Chapter 618: Let him come back

On this bloody night, I don't know how many people in Chang'an City couldn't sleep, the lights in the imperial study were on all night, and the important ministers of the imperial court such as Nayan Pei Lin did not go home at all, and they have been discussing how to deal with the aftermath in the courtroom. It wasn't until dawn that the executioner who cut off his head outside the West Inner Garden went home exhausted, and the door of the imperial study was finally opened from the inside, and Li Yuan, who had snow-white hair, walked out with a calm face overnight.

The emperor had gray hair overnight, and he didn't know how many palace maids and eunuchs he frightened.

After Li Yuan walked out of the imperial study, he took a deep breath, looked at the sky with fish belly white in the east for a while, and then walked slowly in the direction of the dormitory, several eunuchs followed him closely, hanging their heads and walking cautiously, not even daring to let their footsteps be a little louder. After walking more than ten meters, Li Yuan's footsteps paused, he glanced back at those palace maids and attendants, and ordered in a low voice: "Get some breakfast and send it to the queen's palace." I'm going to see the queen and have breakfast with her. ”

Several chamberlains hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked away quickly. The farther away from the emperor, the more relaxed they became.

Li Yuan walked to the queen's bedroom alone, waved his hand to show that the person in front of him should not be silent, and he walked in. Queen Dou's life is actually coming to an end, and a woman who originally looked very graceful and charming is now like dead wood. Every day, I only drink some gruel, and most of the bowls have to be spit out when I feed it. Most of the time the mind is in a state of chaos, and the eyes may not be able to open several times a day, and even if they do, they cannot recognize who most people are.

She often said gibberish things, and the palace ladies who served her were terrified to hear them. What was buried, lost, what hit the wall and died, what old nun, what worship Buddha blessed and the like, she said these things intermittently, and almost everyone who often served her could recite them. But because it's so messy, no one knows what kind of story these words are together.

It is precisely because the queen is delirious and says too many foolish things that these palace maids are also forbidden to go out of the dormitory. They were placed under house arrest in this large courtyard as if they were with the queen, and they had nothing to do all day except to serve the queen. As the saying goes, there is no filial son after a long illness, although the queen's status is respected, but these palace maids serve such an old woman who looks like she is half a dead person all day long, and the emperor has not been here for a long, long time, even if those palace maids and eunuchs are timid, they will inevitably have a slack and contemptuous heart after a long time.

So when Li Yuan walked into the queen's bedroom, the guards and eunuchs on duty at the door had a slightly ugly face. Li Yuan obviously didn't notice this, and when he walked into the queen's residence with gentle steps, his face suddenly changed.

There was no one in the room, only the cloudy woman's eyes were rarely open, and she stretched out her hand to try her best to pick up a glass of water beside the bed, but she was indeed too weak, and her hand touched the cup but could not reach it. Li Yuan's face instantly became extremely ugly, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He walked over quickly and sat down beside Dou, picked up the cup and was about to feed it to the queen, but found that the cup was empty.

The queen seemed to recognize him, and two lines of old tears couldn't help but slide down.

There was a bad smell on her body, it was not the smell of a dying person, but the smell of a person who had not taken a bath for at least half a month, Li Yuan lifted the quilt and found that Dou Shi was not wearing a single piece of clothing, and after the quilt was lifted, a stench immediately sprayed out.

Li Yuan's expression was suffocated for a moment, and then a sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Hasn't the prince been here for a long time?"

He asked softly after holding the queen in his arms and covering the cup.

Dou nodded tremblingly, silently weeping.

Li Yuan slapped her body, as if coaxing a child to sleep: "It's all my fault, I blamed him for everything in the court." I also wanted to familiarize the crown prince with how to be an emperor earlier, but I forgot to let him come and see you more. There are too many things I have done these days, the Tang Dynasty has only just established the country, and there are still a few henchmen who have not been eliminated, and my mind is on the side of things, but I ignore your side. ”

He said softly: "Don't worry, I won't sleep in the imperial study in the future, I will go back here to sleep every day, and eat with you every day." ”

"What about Bishamon?"

Dou Shi looked into Li Yuan's eyes and asked, his voice hoarse as if the wind was blowing next door: "I heard those people outside just now say that Bishamen is dead?" You tell me, is it true? And Motoyoshi...... Where is Motoyoshi? ”

"Bishamen ......"

Li Yuan's eyes were red, and then he said in a calm voice: "How come, I will ask someone to bring him to you to greet you in a while, I will let him handle the review and review of government affairs in the East Palace, and he has to read and write every day to learn etiquette, he is indeed too busy." ”

"Don't lie to me......"

Dou shook his head with tears and said, "Although I am confused most of the time, I still know how many sons I have. Bishamen is dead, Yuanji is also dead, and the people of the world are reversed, right? Right?! ”

Li Yuan was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Yes"

"Let him come back, bring him back...... Before I die, will you let me see my son again? I beg you...... Being your son is the most pitiful and sad thing in the world, and I can't let them all die before me...... I want to see him, and I want to see the people...... I beg you, stop killing people anymore, and let the people of the world let him come back, okay? ”

"Good!"

