Chapter 610 Let Him Come Back

On this bloody night, I don't know how many people in Chang'an and outside the city could not sleep. The lights in the imperial study were turned on all night. Na Yan, Pei Ji and other important officials of the court did not go home at all, and they kept discussing how to deal with the aftermath in the court room.It wasn't until dawn that the executioner who beheaded outside Xi Nei Yuan returned home exhausted, and the door of the imperial study room was finally opened from the inside, and Li Yuan's face with snow-white hair turned pale overnight. Came out calmly.

The emperor had gray hair all night, and he didn't know how many court ladies and eunuchs he frightened.

After Li Yuan walked out of the imperial study room, he took a deep breath, looked at the white sky in the east, lost his mind for a while, then walked slowly towards the bedroom, several eunuchs followed closely behind him, hanging down He walked cautiously, not even daring to make his footsteps a little louder.After walking more than ten meters, Li Yuan paused. He glanced back at the maids and servants, and ordered in a low voice, "Get some breakfast and send it to the queen's palace. I'm going to see the queen, and have breakfast with the queen." .”

Several servants quickly agreed, turned around and left quickly.The farther they were from the emperor, the more relaxed they felt.

Li Yuan walked to the queen's bedroom alone, waved his hand to signal the people outside to keep quiet, and walked in.Queen Dou's life is actually coming to an end. A woman who looked very graceful at first is now like a dead tree.He only drank some porridge every day, but he would spit out more than half of the bowl after feeding it.Most of the time, the mind is in a state of chaos, and the eyes may not be opened several times a day, and even if they are opened, most people cannot be recognized.

She often said some nonsense words, and the maids who served her were terrified when they heard those words.What was buried, what was lost, what was hit to the wall and died, what was the old nun, what was the blessing of Buddha, etc. She said these things intermittently, and almost everyone who often served her could recite them.But because it is too messy, no one knows what kind of story these words gather together.

It was precisely because the queen was in a daze and said too many foolish words, so these court ladies were also forbidden to leave the palace.It was as if they were imprisoned in this big courtyard with the queen, and they had nothing to do all day except serve the queen.As the saying goes, there is no filial son after a long illness. Although the queen has a high status, these maids serve such an old woman who looks half dead all day long, and the emperor has not been here for a long time. After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be slack and contempt.

So when Li Yuan walked into the queen's bedroom, the guards and eunuchs on duty at the door all looked ugly.Li Yuan obviously didn't notice this, and when he walked softly into the Queen's residence, his expression suddenly changed.

There was no one in the room, only the woman with cloudy eyes kept her eyes open, stretched out her hand and tried her best to pick up the glass of water beside the bed, but she was indeed too weak, and when she touched the glass, she couldn't reach it. arrive.Li Yuan's face instantly became extremely ugly, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.

He quickly walked over to sit beside Dou Shi, picked up the cup and was about to feed it to the queen, but found that the cup was empty.

The queen seemed to recognize him, and two lines of old tears could not help but fall down.

There was an unpleasant smell coming from her body. It was not the smell of a dying person, but the smell of someone who hadn't bathed for at least half a month. Li Yuan lifted the quilt and found that Dou was not wearing any clothes. Immediately after the quilt was lifted, a foul smell came out.

Li Yuan's expression was suffocated for a moment, and then there was a sadness in his eyes.

"Has the prince not been here for a long time?"

He held the queen in his arms and covered the cup and asked softly.

Dou Shi nodded tremblingly, crying silently.

Li Yuan patted her body, as if coaxing a child to sleep: "It's all my fault, I pushed all the affairs of the court to him. I also wanted to let the prince know how to be an emperor earlier, but I forgot In order to let him come to see you more. I have too many things these days. The Tang Dynasty was only established, and there are still a few confidantes who have not been wiped out. My mind is on other things, but I have ignored you. side."

He said softly: "Don't worry, I won't sleep in the imperial study from now on, I will go back here to sleep every day, and eat with you every day."

"Where's Bishamon?"

Dou looked into Li Yuan's eyes and asked, with a hoarse voice like the sound of the wind blowing through the next door: "Just now I heard the servants outside say that Bishamon is dead? Tell me, is it true? And Yuanji... Where is Yuanji?"

"Bishamon..."

Li Yuan's eyes turned red, and then he said in a peaceful voice: "Why, I'll ask someone to bring him here to say hello to you in a while. I asked him to handle government affairs review memorials in the East Palace, and he has to read and write every day to learn etiquette. Busier."

