Perhaps, His Highness is the only one who dares to scold Li Shimin so harshly.
He sighed in his heart.
At this time, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed, his eyes exploded in disbelief.
He was really at peace just now, immersed in Li Kuan's praise, and feeling relaxed.
But who could have imagined that, without any warning, a meteorite would fall from the sky and knock him to the ground. He almost couldn't even take a breath and was suffocated to death here.
He was confused!
He is stupid!
He was stunned!
Measure the material resources of the Tang Dynasty and bring happiness to the country!
Kneel down and lick the Turks!
Willing to be a dog!
Send your daughter to Turks with your own hands, and strive for peace of mind.
hiss…….
hiss…….
hiss…….
Li Shimin's breathing suddenly became rapid. In an instant. There is only inhalation and no exhalation.
Empress Changsun looked shocked. She quickly supported Li Shimin and beat Li Shimin's back crazily.
"Your Majesty, do you still want to read?"
The old man looked at him, was silent for a while, and asked.
"Read...read...read..."
"continue!"
"Cough cough cough......"
Li Shimin was coughing like crazy and couldn't straighten up.
One hand grabbed his knee hard.
Eyes are red.
It seemed like it was about to bulge out.
He never expected that Kuan'er would give such a comment to Datang!
The old man nodded.
"Father, seeing you like this, I really feel sorry for you."
"Have mercy on this world, have mercy on these people, and have mercy on Changle!"
"What does little Changle know? He was still young, but he was given to the Turks by his weak-boned father."
"You keep saying that it is for the world, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the people. What you say is better than what you sing. But! I want to ask you a question, have you considered it for Changle?"
"Changle is also a common people of the Tang Dynasty! Since you are a common people, as the emperor, I believe that even if you die, you must defend the dignity of Changle!"
"But that's not the case now. Today's Tang Dynasty is not what I want to see. The Tang Dynasty I want to see is one where there is no marriage, no compensation, no land ceding, no tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country!"
"Every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, I, the Tang Dynasty... were not allowed to be ruined by you like this! I hope you will be safe!"
"
The old man read out the last three words, and his eyes moved from the letter to Li Shimin again.
Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on the old man.
His lips were trembling crazily.
His face was pale, and big beads of sweat kept falling down.
"Your Majesty, I have finished reading this letter. This is Your Highness's letter. I have placed it here. I will take my leave."
The old man gently placed the letter on the table next to him, then turned and left.
There was no sound at all in the Li Zheng Hall.
There was only the sound of the old man's footsteps.
When the footsteps walked away, the only sound left was rapid breathing.
Li Shimin swallowed hard.
His eyes remained motionless, completely locked on the paper on the table.
Shoulders shaking.
The soul is frightened.
Lip twitching.
Legs feel weak.
"No marriage, no compensation, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die..."
"I...I...I...cough cough cough..."
Li Shimin spoke with a broken voice, his throat was unbearably hoarse, and he coughed several times.
Suddenly, he covered his mouth with his hands.
A mouthful of blood was coughed up by him.
"His Majesty!
"
Li Junxian yelled.
"Your Majesty, call the doctor quickly!
"
Queen Changsun exclaimed.
"No!"
Li Shimin grabbed Empress Changsun's arm tightly, shouted lowly, and said: "Close the door, I...I...I was wrong."
Then, Li Shimin gave a long filial piety and fell to the ground.
The anger attacks the heart and causes temporary coma.
Maybe he was scolded by Li Kuan's letter.
However, it is more likely that he is just angry with himself.
Chang'an.
The night was silent.
The watchman has struck the ugly hour.
Everything was silent.
At this time, even the scholars who stay up late to read have already fallen asleep.
However, the back hall of the princess's mansion was still brightly lit.
Li Lizhi was sitting in the room, not sleepy at all, her eyes as wide as bells, staring at the flickering candlelight in front of her.
She couldn't sleep.
I can't even close my eyes.
She tried to close her eyes just now, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt that the whole world was spinning in an instant, and one scene after another flashed across the faces of the Turkic barbarians in her mind.
