Just before Tang Taizong personally conquered Goryeo, Li Zhi was sent all the way to Dingzhou.

Until he couldn't give it anymore, in the face of his reluctant beloved son, Tang Taizong pointed to the clothes on his body and said: "Until our father and son meet again, I will never change this clothes." ”

So Tang Taizong's clothes were dirty and worn, and even the minister couldn't stand it and persuaded him to change it, but he refused to agree.

Later, Tang Taizong heard that Li Zhi was on the way to meet him, so he couldn't wait to lead three thousand guards to rush into Linyu Pass, and happened to meet Li Zhi on the way.

When Tang Taizong came back from the expedition to Liao, he was ready to visit Lingzhou, and he planned to take Li Zhi with him, but Zhang Xingcheng said:

"The minister heard that the crown prince was going to accompany His Majesty to Lingzhou, but the minister thought that instead of His Majesty letting the prince accompany him on the tour because of his personal love, it was better to let the prince stay and supervise the country at this time, receive hundreds of officials to discuss the government and decide on public affairs, and be familiar with the affairs of the court, so that it can not only stabilize the capital and town, but also show the prince's holiness to the Quartet."

Tang Taizong thought that what he said was very reasonable, so he crowned him as the Yinqing Guanglu doctor from the third grade.

In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong was seriously ill, and Li Zhi personally took care of his father, and the hair on his sideburns turned white.

Tang Taizong sighed with emotion: "You can't eat and sleep well these days, and you don't leave the decoction and medicine, just to take care of me, you have gray hair on your temples at a young age, and you are more filial than King Wen in ancient times." Even if I die, I don't think I have anything to regret. ”

In May of this year, Tang Taizong died in Hanfeng Hall at the age of fifty-two, and in June, Li Zhi ascended the throne as Emperor Gaozong.

Throughout the first twenty-two years of Li Zhi's life, it can be said that he grew up under the favor of Tang Taizong. Even after being made the crown prince, Tang Taizong still doted on this beloved son, and all kinds of treatment were abnormal, and Li Zhi's ability to handle government affairs could also be said to be hand-in-hand.

Every time Tang Taizong went to court, he let Li Zhi study on the side, and sometimes let him personally participate in political affairs; Considering that Li Zhi grew up in the deep palace since he was a child and did not understand the sufferings of the people, he grasped some details in daily life, and Tang Taizong would also make full use of them to teach, such as telling him when he was eating, only when he did not take away the peasants could he ensure the normal supply of three meals a day.

There was even a time when Tang Taizong was angry and wanted to behead Mu Yu, the western supervisor of the Yuan, Li Zhi stepped forward to offend Yan Jin, but Tang Taizong not only did not get angry, but said very proudly: "The crown prince has been in front of my knees since he was a child, and he often sees me humbly accepting advice, so subtly, he has today's advice." ”

It was also under the careful teaching of Tang Taizong that Li Zhi was able to follow Zhenguan and create the rule of Yonghui with the legacy of Zhenguan.

As a bystander, Li Zhi has already learned about this father-son relationship through cold historical materials, but from these black and white letters, he can't feel more difficult father-son filial piety, and the deep father-son affection is close to his relatives.

But at this moment, I have personally experienced Gaozong's review of this past, and I can feel Tang Taizong's fatherly love for Li Zhi, as well as Tang Gaozong's fatherly love for Li Zhi, who grew up in this boxing father's love.

It was only at this time that Gaozong ended his trace, and instead looked at Li Xian and Li Dan: "Two beloved sons, have you noticed what you missed in the depth of the father-son relationship I told?" ”

As if every time he saw the stunned expressions on the faces of the two brothers, he immediately said, "There are no other thirteen brothers and twenty-one sisters besides me!" Among the thirteen brothers, there is no such thing as the latter, there are those who are given to the dead according to the law, there are those who are abolished as concubines, and there are those who kill themselves. ”

With that, he sighed deeply

In one breath: "And now I am the only one who lives, and I will be evaluated by later generations of history as weak-willed, fascinated by lust, mediocre, derogatory to the old, reprimanded for loyalty, and so on!" ”

