Chapter 150: Li Shimin breaks the defense! This is how the Tang Dynasty should be!
Perhaps, His Highness is the only one who dares to scold Li Shimin so harshly.
He sighed in his heart.
At this time, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed, his eyes exploded in disbelief.
He was really at peace just now, immersed in Li Kuan's praise, and feeling relaxed.
But who could have imagined that, without any warning, a meteorite would fall from the sky and knock him to the ground. He almost couldn't even take a breath and was suffocated to death here.
He was confused!
He is stupid!
He was stunned!
Measure the material resources of the Tang Dynasty and bring happiness to the country!
Kneel down and lick the Turks!
Willing to be a dog!
Send your daughter to the Turks with your own hands, so that she can rest in peace for a day.
hiss…….
hiss…….
hiss…….
Li Shimin's breathing suddenly became rapid. In an instant, he could only inhale but not exhale.
Empress Changsun looked shocked. She quickly supported Li Shimin and beat Li Shimin's back frantically.
"Your Majesty, can you still read?"
The old man looked at him, was silent for a while, and then asked.
"Read...read...read..."
"continue!"
"Cough cough cough......"
Li Shimin was coughing like crazy and could no longer straighten his waist.
One hand firmly grabbed his knee.
Eyes are red.
It seemed like it was about to bulge out.
He never expected that Kuan'er would give such a comment to Datang!
The old man nodded.
"Father, seeing you like this, I really feel pity for you."
"Have mercy on the world, have mercy on the people, and have mercy on Changle!"
"What does little Changle know? He was still young, but he was given to the Turks by his weak-boned father."
"You keep saying that it is for the world, for the Tang Dynasty, and for the people. What you say is better than what you sing. But! I want to ask you a question, have you considered it for Changle?"
"Changle is also a common people of the Tang Dynasty! Since you are a common people, as the emperor, I believe that even if you die, you must defend the dignity of Changle!"
"But that's not the case now. Today's Tang Dynasty is not what I want to see. The Tang Dynasty I want to see is one where there is no marriage, no compensation, no land ceding, no tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country!"
"Every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, I, the Tang Dynasty... were not allowed to be ruined by you like this! I hope you will be safe!
"
The old man read out the last three words, and his eyes moved from the letter to Li Shimin again.
Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on the old man.
His lips were trembling crazily.
His face was pale, and big beads of sweat kept falling down.
"Your Majesty, I have finished reading this letter. This is Your Highness's letter. I have placed it here. I will take my leave."
The old man gently placed the letter on the table next to him, then turned around and left.
There was no sound at all in the Li Zheng Hall.
There was only the sound of the old man's footsteps.
When the footsteps went away, only the sound of rapid breathing was left.
Li Shimin swallowed hard.
His eyes remained motionless, completely locked on the paper on the table.
Shoulders shaking.
The soul is frightened.
Lip twitching.
Legs feel weak.
"If there is no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die..."
"I...I...I...cough cough cough..."
When Li Shimin spoke, his voice was choppy, his throat was unbearably hoarse, and he coughed several times.
Suddenly, he covered his mouth with his hands.
A mouthful of blood was coughed up by him.
"His Majesty!
"
Li Junxian yelled.
"Your Majesty, call the doctor quickly!
"
Queen Changsun exclaimed.
"No!"
Li Shimin grabbed Empress Changsun's arm tightly, shouted lowly, and said: "Close the door, I...I...I was wrong."
Then, Li Shimin gave a long filial piety and fell to the ground.
The anger attacks the heart and causes temporary coma.
Maybe he was scolded by Li Kuan's letter.
However, it is more likely that I am just angry with myself.
Chang'an.
The night is silent.
The watchman has struck the ugly hour.
Everything is silent.
At this point, even the scholars who stay up late to read have already fallen asleep.
However, the back hall of the princess's mansion was still brightly lit.
Li Lizhi was sitting in the room, not sleepy at all, her eyes as wide as bells, staring at the flickering candlelight in front of her.
She couldn't sleep.
I can't even close my eyes.
She tried to close her eyes just now, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt that the whole world was spinning in an instant, and scenes after scenes flashed across the faces of the Turkic barbarians in her mind.