Jieli Langya rushed towards him crazily, and he was like a rabbit among wolves in the grassland.
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out.
Princess Changle was so frightened that she sat up.
"King Chu...Second brother...you should get the news quickly. I don't know where you are now."
Changle murmured to himself, and the corners of his eyes became moist again unconsciously.
Sobbed slightly.
Her last hope now is King Chu.
Father is determined.
Neither can the Queen Mother, nor the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
No one will speak for him except King Chu.
However, Princess Changle knew in her heart that her expectations for King Chu were like the last straw in her mind.
King of Chu…….
Even if he is the King of Chu, it will be very difficult to save himself from this matter.
What's more, King Chu doesn't know where he is at this time.
If the message is sent, it will probably take less than three or four days to receive it at all. If there is a slight delay, it will take ten days and a half.
When the time comes, myself...
"woo woo woo woo……."
After thinking about it, even Princess Changle, who had always been a graceful and graceful lady, couldn't help crying. She cried louder and louder, sobbing softly, and turned into crying with her face covered.
One person, one light, one cry.
miserable.
Lonely.
helpless.
Outside the door, two maids also heard the crying at that time. They wanted to go in, but what could they do if they went in?
The two of them sat on the doorstep with their heads lowered. After a while, their clothes were soaked with tears.
….…….……….
Imperial City.
Li Zheng Palace.
Li Shimin woke up.
He was unconscious only briefly.
Sitting on the bed, his face was pale, dry skin was raised on his lips, his two children were lifeless, and his whole body was extremely depressed.
Queen Changsun sat on one side extremely worried.
Li Shimin said nothing.
His head was pressed against the deep support of the bed, and he stared blankly at the letter on the table.
Since ancient times, I have scolded my sons.
But this time, he was actually pointed at his head and scolded by his own son.
However, Li Shimin does not blame Li Kuan.
It's really not surprising.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... drink some, drink some water."
Empress Changsun held the cup and said softly to Li Shimin.
Her eyes were also full of worry.
No one thought, really... no one thought that this matter would suddenly develop to this point.
Even Empress Changsun was completely surprised.
King Chu, how did he know everything that happened in Chang'an.
Moreover, the time is still so short.
It’s only been one day!
No!
A rigorous calculation showed that it only took half a day for the King of Chu to not only know about it, but also send a reply back.
Especially the content of this letter!
Too…….
Empress Changsun really wanted to grab Li Kuan and beat him up. What she said was too...too...too...for an emperor to accept.
Kneel down and lick the Turks!
With the material resources of the Tang Dynasty, we made the country happy.
Especially what Li Kuan himself said at the end was like a spear, directly piercing the last line of defense in Li Shimin's heart.
Look at the past dynasties.
Listening to that one makes people boil and make it difficult to control themselves.
When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he directly came to use the material resources of the Tang Dynasty to win the favor of the country.
This puts His Majesty directly on the pillar of shame.
Too cruel!
This brat….
Empress Changsun really didn’t know what to say about Li Kuan.
However, hearing these words does make people feel... inexplicably happy.
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
He took the water glass, his stiff eyes moved, and he looked at Queen Changsun next to him.
"Guanyin Maid, bring me that letter."
“I….give me a look.”
Li Shimin pursed his chapped lips and spoke slowly.
He didn't call himself me, he felt he was unworthy, really unworthy.
An emperor should consider the people, yes! Kuan'er is right. If at some point, someone wants to harm his own people, he must step over him.
However, I am better off.
When in danger, he just pushes the people in front of him as a shield.
"Hahaha……."
Li Shimin is funny.
He laughed at himself because he was powerless, at himself for being as timid as a mouse, and at himself for not being worthy of being an emperor.
If you laugh at yourself, you are not worthy of being a father.
Empress Changsun just held Li Shimin's hand.
"Guanyin Maid, bring it here."
Li Shimin said it again.
Queen Changsun stood up. She didn't want to take it. This letter really stimulated Li Shimin too much.
But... He couldn't refuse Li Shimin's will at all.
Li Shimin took it, spread the letter, and placed it on his legs.
