Wentang

Chapter 825
Li Shimin was soon transferred to the Hall of Qinzheng, where he was taken care of by the eldest grandson Wugou himself, and the concubines and concubines of the harem were allowed to come and visit him.

Li Lizhi and Li Shu came over immediately, along with Li Tai and Yue Shui'er's family of five.

Seeing the two sisters who were harmonious on the surface, Yue Shui'er felt weird. After getting into the carriage, she said to Li Tai: "Oh, do you think my sister-in-law hated my little sister to death, and her good husband was snatched away?" half."

Li Tai's face darkened immediately: "What nonsense, my eldest sister is not this kind of person. The younger sister has been raised by their family for so many years, and with her intelligence, she has already guessed today's result."

Yue Shui'er said: "If you are prepared, you are prepared. You should be angry or you should be angry. Anyway, I am definitely not happy."

Li Tai was silent for a while before sighing: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, so what if she is unhappy?"

Yue Shui'er said: "What do you think the sage and the empress think? Just because the two precious daughters are married to the same person, in order to marry the daughter back to the eldest brother to be crowned king, and to retain the double title. Those who don't know think that the eldest brother is theirs. His dear son."

Li Tai said: "Okay, don't be a gossip, parents have their reasons for doing this."

Yue Shui'er exploded in an instant: "What? You say I'm a gossip woman? Li, you despise me, don't you, do you want to find a vixen, don't you. Go find it. I'll take the three children back to my mother's house, don't hinder me you."

Li Tai said in disbelief: "You...what are you talking about, I..."

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Yue Shui'er suddenly laughed: "Haha, how about it, are you surprised or not?"

It was only then that Li Tai realized that she was playing around, and said angrily, "Surprised, so surprised, I almost didn't get shocked."

But after he finished speaking, he also laughed himself: "Don't tell me, it's really surprising that it came so suddenly."

The atmosphere in the other carriage seemed a bit awkward. The two sisters looked out the window silently without saying a word.

In the end, Li Shu couldn't bear the atmosphere, and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I...I will make it clear to my mother, and let her take it back."

"Oh." Li Lizhi sighed after a while, turned to look at her and said, "No need, I knew this day would come."

"Ah?" Li Shu looked at her in surprise.

"When my brother picked you up from the palace for the second time, I realized that you can't do without him. You can't hide the fact that you really like someone. When you look at him, your eyes will shine." Li Lizhi road:
"The second time you became seriously ill was entirely due to a heart attack. My brother picked you up and you got what you wished. When your heart disease recovers, your condition will naturally get better."

"I..." Li Shu was even more ashamed after being guessed.

Li Lizhi said to herself: "At that time, I was very sad. My man was not taken away by other women, but part of it was taken away by my own sister."

"Sister, I'm sorry for you. I will definitely let my mother take back her life and cancel the marriage." Li Shu said guiltily.

Li Lizhi said with a helpless smile: "Don't be silly, the edict has already been issued, how can it be cancelled. Don't worry, I have already figured it out after such a long time."

"Since you can't change it, you have to let yourself accept it. Besides, I can't watch my sister die. So you don't have to worry about anything, just get ready and wait to be a bride."

The words of refusal reached her lips and were swallowed back. How could she be willing to give up when she finally got what she wanted.

The carriage arrived at the imperial city all the way, and everyone came to the Qinzheng Hall, and many people had already gathered outside the hall.They are all Li Shimin's children and grandchildren, as well as the clan who are relatively close.

After meeting Li Shimin in front of the bed first, the eldest grandson Wugou called Li Lizhi aside alone.

"Lizhi, this matter is because father and mother are sorry for you, and mother made amends for you."

Li Lizhi hurriedly said: "Mother, are you trying to ruin your daughter? I know why you are doing this, and I feel sorry for the parents of the world. I am also a mother of three children, so I can understand how you and your father feel."

The eldest grandson Wugou wiped away his tears and said: "You are very happy to think of mother like this, but mother just feels sorry for you. Don't blame Cuilan, he has always disagreed with this matter, and I forced him to marry."

Hearing that Yue Shan disagreed with this matter, Li Lizhi felt a lot better, which meant that his heart was still with her.

"How could I blame my brother? He has given me enough. People like him are not in groups of wives and concubines. He has only me for so many years...I am already very satisfied."

