Chapter 51: To Go or Not to Go

His Majesty is critically ill and will enter Beijing quickly!

The simple eight words made Pei Min's heart skip a beat.

Pei Min took this urgent edict of the golden paint fire seal, and thought of a variety of possibilities in his head. I even thought about a rebel army emerging from a mountain and approaching the city.

I never thought that Li Longji was critically ill.

For the emperor, birth, old age, sickness and death were taboos.

If it weren't for the critical time, it would be impossible to send such a taboo urgent edict.

"How is that possible?"

Pei Min knows the trend of history very well, Li Longji is definitely the longest-lived one among the emperors, and at the age of sixty, he is still with Yang Yuhuan.

In his later years, he was under house arrest for his son Suzong, depressed and unhappy, and he lived to the age of seventy-eight and died of illness in the Dragon Temple.

Now Li Longji is not yet fifty years old, and he is not more than half a hundred years old, how can he be critically ill?

"I ......" Pei Min was about to give an order to enter Beijing immediately, when his heart jumped inexplicably, and he sat down on the side with a hurry to grasp the edict in his hand.

This urgent edict is in Gao Lishi's handwriting, and it is also stamped with Li Longji's vermilion lacquer seal, which is absolutely unfake.

Li Longji became famous, he was slack, and he was tempted by Wang Ji and Yang Jieyu, and he was a little addicted to pleasure, but he definitely did not degenerate to the point of the princes of the Beacon Opera.

In other words, Li Longji is now terminally ill and may die anytime and anywhere.

Pei Min suddenly found that he had a certain fear of Chang'an......

Once a son of heaven and a courtier!

He now holds the soldiers and horses of the four towns, and his military achievements are brilliant and prestigious.

Along the way, what he relied on was Li Longji's wonderful imperial character, and if he was another emperor, even if it was an emperor like Li Shimin, Liu Xiu, and Zhao Kuangyin, who did not kill heroes, he would not tolerate his existence.

Once Li Longji really dies of illness and the new emperor ascends the throne, his position will be embarrassing.

Li Longji never cultivated his son, and the prince had no sense of existence, just like an ornament in the temple.

The prestige and connections he has accumulated over the years are enough to shake off the current prince Li Yan's ten streets, and he will go to Chang'an, in case he really encounters Li Longji's death and the Tang Dynasty changes hands, can he really return to Liangzhou safely?

In other words, Pei Min was more than ten years ago, and he broke into Chang'an alone, which was naturally free and easy. But now he has sons and daughters, and wives, and these people are his pillars and fatal weaknesses.

Pei Min knows very well in his heart that his connections are not weak, but there are more enemies, just because he is in power, no one dares to provoke him, once he falls, all kinds of cats and dogs will definitely flock to the top and fall into the ground.

I fell, mother, two ladies, and Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, and Pei Sanlang, how could they have a good life?

Over the years, he has handled many things impartially, offending many villains, especially many psychopathic eunuchs.

They have no moral integrity......

Thinking about it carefully, Pei Min broke out in a cold sweat.

But thinking about the bits and pieces of getting along with Li Longji over the years, Li Longji may have many problems, competitive, belligerent, conceited, and using people as relatives, but he has nothing to say to himself.

Without Li Longji's unconditional trust, how could he be a person with no family background to achieve today's status?

"If there really is that day, I and Jingyuan will share the glory."

"I have a quiet and distant border, guarding the temple, the world is small and foreign, who dares to be presumptuous! I am in Chang'an, sit back and relax. ”

"What about Arabia? I take you as the commander, lead my Tang Dynasty army to the west, step on Damascus, push my Tang territory to the extreme Black Sea, and make my territory more than in the Gaozong period in the past. ”

……

Li Longji's words were like thunder and deafening.

Pei Min Huo Ran got up, not to mention that Li Longji is not dead, even if Li Longji has died, this Chang'an himself has to go.

is not only the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, but also the promotion of kindness along the way.

As a later generation, Pei Min did not have the foolish loyalty of the monarch who wanted the minister to die, and the minister immediately wiped his neck and committed suicide.

But he has the most basic sense of gratitude as a human being.

Li Longji's support all the way, all the way to the blessing, these are all kindnesses, Pei Min dare not forget.

It is reasonable to say that I should go to see the last face......

Pei Min did not leave immediately, but wrote a letter to Wang Zhonghe, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, and Fugu Huaien respectively, and called Yuan Luqian and Li Linfu to the nearest place, and showed them the urgent edict secret letter.

Yuan Luqian and Li Linfu's expressions changed greatly, and they all exclaimed in unison: "Your Majesty is critically ill? ”

Yuan Luqian was shocked, he couldn't believe it, and he felt like the sky was falling.

At this moment, in Yuan Luqian's heart, Li Longji is an excellent king, an emperor who can be compared with Li Shimin.

And so it is:

Li Shimin rose in the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's victory in the world, ranking first in military merit. Although the change of Xuanwumen left an indelible stain, but after he ascended the throne, he made great efforts, and there was a miraculous Zhenguan rule inside, and the external extermination of the Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, the recovery of Liaodong, the breaking of the Western Turks, and the reopening of the Silk Road, the civil and military achievements are remarkable.

And how can Li Longji be inferior?

He also rose to prominence in times of crisis, first exterminating the Wei family, Zong Chuke, and the remnants of the Wu family, and then pacifying the Taiping dictatorship. Then the internal use of virtuous ministers created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan. Because standing on the shoulders of giants, the economy of the Kaiyuan era is better than that of the Zhenguan period.

Externally appointed generals such as Xue Ne, Pei Min, Zhang Shouqi, and Yang Siqiao, fought in the south and the north, recovered the lost land of Jiuqu in Hexi, lost the land in Liaodong, defeated the Tubo many times, destroyed the Turks, defeated the remnants of the Turks, and restored the Anbei Protectorate, regaining control of the jurisdiction over the land north of the Great Wall.

Silla, Baekje, Japan, Limgeup (present-day Vietnam), Nibhara (present-day Nepal), Pyu Kingdom (present-day Burma), Chitu (present-day Thailand), Chenla (present-day Cambodia), Sri Buddha (present-day Sumatra, Indonesia), Haling (present-day Java, Indonesia), Cheonzhu (present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Lion Kingdom (present-day Sri Lanka), Daeshi (present-day Arabia), Persia, Byzantium and other countries entered the Hajj, recreating the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Li Longji's achievements in the first half of his life, whether it is now or in history, are not inferior to Li Shimin at all, and some people even feel that according to the development of the Tang Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before Li Longji surpasses Li Shimin and becomes the most outstanding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a virtuous monarch and holy lord is actually critically ill, and a loyal and patriotic virtuous person like Yuan Luqian can't accept it for a while, and his eyes are a little red.

Li Linfu was full of thoughts about the changes derived from Li Longji's death and his own vested interests.

Such a major event will bring about great changes in the world, and their own interests will also be greatly affected.

"Pei Shuai!"

Suddenly!

Li Linfu Huo Ran got up, bowed heavily and said, "At this moment, Pei Shuai must not enter Beijing. When you enter Beijing at this time, you will be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and you will become steamed pork on a knife board. Pei Shuai should be shocked to hear the bad news, grief-stricken, and can't afford to get sick. ”
