Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2269 Assistant Minister
After the New Year, Li Shimin's health began to deteriorate.

Even so, Li Shimin still refused to discard the divine pill of the monk with dead wood in Tianzhu.

He was already inseparable from the divine pill. Once he left, he felt that he was not himself. Only the divine pill could make him feel a little alive.

It's not that he doesn't know the disadvantages of the magic pill, he just can't do without it.

After the beginning of spring, prosperity can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.

The willows are green with new buds, the spring breeze is blowing, and the earth has become green.

Li Shimin has not gone to court for several days.

At this time, people from all walks of life in Chang'an City began to inquire about Li Shimin's situation.

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little nervous at the house. If Li Shimin really died, what would his eldest grandson's family do in the future?
Once the emperor and the courtiers, even if Li Shimin has prejudice against him, in order to protect his reputation, Li Shimin will not do anything to him, but if Li Shimin dies and the crown prince Li Chengqian ascends the throne, it will be difficult to say.

Li Chengqian didn't need to worry about his status as an uncle, let alone he was Li Zhi's supporter.

And now, does he need to change his court?

If he is willing to abandon Li Zhi and rely on Li Chengqian, will he have a better way out?

However, this thought just passed by in a flash, and he didn't have the determination and will to change his family.

Li Chengqian will definitely not help him destroy Qin Tian and avenge himself, but if he wants revenge, he can only rely on Li Zhi.

He no longer has the original mentality, so many times, his decisions make people feel irrational.

Hatred made him like this, and this hatred has become his obsession.

Changsun Wuji walked back and forth, he didn't want Li Shimin to have an accident.

However, Li Shimin did not go to court for a few days, and the news from the palace was not good for Li Shimin. He really couldn't understand why Li Shimin collapsed suddenly?

He is younger than himself.

Many things in this world come a bit suddenly.

But when Changsun Wuji was walking back and forth in the mansion, someone came from the palace.

"My lord, the Holy Majesty wants you to enter the palace immediately."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed to the palace in a hurry.

After he came to the palace, he realized that Li Shimin not only called him, but also called Cen Wenwen and Kong Yingda.

When he saw the two of them, Changsun Wuji's expression froze slightly. He was a little puzzled, but he seemed to understand something, but the understanding was very vague, and he couldn't figure it out at this moment.

Three people, one belonged to Li Zhi, one belonged to Wei Wang Li Tai, and the other belonged to Shu King Li Ke.

Among Li Shimin's sons, the most powerful ones.

The three of them looked at each other, but didn't speak, they just waited.

Not long after, the palace servants came out and led them to Li Shimin's bedroom.

At this time, Li Shimin was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he looked very weak.

"Holy..."

Changsun Wuji's tears flowed down uncontrollably, he was very distressed, at least he acted very distressed.

"My lord...how did you become like this, the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor..."

Changsun Wuji wanted to keep shouting, but was stopped by Li Shimin with a wave.

"Okay, auxiliary machine, I know my body very well, I'm afraid I won't live for a few days, I came to you today to arrange funeral arrangements with you."

Hearing this, everyone's expression turned bad. They were very sad about the funeral. They didn't know why. Seeing that the high-spirited person at the beginning became like this now, they didn't know what to say. .

They want to lament the impermanence of the world, but they don't know where to start.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the bedroom became quieter.

At this time, Li Shimin finally said: "I got everything I have today through the Xuanwu Gate Change, killing my brother and forcing my father. It's just that I have been very uneasy all these years. Now that I am leaving, I have to worry about it." Some relief, but there are some things that always make me worry."

"I have many children, and they are not very harmonious. The brotherhood of the royal family is extremely weak. I am worried that after my death, the incident of the Xuanwu Gate will break out again. The three of you, They are all the people I trust the most, I hope that after my death, you can help the crown prince with all your heart, make him a good emperor, and try not to let what happened back then, can you do it?"

After Li Shimin said this, Changsun Wuji suddenly came to his senses, and at this moment he completely understood that point.

They belonged to Li Zhi and Li Tai. If they could assist the prince wholeheartedly, then it would be impossible for Li Zhi and Li Tai to rebel.

Obviously, Li Shimin may have heard some news, and in order to prevent his princes and brothers from fighting each other, he wanted to force them to change their families, seek refuge with the prince, and work for the prince.

If they are willing, maybe they can really avoid a brother-in-law fight.

They knew that even though Li Shimin was dying of illness, his mind was still very clear.

And I have to admit that Li Shimin is also thinking about them. If they are willing to change their families, their current wealth can be preserved.

Just can they?

Several people looked at each other, no matter whether they could or not, now that Li Shimin spoke, they couldn't refuse, maybe they refused now, when they left the palace, disaster might be imminent.

After all, in order to prevent his princes and brothers from killing each other, Li Shimin might do anything. If they were killed, Li Zhi and Li Tai would have no helpful assistants in the capital. At that time, would they still do it? ?
A chill came through their bodies, making them shiver uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old minister is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, and I am willing to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the fullest, so that he can become a great emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty."

After Changsun Wuji spoke, Kong Yingda and Cen Wenwen immediately followed suit.

They have no choice.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, I have ordered someone to draw up an imperial decree, ordering the three of you to be assistant ministers to the crown prince. After my death, the three of you will assist the crown prince with all your heart."

Li Shimin wanted to sever their connection with other feudal lords, even the imperial decree was prepared for them.

The faces of the three people were extremely ugly, but they still responded quickly.

After saying this, Li Shimin waved his hand: "I'm tired, you guys... back off, back off."

The three looked at each other, then quickly retreated.
