Chapter 538 Hero's Color
At dawn, the dark clouds are on the top, and the wind and rain are coming. The air was filled with suffocating dampness, and the whole imperial city was shrouded in darkness and dullness.
Changsun Wuji knelt in front of Li Shimin's sickbed, his bloody eyes were full of worry and hesitation. Beside him was the Yinde Concubine who was also sleepless all night. From the moment she entered the door, she had been holding Li Shimin's hand, neither saying much nor crying, and sitting like this. On one side, Princess Gaoyang, who was exhausted with tears, just slept for a while on her mother's thigh. The room was lit with the Changming Palace lamp, and several imperial doctors, eunuchs and palace women accompanied each other all night.
"Your Majesty still hasn't woken up. What should I do?" Changsun Wuji frowned deeply and thought to himself, "The king of Wu was assassinated, and Kansai wanted to rebel; the court was in chaos, and tigers and wolves opened their eyes... Looking at my country in the Tang Dynasty, it was about to be destroyed. Your Majesty, I have followed you for decades, and finally have this ancient and modern Tang Dynasty! Seeing that the hegemony has become peaceful in the world, how can you not wake up? ...What are you going to do?"
Changsun Wuji closed his stinging and sour eyes and sighed inaudiblely.
If there is another person in the world who is worthy of his eldest grandson Wuji's concern, it must be Emperor Li Shimin. For Yu Gong, his eldest grandson Wuji is the first assistant of the dynasty, and he has reached the peak as a minister. Everything he has made in his life is also given by Li Shimin. Li Shimin is not only grateful to him, but also the real master he is willing to be loyal to death.
In private, Changsun Wuji is not only Li Shimin's wife and brother-in-law, but also a confidant and friend in his childhood. It is often said that it is enough to have a confidant in life. What's more, from ancient times to the present, how many kings and ministers can accompany each other for a lifetime without rebelliousness, and never abandon each other?
It was Li Shimin who completed Changsun Wuji, and it was Changsun Wuji who completed Li Shimin.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji would rather lie on the sick ** sleepless person than Li Shimin to let go at this critical moment.
"Tang Dynasty, how can there be no emperor without Changsun Wuji?" Changsun Wuji, who closed his eyes, almost couldn't close the tears in his eyes.
At this time, a hundred-rider pawn came in gently, knelt down beside Changsun Wuji and whispered, "Situ, what's wrong?"
Changsun Wuji got up and walked outdoors.
In the darkness of the dawn, at the end of the hundreds of dragon tail roads of Penglai Hall, two people knelt down.
"Who is it?" Changsun Wuji asked in surprise.
"It's Qin Tong, the general of Youwei, and the Qin Bin brothers, the deputy commander of Baiqi Supervision."
"He...they?" Changsun Wuji was a little stunned for a moment and wiped his hazy and sore eyes. "What are they doing?"
"The two princes knelt here as soon as they came, and my subordinates... dare not ask."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly ran down hundreds of dragon tail roads and came to the two of them, but saw that Qin Tong and Qin Bin went to the official server and tied their backhands and bowed their heads and knelt there.
"Two sons, what does this mean?" Changsun Wuji asked in surprise!
The prince is a noble name. Now the Qin family is a famous family, and the direct son of the Qin family is respected as the prince, which is a great honor. In the Tang Dynasty, only the prime minister or the man of the prince's noble family deserved such a name.
"Situ, I'm here to deal with the crime!" Qin Tong looked up at Changsun Wuji and said with a straight face.
"Why did you say that?" Changsun Wuji was surprised.
"Oh!" Qin Tong sighed, "Chang'an spread that Guanxi Qin Mubai wanted to rebel, but Situ didn't know?"
"Yes, I heard some rumors." Changsun Wuji frowned, "But it's just a rumor! - Two sons, please get up! Untie!"
"Situ, please allow me to speak." Qin Tong did not get up and said, "The last general also knows that this is mostly a rumor. But for such a big event, I would rather believe it than not it! That's right, the two of us are Qin Mubai's brothers. But I am also a minister of the Tang Dynasty! If it's just a rumor, it's okay. It's not important for us to voluntarily accept some injustice and bondage. If he really opposes..., please ask the court to kill the Qin family all over the family. Qin Tong will take the brunt, and he would rather die than be with the rebels!"
"General, you are really loyal and loyal to Bo Yuntian, which makes Changsun Wuji admire you!" Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, bent down and helped Qin Tong and Qin Bin up hard, and personally relaxed for the two of them.
"Situ, no!"
"Why not!" Changsun Wuji shouted, "I don't even believe that Qin Mubai wants to rebel. Do you still believe it?"