Hearing her say so, Changsun Wugou felt even more guilty. She ruined the good story of wishing to be alone.

But the more this happened, the more she felt that it was right to hand over her daughter to Yue Shan. Where could she find a second such a good man?I feel relieved to hand over my daughter to him.

Especially the youngest daughter is suffering from illness and may die at any time, and only by his side can she get the best care.

It is said that maternal love is great, but few people know that the greatest thing about a mother is the poor child she loved the most.

Well, that's true of most mothers.

The eldest grandson Wugou is no exception, she loves all children, even if she is willing to die for them.But the most distressed must be the frail little daughter Li Shu who died several times.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to cut out a share of the eldest daughter's marriage and distribute it to the younger daughter.

Yue Shan also knew about Li Lizhi and the others entering the palace, so he took time to meet Li Lizhi.

He blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I broke the contract."

Seeing him, Li Lizhi couldn't control the grievance in her heart anymore, she fell into his arms and cried bitterly: "Why, mother knows...why do you want to do this."

Yue Shan could only hug her tightly, and said distressedly: "Cry, cry, cry out all the grievances in my heart. I will find a chance to discuss this matter with the sage empress after I am done with work for a while, and bring this matter back to you." declined."

Li Lizhi just hugged him and wept bitterly. After a while, he gradually stopped, but said in his mouth: "No."

Yue Shan didn't react for a while, and said without answering: "Why don't you want it?"

Li Li said: "Don't make trouble out of the festival, I agree to this marriage."

"Ah You……"

"I know that Shu'er is not in good health, and this is the best way. I just feel uncomfortable, and it will be fine if I cry."

"..."

Anyway, that's how it settled.However, it is definitely impossible for the wedding to be held at this time, at least until Li Shimin's condition stabilizes.

Li Chengqian quickly took over the power of the country with the help of his ministers, and he was not in a hurry to replace his confidants with the old ministers.

It's just that Du He was appointed as a cabinet scholar, and Chen Zhong was appointed as a member of Zhongshushe. No one can fault these two adjustments.

The cabinet is the emperor's secretarial organization, and Li Chengqian had been appointed to lead it before, and now he is not suitable for this position as the supervisor of the country, so there is no reason for him to be his own secretary.

It is most suitable for Du He to take the position, and it does not affect the interests of veteran officials.

The position of Zhongshu Sheren is particularly important. He is in charge of the power of edict, that is, writing imperial edicts for the emperor, and must be in the hands of the emperor.Otherwise, the people below could kill the emperor by playing word games.

The other Xiao Guicao followed everything as before, which is the main reason why the situation was stabilized so quickly.

As long as their interests are not touched, who cares who will be the emperor.

Li Shimin's body gradually improved after Sun Simiao and other imperial physicians added the miraculous effects of Angong Niuhuang Wan.

After five days, I was finally able to speak. Except for a little lisp, there were no major problems.The body can also move slightly, but it cannot walk yet.

After ten days, I can sit up by myself, and after fifteen days, I can walk on the ground.Just as Sun Simiao said, the left half of the body lost the ability to move, that is, hemiplegia.

Faced with this result, everyone thought he would be sad, but he behaved unexpectedly calmly.

Facing everyone's confusion, Li Shimin gave an explanation: "I have already made all the preparations, paralyzed, become a living dead, and died... It is beyond my expectation that half of my body can move now."

Yue Shan said in admiration, "I admire the saint's open-mindedness."

Li Shimin said: "Hehe, you can't just admire me, but also thank me. The two precious daughters are married to you alone, so you have to be named king for this reason."

Yue Shan smiled wryly: "Then I really thank you very much, old man."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Haha...don't put on a bitter face, it makes you seem so wronged."

Yue Shan said: "Yes, yes, you are a patient and I won't make money with you. I am so happy that I can't sleep all the time."

Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others also laughed.

The eldest grandson Wugou glared at him reproachfully, but then laughed too.

Li Shimin suddenly became serious, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "You can move to Daxing Palace tomorrow."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Li Chengqian was very excited, but he refused: "How can this be done? Your condition has improved, and you should be in charge of the state affairs. I..."

"Hehe..." Li Shimin interrupted him and said, "It's fine if you have the heart. If I deal with the government affairs in this physical condition, I'm afraid I'm not far from death."

