Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Page 588

However, due to the serious illness of the Supreme Emperor, the palace and Furong Garden were quite deserted and solemn.

After entering the new year's festival, the Taishanghuang's physical condition became worse and worse.

Most of the day, are in a comatose state.

Even sitting for a while is already quite strenuous.

Seeing the situation of the Supreme Emperor, everyone's mood can be imagined.

Among these people, especially Li Shimin, he felt more guilt and self-blame.

He was originally a person who was drawn to love.

So far, all he saw in his eyes was his dying old father.

What I recalled in my mind was no longer the gap and grievances between myself, my father, and my brothers during the Wude years.

It was because I was loved and taught by my father since I was a child.

Especially the joy and pride in his father's eyes when he rode a horse for the first time and returned from victory for the first time.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Shimin was discussing government affairs with Xuanling and Wei Zheng in the imperial study.

Suddenly, I received the news that the veteran Xiao Yu died of illness in Qizhou.

At the same time, he also saw Xiao Yu's last strength and effort in life.

This memorial written down.

The content above probably means: The old minister is very grateful to His Majesty for his great kindness.

However, I am old, and I will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty in the future.

It is no longer possible to talk about the past and the present with His Majesty in the imperial study, and criticize the current problems.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good, and this minister's last words about governing the country have no distracting thoughts.

I just hope that my Tang Dynasty will last forever, and I can share this worry with you, Your Majesty.

Seeing this, in Li Shimin's mind, he could still imagine Xiao Yu's appearance when he wrote this letter.

On this memorial, Xiao Yu's talent and wisdom of life are exhausted.

As always.

It only takes a few words to explain a matter thoroughly and clearly.

Li Shimin is a master of calligraphy.

Naturally, it can be seen that at the end of the memorial, Xiao Yu's handwriting is vain and weak, and gradually loses its shape.

Xiao Yu's voice and appearance are also as if in front of his eyes.

Up to this moment, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, tears rolled down directly.

Then he sighed deeply.

"oops!"

"Xiao Yu, he gave everything he had, and he probably didn't finish writing this memorial to me until before he died!"

At this time, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng on the side also had expressions of disbelief.

"Master Xiao, when he left Chang'an, he was still fine."

"It's only half a year so far."

"I didn't think so, suddenly..."

And Li Shimin, facing this memorial at this time, said sadly: "Xiao Yu!"

"You are loyal and upright, the ancients can't compare to you."

"Why did you leave me in such a hurry?!"

As he spoke, Li Shimin directly picked up the pen and ink on the table.

"Sir, you can't be tempted by profit, you can't be threatened with death, you are a true minister of the country!"

While thinking about it, I wrote a poem.

"Gift to Xiao Yu"

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the toughness knows the honest minister.A brave man knows righteousness, and a wise man must be benevolent.

Chapter 852 Take Care of My Good Grandson

In the end, the news of Xiao Yu's death was not hidden from the Supreme Emperor.

After knowing this, the Supreme Emperor sighed softly.

"Forget it, you and I can go on the road together."

……

On the dying day of the Supreme Emperor, it finally arrived.

Before the sick bed, the Supreme Emperor held Li Shimin's hand.

Sighing and exhorting, he said, "Son, my father is leaving now."

"Actually, there is a saying that is true."

"I am very satisfied with what you, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did."

"We, Li Tang's country, must take good care of it and pass it on."

"Forever passed on..."

Listening to the words of the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin was also very sad at the moment.

"Father, I'm sorry for you..."

Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor also had tears in his eyes, and shook his head slightly.

"There are some things that I didn't do well for my father."

"Do not blame you."

"Li Er, there is one last thing, you must promise me."

At this moment, what Li Shimin thought subconsciously in his mind must be that the Supreme Emperor wanted him to agree.

The crown prince was abolished and Li Qiu was righted.

But this question, he has always avoided in his heart.

So after obviously hesitating for a moment, he nodded vigorously for the sake of empress Tai.

But completely beyond his expectation, the Supreme Emperor said slowly: "Although I have been in Da'an Palace."

"But I still care about the Tang Dynasty."

"It seems that the world is stable now, but whether it is inside or outside, there are still undercurrents."

"After I die, you have to promise me not to be a filial piety for me."

"The important military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty cannot be separated from you, the emperor."

Hearing the last order of the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin's eyes were full of tears.

Can't help shaking his head.

How can you not even do the last thing of showing filial piety to the Supreme Emperor if you say you are an unfilial son?

……

After Li Shimin, Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao also came to see the Supreme Emperor at his bedside.

After listening to a few words of instructions from the Supreme Emperor.

After them, there are naturally many children of the Supreme Emperor.

Prince, the princess is waiting to see the Supreme Emperor.

These people will never end.

But the Supreme Emperor himself knew that this was already the last time of his life.

Some people, if never seen again, will never be seen again.

If you don't say some things again, you may never be able to say them.

So, he looked at the people in this room and said slowly: "You all step back."

"I want to talk to Zixin alone."

Hearing this, although everyone was reluctant, they followed the words of the Supreme Emperor and retreated one after another.

After waiting until only the Supreme Emperor and the warrior Xun were left in the room.

The samurai Xun was finally able to move forward and came to the bed of the Supreme Emperor.

They are two monarchs and ministers, almost a lifelong friendship.

Didn't even wait to speak, just this pair of eyes.

At the same time, I couldn't help being sad and weeping.

Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor tightly held the warrior's hand, wept, and slightly shook his head and sighed, "Zixin, our monarchs and ministers are about to bid farewell here..."

"I think back then, when I met you."

"You're still so young."

"Now, it's almost old."

At this moment, the warrior Xun was already in tears.

"The Supreme Emperor."

"I will still be by your side for the rest of my life."

"You take a step ahead this time, I'm afraid the minister will come to you soon..."

Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help shaking his head.

"Can not be done……"

"Zixin, no."

"After I leave, you must live well."

"My good grandson is about to be handed over to you."
