Chapter 411: Xiang Xiaoyu died

Since the imperial doctor concluded that Empress Changsun would die soon, Li Shimin would spend a lot of time with Empress Changsun every day.

So when Li Tai presented the first two volumes of "The Chronicles of the Universe", Li Shimin also happened to be present.

"Father, Emperor, Mother, this book is compiled by the people in the following library of the Son's Minister's Mansion, and it took four years to compile! Printed today, please take a look at the father and queen mother! Li Tai held two books in both hands and respectfully presented them in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face, took the two books, handed one to the eldest grandson queen who was sitting on the bed, and opened the other one himself.

Whether it is Li Shimin or the eldest grandson queen, they are all born in a family, they have been reading and writing since childhood, although their knowledge is not as good as that of Kong Yingda, but they can also be regarded as knowledgeable people, so there is no obstacle when they look at this "Chronicles of the Universe".

"Okay, the outline of the "Chronicles of the Universe" is clear and all-encompassing, and it counts the history of the construction of various states and counties under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, as well as mountains, rivers, products, historic sites, customs, people, stories, etc., and it is a great classic!" Li Shimin took a detailed look at the catalog, hastily flipped through a few pages, and exclaimed loudly as he flipped it.

Empress Eldest Sun also said softly: "Qingque, your book is indeed well compiled!" It's really rare to make such achievements now. But the queen mother still hopes that you can guard against arrogance and rashness, and study well! ”

Li Tai bowed and said to the eldest grandson queen: "Erchen remember the teachings of the queen mother!" ”

After Li Tai walked out of the palace gate, Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson queen and said: "Guanyin, you see how competitive the green finch is, it took four years to compile such a book!" And as soon as it is printed, it will be shown to you and me, which shows that this child is full of filial piety! ”

I saw that Li Shimin has a very obvious affection for Li Tai! Seeing this, the ailing Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but have a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Not long after Li Tai presented the book, Empress Changsun summoned her brother Changsun Wuji and told her carefully before the bed. Of course, no one stood next to them when their brother and sister spoke, and no one knew what Empress Eldest Sun said to her brother.

But what everyone knows is that when the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the palace, his face was as heavy as water, and there were bursts of grief in his eyes.

In winter, the snow is thick, and when the snow melts, it gets even colder.

It was on a night when the snow was quietly melting that Empress Changsun finally did not survive the declining body and passed away suddenly.

Before she died, Empress Changsun leaned on the head of the bed and quietly listened to the sounds outside.

"Erlang, what's the sound outside? It's ticking, it's like a drop of water! Empress Eldest Sun's voice sounded a little choppy. When he said this, he almost squinted.

"That's the sound of melting snow!" Li Shimin wrapped one arm around Empress Changsun and muttered in his mouth, but in his mind, he gradually recalled the picture of them meeting and getting married, and supporting each other for decades. Thinking about it, my eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

"Melting snow? Hehe, Erlang, what's after the snow melts? Empress Changsun half-opened her eyes, her black pupils revealed a blurry color, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she wanted to squeeze out a smile, but she couldn't do it at all, knowing that her lips moved.

Li Shimin was immediately stunned for a moment, and looked at the eldest grandson queen in his arms: "After the snow melts, of course it will be water!" ”

"Huh!" Empress Changsun's voice was thick with exhaustion, "Yu'er told me that after the snow melts, it will be spring!" Spring, but I can't see it! ”

Speaking of this, Empress Eldest Sun coughed violently. It's a pity that the coughing sound is still so faint in Li Shimin's ears.

"Doctor! Doctor! Li Shimin saw the eldest grandson queen coughing, and immediately yelled outside the door.

The two white-bearded old doctors hurriedly came in, and when they were about to take the pulse of Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun said softly: "You don't need to see this palace, you can go down!" ”

When the two imperial doctors heard this, they were stunned and looked at Li Shimin at a loss.

With a long sigh, Li Shimin waved his hand and let the two imperial doctors go out first. When the two imperial doctors just walked to the gate, Li Shimin suddenly said, "You guys just stay outside, and when I call you later, you must come in as soon as possible!" ”

The two hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen takes the order!" ”

Two or two imperial doctors stayed outside in the side hall. The fire in the side hall was blazing, warm as spring. However, these two imperial doctors did not dare to sleep, their eyes were wide open, and they were ready to respond to Li Shimin's call at any time.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, Li Shimin's anxious roar came from the room: "Imperial Doctor! ”

On the second day, Li Shimin did not appear at the court meeting, but a chamberlain announced the death of Empress Changsun. Even though they had been prepared in their hearts, the ministers above the court were still in an uproar.

Looking around, the place where several important ministers and princes should have stood is still empty, I am afraid that they have already received the news, and they did not come to the court meeting at all, but went directly to the palace.

The palace gate slowly opened, and a cold wind blew into the main hall.

On a gorgeous bed, white yarn flutters in the spring breeze. In the great hall, there was nothing but this bed.

Gusts of spring breeze whistled in the temple, hovering endlessly.

An inexplicable coolness rose in the hall.

Overnight, Li Shimin seemed to be a few years older, and there were a few wrinkles on his forehead.

Empress Changsun lay peacefully on the bed, with clusters of flowers on all sides.

Zhang Yunwen and the eldest grandson Wuji and other relatives stood in the corner of the main hall, looking at the silk yarn fluttering in the wind.

Not far from Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian and the princes and princesses all knelt on the floor with sad faces. The princesses were all sobbing lowly. As for Li Chengqian, he looked at the bed in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The rest of the concubines in the harem stood in the other corner of the palace, all hanging their heads, making it difficult to see their eyes.

In the main hall, the atmosphere is solemn and depressing.

Early this morning, the sky was still not yet bright, and the cold wind was still howling outside the yellow. Zhang Yunwen's door was knocked on non-stop.

The porter got up with a yawn and asked impatiently, "Who?" Before dawn, there was a knock on the door! ”

The person who came said anxiously in a sharp voice: "The villain is from the palace!" I bothered to inform Zhang Jungong that there was a big event in the palace, and let him and the princess enter the palace immediately! ”

As soon as the porter heard the words "from the palace", his heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly knocked on the window of the maid in the inner courtyard.

Mei Xiang, who received the news, did not dare to slack off, and immediately conveyed the matter to the sleepy-eyed Zhang Yunwen. As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Yunwen immediately thought of Empress Changsun in his heart. At this time, Li Shimin called someone to call himself and Li Yu, I am afraid that something happened to the eldest grandson queen.

didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, got up from Zhirou's bed, called Li Yu up again, the two of them washed up, and immediately went to the palace by car.

At the same time, the gate of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu and others was also wide open, and the carriages galloped away in the direction of the palace.