Jieli Langya rushed towards him crazily, and he was like a rabbit among wolves in the grassland.
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out.
Princess Changle was so frightened that she sat up.
"King Chu...Second brother...you should get the news quickly. I don't know where you are now."
Changle murmured to himself, and the corners of his eyes became moist again unconsciously.
Sobbed slightly.
Her last hope now is King Chu.
My father is determined.
Neither can the Queen Mother, nor the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
No one will speak for him, except King Chu.
However, Princess Changle knew in her heart that her expectations for King Chu were like the last straw in her mind.
King of Chu…….
Even if he is the King of Chu, it will be very difficult to save himself from this matter.
What's more, the King of Chu doesn't know where he is at this time.
If the message is sent, it will probably take less than three or four days to receive it at all. If there is a slight delay, it will take ten days and a half.
When the time comes, I will...
"woo woo woo woo……."
After thinking about it, even Princess Changle, who had always been a graceful and graceful lady, couldn't help but cry. She cried louder and louder, sobbing softly, and turned into covering her face and crying.
One person, one light, and one cry.
miserable.
Lonely.
helpless.
Outside the door, two maids also heard the cry. They wanted to go in, but what could they do if they went in?
The two of them sat on the steps at the door with their heads lowered. After a while, their clothes were soaked with tears.
….…….……….
Imperial City.
Li Zheng Palace.
Li Shimin woke up.
He was only unconscious for a short time.
Sitting on the bed, his face was pale, the dry skin on his lips was raised, his eyes were dull, and his whole body was extremely depressed.
Empress Changsun sat on one side extremely worried.
Li Shimin said nothing.
His head was pressed against the deep support of the bed, and he stared blankly at the letter on the table.
Since ancient times, I have scolded my sons.
But this time, he was actually pointed at his head and scolded by his own son.
However, Li Shimin does not blame Li Kuan.
It's really not surprising.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... drink some, drink some water."
Queen Changsun held the cup and said softly to Li Shimin.
Her eyes were also full of worry.
No one thought, really... no one thought that this matter would suddenly develop to this point.
Even Empress Changsun was completely surprised.
King Chu, how did he know everything that happened in Chang'an?
Moreover, the time is still so short.
It’s only been one day!
No!
A careful calculation showed that it only took half a day. Not only did King Chu know about it, he also sent a reply back.
Especially the content of this letter!
Too…….
Empress Changsun really wanted to grab Li Kuan and beat her up. What she said was too...too...too...for an emperor to accept.
Kneel down and lick the Turks!
With the material resources of the Tang Dynasty, we gained the favor of the country.
Especially what Li Kuan himself said at the end was like a spear, directly piercing the last line of defense in Li Shimin's heart.
Look at the past dynasties.
Listening to that one makes people excited and makes it difficult to control themselves.
When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he directly came to use the material resources of the Tang Dynasty to win the favor of the country.
This puts His Majesty directly on the pillar of shame.
Too cruel!
This brat...
Empress Changsun really didn’t know what to say about Li Kuan.
However, hearing these words really makes people feel... inexplicably happy.
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
He took the water glass, his stiff eyes moved, and he looked at Queen Changsun next to him.
"Mr. Guanyin, please bring me that letter."
“I….give me a look.”
Li Shimin pursed his chapped lips and spoke slowly.
He didn't call himself me, he felt he was unworthy, really unworthy.
An emperor should consider the people, yes! Kuan'er is right, if at some point, someone wants to harm his people, he must step over him.
However, I am better off.
When encountering danger, he just pushes the people in front of him as a shield.
"Hahaha……."
Li Shimin is funny.
He laughed at himself because he was powerless, at himself for being as timid as a mouse, and at himself for not being worthy of being an emperor.
If you laugh at yourself, you are not worthy of being a father.
Empress Changsun just held Li Shimin's hand.
"Guanyin Maid, bring it here."
Li Shimin said it again.
Queen Changsun stood up. She didn't want to take it. This letter really stimulated Li Shimin too much.
But... He simply couldn't refuse Li Shimin's will.
Li Shimin took it, spread the letter, and placed it on his legs.
