Chapter 714: Reassure Empress Eldest Sun
Li Su motioned for the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids to step down, and then gently sat next to Li Shimin. It's late spring and early summer, and the temperature has begun to rise, but Li Shimin's body is still covered with a thick quilt, when Li Su wanted to put Li Shimin's bare hand into the quilt, but found that the other party's palm was cold, and the skin on the back of the hand was not only loose, but also a piece of dazzling age spots.
And not only on the back of his hand, but also on Li Shimin's emaciated cheeks, there are also elderly classes the size of rice grains, coupled with the deep wrinkles on his forehead and gray hair, which makes Li Shimin look extremely old, like an old man who is over the age of old.
Li Su rubbed the back of his father's hand and put his hands together, waiting until Li Shimin's palm began to become warm, then put it back on the quilt, and then carefully tucked the horns away. A man can only feel the greatness of his father's love after becoming a father, although Li Su's soul comes from later generations, but in his heart, he has regarded Li Shimin as his father.
Sometimes Li Su also thinks of his parents in another time and space, as time goes by, the people and things in that time and space slowly become blurred, but the image of his parents is becoming more and more distinct, and slowly coincides with the parents in this time and space. In Li Su's heart, Li Shimin carries the father image of his two lives. It was precisely because of this that when he saw Li Shimin, who was lying unconscious on the bed, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Li Su remembered the last time he said goodbye to Li Shimin, it was not long after Chou was born, and he was in a hurry to go to Taiwan to open up a land that really belonged to him, but since that parting, the father and son have never met. At most, it was only through correspondence, and now the ugly and ugly are already sixteen-year-old girls. And Li Shimin has also changed from the energetic man in the prime of life to the old man who is now in his old age.
I think about the bits and pieces I have experienced over the years. Li Su couldn't help but sigh a little, who would have thought that his little butterfly that crossed over would really change the entire history. Now the Tang Dynasty dominates East Asia and Central Asia; He controls the entire Pacific Ocean and the Americas, Li Zhen and Li Yun brothers occupy Tianzhu, and at the same time they are eyeing Africa and the Great Eclipse, and Li Ke, who started at the latest, has also gained a firm foothold in the Mediterranean, and at the same time has the tendency to annex Rome, I believe it will not be a few years. A new European hegemon will emerge.
The whole earth has been divided by Li Yu and their father and son, and the eyes of the Central Plains people have also been opened, they know how big this world is, and they have also begun to measure the size of the world with their own feet, except for Antarctica, which is not suitable for human survival, the other six continents have been covered with the footprints of the Central Plains people, no matter how the era develops in the future, the Central Plains people will not only put their eyes on a corner of East Asia, they will strive for a broader living space for themselves.
"Father. Our Central Plains people can develop to the current point, and your support for the sons is inseparable, the sons believe that in thousands of years, your name will be admired by countless descendants of Yan and Huang! Li Su finally said softly.
To be able to get this far. Although Li Su himself has made great efforts, it is also inseparable from Li Shimin's support, and even because of Li Shimin's support. Li Su was able to take the first step, and then led Li Zhen, Li Yun and Li Ke. With their own efforts and the support of Datang, they slowly spread the power of the Central Plains people throughout the world.
Next, Li Su sat next to Li Shimin. said a lot of things to himself, including about the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty and Daqi, as well as some of his own family affairs, anyway, Li Su is thinking of where to go, although Li Shimin is still in a coma, but according to Sun Simiao, Li Shimin still reacts to the stimulation of the outside world, Li Su is the other party's favorite son, and he has not seen him for more than ten years, so if he can chat with Li Shimin more, it may make him recover his sanity faster.
But it's a pity that Li Su has been chatting with Li Shimin for most of the day, but the other party still doesn't have any appearance of waking up, but this is also normal, Li Su has learned from Sun Simiao that Li Shimin sometimes can't wake up once for two or three days, and even if he wakes up, most of the time he is still in a state of confusion, and he doesn't even recognize Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang felt sorry for her husband and even more sorry for her son, so in the afternoon, she asked Wen Xin to take Li Qi, Li Mian and other children to meet Li Shimin, and by the way, Li Su also called out, and then made a few dishes he liked to eat.
Li Su also knew that if he wanted Li Shimin to wake up, it was not a matter of a while, so he also seemed very calm, and chatted with Concubine Yang during the meal, and after the meal, he asked Wen Xin and other girls to take the children and accompany Concubine Yang to stay in the palace for a while, after all, since Li Shimin fell into a coma, Empress Changsun's health is not good, so the big and small affairs in the palace need to be worried about Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang also knew that Li Su still had a lot of things to deal with, so she didn't keep him, but just told him not to take everything on herself, and everything was handled by the ministers of the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Su also nodded after hearing this, and after saying goodbye to Concubine Yang, he immediately asked people to take him to the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun was located.