Qin Tong and Qin Bin were stunned!
Ask yourself, why did his two brothers believe that Qin Mubai would turn against him, and why did he want the Qin family to be serious? This bad strategy is nothing more than a bitter trick to retreat. If it really waits for the court to take people, it will be passive!
Changsun Wuji personally untied the two, looked at them and said, "Yes, the government and the public know that Changsun Wuji is at peace with Qin Mubai. My son, Changsun Huan, died in the Kansai army. In anyone's opinion, I am at will be at will with him. But now, there are difficulties in the world. How can my eldest grandson Wuji miss the national affairs because of the private abolition of the public? - Heaven can be seen from the back of the earth. In any case, Changsun Wuji does not want the Qianqiu foundation of my Dajiang to be destroyed! No matter who it is, as long as he dares to harm the Tang Dynasty, my eldest grandson Wuji, is really incompetent with him!"
"Situ! ..." Qin Tong and Qin Bin burst into tears and bowed down again.
"Quick, two sons, please get up!" Changsun Wuji helped them up again and comforted them, "The two princes don't have to be too careful. The rumors stop at the wise, and the court has its own public opinion. Now the rumors are spreading fiercely, but if neither of you can calm down, won't it respond to the rumors and make the government and the opposition restless? The more you are in this critical moment, the more you can show your hero! Therefore, the two princes should not be suspicious and at ease. The right guard is in charge of the imperial city, and the escort responsibility of Baiqi is even more important. At this time when the court employs people, the two princes must be loyal to their duty!"
"Thank you!" Qin Tong and Qin Bin were ashamed and thanked them with tears on their faces.
At this moment, Qin Bin whispered, "Your Highness?"
The three looked back and saw that Princess Gaoyang did not know when she was not far behind the three of them.
She looked tired, but she looked cold and said lightly, "I know what you're talking about."
"Princess, listen to my explanation..." Qin Tong hurriedly said.
"Brother, you don't have to say more. I know it." Princess Gaoyang smiled indifferently and said to Changsun Wuji, "Uncle, please listen to me. First of all, I will never believe that Mu Bai will rebel; secondly, if Mu Bai opposes, he will be punished, please start from Gaoyang. As long as one soldier in Kansai dares to step into the Central Plains, he must step over my Li Linger's body!"
After saying that, Princess Gaoyang turned around and walked back step by step on the Longwei Road.
The dark clouds rolled, and a thunder sounded out of thin air, shaking the imperial city.
Heavy rain, pouring down.
Changsun Wuji and three others stood under the dragon tail road in astonishment, looking at the figure of Princess Gaoyang gradually fading away, and fell silent together.
At this time, in the emperor's bedroom. Yin Defei felt a strange movement in her hand and hurriedly fixed her eyes. Li Shimin opened her eyes!
"Your Majesty, you are awake!" Yin Defei whispered in surprise, and tears finally couldn't help flowing down!
Li Shimin half opened his eyes and looked sideways at Yin Defei. It seemed that he could not turn his head. He was weak and weak in his hand and held her hand with little strength.
Yin Defei hurriedly called the imperial doctor to check the pulse. After a while, the doctor was overjoyed, "It's a pity to see, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty has woken up, probably sound!"
"Then why can't Your Majesty move or speak?"
"For the time being, it can gradually recover from a period of rest." The imperial doctor's voice trembled with excitement, "If the wind blows, if it is mild, it will be fatal. But fortunately, when your majesty's strong body is saved, and with the favor of heaven, your majesty should be fine! As long as you don't receive any great stimulation or injury, and rest with the medicine and stone doctor, you will be cured in a hundred days!"
"So, it's really God's blessing, my Buddha's mercy!" Yin Defei knelt down and thanked her.
At this time, Princess Gaoyang and Changsun Wuji also returned to the room. When they saw the emperor wake up, they were very surprised. They knelt down in front of their sickbed and cried with joy.
Li Shimin was half supported and sat on the couch. He opened his mouth with difficulty, couldn't speak, and couldn't lift his hand.
"Get up quickly. You don't have to cry or say more. Your Majesty just woke up. It's inconvenient to move and can't speak, let alone be stimulated." Yin Defei said.
Changsun Wuji and Princess Gaoyang hurriedly got up and stood on one side, secretly waved their sleeves and wiped tears.
At this time, Li Shimin's eyes were open with difficulty, but his eyes were staring at Changsun Wuji. He seemed to have words, but he couldn't speak. Changsun Wuji was considerated. He sat close to Li Shimin and whispered, "Your Majesty has a will?"
