Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Until the national strength is short of money, the people are destitute, and the country directly perishes.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has only tens of thousands of Youzhou troops, and has directly captured the western Liaoning region and Huaiyuan city.

Such feats really made all the Central Plains people feel proud and happy.

Facing the praises and praises of the officials, Li Shimin on the dragon chair sighed helplessly in his heart.

This matter is indeed a major event.

Li Qiu made another great achievement unexpectedly.

Whether he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty or a father, he is deeply proud of Li Qiu.

But facing the queen who is now in a very serious condition, he couldn't bring himself to be half happy anyway.

In the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin sat beside the bed of Empress Changsun, holding her hand tightly.

Looking at his wife's current situation, his heart is full of sadness.

"Guanyin servant girl, do you know that the news just came back from western Liaoning today."

"That kid Li Qiu made another great achievement."

"He and Fang Xuanling, with less than 3 people, actually captured Huaiyuan City, which was garrisoned by 10,000+ people."

"The Liaoxi Corridor, which made the army of the Sui Dynasty feel ashamed, was easily opened by him like this."

"This kid, in terms of his ability to lead troops to fight, he is really better than his old man back then."

For Empress Changsun, Li Shimin tried to choose the content that Empress Changsun likes, which is light and pleasant.

Upon hearing Li Qiu's news, Empress Changsun finally showed a smile on her face.

"Yes, actually, I also think that among these children, Qiu'er resembles you the most, Erlang."

"He is different from Chengqian and Qingqueer."

"The conditions were tough from birth."

"And then there were so many hardships."

"That's why he has been polished into the man he is today."

"In this life, I can find Qiu'er again, and I can see him so outstanding, marry a wife and have a son, and I feel at ease."

"Erlang, actually, I really want to go back to the time when we first got married."

"Although the conditions are difficult, the family lives together in harmony, and there are not so many disputes and troubles."

"How nice it would be..."

Listening to her words, Li Shimin also showed a smile aftertaste on his face.

"Yeah, I actually think about it sometimes."

"What a wonderful day it was then."

"During the day with the auxiliary machine, my brother-in-law and the others drink, practice martial arts, and talk high-spirited."

"When I go home at night, I will be with you and the children again."

"But since Taiyuan raised troops, all this has changed."

"The power in my hands is getting bigger and bigger, and the troubles and pressure in my heart are also getting more and more."

Empress Changsun sighed softly at this moment, "Yes."

"Now, look at Chengqian and Qingque."

"No matter how you look at it, there are shadows of Erlang, you and Donggong."

"Until now, I still disagree, Erlang, you let Qingque stay in the Wude Hall."

"At this time, they are no longer young, and if something happens in the future..."

Li Shimin patted Empress Changsun's hand at this time, and said with great confidence: "Guanyin servant girl, you are too worried about this."

"Chengqian and Qingque seem to be the same as before, but they are actually very different."

"Chengqian is kind by nature, but a little cowardly."

"Qingque has always been in the company of literati, and has almost nothing to do with generals."

"The Tang army, they can't command it."

"The two of them can't make any trouble."

"The reason why I let Li Tai enter the Hall of Martial Virtue is because of my original intention."

"Only by keeping these princes in constant tension and competition can we urge them to study hard and make themselves more outstanding."

"Doting on Li Tai is actually to better alert the prince."

"Only when the prince becomes more outstanding, can he take over the country more safely."

Li Shimin said this almost subconsciously.

But Empress Changsun couldn't help frowning slightly.

"If Erlang, you really have plans in this regard, then you must promise me that you will never disclose Qiu'er's identity."

"Don't let him get involved in this dispute over imperial power."

"Just let him stay away from Chang'an, stay away from the court, and live a life of peace and happiness, that's enough."

When it comes to Li Qiu and his identity as the eldest son of the emperor, Li Shimin's head is also like a fight.

What he said just now, he also said after ruling out Li Qiu's factors.

It was also his usual thinking before.

In fact, regarding Li Qiu, he has always been in a state of evasion in his heart.

Don't even want to think about it.

It feels like muddling along and waiting to see.

