As soon as the voice fell, Empress Changsun’s eyes closed slightly and could no longer be opened. The only remaining consciousness was the appearance of Li Shimin, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and was full of traces of years. At that moment, she was psychologically satisfied, smiling, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Queen! Queen!"
Li Shimin felt the unforgettable pain in his body. The man had tears and did not flick it lightly, but he did not reach the point of sadness. As the king of a country, Li Shimin shed tears at the moment of the death of Empress Changsun, trembling and panicked calling for Empress Changsun to wake up and see Look at yourself, but people die like a lamp and can no longer open their eyes, leaving the world forever.
"Queen Bintian! Empress Wende, posthumous name, was buried in Zhaoling." It took only half an hour for the desperate Li Shimin to accept the death of the eldest grandson, wiped away his tears, and announced with difficulty, and then Wu Gonggong and others immediately conveyed it. Go down and tell the world.
At the same time, the decorations inside and outside the palace were all replaced with white strips, and everyone wore plain clothes to show their condolences.
The death of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty required a lot of red tape, and everyone in the world mourned. Therefore, Li Shimin personally wrote the inscription on the empress of the grandson because of his sadness and excessive abandonment of the court for three days. Many princes suddenly heard the bad news and were shocked. Jin Wang Li Zhi even fainted. When Li Shimin saw this, he was moved and missed the eldest grandson.
Li Shimin abandoned the government for three days without leaving the house or seeing any ministers in the court. He stayed quietly alone. He often missed the appearance of the eldest grandson, and his longings increased day by day, so that Li Shimin's body was also rapidly declining at this moment.
The body of Empress Changsun was temporarily placed in the ancestral temple and was guarded by someone. Although Empress Changsun was unwilling to do what he was going to do, Li Shimin did not comply and held the state funeral. The whole procedure was completed after half a month. After that, he ordered Qin Tianjian to be buried in November. The Zhaoling Mausoleum and the burial objects were visited by Li Shimin himself and then organized by the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple.
The country cannot be ruleless for a day!
Moreover, the war in Liaodong continues, and the government cannot be abandoned for a long time. Li Shimin endured the grief of the death of his beloved wife and once again presided over the overall situation. Li Shimin was so dispirited because of his sadness that he was so weak that he could not speak, but he made noises when he faced Li Kuan's disposal.
"It is rumored that the king of Chu Chu did not obey his orders and acted arbitrarily. Therefore, all his official posts were cut off, and all his royal salaries and rewards were withdrawn. In addition, he kept himself behind closed doors, and was not allowed to go out without an edict. If there is a personal relationship, press the button. Sentenced for disobeying the edict and executed immediately."
Li Shimin blamed Li Kuan for the death of the eldest grandson. Now Li Kuan is like being beaten into a cold palace. No one dared to speak out to persuade him. Once he lost his eldest grandson, Li Shimin has lost his reason, and he has done things completely based on his preferences. Don't show mercy; secondly, don't want to get involved in the struggle between the two.
Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Yang Shidao and others secretly delighted. They finally waited for this day. With the order of Li Kuan being banned, it means that Li Kuan will also be withdrawn from the court, without any support. Even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others chose to be silent.
In fact, Li Kuan immediately sent a letter to the ministers who supported him after returning from the Lizheng Hall, and ordered them not to participate in this matter, even if they were severely punished by the emperor. Although everyone did not understand, they still obeyed Li Kuan's meaning and did.
Li Kuan, Li Xi, and Li Tun were also among them during the state funeral of Queen Changsun. When Li Shimin's eyes were swept over Li Kuan, he knew what the other party would do, so that he could not change in response to changes. Li Kuan was prepared for it. The people who ordered the palace of Chu to stay on their own for the time being.
Until the burial of Empress Changsun's body, another edict was sent to Da'an Palace. The edict said: "Immediately order King Chu to enter the palace to see me!"
After receiving the edict, Li Kuan entered the palace without rushing into the palace, Wu Jue and others were worried, while Li Kuan was calm and unhurried. Regardless of Li Shimin's moves, Li Kuan was able to follow, and soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth. It would be known if the mule came out with a horse.
"I have seen your Majesty!" Li Kuan bowed and saluted, Li Shimin looked directly at Li Kuan with cold eyes, and shouted: "I order you to cure the stubborn blue bird's disease immediately!"
Li Kuan laughed dumbly and asked, "Why?"
He thought that Li Shimin summoned himself to punish him severely, but he did not expect that he wanted to cure Li Tai's stubborn illness. In addition, Li Shimin has re-appointed Li Tai as the prince, but he has changed the title to Pu Wang. It can be seen that Li Shimin’s most beloved son is still Li Tai. As for his son, there is nothing more to do.
"Why?" Li Shimin sneered, slapped the table abruptly, and said angrily: "Just because I am today, don't you want to violate my fate? Don't think that my tolerance for you before can make you To act recklessly, you are not qualified at all today, but you are a concubine who want to become a prince."
"Sister?" Li Kuan held up his chest, grinned sneer, Li Shimin ignored his derogatory words in and out of his words, Li Kuan no longer covered up his aura, the atmosphere instantly became cold, squinting at Li Shimin. Sneered and said: "Since I am a concubine, then you go to your concubine, why come to me?"
"Rebellious son! Really rebellious son!" Li Shimin was full of firepower, furious, and sternly cursed: "You shouldn't have been born if you knew this way. What you learned from the Emperor Gaozu is that you are disrespectful to your father and disrespectful to the emperor?"
"I don’t need you to comment on what the emperor grandfather taught me!" Li Kuan said dismissively. You are not qualified to say this in front of me. You forgot what happened in Wu De's nine years, but I still remember clearly. At that time, you stood in my position, and the emperor's grandfather was also forced to retreat by you? So we are half a catty. Don’t think it’s my father and say five or six. I’m willing to let me say, you don’t have the right to make irresponsible remarks.”
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Li Shimin stared at Li Kuan with crimson eyes, and his words had already revealed a cold killing intent.
"You dare even your own brother, so why don't you dare to kill my concubine?" Li Kuan faintly replied, "I just imitated what you did back then, but we are still different! At least I didn't kill me. The glorious deeds of brother killing, don’t think that I am really rare in the middle official position, even if I don’t have any title, I still live a good life."
"You really think I want the position of prince, even if it is sent to me, I don't want it. The reason why you changed your original intention, don't you really know?" Li Kuan looked straight at Li Shimin without fear, and said categorically "I know nothing in my heart. If you admit that I am your son, then why should I admit that you are my father?"
