My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

night.

Stand in the main hall.

Empress Zhangsun fell ill after returning to her room.

The maid Cai Xiang was terrified, not knowing what was going on.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? I'll go and fetch the imperial physician."

Empress Zhangsun waved her hand: "No need!"

I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest.

Cai Xiang was very anxious to see Empress Zhangsun growing thinner and thinner, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Empress Zhangsun lay diagonally on the bed, not knowing what was wrong with her. Recently, she often felt dizzy and had chest tightness, and couldn't sleep at night.

She recalled Li Shimin's words, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

She sensed that Li Shimin was different from before; the Li Shimin of the past had always listened to her.

He listened to every suggestion he made.

Previously, Li Shimin would come to her every night to talk and stay overnight.

However, nowadays, it's normal for a period of time to not come for a month.

What saddened Empress Zhangsun even more was that it was Chengqian who lifted the siege of Chang'an; if Chengqian hadn't arrived with his troops in time, Chang'an would have already fallen.

However, Li Shimin insisted on imprisoning Li Chenggan in the Dali Temple prison. Li Chenggan pleaded with Li Shimin, but Li Shimin remained unmoved.

This made Empress Zhangsun feel very uncomfortable.

Empress Zhangsun was also a person well-versed in the classics and history.

She was very knowledgeable about the events that had occurred in history.

Originally, Empress Lü and Liu Bang were a couple who had gone through thick and thin together. She made great contributions to Liu Bang's conquest of the empire.

However, as time went by, Empress Lü grew old and her beauty faded.

Later, Liu Bang fell in love with the young and beautiful Lady Qi.

He took Lady Qi with him wherever he went, even on military campaigns, thus neglecting Empress Lü and even considering replacing the crown prince.

Liu Bang said that Liu Ying was not like himself.

Liu Bang often held Liu Ruyi in his arms and doted on him.

Later, Liu Bang, persuaded by his ministers, gave up the idea of ​​changing the crown prince.

Of course, unlike Empress Lü, Empress Zhangsun did not have such great ambitions.

How romantic it was when Wei Zifu and Emperor Wu of Han met at Princess Pingyang's house!

When Emperor Wu of Han favored Empress Wei Zifu, he promoted Wei Qing to the rank of Grand General, and the Wei family members subsequently prospered.

Wei Zifu first gave birth to three daughters for Emperor Wu of Han, and later gave birth to his eldest son, Liu Ju.

Emperor Wu of Han was overjoyed when Liu Ju was born.

On the advice of Dongfang Shuo and others, Emperor Wu of Han made Liu Ju the crown prince and Wei Zifu the empress.

The Wei family's favor was unparalleled at the time.

Emperor Wu of Han even required his ministers to kneel and bow when they met Wei Qing.

However, in the later period, Emperor Wu of Han also favored Lady Wang and Lady Li.

He favored Lady Li, so he sent Li Guangli to lead an army to fight against the Xiongnu, hoping that Li Guangli could achieve military merits like Wei Qing in the process of conquering the Xiongnu and be ennobled upon his return.

Empress Zhangsun wondered if her fate would be the same as Wei Zifu's.

Empress Zhangsun recalled that when Li Shimin was the Prince of Qin, the two of them were of one mind and shared joys and sorrows, and went through many things together.

Finally, Li Shimin became emperor.

Empress Zhangsun thought that she would no longer have to live in fear from now on. However, she did not expect that after Li Shimin became emperor, she would have more and more troubles.