Now that Queen Changsun mentioned it, he didn't know what to do for a while.

It is said that it is difficult for honest officials to cut off household chores.

Regarding his own princes, Li Chengqian and Li Qiu, he was really at a loss what to do.

……

A few days later, Li Qiu and A Ke, who rushed all the way, finally arrived in Chang'an.

They didn't even stop at the Furong Garden outside the city, but went directly to the palace.

Like others, the imperial guards in the palace and the guards of the imperial city will stop them and not allow them to ride horses.

However, they hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to stop the famous Peking King Li Qiu and Princess Yunzhong.

After arriving at the real imperial palace, Li Qiu and A Ke got off their horses and hurried straight to the Lizheng Hall.

At this time, the old eunuch Xu De, who had been waiting hard at the door, almost burst into tears when he saw Li Qiu's figure.

"Oh, my lord!"

"You are finally back!"

"The empress is looking forward to it day and night, and she just hopes to see you, Wang Ye, once more."

"If you come back a month and a half later, I'm afraid that..."

Seeing the old eunuch Xu De's sad appearance, Li Qiu was really anxious.

Take a big step and walk directly into the Lizheng Palace.

At this moment, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Sun Simiao, and three or four imperial physicians from the palace all gathered here.

Sun Simiao, also outside the gauze tent, used a red string to hang silk to diagnose the pulse.

Maybe it was also because he was too anxious, Li Qiu didn't even say hello to Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, he directly pulled Sun Simiao behind him.

He lifted up the gauze curtain by himself, stepped in, and sat down on the small stool in front of Empress Changsun just like that.

Chapter 649 You Shut Up

This scene is really too abrupt.

So much so that the official of the Imperial Medical Bureau subconsciously said a word directly.

"You...how dare you be so rude to your empress?!"

Of course not only him, even Sun Simiao was buzzing in his head at the moment.

I screamed in my heart that it was not good!

My lord, my lord, that lady is the mother of a country.

What a noble person.

Right now, this is the empress' bedroom, and beside her are His Majesty and the empress' elder brother, grandson.

Even when I diagnose a disease, I have to diagnose the pulse through a gauze curtain.

But why did you just break into the gauze tent without saying a word?

You are so rude to the empress, this is a great crime!

However, it was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

To Li Qiu's very rude and reckless behavior, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji who were on the side hardly reacted too obviously.

If it is a reaction, it can only be said to be a hint of surprise and relief.

But definitely not the kind of anger that everyone expected.

At this time, before the imperial physician from the imperial medical office could finish speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji pulled him over and angrily reprimanded him in a low voice.

"shut up!"

After being so angrily reprimanded by Zhangsun Wuji, the official of the imperial medical department felt that his mind was not very good.

What the hell is going on in this world?

The king of Peking barged in without even paying his respects to His Majesty, he just broke into the gauze tent and was rude to his empress.

It is reasonable to say that his behavior is to be taken directly, and it is not an exaggeration to pull him out and kill him, right?

But you all turn a blind eye to it.

On the contrary, it was I who spoke out to stop, but got reprimanded a lot?

This, isn't this just turning black and white, where is the reasoning? !

On the other side, inside the gauze tent, Li Qiu looked at the sick face of Empress Changsun in front of him, and his heart felt like a knife was twisting.

From the tavern back then, until now.

The empress has always been the warmest and gentlest part of his life, the part that made him feel most relaxed and at ease.

In the track of history, he knew that the empress had left very early.

So he also stored several energy crystals early.

But what he never expected was, why did the empress's illness come on so suddenly?

Afterwards, it may also be due to the crazy rush for several days without much sleep and rest.

Coupled with the excitement at the moment, Li Qiu's lips could not help but tremble a little.

"Niangniang, don't be afraid, I'm back, I'm back in a hurry."

"I will definitely be able to cure your illness, and nothing will happen to you!"

"Please give me your wrist..."

Originally, Empress Changsun was dizzy as before, and was receiving the pulse diagnosis of the imperial physicians.

But in her heart, there was basically no expectation.

I just hope that I can tell my children more.
