In the dormitory, an old man who was about to die slowly narrated and explained the aftermath for himself. It seems that life and death are just a trivial matter for him, just like eating and sleeping, and he doesn't take it to heart, talking about how to bury him after death, what is the etiquette, and he feels very bland, and there is no fear of death at all.

But on the contrary, many of these people standing in front of him were almost out of breath crying.

Li Zhi, in particular, interrupted Li Shimin's speech more than once, crying and begging Li Shimin not to continue speaking.

In the past, Li Shimin would inevitably be dissatisfied with Li Zhi, but today he is indeed full of loving tone, patiently teaching Li Zhi to be strong and how to get along with these old ministers in the future.

Although Li Shimin had convened the ministers a few days ago to give instructions on the testament, this time it was obviously much more formal, the crown prince Li Zhi was present, and there were historians who officially recorded every word Li Shimin said, which will be included in the testament in the future and recorded in the book. And all the people mourned.

Li Shimin talked in detail with the ministers until the evening, because he was tired, he finally waved off the ministers and fell into a deep sleep.

Linchuan and Gao Yang, who were waiting outside, also failed to see their father as they wished. They decided to stay in the palace and wait for their father to wake up, and to take care of him. Chen Fei felt that this was fine, so he left some time for the father and daughter to get along. He found Li Zhi, Li Zhi categorically had no reason to refuse in this matter, not to mention that when he was a child, he grew up behind the butts of his two sisters, and he didn't agree to this request, which was too unkind.

So the two princesses made an exception to stay in the palace, Chen Fei was inconvenient to stay because he was a foreign minister, he comforted Linchuan for a long time, and then left.

The days have been pushed forward for a few more days, although there is no bad news in the palace for the time being, but every minister can feel that the atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier, and in this heavy atmosphere, there is also a very bad news - Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, died of a serious illness! A generation of military gods has fallen!

He has twice conquered the peoples on the grassland, captured the Khan alive, and spit out his bones in the west, and the military god who has made countless military exploits will sleep forever!

In the army, many soldiers regard Li Jing as a spiritual role model, and now his departure has a great impact on the army, many soldiers are suffering for it, and many generals in the army were his subordinates, all of whom came to see off Li Jing's body!

Chen Fei is also in Qilie, he has always respected Li Jing very much, this old man is probably the one who takes the most care of him in the court except for Cheng Yanjin, and he does not ask him for anything in return, he really looks at himself as his nephew, but unfortunately, life and death are not up to anyone. This great general, who has left a strong mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty and the history of the world, could not escape the ruthlessness of the years after all, and passed away.

On the day of the funeral, Li Shimin in the palace got the news, regardless of his seriously ill body, insisted on leaving the palace to see off this comrade-in-arms who had been with him for many years.

After Li Jing's death, Li Shimin seemed to be deeply shocked, and when he returned to the palace, he fell ill and fell asleep, which lasted for five days!

Zhenguan 23rd year, July 10. This day is destined to leave a sad mark in the history books.

In the early morning, Li Shimin, who had been asleep for five days, suddenly woke up. Urgently summoned Li Zhi to meet him. Li Zhi was originally in the dynasty on behalf of the government, but when he heard that his father woke up, he couldn't take care of much, so he rushed to Li Shimin's bedroom.

During this period, several imperial doctors had already looked at Li Shimin's condition, but the results were chilling.

Terminally ill and powerless!

Li Shimin woke up this time, it seemed to be a bit like a return to the light, and his consciousness was a little confused, pulling Li Zhidong to explain, West to explain, what to think of and say, Li Zhi with tears, word by word, remember very seriously.

In the end, Li Shimin suddenly grabbed Li Zhi's hands and said, "Childish slave! Father seems to see the future of Datang in his dream! Chen Fei proposed to get those fleets and form them if the treasury was sufficient! My father seems to have seen that one day, those huge fleets, carrying the flag of the Tang Dynasty, would conquer a country with one! Datang will be prosperous! Father hopes that you can keep this foundation well, and don't let your father's hard work go to waste! ”

Li Zhi cried slightly, nodded and shook his head, and sobbed: "Father, the sons will keep this foundation, and they will not disappoint the father, and the sons will learn from the emperor, open up the territory, and let the territory of the Tang Dynasty expand to every piece of land under the sky, but ...... Father, don't you go, okay? There are many, many things that the sons and daughters will not, is it okay for the father to stay and teach the sons? ”

"Silly boy!" Li Shimin gently touched Li Zhi's forehead, revealing a loving look. "Your father is old, after all, you can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, you have to learn to be strong, and when your father is gone, don't be afraid, you can take it out and discuss it with the ministers when you encounter something, you know? If it is difficult, you can find the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, if it is a strange thing or something that is so difficult that they have nothing to pay attention to, you can find Chen Fei. This son is quick to think and may surprise you. ”

Li Zhi nodded desperately, "The sons know, the father is relieved, the sons will definitely discuss with the ministers, and the father ......"

"Okay, don't cry anymore, you are a man, and you are the future emperor, you should be strong, don't cry all the time, and don't be unorthodox. Slave, send for your brothers, sisters, and sisters, and my concubines, I have something to say to them. ”

Li Zhi tearfully agreed. It didn't take long for the royal family members to gather together, but in order to ensure safety, everyone met Li Shimin at a certain distance, especially women, who cried in front of Li Shimin, and only cries were heard in the hall.

After Li Shimin explained to his children and concubines, he asked them to step down, leaving only Li Zhi and Li Mingda, the most favored children, by his side.

Li Mingda threw himself into Li Zhi's arms and cried, and Li Zhi himself held back his tears and did not fall.

On the contrary, Li Shimin seemed very calm. He was silent on the ceiling, and the scenes of the past flashed before his eyes.

From following his father's uprising, to the later Xuanwumen Change, and then to the Tang Dynasty under his rule, everything was in front of him, but he became a spectator, watching his life calmly.

Rebellion or wonderful, this life...... It's already gone.

In the end, Li Shimin smiled and said softly to Li Zhi and Li Mingda: "Children, my father has gone to find your mother, and you will depend on yourself in the days to come." After speaking, Li Shimin smiled and passed away forever!

A generation of legendary emperor Li Shimin said goodbye to the world!

His life is legendary, wonderful, and brilliant, but there are also regrets and stains. However, no matter what, he is Li Shimin! He was one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history!

Taizong raised eighteen volunteers, and Bai Ming and Huang Yue set two capitals.

Capture and kill Dou Sihaiqing, and four achievements in twenty.

Nine out of twenty are the emperor's throne, and five out of thirty are peaceful.

The success is determined by the speed of God, and the speed is in the heart of the heart!
