Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 233 Chapter 245
"Dead? Yes! I'm about to become a dead person! But how long do you think Li Shimin can live? Hahahaha! Did you know that I created ten clones in total, but the number of clones that died due to the exchange of blood reached one?" As many as a hundred! Do you know how dangerous this kind of thing is? You just wait to bury him! Hahahaha!"

Hearing Zuo Ming's ridicule, Xiaoyaozi suddenly laughed viciously.

Zuo Ming was fine, he knew the danger from the beginning to the end, so he wasn't too surprised, he just kneaded a towel into a ball, and then blocked Xiaoyaozi's mouth.

But the others were not so calm, they all looked nervously at Li Shimin in the distance.

Xiaoyaozi was struggling there, and the situation on Li Shimin's side was extremely serious.

This time is no better than last time. The last time was to exchange blood for Eunuch Qian. Although everyone was nervous, they were still calm, but this time it was Li Shimin who stopped his heartbeat. A head of cold sweat.

"Mate, Your Majesty will be fine, right?"

Empress Changsun beside her was also too nervous, she grabbed Zuo Ming's hand and asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, His Majesty has profound virtue, and he will be fine."

Seeing that her knuckles were all white, Zuo Ming had no choice but to tell a white lie.In fact, Empress Changsun is also clear about the situation, and asking Zuo Ming now is just for comfort.

Since it was a blood exchange, it was inevitable that the stage of body transformation would not pass, so after a while, Li Shimin's body began to crack.

Seeing this situation, a group of imperial doctors panicked immediately, and then hurriedly started to clean up.As for Empress Changsun, the prince, and Li Zhi, their complexions changed, and they quickly turned their heads away from the cruel scene.

Not only them, but even Zuo Ming, who had already been psychologically prepared, changed drastically.Because the cracking speed of Li Shimin's body is completely different from that of Eunuch Qian, and the range is also greater.

"What's going on? Why is there such a big rejection!"

Seeing the flesh and blood on Li Shimin's body begin to peel off, Zuo Ming exclaimed.

It's just that no one can give him an answer at this time. Even he doesn't know the reason for this kind of thing, let alone others.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with His Majesty? Ah——"

Hearing Zuo Ming's exclamation, Empress Changsun quickly turned around, and then saw this shocking scene.

"Sew up the wound quickly!"

Seeing that Li Shimin's bones had been exposed, Zuo Ming hurriedly shouted.

Awakened by Zuo Ming, everyone moved quickly. Although their hands were trembling with fear, they finally sewed it up slowly.

It's just that the wounds on his body are okay, Li Shimin's head is starting to split now, and Zuo Ming even doubts whether his brain is still active.

If even his brain turned into a paste, then Li Shimin might never survive again.

However, Zuo Ming didn't dare to speak out with this worry in his heart, but frowned deeply and looked at Li Shimin who seemed to have been sewn into a rag doll.

Next comes healing and transformation.Soon, the threads used to suture the wound were repelled one after another, and Li Shimin was also surrounded by a layer of transparent cuticle.

At this time, the whole exchange of blood was really over. Without further ado, Zuo Ming directly pierced Xiaoyaozi's head with an awl, and then asked someone to bury it.

Xiaoyaozi is also a sad reminder, only half an hour after being resurrected, he was killed again.

After dealing with Xiaoyaozi, Zuo Ming dismissed everyone, leaving only Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian and the royal relatives.

"His Royal Highness Tang, what is going on now? Is this your Majesty's life or death? I don't even understand this?"

After the irrelevant personnel left, Changsun Wuji asked.

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty is only afraid that there will be bad luck. According to common sense, the exchange of blood should be considered over by now, and those who should wake up must wake up. If they don't wake up, there is only one possibility... ..."

After being silent for a while, Zuo Ming said helplessly.

After hearing this, the faces of Empress Changsun and the others turned pale, and the faces of the rest of the princes and ministers also changed drastically.

"Of course, there are always exceptions. Maybe His Majesty just fell asleep..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was too oppressive, Zuo Ming could only say against his will.It's just that everyone obviously didn't believe what he said, so everyone was still depressed.Later, Empress Changsun stayed by Li Shimin's side all night.

However, the miracle did not happen after all, and Li Shimin failed to wake up the next morning after all.

After Li Shimin's death was confirmed, the entire palace was in mourning, and Prince Li Chengqian was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.First of all, there is the issue of Li Shimin's burial. Now Li Shimin has confirmed that only an unconscious body is left after brain death, but he is afraid of hurting Empress Zhangsun's heart if he is buried like this, so he came to seek Zuo Ming's opinion.

