Chapter 545: The Fall of Empress Changsun
Empress Changsun is critically ill, and the person who is the most sad is actually the crown prince Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian may have such and such problems, but for the eldest grandson, he is really filial.
In the past few days when Empress Changsun was seriously ill, Li Chengqian has been waiting by his side without undressing.
On this day, when Empress Changsun was sober, Li Chengqian couldn't help but say to Empress Changsun: "The queen mother has used a lot of medicine, but her condition has not improved, so we can only think of other ways." ”
"The sons will beg their father to grant amnesty to the world and pray for the blessing of the queen mother. The second way is to let more people believe in Buddhism, get rid of the disaster of the queen mother, and let the gods bless the queen mother to recover as soon as possible. ”
In the case that the decoction did not work, the crown prince Li Chengqian was already ill and rushed to the hospital.
However, in ancient times, it was a normal reaction to pay attention to this.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Empress Eldest Sun asked the prince to help her up and sit on the pillow.
Zhengse said to Li Chengqian: "Prince, the so-called life and death are rich and noble, I have accumulated virtue and done good deeds in my life, and I have done many good deeds, but I have never done evil things. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is your own karma, and how can the good deeds done by others be added to the queen mother? ”
"Besides, amnesty is a matter of national affairs and cannot be used lightly, so how can it be used on me? Whether it is a Buddha or a Tao, it is just a kind of belief of people. Your father has never relied on these things, so how can he force your father to do what he is not willing to do because of me? ”
"So, don't mention these things again in the future, let alone say to your father, Prince, do you understand?"
The crown prince Li Chengqian said with tears in his eyes: "Queen Mother, the sons obey orders. ”
Li Chengqian is a filial son, and since he promised the eldest grandson, he himself can no longer ask Li Shimin to do these things.
But the prince wants to do something for the queen mother so much that he can't wait to replace him.
So, the prince found Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was moved by the prince's filial piety, so he told the prince's request to Tang Emperor Li Shimin in its original form.
Li Shimin and the ministers, after hearing this, were all moved by the prince's filial piety.
As a result, the ministers began to persuade each other to persuade Li Shimin to grant amnesty to the world and pray for the queen.
And when Empress Changsun learned about this, she couldn't help but say to Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, whether it is amnesty to the world or persuading people to go to the Buddha, it is just self-comfort, in fact, it is useless."
"Doing this will only make the people think that the emperor can break any regulations for his concubines, wouldn't it delay the major affairs of the state?"
"If the emperor really does that, the concubine only wants to die quickly!"
Hearing the queen's words, Li Shimin had to give up with tears in his eyes.
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
Before dying, Empress Changsun showed a spirit of high grace and sacrifice.
Because Empress Changsun was seriously ill, Li Shimin was also in a very bad mood.
And Fang Xuanling was reprimanded by Li Shimin because of his disagreement with Li Shimin, so he was reprimanded by Li Shimin and went home.
Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin again: "Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling is loyal to the emperor, careful and cautious, he and the emperor have planned many things, but they have never leaked it to others,"
"Such hard-working and capable talents, the emperor has to continue to reuse! And the concubines climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and the glory and wealth have reached the peak. The concubine's mother's family, the Sun family, has no merit or virtue, and if they occupy a high position, I am afraid that the ministers will not be convinced. ”
"After the concubines die, I am afraid that they will be in danger, and the concubines implore the emperor to give them only some loose officials who serve the court, and ask the emperor for tens of millions of favors."
Sick like this, Empress Eldest Sun is still admonishing herself, thinking about state affairs.
Li Shimin couldn't help but respect, love and pain, and tearfully agreed.
Empress Changsun's condition is getting heavier and heavier, and her body is getting worse day by day.
Later, she was in a coma for longer than she was awake.
In the last period of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin also reduced the early dynasty and accompanied Empress Changsun as much as possible.
On this day, Empress Changsun sobered up for a moment, couldn't help holding Li Shimin's hand, and said with difficulty: "Don't be so sad, don't be so sad, after the concubine dies, don't spend a lot of money for the funeral of the concubine." ”
"It's good to use the simplest coffins, burial items, some wood and pottery. The emperor knew that the concubines didn't like gold and silver utensils in the first place. If the emperor can do what the concubine says, it will be the best commemoration of the concubine. ”
"I hope that the emperor can reuse loyal ministers like Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, adopt their advice, and open up the way of speech. Do not listen to slander, do not reuse traitors, and reduce the levy of conscription and military service. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people will be safe, so that the concubines will be blind to death! ”
Hearing the words of Empress Eldest Sun, Li Shimin burst into tears.