"do not fool me……"

Dou cried and shook her head and said: "Although I am confused most of the time, I still know how many sons I have. Bishamon is dead, Yuanji is also dead, Shimin is rebellious, right? Right?! "

Li Yuan was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "Yes"

"Let him come back, bring him back... Before I die, can you let me see my son again? I beg you... Being your son is the most pitiful and sad thing in the world. I can't let They all died before me...I want to see him, and I want to see Shimin...I beg you, stop killing people and let Shimin let him come back, okay?"

"it is good!"

Li Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "I'll let them all come back."

After putting down his wife, he covered the quilt, and said softly, "I'll send someone to pass the decree and bring them both back to see you, don't worry."

He walked out of the room, not daring to look back at the woman.

On this day, a total of 130 maids, servants, and bodyguards in the queen's bedroom were killed.The corpse was chopped up and fed to the pigs. When the guards rushed into the bedroom to kill people, the howls resounded through the sky, and an old woman laughed wildly.

"It's better to die, it's better to die!"

……

……

"Pei Ji..."

Li Yuan glanced at several important ministers standing under the table, frowned slightly and said, "Send someone to Li Xiaogong's army and tell him to bring Shimin back. Empress...Empress still wants to see Shimin again."

"According to the order!"

Hearing these words, Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of her hanging heart.His Royal Highness the King of Qin must not die again, otherwise it will really be the turn of a concubine to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty.The concubine succeeds to the throne, and the name is not right and the word is not right. Who knows what will happen again in the world?It's the one who supports himself now, even if the emperor can't recognize him, but his status as the son of the son is there, if a son of the son succeeds to the throne, can he be convinced?

With that person's status and strength, even if he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, at least he would have to be crowned king to guard one side.If King Qin dies at that time, and the emperor randomly chooses a concubine prince to succeed him, no matter where that person is, he only needs to climb up and shout, and with his prestige in the army, he can easily raise hundreds of thousands of troops. Can it stop his soldiers?And even if his status is not bright, after all, he is still easier to accept than a bastard.

At that time, those restless guys in the court will follow suit, and the world of Tang Dynasty will not be guaranteed to repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty.

"The minister will send someone to Xi'an King's Army to deliver the decree."

Pei Ji whispered.

"Well, Shimin's crimes are unforgivable, but the empress's... the empress's days are numbered, and I can't let her not even realize this last wish. As for how to convict Shimin after bringing him back..."

"I believe that the Queen's wish should be the most important thing. Your Majesty's first priority is filial piety. The most important thing is to let the King of Qin come back to the Queen's side to fulfill his filial piety. As for how to convict... the Queen is not in good health now and cannot withstand the blow. "

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right... I can't stand the blow."

He was silent for a while, looked at the important ministers below and said: "Duan Zhixuan can no longer lead the army, he did not come back with Shimin, after all, he still has some ways of a courtier, let him hand over a memorial of guilt, I will give it to him A vain position of doctor Guanglu, let him go back to Chang'an. Li Daozong went to replace him, and the [-] troops outside the eastern capital had to hold on tighter... As for Wang Shichong"

"I thought that..."

Xiao glanced at Li Yuan, and said in a low voice: "I think, since Li Xian is in charge of the Henan province, and His Majesty crowned him king, the 30 elite soldiers under his command should be put to good use. Li Xian led people to attack the Eastern Capital and destroy Wang Shichong, and Li Daozong led the army to assist him. After the Eastern Capital was captured, Li Daozong was left behind, and then Li Xian was recruited back to Chang'an to serve."

Pei Ji sneered inwardly after hearing these words, and said to Xiao, your plan is too taken for granted.Is Yan Wang Li Xian as idiot as you imagined?If he takes down Dongdu, will he return to Chang'an?

"Now Li Xian leads tens of thousands of troops and is stationed on the banks of the Weishui River..."

Xiao whispered a reminder.

His original intention was to remind the emperor that Li Xian led tens of thousands of elite soldiers so close to Chang'an that he had to defend, and it was better to fight him back earlier.By attacking Dongdu, some of his troops were consumed, so it would be better for him to fight Dou Jiande again.Unexpectedly, when Li Yuan heard his words, his expression froze for a moment, and then he said something that disappointed Xiao Dawei.

"Yeah...he is so close to Dongdu. If that's the case, let him come to Chang'an to see me. This time he escorted Princess Pingyang back, and he still has some credit. If he has meritorious service, he will be rewarded. Let him bring five hundred When the soldiers enter the city, tidy up the Prince Qi's mansion and let him stay temporarily."

"Your Majesty! This is not in line with the system!"

Xiao was shocked and turned pale, just about to persuade
