Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"The benevolent character is a hundred times better than the princes who grew up in those honeypots of yours."

"There are not many such good children in the world."

After hearing the words of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, Li Shimin only felt that his heart became much clearer in an instant.

It was as if at this very moment, he had become the upright Li Er and the brave Qin King back then.

Regarding Li Qiu's matter, he also had a final decision in his heart.

Looking ahead, Li Shimin's eye circles couldn't help but feel a little sour when the Taishang Emperor staggered slightly from the back in the dim light.

He bowed respectfully and saluted until the figure of the Supreme Emperor disappeared.

At this moment, the dissatisfaction he had suppressed in his heart before seemed to have faded a lot.

And his behavior behind him also fell into the corner of the Taishang Emperor's eyes.

For this, Li Yuan didn't have much reaction, but sighed softly in his heart.

Just when Li Shimin came out of the palace and came to the Supreme Emperor.

The old prince Luo Sen, who was already seriously ill, left the palace tremblingly in a bulky official uniform, got on a carriage and came to the gate of the palace.

According to the rules in the palace, carriages are not allowed to enter.

He even needs someone to support him when he walks normally, and he is extremely weak, just like this, one step at a time, walking towards the direction of the imperial study with great difficulty.

Slower than the average person crawls.

Among them, he was exhausted and fell down twice.

But even so, he still stood up slowly and continued to walk forward with difficulty.

He is the King of Beiping County, in Chang'an City, in the imperial palace, he is not highly regarded by others.

Now add the major incident that Li Qiu caused.

The eunuchs in the palace avoided him, let alone stepped forward to help him.

At the beginning, Li Shimin sent Li Qiu back to the Furong Garden and asked Feng Li to protect him.

The old county king was more optimistic in his heart.

He could sense that His Majesty did not want to punish Li Qiu too severely.

But today is the third day since the dossier of the joint trial of the three divisions was submitted to the emperor's desk.

The longer the time dragged on, the more hesitation in the emperor's heart.

Li Qiu and Kexin girl are more likely to be killed.

So at this time, he couldn't wait any longer.

Even if this old life is lost, these two children must be saved!

Finally, when he arrived at the gate of the imperial study, he was told that the emperor had left the palace.

Don't know when to come back.

Hearing this, the old prince didn't listen to the eunuch's persuasion and went back.

Instead, he knelt directly in front of the imperial study room.

Kneeling like this...

Chapter 238 I beg Your Majesty, save the lives of the two children

At the end of this cold winter, when the cold spring is expected.

The old prince knelt down from the afternoon until it was dark.

How could his body, which was already weak and sick for a long time, withstand this hunger, cold and toil?

In the end, I barely supported it with only the strength in my heart.

Finally, just when the time had come and the palace was about to be closed, and the eunuchs and guards in the palace were about to drive people away, Li Shimin returned.

"What? Rosen?"

"He has been kneeling at the door of the imperial study?!"

Li Shimin, who had just returned to the palace, immediately walked towards the imperial study room after hearing the eunuch's report.

When he came here, he saw that Rosen was still gritting his teeth weakly.

A face is also pale and sallow.

The next moment, Li Shimin was furious, pointing at the old prince and yelling at the eunuchs in the palace: "What are you still doing in a daze?!"

"Hurry up and carry Luo Sen to the imperial study!"

"Call the imperial doctor and prepare the ginseng tea!"

Seeing Li Shimin's return, the old prince finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With his body, he might not be able to survive a second time.

Just when he was about to salute, he was helped up by Li Shimin, and then shook his head in great pain.

"Hey! Why did you come here?!"

"Come into the house quickly, come in with me quickly."

Then, he glared at the group of eunuchs again, "Who is on duty today?"

"Did the Prince of Beiping come here?"

Hearing Li Shimin's angry shout, three or four eunuchs fell to their knees with a plop, admitting their mistake.

At this time, Li Shimin shook his head, "Do you know how much the King of Beiping County and their Luo family have contributed to this Great Tang?"

"What kind of feats have you made?!"

"In such a cold weather, and at his age, you just watch him kneel here?!"

"You people are really hateful!"

"All are severely punished according to the laws of the palace, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Afterwards, Li Shimin personally helped the old prince into the imperial study.

When the hot ginseng tea entered his mouth, the old prince finally regained some strength.

Then tremblingly, he knelt down to Li Shimin again.

"Your Majesty, the veteran also knows that the two children, Li Qiu and Ke Xin, made a big mistake and brought big troubles to His Majesty and the court."

