Garqinling never thought that in such a snowy weather, the Tang army would be able to use a fire plan, and the 80,000 army only escaped 1,000 people back, Zhong Rushuai died in battle, and the losses were extremely heavy, and on the other hand, the Tang army also lost more than 300 people, which was almost going to blow up his lungs, and he wanted to find someone to vent, but the strategy of taking the initiative was that he nodded and agreed, and he naturally couldn't sprinkle his anger on Solang Gazan, so he could only bear it silently and slowly relieve it.

From the time the Tang army entered the territory of Tibet to the present, a total of 160,000 soldiers and horses of Tibet have been annihilated, and there are now less than 200,000 of more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in Tibet, and the worst thing is that the grain in some cities can only last for more than a month at most.

After Fan Lihua's victory, he moved the army south, stationed ten miles south of the city, and camped here, still only besieging but not attacking.

The heavy snow spread from west to east, and it also snowed heavily in Chang'an, Li Shimin's condition became more and more serious, and it was already very difficult to speak, but he still insisted on asking Xu Lian every day: "There is Li Hao's ...... Good news? Xu Lian still shook his head, his eyes were full of sadness.

The New Year is approaching, Li Shimin can no longer speak, the imperial doctor took out the thousand-year-old ginseng, cut off the ginseng slices and put them in Li Shimin's mouth, to extend his life, Xu Lian came to the bedside, Li Shimin asked with his eyes, Xu Lian shook his head to answer, and the disappointment hit again and again finally made Li Shimin unable to hold on.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Shimin suddenly returned to the light, actually able to speak, and ate a bowl of millet porridge, and it was personally fed by Li Zhi, after feeding the millet porridge, Li Zhi wanted to serve Li Shimin to lie down and rest, Li Shimin waved his hand and refused, and asked: "Xu Lian, can there be Li Hao's good news?" ”

Xu Lian shook his head gloomily: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no good news from Li Hao." ”

"Alas......" Li Shimin sighed and hung his head silently.

Seeing him sighing, Li Zhi hurriedly comforted: "Father, don't worry, your health is getting better now, and you will recover soon, I believe that it won't be long before Li Hao's good news will come." ”

"Don't be naïve." Li Shimin smiled miserably, stared at Li Zhi, and said slowly, "Father's body, Father himself knows, today is the day of Father's limit." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head and hurriedly said: "Father, don't say unlucky things, my father must live a long life, no, long live!" ”

"Hehe......" Li Shimin smiled helplessly, "That's just the words of the emperors of the past dynasties who deceived themselves, and what emperor has lived past a hundred years old, and he is not an immortal...... It's good that your mother was buried on this day, and I am also buried today, very good, very good......"

As soon as he heard this, Li Zhi didn't know what to say, his eyes were full of tears, and the princess of Jinyang in the back was already crying, crying very sadly.

Li Shimin saw Princess Jinyang in the rear, and called with a smile: "Mingda, come here, come to my father's side." ”

Li Mingda hurriedly came to Li Shimin's bedside, Li Shimin reluctantly raised his hand and touched Li Mingda's long green hair, full of love, and asked: "Mingda, my father will go, the most reassuring thing is your prince and brother, your prince and brother have a weak temperament, and your father is afraid that he will not be able to govern the huge country, and you are weak and sick for a long time...... You said that if you got married...... How nice it should be. ”

"Father's ......" Li Mingda burst into tears when he heard this, and he couldn't cry anymore.

When Li Zhi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Father, rest assured, the son will definitely take good care of Jinyang's sister." ”

"It's not enough to take care of it." Li Shimin said leisurely, "I must find a good family for her, Li Hao's house, don't think about it, he already has a wife, and my daughter is a golden branch and jade leaf, so it is impossible to be a concubine for him." ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, but Li Mingda suddenly said: "Father, the son doesn't want to marry, the son ......."

Li Zhi glanced at her again and again to stop her, it's time to stop her, you must not say this kind of thing to worry your father, Li Mingda saw Li Zhi's eyes, and hurriedly stopped talking.

Li Shimin sighed helplessly when he heard this: "You still like Li Hao, right?" ”

Li Mingda hung his head and was silent.

Li Shimin was also silent, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed slowly: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Zhi'er, anyway, don't let Mingda be wronged." ”

"The retainers obey!" Li Zhi solemnly bowed his hand.