Li Xian didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly said urgently: "No, Aya, Your Majesty improved the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so that there was the famous Yonghui Law, and the rule of Yonghui is comparable to Zhenguan's rule of the world; defeated foreign enemies, Pingmo North, Western Turks, Baekje, Goguryeo, and created the largest territory in China's eastern territory; With the sustainable development of social economy, the act of closing positions will be imitated by future generations; "Tang Law and Discussion" has become a representative code of the legal system, affecting the whole world; The imperial examination system was re-established, and the number of people who won the examination and took the examination was unparalleled in the world! ”

Gaozong kept smiling until Li Xian finished speaking in one breath, and then he smiled and said, "What else?" Don't just talk about these glamorous faces, my shortcomings, or even my misdeeds, but tell the truth that I forgive you for your innocence! ”

Seeing that the two brothers were silent for a long time, Gaozong laughed, "Dan'er, you can talk about it, for example...... Abolish Wang Liwu! ”

Sweat stains appeared on Li Dan's head, and his hands and feet were so nervous that he trembled, and Li Zhi answered in time: "The emperor can allow his subordinates to offend the admonition?" ”

Gaozong nodded and looked at him with a smile, Li Zhi got up and lowered his head and said:

"The so-called abolition of Wang Liwu wiped out the eldest grandson Wuji Group, the founding father, the meritorious hero, and the family trinity, which is really compelled to do it! If the emperor is always healthy, he will definitely dominate the power and not fall sideways! The serious problem is in the body, and it is a helpless move for the military queen to interfere in politics, the minister is unreliable, and there is Huo Guang who abolished the emperor; relatives are unreliable, and Yang Jian, who usurped power; The royal family is unreliable, and there is Xiao Yan who changed the dynasty; The brothers are unreliable, and there is Yang Liang who is making trouble; The son is unreliable, and there is Cao Pi who is forcing the palace; Eunuchs are unreliable, there are lessons from the Eastern Han Dynasty! The political affairs were handed over to the Empress Wu, which was actually to fill the huge power vacuum that had occurred since the elimination of the eldest grandson Wuji and other old ministers of the family! ”

Gaozong smiled: "It's still some eulogy, I just want to hear the most inaction!" ”

Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Gaozong: "The tail is hard to fall!" ”

Gaozong was stunned, and immediately laughed: "Okay, you Li Zhengwen, the four-word summary is also appropriate!" ”

He waved his hand to order Li Zhi to sit down, then got up and stepped forward, took the hands of Li Xian and Li Dan brothers in his hands, and said softly:

"It's the pain of my life, but it's not what I want to do! But since her, you must beware of the palace power, the danger of women's suspicion, and sometimes it is greater than the hypocrisy of the emperor, you two must remember it! ”

As an emperor, using the word hypocrisy and yin to describe it, Gaozong's words are obviously due to his short life, and he has no scruples.

However, the more straightforward it is, the more it can make Li Xian and Li Dan brothers realize the deep meaning, of course, Li Zhi doesn't think it's very useful, not many people can clearly realize where they have deviated before making mistakes.

The two brothers helped Gaozong to sit down, Li Zhi had already found an excuse to go out, he had to leave enough time for the father and son, but he didn't dare to go far, just within the sight of the people from the Imperial Hospital in the side house, he casually found a bulge and sat down.

Imperial doctors Huang Yun and Sun Sanlu are the only insiders of the Imperial Hospital, and they came as soon as possible, but no one opened their mouths to inquire, they all knew the hidden secrets, and they also knew that once Gaozong's pain regenerated and his vision disappeared suddenly, it was the emperor's limit.

Now Li Zhi has helped him extend his life for nearly two years, and he also knows that with the improvement of Li Zhi's cultivation, he will have the ability to extend it for a few more months, but he also knows that this move has been sternly rejected by Gaozong.

