Chapter 1338: The Deathbed Will
Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji never expected that when they visited Li Shimin and were about to leave, the other party suddenly vomited blood, and then his condition deteriorated sharply.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is nothing we can do about His Majesty's situation!" I saw Sun Simiao come out of the Hanfeng Hall at this time, and said to Li Zhi tiredly.
"Sun Daochang, father and emperor...... He really ......" Li Zhi couldn't help but show a grief-stricken expression when he heard Sun Simiao's words, and the tears rolled down in the middle of his words, and he couldn't say it at all, and Li Xiu and Eldest Sun Wuji and others behind him also showed sad expressions, although they had already been mentally prepared, but when this moment came, it was still a little unacceptable.
"Life and death are fateful, Your Majesty's life is over, it is not for us to save!" Sun Simiao sighed again and said, he has treated many important ministers of the Tang Dynasty over the years, but many of these people are because they are too old and their lives have come to an end, and he can't do anything about it, and this time it is finally the turn of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Daochang Sun, can you make Your Majesty sober up for a while, it's okay...... Let Your Majesty explain what happened after his death! At this moment, I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stood up and said that Li Zhi was in grief and couldn't extricate himself, but at this time, someone must come forward to preside over the overall situation, and he is naturally duty-bound.
"We have prepared a decoction, which should wake up Your Majesty!" Sun Simiao also nodded at the moment and said, generally in this case, it is necessary to hang the patient's life, not to mention that Li Shimin, as an emperor, naturally has more things to explain clearly.
At that moment, Sun Simiao entered the Hanfeng Hall again, and after about half an hour, news finally came from inside, Li Shimin temporarily sobered up, and called Li Zhi into the hall, and at this time, although Li Zhi was still in tears, he hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve and quickly entered the hall.
Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji and others were also waiting outside, after a while, another chamberlain came out, Xuan Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji entered, which made the two also hurriedly enter the hall, when they came to Li Shimin's bed, they found that he was half lying there at this time, although his face was very pale, but it may be the effect of the drug, he looked in good spirits, and his eyes were very clear, but Li Zhi was sitting in front of Li Shimin's bed at this time and cried.
"You're here, hurry up and sit down, I don't have much time, and I have a lot to say to you!" I saw a weak smile on Li Shimin's pale face, he had explained many things to Li Zhi just now, but he was still a little uneasy, and Li Xiu and Eldest Sun Wuji in front of him were his most trusted ministers and his best friends, so he had to entrust them with some things.
"Your Majesty!" Li Xiu and eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but have hot eyes when they heard Li Shimin's words, and tears welled up, they and Li Shimin not only had the friendship of monarchs and ministers, but also the righteousness of friends, and now seeing that this old friend has also come to the most important step in his life, this makes the two of them feel extremely sad, and even want to cry on the spot.
However, Li Shimin was very calm at this time, and he showed an indifferent smile at this time and said: "I used to be very afraid of death before, and even did some absurd things, but when I really came to this point, I now feel very calm in my heart, and no one knows what the world will be like after death. ”
At this time, Li Shimin seemed very open-minded, but Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji felt uncomfortable when they heard it, and Li Zhi next to him cried again, but it was Li Shimin who opened his mouth to comfort them.
finally waited for Li Xiu and them to calm down, only to see Li Shimin say again very seriously at this time: "Li Xiu, Wuji!" I am leaving, and the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji will also be handed over to the prince to be in charge, although the prince has done a very good job over the years, but he is still young after all, and sometimes he may not think it through, you are my most trusted minister, so I also hope that you can assist the prince wholeheartedly in the future to ensure that my Tang dynasty is forever! ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will do everything they can to assist the prince!" Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji also stood up at this time and solemnly bowed to Li Shimin, at this time Li Shimin's deathbed request, they could not refuse no matter what.
Seeing Li Xiu and them agree, Li Shimin also showed a reassuring smile on his face, and then looked at Li Zhi who was sitting in front of his bed, but at the moment he grabbed his hand and slowly admonished: "Pheasant slave, Li Xiu and Wuji are your elders, and your father will be gone in the future, you must listen to them more, especially as an emperor, you must listen more and believe more, and you must not let your temperament come to a fool's errand!" ”
"Son-in-law obeys the teachings of the emperor!" Li Zhi spoke again with a crying voice at this time.
After telling his son and Li Xiu, Li Shimin then explained some other things, both official and private, among which he specially told Li Zhi that he must find a satisfactory family affair for his son, which is also the most reassuring thing for him, and Li Zhi also tearfully agreed.
There are too many things for Li Shimin to explain, but as time goes by, his energy becomes less and less, after all, the decoction of hanging life is not a miracle medicine, it can only stimulate the last bit of vitality in Li Shimin's body, as if it is a return to the light, and it will not last long at all.
"Father, you don't have to say it anymore, your sons and daughters know, you better rest more!" Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin's spirit was getting weaker and weaker, and he cried and begged again at the moment.
"Idiot, people always have to die, but before I die, I have to explain things clearly, so that I can walk with peace of mind!" I saw that Li Shimin stretched out his dry right hand at this time, gently stroked the top of Li Zhi's head, and then explained a few things after his death, and then stopped.
Seeing that Li Shimin had finally finished explaining, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji were also relieved, but at this time, they saw Li Shimin suddenly look at Li Xiu, and then spoke again: "Pheasant slave, Wuji, you two step back first, I have a few words I want to talk to Li Xiu alone!" ”
Li Zhi and eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect Li Shimin to make such a request, they were both stunned for a moment, and Li Xiu was also stunned, I don't know what Li Shimin has to say to himself?
"Yes, the retainers are retired!" Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xiu at this time, and finally stood up and retired with Li Zhi, as for the palace maids in the palace, they had already retired, and only Li Xiu and Li Shimin were left in the entire palace.
