Chapter 689 Father and Son
"Bi Gong, why did Emperor Taizong enter the palace through the Xuanwu Gate?"

Riding on the horse, Li Tan asked Li Mi who was beside him.

Li Mi said:

"The terrain of Chang'an is high in the north and low in the south, and there are also forbidden troops in the South Yamen, and there are also forbidden troops between the Nanya and the palace gate. Only the Xuanwu Gate has the least obstacles to enter the palace, and the terrain is from high to low, which is more conducive to soldiers fighting. "

Li Tan suddenly realized and said:

"So that's it! No wonder they all go to the Xuanwu Gate!"

Li Mi felt something was wrong, all going to Xuanwumen?Do you think that entering the palace is a visit!

But thinking about his own identity, he seemed to be a traitor, and entered the palace with Li Tan from Xuanwu Gate, so Li Bi held back his complaints.

Daming Chang'an Sangong, Taiji Palace, Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace.

Taiji Palace and Daming Palace are connected. Li Tan's army entered Taiji Palace from Xuanwu Gate and immediately controlled the entire Taiji Palace.

There was not much resistance from the Daming Palace. With the help of Mu Rong, several key palace gates of the Daming Palace fell in anticipation. Li Tan came to the imperial study room without any hindrance.

In fact, Yushufang is not the official name of the palace. The sign hanging in the palace is Hanyuan Hall.

This is where the emperor handles government affairs. In the side hall is a small library in the palace, and the Shangshu is set up in this hall.

Because it is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and there are many books, it is called the Royal Study Room by the players.

In the Hanyuan Hall at this time, the aromas of various medicinal materials were mixed together, but they kneaded into a pungent smell.

Li Heng lay powerlessly on the roof. Wind disease was a very dangerous disease in ancient times. Even in modern times, it is very difficult to recover from hemiplegia.

Li Heng's emotional changes were also noticed by Mu Rong.

At the beginning, Li Heng was quite unwilling to admit defeat, and wrote several edicts in a row.

Listen to Mu Rong's military report every day.

But when King Yue's army was getting closer and closer to Chang'an, and the Guanzhong states surrendered, Li Heng's attitude changed.

He probably realized his situation, and instead resigned himself to his fate. He waited for the eunuch to feed him medicine every day, and no longer cared about the outside situation.

But at this moment, Li Heng didn't know if he heard the sound of armor outside the hall, he suddenly rang the bell of Yutabian.

The crisp bell rang, and Mu Rong hurried to the imperial couch.

"Changing clothes for me."

After the treatment by the imperial physician, there were some effects. Li Heng's facial paralysis was relieved, and now he can speak and eat normally.

However, the imperial physician has nothing to do about the paralysis of the right side of his body. Now Li Heng can only write with his left hand, and he has to be taken care of in daily life.

Mu Rong didn't say much, the little eunuch held the dragon robe, and after Mu Rong put it on Li Heng, Li Heng said:
"I didn't send out any of the imperial edicts I wrote to the crown prince and Guo Ziyi, did I?"

Mu Rong was startled, he looked at the emperor and lowered his head.

For Li Heng, Mu Rong's feelings are complicated.

Getting close to this emperor, I feel that he is not bad.

You said that he issued new money to corrupt the money law, but this money was also used to suppress the rebellion, and Li Heng himself didn't use much of it.

He can be regarded as frugal among the emperors, and he can be regarded as diligent, but he always messes things up.

Li Heng said without any emotional change:
"I should have known a long time ago, you were born in Longyou, Tan'er sent you into the palace?"

Only then did Mu Rong nod his head, Li Heng confirmed Mu Rong's identity, and felt even more relaxed.

He said to Mu Rong:

"You go out, I don't want to see you again. When Tan'er becomes the throne in the future, you don't want to appear in front of me anymore."

Mu Rong looked at Li Heng, bowed to him lightly, and then exited the side hall.

He opened the gate of Hanyuan Hall, and Li Tan's subordinates rushed into the hall. At this time, the soldiers and eunuchs in the hall were lying on both sides, allowing Li Tan's troops to escort them out.

Li Tan glanced at Mu Rong, and when Mu Rongzhi heard the notification that the experience rewards had arrived, he even said flatteringly:
"Xiao Muzi welcomes His Majesty!"

Li Tan did not correct his wrong address, but said:

"Mu Rong, you should continue to be in charge of Dongchang. I'm going to see my father."

After saying this, Li Tan directly stepped into the Hanyuan Hall.

For Li Heng, the father, Li Tan also has complicated feelings.

He had already left Lingwu when he crossed over to fuse the memory of the original owner, that is to say, he had never seen Li Heng after this new Li Tan appeared.

But combining the memory of his predecessor, Li Heng's impression is still very deep.

