Chapter 550

The next day, Qin mubai wrote a new memorial which took several days to write. It was like a book. Then, the special envoy of the governor's office, Kuaima, presented it to Chang'an.

Qin mubai stood by the window of the second floor of the governor's office, watching the four special envoys rush out of Lanzhou City and go to the East. In my heart, I thought: now the world is full of bustle and undercurrent, whether it's smooth or imminent, in fact, it's only between the lines. I hope that my memorial to Chang'an will stop all the troubles in front of me, and let Tang return to peace and enjoy the peace and fruits after the war.

"Although I never thought how great I was, I never thought about being a savior or or a hero. But I don't want to see the fruits of my hard work with my father and all the soldiers destroyed in front of my eyes! " Qin mubai took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, and said to himself, "I came to Datang through thousands of years, deeply in love with this era and country, and with people who love me deeply and love me deeply. I don't want Datang to suffer any loss because of me, and I don't want my relatives and friends to suffer any disaster."

"It's over! It's all over! What I want to do, what I should do. It's all done. When you all think that Qin mubai is going to be arrogant and domineering, I give up everything on my own initiative. " The smile on Qin Mu's white face became more relaxed and indifferent. "Many people may have overlooked one thing - the ultimate goal of war is actually for peace, not as a way of promotion and wealth. Successive wars have made Qin mubai famous and powerful, but this is not what I want. Only those who have been on the battlefield and experienced the slaughter will truly appreciate the fragility and value of life. Once you succeed, all bones will be withered! ——In fact, it is hard to accept the splendor and wealth piled up with blood and life, unless I have lost my conscience. Otherwise, how can we hold on to it

"I've killed too much in recent years. If I have a chance, I'd like to go to the temple of protecting the kingdom in Chang'an imperial city. Please ask Master Qingshan to explain Zen to me The Yin virtuous imperial concubine and Ling son, also don't know how they are now? "

……

The night is already vast. In the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, the palace lamps are always bright and silent.

Yinde's mother and daughter wait on Li Shimin's bed. They all look haggard. Both of them looked at Li Shimin lying on the couch, worried.

"Niang, it's late at night. Go and have a rest!" Princess Gaoyang said in a low voice, "father, here, I'll guard. When it's daybreak, my mother will come back for me to have a rest. "

"Good..." The Yin virtuous imperial concubine lightly sighed a, get up to leave.

Several attendants Gong E and eunuch also changed shifts, adding lamp oil in the room to do some chores, all of them were too light handed to make any noise. After a while, the two imperial doctors came to check Li Shimin's condition, boiled the medicine, put it down, and then they all retreated.

Princess Gaoyang looks at her father, who was once a hero of the world. Now she is so sick and haggard that she feels sad. The left and right palace women are going to wait on Li Shimin to take medicine. When Princess Gaoyang sees that her father is so "tossed" by them, she is upset, so she turns them and the eunuch out of the room and feeds them herself.

With a lot of effort, Princess Gaoyang finally helped Li Shimin to sit up, put a big pillow on his back, and then gave him a spoonful of medicine. Li Shimin is still in a coma and has difficulty swallowing. The potion drips all over her body. Princess Gaoyang secretly scolds herself for being useless. She feels sad again and tears come down.

After feeding the medicine, Princess Gaoyang helps Li Shimin to lie down. She is tired and sleepy. She holds Li Shimin's hand and lies beside him. She falls asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, Princess Gaoyang felt something touching her head. At first, she didn't understand. She said vaguely, "don't touch me, I'm going to sleep..."

"Linger, it's hard for you..." I heard a voice vaguely.

Princess Gaoyang woke up with a tremor. She looked up and opened her eyes. Li Shimin was looking at her with a sick and tired face, and a smile was still hanging on her pale face. A big hand is lifting, it must be he who just touched Princess Gaoyang's head.

"Father, you wake up!" Princess Gaoyang rushed into Li Shimin's arms and wept with joy!

"Yes..." Li Shimin gently stroked Princess Gaoyang's head with a long sigh.

Princess Gaoyang was very happy again: "father, can you speak?"

