The prophecy of the heroine in the world had been circulating in a small area before, but after Luo Su and Li Shimin's question, it suddenly became enthusiastic.

But most people take it as a joke.

Most people in the Central Plains don't know that there are already women in the Western Regions who have been emperors, but those who know will only think that the culture of the Western Regions is different from the Central Plains after all, and I, the Central Plains, am the reign of the Son of Heaven, will the emperor give a woman the mandate of heaven?

Compared with this prophecy, what attracted the attention of the people of the Tang Dynasty even more was the war that took place in the Protectorate of the Northern Metropolis of Anbei, only eight months after Li Ke went to Hala and Lin, the already powerful Xue Yantuo Khan launched the war.

The purpose of the war is very simple, that is, to seize the supreme power in Mobei, Xue Yantuo can tolerate the existence of the Tang Dynasty in Mobei, but it does not mean that he can accept a king from the Tang Dynasty and completely seize the supreme power here.

In particular, Li Ke convened the meeting of the Three Khans of Mobei, which was a naked seizure move.

Luo Su said before that the system of Tian Khan is a sharp weapon when it comes to the outside world, but the internal disputes are also very serious, just like the internal of the Central Plains.

The central court wanted to suppress the local forces, and the struggle between the central and local governments was persistent, and the same was true of the Heavenly Khan system.

Xue Yantuo and these tribes were willing to obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, but if the tentacles of the Tang Dynasty reached their side, they would rise up and resist.

Fortunately, Li Ke had been prepared, Xue Yantuo Mingyue Khan's attack on Hala and Lin leaked the news, Li Ke directly transferred away from Hala and Lin, after he retreated, he immediately issued another order, asking the tribes to follow him to crusade against Xue Yantuo, and at the same time, Xue Yantuo was also issuing an order, asking the tribes of Tiele to obey his orders.

By the time the war report was transmitted to Chang'an, the first war between the two sides had ended, and if there was no king who was in power, Chang'an would have gotten the news of the fall of the entire territory of Mobei.

The advantages of the feudal system, or the multi-political center, in suppressing the rebellion, were vividly demonstrated in the sudden outbreak of Xue Yantuo.

Some courtiers who did not approve of the division at the beginning also obediently shut their mouths in the face of iron-clad facts, and it was extremely stupid to fight against the wind politically.

Li Ke's letter required more authorization from the imperial court, more than the authorization of the Dadu Protectorate, so that he could have more space for vertical and horizontal cooperation on the grassland.

The Chang'an Imperial Court would not sit idly by and watch Li Ke and Xue Yantuo fight alone, Yan Wangke's move was very important to Li Shimin and Luo Su, and now Li Ke has not completely gained a foothold, and he still needs help from the Central Plains.

Just when the court was in full swing and ready to give Li Ke a lot of help, an extremely important event happened in the court.

Luo Xuanye, the king of Zhou County, is seriously ill!

This incident appeared like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone who heard it was in disbelief at first, but turned their heads and felt normal.

Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yiguo, is also seriously ill, and has been lingering on the sickbed and dying, and he will probably die in the next two years.

King Zhou Jun is not young, and it has been twenty years since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

King Zhou is said to have followed the national teacher from Winterfell City to travel tens of thousands of miles when he was a teenager, and he fought almost all the battles in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially before Wei Chigong and the others were not surrendered, he suffered so many injuries, and the generals who have always rushed into battle look strong on the surface, but basically when they are forty or fifty years old, their bodies will suddenly collapse.

The Duke of Yiguo, Qin Shubao and Zhou Junwang, are seriously ill.

There have been many martial generals in history who suddenly fell ill and died violently in just one or two days, and the divine doctor could not save them.

The reason why people can't believe it is because the position of King Zhou is too important, and although he doesn't talk much, he has a great role in the court.

Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, was able to make such a great contribution, but he was safe and secure without being suspicious of the Son of Heaven, because there was the king of Zhou Jun to balance him.

The eldest grandson and other relatives were able to keep to themselves because there was a relative of King Zhou Jun who suppressed it above.

The prince's position is stable, needless to say about the importance of King Zhou Jun, the queen has just died for a year, and King Zhou Jun is seriously ill, is this not God bless the prince?