Empress Changsun's body is also very weak, and after holding on to meet Li Su today, she went back to the palace to rest for a while, but soon sat up again, and then asked people to prepare tea, because she knew that Li Su would definitely come to see her.
"See the Queen Mother!" Li Su did not express surprise at what Empress Changsun was waiting for him, but bowed as usual.
"Rokuro doesn't have to be polite, you've worked hard all the way!" Empress Eldest Sun's complexion is still very bad, and the whole person is also very thin, but in those eyes, there is still a magnificent bearing of the world.
After hearing this, Li Su hurriedly said a few polite words, and then cared about the other party's body, and then waited silently and waited for the other party to get down to business. For the eldest grandson queen, Li Su can't talk about liking or hating, when he was in Chang'an before, Li Su's limelight overshadowed other princes, which made the eldest grandson queen feel a threat, so she was not very close to Li Su, but later Li Su supported Li Zhi, which made the eldest grandson suspicious, she agreed to Li Zhi to marry Cai'er, in fact, she didn't mean to show favor to Li Su.
I saw that the eldest grandson queen took the medicine bowl sent by the maid next to her and drank it all, she gave birth too much when she was young, which greatly damaged her vitality, if it wasn't for Li Su to find Sun Simiao last time, I'm afraid she would have died long ago. However, despite having a big player like Sun Simiao, as Empress Changsun gets older, her body begins to become weaker and weaker, and sometimes a small wind chill can make her unable to get out of bed for months.
"Liulang, your father is seriously ill, and looking at the current situation, even if he can sober up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with government affairs, what do you think about this?" Empress Eldest Sun rinsed her mouth with water, and then asked with a reluctant smile.
Hearing the tentative question of Empress Eldest Sun, Li Su laughed secretly in his heart, no matter how shrewd a woman is, she will be confused when facing issues related to her son's future.
"What the queen mother said is that his father is seriously ill and in a coma, and the prince will naturally be in charge of the country according to the etiquette, and the ninth brother is not young now, and he usually learns to deal with government affairs with his father, so the son suggests that the ninth brother can exercise imperial power on behalf of his father!" Li Su said solemnly.
Li Shimin is unconscious, and Empress Changsun has become a person who can influence the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Su does not have any thoughts about the Tang Dynasty, but from the position of Empress Changsun, there will definitely be some worries, so Li Su must first let Empress Changsun feel at ease with herself, so as not to cause misunderstandings when getting along in the future.
Empress Changsun's face was relieved after hearing this, and she seemed to secretly sigh out, but then she spoke again: "Liulang, although the pheasant slave is the crown prince, you also know his temperament, I am worried that he will not be able to suppress some old ministers in the court, so if the pheasant slave is pro-government, you also have to help him more!" ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother, it is the duty of the son to assist the ninth brother, although it is inconvenient for me to directly interfere in some affairs, but as long as the son is needed, I will never shirk!" Li Su reassured again. Originally, as Li Su, it was not appropriate to interfere in the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would be easy to cause dissatisfaction among the eldest grandson family and other princes, but now the situation is special, and sometimes he has to express his position, otherwise Li Zhi alone will not be able to deal with it at all.
However, when Empress Changsun heard that Li Su did not hide it at all, but directly said that she would interfere in the situation of the Tang Dynasty, which made her feel more at ease, and at the same time, the whole person finally relaxed completely, a trace of blood appeared on her pale face, and she smiled and said again: "The pheasant slave has been close to you since he was a child, and now that you help him, I am relieved." ”
It's just that when she said this, the eldest grandson queen frowned, and then said: "But during this period of time, the pheasant slave was heartbroken because of his father's affairs, and he had no intention of dealing with government affairs, although I persuaded him many times, but it had no effect, fortunately, he listened to you the sixth brother the most, so you must persuade him." ”
"Don't worry, the ninth brother is a person who values feelings, plus he is also a father now, and his feelings for his father are even deeper, so he is sadder than anyone else about his father's serious illness, but he also knows his responsibility, so I will persuade him to cheer up tomorrow." Li Su said very seriously, if he said something else, he might not be sure, but it was not difficult for him to persuade Li Zhi.
With Li Su's assurance, this made Empress Changsun finally put her mind at ease and began to chat with him about some family matters, such as Chouchou's life in the palace after coming to Chang'an, and which family's daughter is good, so that Li Qi or Li Mian can pay attention to it and so on.