Li Shimin patted Princess Gaoyang's head gently, with a kind smile on her face.

"Father!..." Princess Gaoyang choked and said, "I'll tell my mother the good news right away."

"No more." Li Shimin gently stroked Princess Gaoyang's face and wiped the tears from her face. He said in a laborious voice, "it's late at night. Your mother's wife is asleep. You've been working hard these days. Let her have a good rest! "

"Well!" Princess Gaoyang nodded heavily, and tears flowed down again.

"Have many things happened in my coma these days?" Li Shimin asked.

Princess Gaoyang wiped her tears and tucked in the quilt for Li Shimin. She said, "father, you just woke up, so don't worry about it. You'll have a good health.""Well, tell me about it." Li Shimin said with a smile, "I love you. They are all people who have gone through the gate of death. What else can I worry about? "

Princess Gaoyang hesitated for a moment. Seeing Li Shimin's resolute attitude, she had to nod helplessly, "OK!"

As a result, Princess Gaoyang told Li Shimin the details of the investigation into Li Ke's assassination, the suicide of Wei Ting, the imperial historian, the disappearance of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and the self incrimination of Qin's brothers.

While saying this, Princess Gaoyang observed Li Shimin's expression. Seeing that his mood was stable and normal, he dared to go on carefully.

After hearing this, Li Shimin's reaction was really calm. He nodded his head gently and said, "although I'm in a coma, I know more or less about these things. Even if I don't know, it's mostly expected. Ling'er, you didn't tell me what's more important, did you? "

Princess Gaoyang bit her lip. "Father, I don't want to say that!"

"You don't want to talk about mubai?"

"Father Do you know all about it? " Princess Gaoyang was surprised.

Li Shimin noncommittal smile, "so many things happened, how can not involve your love Lang?"? Ling'er, you don't want to tell me. Do you have any scruples? "

"Father Gaoyang princess suddenly excited way, "do you believe mubai will rebel?"?! I don't want to say that there's something alarmist about it

"Did I say 'believe' Li Shimin's indifferent smile. "If I can't believe him, I won't give him half of the Tang Dynasty and most of its troops."

"Then you still..." When Princess Gaoyang said that, she felt that her tone was too strong, so she said in a soft voice, "father, how can you let Li Jing transfer the troops in the capital and take strict precautions against Guanxi?"

"Linger. Everything is not as simple as you think Li Shimin gently twisted his brows and said, "I'm sick. The country has no owner. This is an extraordinary period. Even my son has people who dare to assassinate him. Who can guarantee that no one will make trouble in Chang'an at this time? I asked Li Jing to raise some troops in the capital to strengthen defense. This is an emergency strategy. It's for the safety of the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the government and the opposition. It's not about going to Kansai. "

When Princess Gaoyang heard this, the explanation was reasonable. But when she thought of the rumor that Qin mubai in Guanxi wanted to rebel, she couldn't get rid of it.

Seeing her sad face, Li Shimin said with a smile, "ling'er, how have I treated mubai for so many years? People don't know. Don't you understand?"

Princess Gaoyang nodded gently. "My father and Emperor treat mubai as if he were his own son..."

"Yes! I have fantasized more than once. If only mubai were my own son. " Speaking of this, Li Shimin raised his hand and gently knocked on his thigh, sighing, "what a pity! Although a son-in-law is better than half a son. But after all, there is a gap between us, and the gap between us I can believe mubai, but mubai can't believe me! "

"How can my father say that?" Princess Gaoyang frowned a little displeased, "mubai is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and his father, and never has a different heart!"