"It must be buried, but it cannot be buried as an ordinary person, and the method of burial cannot follow common sense.

His Majesty has already said in his will that if he dies, he cannot be forgotten by the world.That being the case, let's build an open mausoleum for future generations to worship.It's like a pyramid. "

After pondering for a while, Zuo Ming said with a heavy expression.

Li Shimin's sense of honor is so strong that he doesn't even want to be buried peacefully after death. In his will, he emphasized that his funeral should be held grandly, and it is best to find a way for future generations to look up to him forever.

"I have no objection to this, but the queen mother..."

Nodding his head lightly, Li Chengqian also felt that it was feasible, but he still had some concerns in his heart.

"Sooner or later, we have to face it. If it is buried underground, it will be difficult for the queen mother to even see His Majesty in the future. But if it is half-open, she can go to accompany him from time to time. After all, it is only brain dead, and the body is still there. It is another kind Come with me."

Shaking his head, Zuo Ming said helplessly.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian finally let out a long breath, and then nodded again.

Because of Li Shimin's death, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to ascend the throne, but organized Li Shimin's funeral first. Of course, other ministers did not urge him to ascend the throne. After all, he has become a veritable emperor these years.

Li Shimin's tomb was built next to Li Yuan, but it was not underground. Instead, it was filled with a crystal coffin and placed in a magnificent hall.

The person who supervised the construction of this special mausoleum is naturally Zuo Ming. He is now considered a professional mourner for the royal family, and it looks like this. After Li Chengqian dies, he will have to be buried. It's the end.

In order to make it easier for Empress Changsun to mourn Li Shimin, Zuo Ming opened a special room in that hall, and built a courtyard at the back for some concubines and maids in the palace to live in.

According to Li Shimin's will, some court ladies who had never been favored were given their original places, so there are not many people left.Even Concubine Yang went to Australia after attending Li Shimin's funeral.

Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne went smoothly, it can be said that there was no disturbance at all, and the people were extremely calm about his ascension to the throne.

Although the person sitting on the dragon chair has changed, the Great Tang seems to be still the same Great Tang. This can be regarded as the most peaceful and smooth succession of the throne in Chinese history.

After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, the small cabinet was not disbanded. Not only that, but he also greatly expanded the number of personnel in the small cabinet, and stipulated that the small cabinet would meet every six months. Frontline officials at all levels.

In this way, the connection of the entire Tang Dynasty can be said to be extremely close, and basically the central government can clearly understand the situation of all localities, large and small.This can be said to be beneficial to Li Chengqian's control of the empire, but not harmful.

In fact, the establishment of this small cabinet is thanks to Zuo Ming's train operating company. Because of the existence of this company, it only takes ten days to go from the northernmost point of Datang to the southernmost point of Datang.This is the distance from later Russia to Laos, spanning more than half of the world!

Building a railway at this time is much easier than later generations. To build a railway in later generations, various documents and layers of relationships, but in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial decree was the biggest document, and it was basically no problem to build mountains and bridges. Many, tens of thousands of slaves are building roads and bridges, it is difficult for Datang not to prosper.

After three months of filial piety in Chang'an, Zuo Ming's peaceful days came to an end, because at this time, Li Chunfeng suddenly came to his house and told him that Yuan Tiangang was critically ill.

Hearing the news, Zuo Ming even wondered if he heard it wrong.In his image, Yuan Tiangang has always looked like an outsider. He is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a strong body. Why is he critically ill?

With this doubt, Zuo Ming came to Yuan Tiangang's sickbed in Nine Dragons Temple.

When he and Li Chunfeng arrived, an old woman was feeding medicine to Yuan Tiangang.At this time, Yuan Tiangang's silver hair looked older than Eunuch Qian before his transformation.

"Who is this?"

Seeing the old woman, Zuo Ming asked curiously.

"My lord is so forgetful, I actually forgot my old age. It's really enviable to see my lord still look like before!"

Looking at Zuo Ming, the old woman smiled lightly and spoke.

Hearing this, Zuo Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he patted his forehead suddenly, "I remembered, you are senior Baimei Yaoji!"

"My lord still remembers me as a concubine, it's really an honor for my old man."

Seeing that Zuo Ming recognized her, Baimei Yaoji smiled lightly, and a trace of nostalgia flashed across her old face.

More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, he and Yuan Tiangang are both old and out of shape, but this prince is still the same as before, which reminds her of the situation after Li Yuan's death.

Now it seems that everything back then seemed like a dream...