Li Shimin blinked his eyes with difficulty.
Yin Defei and Princess Gao Yang looked at each other, retreated silently, and took out the people of the Royal Medical Palace and other miscellaneous things.
There was no one else, and Changsun Wuji asked, "What is Your Majesty's will?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth with difficulty and couldn't speak. Changsun Wuji was very anxious. He looked at Li Shimin staring at his chest and asked, "Heart? Does your majesty have a chestache?
Li Shimin motioned with a winp, 'No!'
"Heart...heartache? Heart-to-heart? - Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the prince?" After all, Changsun Wuji is smart and has a good relationship with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin blinked his eyes with relief, indicating that he had guessed correctly.
"Your Majesty rest assured that I have sent Chu Suiliang to Jingzhou to investigate the case of King Wu. I have to repay you. The king of Wu should have been well, but he was kidnapped! I believe that Chu Suiliang will soon find out the truth and save the King of Wu!" Chu Suiliang went to Jingzhou and hasn't come back yet. Changsun Wuji is also pure fabrication, which is nothing more than to make Li Shimin relieved.
Li Shimin signaled with his eyes, 'I'm not worried about Li Ke'.
"Is your majesty worried, other princes?" Changsun Wuji was surprised.
Li Shimin blinked, 'You're so smart, you guessed right'!
Changsun Wuji was shocked at the moment, "Your Majesty is worried about... King Jin?"
Li Shimin's eyes are wide open!
Changsun Wuji was also shocked and said to himself, "Yes, I'm so confused! If the king of Wu has an accident, isn't the king of Jin equally dangerous?! - The sacrifice day of the former emperor is approaching. Before the rest of the month, the king of Jin was ordered to go to Taiyuan, the northern capital, to worship his ancestors on behalf of the emperor. Counting the time, it's time to return. If the king of Jin also has an accident halfway, it will be really bad!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured that the old minister will immediately send a capable man to lead the army and horse to Beidu to welcome the King of Jin to return to Beijing!" Changsun Wuji clenched Li Shimin's hand and said.
Li Shimin took a long breath and closed his eyes tiredly.
Changsun Wuji was secretly glad, and secretly sad. He thought to himself: It's a pity that although your majesty has a storm, fortunately, he is clear-headed and wise. I'm not an unsick person, and I'm not as considerate as him! - The crime of God's killing, I should have thought of protecting the King of Jin!
At this time, Li Shimin shook Changsun Wuji's hand a little harder. Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you still have a will?"
Li Shimin moved his eyes and stared at the medicine bowl at the head of the bed.
"Oh, your majesty needs medicine? I'm going to call the doctor immediately!" Changsun Wuji said that he wanted to leave.
Li Shimin almost exhausted all his strength to hold Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was surprised and said, "Isn't your majesty going to use medicine?"
Li Shimin stared hard at the medicine bowl again!
"Drug bowl? ...Medicine? ...Pharmaceuist! Li Yaoshi?!" Changsun Wuji was surprised and said, "Your Majesty is going to summon Li Jing, Duke of Wei?"
Li Shimin closed his eyes and breathed for a long breath.
"I actually guessed it right. Your Majesty is going to summon Li Jing!" Changsun Wuji's heart jumped up!
At this time, what is the intention of the emperor summoning Li Jing, who has already retired? ...Is it for Qin Mubai?!
Your Majesty has been in a coma for several days, and he must be unaware of the Kansai rumors from the outside world. But if something happens to the King of Wu, it is easy to remind people of Qin Mubai - is your majesty also worried that Qin Mubai will be rebellious because of this?
It is better to believe in it than to believe in it; in the face of crisis, prevention is not burning!
And when the emperor fell, no one came forward to suppress the battle between the civil and martial arts factions in the court. In fact, in addition to Qin Mubai, there are also many other proud and fierce generals of the marshal of Xinjiang. Who can suppress them?
Only Wei Gong and Li Pharmacist!
The situation is unpredictable. If Qin Mubai is really forced to turn against one day, and His Majesty can't preside over the overall situation, who can suppress Kansai to turn the tide?
Only Wei Gong, Li Yaoshi!
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji suddenly burst into tears. He clenched Li Shimin's hand and sobbed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm going to move to Wei Gong!" ... Your Majesty has the right to recover from illness at ease. Everything is done by Laochen, Fang Xuanling, Wei Gong and others. As long as I wait for the old minister to have a breath, the sky of the Tang Dynasty will not collapse!"
Li Shimin closed his eyes and let go of Changsun Wuji's hand. His long breath seemed to fall into a deep sleep again.