Looking at the lines of characters like dragons and phoenixes dancing on it, Li Shimin's face turned blue and purple, uncertain.
Just now he was just listening, not looking.
Looking at it now, he could feel Li Kuan's hatred when he wrote the letter from these words.
And Li Kuan’s suppressed anger!
Some of the words on it didn't seem to be intended to write this word, but they were screwed back in the end.
Li Kuan was controlling himself.
If you don't control it, I'm afraid you will be scolded to death.
Li Shimin could understand every word.
Lips, trembling.
The corners of his eyes twitched.
His whole hand was shaking.
This letter is almost unbearable.
His throat was sweet and he wanted to spurt blood again.
Li Kuan's letter... made him feel ashamed to live!
If it spread, he would want to find a place to kill himself.
"Your Majesty, Kuan'er definitely didn't mean this. He just... just wanted to persuade Your Majesty, and he had absolutely no other ideas."
"Your Majesty is dedicated to the people, and I know that. It's just that this choice was a little reckless and abrupt."
Queen Changsun stood by and explained quickly to the two of them.
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
He shook his head.
"Stop talking, Maid Guanyin, I... I was wrong. Kuan'er is right. No marriage, no indemnity, no ceding of land, no tribute. The emperor guards the country, and the king dies. This is what our Tang Dynasty should be. So majestic, this should be the... bloody nature of my Datang!
"
"This letter is great! It's well written! I want to thank Kuan'er a lot. To be honest, I can't compare with Kuan'er in terms of layout."
"Presumably, Kuan'er will be very disappointed with me when he receives this news. Think about the things we took out from Prince Chu's Mansion."
"These things, no matter which emperor in the past dynasties, can create a prosperous era. Now, we have got them all, but they are still so bloodless, and we are still facing the Turks."
"Even...even more serious than before, I still want to send...send my daughter off, hahaha..."
"Look, look, compare, I am really worse than those ordinary people. People would rather starve to death than protect their children. No matter what, they will choose a path for their children. But what about me? ?”
"I want to push my daughter into the fire pit with my own hands. I...I...hahaha..."
Li Shimin laughed.
He laughed without any reservation, and his laughter was heard throughout the entire Li Zheng Hall. He was just smiling, and the tears directly flooded his eyes.
Like a flood.
gushing.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth trembled crazily.
Trembling wildly.
"I...I...I am ashamed of the people, I am ashamed of Changle, and I am ashamed of the Tang Dynasty!
"
"Guanyin, Guanyin, I was wrong, I was wrong!
"
Li Shimin hugged Empress Changsun and finally couldn't help crying like crazy.
Queen Changsun patted Li Shimin's back gently.
"Your Majesty, it's not too late now, isn't it? There's still time, there's still time."
"No marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute. The emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country. Your Majesty, we in the Tang Dynasty can do it too!
! "
"Being like this is worthy of me, the Tang Dynasty!
"
Queen Changsun said slowly.
Li Shimin nodded heavily.
He cried for a long time before slowly sitting up.
Eyes red.
His face was still a little pale.
However, his spirit was no longer sluggish, and he seemed to have found a new pillar of support. There was light in his eyes, a light that was brighter than the sun.
"Yes, Maid Guanyin, you are right. Kuan'er has already shaped the bones of the Tang Dynasty. I know how to do it."
"Change! Go to court!"
"
Li Shimin jumped out of bed and shouted loudly.
At this moment, the sky outside the window began to slowly turn white.
Before you know it, Mao time has arrived.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and nodded heavily.
She took the dragon robe and changed Li Shimin's clothes with her own hands.
Li Shimin was angry both physically and mentally, and stood in front of the bronze mirror. He solemnly, solemnly, and carefully placed the letter written by Li Kuan close to his body.
"Guanyin Maid, I...have gone."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left the Li Zheng Hall without looking back.
The interior decoration and Li Junxian waiting in front of the door hurriedly followed.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's back and let out a heavy breath.
"Kuan'er, you brat...hehehe, I'm proud of you."
"If there is no marriage, no indemnity, no land ceding, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country."
