At dawn, black clouds are overpowering, and the wind and rain are coming. The air was filled with suffocating dampness, and the entire Imperial City was shrouded in darkness and dreary.

The eldest grandson Wuji knelt in front of Li Shimin's sickbed, his bloodshot eyes full of worry and hesitation. Beside him, there was Concubine Yin De, who also had no sleep all night, and she had been holding Li Shimin's hand since the moment she entered the door, neither saying much nor crying, just sitting like this. On one side, Princess Gaoyang, who was extremely tired from tears, had just fallen asleep on her mother's lap. The room was lit with the lamp of Changming Palace, and several imperial doctors, eunuchs and palace ladies stayed overnight.

"Your Majesty is still awake, how can this be good?" The eldest grandson Wuji frowned deeply, and said to himself, "King Wu was assassinated, and Kansai should be opposed; The court was in turmoil, and the tiger and wolf opened their eyes...... Seeing that my Datang country is about to be destroyed. Your Majesty, the ministers have followed you for decades, and finally have this magnificent Tang Dynasty! Seeing that the hegemony has become a peaceful place in the world, how can you not wake up? …… Where do you let the ministers? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji closed his stinging and sore eyes, and sighed quietly without hearing a sound.

If there is still someone in this world who is worthy of his eldest grandson Wuji's concern, it must be Emperor Li Shimin. For the public, his eldest grandson Wuji is the first assistant of the dynasty, and he has reached the peak of his courtiers, and all his achievements in this life are all due to Li Shimin. Li Shimin not only has the grace of knowing him, but also the true master for whom he is willing to die and is loyal to him.

Privately, the eldest grandson Wuji is not only Li Shimin's brother-in-law, but also a confidant and friend who has been friends since childhood. As the saying goes, it is enough to have a confidant in life. What's more, throughout the ages, there are several monarchs and ministers who can be with each other for a lifetime and never turn back, and never abandon each other?

It was Li Shimin who fulfilled the eldest grandson Wuji, and it was the eldest grandson Wuji who fulfilled Li Shimin.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji would rather lie on the hospital bed and sleep unawake than Li Shimin at this critical moment.

"Datang, if you don't have the eldest grandson Wuji, how can you not have His Majesty the Emperor?" The eldest grandson Wuji, who had his eyes closed, almost couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

At this time, a hundred horsemen walked in lightly, knelt down beside the eldest grandson Wuji and whispered, "Situ, something's wrong." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji understood, got up and walked outside.

I saw that in the darkness of dawn, at the end of the hundreds of steps of the Dragon Tail Road in Penglai Palace, two people knelt down.

"Who is it?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked in surprise.

"It's Qin Tong, the general of the right guard, and Qin Bin, the deputy commander of the hundred cavalry prisons."

He ...... They? Eldest Sun Wuji was a little stunned for a moment, and wiped his hazy and sore eyes, "What are they doing here?" ”

"As soon as the two sons came, they knelt here, and their subordinates ...... Don't dare to ask. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stepped down hundreds of steps of the Dragon Tail Road and came to the two of them, but saw that Qin Tong and Qin Bin had gone to their official uniforms to tie themselves with their backhands, and knelt there with their heads bowed.

"Two sons, what do you mean?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked in surprise!

Childe, it's a noble title. Now that the Qin family is a famous family, it is a great honor for the sons of the Qin family to be called sons. There was a Tang generation, and only the prime minister or the male son of the prince and aristocracy were worthy of such titles.

"Situ, the two brothers are here to treat the crime!" Qin Tong looked up at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a straight face.

"Why do you say that?!" The eldest grandson Wuji was surprised.

"Hey!" Qin Tong sighed heavily, "Chang'an is rumored, Qin Mubai in Guanxi wants to rebel, Situ doesn't know?" ”

"Yes, I heard some rumors." Eldest Sun Wuji furrowed his brows, "But it's just a rumor!" - Two sons, please get up! Loose! ”

"Situ, please allow the last general." Qin Tong didn't get up and said, "The last general also knows that this is mostly a rumor. But such a big thing, I would rather believe in it than believe in it! That's right, the two of us are Qin Mubai's brothers. But I am also the minister of Datang! If this is just a rumor, it is not important for us to be bound by some wrongs; If he's really opposed...... asked the court to punish the Qin family from top to bottom, Qin Tong took the brunt of it, and would rather die than be with the thief! ”

"General, he is really loyal and upright, and he is so impressed by the eldest grandson Wuji!" The eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath, bent down and helped Qin Tong and Qin Bin up, and personally relieved the two of them.

"Situ, no!"

"Why not!" The eldest grandson Wuji said loudly, "Even I don't believe that Qin Mubai wants to rebel, do you still believe it?" ”

Qin Tong and Qin Bin were stunned!

