Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 714 Li Shimin passed away

Chapter 714 Li Shimin passed away

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li You was 28 years old. At this time, Li You already had four children, and he also grew a beard. He was dressed in white armor and rode on a maroon horse. Behind him was Tiger Ben, who was the commander of Qin Shaoyu. even.

At this time, because Li You got Li Shimin's will, he hurried to Zhongnan Mountain. You must know that Li Shimin had not been in Chang'an City for a long time.

In the 21st year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was in poor health, so he rebuilt Jiucheng Palace and changed its name to Cuiwei Palace after completion.Cuiwei Palace is "cage mountain as garden", the main hall is named Yunxia Hall, the court hall is named Cuiwei Hall, and the sleeping hall is named Hanfeng Hall.Next to it is the other palace of the prince, named Anxi Palace.From then on, Li Shimin worked and lived here until his death.

Li Zhi was also accompanying him, and he never returned to Chang'an City, but Li Mingda was always in Chang'an City, protecting Dunhuafang and Qinglongfang.

Li Zhi has been taking good care of Li Shimin during this period of time, and during this time, Li Shimin also gave everything to Li Zhi, including a book written by Li Shimin himself, called "Emperor Fan", as the name suggests , is the way to be an emperor.

Li Shimin also told Li Zhi: "You should take the ancient sages and sages as your teacher, and don't learn from me. Take the law from the top, and only get the middle, and take the law from the middle, and only get the bottom."

In other words, my success cannot be replicated.Because I am a talent of the heavens, one can come out every few hundred years, but you can't.Why take "sages and sages" as a teacher, because these sages are generally the kings of success, not the masters of pioneering.Li Zhi only needs to follow the steps step by step, without major troubles, and with the capital of the middleman, he can keep Datang stable.

Li Zhi's life in Zhongnanshan was actually quite easy. Although he was not accompanied by his fifth brother Li You, Li Zhi found another sustenance, that is Wu Meiniang. With Wu Meiniang, Li Zhi persisted during this time down.

However, although Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi have feelings for each other, they are not far apart.

This is because Wu Mei later usurped the Tang Dynasty, so later historians stigmatized her, and said that Wu Mei and Li Zhi flirted with Li Zhi before Li Shimin's sick bed, and that's over.

Because you can think of it with your toes, this is impossible.Don't say that Li Shimin won't tolerate this, even Li Zhi and Wu Mei, they are not idiots, and they dare not.The reason why Li Shimin was able to successfully launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident was to falsely accuse Li Jiancheng of adultery in the harem to Li Yuan. Only then did Li Yuan agree to confront him in court the next day, which gave Li Shimin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It can be seen that "dirty and chaotic harem" is a big taboo for the prince, as long as the prince's brain is not kicked into a ball by the donkey, he will not do it.

Although Wu Zetian was not liked by Li Shimin, Li Shimin recognized her intelligence, so she would let Wu Zetian stay by her side. At that time, Li Shimin was tired in his later years and wanted to find someone who was more relaxed and live a good life for a few days, so he was closer, gentle, elegant and beautiful. Xu Hui is a talent who can write poetry.

The relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang is also limited to this. There is no such thing as the so-called estrus but only courtesy, and there is no further deviant behavior.

It wasn't until Li Zhi became the emperor and went to the Induction Temple to burn incense that the two made substantial progress, and Wu Mei was pregnant with a child that year.If the two of you had an affair in the first place, you have no eyesight for so many eunuchs and maids in the palace.You must know that the concubines have to report to the eunuch in charge when they come into contact with men, and there are people around every move they make. Do you think you are going into the grove with your girlfriend?

And the bad guys have already reported the news of Li Zhi and Wu Mei's frequent contacts a long time ago.In fact, Li Zhi's every move, every word and deed during the period of acting as an agent of the government were all under the control of Li Shimin.

So Li Shimin spread the word that Wu Mei went to Cuiwei Palace to serve, and this is how the rumors of later generations began that the two had flirted with each other before the sick bed.Li Zhi lacked such a decisive person as Wu Mei, so Li Shimin created opportunities for them to meet, in fact, it was a close-up inspection of whether Wu Mei and Li Zhi were a golden partner.

Later, Wu Zetian told the courtiers that Emperor Taizong was seriously ill, so he gave me to the first emperor (Li Zhi had passed away when he said this, so he was called the first emperor).

It is not clear whether Empress Wu's words are true or not, because there is no proof of death, and the parties (Li Shimin and Li Zhi) are all dead.However, during Li Shimin's serious illness, Xu Hui, who was deeply affectionate, was not served, but Wu Mei, who was already estranged, was served, which must have a lot of meaning.

Li Shimin laid out too many tricks, especially before his death, he made a lot of preparations for his son.

"Fifth Brother...!" In front of Cuiwei Palace, Li Zhi, who is now an adult, saw Li You, and as before, rushed directly to Li You, and hugged Li You tightly with the dismounted Li You.

After Li Zhi raised his head, Li Zhi's eyes were already full of tears: "Father is dying, let me welcome you into the palace right now, he has something to say to you."

"Let's go!" Li You hugged Li Zhi directly, and then walked to Hanfeng Hall together with Li Zhi.

"Wait a minute...!" Suddenly, Changsun Wuji shouted: "The king of the county can enter the palace, but the private soldiers of the king of the county are not allowed to enter the palace...!" After that, the Jinwu guard directly blocked Li You from entering the palace. Outside the palace gate.

Li You smiled lightly, and then said to Qin Shaoyu who was behind him, "Ruguilian is on standby!"

After finishing speaking, without even looking at Changsun Wuji, he directly supported the weeping Li Zhi and walked to Hanfeng Hall together. When they arrived in front of Hanfeng Hall, Chu Suiliang stood respectfully outside the door.

Just now Li Shimin had been alone with Chu Suiliang and his eldest grandson Wuji. Seeing Li You coming, Chu Suiliang always had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Seeing Li Zhi and Li You kissing together, Chu Suiliang bowed and said : "His Royal Highness, His Majesty let you in alone."

"Can't I go in with Fifth Brother to see Father?" Li Zhi was a little worried.

But Chu Suiliang shook his head: "No, this is His Majesty's imperial decree, please don't resist the decree, Prince!"

Li Zhi looked at Li You worriedly, and Li You comforted Li Zhi with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it, my father won't harm me. Let me go in alone, maybe I have something important to tell you. Stay here with peace of mind, I will be back soon."

"Fifth brother...!" Li Zhi nodded reluctantly.

Then Li You pushed open the gate of Hanfeng Palace, and Li You walked in alone. At this time, the main hall of Hanfeng Palace was dark, and the black cloth covered the main hall so that no light could penetrate it. On the right side, there is a bed with candles on the front and back of the bed. Li Shimin is lying on the bed. Beside Li Shimin, Yang Qu waits on the left and right with tears in his eyes.

Just when Li You walked to Li Shimin's bed, he saw a different Li Shimin. At this time, Li Shimin was already angry, and his body was very thin. It turned out that Li Shimin, who was always in high spirits every time he saw him, was already gone. The rest is an old man in his dying years.

However, Li Shimin's hearing is very good, just as Li You came to the bedside, he heard Li Shimin say slightly: "Wu Lang, you are finally here!"
