Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 162 Goodbye Li Shimin, Taizong bestows jade!

"Datang? It's really exciting!"

Ying Yinman is looking forward to it.

She had heard about this dynasty after the Qin Dynasty before, which was extremely powerful.

I originally thought that with the changes in history, this dynasty would no longer exist, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to go there now.

"You'll be looking forward to it more later."

Cui Yuan smiled and said: "Because in the era we are going to, when Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was about to pass away, an extremely outrageous royal scandal was happening in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Oh!"

"A royal scandal?"

When Ying Yinman and Ying Zheng heard this, their curiosity was aroused.

It's hard to imagine what Cui Yuan could call an extremely outrageous royal scandal.

"lets go!"

Cui Yuan didn't explain much.

After saying that, the three of them crossed the time and space gate and came to the parallel time and space 900 years later.

……

Tang Dynasty, the first month of the 22nd year of Zhenguan.

In the Tai Chi Palace, sitting on the dragon chair, was a gray-haired emperor, none other than Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty - Li Shimin.

At this time, his eyes were full of exhaustion and loneliness, exuding the decaying aura of dying.

In front of him stood the respectful Prince Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty.

But if someone gets close and looks at Li Tai's eyes carefully, they can find a trace of undetectable panic and guilt in his eyes.

Twenty years ago, when Cui Yuan first came to the Tang Dynasty, the prince was originally the eldest son Li Chengqian.

Many ministers and aristocratic families also recognized it. Especially after Cui Yuan took action to destroy the Cui family of Qinghe and broke a leg of the aristocratic family, they did not dare to resist, thinking that Li Chengqian was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

But it is a pity that Li Chengqian broke his thigh in a horse accident.

He also gave up on himself and fell in love with Hu Fu and men. After becoming a Long Yang, the position of prince was completely away from him.

Since ancient times, no king has been so immoral!
As for the second son Li Tai, he longed for the throne to the point of madness.

He even swore that as long as he could inherit the throne, he would kill all his sons to ensure that the next emperor would be passed on to Li Zhi and not his own descendants.

Li Shimin was so moved at first that he almost passed the throne to Li Tai, but he was quickly reminded by the ministers around him.

Even though tiger poison does not eat its seeds, Li Tai's statement does not matter how credible it is.

Even if it is true, if he treats his son like this, how can he be required to abide by brotherly love?
Li Shimin was convinced, so he sent King Li Taifeng to the Japanese country that had been completely conquered to make up for this second son as much as possible.

Li Shimin had only three sons with his first wife, the eldest grandson Wugao of the Tang Dynasty.

With Li Chengqian deposed, Li Tai was too ambitious, so only the youngest son Li Zhi was left.

However, Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Zhi. He felt that although the third son did not have the status of a heroic and domineering sage, he was still an independent, gentle, gentle, generous and benevolent lord.

When he returned from conquering Goguryeo, he had a poisonous sore on his body. When Li Zhi saw it, he immediately stepped forward and sucked out the poison with his mouth.

He also gave himself medicine himself. At that time, he had difficulty moving, so Li Zhi took care of him personally. He took the car by himself, and Li Zhi walked beside the car.

It can be said that Li Shimin was extremely satisfied with Li Zhi.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that behind Li Zhi's filial piety, there was an extremely dark secret!
And that is also the source of Li Zhi's current panic!
'Why did my father suddenly call me over?Could it be that he discovered...'

Li Zhi's heart was in his throat, and he was very afraid that Li Shimin would suddenly pick up a machete and hack him to death.

Fortunately, this scene did not happen. Li Shimin called him over for other purposes.

"Pheasant slave~"

"I called you here this time because I want to give you something."

Li Shimin called Li Zhi's nickname, which few people knew.

Then he raised his hand and took out several brand new books.

Li Zhi was stunned, looking at the book and staring at the name on it, his breathing was about to stop!
Because he recognized what this book was. It was the twelve chapters of "Emperor's Model" that his father had worked hard on over the years and carefully written!

When he was taking care of his father, he once read the draft of "Emperor's Model", which recorded all Li Shimin's insights into the way of the emperor!

It can be said that for myself, this is a truly priceless treasure!

Li Shimin handed "Emperor Fan" to the stunned Prince Li Zhi.