Ask yourself, how can the two brothers believe that Qin Mubai will rebel, and how can they want the Qin family to be a real chicken and dog? This decision is nothing more than a bitter ploy to retreat as an envoy, if you really wait for the court to take people, you will be passive!

The eldest grandson Wuji personally loosened the ties for the two, Zhengse looked at them, and said: "That's right, everyone in the government and the opposition knows that the eldest grandson Wuji is at odds with Qin Mubai. My son, Changsun Juan, also died in the Kansai Army. Whoever looks like I'm at odds with him. But now, the society is restless and the world is in trouble, how can my eldest grandson Wuji miss the national affairs because of private abolition? ——The sky can be learned from the earth, no matter what, the eldest grandson Wuji does not want my great river's thousand-autumn foundation to be ruined! No matter who it is, as long as he dares to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty, my eldest grandson Wuji will really be inseparable from him! ”

"Situ! ......" Qin Tong and Qin Bin burst into tears and bowed down again.

"Hurry up, two sons, please get up!" The eldest grandson Wuji helped them up again and said with relief, "The two sons don't have to be careful, the rumors stop at the wise, and the court has its own public opinion." Now the rumors are spreading violently, but if you can't hold your breath for both, wouldn't it be in response to the rumors, causing chaos in the government and the opposition? The more critical this moment, the more heroic the true colors can be revealed! Therefore, the two sons must not be suspicious and feel at ease. The right guard is in charge of the imperial city guard, and the responsibility of the hundred horsemen is even more important. On the occasion of the appointment of people in the imperial court, the two sons must be dutiful and loyal! ”

"Xie Situ!" Qin Tong and Qin Bin were ashamed and felt, and bowed their hands to thank them with tears streaming down their faces.

At this moment, Qin Bin exclaimed in a low voice, "Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

The three of them looked back, and Princess Gao Yang came not far behind the three of them at some point.

I saw that her face was tired, but her expression was cold, and she said lightly: "I know what you say." ”

"Princess, listen to my explanation......" Qin Tong said busily.

"Brother doesn't need to say much, I know myself." Princess Gaoyang smiled indifferently and said to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Uncle Guo, please listen to me." First of all, I never believe that Mu Bai will rebel; Secondly, if Mu Bai is reversed, if he wants to punish Lian, please start from Gaoyang. As long as there is a soldier in Kansai who dares to step into the Central Plains, he must step on my Li Ling'er's corpse! ”

With that, Princess Gao Yang turned around and walked back step by step on the Dragon Tail Road stairs.

The dark clouds rolled, and a thunderclap sounded out of thin air, shaking the imperial city.

Heavy rain, pouring down.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the other three stood under the dragon tail road in amazement, watching the figure of Princess Gaoyang gradually drift away, and fell into silence together.

At this time, in the emperor's bedroom. Concubine Yin De felt something strange in her hand, and hurriedly fixed her eyes to take a look, Li Shimin opened her eyes!

"Your Majesty, you're awake!" Concubine Yin De whispered in surprise, and her tears finally couldn't help but flow!

Li Shimin looked sideways at Concubine Yin De with half-open eyes, and it seemed that he couldn't turn his head, and he weakly shook her hand with half a bit of strength in his hand.

Concubine Yin De hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor to check the pulse. After a while, the imperial physician was overjoyed and said, "God is pitiful, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!" Your Majesty has woken up, and he is probably fine! ”

"Then why can't Your Majesty move or speak?"

"For the time being, you can gradually recover after a period of rest." The Imperial Doctor's voice trembled with excitement, "If the wind is fast, it will be disabling or fatal. But fortunately, when His Majesty's dragon body is healthy and the doctor is able to save him, coupled with the favor of the heavens, His Majesty should be fine! As long as you are no longer irritated or harmed, and you are treated with medicine and stones, you can be healed within 100 days! ”

"In this way, it is really blessed by the heavens, and my Buddha is merciful!" Concubine Yin De knelt down and thanked him.

At this time, Princess Gaoyang and the eldest grandson Wuji also returned to the room, and when they saw the emperor wake up, they were so surprised that they each knelt down in front of the sickbed, crying with joy.

Li Shimin was helped to sit on the couch, and opened his mouth with difficulty, unable to speak, and unable to lift his hands.

"Hurry up, you don't have to cry or say much, Your Majesty has just woken up, and you can't move or speak, let alone be stimulated." Concubine Yin De said.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Princess Gaoyang hurriedly got up and stood on the side, secretly waving their sleeves to wipe their tears.

At this time, Li Shimin's eyes were struggling to open, but his eyes were staring at the eldest grandson Wuji, as if he had words, but he couldn't speak. The eldest grandson Wuji understood, sat on the edge of the couch and approached Li Shimin, and said softly: "Your Majesty has a will?" ”

Li Shimin blinked hard.

