Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Changsun Wuji was also extremely worried and distressed.

As soon as I have time, I come to chat with my sister and say a few words.

When he came to the entrance of the Lizheng Hall, he happened to see the worried old eunuch Xu De pacing around the entrance.

Seeing him like this, Changsun Wuji also asked why.

At this time, Xu De couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, his eyes were full of sadness.

"Master grandson."

"Today the imperial physician in the palace came to see the empress again."

"But looking at my mother's condition, it's getting worse day by day."

"I feel uncomfortable, and I dare not show sadness in front of the empress, so I stand at the door and take a while."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji also sighed deeply, patted him on the shoulder, and walked straight into the hall.

At this moment, he heard Empress Changsun anxiously questioning the imperial physician.

"In the past few years, I have taken the medicine you prescribed every day."

"The meals you specially arranged, I also listen to you."

"But why is this condition getting worse?"

"Tell me the truth, is this disease going to get better?"

"How much time do I have left?"

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun was so emotional that her chest was panting violently.

Upon hearing Empress Changsun's words, the two imperial physicians, as well as all the eunuchs and maids in the palace, all fell to their knees with a plop.

The faces and eyes of the eunuchs and maids were full of sadness and anxiety.

And those two imperial physicians were even more trembling, wishing they could push their heads into the ground.

Chapter 640 Liaoxi, Never Let It Go

Regarding the condition of Empress Changsun, these imperial physicians were extremely anxious.

But for a while, there was really a sense of powerlessness.

They were even more terrified when they heard that the Empress Empress actually asked such a sentence.

"It's all because of the incompetence of the ministers, unable to quickly stabilize the condition of the empress."

"But please don't get angry, let alone despair, so as not to hurt your body."

"Your Majesty, as long as you have a calm mind and don't worry about it, your condition can still be stabilized..."

Upon hearing the words they all said without confidence, Empress Changsun felt even more powerless in her heart.

At this time, Changsun Wuji hurried over quickly.

Let the two imperial physicians go first, while he himself sat in front of the eldest grandson empress, constantly comforting her.

"Oh, ma'am."

"As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread."

"These imperial physicians are human beings, not gods."

"How can we cure the disease with medicine?"

"So don't be too anxious, Ma'am, right?"

Seeing her brother coming, Empress Changsun felt a little more at ease.

Then he sighed, shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "Brother, I know my body very well."

"This time, I'm afraid I won't get better from this illness."

"I might... really die..."

As she spoke, tears flowed from Empress Changsun's eyes.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji felt distressed because his eyes were red, and he stomped his feet anxiously.

In his life, what he disliked the most was that his own sister was being bullied.

Saw her cry.

"Ugh!"

"Your Majesty, don't keep saying such frustrating things, okay?!"

"Don't worry, the disease must be cured."

"There are so many imperial physicians in the palace, and Sun Simiao from Furongyuan, there will always be a way..."

Empress Changsun sighed slightly at this moment.

"In the past few years, I have come through with strong winds and waves, and I am used to seeing many things."

"I can see through life, old age, sickness and death."

"But in my heart, there are too many worries."

"I'm really worried."

"Right now, my body is dizzy and I can't even walk stably."

"It's been many days, I don't know how many times, I want to go to the Furong Garden to take a look at the child."

"It's all impossible to go."

"And Qiu'er, I wonder if he is safe on the front line?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji said hastily: "Your Majesty, if you want to see the child, this is easy."

"I'll arrange it myself later, it's not too difficult."

"As for Li Qiu, this kid has made great contributions in western Liaoning, everything is fine."

"Just now in the imperial study, even Dai Zhou, who used to dislike him the most, said that he admired him."

"This is also a good thing. Slowly, more and more people will accept him."

"As for you, empress, you should take care of your illness with peace of mind, and don't think about it any more."

……

The next day, under the ingenious arrangement of Changsun Wuji.

Princess Youle personally brought Luo Kexin, Wu Jue and the children into the palace to meet the eldest grandson empress.

Seeing her little grandson coming, Empress Changsun finally had a rare smile.

Smiling, he gently hugged the child in his arms, and pressed the child's little face.

"Xiao Wenzhi, I saw you again..."

At this time, Luo Kexin who was on the side blamed himself a little and said, "I heard that you are sick, my lady."

"I just wanted to come to the palace to pay my respects."

"But because of Mr. Zhang's case, our Furong Garden is outside the city, so it is very difficult to enter the palace."

Listening to her words, Empress Changsun nodded very considerately.

"I can't blame you for this."

"It's an extraordinary period, and there is no way."

"Especially this imperial palace, it's no better than others."

"Seeing that all of you and the children are safe, I don't have to worry about it..."

……

At the same time on the other side, in Chengqing Hall.

Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Wen Yanbo and others attended the audience together.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Khitan and other vassal states have all arrived in Chang'an."

"Now he is living in the post station of Honglu Temple."

"They all want to enter the palace to face the saint."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

"Their envoys, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, mob, what do I want to see?"

"If there is anything, you guys can handle it at your own discretion."

Like Goguryeo, Khitan, Baekje and other vassal states, although they were vassals of the Tang Dynasty on the surface.

But in fact, it is very perfunctory.

Every year during the New Year's Eve, it's just a matter of paying tribute and sending a letter of worship.

Goguryeo has already begun to build the Great Wall in their own country, and what they think in their hearts is self-evident.

Li Shimin was naturally unwilling to meet their envoys.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty."

"This time the envoys of these countries are different from the past."

"They are all senior officials in their country, even officials at the prime minister level."

"As for the purpose of coming here this time, it is also very clear."

"I just want to ask our Tang Dynasty to withdraw its troops and return the six occupied Goguryeo cities."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being taken aback.

"Six cities?"

"There are too many things going on in the palace during this time, so I really haven't paid much attention to Li Qiu's situation."

"How long has it been since he already captured six cities?!"

"Xuanling, open the map, I want to take a closer look!"

Then, the maps of Youzhou and Goguryeo spread out.

Fang Xuanling pointed to the map one by one and said: "Your Majesty, Li Qiu and the Youzhou Army have successively captured seven cities including Liucheng, Wulu, and Weicheng."

"The entire western Liaoning area is currently under the control of my Tang Dynasty."

Saying that, Fang Xuanling's finger pointed to the former Tie Le tribe's residence in the northwest of Youzhou City.

"Before, Li Qiu and the others had settled 10,000+ people here."

"And a new city is being built here called Yanyun."

"Once Yanyun City is built, this area, Liaoxi, and Youzhou will be completely connected as a whole."

"The horns of each other can be used to attack and defend, just like a barrier, standing in the northeast of my Tang Dynasty."

"From now on, we can easily go out and attack Liaodong, Goguryeo, and Khitan."

"Retire, and rely on the city, look at each other from head to tail, and resist foreign enemies."

"The position in Liaoxi is really too critical."

"The terrain of the grassland is flat, from the west of Liaoning to the depths of the grassland, the territory is vast, and an elite cavalry can rush to Yanyun within two days."

"If there is no barrier in the west of Liaoning, Yanyun City and all our troops and people on the grassland will be directly exposed to the enemy's vision."

"This is also an important foundation for us to gain a foothold in the grassland."

"One in western Liaoning and one in Yinshan, these two locations are battlegrounds for military strategists."

"That's why I believe that Liaoxi must not let it go!"

Chapter 641 This bastard never listens to orders

Listening to Fang Xuanling's words, even Li Shimin showed an expression of disbelief.
