Chapter 558: Dusk Drum and Morning Bell (Finale)

Previous Chapter

In October, it is already the early winter, but the sky is not very cold, the sun hangs warmly in the sky, the wind is not strong, the fallen leaves are lightly rolled and danced, the maple leaves on both sides of the mountain road are bright red like blood, the withered yellow grass blades ripple with the wind like waves, the scenery is particularly charming, but Li Zhen, who is galloping on horseback, has no intention of enjoying such beautiful scenery, and keeps urging the horse to go, thousands of guards who follow closely behind stir up the dust in the sky like a whirlwind on the mountain road, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder startles the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, so panicked.

"Your Highness, you are about to arrive at Lantian, it's almost noon, look at ......" Yan Eighteen, who was rushing behind Li Zhen, accelerated his horse and came closer, first peeking at Li Zhen's face, and then cautiously tried to say a word.

"Hmm." Li Zhen didn't have a trace of expression on his indifferent face, he just said noncommittally, still riding his horse as before, Yan Eighteen saw this, didn't dare to ask again, and honestly retreated back.

It's almost noon, it's time to rest, not to mention that a group of people have been rushing for nearly a month, they are all extremely tired, even Li Zhen herself is tired enough, how can the worries and worries in her heart make Li Zhen unwilling and can't stop - since the defeat of Goguryeo, Li Zhen has received a letter from Jingshi, knowing that all the kings have been destroyed, in a good mood, he is not in a hurry to return to China, and he planned to personally preside over the celebration of Gao Renwu's enthronement as the king of Goguryeo, But unexpectedly, the bad news came one after another, first the condition of Xuanling in the left servant shot Fang deteriorated, and he passed away on August 20, the 21st year of Zhenguan, and then Li Zhen's mentor Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, suddenly contracted a vicious disease, and returned with a crane in the early September of the 21st year of Zhenguan - in the time and space from which Li Zhen came, both died one after another at the beginning of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, perhaps because of the butterfly effect caused by Li Zhen's crossing, the two actually returned to heaven together at such an extremely sensitive time, and then counted the Zhongshu Ling Ma Zhou, who died in early May. In a year, so many important ministers have passed away one after another, such continuous bad news made a generation of emperor Li Shimin very sad, so he was sick in bed, almost unable to govern, now although the court has the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang two bigwigs in the presiding, but the situation is quite delicate, for this reason, Li Zhen, who can not rest assured, had to hand over the withdrawal of the army and Goguryeo to the deputy marshal Li Ji to take care of, and he led three thousand guards to return to Beijing in advance.

Li Zhenzhi is so anxious to rush back to Beijing, in addition to worrying about Li Shimin's health and running for the funeral of his mentor Li Jing, there are also political considerations, the root of which is in Situ Changsun Wuji - what kind of person Li Zhen knows in his heart, speaking of which this person is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has always been loyal to Li Shimin, and he can be regarded as a capable person in governing the world, but his political philosophy is too different from Li Zhen, and it is difficult to have a win-win compromise between them, once Li Zhen ascends the throne, The eldest grandson Wuji will never be able to maintain his current political status, this is not only clear to Li Zhen, but also the eldest grandson Wuji has a number in his heart, of course, the eldest grandson Wuji will not have the ambition to usurp the throne by taking advantage of the emptiness of the court, and there may not be any plans to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, but there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, Li Shimin is still alive, in case Li Shimin goes, and Li Zhen is far away in Goguryeo, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have the idea of supporting the kings, although this possibility is not too great, But the consequences were something Li Zhen didn't want to see, so Li Zhen was in a hurry along the way.

