Li Ke, Li Yin, Li Zhen, and Li Yun have all ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors, and they are usually busy with affairs. Their every move is related to the rise and fall of the country. ** Li Shimin is also the emperor, so he knows this better than anyone else, so generally speaking, if there is nothing too important, he will definitely not call his sons back to Chang'an.

But this time, in the message he sent to the four of Li Yin, he directly said that he was seriously ill and summoned his sons to return to Chang'an. Shocked, at the same time there was an ominous premonition in my heart.

Li Yin didn't have time to speculate on Li Shimin's illness. After confirming that the news was correct, he immediately notified Wang An and other civil and military officials to arrange all domestic affairs, and at the same time asked Wen Xin to prepare, because this time their whole family had to go back.

According to the distance, Li Yin should be the first to receive the news, and Li Ke must be the last. Considering the distance between the four of them is too far, Li Yin did not wait for Li Zhen and the others. On the third day after receiving the news , I arranged everything and set off to leave Taiwan. Not only Li Yin's family was in the fleet, but several princesses such as Shengping, Sitang and Gao Yang were also on board. As women, they also instinctively had a bad feeling.Capital Datang 712

Steamships are already very common in Datang and Daqi, and the technology of steamships has become more and more mature. Not only the efficiency of steam engines is getting higher and higher, but the size of steamships is also getting bigger and bigger, and the speed and safety are also improving. Rapidly improving, it took only seven days for Li Yin to reach Bohai Bay from Taiwan, where he changed to a river steamer and sailed upstream along the Yellow River at the fastest speed.

When Li Yin passed through Weizhou, he finally got the exact news, and at the same time knew the reason for Li Shimin's serious illness. It turned out that Li Shimin fell off his horse while hunting, and was seriously injured as a result.Coupled with the fact that he was getting old, he was seriously ill after being injured, and now he was not only paralyzed in bed, but also not very clear-headed, unable to deal with the government affairs.

Because this incident was so sudden, the situation of the Tang Dynasty was almost chaotic.Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were worried that Li Shimin would not be able to make it through, so in the name of Li Shimin, they urgently ordered Li Yin and the others to return to Chang'an. The first thing was to see Li Shimin for the last time.The second is to suppress the court.

After knowing that Li Shimin's illness was caused by hunting injuries, Li Yin couldn't help blaming himself, because Concubine Yang had asked him to persuade Li Shimin that he needed to be restrained in hunting when he was older, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.He just wrote a memorial, but as he expected, Li Shimin didn't reply. Since then, Li Yin has never tried to persuade him. He thought it was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to have such serious consequences.

After knowing that Li Shimin's condition was urgent.Li Yin immediately speeded up and rushed to Chang'an. Just when he arrived in Zhengzhou, he received the definite news from Taiwan that Li Zhen and Li Yun had already arrived in Taiwan from Tianzhu.He was about to leave for Datang soon, and Li Ke had just received the news and was about to rush back from Rome.

Li Yin took the train in Zhengzhou, and the railway was built in the Guanzhong area a few years ago.The first of these is the Chang'an-Zhengzhou railway, which connects Chang'an with the Yellow River waterway.It is more convenient to travel and transport goods.

When Li Yin's special car passed Luoyang, he immediately felt an unusual atmosphere. The entire Luoyang station had been put under martial law by the army, and his nominal father-in-law Xiao Cuo was also waiting to greet him at the station.After Xiao got into the car by mistake, Li Yin asked about Li Shimin's injury in detail.

It turns out that according to Li Shimin's habit, there is a hunting every spring, which is called spring search, but in the last few years Li Shimin is getting older and his energy is not as good as before. Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, as well as civil and military officials in the court, all opposed it. Concubine Yang asked Li Yin to admonish Li Shimin.

However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to change the nature of the country. In the busy government affairs, hunting has become one of the few hobbies of Li Shimin, and it is also an opportunity for him to prove to others that he is not old. , he didn't take it to heart at all.In addition, hunting is not as absurd as taking pills, and Li Min and the others can't come up with any strong reason to advise them, so even though Li Shimin is almost 60 years old, he still has to hunt several times a year.

The scale of Chunsou is very large. Animals that have just woken up from hibernation go out to look for food. If they are lucky, they may encounter large prey like bears. Therefore, Li Shimin has always been very interested in Chunsou, and this time it is even more so. Five thousand cavalry were mobilized to hunt in the hunting grounds in the western suburbs of Chang'an.

In fact, the emperor's hunting activities are not just for entertainment, but also an opportunity to train soldiers and demonstrate their strength. Therefore, during the spring search, not only officials from the Tang Dynasty will participate, but also some envoys from other countries in Chang'an will be invited. For example, envoys from Tubo, Persia, Rome and other countries participated in this spring search.

