Chapter 6: Death

Li Zhiying looked at the figure standing outside the inner palace with a bit of complexity.

Many years ago, like many ladies in Chang'an, she regarded him as her dream lover.

Compared with those who can only conjecture, Li Chiying has always been the most likely.

After all, her father, the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty, personally asked about this, and her brother, the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, also told her.

In addition to this, they have a lot of contacts, contacts.

But fate is such a thing, no one can force it.

Pei Min fought abroad for a long time, and guarded in the western Xinjiang, Li Dan is a Chinese material, as the emperor's talent is not outstanding, but the most important feelings, unwilling to let his daughter marry to the north to suffer, learned that Pei Min guarded the frontier after regretting it, planning to find a new candidate for her.

Li Zhiying was unwilling, and the matter dragged on until Li Dan died of illness.

Li Zhiying prayed for Li Dan for three years as a Taoist priest.

In the following years, King Shen Li Lian, King Qi Li Longfan, and Princess Jinxian died one after another, and Li Zhiying tasted the sorrow of the departure of his relatives.

A heart is also light, and I really have the idea of entering the Tao.

But he didn't want to make her forcibly return to the vulgar at this most critical time, and made a marriage between the two in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Goodbye unexpectedly today, Li Zhiying's eyes were a little moist, and various feelings came to her heart.

Lowering the curtains, she cried out in fear that she would not be able to control herself for a while.

"I've seen the eldest princess!"

Pei Min bowed.

"King Pei Jun doesn't need to be polite!" Li Zhiying's voice came out of the incense car, and the tone was a little cold, but the last note was a little out of voice.

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyin ran out in a hurry, and when he saw Pei Min and Li Zhiying outside the palace, he shouted anxiously: "Eldest princess, county king, you go in quickly, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am talking about you." ”

Lin Zhaoyin's tone was a little wrong.

Pei Min's face changed suddenly, and he rushed directly to the harem.

Li Zhiying's face was also pale, Li Longji hurriedly invited her into the palace today, and she felt that there was something wrong.

Behind him, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Pei Min looked back, but it was Li Zhiying.

"Come up!"

Li Zhiying screamed and stretched out his hand.

Pei Min involuntarily pulled, and flexibly turned over on the horse's back.

Li Zhiying's riding skills were not perfect, and he couldn't control the horse, Pei Min took the reins and rode the horse to Li Longji's dormitory.

Pei Min turned over and dismounted, although he was anxious, he didn't ignore Li Zhiying, and helped her off the horse.

Pei Min wanted to walk briskly towards the dormitory, but found that the corner of his clothes was pulled.

Li Zhiying closed her eyes, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid, don't dare!" ”

Fear!

Pei Min was also afraid.

Since Li Longji was lonely, Pei Min knew that there would be such a day, but he had been longing for a miracle in his heart.

But......

"Don't be afraid, there's me!"

Pei Min can't understand what a girl who loves to laugh so much and has a bit of eccentricity has gone through to become like this today, which is distressing?

All he could do was comfort her as much as possible.

The simple four words, like the switch of the faucet, turned on the long-stored teardrops, and the tears rolled down, and said with a bit of crying: "Let's go, don't let the third brother wait for a long time." ”

Li Zhiying strode towards the dormitory, and Pei Min followed him into the main hall.

Li Zhiying ran to the bed, knelt in front of the bed with Li Longji's appearance, and cried out: "Brother Huang! ”

The miserable sound is heartbreaking to hear.

Pei Min came to the bed with heavy steps, and looked at Li Longji on the sickbed, with a hint of discomfort on his resolute face.

With that skinny appearance, where is there still a shadow of Li Jiazaburo?

Li Longji put one hand on Li Zhiying's head, and pointed at Pei Min with the other.

Pei Min came to the couch, knelt down, and clenched Li Longji's hand.

Li Longji worked hard to put his gloomy eyes on his face, with sadness and unwillingness in his eyes, and a trace of expectation.

Holding Zhuang Li Longji's trembling hand, Pei Min couldn't help shedding a few tears.

The surrounding concubines and concubines, as well as the eunuchs and attendants, were all infected, and they all wept.

Pei Min said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely protect the prince and the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Longji's eyes were bright, showing a mixture of surprise and relief, opened his mouth, and said weakly: "And her ......"

Pei Min nodded cautiously and said, "Including the eldest princess!" ”

Li Zhiying's body trembled slightly.

Li Longji slowly closed his eyes, tilted his head to the side weakly, and passed away.

The crying in the dormitory immediately shook the sky, and the attendants around him also knelt on the ground.

According to the rules, when the emperor is funeral, he is not allowed to ring the death knell, first of all, the Beijing division is under martial law, and after the mourning, the temples and palaces in the city ring the bell 30,000 times to show mourning.

Pei Min endured the grief in his heart and took charge of Li Longji's death.

first ordered martial law in Beijing, and then ordered Dai Xiao, a civil and military official, to enter the court.

When Pei Min issued the martial law order in Beijing, many officials had already guessed the reason, and when Dai Xiao's order arrived, the civil and military officials immediately woke up, and they couldn't help but cry.

As a trusted minister, Pei Min endured his grief and wrote the sacrifice himself.

At the end of the memorial text, Pei Min summed up Li Longji's body: all-round talent in civil and military affairs, leniency and strictness, knowing people and being good at their duties, not being good at slander, and having a strong and martial strategy, the same as Taizong. In the reign of 20 years, Weide was dressed and served by the Quartet. The territory is wide, far ahead of the ancestors. Success, success, excellence.

Perhaps in history, Li Longji has a mixed reputation, and he evaluates the world's wise monarchs, and Li Longji is not even virtuous.

But Li Longji in this era is undoubtedly great, comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and other ancient emperors......

When he died young, he left too many thoughts.

A country cannot be without a king for a day!

The day of Li Longji's funeral was the time when Li Yan ascended the throne.

The death knell also rings at this time.

The death knell shook Chang'an.

Li Longji's illness has pulled the hearts of many people in the world, and as soon as this death knell sounded, the people of Chang'an cried with regret.

In the hearts of the people, Li Longji is also a good emperor.

Compared with the Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong periods, the prosperous era of Kaiyuan created by Li Longji is undoubtedly a symbol of happiness.

When Pei Min returned to the mansion, it was already early in the morning.

The whole of Chang'an was immersed in grief, whether it was officials or ordinary people, they were all remembering the young and excellent emperor.

Pei Min comforted himself many times that Li Longji's ending today is much better than Tang Xuanzong, who was under house arrest for Li Heng in history, alone, alone, inseparable, and finally died in desolation.

But he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have died so early.

The butterfly effect caused by his own appearance is really unguardable.

It's just the butterfly effect, can it really shorten people's life span by 30 years?
