Chapter 747
Before Li Shimin died, the person who was most worried about him was not Li Ke, nor the Great Tang Jiangshan, because Li Ke was the most outstanding one among Li Shimin's sons and even the entire clan's children regardless of literature, politics and martial arts. Li Shimin had enough for Li Ke With confidence, you can safely hand over the Great Tang Dynasty to Li Ke's hands.

The only thing Li Shimin is worried about is Li Chengqian who is in Qianzhou at this time. Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's real eldest son. He unconsciously looked in the direction of Qianzhou.

It is not that Li Shimin never thought of releasing Li Chengqian before he was alive, but Li Shimin would not act recklessly. He knew that he must not do this, because doing so was not only in vain of the national law, but more importantly, it was a challenge to Li Ke's position. Li Ke is not good, and it is not good for Datang Jiangshan.

Out of his love for Li Ke and his responsibility to the court, Li Shimin chose not to pardon Li Chengqian in his lifetime, and even after Li Chengqian was convicted, he never actually sent a letter to Qianzhou, which made Li Chengqian stay safely in Guizhou. State, don't give me a second thought.

Fortunately, Li Ke understood Li Shimin's meaning, and Li Ke's last words dispelled Li Shimin's last worry.

Li Shimin can't pardon Li Chengqian, but Li Ke can. This is not only a harmony between brothers, but also a benevolence of the new king.

Li Shimin settled the last worry and lay in Li Ke's arms, with his hands hanging down, with a serene expression, and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, between heaven and earth, time seemed to be frozen at this scene, for Li Shimin.

Li Ke, all the prime ministers, everyone looked at Li Shimin who was lying in Li Ke's arms and passed away peacefully. He looked at this heroic figure who destroyed all the heroes, settled the Western Regions, and flattened the Mobei. The ancient sage king who opened the gate of the prosperous age felt dazed and could hardly believe such a reality.

But this kind of trance is only for a moment. In any case, Li Shimin's death has become a fact, and everyone has seen it. Whether they want to or not, they have to face this reality.

The moment Li Shimin closed his eyes, it seemed as if the sky and the earth had lost their color, everything had no sound, almost like the end of the world, everything became gray and silent.

But after a brief silence, someone who heard a slight sob first, and then, the sob became more and more serious, and spread, spread to the entire lowland, and spread to everyone middle.

Soon, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty on the low plain were crying here, and some were even so painful that they couldn't help themselves, howling, and grabbing the ground with their heads, knocking out blood, gushing all over their faces, and the blood blurred their eyes. Also unaware!

At this moment, among the heartbroken people, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. There are new monarchs, prime ministers, and ordinary soldiers of the imperial army. All of them cry from the bottom of their hearts, because now What they lost was not only an emperor, but also their faith, which brought their pioneering faith in the troubled times, and some of them were even willing to exchange their lives for Li Shimin to come back.

Just when Li Shimin left and everyone was weeping uncontrollably, a gust of wind blew up in the mountains and forests, knocking down the freshly greened grass, swaying the woods and rustling, frightened the birds and sparrows to fly together, and all the beasts growling. , as if even everything in the world is crying for the departure of the emperor.

Li Ke held Li Shimin in his arms and looked at his father lying quietly in his arms. This was the first time he looked at him so quietly and so closely. Li Ke felt very familiar, but at the same time felt strange. In an instant, Li Ke's consciousness and time and space seemed to be intertwined.

Li Ke realized that the person lying in his arms was his father, his father, Li Shimin, the eternal emperor who was known as a politically perfect man through the ages.

In the past, Li Ke played many tricks and tricks in front of Li Shimin, whether it was to survive or gain power, but Li Ke never dared to show any disrespect to Li Shimin, even now, Li Shimin has passed away, Li Ke Li Ke was still like this when he was about to become the most powerful person in the world.

Li Ke had also thought about the coming of this day. He had thought about what he was going to face, and also thought about his appearance and reaction. But at this moment, Li Ke really understood. What he thought in his heart was different from what he had imagined before.

Sadness certainly exists, but what Li Ke feels the most is the responsibility, the responsibility to bring peace to the world and govern the people. This responsibility once belonged to Li Shimin, but now this responsibility is passing through Li Shimin's body, through Li Ke's The fingers reached Li Ke's body.

Now, Li Ke is about to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he has to take on the responsibility that once belonged to Li Shimin, and provoke this symbol of supreme power, but it is also a burden that is heavier than Mount Tai.

This responsibility is so great that it can overwhelm anyone, but fortunately Li Ke is not alone. He also has the old department of the Eastern Palace, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty helped him share it.

I don't know how much time has passed, maybe a long time, maybe not long after, slowly, the crying in the crowd stopped, Zhongshu Ling Cen Wenwen and Zuo Pu Shefang Xuanling looked at each other and nodded to each other .

They are also grieving, but they know that one of them is the leader of the prime ministers, and the other is the teacher of the new king. They should not panic, but should stand up and do what they need to do, because Li Shimin is dead, and the court will continue. run down.

Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen stood up and walked up to Li Ke. Fang Xuanling spoke to Li Ke first, "Your Majesty has passed away, and I hope the crown prince mourns. The most urgent thing right now is to send your majesty back to the palace for burial, and the crown prince ascends the throne. Peace of mind."

Cen Wenwen also continued: "The crown prince accepts His Majesty's will, confers the throne as the king, and he will be the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The crown prince still needs to take the great Tang country and the people of the world as the most important thing. Don't live up to your majesty's dying entrustment."

Li Ke also knew the importance of the matter at hand, and now there are two urgent matters, one is the burial of the former emperor, and the other is the enthronement of the new emperor, so as to realize the peaceful transfer and transition of power.

"What Fang Xiang and Master Cen said is that I did a poor job." Li Ke wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen.

After finishing speaking, Li Ke slowly picked up Li Shimin's body, turned around, and faced the officials.

The strong wind in the mountains and forests was still blowing, blowing Li Ke's clothes fluttering and hunting. Li Ke looked at the officials and said, "Father has ruled the country for twenty years, and he has achieved unprecedented achievements. Father has something to say, order me Inheriting the aspirations of our ancestors, carrying forward the past and ushering in the future, and extending the prosperous age, you are willing to follow my father's will and protect me for thousands of years."

Although the current Li Ke is still the prince in name, in fact, every word he said is no different from that of the emperor. As soon as Li Ke's words fell, all the officials responded one after another.

Seeing this, Li Ke yelled loudly: "The army is out, go back to the palace!"
