The Human Emperor - zChapter 30
In the golden autumn and October, the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrant, and the shadows of golden laurel can be seen everywhere in the palace. You can smell the refreshing scent of sweet-scented osmanthus from a distance. Take a deep breath, and the fragrance enters the lungs, which is unforgettable for a long time.
At this moment, the night is cold and quiet in the Tai Chi Hall.
“Your Majesty, just took the medicine, so let’s take a rest.”
Li Gonggong looked worried, and helped Tang Emperor support his eager body, and said.
“No, there are still a few books that don’t…, cough cough…, correct.”
Emperor Tang coughed while receiving the great cloak handed over by Grandpa Li. Although it was not winter, Emperor Tang had already put on a great cloak, enough to see the weakness of Tang Emperor’s body.
Grandpa Li did not speak, but his expression revealed his worries at the moment.
In addition to the daily political discussions, Emperor Tang had to criticize memorials in the Tai Chi Hall. Before repelling Ustizang, there were no more or less things, but after repelling Ustizang, especially after repelling the Turks, countless memorials were similar. Snow flakes came to the Tai Chi Hall.
Why is it acceptable to be a magistrate in the border area?
What kind of spoils (pigs, cattle, sheep, horses) are handled.
There were even memorials to the Emperor Tang that the border was beautiful and full of exotic customs, especially after reading a large section of eloquent text, the Emperor Tang had to reply “with peace of mind”.
It’s terrible!
“Ahem!”
At this moment, Tang Huang frowned and suddenly coughed deeply.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
Li Gonggong looked anxious, and quickly handed over a glass of warm water while gently helping Emperor Tang to get along.
Generally speaking, Emperor Tang could quickly relieve his cough by drinking warm water, but now, Emperor Tang coughed more violently, as if he could not stop at all.
Suddenly, Grandpa Li’s eyelids twitched, and when he noticed something, his pupils shrank sharply.
I saw the gold thread embroidered on the bedding full of dragon patterns, a ray of red, like a needle, pierced Father Li.
“Come on, come on, come on!”
In an instant, Grandpa Li’s voice resounded throughout the Tai Chi Hall.
And it didn’t take long for this incident to make a huge wave in the palace as if a huge rock entered the sea.
For a while, the people in the palace were panicked.
Although the palace seems to be peaceful and the princes of the palaces are harmonious and friendly, everyone knows that the more harmonious, the more turbulent the undercurrent.
…
“Da da da!”
Hearing that Emperor Tang fell ill, with a rush of footsteps, a thin and tall figure quickly stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.
“His Royal Highness.”
Li Taiyi just waved his hand at random, motioned to the court lady **** who asked for an Ann to get up, and hurried to the bed where Emperor Tang was.
In front of him, Emperor Tang was sitting on the bed, as if he had just taken a bowl of liquid medicine, and Gong Li just and respectfully took the medicine bowl from Emperor Tang.
“It’s rare to see you together on weekdays, but today is a good day, and we are all together.”
Seeing Li Taiyi’s figure, Emperor Tang seemed to be talking to himself, and said something confusing.
Li Taiyi was originally puzzled, but the next moment, his eyes flashed, when he saw the other people in front of Emperor Tang’s bed, Li Taiyi suddenly understood what Emperor Tang meant.
In the Taiji Hall, Li Taiyi’s mother-in-law Dou De was sitting beside the Emperor Tang’s bed worriedly. Behind her, several concubines were also worried. And most importantly, in front of Emperor Tang’s bed, there were several familiar figures——
The first prince Li Xuantu, the second prince Li Chengyi, and the fourth prince Li Longfan all stand here.
For a moment, the air seemed to stagnate.
More importantly, not only Li Taiyi, but almost everyone understood that Tang Huang’s words were satirizing the daily rivalry of everyone present, but now he came to see him because of his illness.
In an instant, the atmosphere became a little weird.
“Your Majesty, the princes are already adults, and you still have to help your Majesty with chores on weekdays. If you have time to get together, doesn’t it mean that they didn’t take the things your Majesty confessed seriously and were lazy?”
