Chapter 725: Li Shimin's Death

Chapter 725 Li Shimin's death

Li Shimin slowly said: "I not only dreamed of the queen, but also dreamed of the Xuanwu Gate before!"

Changsun Wuji quickly continued, "Emperor, what should I do about the past? If you feel uncomfortable, then after your condition improves, you will give Prince Yin and others the title and let them re-enter the temple of the ancestors."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is not a difficult task, just a decree. I have done everything, and there is no need to mention it anymore. It's just that I just dreamed of Yuan Ji's son!"

Changsun Wuji raised his voice slightly and said, "Your Majesty, what happened many years ago has happened, I really don't need to think about it anymore. Those children must have been reincarnated and become ordinary people of my Tang Dynasty. They live a life of men farming and women weaving. Although they no longer have glory and wealth, they are peaceful and safe. Peace is blessing. This is better than anything else!"

He repeatedly prevented the emperor from remembering the past because it was so bloody that even the murderous demon king Yuchi Gong could not stand it. He had protested with the emperor. Not to mention the emperor, even Changsun Wuji himself was frightened when he thought of the scene at that time and couldn't sleep at night!

Li Shimin smiled faintly and said, "Now, I am going to see them underground, I really don't know what to say after meeting them, how to face them! Yuan Ji's child was thrown to the ground, flesh and blood..."

Changsun Wuji refused to stop him, leaned down and cried, "Emperor, they were sorry for you at the beginning. You were just protecting yourself. No one would blame you for your success or defeat!"

"The king succeeds and the king fails, the king succeeds and the king fails... Isn't this really talking about me and Jiancheng? There is also Yuanji!" Li Shimin murmured, as if thinking about the past!

Li Zhi and the prime minister present were lying on the ground together, and no one dared to speak, only Li Zhi let out a choking sound.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and said, "Come here, let your father take a good look at you!"

Li Zhi obediently leaned closer to his body and looked up at his father. Li Shimin raised his hand and gently stroked his hair, saying, "As soon as I see you, I think of the queen. You really look like her, and you have the same temper and nature."

Li Zhi's tears fell and he said, "Father, please get better quickly. My son and I will accompany you to hunt, and also play polo..."

Li Shimin smiled, put down his hand, and said, "Don't just spend time, my Tang Dynasty's country, I still want you to protect it!" He sighed softly and said, "Wuji, everyone is here, let's ask them to come in, I have something to say."

He himself knew that he was looking back now and would not be able to support him for long. While his consciousness was still clear, he had to quickly explain what he should have to explain and not delay any further, because he had no time to delay any further!

Changsun Wuji agreed and waved to a small eunuch serving beside him. The small eunuch immediately ran out. In a blink of an eye, the ministers waiting outside came out one after another and knelt in front of the emperor's bed.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Everyone is here. There are old friends who have followed me for many years and new ministers. No matter who they are, they are my right-hand man!"

The ministers choked up together, and everyone knew that the emperor was explaining his funeral!

Li Shimin said: "My Tang Dynasty's internal affairs are clear and clear. As long as he is not stupid, as long as he can still choose a good prince, then my Tang Dynasty can prosper for at least a hundred years. As for a hundred years, the world will change, and children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let them work hard on their own! But I have something to explain clearly. Goguryeo, a country of dung, must be destroyed, and there is no need to find any reason for the war. Just take revenge for Chinese children. If this country is not destroyed, the war will never end!"

Li Zhidao: "My son obeys the order!"

All the ministers said together: "My minister, obey the order!"

Li Shimin also said: "The Turks must be included in the territory of our Tang Dynasty. Not only that, more governors' offices should be built in the Western Regions, and all the places where our Tang Dynasty trample horses are placed will be my Central Plains territory!"

Another voice of obeying the order.

Li Shimin's aura gradually became thicker. He reached out and pulled Li Zhi and said, "My son must be a hero... Father, father, father and ancestors, are in the nine springs, watching..." He did not breathe, his eyelids drooped, and he looked unconscious again.

Changsun Wuji was anxious and shouted, "Where is the imperial physician, the imperial physician, ask them to bring the medicine!"

But Li Shimin was no longer reliable at this time. His body slowly slid down and his whole body was exhausted, but his only hand was still holding Li Zhi!

The imperial physicians rolled in and crawled in. Tao Judong rushed forward and picked up one of the emperor's hands to take the pulse. After a moment, his face turned blue and bloodless. He put down the emperor's hand and went to breathe!