Luo Xuanye is like a balancer, saving Li Shimin a lot of trouble, if something happens to Luo Xuanye, he will have to go down to deal with these in person, after all, where to find a person with a special identity like Luo Xuanye?

……

Zhou County Palace.

Since Luo Xuanye was seriously ill, there were not many people who came to visit, most of them came to give a gift, after all, most people did not have the qualifications to meet Luo Xuanye.

Those who came to visit him were close relatives and friends, and there is no need to say much about the few Luo's sons who are staying in Chang'an now.

The crown prince Li Chengqian dragged his lame legs, but he walked quickly, his face was very anxious, Luo Juncheng's face was full of sadness, and his father's sudden accident caught him off guard.

"Prince."

Luo Xuanye called out in an unprecedentedly warm voice, Li Chengqian cried all of a sudden, he swayed to the sickbed, and sobbed: "Uncle, teacher, how did you become like this?"

I'd like to let you see what it will be like for you to ascend the throne in the future.

I also think that in the future, not only will you be the prince and the prince, but you will be the prince and the princess, and you will definitely get better, right? ”

Taishi, Taibao, two of the three divisions, don't say that this official position was sealed during his lifetime, and until now, there is no seal after death.

When Li Shimin was the king of Qin, he was the second of the three princes, and he had already reached the top, and General Tiance and the crown prince were all under the third division.

Even if Li Chengqian really gave Luo Xuanye the third division, the courtiers would oppose it, but from Li Chengqian's words, it can be seen how sad he is and how deep his feelings are for Luo Xuanye.

Luo Xuanye looked at Li Chengqian, and suddenly recalled what the old ancestor Wengong had said, "Ah Ye, aren't you worried about any accidents?" ”

Now Luo Xuanye knows, it turns out that there will really be an accident, he will die, he has never thought about what to do if he dies suddenly.

"Is this the result of not leaving yourself a way out?"

Luo Xuanye muttered softly, and Li Chengqian asked with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

Luo Xuanye looked at Li Chengqian quietly, always thinking about what to say in his heart, "Prince, I will not be here in the future, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, so that your heart will be strong, as long as you don't mess around, your position as the crown prince is still stable."

Your Majesty will definitely come over after that, and I will say something to Your Majesty, and what will happen in the future is up to you. ”

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Before the words were finished, a voice came from outside, the Son of Heaven came faster than they imagined, you can know how anxious he was, in fact, after Li Shimin got the news, he immediately put down the key military affairs at hand, and left in a hurry to come to the Zhou County Palace.

After seeing Li Shimin walk in, Li Chengqian and Luo Juncheng saluted, then left the house, leaving the two of them to talk, and the father and son would always say a few words when they met on weekdays, but today Li Shimin was not in the mood, so he directly let Li Chengqian leave.

Li Shimin never thought that he would lose his relatives in a row, starting with his sister, then his father, then his wife, and now his best friend.

He sat in front of Luo Xuanye's sickbed in civilian clothes, looking at the porcelain that could save him from the army at the beginning, but now his face was pale as if it would be broken at any time.

"Qingyang, I ......"

Li Shimin just said a few words, but Luo Xuanye laughed and said to himself: "Your Majesty, do you know?

In the 1,600-year history of the Luo family, there have been countless famous ministers and famous generals, but in fact, most of the Luo family have never met the king who was willing to sacrifice for it.

Many Luo's sons do things step by step, and do things according to the loyalty and righteousness in the family style, such as my fourth brother, who has feelings with His Majesty and is loyal to His Majesty and Datang.

But it can't be compared with me, because His Majesty thinks that I am a relative, and he is just a simple courtier, so you will remove him twice because of some mistakes, but I have always been able to sit at the top of the political hall. ”

Hearing what Luo Xuanye said, Li Shimin's mood relaxed a little, and he said with a little nostalgia: "Yes, Qingyang, you have known each other since I was young, and I am my brother-in-law, after so many years, of course, it is not comparable to your fourth brother, this is human nature." ”

Luo Xuanye sighed with emotion, "Human nature.

Yes, love is exactly that.

I used to say that those who love deeply will not live, but I didn't expect it to happen to me.

Alas.