Li Shimin said again: "Zhi'er, governing the country, you have been studying for a long time, I am not worried, but you have a cowardly character, this is a taboo as an emperor, remember, you will be the highest person in the world in the future, no longer afraid of anyone, what should be killed, killed, punished, punished, must not be soft-hearted, soft-hearted can not be a good emperor." ”

Li Zhi bowed: "The sons and daughters obey the teachings of their father. ”

Li Shimin continued: "As an emperor, when the country and the society are the most important, the emperor can do nothing, but he must be able to use people, why the ruffian Liu Bang can defeat the overlord of Western Chu, it is precisely because he will appoint meritocracy, at present, above the court, there are many rotten trees, good ministers are rare, you need to see their talents, read their mental skills, before they can be entrusted with important tasks, your uncle eldest grandson Wuji has been specializing in power in recent years and cannot extricate himself, you need to be careful, although Li Hao is virtuous, he can be good and loyal, but he must not have the heart of harming people, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, The human heart is the most unpredictable, who knows when it will change, you know what my father meant. ”

Li Zhi listened to Li Shimin's teachings, and nodded silently with tears in his eyes: "Erchen understands, if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you believe partially, you will be dark. ”

"Well, you are actually very smart, and my father believes that you will definitely be able to become a good emperor." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said slowly, "Okay, I'm a little tired, help me lie down and rest." ”

Li Zhi and Li Mingda hurriedly helped Li Shimin lie down together, and covered the quilt, Li Shimin said: "You all retreat." ”

"Yes! Sons and daughters retire! Li Shimin's children all retreated, but Li Zhi and Li Mingda stood in the corridor outside the door and guarded, letting the snowflakes fall overhead, and immediately someone from the palace came to hold up Chinese umbrellas for them to shield them from the wind and snow.

Li Shimin lay down, and never woke up, in the evening, all the civil and military officials received a rumor from the palace, the emperor died, and the ministers gathered in the Taiji Palace, kneeling and crying outside the Ganlu Palace.

The mighty Heavenly Khan was so calmly controlling the dragon and burying the sky, until the last moment of his life, he was still waiting for Li Hao's good news, but he never waited, the last regret of his life was still not solved after all, Li Zhi and Li Mingda had already cried into tears.

Early the next morning, the first day of the Lunar New Year, this is a big day for the people, but today is also a big day for the palace, because today is a big day for Li Zhi to ascend the throne.

For the ancient emperors, there is no ceremony more solemn than the enthronement ceremony, each enthronement ceremony is organized by the Ministry of Rites, the process rules are extremely complicated, until the afternoon, the ministers and Li Zhi gathered in the Taiji Hall to start the first court meeting after Li Zhi ascended the throne.

According to the past practice, the first great court meeting after the new emperor ascended the throne, except for military affairs and disasters, did not discuss other state affairs, because the most important thing at the moment is to discuss the funeral process of the deceased emperor, although it is only a formality, but this scene is very important, which is the respect for the former emperor and the respect for the imperial power.

However, today, there was an accident, Li Zhi sat on the throne, and just wanted to ask Yu Zhining, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how to arrange the funeral process of his father.

And Chu Suiliang suddenly came out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants something important to play!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he saw this, but since Chu Suiliang said that there was something important to play, how could he not allow it, so he spread his hands and said, "What does Chu Qing have to play?" ”

Chu Suiliang said loudly: "The minister wants to impeach Li Hao, the general of the Tiance Mansion, Li Hao is leading the army outside, but he supports the army and respects himself, does not think about breaking the enemy, is good at military power, and has ill intentions, the minister asks His Majesty to seize the military power of Li Hao and Fan Lihua, and escort Li Hao back to Chang'an to ask for the crime!" ”

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, he was very unhappy, they had played this matter before, but they were refuted by Li Shimin and returned, but they didn't expect it to be played again now, what do you mean? Seeing that he is the new emperor, is it easy to bully?

Li Zhi naturally couldn't scold like Li Shimin, after all, he had just ascended the throne and had not established the emperor's authority, so he frowned and said: "Chu Qing is too worried, Li Hao is loyal to the country, how can he do anything wrong, and now Li Hao's attack on Tubo is a critical moment, we must not do this." ”

As soon as the words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly strode out of the ranks, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty! That's a mistake! Since ancient times, the alternation of the old and new imperial power is a time of turmoil in a country, most of the rebellions are launched at this moment, because it is easy to succeed, Li Hao led the troops outside, did not think about breaking the enemy, many deeds are really suspicious, the minister thought that the matter of breaking through Tubo is small, and the stability of the country is a big matter, which is more important, and His Majesty should weigh it in his heart. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a while when he heard this, and he couldn't find a word to deal with it, Li Ji was very annoyed when he heard it, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the words of Chu Suiliang and Zhao Guogong are simply ridiculous, and the minister opposes what the two of them asked!" ”

"The minister seconded the words of the British public!" Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, seconded the proposal.

"The minister also seconded the words of the British public!" Lu Guogong Cheng bit the gold and seconded the proposal.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Dali Temple Qing Di Ren outstanding column seconded.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The Chinese book ordered Ma Zhou to list and second.