The galloping cavalry brigade rushed all the way, rushing out of the mountain road like an angry tornado, Lantian County was already far away, and there was only one day left before the Beijing division, but Li Zhen's eagerness to return to Beijing was not only not a little slow, but it was more urgent, although he knew that a group of personal guard generals were already at the end of the crossbow, but Li Zhen still didn't want to delay more in Lantian, so he glanced back at the generals behind him, and ordered calmly: "Herald: Lantian will not stop, continue to march, and stay overnight in Qilipo!" ”

"Yes, the last general will obey His Highness's orders!" Although Yan Eighteen, Ying Da and other generals were exhausted, they would definitely not disobey Li Zhen's orders, and they each responded loudly, and after a while, a terrible horn sounded in the queue, and a group of guards shook their spirits, and quickly rushed towards the Beijing Division, and for a time the dust on the spacious official road was like a dragon......

At three o'clock at the end of the fourth day of the tenth month of the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, the black crow in front of the Wuli Pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing was crowded with people, and the bigwigs of the court such as King Ji Li Shen, Situ Changsun Wuji, and Zhu Suiliang in the service were at the forefront, that is, even Xiao Yu, who had been sick at home for a long time, also appeared in the crowd, as for the scholars and servants of the various ministries, such as Li Daozong, Li Qianhe and other court dignitaries were also all impressively listed. Counting the Yulin officers and soldiers who were on guard and guard, as well as the personal guards of various prefectures, there were nearly 10,000 people, and the avenue in front of the Wuli Pavilion was crowded, but so many people gathered together, there was not a trace of noise, and everyone looked forward to the far end of the official road, silently waiting, it was obvious that there was only one person who could make so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries look forward to it, and that was the prince Li Zhen who rushed back to Beijing from the front line!

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has returned!"

……

Just when everyone was waiting anxiously, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance, and a group of cavalry could be vaguely seen rushing towards Wuli Pavilion at high speed, and a bright yellow flag was waving in the wind, and a group of courtiers who had been waiting for a long time were all excited, and the originally neatly arranged queue was a little scattered because of this.

Li Zhen and his entourage were extremely fast, and they had already arrived in front of Wuli Pavilion in a few moments, and before the horses stopped, Li Shen, the king of Ji, rushed forward excitedly, looked at Li Zhen with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Starling, you, you are finally back, little brother, little brother ......."

Li Zhen knew that Li Shenzhi was a person, and also knew that he had never had the ambition to win the heir, at this time, seeing his true feelings revealed, his heart was quite moved, he bowed, turned over and dismounted, reached out and patted Li Shen's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Ten brothers, you are not in Beijing, you can fulfill your duties, share your father's worries, and work hard." ”

As soon as Li Shen heard this, his heart suddenly felt warm, his nose was sore, and tears couldn't help but flow down, and he didn't care to wipe it, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Prince's award is false, you are famous outside the territory, and the younger brother can do something for his brother in the rear, it is right." ”

"Well, the words of the tenth brother have been remembered." Li Zhen smiled slightly, and made up her mind in her heart to keep Li Shen safe for the rest of her life, but Li Zhen just buried these words in her heart, but she didn't show it, patted Li Shen's shoulder again, and then strode over to the courtiers who had been waiting for a long time.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The ministers did not dare to disturb the narrative of Li Zhen and the brothers before, but when they saw that Li Zhen was about to come, they bowed down and saluted one after another.

"All Aiqing, please get up." Li Zhenxu raised his hand, motioned to the ministers to be flat, and then glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with deep meaning, but he didn't say much, just smiled and said: "Zhong Aiqing, I am lonely and worried about my father, and I will enter the palace to face the saint, please go back first, and discuss it tomorrow." As soon as the words fell, he didn't care about the reaction of the ministers, turned over his horse, and led a group of guards to leave.

As soon as Li Zhen left like this, the ministers who came from afar were dumbfounded, but under Li Zhen's majesty, no one dared to say anything more, looked at each other for a while, and had to disperse, only the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang dragged on to the end.

"Lord Situ, Your Highness's filial piety is good." Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhu Suiliang came to the side of the eldest grandson Wuji and said something meaningful.