Seeing his son in a daze, he thought he was confused because he didn't know "Emperor Fan".

So he warned seriously: "This is my father's sentiments after serving as emperor for more than 20 years."

"Remember, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you should learn from the ancient sages and wise kings."

"If you want to be like me, you absolutely cannot imitate. Because if you take the method from above, you can only get the middle, and if you take the method from the middle, you can only get the bottom."

"Since I came to the throne, I have made many mistakes: I have never ceased to display splendid jewels, palaces and pavilions have been built frequently, dogs, horses, eagles and falcons have traveled far and wide, and I have traveled far and wide to relieve my troubles."

"All of these are the biggest mistakes I have made. Please do not follow my example."

Li Zhi was deeply touched by what Li Shimin said sincerely. He immediately knelt down and thanked him: "My son, I must obey my father's teachings."

"However, my father will definitely live a long life. It is too early to teach his son the "Emperor's Style" now!"

"Longevity?"

Li Shimin laughed at himself: "Changsun Wuji and the others still shout long live me every day, but as you can see, it's of no use at all."

Li Zhi burst into tears, feeling increasingly guilty for what he had done.

"do not Cry."

Li Shimin comforted his third son and said with a smile: "Birth, aging, illness and death are human nature, and no one can escape it."

"Father, if I can live to be 50 years old, I will already live longer than [-]% of the people in this world."

"And I know my situation. I have been harmed by those deceitful immortal masters and have been unable to recover for a long time."

"Instead of waiting until the end and being unable to do anything on the sick bed, it is better to take advantage of the last time now to teach you how to become a qualified emperor.

"Now unless the real immortal takes action, he will only live for another one or two years at most."

A real fairy?
When Li Zhi heard this, his expression changed and he said quickly: "Father, didn't you say that in the early years of Zhenguan, the True Immortal Cui Yuan, the First Emperor and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty came to the Tang Dynasty and brought salt-making methods to the Tang Dynasty, defeating the Tang Dynasty? The Cui family of Qinghe?"

"If we can find Cui Shenxian and the others and let him take action, my father will definitely recover!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, do you think I haven't looked for you?"

Li Zhi looked stunned!
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and continued: "Why have I been obsessed with the art of immortality all these years? I have been constantly seeking immortal masters and taking elixirs?"

"In addition to not wanting to die so early, I also want to find Cui Shenxian, the First Emperor and Han Gaozu who disappeared for no reason!"

"Pheasant slave, do you know?" "The three of them suddenly appeared out of thin air from the West City. In order to find them, I not only moved the entire West City."

"We also emptied out all the original Western Market and dug into the ground. We are still sending people to search day and night."

"But... you also saw that it has no effect."

Li Zhi's face was ashen.

He had finally found a hope, but unexpectedly it turned out to be another deeper despair.

It's right to think about it. His father told him about Cui Shenxian in the first place. How could he not have tried it before?
The reason why it hasn’t been said yet is that it must have failed.

"Hey~"

Li Shimin sighed, his old face slowly lowered, and he looked at his feet.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to 20 years ago, to the beautiful era when he was high-spirited and met Cui Shenxian for the first time.

At that time, I was a wise ruler with a high heart and a bohemian spirit.

But now, he is just a poor man who is afraid of death.

"Not finding Cui Shenxian is actually... actually a good thing."

If we meet again, Cui Shenxian will definitely be extremely disappointed when he sees himself like this!
"Oh?"

"Your Majesty Li Er, do you really not want to see me again?"

In the empty Tai Chi Hall, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded.

Li Shimin suddenly raised his head. In this world, there is only one person who has the courage to call him Li Er!

Li Zhi instantly drew his sword and flew in front of Li Shimin to protect him. The vigilance in his heart soared to the highest level!
This is the core of the palace and the place where court meetings are held. How come there is a sudden sound?

"Come here, escort..."

Li Zhi just wanted to call out to the guards outside the palace, but he was held down by the excited Li Shimin.

Looking back in doubt, he was horrified to find that his father rarely smiled after his old age.

Now...I am laughing until tears come to my eyes!

"Cui...Cui Shenxian, why are you here suddenly?"

Li Shimin's vision was blurry, and he looked at the three people who appeared out of thin air in front of him. He straightened his back and straightened his dragon robes at a loss.

