Chapter 731 Chapter 750: Heaven Khan died

Garqin Mausoleum never imagined that in such heavy snow weather, the Tang army would be able to use fire tactics. The 300 army only escaped a thousand people and came back. There are more than [-] people, this is going to explode his lungs, he really wants to find someone to vent, but he nodded and agreed to the initiative to attack, naturally he can't vent his anger on Solanga Zan, he can only bear it silently , slowly resolve.

Since the Tang army entered the territory of Tubo until now, a total of 16 Tubo soldiers and horses have been annihilated. Now there are less than 30 of Tubo's more than 20 soldiers and horses, and the worst thing is that the food in some cities can only support It has been more than a month, once there is a food shortage in the city, it will be easy for the Tang army to conquer Luoxie city.

After Fan Lihua's victory, she moved her army to the south and stationed ten miles south of Luoxie City, and set up camp here, but still only besieged but did not attack.

The heavy snow spread from west to east, and it also fell heavily in Chang'an. Li Shimin's condition became more and more serious, and it was difficult for him to speak, but he still insisted on asking Xu Lian once a day: "Is there any good news about Li Hao?" Xu Lian still shook his head, his eyes were full of sadness.

The new year is approaching, and Li Shimin can no longer speak. The imperial doctor took out the thousand-year-old ginseng, cut off the slices and put them in Li Shimin's mouth to prolong his life. Xu Lian came to the bedside, Li Shimin asked with his eyes, Xu Lian shook his head in answer, disappointed again and again. The blow finally made Li Shimin unable to hold on anymore.

On the day of the New Year's Eve, Li Shimin suddenly came back to the light, and he was able to talk, and he ate a bowl of millet porridge, which was fed by Li Zhi himself. After feeding the millet porridge, Li Zhi wanted to serve Li Shimin to lie down and rest, but Li Shimin waved his hand and refused He asked, "Xu Lian, is there any good news for Li Hao?"

Xu Lian shook his head sadly: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is no good news from Li Hao."

"Alas..." Li Shimin let out a long sigh and hung his head in silence.

Seeing him sighing, Li Zhi hurriedly comforted him: "Father, don't worry, your health is getting better now, and you will recover soon. I believe it will not be long before Li Hao's good news will come."

"Zhi'er must not be naive." Li Shimin smiled miserably, staring at Li Zhi, and said slowly, "Father Emperor's body, Father Emperor himself knows that today is the day of Father Emperor's death."

Hearing this, Li Zhi quickly shook his head and said urgently: "Father, please don't say anything unlucky. Father will live a long life, no, long life!"

"Hehe..." Li Shimin said with a helpless smile, "That's just the words of the emperors of all ages who deceived themselves and others. If any emperor lived to be over a hundred years old, he would not be a god... Well, your mother's empress died on this day , I am also on the funeral today, very good, very good..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi didn't know what to say anymore, tears glistened in his eyes, and Princess Jinyang behind was already in tears, crying very sadly.

Li Shimin saw Princess Jinyang behind him, smiled and called out: "Mingda, come here, come to the side of Emperor Father."

Li Mingda hurried to Li Shimin's bedside. Li Shimin tried his best to touch Li Mingda's long hair like black silk, and asked, "Mingda, your father is going, and the one who is most worried about you is your prince and brother." And you, your prince and brother have a weak temperament, your father is afraid that he will not be able to govern the huge country, but you are weak and suffer from chronic illness, once your father leaves, you will be a child without parents... you Let’s talk about you, if you were married...it would be great."

"Father..." Li Mingda burst into tears when he heard the words, and he was already choking with sobs.

Li Zhi heard the words and hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Jinyang sister."

"Just taking care of her is not enough." Li Shimin said leisurely, "We must find a good family for her, Li Hao, don't think about it, he already has a wife, and my daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf, so it is impossible for him to do it. Concubine's."

Li Zhi was taken aback when he heard the words, but Li Mingda suddenly said: "Father, my son doesn't want to marry, my son..."

It's time for Li Zhi to wink at her to stop her, and he must not say such words to worry his father, Li Mingda saw Li Zhi's wink, and quickly stopped talking.

Li Shimin sighed helplessly after hearing the words: "You still like Li Hao, right?"

Li Mingda bowed his head and remained silent.

Li Shimin was also silent, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed slowly: "Forget it, leave this matter to Zhi'er, anyway, don't let Mingda be wronged."

"I obey!" Li Zhi bowed his hands solemnly.

Li Shimin said again: "Zhier, the strategy of governing the country, you have studied for a long time, I am not worried, but you are cowardly, this is a big taboo for an emperor, remember, you will stand tallest in the world from now on. Don’t be afraid of anyone anymore, kill whoever deserves to be killed, punish whoever deserves to be punished, and don’t be soft-hearted, you can’t be a good emperor if you are soft-hearted.”