"Now our Luo family only has such a meager bloodline left."

"The old minister came this time for no other reason than relying on his old face to beg Your Majesty to spare the lives of these two children."

"As for meritorious titles, glory and wealth, and family property, we don't need anything..."

"I beg you, old minister, for the sake of our Luo family guarding the frontier for the Great Tang for generations, and for the sake of my son Luo Cheng who died tragically, let them have a way out..."

Before the old prince finished speaking, Li Shimin directly helped him up.

"Oh, Rosen."

"Before I returned to the palace just now, I already made a decree."

"Let Feng Li withdraw his troops, and forgive Li Qiu and others for their innocence."

"This incident, if I am wrong, it is my fault, it is the fault of those officials who have lost their conscience."

"Li Qiu and these poor people, what could be wrong?!"

"Lawson, you said that you are so sick, why are you still tossing yourself like this?!"

"I will send someone to take you back to Furong Garden right now, and let that Sun Simiao see your illness and recuperate your body."

At this time, upon hearing Li Shimin's words, a huge rock in the old prince's heart finally fell to the ground.

Then, with a sallow complexion, he sighed, "Your Majesty."

"The old minister's body, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this spring."

"The old minister begs, if you can return to your roots, let the two children, Li Qiu and Ke Xin, send the old minister back to your hometown in Youzhou."

"This kid, Li Qiu, is too upright. If he stays in Chang'an City, he might cause some kind of disaster to His Majesty."

"It's still the environment in Youzhou, where there are simple people and Turks who have been enemies for generations, it is more suitable for him."

Listening to his words, Li Shimin paused, then nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will play!"

After that, seeing the eunuch in the palace supporting Rosen tremblingly saying goodbye to him and leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

……

In the Furong Garden on the other side, before Li Qiu and Luo Kexin were happy after receiving the order from the palace, they had to know the news that the old prince entered the palace alone.

After the palace sent a carriage to take the old prince to the Furong Garden, the evil results of this afternoon's tossing finally appeared.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the old prince's health and condition are getting worse.

After connecting the old prince to a warm room to lie down, Sun Simiao also hurried over to feel the pulse of the old prince.

After that, his face sank like water, and in the eyes he looked at Li Qiu, it also expressed that the old prince's condition was very serious.

Luo Kexin, who also saw Sun Simiao's expression and eyes, burst into tears.

At this time, the old prince sighed softly, took La Luo Kexin's hand, and said to Li Qiu: "Today I entered the palace to see Your Majesty."

"I have obtained His Majesty's permission to let the two of you accompany me and return to Youzhou to retire."

"Tonight, we must prepare everything, and we will go straight to the road before dawn."

"Don't give those gentry and courtiers who want to put you to death, the opportunity to continue to attack you."

"Once we get to Youzhou, our own land, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if they want to, they won't be able to harm you."

"At the same time, this is also a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot."

"With the two of you gone, they will no longer be able to put pressure on His Majesty."

"Good boy, go and pack everything up. Let's talk about the rest on the way."

After hearing the old prince's words, Li Qiu felt deeply in his heart.

Let Luo Kexin talk with the old prince, and he will lead his people to pack up everything and set off early tomorrow morning.

All the plants in the Crystal Palace were uprooted.

Fruits and vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., he arranged for people to send them to the homes of adults with good relationships tomorrow.

The sweet potatoes, corn, and potato seeds were all carefully sorted and boxed, and put into the well-insulated carriage.

Alas, another day of leaving relatives...

Chapter 239 Getting Burned for Li Qiu

Like the masters of movable type printing, equipment, and specialized craftsmen, all are taken away together.

Due to the old prince's physical condition, Sun Simiao also had to go with him.

It happened that Sun Simiao was also thinking about his two apprentices, so he went happily.

In addition, the other craftsmen in Li Qiu's Furong Garden, except for a few for daily maintenance, were all taken away.

Like these children in Furong Academy, Li Qiu entrusted them to Wei Ting, Wei Zheng and others.

When I have free time, I can teach them to read and write, Confucianism.

As for the martial arts of these children, I entrusted them to Qin Qiong and Feng Li.

This time Li Qiu went north and took away two disciples, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui.

As for the second apprentice Gao Kan, Qin Qiong has always regarded him as a direct disciple.

So Li Qiu kept him, so that Qin Qiong would be more interested in coming to the Furong Garden.

A Ke, and her four disciples also went north together.

In the last county government meeting, Jing Riqi, Jing Yueqi, and Jing Xingqi each beheaded an enemy.
