On October 27, the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin buried Taiwu Emperor Li Yuan in Xianling.

On 30 November, Xiao Yan, who was awarded the title of "Special Advancement," participated in the government.

After burying the emperor Li Yuan, Li Shimin resigned for two months and let the crown prince supervise the country.

It was not until the third day of the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636) that Li Shimin took charge of political affairs again at the invitation of many courtiers.

On the 22nd day of the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin ordered to change the title of Li Yuanjing as King Jing, Li Yuanchang as King of Han, Li Yuanli as King Xu, Li Yuanjia as King Han, Li Yuan as King Peng, Li Yuanyi as King Zheng, Li Yuanliang as King Huo, Li Yuanfeng as King Yu, Li Yuanqing as King Dao, and Li Lingkui as King Yan.

Li Ke is the king of Wu, Li Tai is the king of Wei, and Li ... For the king of Qi, Li Chenyin as the king of Shu, Li Yun as the king of Jiang, Li Zhen as the king of Yue, Li Shen as the king of Ji, on March 23, Li Shimin appointed the vassal kings as the governor.

In April of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun became seriously ill again.

Because she has been lingering on the sickbed for more than a year, and she has been back and forth, Li Shimin and several of her children were not too worried at first.

But when her condition worsened day by day, the whole person had lost weight to the point of losing shape, and when Imperial Doctor Jiang and Sun Simiao, who was forcibly left in Beijing by the emperor, refused to prescribe her medicine anymore, they finally panicked.

But it's useless to panic, in the face of death, everyone is equal, a mortal, no matter how noble he is in life, he can't fight with Hades when he is about to die.

When a few of them reached their age, Li Shimin was ready to let them stay on the vassal king.

Although these princes are not the biological sons of the eldest grandson, they all have to call the eldest grandson a mother, and if the eldest grandson really has three long and two short, they all need to keep filial piety to the queen.

Seeing that his wife's illness was getting worse day by day, and the imperial doctors were helpless, Li Shimin was anxious and recalled the proposal of the prince in the eighth year of Zhenguan, he was afraid that his wife would not agree, and it was not good to pardon the prisoner and ask someone to do things, but he found another way.

He ordered the rebuilding of more than 390 abandoned temples across the country to pray for his beloved wife, but such a touching love between husband and wife, mother and son, but after all, he still failed to take back the queen's life from the hands of death.

By the end of May, Empress Eldest Sun had been in a coma for most of the time, and the flame of life was already inaudible and could be extinguished at any time.

Li Shimin's temper became extremely irritable, and any unsatisfactory thing would make him furious.

Originally, seeing that the queen was seriously ill, the concubines with different hearts were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, when they came to visit the queen every day, everyone's faces were full of sorrow, and they never dared to show the slightest hint of schadenfreude on their mouths and faces.

Even Concubine Yin De, who had never dealt much with the queen, carefully put away her temper and claws, and did not dare to say half a word unfavorable to the queen, and the entire palace was filled with a strong sadness.

On June 15, the eldest grandson, who had been in a coma for eight or nine days, suddenly woke up, and not only woke up, but her spirit was much better than before, as if she had suddenly recovered from a serious illness.

Jinyang, Chengyang and Li Zhi who surrounded her were overjoyed, and they rushed to the couch to call the queen mother, and the tears in their eyes flowed out unconsciously.

When the eldest grandson saw her children, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and caress their heads.

But when she wanted to stretch out her hand, she found that her body was as soft as a ball of cotton, and she couldn't even lift a finger, so she had no choice but to whisper to comfort: "Okay, don't cry, the queen mother is fine." ”

Prince Li Chengqian, Yue Wang Li Tai, Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang, these older children, not only did not have any joy in their hearts when they saw this, but they were unconsciously full of fear.

They are not children anymore, so they naturally know that people who have been lying on the couch for a long time, and it is not necessarily a good thing that they suddenly sober up and are in a much better spirit than before, especially the eldest grandson, who has even been declared incurable by Sun Simiao Sun Divine Doctor.

She had been asleep for so long, and she couldn't even feed the decoction during her sleep, and now she suddenly woke up and was in good spirits, and there was almost only one possibility, that is, to return to the light.

They didn't dare to say anything, and there was still a faint expectation in their hearts, hoping that the eldest grandson would really get better.

The eldest grandson comforted a few young children, and then looked at the people on the periphery.

She found that in addition to her children, all the concubines in the palace were there, not only that, but their children were also there, seeing this scene, the smile that had just surfaced on the eldest grandson's face unconsciously turned bitter.

"Mother, mother." So the people who were swept by her gaze all stepped forward and called softly.

"Gao Ming, what about your father, bring him over, the queen mother has something to say to him." Empress Changsun ignored these people, she slowly glanced at everyone, withdrew her gaze, and finally stopped at the crown prince Li Chengqian.

"My father has some things, he went out, and when the mother woke up, Aunt Ugly had already gone to look for him." Li Chengqian said.

He looked at the appearance of the eldest grandson, and as soon as he spoke, his eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.

"Gao Ming, you are the crown prince, don't shed tears at every turn." Seeing this, the eldest grandson said again.

"Gao Ming knows, Queen Mother." Li Chengqian choked up and responded.

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at this son with complicated eyes, then looked at the crown princess Su Shi who was standing behind him, and slowly lowered her gaze.

Although the prince is very good in the eyes of outsiders, only she knows that this child is not tough and resolute enough.

His life is too smooth, from birth to the present, this child has hardly suffered any setbacks, and with himself and the emperor to protect him, he has the prestige and status he has now.

But no one can say what kind of changes will happen to people who are too smooth in life once they encounter setbacks, especially since this child's nature is far less tenacious and resolute than his father.

None of the concubines in this palace are simple, there are many outstanding princes, once there is no mother of himself, can the crown prince still be as stable as now?

"Guanyin maid ......" Just when Empress Changsun had mixed feelings in her heart and was full of emotions, Li Shimin, who learned that she had woken up, had hurried over.

"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson pressed his heart and set his eyes on him.

"Guanyin, you ......" Li Shimin walked to the edge of the couch and reached out to gently hold her skinny hand.

"Your Majesty, let them go out first, the concubine has a few words she wants to say to Your Majesty alone." Empress Eldest Sun looked at him quietly and spoke.

"You all go out and let me talk to the queen properly." Li Shimin pressed his heart and turned his eyes to say a word to everyone present.

The emperor spoke, and no matter what everyone was thinking, they could only retreat outside the hall.

After everyone left, Li Shimin's eyes fell on his wife's already thin face, and he said with a little choked: "Guanyin maid ......"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the concubine won't be able to accompany you anymore, if you like Lu Niang, marry her." The eldest grandson's gaze fell on her husband, and after a while, he slowly spit out such a sentence from his mouth.
