In this world where imperial power is supreme, turning a family into a country is the ultimate goal of all families.

Because in this world, there is only one family that can have all the glory and spend tens or hundreds of years illustriously.

That's royalty.

Not to mention the Son of Heaven sitting in the palace, just in terms of a vassal king, a powerful family needs tens of hundreds of years of accumulation to become the crown family of the world, and a vassal king only needs to be born in the royal family, and he can surpass the supremacy of this family in terms of power and wealth.

Moreover, this kind of long-standing crown clan must always be vigilant, and it cannot really anger the Son of Heaven head-on, otherwise the family will be destroyed, and it will be in the mind of the Son of Heaven.

In the world, this family was the Li family.

In the Li family, there are several people whose status is different, and one of them is the eldest princess of Pingyang.

Theoretically speaking, Fang Xuanling, the most trusted prime minister by Li Shimin today, was promoted by the eldest princess of Pingyang and then sent to the Qin Palace.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the eldest princess of Pingyang was also one of the people who contributed the most.

During the Wude period, the eldest princess of Pingyang served as the prime minister for several years, and later guarded Jinyang, and in the Xuanwumen Change, she played a great role, and joined forces with Luo Xuanye to control the inner court.

She is a role model that many women today aspire to and look up to.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, the eldest princess of Pingyang gradually left the center of the imperial court, and only hung the official position of inspecting the school in the book, which had something to do with her husband and godson, but the most important thing was that she was in poor health.

Perhaps only Ji Zhao knows that Li Xiuning has lived many years longer than in history, which can be said to be a blessing.

But the fate of life and death is in the sky, manpower can only be delayed, Li Xiuning is contaminated, his expression is becoming more and more depressed, looking at Li Xiuning, who is becoming more and more haggard, Luo Xuanye only feels like a heart-wrenching pain, he can only turn to Luo Su and Luo Xuanjing, the two medical saints in Luo's family.

Looking at Luo Xuanye, who was crying in front of him, Luo Su bent down and touched his head, with endless pity in his eyes, and said softly: "Ah Ye, do you remember that you once told me that you were worried about Li Shimin's deep life?"

How can you do the same yourself now? ”

Luo Xuanye became more and more sad when he heard this, and Luo Su sighed and said, "Ah Jing said that he can only cultivate, right?" Let's go, go to your house. ”

There are only a few people who can pull Luo Xuanjing, who compiles the history of the country, out of the Hongwen Pavilion, but after Luo Xuanjing saw it, he said that "the energy is so far, it is not a matter of medicine stone".

Luo Xuanye knew how superb her sister's medical skills were, and if she said this kind of judgment, it would basically be hopeless, but Luo Xuanye still entered the Lingtian Pavilion.

Walking into the Pingyang Princess's Mansion, the slightly simple and plain hospital bed, the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance permeates the gauze tent, although it is daytime, there are still candles flickering, and the firelight is reflected on the carved beams.

Luo Su saw the haggard Li Xiuning, her face was pale, and she was placed in a porcelain bowl next to her, and there was a slightly black medicinal soup in it, and the smell of medicine came from there.

More than 20 years have passed since the two met for the first time, and the little girl who was not yet in time is now even a daughter who can get married.

"Ancestor."

Li Xiuning saw Luo Su walk in when she was half asleep, in fact, she didn't really see Luo Su's appearance, but she saw the light break into her world, so she knew that it was Luo Su.

Luo Xuanye walked quickly to the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiuning's cold hand, and said softly: "Madam, it's the ancestor who is here." ”

Li Xiuning completely opened her eyes, she was very weak, Princess Pingyang, who was able to go to the battlefield at the beginning, was now like a weak willow supporting the wind, and said in a low voice: "It is Xiuning's sin to disturb the old ancestor Qingxiu." ”

Luo Su sat one meter away from the hospital bed, looked at Li Xiuning's eyebrows carefully, and then said to Luo Xuanye: "Xuanye, you go to the door, I have something to say." ”

When Luo Xuanye heard this, he got up and left and walked to the door, Li Xiuning asked with some loss when he saw this: "Ancestor, am I unable to hold on?" ”

Luo Su shook his head and nodded, "I don't know, you still have some vitality, but it's very messy, let's do something quickly." ”

Li Xiuning's eyes flashed dimly, and she was excited again, after all, she was a heroic daughter who came down from the battlefield, "Weiwei's marriage is difficult to manage, Jun Zhuo is still too young, Jun Cheng's marriage, I hope to see it with my own eyes." ”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

Luo Su sighed and said: "You are sick, just let Juncheng and Changle get married, and give you joy, although it is useless, it is also a blessing." ”

It is a good thing to pray for the elders with marriage.

