Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Li Shimin couldn't accept it, he really couldn't accept it,

Qin Tianjian!
It is different from other departments, and the meaning it represents is also very different. If a country does not even have the Qintian Prison, and even the old Heavenly Master in the Qintian Prison has escaped, then...
What does this represent?
Is... is the country going to perish?
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and sat down slowly. He didn't clean the dust on the stool. He just sat down and held his head in his hands. He didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Li Junxian slowly walked over.

"Your Majesty, people in the palace said that the last time they saw Yuan Tianshi was on the same night that Your Majesty went to Dayan. After that, no one saw Yuan Tianshi again."

"No one knows where Yuan Tianshi has gone. Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Yuan Tianshi may have some things to deal with..."

Li Junxian didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say this. He also knew that words were useless.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and slowly shook his head.

"he's gone."

Li Shimin's voice was hoarse, as if he had just scratched a stone, the road, or the glass. It was extremely harsh and powerless.

"If Yuan Tianshi really goes out to visit old friends and deal with things, he will definitely let me know. He is gone. Alas..."

Li Shimin sighed.

He looked at the room under the candlelight again and swallowed hard.

"Celestial Master, Heavenly Master, even if you have to leave, you might as well say something to me. You and I have been friends for so long, and I have never treated you badly."

"Or is it that the Tang Dynasty is so ill that even you have no choice but to run away overnight? Hahaha..., hey..."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

He sighed again, stood up slowly, and walked outside.

Li Junxian hurriedly followed.

The moonlight is like water, and the flowers planted in Qintian Prison are reflected on the wall next to it. Occasionally, the night wind blows, swaying gently, and the flowers are lovely.

Simultaneously,

On the wall, when Li Shimin passed by, his figure was also reflected.

However, compared to before coming, Li Shimin's waist seemed to be bent a little more when he left.

Night falls.

In the imperial city, it was extremely quiet.

After coming out of Qintian Prison, you turned a corner and reached Tai Chi Palace. For some reason, when Li Shimin passed by the gate of Kunning Palace, his steps suddenly paused.

Outside Kunning Palace, the Jinwu Guards on duty immediately saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hand to signal them to level up.

The double doors of Kunning Palace were still closed.

But there seemed to be laughter coming from the yard behind the gate.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, stared deeply at the gate of Kunning Palace, and turned to leave. However, after taking two steps, he stopped again, turned around, and directly reached out to push open the gate of Kunning Palace. .

It's been three years!
In the past three years, he has never set foot here!
However, for some reason today, Li Shimin wanted to see Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his father.

Squeak….
The heavy door of Kunning Palace slowly opened.

The moonlight in the yard suddenly tilted towards Li Shimin.

And at the same time,
The laughter in the yard was all instant news.

Everyone looked at the door and saw Li Shimin.

Li Yuan was sitting in the middle of the courtyard.

The palace maid was beside him, playing games with him.

However, with the appearance of Li Shimin, everything seemed to have stopped, and it was so frozen.

Li Shimin swallowed.

Looking at the old man drinking alone under the moonlight.

His eyes were as deep as the endless night.

"Father...Father."

Li Shimin shouted softly.

Li Yuan took a sip of wine.

In his cloudy eyes, it seemed as if the moonlight had filtered in, making him look even glossier than before.

Put down the wine glass.

Li Yuan wrapped his clothes around him and waved his hand to make all the palace maids around him retreat.

"How did you come?"

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin who was slowly walking over and asked softly with a smile.

"Father, I...I...I went to Qintian Prison."

"Passing by here, I heard laughter in my father's courtyard, so I couldn't help but push the door open and come in."

Li Shimin's voice was trembling.

It's been three years. He hasn't spoken to Li Yuan in three years. Now, looking at this Li Yuan who has exhausted his beauty, his body is trembling unnaturally.

Li Yuan smiled softly and nodded slowly.

"That's it."

"sit."

"How is Master Yuan Tian? How are you doing lately? Erlang, what did you ask?"

Li Yuan looked into Li Shimin's eyes, and it could be heard that he was also trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart.