Li Zhi nodded: "I would like to follow the teachings of my father."

Li Shimin continued: "As an emperor, the country and the country should be the most important thing. The emperor may not know anything, but he must know how to employ people. Why did the ruffian Liu Bang defeat the overlord of Western Chu? There are a lot of rotten wood, and good ministers are rare. You need to observe their talents and read their minds before you can entrust them with important tasks. Your uncle and grandson Wuji have been devoted to power and manipulation in recent years and cannot extricate themselves. You need to be careful. Although Li Hao is a virtuous man, Talent and loyalty are both good, but you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. The human heart is the most unpredictable, who knows when it will change, you know what the emperor means."

Li Zhi listened to Li Shimin's teachings, and nodded silently with tears: "My minister understands, if you listen to both, you will be clear, if you believe partly, you will be dark. My minister will never act emotionally, and the country and the country must be the most important."

"Well, you are actually very smart. Father believes that you will definitely become a good emperor." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly, "Okay, I am a little tired, help me to lie down and have a rest."

Li Zhi and Li Mingda hurriedly helped Li Shimin lie down together, and covered him with a quilt, Li Shimin said: "You all step back."

"Yes! My son, leave!" Li Shimin's children all retreated, but Li Zhi and Li Mingda stood guard in the corridor outside the door, letting snowflakes fall on their heads, and immediately some palace servants came to support them The Chinese umbrella shelters them from the wind and snow.

Once Li Shimin lay down, he never woke up again. In the evening, all civil and military officials received a report from the palace that the emperor had passed away, and all the officials gathered in Tai Chi Palace, knelt down and wept outside the Ganlu Palace.

Tian Khan, who is so powerful in the world, controlled the dragon and died in such a peaceful way. Until the last moment of his life, he was still waiting for Li Hao's good news, but he never got it. The last regret in his life was still unresolved. Li Zhi and Li Mingda were already in tears.

The next morning, the first day of the new year, is a big day for the common people, but today is also a big day for the palace, because today is the big day for Li Zhi to ascend the throne.

For the ancient emperors, there was no more solemn ceremony than the enthronement ceremony. Each enthronement ceremony was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and the procedures were extremely complicated. It was not until the afternoon that the officials and Li Zhi gathered in the Taiji Hall to start Li Zhi's enthronement. The first court meeting.

According to the past practice, the first big court meeting after the new emperor's ascension to the throne does not discuss other state affairs except military affairs and disasters, because the most important thing right now is to discuss the funeral process of the deceased emperor. Although it is just a formality, this The cutscene is very important. It is a respect for the former emperor and respect for imperial power.

However, today, there was an accident. Li Zhi was sitting on the throne, and just wanted to ask Yu Zhining, Minister of Rites, how to arrange the funeral process for his father.

But Chu Suiliang suddenly came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have to play something important that I want!"

Li Zhi was taken aback when he saw this, but since Chu Suiliang said that he had something important to play, how could he not allow it, so he spread his hands and said, "What does Chu Qing want to play?"

Chu Suiliang said in a loud voice: "I want to impeach Li Hao, the general of the Tiance Mansion. Li Hao leads the army outside, but he supports his own self-respect, does not want to defeat the enemy, specializes in military power, and has ulterior motives. I ask your majesty to seize the military power of Li Hao and Fan Lihua. Take Li Hao back to Chang'an for questioning!"

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, he was very unhappy. They played this matter before, but they were dismissed by Li Shimin and returned. Unexpectedly, they played it again now. What do you mean?Seeing himself as the newly appointed emperor, easy to bully?

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Zhi to scold like Li Shimin. After all, he just came to power, and before he established his imperial authority, he frowned and said: "Chu Qing is worrying too much. Li Hao is loyal to the country, so how could he do anything wrong? Right now Li Hao is attacking Tibet is at a critical moment, we must not do this."

As soon as the words fell, Changsun Wuji suddenly strode out and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty! This statement is wrong! Since ancient times, the transition of imperial power from old to new is a time of turmoil in a country. Most rebellions are launched at this moment, because it is easy to succeed. Li Hao led the army outside and did not want to defeat the enemy, and many of his deeds are really suspicious, I think that the matter of defeating Tubo is a small matter, while maintaining the stability of the country is a major matter, which is more important, Your Majesty should have a weighing in his heart."

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard the words, but he couldn't find a word to respond. Li Ji was very annoyed when he heard the words, and he came out and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, I think the words of Chu Suiliang and Zhao Guogong are ridiculous, and I object to their request." Things!"

"My minister seconded the words of the Duke of England!" Yi Guogong Qin Qiong came out and seconded the proposal.

"The minister also seconded the British Duke's words!" Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin came out and seconded.

"My minister seconded the proposal!" Di Renjie, Minister of Dali Temple, seconded the proposal.

"Senior!" Zhongshu ordered Ma Zhou to come out and second.