Therefore, after glancing at Li Zhi, he got the other party's gentle shake, and the two also confirmed in their hearts that the emperor might not be able to survive tonight.

Gaozong's extra life has benefited the entire hospital a lot, for these dynasties, almost every one

For the royal physicians who were in fear and frightened all day, not only did they undoubtedly avoid it without risk this time, but they were also frequently rewarded for it, and their gratitude to Li Zhi was very deep.

Several people sat together silently like this, relatively silent, but before the imperial doctors around them gathered more and more, another eunuch stepped forward to ask Li Zhi to move in.

Li Zhi entered it, and soon appeared again, and whispered to the attendant who had been waiting outside the hall: "Hurry up and ask the future to come here, and report that all relevant people are ready!" ”

There were dozens of attendants, and after a moment of gathering, they quietly turned around and left.

Li Zhi quickly returned to the room, at this time Gaozong was already unable to see, Li Zhi was close behind him, and the true yuan in his body was rolled into Gaozong's body.

He clenched one of Li's hands tightly, but the corners of his mouth were struggling to pull up a smile: "I haven't felt the pain in the past two years, but I feel a little intimate at this time!" ”

Immediately, his other hand pointed to the two brothers who had already been crying with a slight trembling, "Text, promise me that the prince and prince will have a good death!" ”

Li Zhi responded vigorously with the hand he was holding, Empress Wu had already hurried over, Yi Wei was no longer there, his hair was messy, his hairpin was crooked, his face was shrouded in sadness, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Princess Taiping followed, and knelt behind Li Xian and Li Dan on the ground, and the tears of Dou Da fell from her eyes like pearls with broken threads, her expression was distorted, and she was obviously desperately holding back her tears.

In the blink of an eye, the four ladies, the nine concubines, Jieyu, and the talented people fell to their knees, running through the hall and hall, and extending to the courtyard outside the hall.

At this time, Gaozong's eyes seemed to be too heavy to lift, hanging a few heavy drops of beaded water, blinking a few times subconsciously, and falling down slowly.

Li Zhi hurriedly motioned to Empress Wu to grab one of his hands, feeling the tenderness of his hand, Gaozong's voice trembled and confided: "Difficult... It's hard for you, pro... Take care of your body, ...... in the afterlife"

As Li Zhi felt Gaozong's body stiffen instantly, tears burst out of his eyes, and he roared: "Your Majesty, the emperor has died!" ”

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, bringing almost everyone's collapse, and for a while there was a howl.

Princess Taiping still didn't seem to believe it, grabbed her hair tightly with both hands, shouted frantically: "Ah......" and then covered her face and cried bitterly.

Only Empress Wu Fang Buddha has entered a state of numbness, and when she first heard the bad news, she really felt that her heart was constantly stimulated by labor pains, and her face was deformed.

Perhaps because she has experienced too many tragedies and endured too much pain, she has already quietly accepted this fact, and at this moment, she ignored the tears on her face and said loudly: "You can declare the world, my emperor has died and ascended to heaven, and the whole country will mourn for three days!" The departments quickly began to prepare for condolences. ”

In the midst of a cry, Li Zhi greeted Li Xian and Li Dan in a low voice, cooperated with the personnel of the Internal Affairs Department who entered the room, and carried the body of the holy driver in a few steps, and walked forward in a few steps, and came behind Empress Wu, quietly injecting a wisp of true yuan into his body.

Obviously, sensing Li Zhi's help, Empress Wu felt that her spiritual power that was about to collapse instantly recovered.

She looked back at Li Zhi, bowed her head slightly, patted him on the shoulder, turned around, faced the successive ministers, and kept instructing: "After the eunuch Qincha rings the bell in the sixth palace to mourn, he can rush to the state capitals and counties to ring the gong to report the funeral!" ”

Li Zhi's eyes swept to Gaozong who was already lying flat on the dragon couch at this moment, his eyelashes that drooped like a fan shadow were motionless, looking at his eyes, he hoped that Gaozong could raise his eyes again, revealing his awe-inspiring eyes that had been obscure for a long time!