Li Shimin sat directly opposite Li Yuan.

He pursed his lips and breathed, feeling a little numb.

"He, hey..."

"Father, Master Yuan Tianshi has left and left Qintian Prison without a trace. If I hadn't wanted to visit Qintian Prison today, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Master Yuan Tianshi had really left here."

"He's gone, and I don't know where Yuan Tianshi has gone."

Li Shimin's words have some wheels.

To be honest, his thoughts are confused now.

Not only the matter with Dayan, but also Yuan Tiangang leaving without saying goodbye today, the whole person felt a little confused.

"gone?"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Yuan was also stunned, a little shocked and a little at a loss.

To be honest, this news really surprised him.

"Why did Yuan Tianshi leave? Where did he go?"

Li Yuan asked hurriedly.

Li Shimin gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Father, my son... I don't know. When Yuan Tianshi left, my son had just gone to Dayan. There was no news, and there was no news left in Qintian Prison. A note or something.”

"Perhaps, Yuan Tianshi is not happy staying here."

Li Shimin sighed, gently hugged his knees with his arms, looked at Li Yuan, and said slowly.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said nothing.

He reached out and filled a glass of wine for Li Shimin.

"Tianshi Yuan is truly talented and knowledgeable. What a pity."

Li Yuan also sighed: "However, Erlang, you don't have to worry too much. Although Yuan Tianshi is strong, he can't change anything in the end. The Tang Dynasty ultimately depends on you, on the loyal ministers in the court, and on the world to serve the people." People with lofty ideals who care about the common people!”

"Erlang, it's only been three years since I last saw you. You...you are much older, and your gray hair has already appeared."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, raised his wine glass, and slowly said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also quickly picked up the wine glass and smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"Is it because of the great inflammation?" Li Yuan asked again.

The wine glass in Li Shimin's hand was about to spill out.

Lift your head and drink up. Li Shimin knelt down and sat up, holding the wine glass and filling it respectfully for Li Yuan.

"Yes, Father, Dayan is a big stone in my heart now, and it is also a machete on my neck."

"My son is really afraid of the country of Dayan. They are developing too fast. They annexed Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla half a month ago. The land they own, to be honest, my father, can already Comparable to the Tang Dynasty.”

Li Shimin couldn't help but confided.

He talked a lot, talked endlessly, and poured out all the worries in his heart.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin quietly.

"Father, my son... I am wrong!"

Finally, Li Shimin suddenly stood up and knelt down.

There was melancholy between his eyes.

"In the beginning, I probably shouldn't have been the emperor!"

"It would be great to be a free and easy prince. You don't have to face such difficult changes, and you don't have to sleep all day and night."

Li Shimin's voice was deep and hoarse.

Li Yuan didn't speak, just looked at him.

There was some silence in the yard.

There was only the rustle of leaves in the wind.

"Get up, it's inappropriate to say this now after all."

"You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty now, and you are responsible for the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect the emergence of Dayan... You may have done a good enough job."

"In all the dynasties, no emperor has ever encountered such a scene. Erlang, hold on. If you make it through, you will be the true emperor of the ages. If you can't hold on, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to escape the fate of the second generation and death. ”

"But, Great Yan, I feel that it can exist for a long, long time."

"I read every issue of Dayan's weekly newspaper. Emperor Dayan, every step he takes is perfect and steady. Step by step, he has reached where he is now."

"The Tang Dynasty has undergone considerable changes in your hands. I heard that the concept of "sharing the family with the whole family" has been implemented, and the people of the world are extremely grateful to the Tang Dynasty court and to you, Erlang."

"This is a very good step, Erlang. You are also starting to learn to jump out of the prosperity of past dynasties. Follow Dayan and learn from Dayan."

"Datang, there may be a turning point."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

He looked at Li Shimin with a somewhat complicated look.

He knew that Li Shimin was definitely not to blame for the current situation in Datang. On the contrary, if he were still in this position, he might not be able to do as well as Li Shimin.