Li Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "I'll let them all come back." ”

He put down his wife and covered the quilt, and said softly: "I'll let people go and deliver the decree, and bring both of them back to see you, don't worry." ”

He walked out of the room, not daring to look back at the woman.

On this day, a total of 132 palace maids, chamberlains, and guards were killed. The corpses were chopped up and fed to the pigs, and the wails of the guards as they rushed into the dormitory to kill people resounded in the sky, including the maniacal laughter of an old woman.

"It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead!"

……

……

"Pei Lonely......"

Li Yuan glanced at the several important ministers standing under the table, frowned slightly, and said, "Send someone to Li Xiaogong's army and tell him to bring the people back." Empress...... The queen also wants to see the people of the world again. ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Pei Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally relaxed. His Royal Highness King Qin must not die again, otherwise the throne of the Tang Dynasty will really have the turn of a concubine to inherit. The concubine succeeded to the throne, and the name is not right, who knows what waves will rise in the world? is the one who now supports the army and is self-respecting, even if the emperor can't recognize him, but the identity of his sister-in-law is there, if a concubine succeeds to the throne, can he be convinced?

With that person's status and strength, even if he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he would at least have to be crowned as the king and defend one side. If the king of Qin is also dead at that time, and the emperor chooses a prince who is a concubine to succeed him, no matter where that person is, he only needs to ascend to the heights and shout, and with his prestige in the army, he can easily raise hundreds of thousands of troops, and who can stop his troops at that time? And even if his identity is not bright, after all, it is still easier for people to accept than a concubine.

When the time comes, those restless guys in the DPRK and China will follow and make trouble, and it will be difficult for the world of the Tang Dynasty to guarantee that it will not repeat the mistakes of the Great Sui.

"The minister will send someone to the Xi'an king's army to deliver the decree."

Pei Lin said in a low voice.

"Well, the sins of the people are unforgivable, but the queen's ...... The Queen's days are numbered, and I can't let her fail to fulfill her last wish. As for how to condemn the people after they are brought back......"

"The minister thinks that the queen's wishes should be the most important, His Majesty should pay attention to filial piety, and let King Qin return to the queen's side to fulfill his filial piety is the most important thing. As for how to convict...... The queen is not in good health now and can't withstand the blow. ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes...... Can't stand the blow anymore. ”

He was silent for a while, looked at the few important ministers below and said: "Duan Zhixuan can't lead the troops anymore, he didn't come back with the people after all, there are still some courtiers' ways, let him hand over a copy of the guilty plea, I will give him a vacant position as a Guanglu doctor, and let him go back to Chang'an." Li Daozong went to replace him, and the 100,000 troops outside the eastern capital could not help but grasp it firmly...... As for Wang Shichong"

"I think it's ......"

Xiao Yu glanced at Li Yuan and said in a low voice: "The minister thinks that since Li Xian leads the position of the governor of Henan Province, and His Majesty has given him the title of king, the 300,000 elite soldiers under his command should still be used. ”

Pei Lin sneered in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart, Xiao Yu, your plan is too much to take for granted. Yan Wang Li Xian, is he such an idiot as you imagined? If he defeats the Eastern Capital, will he return to Chang'an?

"Now Li Xian is leading tens of thousands of troops to station on the banks of the Weishui River......"

Xiao Yu reminded in a whisper.

His original intention was to remind Emperor Li Xian that he led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to be so close to Chang'an and had to be guarded, and it was better to fight him back earlier. By attacking the eastern capital, he consumed some of his troops, so it was best to let him fight with Dou Jiande again. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan's expression stiffened when he heard his words, and then he said something that disappointed Xiao Yu.

"yes...... He is so close to the Eastern Capital, since this is the case, let him enter Chang'an to see me. This time, he escorted Princess Pingyang back, and he still had some credit. If he has merit, he will be rewarded, and he will be allowed to bring 500 personal soldiers into the city, clean up the palace of the king of Qi, and let him live temporarily. ”

"Your Majesty! This is not in accordance with the system! ”

Xiao Yu was shocked, and was about to persuade Li Yuan again, but waved his hand and said, "I'm tired...... Liu Zhenghui, you can do this. Go down, all of you, and I'll rest for a while. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned, and then sighed heavily.

After walking out of the door, Xiao Yu pulled Pei Lian and asked angrily: "Why don't you persuade Your Majesty, then Li Xian, the king of Yan, said that he can't go back to Chang'an." He'll come back, only to be more chaotic! ”

"Why can't you go back?"

Pei Lin asked rhetorically: "Do you think that Lord Xiao is the right thing to put pressure on King Yan now?" You're thinking too simply, if you force him back...... Lord Xiao, are you willing to lead the troops to the crusade? ”

"I ......"

Xiao Yu opened his mouth, stomped his foot heavily and walked away quickly.