Concubine Yin De and Princess Gaoyang glanced at each other, retreated silently, and took out the people of the Imperial Doctor Palace and other miscellaneous people.

There was no one around, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What is Your Majesty's will?" ”

Li Shimin opened his mouth with difficulty, unable to speak. The eldest grandson Wuji was anxious, seeing Li Shimin staring at his chest, he thought about it and asked, "Heart? Your Majesty has a chest ache? ”

Li Shimin gestured with a look in his eyes, "No! ’

"Heart...... Distressed? Heart? - Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the prince? "The eldest grandson Wuji is smart after all, and he has a close relationship with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin blinked his eyes with relief, signaling that he had guessed correctly.

"Your Majesty is assured that the minister has sent Chu Suiliang to Jingzhou to investigate the case of King Wu. The minister has to report that King Wu should be safe and sound, but he was kidnapped! Chen believes that Chu Suiliang will soon be able to find out the truth and save King Wu! "Chu Suiliang went to Jingzhou and hasn't come back yet, and the eldest grandson Wuji is also purely made up, just to make Li Shimin feel relieved.

Li Shimin gestured with his eyes, 'I'm not worried about Li Ke'.

"Is Your Majesty worried, other princes?" Eldest Sun Wuji was surprised.

Li Shimin blinked, 'You are so smart, you guessed right'!

The eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback at the moment, "Could it be that Your Majesty is worried...... King Jin?! ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened!

In the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, he was also taken aback, and secretly said, "Yes, I'm so confused!" If something happens to King Wu, isn't King Jin just as dangerous?! ——The first emperor's sacrifice day is approaching, and the king of Jin was ordered to go to the northern capital Taiyuan more than a month ago to worship his ancestors on behalf of the emperor. Calculate the time, now is the return date, if King Jin also has an accident in the middle of the road, it will be really bad! ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the old minister will immediately send a capable person to lead the soldiers and horses to the northern capital to welcome the King of Jin back to Beijing!" The eldest grandson Wuji clasped Li Shimin's hand and said.

Li Shimin let out a long breath and closed his eyes tiredly.

The eldest grandson Wuji was secretly happy, but secretly sad, and thought to himself: God is pitiful, although Your Majesty is violently ill, but fortunately, he is sober-minded and wise. I'm not sick, it's better for him to be thoughtful! - The crime of heavenly killing, I should have thought of protecting King Jin!

At this time, Li Shimin shook the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji a little harder. The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty still has a will?" ”

Li Shimin looked away and stared at the medicine bowl at the bedside.

"Oh, Your Majesty wants medicine? The minister immediately went to call the imperial doctor! "The eldest grandson Wuji said that he was leaving.

Li Shimin almost used all his strength to pull the eldest grandson Wuji down.

The eldest grandson Wuji was surprised, "Your Majesty doesn't want to use medicine?" ”

Li Shimin stared at the medicine bowl again!

"Medicine bowl? …… Medicine? …… Pharmacists! Pharmacist Lee?! The eldest grandson Wuji was surprised, "Your Majesty wants to summon you, Wei Guogong Li Jing?" ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes and let out a long exhale.

"I actually guessed correctly, Your Majesty wants to summon Li Jing!" The heart of the eldest grandson Wuji jumped thumping!

At this time, what is the emperor's intention in summoning Li Jing, who has long since retired? …… Could it be that it is for Qin Mubai?!

His Majesty has been in a coma for a few days, and he must be unaware of the rumors of Kansai in the outside world. But when King Wu had an accident, it was easy to think of Qin Mubai - could it be that His Majesty was also worried that Qin Mubai would be forced to rebel because of this?

It is better to believe in what it has than to believe in what it does not have; In the current crisis, take precautions!

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor has fallen, and there is no one to suppress the dispute between the civil and military factions above the court. In fact, in addition to Qin Mubai, there are also many marshals of the feudal frontier who are arrogant and fierce, who can suppress them?

Only Wei Gong Li Pharmacist!

The situation is unpredictable, if Qin Mubai is really forced to rebel one day, and His Majesty the Emperor cannot preside over the overall situation, who can suppress Kansai and turn the tide?

There is only Wei Gong, Pharmacist Li!

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly burst into tears, and the old tears were all over the place. He clasped Li Shimin's hand and cried: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister will go and invite Duke Wei!" …… His Majesty has the right to recuperate with peace of mind, and everything is taken care of by the old ministers, Fang Xuanling, Wei Gong and others. As long as I wait for the old minister to still have a breath, the sky of the Tang Dynasty will not collapse! ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes, let go of the eldest grandson Wuji's hand, and let out a long breath, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