Originally, at the beginning of this spring search, everything went smoothly. Under Li Shimin's personal command, five thousand cavalry galloped around the hunting ground, and quickly drove the prey to a small area. Li Shimin was old and strong, he flew on his horse and shot several arrows in a row, killing two stags on the spot, causing everyone present to applaud loudly.

What followed was a few days of hunting. Although Li Shimin was old, his hunting experience was extremely rich. With seventeen heads and more prey, it can be said that he has gained a lot. Except for a few mature generals who have been famous for their arrow skills for several years, no one can surpass him.

But on the last day of the spring search, an accident happened to Li Shimin. In the process of chasing a wild boar, Li Shimin took the lead. Li Shimin's horse sprang out of the woods in front of the horse's head, which frightened the horse, and people stood up on the spot, but Li Shimin fell off the horse's back all of a sudden, and he was unconscious.

When this kind of accident happened, everyone present was stunned. Fortunately, Li Zhi had been following Li Shimin. He was the first to react, and immediately ordered the imperial doctor to rescue Li Shimin on the spot. After simple treatment, he was lifted up. Back to the camp for diagnosis and treatment.At the same time, the news was blocked for the first time, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil.

But the news from the imperial doctor was not optimistic. Li Shimin suffered multiple fractures in his thighs and ribs, and the broken bones fell into his internal organs. In the words of later generations, he had internal bleeding, and the situation was very serious.Even Li Shimin's brain was severely injured when he landed, which is why he has been unconscious.

Li Shimin was not easy to move after being injured, so Li Zhi immediately sent people back to Chang'an to summon the best doctors. Almost all the members of the medical school headed by Sun Simiao arrived. After consulting with Li Shimin, they immediately started to treat his injuries. Fortunately, these years With the rapid development of medicine, more and more people are known about the human body. Therefore, after being rescued by great experts like Sun Simiao, Li Shimin finally regained consciousness, and his life is not in danger for the time being.

There is just one unfortunate news, that is, Li Shimin is getting older, and his bones are much more brittle than those of young people. This is also the biggest reason for his multiple fractures. In the words of later generations, it is the severe calcification of the bones, which makes the fractures The parts are difficult to heal, especially the fractured part of his thigh, it is almost impossible to recover, that is to say, Li Shimin may not be able to walk normally again in the future.

This cruel reality shocked the sober Li Shimin, even disregarding his extremely weak body, he got angry at Li Zhi and others many times.Although Sun Simiao and others advised him to stop his anger and calm down so that he could heal his wounds better, Li Shimin didn't listen at all, which led to more important consequences.Capital Datang 712

Li Shimin is already 57 years old, and many years of heavy government affairs have made his health not very optimistic. Now he has been seriously injured and his body is already extremely weak. In addition, he can't control his temper, and he is irritable and irritable. In the end, his existing heart problem became more serious, and finally caused a more serious disease. To relieve Li Shimin's pain.

In the swaying train carriage, after listening to Xiao Cuo's narration, Li Yin looked at the rapidly receding trees outside the train window and said nothing for a long time. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Father-in-law, Regarding the matter of the father being seriously ill, how did the court, Chinese and military personnel react, and what did the ninth brother do?"

Xiao Cuo has now been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he is considered one of the highest officials in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he is the clearest about the court situation, but he said solemnly: "Your Highness, now the Tang Dynasty is also divided into civil and military affairs. Intervening in politics, so except for a few veterans who are very sad, the other generals are resolutely implementing the orders of His Majesty and the Prince, strengthening the defense of Chang'an and other places, as for the civil servants..."

When Xiao Cuo said this, he looked at Li Yin's calm face, and then said with a firm face: "Before, the civil servants were divided into two factions, one of which advocated calling the princes back to Chang'an, but the number of this faction was not many. The other faction is headed by the eldest grandson, who advocates blocking the news of His Majesty's serious illness, and notifying overseas princes after a period of time."

"Hmph, what a grandson Wuji, I think he wants to wait for the death of the father, and then let the ninth brother ascend the throne before notifying us!" Li Yin snorted angrily.

The reason why Changsun Wuji wanted to block the news was because he wanted to treat a gentleman with the heart of a villain. In his opinion, although Li Yin and the others had already established a country overseas, no one could guarantee that they would be able to do so when Li Shimin was seriously ill. He didn't have any other thoughts, so in order to avoid complications, he planned to block the news.It's just that in this way, Li Yin and the others not only won't be able to see Li Shimin's last side, they may even be unable to attend his funeral.
