Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 697 Li Shimin's Change
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin is lying on the bed, and Xu Hui is taking care of him attentively. It is not the first time that Li Shimin has been so weak. It was probably in the seventh year of Zhenguan that Li Shimin suffered from "Qi disease" and has not recovered for nearly a year. Naturally, Empress Changsun took good care of her and waited day and night.But what is puzzling is that she always carries a bag of poison with her.

Of course, no one believed that she wanted to murder Li Shimin.A year later, Li Shimin recovered from his illness, but Empress Changsun fell ill.It turned out that Empress Changsun had "qi disease" since she was a child, and she always took care of Li Shimin with illness.

More than a year later, Empress Changsun died of a serious illness.But before she died, Empress Changsun took out the poison hidden in her body, and said the last sentence: "The concubine has been hiding this bag of poison when your majesty was seriously ill. If your majesty goes west one day, I will follow him to the death." Your Majesty, definitely not like Lu Zhi!" Li Shimin held her hand, tearing up.

Soon after, Li Shimin built a watchtower in the palace, the purpose is to be able to see the tomb of Empress Changsun at any time, so as to comfort his longing!

Empress Changsun won Li Shimin's heart, she also won Li Shimin's heart for her own children, and she also won Li Shimin's heart for Changsun Wuji.

"Wuji is here!"

With the help of Xu Hui, Li Shimin sat up, looking at his eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin showed a long-lost smile.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here. I wonder if Your Majesty is feeling better?"

"It's all old problems, don't worry, I'll be fine, but I want to know now, Li You, Li Ke, Li Yin, what are you going to do?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question about Li You and the others, Changsun Wuji also bowed and smiled: "It's almost done, but it will take some time, and I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation."

You must know that Changsun Wuji is suffocating now, Li Shimin wants Changsun Wuji to find an excuse, and then let Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin drive out of Chang'an, but since Changsun Wuji got a bad person, Changsun Wuji Ji began to look for evidence that made Li You, Li Ke and others unable to stand up.

He is different from Li Shimin. In Li Shimin's eyes, Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin are still his sons.

But in Changsun Wuji's eyes, Li You and others were his mortal enemies. In order to get it done once and for all, Changsun Wuji had to kill these three people at once, and he couldn't let these three people have any chance of being alive.

"Okay, okay, then it's up to you. During this period of time, I feel the filial piety of the childish slave more and more. Maybe the childish slave is not an iz who expands the territory, but it is still safe to let him be a successful king. Yes, plus some of the team I left behind, there should be no problem."

"Why did your majesty say that, your majesty is in his prime, don't think about it!"

Changsun Wuji quickly comforted him, and Li Shimin also showed a smile: "Yes, I may be thinking a little too much because I am sick this time, but there is one thing that Wuji needs to help me with.

The imperial doctor said that my Tai Chi Palace is damp and cold, and my illness is probably caused by this, so I want to build a palace, but either build it up from the ground, or rebuild five new palaces including the Sui Dynasty Renshou Palace in Fengxiang Mansion.

However, the national treasury is a little empty now, and there are not too many internal crossbows. Wuji wants to help me find a way. "

"This is easy!" What Li Shimin didn't expect was that just after he finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "King Qi left, King Qi's two workshops are still there, and King Qi's business is still there. Handing over the land of the two squares to the prince is justified, and the prince's filial piety can shine the sun and the moon.

The money will definitely go to His Majesty's nephew, so that His Majesty can use his nephew to build the palace! "

"Okay!" Changsun Wuji's words made Li Shimin smile happily, but Xu Hui on the side frowned slightly, because what a shameless behavior this was, and he wanted to use his own son's To fill himself with things, you must know what kind of emperor Li Shimin used to be, and now he does such a thing, it is simply shameless.

In fact, in the history of ancient China, many capable monarchs emerged, which promoted the development of history.Some of these monarchs made achievements in the early stage, but in the later stage they became extravagant and promiscuous, and neglected their administration.The more typical ones are Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi and so on.

Among them, Li Shimin was still able to appoint people on their merits in the early days, and he created the so-called rule of Zhenguan. However, in the later period, with the consolidation and expansion of power, Li Shimin became increasingly arrogant and extravagant.

For example, minister Wei Zheng pointed out that in the early days of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was happy when he heard remonstrance, and praised when he saw good;

In addition, Li Shimin's suspicions continued to increase, and he always suspected that ministers were conspiring against each other and threatening his dominance.Therefore, be wary of those suspicious ministers, and find the right time to execute them.

Although Li Shimin often criticized Emperor Sui Yang's extravagance and licentiousness, he yearned for a luxurious life in his heart.In the later period of Zhenguan, Li Shimin built a series of palaces: Luoyang Palace, Feishan Palace, Yuanpu Garden, Xiangcheng Palace, Tangquan Palace, Cuiwei Palace, Yuhua Palace and so on.

And Li Shimin's mediocre period was the 19th year of Zhenguan. After returning from Goguryeo, Li Shimin at that time really could no longer be called Renjun or Mingjun.

The reason why Li You left was because Li You didn't dare to stay by Li Shimin's side anymore.

Just some time ago, the admonisher Liu Ji said something from the bottom of his heart that "the disease is so serious, the holy man can be worried", Li Shimin charged him with "conspiring to hold the court" and ordered him to commit suicide.

At this time, Li Shimin had gradually become arrogant, extravagant and lustful. He ordered three times to recruit beauties to enrich the harem.No one knew why, but Li You could guess slightly.

A large part of the reason is that Li Shimin may be a little tired and sick after returning from Goguryeo, so this prompted Li Shimin to be content with pleasure. After all, people are easy to compromise in the face of death, and become irritable, suspicious, and start to enjoy life. Even the price of pleasure is heavy.

Li Shimin is also a human being, he also has emotions and desires, and he is also afraid of death, so Li Shimin changed, and Li You wanted to leave Chang'an at this time, and leave Li Shimin's side, this is the best way to protect himself.

Because if Li You didn't leave, no one would know what was waiting for Li You.

Two days later, on the day when Li Shimin felt that his body was getting better and the Great Court Meeting started, Li You, Li Ke, and Li Yin's dog-eat-dog plan was finally implemented, and the three princes fought for the first time in the Tai Chi Hall. Once chaotic and embarrassing.