And after saying this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but fall into a coma again.
"Imperial Doctor, pass on Imperial Doctor!"
……
In Yizhou, Li Su called Shangguanyi and carefully advised.
Then Li Su took Li Yuanfang, Sun Simiao, and fifty soldiers of the Huya Special Combat Team to step on the train and go to Chang'an.
Originally, as the prince in the fiefdom, he could not leave the fiefdom and return to Beijing without being summoned by the emperor.
But this time, it was Li Shimin who took the initiative to summon Li Su back to Beijing.
Because Empress Changsun has not woken up since she was in a coma last time.
The imperial doctors were helpless about this, Li Shimin remembered Li Su, and Sun Simiao of Yizhou People's Hospital, so he summoned them to Chang'an to treat Empress Changsun.
It took half a day for Li Su to come to Chang'an City, and then went straight to the imperial city.
After entering the palace, he was soon invited into the palace where the queen lived.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"The grass people have seen the emperor."
After seeing Li Shimin, Sun Simiao and Li Su hurriedly saluted Li Shimin.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Doctor Sun, Child, no need to be polite, you go and treat the queen!" I want you to get the queen back. ”
In the bedroom, there were many people in the house, and several palace maids were waiting by the queen's side.
Concubine Yang and several other concubines were also on the side.
The crown prince Li Chengqian, the fourth prince Li Tai, and Li Zhi are also on the side.
At this time, Empress Eldest Sun's face was like paper, her face was bloodless, and she no longer looked like a living person.
The people in the house saw Sun Simiao and Li Su coming in, and hurriedly got out of the way.
Concubine Yang also saw Li Su, and her face couldn't help but show joy.
Li Su hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Concubine Yang grabbed Li Su's hand, and tears couldn't help falling from the corners of her eyes.
Li Su patted Concubine Yang's hand, in this scene, it was not good to say much.
And the crown prince Li Chengqian, when he saw Sun Simiao, stood up, grabbed Sun Simiao's shoulder, and pleaded: "Doctor Sun, please, please save the queen mother." ”
Sun Simiao hurriedly said: "Prince, please rest assured, the grass people will do their best." ”
Sun Simiao began to diagnose the eldest grandson, and after a while, he got up and said gloomily: "The queen has run out of oil, and it will only take a few days to prepare for the future!" ”
This diagnosis, in fact, was already said by the doctor before.
However, because Sun Simiao's medical skills are too famous, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wei, Li Tai and others, still have a trace of fantasy in their hearts, hoping that Doctor Sun can save the queen.
But now, this last vestiges of illusion are now shattered.
However, at this time, Sun Simiao turned around and said to Li Su: "Your Highness, why don't you come to diagnose it too, maybe you don't know if you have a way." ”
In the entire Tang Dynasty, if there is anyone whose medical skills can be more clever than Sun Simiao, it is estimated that only Li Su is the only one.
Of course, this cleverness does not mean that Li Su's diagnosis is more accurate than Sun Simiao's, not that his methods are more clever than Sun Simiao's.
Rather, it is said that in Sun Simiao's diagnosis of incorrigible diseases for patients, it is estimated that in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that only Li Su, the king of Shu, can save people.
Faced with this situation of the queen, Li Su had no better way.
However, the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Tai, the king of Wei, regarded Li Su as the last straw.
Li Chengqian walked to Li Su's side in a few steps, grabbed Li Su's hand tightly, and pleaded: "Sixth brother, please, please save your mother." ”
Li Tai was also beside him, echoing casually.
Li Su patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, and then said to him: "Prince, please rest assured, this is also my mother, I will definitely do my best." ”
Next, Li Su pretended to diagnose Empress Changsun.
Of course, secretly, Li Su used the system to make a diagnosis.
The conclusion of the system diagnosis is that the eldest grandson queen has run out of oil and is hopeless.
However, at this time, if you inject brain protein, you can still make the eldest grandson queen awake for a while, and there will probably be a day or two.
After seeing this diagnosis, Li Su pretended to rummage through Sun Simiao's medicine box for a while, and then took out an injection needle and a brain protein.
Next to him, Sun Simiao's eyes widened.
Hey? It's weird.
I don't have a syringe or that kind of medicine in my medicine box?
When did His Highness put it in?
Li Su ignored Sun Simiao's shock, but used a needle to absorb brain proteins into the needle, and then expelled the air inside.
Below, Li Su asked the palace maid to roll up the sleeves of the eldest grandson empress, revealing her arms.
Then Li Su injected brain protein into the body of Empress Changsun.