The eldest grandson Wuji was swept away by Li Zhen's eyes before, and at this time, his heart was still beating suddenly, how could he have the heart to pay attention to Zhu Suiliang's words, and his eyes were full of worry - the eldest grandson Wuji knew very well that when the kings were in turmoil, it was difficult for him to hide what he did from Li Zhen's ears and eyes, although he did not participate in the conspiracy of the kings, but he had the heart to watch the changes, this was a big taboo, plus there were old grievances in the early years, how could the eldest grandson Wuji not be worried, but now in such a field, What if you're worried? In desperation, the eldest grandson Wuji could only shake his head with a wry smile, sighed, and didn't care whether Zhu Suiliang followed, hooked his head, dragged his feet, and walked straight towards his own carriage......

Not to mention how the eldest grandson Wuji was panicked, but said that Li Zhen and the others hurried all the way to the front of the Daming Palace, and when they handed over the sign, they saw the new chamberlain Liu He leading a few small eunuchs out of the palace in a hurry, and when they got closer, they preached loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Prince Xuan Li Zhen will be seen in the palace." ”

"There is Lao Liu's father-in-law." Li Zhen had already received a tip-off and knew that Liu Donghe had returned to his hometown, and this Liu He was the new internal supervisor, so he was not rude, nodded with a smile, and greeted him politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the slave and maid congratulate His Highness on his triumphant return." Liu Hejiu was on the emperor's side, how could he not know Li Zhen's temperament, how could he dare to put up a stand in front of Li Zhen, hurriedly took a step back, bowed down and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can be regarded as back, Your Majesty has been talking about you these days, and every day you are counting your return journey with your fingers." ”

"How is my father's health?" Li Zhen walked towards the palace gate and asked casually.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is slightly itchy, Doctor Xiao has just prescribed medicine, and it should be fine." Liu and Baza took off their glasses and replied with something in their words.

Although Liu He said vaguely, Li Zhen understood as soon as he heard it - "should" mean that Li Shimin's illness is not very good, although Li Zhen has long been mentally prepared for this, but when he heard the news, his heart couldn't help but sink suddenly, his face changed, and he didn't say anything more, and walked quickly to the Qinzheng Palace, as soon as he entered the door of the main hall, he saw Li Shimin lying on the Hu bed, his face was thin, his face was extremely pale, his heart ached, and he hurriedly rushed forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and choked up:" Father, son-in-law is back. ”

"Okay, good, just come back, just come back, good boy, quick, get up, come and let me take a look." As soon as Li Shimin saw Li Zhen enter the hall, he was excited, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he didn't need anyone to help him, but he sat up straight, beckoned with a smile, and motioned for Li Zhen to come forward.

"Father ......" looked at Li Shimin's haggard face, and then remembered the relationship between father and son for more than 20 years, Li Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak.

"Idiot, cry a lot, isn't it good for me?" Seeing Li Zhen so emotional, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a wave of licking in his heart, stretched out his hand and patted Li Zhen's thick shoulder, and said with a smile: "I know everything, you fought this battle well, it can be regarded as helping me to avenge my revenge, I can be prepared for danger in times of peace, and it is even better to use razing to defeat raze, I am very pleased, I have no regrets!" ”

"My father has a good reputation, and this battle can go smoothly, thanks to the great grace of my father, because of the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, and the sons and ministers dare not take credit for themselves." Li Zhen humbly bowed down and replied.

"Well, okay, okay, okay, don't talk about that." When Li Shimin said this, he paused slightly, and suddenly said with a solemn expression: "I have been trapped in bed these days, and I have no power to do government affairs, and I can rest assured that I have returned, I have chosen a good day, and the 18th of October is located in Er, I hope that Er can guard against arrogance and rashness, and protect the eternal prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, can you do it?" ”

"Father, this matter must not be, your old dragon is still healthy, a little itch can be cured in a few days, the son is willing to take care of the government for his father, please take back your life." Li Zhen obviously didn't expect Li Shimin to say this, so he was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and admonishing.