"The old ancestor separated his husband, was he worried that he would hear the news that I was going to die?

He actually had a hunch.

I was worried about him, a man who looked cold, but who had a fire in his heart, warmer than anyone else. ”

Luo Su turned his head and glanced at Luo Xuanye, "He always says that love is not long, but he doesn't know that he is the most affectionate person, so you have to insist more, willpower is the most miraculous thing in the world." ”

Li Xiuning closed his eyes slightly, Luo Su originally wanted to ask Li Xiuning some questions, but now it seems that there is no need to ask, he beckoned Luo Xuanye to come back, and then left Princess Pingyang's mansion.

"What can be cured is called disease, and what cannot be cured is called life, and when life is counted, what room for struggle is there?"

……

Li Xiuning's last wish before his death was to see Luo Juncheng and Princess Changle get married.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun made a decree with tears in their eyes, letting Luo Juncheng and Princess Changle get married, and Li Shimin and Empress Changsun prepared a huge dowry for Princess Changle, which was several times that of Li Shimin's sister when she got married.

As one of Li Shimin's most favored daughters, plus marrying Luo Xuanye's son and his sister's last wish, Li Shimin's only wish is to finish this wedding in a beautiful way.

If it were according to normal days, Wei Zheng and the others would have to stop it, but in the face of Li Xiuning's situation, after thinking about it, forget it, just don't see it.

……

The autumn rain is swaying, the wisps are intertwined in the air, the willow leaves have fallen, only the branches are hanging low, and the drizzle gently beats the bluestone slab, like the strings plucking out a lonely melody.

On the stone road, the raindrops fell quietly, leaving a circle of ripples, Li Xiuning snuggled in Luo Xuanye's arms, listened to the sound of autumn raindrops outside the window, and said softly: "Husband, I'm a little cold and a little hot." ”

Luo Xuanye held Li Xiuning's hand and shook it, and then forcibly restrained it, he never trembled on the battlefield, but now he only felt fear, "Madam, Cheng'er and Changle are about to get married, didn't you always want Changle to give you tea?"

In the future, you can ask Changle to serve you tea every day. ”

Li Xiuning laughed softly when she heard this: "Changle is not a maid in the house, what is it like to give me tea every day, if I can see Cheng'er get married, I will die without regrets." ”

Luo Xuanye patted Li Xiuning lightly and said softly: "It's almost fast, Your Majesty and I are doing this as quickly as possible." ”

After a long time, Luo Xuan's night shot became lighter and lighter, tears fell on Li Xiuning's face, and the whimpering sound that he endured was instantly amplified and full of pain.

Luo Junwei and Luo Juncheng, who had been guarding outside, heard their father's cry, and hurriedly pushed the door in, and then saw their mother lying quietly in their father's arms, asleep.

They instantly understood that their mother had died.

After all, I couldn't see Luo Juncheng's marriage!

They could only kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, venting the sadness in their hearts.

When Li Xiuning's obituary reached the palace, Li Shimin couldn't believe it, and even asked, "Is it my sister?" Not another Binh Duong? ”

Where in the world will there be another Pingyang?

He could only accept the reality, the pen in his hand fell to the ground in an instant, and the ink smeared the words on the paper, but he didn't care about these anymore, only tears.

"It is rumored that the king of Zhou, the lord of Anle, and the prince of Zhou have entered the palace."

……

Luo Xuanye walked in the princess's mansion, where he lived for many years, starting with the wedding when he got married.

Luo Junwei, Luo Juncheng, and Luo Junzhuo were all born here.

It doesn't seem to have changed much, the walls of the mansion are a little old, some of the bricks and stones are slightly damaged, and the bluestone in front of the door and in the courtyard bears the traces of age.

On weekdays, I feel quite charming, but today it makes Luo Xuanye feel a chill, directly into his heart, a cool breeze blows, and he involuntarily wraps the clothes on his body.

But how can the lonely chill born from the heart be kept out by clothes?

The fallen leaves of the house are flying in the autumn wind, and the withered yellow leaves fall to the ground at will.

I didn't see the bustling maids on weekdays, and there was even a layer of ash on it, and there were small pebbles, which were blown from the backyard.

Luo Xuanye looked at the withered broken leaves, and felt a sense of loneliness that filled the tip of his nose spread to the tip of his heart.

Luo Juncheng followed behind his father, full of worry.

The death of his mother made Luo Juncheng very sad, but this kind of sadness is not the same as Luo Xuanye.