After seeing Li Su do all this, the crown prince Li Chengqian suddenly asked nervously: "Sixth brother, can you save the queen mother?" ”
Li Su said helplessly: "Prince, I don't know if it works, try it, but don't have too much hope." ”
Then, the crowd began to wait uneasily.
Half an hour later, the eldest grandson queen who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved her little finger.
A little palace maid said in surprise: "It's moving, the queen moved just now!" ”
The words of the little palace maid attracted everyone's attention.
looked closely, and sure enough, there was a movement on the queen's fingers.
The queen's eyelids were also trembling slightly.
After a while, Empress Changsun actually opened her eyes slowly.
"Wake up, wake up, the queen is awake!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really a miracle doctor! Brought the queen back to life! ”
"It's great, it's really good, the queen has been rescued."
Hearing the exclamations inside, Li Shimin couldn't help but stride in, and then found that the queen had really woken up.
Li Shimin walked to the bed, held the queen's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Guanyin, you are really awake, great!" That's great! ”
Empress Eldest Sun had just woken up, her expression was still a little dazed, and she asked after a while, "Your Majesty, who rescued the concubine?" ”
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "It's Su'er, just now Su'er gave you an injection, and you came to your senses." Don't worry, you'll be fine. ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, then you have to reward your son." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely reward him." ”
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, is it okay for the concubine to say a few words to Su'er?" ”
Li Shimin was still stunned, but immediately nodded and said, "Okay, but you are weak, don't talk too long." ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded.
Then Li Shimin said to everyone in the house: "You all go out, and you can stay." ”
Soon, everyone in the house retreated, even Li Shimin retreated, and there were only two people left in the house, Empress Changsun and Li Su.
Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Su and couldn't help but whisper: "Su'er, thank you very much." ”
Li Su stood in front of the bed and said with a slight smile: "Queen Mother, this is what sons should do, why should the queen mother say thank you?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun asked again, "Su'er, how long do I have left?" ”
Hearing the words of Empress Eldest Sun, Li Su's face couldn't help but stiffen, and he quickly said: "Queen, don't think nonsense, your body will get better soon." ”
Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said, "Su'er, don't lie to me, my body knows it in my heart." I probably won't last long, right? Will it survive today? ”
Li Su smiled and said, "It doesn't matter today, but tomorrow, it's fine." ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded and said, "I know, thank you for giving me a day." Sully Wen Taowu strategy, for the Tang Dynasty has made immortal contributions, and the emperor often mentions you in front of me. ”
"However, Yizhou is still far away from Chang'an, and your mother often misses you. Why don't I suggest to the emperor that your fiefdom be changed to be near Chang'an, so that you can often come back to visit your mother, I don't know what you think? ”
Hearing the words of Empress Changsun, Li Su couldn't help but say happily: "Okay, the minister there thanked the queen mother for her kindness first. ”
When Li Su spoke, Empress Changsun stared at Li Su tightly, but she didn't see the slightest flaw on his face.
Empress Changsun nodded slightly, and then said to Li Su: "Okay, Su'er, you go down first, call the emperor in, I have a few words to say to the emperor." ”
Li Su nodded, and then said: "Take care of the queen mother, and the sons will retire." ”
After Li Su walked out, the eldest grandson's face showed a dignified look.
I have to say that Li Su, the king of Shu, is really good.
is so good that whether it is the crown prince or the king of Wei, compared with him, it seems too mediocre.
The excellence of the King of Shu has seriously threatened the status of the crown prince.
Empress Changsun's words just now were a temptation for him.
Empress Changsun wants to see if the King of Shu has any ambitions.
She believed that with her eyesight, when she heard what she had just said, as long as he was ambitious, he would definitely show his flaws.
But just now, she didn't see the slightest flaw on King Shu's face.
This can only show that the king of Shu either does not have the slightest ambition, or he is not afraid of this situation at all.
So, what exactly is the situation?
Such a proposal, Empress Changsun naturally would not mention it to the emperor.
Mobilizing the King of Shu is a big matter, and it is not something that she, the queen, should mention.
But what should the prince do?
If he is here, nothing will happen to the prince.
But after he leaves, will anything really happen to the prince?
……
Li Su walked out of the room, and Li Shimin couldn't help but ask nervously and whispered: "Su'er, the queen, has she really been cured by you?" ”
Next to him, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi also looked at Li Su nervously.
Li Su shook his head helplessly and said: "Father, the queen mother has reached the point where the oil has run out, and my needle can only last for a day or two." ”
Hearing Li Su's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi showed even more despair on their faces.
If even the King of Shu can't cure it, then no one in the entire Tang Dynasty will be able to save the queen.