"Idiots don't have to be like this, my body I know by myself, it's just a matter of breathing, and if I can drag it out for a day, it's just a day." Li Shimin waved his hand proudly and said: "I am already a dusk drum, but you are the morning bell, the Tang Dynasty is handed over to you, I am very relieved, you don't have to be a child, you are my son, you should show some domineering, don't lose my hope!" ”

"My father is very loving, and my sons and daughters should work hard to make the country prosperous, and do their best for the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, and die for themselves!" As soon as he heard his own Lao Tzu say this, a wave of pride immediately surged in Li Zhen's heart, and he was no longer hypocritical, raised his head, looked at Li Shimin with blazing eyes, and replied generously.

"You can only be trusted, I only have a word, you must know that water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, for the monarch must have the people in his heart, always forget, never forget, in order to keep Yongchang, these truths are known, I will not say more, I am most proud of this life is to have such a son, as for the rest, alas......" Li Shimin thought of the kings' deeds, his heart couldn't help but darken, and he couldn't continue.

Speaking of the fate of the kings, Li Zhen didn't know what to say - among the fourteen sons born to the old man, Li Kuan, Li Huan, and Li Jian died early, Li Zhi died unexpectedly, and the abolished prince Li Chengqian, King Li You of Qi, Li Ke of Wu, Li Tai, King of Wei, and Li Su, King of Shu, successively raised troops to rebel, and the remaining King of Zhao Li Fu and King Li of Cao will be young next year, and the slightly older King Jiang Li Yun is a muddy person, with neither talent nor virtue, and he went early, basically never returned to Beijing, counting and counting, except for Li Zhen, It is only Li Shen, the king of Ji, who has not had a big mistake, and it is a troublesome thing for anyone to fall on such things, not to mention Li Shimin, who has always been known for his wisdom and martial arts.

"Zhen'er, Guozuo entrusts Yu'er, I can rest assured, but, well, it's just, alas, your unsuccessful brothers I really don't know what to do with them, Zhen'er thinks this matter should be over?" Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, and opened his mouth bitterly.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the kings have been imprisoned in the Daming Palace and become prisoners of the ranks, but Li Shimin has never ordered the punishment of the kings' sins, which means that Li Zhen has a number in his heart, and the left and right are just that the old man's reluctant son will be killed again, but he is afraid that Li Zhen will be dissatisfied with this, so he simply pretended to be confused and dragged it down.

For this gang of bullshit brothers, Li Zhen has no good feelings, and has always been on guard, if it is from the perspective of the security of the throne, it is natural to get rid of the trouble, but in the face of the old man's gaze, Li Zhen really can't say this, think about it, the power of the kings has been completely eradicated, even if they want to continue to make trouble, there is no capital to make trouble, of course, even if they want to make trouble again in the future, Li Zhen does not take it to heart, but it is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, in this case, Li Zhen would not hurt the old man's heart because of this incident, so he muttered slightly: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the sons think that although the brothers are at fault, however, they have been punished, in the eyes of the sons, they will definitely regret it, but this mistake is too big, and it is too big to release the hearts of the ministers and workers, so it is better to place them in their respective palaces, and take strict care of the Yulin army. ”

Li Shimin was originally worried that Li Zhen would pursue the sins of the kings, but at this time, seeing that Li Zhen took the initiative to exonerate the kings, and just confined their respective palaces and ended it, his mood was relieved, and he nodded with satisfaction: "If I want to pass it on to Er, this family should be handled by Er, and since you think it is appropriate, then you will do it according to Er's will, well, after the eighteenth, you will deal with it yourself, and I will no longer ask." ”

"Yes, my son obeys." Li Zhen didn't refuse, and bowed down to answer the promise.

Li Shimin was very happy when he saw that Li Zhen agreed, and nodded with a smile, but then his brows furrowed again, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "Zhen'er, I still have something to promise, but it's just ......."

