the relevant situation very well.

"If you want to take action, you must fight quickly, otherwise the police in Chang'an City will appear quickly, and it will be difficult to succeed."

"Don't worry, either don't move. If you want to do it, you will definitely take everything into consideration."

Helan Chushi breathed a sigh of relief. There was finally a clear direction for this matter.

...

Li Zhi has been guarding the spirits in Zhaoling for 774 to 49 days.

Li Shimin saw this behavior completely.

Although Li Chengqian and Li Tai had various reasons not to go to guard the spirit with Li Zhi, they didn’t go, and it was useless to say that they were not.

Invisibly, Li Zhi showed another wave of presence in front of Li Shimin.

"Second brother, before my mother died, I asked me to ask you more questions. No matter what happens, I can go to you if I don't know how to do it. Now I have something confused. Can I ask you?"

Li Zhi stood beside Li Kuan with a haggard face.

After returning from Zhaoling Shuai, Li Zhi came to the other courtyard of the King of Chu Mansion.

For him, there are not many people worthy of his trust in Chang'an City now.

"Zhi Nu, the second brother promised the Queen to take care of you and would not break his promise. No matter when it is, you can come to me."

Li Kuan had no idea of ​​fighting for the throne at this time.

In his opinion, although being an emperor is very glorious, it is actually very tiring.

Instead of doing this, it is better to be a leisure prince. As long as the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, his leisure life can continue.

Of course, the premise is that the person on the throne does not think that Li Kuan is a threat.

Since he knew that Li Zhi would eventually ascend the throne, he naturally had to provide some help at critical moments.

"Although Ah Niang passed away, I know Ah Ye has always missed her, and Aizi and others missed her very much. I want to build a temple to commemorate Ah Niang, and it also facilitates daily sacrifices and worship. Second brother, what do you think?"

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Li Kuan with anticipation.

Obviously, he must have no money to build any temple.

Since it is a temple specially built to commemorate Empress Changsun, it must not be very shabby.

To a certain extent, this is a royal temple, and its scale must be very grand to deserve its identity.