It's like a fan who has met his idol and wants to show his best side.

Li Zhi opened his mouth and was completely shocked!
I only talked about Cui Shenxian on the front foot, but Cui Shenxian really came on the back foot, and he appeared in such a magical way!
It turned out to be just like what my father described, it appeared out of thin air without any warning!

"It's like this again without even saying hello, it just comes and disappears suddenly. It was like this last time, and it's like this... too this time, wuwuwu~"

Li Shimin covered his mouth and cried: "You haven't changed at all, and I...I am already old! I have become afraid of death!"

"Damn it! I'm so embarrassed right now! Woohoo!"

Li Shimin burst into tears.

Cui Yuan and Ying Zheng did not interrupt with words, but watched silently with smiles.

However, Ying Yinman was confused and didn't understand why Li Shimin was so excited.

"Why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly collapse and cry to us?"

Cui Yuan took the girl's hand and explained softly: "Daughter-in-law, you made a mistake."

"He is not crying to us, but to his past self."

Ying Zheng nodded silently, agreeing with Cui Yuan's statement.

Do Li Shimin and Cui Yuan have a good relationship?
It was indeed good, but it was far from a life-and-death friendship. After all, the time we spent together was too short.

Now, although part of his tears were the excitement of seeing Cui Yuan and himself again, more of them were because of the guilt and unwillingness he felt when he recalled the past.

"Why are you crying?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "You are Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty. Is it embarrassing to cry without any scars?"

Cui Yuanyu said: "That's right! Li Er, you guys, don't you think you are getting older and your courage is getting older?"

"Ouch! If you cry a little more, believe it or not, I will go outside Chang'an City and tell this matter right now?"

Ying Zheng: "Add me one!"

"Ancestral Dragon! Urge the gods! Don't go too far!"

Li Shimin retorted subconsciously, wiped away his tears, stood up suddenly, and even his voice was so angry that he was a little bit angry!
Not seeing each other for 20 years, Cui Shenxian and Cui Yuan not only have not aged, but are still as annoying as ever!
Cui Yuan and Ying Zheng laughed: "Haha!"

"That's right. You're obviously not dead yet, so don't act like you've lost all your thoughts!"

"That's right. He lowered his face, as if he had been drained by alcohol and sex."

Ying Zheng and Cui Yuan joked, and Li Shimin's mood improved for the first time in a long time, and he even felt several years younger.

The three of them reminisced about old times for a while, and then began to introduce the people around them.

"This is my third son and the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty - Li Zhi, nicknamed Zhinu."

"Zhinu, please meet your Uncle Cui soon."

"I've met Cui Shenxian."

Li Zhi respectfully saluted. After the ceremony, he looked at Cui Yuan anxiously.

Although his father asked him to call him uncle, and he seemed to be younger than him, Li Zhi still didn't have the courage to call him uncle.

This is a real fairy!

"Hello! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Cui Yuan returned the gift enthusiastically, and very rudely took out a gold nugget weighing half a catty and gave it to Li Zhi.

Then he introduced Ying Yinman: "This is the wife I just married. Her name is Ying Yinman. She is the ninth princess of His Majesty the First Emperor."

"The Ninth Princess of Zulong? Okay! Okay!"

Li Shimin said two good words in a row, looking at the shy girl and boy, he was extremely happy: "I didn't expect that after so many years, your kid actually got married without saying anything."

"You came too suddenly. I don't have any good gifts around me at the moment, so I'll just give this little jade pendant to the Ninth Princess!"

With that said, he took off a piece of crystal green gold-rimmed jade pendant between his sleeves and gave it to Ying Yinman. The girl took it and couldn't put it down.

Li Zhi on the side was almost stunned!

The Kingdom of Khotan (Myanmar) in the Western Regions has produced beautiful jade since ancient times. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the Kingdom of Khotan heard that the Tang Dynasty was powerful and wanted to surrender, so it sent envoys to offer jade belts and a large number of jade articles.

And this gold-rimmed jade pendant is one of the three most precious jade articles. It is ten times more precious than the gold nugget in my hand!
In the past, my father kept it close to his body and never left his body.

But now, he actually took the initiative to send it out without any hesitation!

Li Zhi is dizzy!
I feel like the shock I have experienced in the decades since I was born is not as great as it is today!