In the hall, there were heavy breathing sounds, and the ministers were all red in their eyes and looked at the emperor. The emperor's eyes had been closed and his body was tilted to the side!

Tao Judong slowly lowered his hand, his eyes were filled with fear, and he looked at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji's whole body was trembling and his eyes were red. He raised his hand many times, trying to explore the emperor's breath, but he could not reach it.

Li Zhi kept trembling and completely lost his mind. Not only could he not raise his hands, but he could not even speak!

At this time, only Ma Zhou, the most stern minister, was still able to move. He slowly climbed in front of Li Shimin and reached out to find his breath...

One day later, Gyeongju.

At that time, it was already late at night and the city gate of Qingzhou was closed. As usual, there was no people coming and going outside the city gate, and it was quiet.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Seven or eight knights, pulling more than a dozen war horses, rushing towards the city gate with distances. The man running in front, waved his whip in his hand, and whipped the horse under his crotch like crazy. Whenever the whip was swung, he could bring blood beads. Obviously, the knights no longer care about the life or death of the riding!

The guards at the city gate were surprised when they heard the sound of horse hooves and looked down one after another. With the moonlight, they saw the knights running towards them.

The leader of the guard said, "What's going on? Why are you running so urgently? Is there another army report? It's really strange. If there is something wrong in Yingzhou, why do you always send military newspapers to our Qingzhou!"

A guard said, "It's not right. If it's from Yingzhou, you shouldn't have walked through our city gate, right? Also, you can't pick a good horse from a thousand miles away. But with this way of running, even if you run to us, the horse will be ruined. Even if you take care of it in the future, you will not be cured. You will be completely ruined!"

As the guards spoke, they suddenly saw the horse running in the front, and the horse fell to the ground. The horse knight fell down and fell into dust. But the knights behind rode past him and did not go to rescue him. Only one of the knights, loosened the reins in his hand, left a spare horse, and then ran forward!

The fallen knight was very good. It seemed that he had known that he could not ride the horse. After falling off the horse, he was not injured. He struggled to jump up, pulled the horse left by his companion, jumped up directly, and then ran. He didn't even look back, and didn't care about the fallen horse at all!

The guard leader shouted: "It must be a big deal, it must be a big deal!"

The guards also saw that the team of knights were dressed as soldiers and generals of the Guards, but they were not wearing armor. This was to reduce the weight and they were running from the south. This was very likely a messenger from Chang'an. If this was true, running so fast that they would ignore the life and death of the horses, that would be an extremely important thing. They would probably have to open the city in the middle of the night!

Sure enough, after seeing the team of knights running near, a knight shouted: "Someone, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, if you have an urgent matter, you should see Wang Ping'an. Open the city gate quickly and do not delay. We have a token of Lord Changsun here. Open the city in the middle of the night, so we will not break the rules!"

The leader of the guard shouted: "Is he the brother of Xuanwu Gate? Isn't that the palace gate of the imperial palace? But it was midnight..."

The knight shouted: "If time is delayed, Wang Ping'an will be beheaded. You can't get it. Things are urgent. What's the point of squandering? Hurry up!"

Another knight ran over, the one who fell before, took out something from his arms and said, "Mr. Changsun's goldfish bag is here. Are you trying to kill Wang Ping'an to be destroyed by the nine clans? Why don't you open the city quickly!"

The defenders were all shocked. The knights called Wang Ping'an's name directly. It would be fine. The high-ranking officials in Chang'an City were everywhere, and the name of the governor Wang might not be very noble. But when Lord Changsun took out all his goldfish bags, something must have happened!

The leader of the guards shouted: "Brothers, I'm not a favor. Even if you take Lord Changsun's goldfish bag, we can't test the authenticity. It's absolutely impossible to open the city in the middle of the night. Otherwise, we will tell the governor, brothers, wait for a moment, okay?"

The knight shouted, "Go quickly and ask Wang Ping'an to put on convenient clothes, ride out on horseback, and go back to Chang'an with us directly. We won't go in. Just tell him one thing, we set off from Chang'an the afternoon before yesterday, and arrived in Qingzhou in a day and a half. He understood everything. Let's say anything else, hurry up, your grandma's!"

Seeing that he was furious, the leader of the guard was also scared. When he knew something was wrong, he ran down the city gate himself, jumped onto the war horse, and ran towards the governor's mansion.