This father doesn't have a lot of airs, and he is good to himself. Some scenes from his childhood will also come to Li Tan's mind.

And after arriving in Longyou, Li Heng also supported him, and it was also due to Li Heng that he was able to develop insignificantly for so long.

Smelling the smell of medicine in the air, Li Tan walked to Li Heng's palace.

I only saw Li Heng wearing a dragon robe, but the eunuchs serving him had already gone out, and it was difficult for him to maintain a sitting posture due to hemiplegia.

However, Li Heng still sat stubbornly, trying to maintain the dignity of an emperor.

Seeing Li Heng like this, Li Tan suddenly swallowed many words he had prepared before.

He respectfully saluted Li Heng and said:

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

Li Heng didn't speak, Li Tan walked up to Yuta, his saber hit the steps, making a thumping sound.

Li Tan brought some cushions to make Li Heng sit more comfortably, and walked down Yuta again.

However, instead of continuing to kneel and sit on the ground, he dragged a wooden stool and sat on it casually.

Li Heng didn't speak when Li Tan walked up to Yuta, but seeing Li Heng sitting like this, Li Heng said instead:
"Among my sons, you are the most rude, why are you still like this now? Won't your minister persuade you?"

Li Tan said calmly:

"Only Bi Gong would talk about it occasionally, but I thought he was too wordy, so I gradually stopped talking about it."

"How is Mr. Bi?"

"It's okay, but the winter in Longyou is cold, and Bi Gong is not very able to suffer from the cold, so it's better to stay in the greenhouse."

"Where's Fang Guan?"

Li Tan curled his lips and said: "The old man is in good health, and he took a new concubine before I left."

"Is Du Hongjian here?"

"Du Jiedu is ashamed to see you, so this time I will leave him to defend against Tubo in Longshang."

The two of them seemed to be chatting at home, Li Heng asked casually, and Li Tan answered casually.

Li Heng looked at this son, and thought of his own body again, he sighed and said:

"I can't do it."

Li Tan didn't speak, Li Heng continued:

"An emperor who has to be waited on by others, there is no way to suppress the foreign court. As an emperor, I am already dead."

"Father, I will invite the best doctor."

"No matter how good the imperial physician is, there is nothing he can do."

Both Li Heng and Li Tan were silent.

After a long time, Li Heng said:

"You make a plan before you act. How is the ceremony going?"

"These are all handed over to Bi Gong."

"Heh, that's the right person to find, Mr. Bi is best at these things."

"I'm tired, I'll leave after asking you a few more words."

"Father, please ask."

"First, after I abdicate, what will the queen do?"

"Queen Zhang is my aunt. My biological mother is no longer here. Naturally, I will be honored as the Empress Dowager and live in the palace with my father."

"Second, what about your brother?"

"The brothers in Chang'an have already settled down. Brother Qi is absolutely safe in Shu. I want to change the clan system, but I haven't thought about it yet. I will discuss it with my father later. Only brother... .”

"Don't tell me about the clan affairs, how are you going to deal with it, Chu'er?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Someone suggested that I kill Brother Huang, and someone suggested that I imprison Brother Huang, but I don't want to."

Li Heng closed his eyes, and didn't pursue this question anymore, he looked at Li Tan and asked:
"What about your grandfather?"

"Grandfather likes Xingqing Palace, so let grandfather continue to live in Xingqing Palace. By the way, father, do you like Daming Palace or Taiji Palace?"

Li Tan's rhetorical question stunned Li Heng for a moment, and he said:
"I still prefer Daming Palace."

"Then please continue to live in the Daming Palace after your father abdicates. It seems that having more palaces is also beneficial."

Li Heng finally said:
"The ministers of the previous dynasty, use them if they can be used, and let them go if they can't. There are not many of these veteran ministers who are capable. I am far inferior to you in employing people."

"Guo Ziyi is not good at fighting, but he is loyal to the imperial court. The national war is not a joke, and you should preside over it with maturity and prudence. You can't change the commander easily. After I abdicate, Guo Ziyi will be loyal to you, so don't doubt anything else."

"I know this. The battle in Xiangzhou is still handed over to Guo Shuai."

Li Heng closed his eyes, he was a little weak after talking so much, he took a break and said:
"Li Fuguo, you are going to kill him."

"I've already killed."

Li Heng didn't show too surprised, he nodded and said:
"I handed you a mess, I am ashamed of my ancestors, now this is the punishment of my ancestors."

After saying this, Li Heng said to Li Tan:
"Bring Gao Lishi back. Your grandfather cannot do without him. Yu Chaoen is not like Li Fuguo. Let him come back to serve me."

Li Tan said without hesitation:

"Okay. The minister is leaving."