Looking at the lines of characters like dragons and phoenixes dancing above, Li Shimin's face turned blue and purple, uncertain.
Just now he was just listening, not watching.
Looking at it now, he can feel from these words Li Kuan's hatred when he wrote the letter.
And Li Kuan’s suppressed anger!
In the words above, some of the strokes seemed not to be intended to write this word, but they were twisted back in the end.
Li Kuan was just controlling himself.
If you don't control it, I'm afraid you will be scolded to death directly.
Li Shimin could understand every word.
Lips, trembling.
The corners of his eyes twitched.
His whole hand was trembling.
This letter is almost unbearable.
His throat was sweet and he wanted to spurt blood again.
Li Kuan's letter... made him feel ashamed to live!
If it spread, he would want to find a place to kill himself.
"Your Majesty, Kuan'er definitely didn't mean this. He just... just wanted to persuade Your Majesty, and he had absolutely no other ideas."
"Your Majesty is devoted to the people, and I know that. It's just that this choice was a little reckless and abrupt."
Queen Changsun stood by and hurriedly explained to the two of them.
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
He shook his head.
"Stop talking, Maid Guanyin, I... I was wrong. Kuan'er is right. No marriage, no indemnity, no cession of land, no tribute. The emperor guards the country, and the king dies. This is what our Tang Dynasty should be.
So majestic, this should be the... bloody nature of my Datang!
"
"This letter is great! It's well written! I want to thank Kuan'er a lot. To be honest, I can't even compare with Kuan'er in terms of layout."
"Presumably, Kuan'er will be very disappointed with me when he receives this news. Think about the things we took out from Prince Chu's Mansion."
"These things, no matter which emperors in the past dynasties, can create a prosperous era. Now, we have got them all, but they are still so bloodless, and we are still facing the Turks."
"Even... even more serious than before, I have to send... my daughter as a gift, hahaha..."
"Look, look, compare, I am really worse than those ordinary people. People would rather starve to death than protect their children. No matter what, they will choose a path for their children. But what about me?
?”
"I want to push my daughter into the fire pit with my own hands. I...I...hahaha..."
Li Shimin laughed.
He laughed without any reservation, and his laughter filled the entire Li Zheng Hall. He was just smiling, and the tears directly flooded his eyes.
Like a flood.
Talking endlessly.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth trembled crazily.
Trembling wildly.
"I...I...I am ashamed of the people, I am ashamed of Changle, and I am ashamed of the Tang Dynasty!
"
"Guanyin, Guanyin, I was wrong, I was wrong!
"
Li Shimin hugged Empress Changsun and finally couldn't help crying like crazy.
Empress Changsun patted Li Shimin's back gently.
"Your Majesty, it's not too late now, isn't it? There's still time, there's still time."
"No marriage, no indemnity, no cession of territory, no tribute. The emperor will guard the country, and the king will die in the country. Your Majesty, we in the Tang Dynasty can do it too!
"
"Being like this is worthy of me, the Tang Dynasty!
"
Queen Changsun said slowly.
Li Shimin nodded heavily.
He cried for a long time before slowly sitting up.
The eyes are red.
His face was still a little pale.
However, his spirit was no longer sluggish, he seemed to have found a new pillar of support, and his eyes glowed with light, a light that was brighter than the sun.
"Yes, Maid Guanyin, you are right. Kuan'er has already shaped the bones of the Tang Dynasty. I know how to do it."
"Change! Go to court!"
"
Li Shimin jumped out of bed and shouted loudly.
At this moment, the sky outside the window began to slowly turn white.
Before you know it, the time has come.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and nodded heavily.
She took the dragon robe and changed Li Shimin's clothes with her own hands.
Li Shimin sighed, both physically and mentally, and stood in front of the bronze mirror. He solemnly, solemnly, and carefully placed the letter written by Li Kuan close to his body.
"Guanyin, I... have gone."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left the Li Zheng Hall without looking back.
The interior decoration and Li Junxian were waiting in front of the door, and they hurriedly followed.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's back and let out a heavy breath.
"Kuan'er, you brat...hehehe, I'm proud of you."
"If you don't make peace, make indemnities, cede territory, or pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country and the king will die."
