I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 287 The Fall of the Emperor
Li Houde died.

He left without a sound, not even leaving a word of explanation.But his death still caused an uproar in Chang'an City.He is the grandson of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, the head of the Li family in Longxi, the cousin of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the royal family member of Miaohong. The presence.

Although he does not serve in the court, but his status is detached, no one can ignore his existence.

When the situation was delicate, he died suddenly, and people finally smelled something unusual from it.

……

Cui Huzhi, the head of the Cui family who was mourning at the Wang family, just walked out of the gate of the Wang family. After hearing the news, he glanced at Lu Daocheng, the head of the Lu family beside him, and sighed deeply.

"Why?"

Lu Daocheng's turbid old eyes flashed a trace of the sadness of a dead rabbit and a fox, he paused slightly, and twirled his beard.

"Of course the matter hasn't reached that point yet, and it won't involve us people. But who is Mr. Li? I'm afraid he is unwilling to bow his head to children in his octogenarian age..."

Cui Huzhi remained silent, and the two bid farewell at the gate of Wang's house.

"It's really up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen. Wang Zi'an, Wang Zi'an, I didn't expect to be spoiled by a child..."

Cui Huzhi sat in the car, muttering to himself.

"Patriarch, do you want me to take action..."

The old driver, who had been driving with his head depressed, pushed the bamboo hat on his head, revealing an old face.

Cui Huzhi closed his eyes slightly and shook his head.

"The overall situation has been decided. In this sensitive period, killing is useless, but it will cause unnecessary trouble. Let's take a look, maybe it can be used for me..."

Cui Huzhi's voice gradually became inaudible.

The old coachman tightened the reins in his hand and whipped out a loud whip.

……

Ever since Li Shimin's assassination, the Tai Chi Palace has been on guard.

The black-faced Yuchi Jingde directly took over the defense of Tai Chi Palace in the name of protecting the Supreme Emperor.The entire Taiji Palace was so impenetrable to the guards that not even a fly could fly out.With the internal and external communication cut off, Li Yuan felt as if someone was blindfolded and his ears were blocked, and he secretly gritted his teeth angrily.

This hateful black-faced thief!

Li Yuan gritted his teeth angrily.

But there was nothing he could do about it. Back then, it was Hei Si who killed his son, led his troops into the palace, and forced himself to issue a Zen edict.Now, can he be expected to be kind to him?

Li Yuan was stared at by Yuchi Jingde, unable to do anything.He could only create people desperately on his one-acre-three-point land. Fortunately, his good son had stuffed him with a lot of young women in the harem over the years, enough for him to toss about.

For more than ten days in a row, there was no news from the outside world, and Li Yuan became increasingly anxious.He threw Zhang Jieshu on the bed somewhat roughly, and when he was about to lift his gun and mount the horse, there was a cautious knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, there are people from outside the palace..."

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed, pushed Zhang Jieshu away, and jumped out of bed with his chest open.

"Where is it? Bring him to see me immediately!"

Li Yuan pushed open the door, looking a little excited.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time!

Li Yuan, who was in a good mood, didn't pay attention to the panic and uneasiness that flashed in the eyes of the disheveled Zhang Jieshu on the bed.

"Duke Cheng De passed away. Your Majesty ordered your servants to come to report the funeral to the Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty instructed your servants to tell them that the Supreme Emperor is old and must not be overly sad. Please take good care of your body and take care of yourself..."

Li Yuan was struck by lightning!

He stood up in disbelief, and grabbed the servant who came to deliver the message.

"Who did you say asked you to report the funeral?"

"It's Your Majesty—"

The servant who came to report the funeral was startled by Li Yuan's crazy appearance, and said in a trembling voice.Looking at the trembling little servant, Li Yuan's expression changed, and it took him a long time to let go of the servant's skirt in desperation, and waved his hand weakly.The little servant quickly ran away as if he had received an amnesty.

Li Yuanxiang was suddenly deprived of energy and energy, and suddenly aged a lot.He staggered out of the window, looking through the thinning branches to the distant sky.The autumn clouds are scattered and the wild geese fly south.

"It's late autumn again—"

Cheng Degong is three years older than himself, right?

He thought silently, his thoughts wandering, all the past, all in his heart.

At noon that day, the Supreme Emperor did not eat, and at night, he still did not eat.The servants who came to pass on the meal did not dare to disturb the Taishang Huang's thoughts, so they quietly retreated and ordered someone to warm up the meal again.

In the middle of the night, a haggard old monk, like a phantom, quietly appeared in the shadow of the hall again.

"Brother Pei is still so elusive, this skill is probably better than before—"

Hearing the intentional noise made by the old monk behind him, Li Yuan turned around and smiled lightly. While speaking, the dull eyes had regained the clarity of the past.

"Your Majesty, do you have something to tell the poor monk?"

"Pei Qing, how long have we known each other?"

Li Yuan didn't speak, but asked abruptly.The old monk Pei's eyes flashed, he looked up at Li Yuan, and immediately lowered his eyelids, and whispered a Buddha's name.

"It has been nearly 34 years since the spring of the second year of Renshou in the former Sui Dynasty."

"I think back then, when I met Brother Pei, we ate meat, drank wine in big bowls, and talked about the world's major events. Those extraordinary years are really memorable. Now your skill has become even more unfathomable, but the old man is already a down-to-earth man. I'm getting old."

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help smiling, with a rather sad tone.

"Time makes people old, and the poor monk has already lost his teeth. He can't compare to young people——Your Majesty's current situation doesn't seem to be very good?"

The old monk surnamed Pei seemed to have no intention of mentioning those years, so he changed the subject and asked in a low voice.

"In the past few years, how has the old man's situation been better?"

Li Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly, and the old monk named Pei remained silent.Li Yuan couldn't help feeling bored, and went straight back to his couch and sat down.

"The old man called Brother Pei here today. I don't want anything else. I just want to understand before I come. Where did the old man lose today?"

Brother Pei was silent for a while when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty was defeated by the numbers. Now that the world is united and the people's minds are settled, the fate of the world is no longer on your side, but your majesty wants to use the people of the world as pawns and go against the sky. Therefore, a strange person came out and broke the seven-day pursuit of souls." Disperse the poison."

"Who——could break this poison?"

Li Yuan's brows trembled, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Could it be that your Majesty has forgotten the old story of the formula of longevity..."

Before the old man surnamed Pei finished speaking, Li Yuan suddenly got up.

"Could it be that Ssangyong—"

"No, it's a young man named Wang Zi'an, maybe they are their descendants..."

Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, the old man surnamed Pei interrupted him directly.Hearing this, Li Yuan sat down slowly, with a wry smile on his face.

"I've heard about this young man. I never imagined that the old man has worked hard for many years, but in the end it was broken in his hands."