Li Su couldn't help but say to Li Shimin: "Father, the queen mother, I have something to say to you." ”
Li Shimin nodded and walked into the inner room.
And Li Su quietly left and came to the Hanxiang Palace.
What the queen mentioned to him today is to change his fief to the vicinity of Chang'an, what is the purpose?
Are you testing yourself? Or do you really want to do it?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Su felt that it was unlikely that Empress Eldest Sun would do this.
The most important point is that even if Empress Changsun proposes it, the emperor will probably not follow her advice.
And even if the emperor really wanted to change his fiefdom, Li Su would not leave easily.
This is the reason why when Empress Changsun said this, Li Su's face was unmoved.
After operating in Yizhou for a few years, the minimum self-protection ability is still there.
……
For a whole day, Empress Changsun was in good spirits.
The mind is also able to sit up on its own.
But everyone knows that the queen is already back to the light, but I'm afraid she won't be able to survive tomorrow.
In the end, Empress Changsun did not mention to Li Shimin that she wanted to transfer the King of Shu from Yizhou.
Empress Changsun also called Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi to her side, so that they could love each other and help each other.
The three brothers all agreed with tears.
In the end, Empress Changsun found her brother Changsun Wuji and talked to him alone for a long time.
"Brother, after I go, the prince, Qingque and Zhi'er will be entrusted to you."
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Although the queen can rest assured, the old minister will definitely take care of them." ”
After a moment of silence, Empress Changsun said, "Brother, be careful of King Shu." ”
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson queen, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "Although the queen can rest assured, if the king of Shu will really threaten the prince, the old minister will naturally preside over justice, support the society, and eradicate the young people!" ”
After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson queen was relieved.
On the second day, Empress Changsun fell into a coma and never woke up again.
The eldest grandson, the queen.
After the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin complied with Empress Changsun's wishes.
Her funeral, everything is simple.
All the princes and county kings in the fiefdom do not need to go back to Beijing to mourn.
The reason for the eldest grandson empress is naturally to save expenses for the imperial court.
Because the prince travels, he has to take a large number of retinues with him.
With so many people traveling all the way to Beijing, it takes a lot of money.
And Li Shimin also adopted the last wish of the eldest grandson queen.
But even in the people, when the mother dies, the children have to mourn.
If you don't come back, you'll definitely be ridiculed by others.
In order to avoid being infamy, Li Shimin deliberately let those princes who did not return to Beijing to mourn be sacrificed in the fiefdom.
Because of this, when he returned to Beijing this time, Li Su did not see his brother Li Ke.
After the queen's funeral, Li Su went to the Weiguo Mansion and took the princess Qin Mengxin back.
It turned out that the red whisk girl was just occasionally sentimental about typhoid fever, and she had recovered during this time.
Now that the queen's funeral has passed, she has taken back the princess.
Li Su didn't want to stay in Chang'an for a long time, so he took the princess and returned to Yizhou.
A few days after coming back, Wu Meiniang came to find Li Su.
"Your Highness, this year's rubber harvest has been abundant, and the output is probably not a hundred times that of last year. We must produce more bicycles this year, and many customers have to order bicycles! However, they didn't know about this year's production and didn't dare to promise them. ”
Now bicycles are still a luxury.
At the same time, it is also the first choice for those nobles and gentlemen to go out.
Going out and riding a bicycle has a lot of face, and even picking up girls can be much easier.
There are many beauties, and they are also proud of their own bicycles.
Being able to sit in the saddle of a bicycle and greet people is very nice.
Because of last year's rubber production, the production of bicycles is not very large.
And last year, as soon as the bike was launched, it caused a sensation and was coaxed.
However, because of the production volume, the bicycle was sold out not long after it was launched.
Nowadays, second-hand bicycles are sold twice as much as first-hand bicycles.
There are also countless gentlemen, anxiously waiting for bicycles to support their faces, but they are in a state where money can't buy them.
There is still a big gap in the bicycle market.
Even if this year's production volume is 100 times that of last year, it will definitely not worry about selling.
Because now it's not just Datang, even the gentlemen of other countries want to buy a bicycle after seeing it.
Bicycles, on the other hand, are definitely a profiteering industry.
Its profit is more than 100 times!
Therefore, when the rubber was picked this year and sent to Yizhou.
Wu Meiniang, the president of China Commercial Bank, couldn't wait to find King Shu and asked King Shu to produce bicycles as soon as possible.
With the bicycle, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money this year.
However, when Li Su heard Wu Meiniang's request, he shook his head.
"Mei Niang, today's rubber can only be used to produce bicycles."
Wu Meiniang asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, what is the other half for?" ”