"It's not your fault. If I'm to blame, it's because Dayan is too strong. If it's to blame, it's because Emperor Dayan is too evil. Hey... Emperor Dayan, why isn't he my minister of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yuan sighed leisurely.

Li Shimin's face turned bitter. He sat down, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said bitterly: "Who says it's not true?"

"Father, son... I don't know how many nights I have dreamed that Emperor Dayan is a citizen of our Tang Dynasty, a minister of our Tang Dynasty, and the successor of our Li family. I have dreamed about it more than once. I have seen that the Tang Dynasty achieved great achievements in his hands, and his achievements far exceeded those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and far exceeded the great achievements of all previous dynasties. "

"But... God is unfair, God is unfair!"

Li Shimin lamented.

"Who says it's not?" Li Yuan said slowly,

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass again.

He sat in the yard and talked with Li Yuan for a long time before standing up to leave.

Come out of Kunning Palace.

Li Shimin felt that the heavy pressure on his body was relieved a lot.

After all, talking is always better than holding it in.

….….….….….….
Fengyi Hall.

When Li Shimin came back, a palace maid and Queen Changsun were still playing chess.

The two of them played extremely seriously.

Even Li Shimin didn't notice when he entered the door.

It was only when Li Shimin stood aside and poured tea by himself that the two of them woke up.

"His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, you are back."

Queen Changsun and the maids raised their heads.

Li Shimin nodded slightly: "Guanyin Maid, you can continue playing chess and don't worry about me."

"Your Majesty, what happened again today? Why are you so depressed?" Queen Changsun said without moving.

"There is news from Goguryeo that Silla and Baekje are also gone."

Li Shimin whispered.

"Huh? This..."

Hearing this, Queen Changsun frowned slightly: "Dayan also annexed Silla and Baekje?"

"Yes." Li Shimin took a deep breath: "Dayan has completely pacified the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo."

"And today, I went to the Qintian Prison, and Yuan Tianshi also left."

Li Shimin said again.

"Ah? Where has Master Yuan gone?" Queen Changsun was confused.

"I don't know, but he has been gone for a long time. Hey... maybe Yuan Tianshi has seen through the future of our Datang Dynasty, so he left as soon as possible."

Li Shimin said calmly.

These words,

He did not speak to outsiders, but Queen Changsun was different from outsiders after all.

"No way?" Empress Changsun's face became more solemn: "Could it be that Yuan Tianshi went to Dayan?"

she guessed.

Li Shimin shook his head: "I don't know, but I hope he goes into seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, if he really joins the Great Yan."

"Emperor Dayan... What does Emperor Dayan think of me? It is estimated that I, as well as Datang, will become Dayan's laughing stock."

Li Shimin suddenly felt a headache.

This was a possibility that he had never dared to think about before.

However, now that Empress Changsun brought it up, she had to face it.

This is the worst possible outcome.

The Qintian Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, Jianzheng, has taken refuge in Dayan. Guaiguai, if this news gets out, I'm afraid...
Li Shimin was numb.

Having said this, it was natural that the chess game could no longer be played.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both silent.

Silent for a long time.
.
….….….….….
Naturally, this news cannot be concealed.

A few days later, the news spread throughout Chang'an.

The whole city was boiling.

Goguryeo was no stranger to them. They were considered old friends. After all, how many years had passed since the previous dynasty conquered Goguryeo?
"Hey, have you heard? Goguryeo is gone and occupied by Dayan. Damn, Dayan is really terrifying!"

"Who says it's not true? I also heard that Dayan also got rid of Silla and Baekje. Damn it, the fighting power of Dayan's army is too strong."

"An army of 400,000 people. I was doing business in Liaodong City at that time. Goguryeo wanted to take advantage of Dayan, but who could have thought that in the end, hundreds of thousands of corpses were left directly in front of Liaodong City, and then they broke up and ran away. Within a day, it was swept by the building.”

"Four hundred thousand troops? Hiss... In this hot weather, Liaodong City must be covered in blood, right?"

"That's right, I heard that it took more than ten days to disperse. Great Yan is really too strong. I really don't know how we can resist it if one day it attacks our country, the Tang Dynasty."