As a child, from the day I became sensible, I knew that my parents would definitely pass away, and this kind of psychological preparation has been done for more than ten years, or even decades, and when it really comes to that day, although it is sad, it can be accepted.

And between husband and wife, supporting each other, thinking and thinking is to go to the end together, this sudden passing is difficult to accept.

Since Li Xiuning was restrained, Luo Xuanye has been like this.

Touching the scene is emotional, but touching the sad scene, how can it be a happy feeling?

Luo Xuanye recalled every place in the mansion where he had gotten along with Li Xiuning, and muttered to himself: "After all, we have to go, we have to go." ”

Everyone will go, including himself, fifty years of life, like a dream and an illusion, just like this broken leaf all over the ground, what is the essential difference between man and broken leaf?

It's just that one has a longer lifespan, and the other can only be brilliant for a round of spring and autumn, and it will eventually be annihilated.

People will always have some insights about life and death after experiencing some things, and now Luo Xuanye has such a state.

So Luo Junchengcai was very worried.

But he understands his father very well, if Changle has an accident, Luo Juncheng doesn't know what state he will be.

The housekeeper hurriedly walked in from the outside and whispered in Luo Juncheng's ear, Luo Juncheng's expression was grim, and then he whispered to Luo Xuanye: "Father, Your Majesty summoned us. ”

Although Luo Xuanye was immersed in memories, he was not deaf to the outside world, he did not restrain the vicissitudes of life on his body, and turned to face Luo Juncheng and said: "Let's go, enter the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

Luo Xuanye, Luo Juncheng, and Luo Junwei entered the palace together, and went straight into the inner hall, and after seeing Li Shimin, they found that Li Shimin's hair was also a little messy, and the eyes of the two big men were red.

When the two saw each other, they immediately held hands, and Li Shimin burst into tears again, "Qingyang, I want to comfort you, but I can't help myself. ”

I want to comfort you, but I can't help myself.

Sincere and down-to-earth, Luo Xuan couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister understands, the minister understands." ”

Luo Juncheng and Luo Junwei knelt on the ground, Li Shimin walked over, pulled both of them up, and pulled one in one hand, "Go, uncle will take you to the Taiji Palace." ”

After arriving at the Taiji Palace, Luo Xuanye found that the prime ministers and many important ministers had also arrived.

Everyone was sitting in a precarious position, with a solemn expression on their faces, and when they saw Luo Xuanye walk in, Fang Xuanling and Wei Chigong came up and said as soon as possible: "The princess is jealous of her heroic appearance, and the county king mourns on her day." ”

"Thank you."

Luo Xuanye's voice was a little hoarse, Li Shimin pulled the two children out, sat on the throne, and said directly without the slightest nonsense: "My imperial sister has passed away, and the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty has passed away."

My imperial sister is not only the patriarch of the royal family, but also an important minister of the country, and I want to posthumously crown the imperial sister as the Taifu, the Yongzhou Mu, and the eldest princess of Pingyang in Tiansheng Town.

There is also a nickname, do you have any proposals from this prince? ”

Hearing this series of posthumous seals given by Li Shimin, Yongzhou Mu is more conventional, and the rest are more outrageous, but Li's artistic cells are relatively strong, and he likes to engage in these special titles.

The ministers had no opinion.

As for the nickname, this can't be messed around, it is to be presented to King Su, but with Li Xiuning's merits, as long as he doesn't give "Jingtianwei and Diwen", there is no problem with the rest.

Especially those nicknames that praise morality and grooming can be added to Li Xiuning.

Luo Xuanye suddenly said loudly: "Use 'call', the call of King Zhou Zhao." ”

Summon.

This is the original avoidance of the word "Zhao" and appeared, before the word "Zhao" was changed to "Cheng", and later changed back to "call".

Li Shimin finally had a smile after muttering two sentences, "If the call word is good, use the call word." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Pingyang summons the princess!

————

Pingyang Zhao Princess Xiuning, the daughter of Gaozu, the mother of Queen Taimu, the sister of Taizong, the wife of the king of Zhoujun, was smart and cunning when she was young, and her words were quite prosperous. ”

The princess said, "Women may not be inferior to men, so try it." "Gao Zuqi, and long, has a heroic posture, outstanding achievements, and the government and the opposition are important.

Zhenguan was seriously ill, in Chang'an, the emperor was very sad, dropped out of the dynasty for five days, gave the Taifu, the king of Zhoujun, and the princess moved to Zhaoling.

Pingyang summoned the princess to be cautious, plan and then act, can be broken in case of trouble, understand the civil and military, model among women, open a precedent for women to participate in politics, and write the constitution for future generations. - "Book of Tang: The Biography of the Princesses"
