Chapter 688: Li Shimin arranges the aftermath
Before Li Chengqian arrived in Chang'an, a boat approached the river under a flag. When they learned that Li Shimin had woken up, the couple was sincerely happy.
But the person who came brought the eldest grandson's edict, and ordered the husband and wife to enter the palace quickly, Li Shimin didn't know if he would get sick again, and the prince had to stay in the palace in this case.
When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin, who was still majestic but had a red face, tears flowed down his eyes.
When the father and son sat on the steps that year and discussed how to divide up those states, his father was so majestic, tall and strong, at that time, he wanted to bring the world under the rule of the Tang Dynasty!
"Father, father, you have to get well quickly. That year, you said that you wanted to conquer the world and let your sons be a king, but you can't talk and don't count. ”
Li Chengqian knelt down and walked to Li Shimin, tears covering his entire face. The minister couldn't bear to turn his head, he couldn't get tired of watching the scene of father's kindness and filial piety for the rest of his life, but how different is the time from life and death?
"My father is old, and the world has not been completely defeated, so my father's wish will be fulfilled by you. Get up, wipe away your tears, what is the dignified prince crying like this? ”
Li Shimin said weakly, but there was unprecedented love in his tone, and when he wiped the tears on Li Chengqian's face with his fingers, Li Chengqian found that his father's hands were no longer warm, and they were as cold as the winter wind blowing on his face.
"Taking advantage of today's gathering, I will first say that if I return to heaven, the crown prince Li Chengqian will inherit the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Zheng will be the auxiliary minister, and the civil and military officials will help each other, so that my Li family will continue to be in the country, can you wait clearly?"
Li Shimin said a word and gasped three times, if Cai Cong was here, he could detect that some of Li Shimin's blood vessels had burst.
"Your Ministers obey!"
The ministers hurriedly said that the emperor made an edict first, which is a great thing for the dynasty, but the relationship between the monarch and the minister for many years has made everyone have relatives, and the emperor is going to do it!
"The son doesn't agree, why did my father say such ominous things in the spring and autumn period?"
Li Chengqian stalked and choked with his neck, and the eldest grandson went up and slapped him in the face. Looking at the eldest grandson with red eyes, Li Chengqian was stunned, his mother actually beat her!
"This slap is to wake you up, what's the trouble at this time? At such an important time, the overall situation should be taken into account, did that night live up to the hard work of the father and emperor for so many years? ”
The eldest grandson reprimanded him severely, Li Chengqian slowly knelt down, closed his eyes and said painfully, "Erchen obeys the order!" ”
Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction, but no one could see the fear under his nose. He is looking forward to immortality, but how ethereal is immortality, how can he not know?
When he learned that Li Chengqian was assassinated and poisoned, he only felt that there was no hope in this life, but Li Chengqian was raised by him with all his life's painstaking efforts!
While he was thinking about Li Chengqian's succession to his throne, he was also thinking about when the Kunlun Dao people would be able to refine this elixir, he already felt that his time was running out, and he had to give it a try no matter what.
"These days, there are too many large and small government affairs, and I am not in good health, so the prince will take charge of the government, and all government affairs will be decided by the prince, so there is no need to come to ask me. Go down, all of you. I need to get some rest. ”
Li Shimin said tiredly, the eldest grandson wanted to stay and take care of him, but Li Shimin waved her firmly and asked her to leave too.
The eldest grandson had no choice but to leave, and not long after that, he walked into Li Shimin's bedroom.
"What did you find?"
Li Shimin leaned on the head of the bed, his sluggish eyes instantly became bright, and he glanced sharply at Yi's body,
"The assassination of the prince was not done by Cai Cong, after the death of Luoyang officials, rumors spread in Luoyang, saying that Cai Cong was angry for Meng Baolai, but the minister got the news, Cai Cong was worried that the prince's family was afraid of being liquidated, and now he went to Chang'an alone.
Most of the dead officials in Luoyang were implicated, some people were extinguished, and the minister secretly investigated and found that Hou Junji was the most suspicious of Hou He, and the minister tortured and learned that Hou He had sent people to spread rumors in the army many times, and finally the assassination of the prince happened. And Hou He was also killed afterwards, and the clue was broken here, and the minister was incapable of finding out who was behind the scenes, and the minister asked for the crime. ”
As soon as he said that he would fight to the end, he arrested all the officials' family members, and even some people, and forced them to interrogate, and finally found out Hou He, but he couldn't investigate Hou He anymore when he was dead.
"It's okay, don't let go of this matter, continue to investigate! Let's start with Hou Junji. If I die, you will obey the prince's orders, and you must find out the truth, otherwise the poisonous snake in the dark will not know when to come out and bite the prince to death. ”
Li Shimin said solemnly, the Son of Heaven collapsed and the demons moved, isn't he about to collapse now?
"How is the Kunlun Dao people checking over there?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a strange light, he was really afraid that this person was a person with no talent and no virtue, and it was nothing to cheat some money, but if the hope of immortality was dashed, then he would really have little time.
"Kunlun Dao people get rare things after they start alchemy, there are often strange fragrances in the Dan room, and the people who monitor them report that they are all over the body, compared to that it is a terrible thing."
Speaking of facts, he himself does not believe in the theory of immortality, because the person closest to the immortal in his heart has no immortality.
"That's fine, send someone to keep an eye on it, don't let him escape with the pill when he is Dancheng." Li Shimin said happily, smelling the whole body Shutai, isn't this a miracle medicine?
A little bit of the head back to the flower said that more people have been dispatched, and he will not let him slip away.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, took out a holy decree from his bosom and said, "If I am mourned, after the crown prince ascends the throne, then read this edict." ”
"Obey the order!"
Yi respectfully raised his hands above his head to take the holy decree and carefully put it into his arms.
"Cai Cong is coming back, you send someone to keep an eye on it, if he doesn't make trouble, he will go, if he has any bad behavior, he will kill him and prevent future trouble. I wanted to see him, but if I think about what I look like now, I don't want to make him laugh. ”
Li Shimin smiled lonely as he spoke, once upon a time he regarded the heroes of the world as nothing, but now the sickbed is empty.
After leaving, Li Shimin held on to his spirit and privately summoned a few people and made various arrangements. The emperor is the most suspicious, he can't even trust the loyal Cai Cong, let alone this knife, multiple subordinates hidden in the shadows check and balance each other, so that he can reduce the possibility of accidents.
When everything was arranged, Li Shimin fell asleep with relief, he was already so sleepy that he couldn't do it, and he relied on one breath to support him.