Every time I think of Xiuning in my dreams, my heart is like a knife, and as soon as my heart is scattered, the internal injuries in this body can't be suppressed. ”

Li Shimin empathized with Luo Xuanye's words, when Empress Changsun died, he couldn't eat, he looked haggard, and it was rare to set up a high platform in the palace, looking at Zhaoling from time to time.

Until now, every time he thinks of Empress Changsun, he still sheds tears.

Luo Xuanye said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to last a few days, if I don't say some things, I won't have a chance, after I die, the family won't need to say more, I can't persuade you, but Jun Cheng and Jun Zhuo are both courtiers left for the next generation, don't reward them with too high official positions."

Actually, the only thing I'm worried about is the prince.

Your Majesty, you have almost all the merits.

But you're too emotional.

I guess that before Empress Wende died, she must have said not to reward the eldest grandson family, but you still greatly promoted the eldest grandson family because you wanted to transfer your love for Empress Wende to the eldest grandson family.

If the crown prince does something you don't like, and the King of Wei can always please you, and Empress Wende and I are gone, who will advise you?

That's the only thing I'm worried about. ”

When Empress Eldest Sun died, she wasn't too worried, because there was still Luo Xuanye there, if she knew that Luo Xuanye would also die so soon, she wouldn't be so safe.

Now Luo Xuanye is like this, once he dies, he doesn't even dare to guess what the future will be.

As soon as a person dies, he can't help himself.

Before the two most important people died, they both told themselves about the crown prince, and Li Shimin held Luo Xuanye's hand and promised: "Qingyang, don't worry, I will definitely not favor King Wei." ”

……

"Ancestor, you're here."

Luo Xuanye looked at Luo Su and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Old Ancestor, you always looked at my eyebrows and eyes carefully, did you know that I was going to die?" ”

Luo Su said calmly: "Life and death are heavenly things, and it is the realm of King Su, how can I know about it? Even if I knew, I would only say one thing, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

It is worthy of the old ancestor, Luo Xuanye said secretly in his heart, but he knew that when the old ancestor said this, he actually told him.

"Old Ancestor, do you think that the crown prince is not enough to rule the world, so you said those words to the prince?"

Luo Su still said calmly: "There is nothing that is not enough to say that the king of the world, Li Shimin's sons are all about the same, there is no very outstanding, the most outstanding one is in Mobei, and he will not be able to come back for a lifetime."

It's just that Li Chengqian is a little weird, without the protection of you and his eldest grandson, he is a little difficult. ”

Luo Su has no feelings for Li Chengqian, he has no feelings for everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty, they are all chess pieces to achieve their goals, Yan Wang Ke is, the prince is, and so is King Wei.

Luo Xuanye was a little dumbfounded by Luo Su's words, and asked in a low voice for a long time: "Old ancestor, the crown prince and Jun Cheng are in the same breath, if there is a problem......

Please also ask the ancestors to show the way. ”

Luo Su asked interestingly: "You should have told the Son of Heaven about the prince, and now you are begging me again, you don't believe the promise of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Luo Xuanye was silent for a moment, and then nodded with difficulty: "That's right, I don't believe in His Majesty's assurance, I know him too well, and the prince didn't meet his requirements."

In the future, father and son will still have problems, and Li Jing and Wei Zheng are far from being able to compare with me. ”

Luo Su nodded and said, "You can see this, there is some growth.

Character determines fate, and after so many years, Li Chengqian's character has not changed essentially, so there will not be much change in the future.

But who can say for sure what the future will really be?

If the Son of Heaven dies suddenly and the crown prince succeeds to the throne, then nothing will happen next, so I never say that it will happen.

The general trend will not change, but the fate of the individual, that is not something I can speculate.

If you want me to pull the crown prince, and by the way, pull Jun Cheng, it's no problem, but I won't interfere with the heir of a dynasty.

I have already made some arrangements around Li Chengqian.

If I see an unpredictable imbalance between the Son of Heaven and the Crown Prince again, I will take action and give both of them a decent look. ”

Luo Xuanye put his mind at ease, he was a little tired, "I hope it won't come to that day."

Ancestor, I'm a little sleepy and can't send you anymore. ”

After saying that, he really fell asleep, Luo Su looked at Luo Xuanye, whose face was constantly showing death, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Goodbye to Valhalla." ”
