At the same time, imperial city.

Li Shijie dragged his seriously ill body and came to the prison with the help of thunder. He felt that his time had come and specially came to see Li Tong for the last time.

He is his own son, but he never really knows him.

Soon, Li Shijie came to the prison door. The thunder opened the prison door. They walked in slowly. Li Tong saw Li Shijie and quickly knelt to the ground.

"My son, I have seen my father."

Li Shijie looked at Li Tong as if he saw the shadow of his early years. In fact, strictly speaking, he still liked this son and had backbone.

"Li Tong, you regret giving up the throne and becoming a prisoner."

Li Tong shook his head and said, "father and emperor, my children and ministers don't regret it. No matter who becomes the emperor, it is the world of our Li Dynasty. If the eldest brother is willing to use me, I will try my best to help the eldest brother. If the eldest brother is not willing to use me, I will go back to farming."

Li Shijie said with a smile, "you really look like me. I'm dying. You don't even want to coax me. I know what you hate. I apologize to her about your mother, but I'm an emperor after all. I can't say in front of the whole world that you can understand me."

When Li Tong heard this, he had already burst into tears. His mother was thrown into the cold palace, depressed and died soon, so he would always bear a grudge.

Now Li Shijie personally admits his mistake. Although it is not public, it is very rare for a dying old man.

"The heart knot of father, emperor, son and minister has been solved."

Li Shijie laughed, said three good words in succession, slowly closed his eyes, and a generation of the emperor, the ruler of the Li Dynasty, fell.

Lei Dong stood in place without expression, looked at Li Tong and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is gone, but your problem has just begun. Let's hurry to find your highness. There is still a lot to do next."

......

An hour later, the news of the emperor's death spread all over Kyoto, and all princes and ministers rushed to the palace, but this time, there was no previous riots.

Prince Li Cheng, as the crown prince, naturally became the heir.

He summoned all the officials and said sadly, "the father emperor has been diligent and loving the people all his life. He has developed the Li Dynasty into a prosperous power. The state funeral will be held tomorrow. There will be a national silence and all recreational activities will be stopped. The Ministry of rites and the Emperor's funeral will be arranged by you. Those who should please and those who should come back will come back."

What we fear most is the disobedient local administrators, especially in the current situation, the cities in the south are very likely to rebel, and we must take precautions as soon as possible.

The Minister of rites was listed and said, "emperor, Wei Chen understands what you mean. I'll send an invitation now to let the twelve generals in the southern city come back. However, there is another person. Wei Chen is afraid that maybe he must go by himself."

Li Cheng frowned slightly and said, "you said, but Uncle Li Yuanshang."

If the Minister of rites didn't answer, it was acquiescence.

Li Tong took the initiative to stand up and said, "brother, according to the information from the royal guards, it is said that someone found that uncle Huang had gone to an City in the south. There is now a strict blockade. Shen Feng is also in that generation. My younger brother is willing to go, contact Shen Feng and bring uncle Huang back together. Maybe a bloody storm can be avoided."

Li Cheng looked at Li Tong and felt a little uncomfortable. His throne was granted by Li Tong. Now he volunteered to go to such a dangerous place.

"Thirteen younger brothers, what do you want to bring? Brother Huang will satisfy you."

Li Tong shook his head and pointed to Lei Dong: "I just want commander Lei and Zhuge Liuyun to go with me. There are many people, but it's useless."

Li Tong's request is not too much, but Lei Dong is the commander-in-chief of the royal guards. Even Li Cheng has no right to directly command him. He can only see his own ideas.

"Commander Lei, what do you mean? If you don't want to go, I can arrange others, and I won't force you to go."

Lei Dong smiled and replied, "the former Emperor ordered me to obey the orders of the new emperor before he died. Since you are the new emperor, I will go. Besides, I just want to see Shen Feng. I have something personal to tell him face to face."
