Datang Longya

Chapter 850 Li Shimin fell ill
Li Yuan's life can be said to be very exciting.

The Li family is the descendant of Li Hao, the founding monarch of Xiliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and has been dignified for generations.Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was a Taiwei during the Western Wei Dynasty. He joined the Prime Minister Yu Wentai, the Taibao Li Bi, and the Grand Sima Duguxin to protect the Wei family.After receiving Zen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Hu was posthumously named Tang Guogong.

The title of Tang Guogong is the origin of the Li family's "Tang" title.

In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was abdicated by Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty.Since Li Yuan's aunt was the Queen Dugu of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was very close to Li Yuan and even appointed Li Yuan as Qianniu to prepare his body.This official position is the emperor's imperial military officer, which shows that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty attached great importance to Li Yuan.

Afterwards, Li Yuan turned to be the governor of Qiao, Qi, and Longzhou.After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Li Yuan was not neglected. He served as the prefect of Xingyang and Loufan counties successively, and was later appointed as the young supervisor in the palace and Wei Wei Shaoqing.

In the 13th year of Emperor Yangdi's great career in Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan officially served as the guardian of Taiyuan and Jinyang Palace. He was ordered to lead his troops to conquer the Lishan snitch Zhen Zhaier. He met Zhen Dier in Queshu Valley in Hexi County.

In the process of suppressing the peasant uprising, Li Yuan recruited surrenders and accepted rebels, constantly expanding his strength.Li Shimin knew that the Sui Dynasty was bound to perish, and in the process, he also secretly made friends with heroes, recruited fugitives, and recruited all kinds of talents.

In July of the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan led an army of [-] swearing-in troops, and formally raised troops to Guanzhong in the name of "abolishing the obscurity and establishing the Ming, supporting the generation of the king, and restoring the Sui Dynasty".Even with such a slogan, Li Yuan had already decided to rebel at this time.

In the published proclamation, he reprimanded Emperor Sui Yang for listening to slander, killing Zhongliang, and resorting to military force, which caused public resentment to boil.After swearing in, Li Yuan, his eldest son Jiancheng, and his second son Shimin sent troops to the south, successively breaking the Sui Yingyalang general Song Laosheng who was guarding Huoyi, crossing the Yellow River, and encircling the Sui general Qu Tutong who was guarding Hedong without attacking.Advance rapidly to the southwest.At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was far away in Jiangdu, and the Sui army in the pass was weak; the Wagang Army in the Central Plains fought fiercely with Wang Shichong, and neither had time to look around.Therefore, Li Yuan's army marched rapidly, and entered Chang'an on November 13, [-].

After that, supporting Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty and then forcing him to take the Zen position was exactly the same as the change of many dynasties.

After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, all kinds of wastes were waiting to be lifted.While organizing forces to unify the country, he paid attention to strengthening the political power.The political, economic, cultural, and military systems of the early Tang Dynasty basically took shape during Li Yuan's period.

Therefore, it is incorrect to simply attribute the establishment of the Tang Dynasty to Li Shimin, and Li Yuan also played a big role in this process.

It's just that Li Shimin's military exploits, and his achievements after becoming the emperor, were so dazzling that Li Yuan's achievements were completely overshadowed.Even, people are accustomed to attribute Li Yuan's achievements to Li Shimin.

No matter what, Li Yuan had already passed away at this time, and his achievements and faults all became a thing of the past with the fall of the Dragon-Breaking Stone.

After returning from Xianling, Leng Feng went directly to the Ministry of War.

This month, the government affairs delayed by Li Yuan have piled up. If the court is to operate normally, these government affairs must be dealt with in a short period of time.

However, before the various departments finished handling the accumulated government affairs, another bad news came from the palace.

Princess Jinyang couldn't bear it after all, and passed away.

When he heard the news, Leng Feng sighed and put down the pen in his hand.

In one month, he lost his father and daughter one after another. I don't know if Li Shimin can persevere.

After the news came out, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Dai Zhou, Leng Feng and others all went to the palace to visit the emperor.

The Yangju Hall was full of busy people, after a long time, Empress Changsun and Sun Simiao came out.

The queen was also pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Leng Feng grabbed Sun Simiao's arm and asked, "How is the emperor?"

Sun Simiao sighed and said: "I have experienced the loss of father and daughter in a month, and I can't bear it alone. Your Majesty's mind is damaged, and he can only rest for a short time, and cannot go out casually."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the emperor was fine.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at his younger sister with pity: "Empress Empress."

Empress Changsun sighed: "My palace is fine. Your majesty still needs someone to take care of me. I can handle it. But in terms of government affairs, there is really no further delay, but your majesty is really not fit to go to court again. This."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty is not fit to go to court, let the crown prince supervise the country for a short time. This is not the first time His Royal Highness has supervised the country, so there should be no problem."

The queen sighed and said, "It's not that easy. Before Cheng Qian supervised the country, it was because His Majesty didn't have free time. Now that it's like this, I'm afraid he won't agree easily."

Leng Feng took out the token from his waist, handed it to the queen and said, "Use this, the emperor said that even though the Supreme Emperor is no longer around, this jade pendant is still valid."

The queen took the jade pendant and said: "That's the only way."

After finishing speaking, the queen took the jade pendant and entered the Yangju Hall.

Although Fang Xuanling and others were puzzled by the confusion between the Queen and Leng Feng, they did not ask any questions after all.

Of course, even if they asked, Leng Feng wouldn't say anything.After all, the emperor was bound by a jade pendant to do three things, which is too extraordinary.

After a while, the emperor's decree came out: the prince began to supervise the country.

After hearing the decree, Fang Xuanling said anxiously: "Let's go and find the prince, we have to hold a court meeting quickly, there are too many backlogs this month, if we don't finish them, it will be autumn soon, when the time comes Busier."

Everyone hurried to the East Palace to find the prince and let him preside over the court meeting.

Li Chengqian has been helping Li Shimin with government affairs over the years, and he is completely capable of being alone.

Under his auspices, the court's one-month backlog of affairs was dealt with in just ten days.

After a court meeting as usual, Li Chengqian left Leng Feng behind.

The master and apprentice went to the East Palace side by side.

"Master, a new batch of crabs has been shipped from Dengzhou. I don't know how to transport them, but they are still alive and well. The queen mother took some away for the emperor to taste. There is not much left, just enough for the four of us, master and apprentice, to eat for a while." pause."

Leng Feng patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder: "It's been hard for you these few days, so many things have been piled up for you to deal with, you haven't slept well yet."

Li Chengqian smiled wryly: "I have to deal with the hard work, I am the prince, this is what I should do."

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the East Palace, Leng Feng asked him: "You have been the prince for 20 years, and no one under your command has talked about your grievances?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Someone said it, and then I dealt with it. Now, the group of people under me are very honest."