"Father, if you have something to do, even if you have something to order, it is within the son's duty to share the worries of your father." Seeing this, Li Zhen was suspicious, but her face was still very flat.

"Zhen'er, I don't have many friends with the horns, only the auxiliary machine is one ear, I said that I want to protect his glory and wealth, now that I am old, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of him anymore, are you willing to help me take care of it more?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhen deeply, and asked with a look of anticipation.

Sure enough, that's the problem! Li Zhen as a traveler, since he clearly came from that time and space, Li Shimin also said the same thing to the successor Li Zhi, when Li Shimin hesitated before, Li Zhen faintly guessed what Li Shimin was going to say, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated, after a little thought, he nodded and replied: "My father has this wish, and my son is full of wealth and wealth since he should be a protector, please rest assured." ”

Although Li Zhen's words were answered briskly, he actually left a tail inside-to ensure his wealth, not glory, which means that he will not harm the life of the eldest grandson Wuji, let him be a rich man, but it is impossible to let him hold the power of the government like now, Li Shimin naturally understands this, but it is not easy to say anything, after all, Li Zhen is a very assertive person since he was small, if he decides something, it is difficult for others to change it, Li Shimin can't do it, and besides, since this family has to be handed over to Li Zhen to be the master, He naturally wants to use his own people, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier is this truth, at this time, seeing that Li Zhen promised not to hurt the eldest grandson Wuji, it can be regarded as having an explanation of his encounter with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin didn't want to embarrass Li Zhen too much, so he nodded silently, and agreed with Li Zhen's words.

"Well, I believe that you can do everything for me, it's not too early, you rushed all the way, go back to the palace early to rest, tomorrow, the government affairs of the court will be taken care of by you, you have to bother more, go." Li Shimin's words have been explained, and as soon as his heart is over, the original agitated mood has calmed down, and the whole person's spirit immediately became a little weak, leaned back on the couch, waved his hand hard, and signaled Li Zhen to retire.

"Father, you have to repay the dragon body, and the child will retire first." Although Li Zhen was very worried about Li Shimin's health, she also knew that it was not appropriate to disturb Li Shimin's recuperation too much at this time, so she respectfully bowed, and then slowly withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace, and had no intention of staying in the palace for more, so she went out of the palace gate and immediately led the crowd to the city.

Got the promise of the old man's succession, so many years of the road to the heir is over, it stands to reason that Li Zhen should be excited, but for some reason, Li Zhen's heart does not have much excitement, but there is a dazed in the heart, especially the old man's words of "dusk drum and morning bell" made Li Zhen sad, looking back at the difficulties and sufferings along the way, and then thinking of Li Shimin's aging and haggard face, thousands of emotions, thousands of sighs made Li Zhen's heart feel uncomfortable, Thinking all the way, thinking about it, the person had arrived in front of the East Palace, sitting on horseback, completely forgetting everything around him, until a crisp children's voice: "Father." sounded, Li Zhen suddenly woke up, and when she looked at it, it turned out that it was Xiao Li Chun who ran in front of the horse.

"Chun'er." Looking at Xiao Li Chun's innocent face, Li Zhen's eyes immediately moistened, jumped off the war horse, and hugged Xiao Li Chun in his arms, feeling something in his heart - today's morning bell is tomorrow's twilight drum, birth, old age, sickness and death, generation alternation is normal feelings, living and fighting, it is enough to comfort life, this has been the case in ancient times, and it is the same now.

"Father, you can be regarded as back, Chun'er misses his father." Xiao Li Chun leaned on Li Zhen's arms very happily and shouted crisply.

"Hahaha, my father also misses Chun'er, let's go, go home!" Li Zhen lovingly lifted Xiao Li Chun above his head, laughed and put it on his neck, and strode towards the concubines who were already waiting at the palace gate, with firm and powerful steps......