Li Shimin had a lonely smile. "At that time, I specially sent Chu suiliang to Lanzhou to meet you two. Why are you the only one here, but mubai has no future? and. You just came here alone and didn't bring your daughter. My wife and I just want to see you and your new granddaughter. Isn't that human as a parent? "

Princess Gaoyang knew that she was a little guilty. She bit her lip and thought for a while. She said, "at that time, mubai had led the army on the expedition. Little flute Just born soon, I can't bear to travel. Didn't Huang Er explain it to his father long ago? "

Li Shimin laughs. "Linger, you know what you think. I know my own daughter very well. Why do you have to quibble? "

Princess Gaoyang bit her teeth and knew that she could not be blinded. She simply said, "yes! At that time, I was worried that some people in the court were afraid that mubai's military power would be cut to his disadvantage! I'm worried, too. When I come to Chang'an this time, can I come back to mubai again, so... "

"Linger said 'there are people in the court'. Does that person mean me?" Li Shimin closed his eyes with a bitter smile on his face and said in a soft voice, "I know that mubai has always been brilliant. He must have expected something, so he set out to fight for Qiang first. As for you After your marriage with Fang Yiai. My position in your heart is far less than that of Qin mubai, isn't it? "

Princess Gaoyang was stunned, speechless and silent.

"Ling'er, you and mubai have misunderstood me." Li Shimin opened his eyes, looked at Princess Gaoyang with sad eyes, and said, "I call you back, because I and your mother miss you; second, I really don't want mubai to go to the western regions. There is another reason, which is also the most important. Have you ever thought about it? "

"Wait!" Gaoyang Princess eyes a bright, interrupt Li Shimin's words, said. "Father, why don't you let mubai go to the western regions?"

"He's very tired to beat Tubo, and he's got a lot of credit." Li Shimin did not cover up and said frankly, "it is not necessarily a bad thing to give credit to Su dingfang and Xue Rengui. Linger. It's not that I'm worried about mubai's success, or that he will support his troops and never lose his weight. I am thinking about your future"How, how to say?" Princess Gaoyang was confused for a moment and asked.

Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile. "Think about it, ling'er. Now I'm still alive. How can mubai achieve great success. I don't have to worry. Just like, I've never been afraid to beat down any of the founders. But once I'm back to heaven, no matter which Prince takes over the throne and is famous for his achievements, who can hold him down? Which minister can compare with him No matter which dynasty or generation, there is no good end for the ministers who respect the power alone. It doesn't matter much whether the king is wise or virtuous! "

Princess Gaoyang was stunned and said: "that Now that mubai has pacified the western regions, what should we do? "

Li Shimin waved his hand. "Don't worry, there is always a solution. Haven't I died yet? "

"Father Don't say such words Princess Gaoyang was very uncomfortable.

"In fact, I want you to go back to Chang'an for another purpose, which is also the most important, that is..." Li Shimin twisted his brows, looked at Princess Gaoyang seriously, and said, "I want to ask mubai's clear attitude about Li Chu!"

Princess Gaoyang was shocked again!

"Father Why do you want to ask mubai about such things? "

"How can we not ask?" Li Shimin asked in reply, and then said to himself, "I've been watching the government and the public, and there are few ministers and generals who founded the country with me. They are old and dead. All the people who live are old. Once I die, they will not live many more years. He is a rising star of the younger generation in the military and political circles. Mubai is undoubtedly the most powerful, meritorious and famous. I want him to be my right-hand man to help the new king I have chosen. Therefore, the new monarch must first be recognized by mubai, but it can not be recognized by mubai alone, but also by other important officials. If there is any difference between the two sides, I will have to spend time and effort to reconcile them in my lifetime. Isn't that right? At the same time, this is also the reason why I called mubai back to the court in advance - he can't monopolize too many military achievements alone. In the future, no one will be able to compete with it. I'm thinking about his long-term future! "

"Father!..." When Princess Gaoyang heard all this, she suddenly realized it. She threw herself into Li Shimin's arms and cried bitterly. "It turns out that your heart is so hard. We all misunderstood you!"

"Ah The world says that the king is good, but who knows that it is not easy to be a king? " Li Shimin gently stroked Princess Gaoyang's face and said leisurely, "your heart is like iron. Sometimes you really have to be cold and cold, and you don't recognize your relatives. But I want to be a good emperor as well as a good father. You and mubai, as well as your eldest brother, the third brother, King Wu, the fourth brother, King Wei and the ninth brother, King Jin, don't understand me as a father Good intentions

"Father, I understand now!" Princess Gaoyang sobbed, "father's love is like a mountain! Like a mountain!... "