"I fought everywhere in the first half of my life, and then I was obsessed with state affairs. I haven't been able to spend time with your mother. Now I finally got half of my life back from the hands of God. I want to spend time with her."

"Saint." Changsun Wugou was moved to tears immediately.

"This... please think twice, if you want to rest, I can help you deal with the government affairs." Li Chengqian still declined.

"Okay, the trick of three words and three concessions is for outsiders to see, and there are no outsiders here, so let's continue honestly." Li Shimin said.

"Uh...here, I will definitely not disappoint you." Li Chengqian choked for a moment before he said.

"Also, take all these notebooks back. In the future, you don't have to send anything to me except for Xizheng's notebooks. If you have any problems, you can solve them yourself. If you can't solve them, you can discuss them with the minister." Li Shimin said again.

"Boom. Thank you, dad." Li Chengqian kowtowed earnestly, which shows how grateful and excited he is.

Li Shimin said again: "It's not that I'm in love with the inn and I don't want to pass on the throne to you now. If I just got sick and pass on the throne to you, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary suspicion and it will be bad for your reputation."

"Secondly, the Western Expedition is a big event, and the news of the replacement of the throne may be spread over there. It will not be good if it affects the morale of the army. The day when the Western Expedition wins is the time when you ascend the Great Treasure."

"I... I'm not in a hurry, I'm willing to be your prince for the rest of my life." Li Chengqian said emotionally.

Li Shimin said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The power of the throne is either not given up at all, or all of it is given up without any nostalgia. I am not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and I will not give others the opportunity to spread rumors and hurt our father and son."

"When we arrived at Daxing Palace... Well, the name Daxing Palace has been called for decades. The new emperor's stay will refresh the atmosphere, and you can change it to a new name."

"After you live in, you will take over the government in an all-round way, and you can replace your bottom team with those who should be replaced. If anyone has any objections, let them come to me. I will help you to appease them while I can still move. "

"promise."

Li Shimin's resignation of power so simply and neatly was beyond everyone's expectations, and people had to admire his determination.

After everyone left, Li Shimin took off his disguise to show his unwilling expression.Changsun Wugou understood his mood very well and held his hand tightly to comfort him.

If it wasn't for the conditions, who would be willing to voluntarily give up power?Since ancient times, there has never been an emperor who was alive and took the initiative to give up power to his son. It was only when he died that he let the prince ascend the throne.

Even if doing so will bring about turmoil in the court, even because the new emperor can't stabilize the situation and raise powerful officials, and eventually the country will be destroyed and the family will die.Still no emperor chose to take the initiative to give up his position to his son to allow a smooth handover of power.

He didn't want it either, but he knew he couldn't do it.

His illness no longer allows him to be an emperor, and if he doesn't go to the inn, it will only create opportunities for the villain to separate, which will eventually lead to tragedy.

It's better to simply give way, so that at least you can leave a good reputation.

The most important thing is that he voluntarily abdicated to his son and created a historical precedent, which should be able to make up for the bad reviews brought about by the Xuanwu Gate change, right?
But I have to say that Yue Shan did play a big role in this matter.

From the very beginning, he was instilled with various thoughts, and because of the calamity, Li Shimin was given enough mental time.And there is the book about Emperor Wu of Han...

This book also focuses on the disaster of witchcraft. A father and son who were originally in harmony were seized by people with ulterior motives because of a little bit of suspicion, and finally this tragedy happened.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been more tolerant to the prince, if Liu Ju had trusted his father more...he would not have come to this point.

This passage had a profound impact on Li Shimin. If Li Yuan... maybe the Xuanwumen change would not have happened.

I can't let history repeat itself, anyway, the doom is coming, so let's give up the power that should be given up.Then there is the current situation.

No matter what the reason is, the final result is what everyone is happy to see.

After Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, Wu Chang came over to greet him.

Li Chengqian said: "Clean up, let's move tomorrow."

Wu Chang was taken aback, thinking that the emperor would take power after his illness improved. This was what she was most worried about, and she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

And move, where to move?Could it be that the East Palace is not allowed to live?
Li Chengqian saw that she was stunned and didn't respond, and she showed a frightened and sad expression. After a little thought in his heart, he knew that she was wrong, and said dumbfoundedly: "What are you thinking, let's move to Daxing Palace tomorrow."

"Ah?" Wu Chang finally understood what was going on, and said in surprise, "Really?"