At this time, it was already midnight, and the governor's mansion had already been quiet. However, the lights were still on in the study room, and Wang Ping'an did not rest. He was studying the map. Since he learned that Li Ke started to make trouble in Yingzhou, he had to start studying Goguryeo. However, there were too many things about Goguryeo in this era, and it was complicated. It was not possible to study anything in a short time. Even the Sui Dynasty had to start researching. The workload was too high, so he had to read it at night!

While looking at the map, I suddenly heard someone coming from outside and shouted, "Sir, someone guarding the city gate came from outside and said that someone had come to Chang'an and brought Mr. Changsun's goldfish bag. The messenger said that he set out from Chang'an the afternoon before yesterday and was here now. Let you follow them back to Chang'an!"

Wang Ping'an was shocked and shouted, "What? I came from Chang'an, it took a day and a half to arrive? Is there an imperial edict?" He jumped up from the chair and understood in an instant that the emperor must be critically ill, otherwise there would be an imperial edict, not just Changsun Wuji's goldfish bag!

A servant ran in and shouted, "Sir, there is no imperial edict, only Lord Changsun's goldfish bag, but I don't know whether it is true or false. Maybe they are here to earn the city gate. Could it be the thief who came from the mountain?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Without an imperial edict, it must be that the emperor is critically ill. Changsun Wuji didn't have time to write a letter. The situation has reached such an emergency. I have to go to Chang'an immediately!"

He cursed: "Fuck, Qingzhou is the hinterland, and the surrounding areas are full of big counties. How could robbers go crazy? They will come to earn our city gates. Even if they are full, they will not be able to do this! Go and prepare horses, prepare my white dragon horse, and call Ouyang Li and the others!"

While cursing, he ran out, not intending to wait for the horse to finish preparing!

The servant was surprised, but he thought to himself: "Mr. Governor has always had a good temper. Why did he scold people tonight?" He did not dare to delay, so he screamed at the top of his throat and ran towards the horse circle.

Wang Ping'an ran out of the governor's mansion. Before the white dragon horse was brought in, he was not waiting at the door of the mansion, so he ran towards the city gate.

The guard leader saw the governor running out like a burning butt, and hurriedly shouted, "Sir, there is a horse here!" He quickly brought the horse to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an jumped onto the horse, ran to the city gate, shouting: "Let my guards follow you, keep going to Chang'an on the way!"

The guard leader thought to himself, "What a big deal! But before I could tell what the big deal was, why did the governor run away?"

When I was wondering, a group of disheveled men came out of the governor's mansion, shouting loudly, especially the one in front, who was shouting at the master while jumping up and jumping into the air. As he rose and fell, he caught up with the governor!

The leader of the guards was almost stunned. What's going on? Some people in the world run faster than horses. I'm dazzled?

Ouyang Li went to chase Wang Ping'an, while half of the other Ouyang brothers followed, while the other half were waiting at the door, waiting for the servants to pull the horse out, jumped onto the horse's back, pulled the remaining few horses, and ran towards the city gate together.

The guard leader shouted, "Hey, hey, wait for the little one, and I'm there!" No one answered him, so he had to run away with his legs.

Wang Ping'an ran to the city gate and shouted, "Open the door, hurry!"

When the guards saw that the governor came in person, they did not dare to delay. They had already been preparing to be at the door. When they heard the order, they immediately opened the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge. Wang Ping'an rode his horse out of the city.

The knight waiting outside saw someone coming out and shouted, "But Wang Ping'an?"

Wang Ping'an said: "That's right, Lord Changsun's goldfish bag, bring it to me to see!"

Ouyang Li immediately jumped in front of his horse. He was afraid that these people were evil people. If they were to deceive the owner, wouldn't that be bad? Be careful not to make a big mistake!

But the knights did not make any special moves. One of them threw the goldfish bag over and shouted: "Let's go quickly, you'll be exhausted, you'll be exhausted, you can't delay it. If you go back a while later, Lord Changsun has something to say, you'll destroy your nine tribes!"

Ouyang Li took the goldfish bag and handed it to Wang Ping'an. At this time, the Ouyang brothers ran out of the city gate and the horses arrived.

Wang Ping'an opened the goldfish bag and took out the gold talisman from it. He saw that it was Changsun Wuji's golden talisman. He said, "It's true. Don't doubt it!"

Ouyang Yi said in the back: "We just came back from Chang'an, and we have to go again." He led Wang Ping'an's white dragon horse over and asked Wang Ping'an to change the horse.

Wang Ping'an took a white dragon horse instead and shouted: "I have something to say on the way. If you are separated from you, you will all go to Chang'an to meet!" He ran away after riding!