When the atmosphere was at its most silent, a gentle and virtuous voice suddenly rang.
Following the reputation, it is Li Taiyi’s mother-in-law Dou De.
Empress Dou De was very much loved by the emperor of Tang, and the empress died a few years ago. It can be said that Empress Dou De is now the highest-ranking person among the concubines in the harem.
Moreover, this is not a “family and country event”.
With Empress Dou De’s relaxation, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall suddenly eased a lot.
“Really? You are also interested.”
Tang Huang didn’t struggle with this issue, patted Empress Dou De’s plain catkins lightly, and said.
Although they didn’t say it clearly, all the princes understood what Tang Huang meant.
It stands to reason that this sentence was clearly addressed to the princes, but the Emperor Tang didn’t even look at the princes, not even Yu Guang, but instead said to Mother Dou De.
Obviously it is alluding that I understand your careful thinking, but I don’t say it, and you sons are no better than the t-shirts around me.
“As long as the father is in good health, the children and ministers will be happy no matter how hard they are.”
But at this moment, Li Xuantu took the lead to say respectfully, but his eyes cast a glance at Li Taiyi.
Empress Dou De is Li Taiyi’s mother concubine. The Tang emperor usually dotes on Li Taiyi because Empress Dou De. A few words from Empress Dou De can ease the atmosphere, which is enough to see its weight.
“Well, it’s fine if you have the heart.”
Emperor Tang looked at Li Xuantu, nodded and said with satisfaction in his eyes.
For the prince, he has always been quite satisfied.
Only Li Taiyi frowned, faintly feeling something was wrong.
When Emperor Tang was old, it was common to occasionally feel the wind and cold, so when Li Taiyi was summoned by the Emperor Tang to criticize memorials, he often smelled a scent of medicine. During the spring rain banquet, Emperor Tang was also fainted by drinking alcohol and water. Have a cough.
But no matter how you cough, you don’t even vomit blood, and according to Li Taiyi’s memory, although Emperor Tang was negligent in cultivation, he still has at least five or six years of life, which is not serious enough.
Li Taiyi always feels that this matter is not that simple.
“Father, you also practice on weekdays, and your body is strong, why are you suddenly…”
Li Taiyi thought about it for a long time before finally speaking.
But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Empress Dou De when she heard “cough cough”.
Li Taiyi looked over, but saw Empress Dou De cautiously shook her head towards Li Taiyi, her eyes clearly berating Li Taiyi shouldn’t mention this topic at will.
“It doesn’t matter, the imperial doctor said it was a dark illness in the early years, and it should be resolved.”
Emperor Tang patted Empress Dou De, and after indicating that he didn’t care, he spoke to Li Taiyi.
“It’s the child who is suspicious.”
Li Taiyi bowed and said without saying more.
And soon, after everyone’s greetings were over, except Empress Dou De who stayed to take care of Emperor Tang, everyone left soon.
Outside the Taiji Hall, Li Taiyi looked at the back of the eldest prince Li Xuantu and the others disappearing, and his heart became very serious.
The true dragon is dying, everybody must fight!
Li Taiyi always feels that someone is secretly working to aggravate his father’s condition, in order to intensify the contradictions between the princes.
If it’s as he thought, then the other party’s courage is too great!
Thinking of this, Li Taiyi’s eyes flashed an astonishing cold light.
“Gorius, contact Grandpa Li for me. Besides, try to get the medicine that the emperor usually swallows.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
…
The moon is scarce, the night is deep, and the darkness is silent.
East Palace, where the Prince lived.
Heavy Jinwuwei, as well as countless masters overlapped, guarded the entire East Palace, completely turning it into a fortified barrier.
On the roof of the East Palace, no one noticed that a middle-aged man in a purple robe sat cross-legged, observing the world.
Li Xuantu has been crowned as a prince for seven or eight years. There are many capable people and strangers under his name. This purple-robed scholar is one of them. The people in the rivers and lakes are called Ziji Zhenren, and he has a Taishan Beidou in the field of congenital mathematics. The status is highly respected.
The eldest prince Li Xuantu also took great efforts to invite him, and he was extremely respected.
The calculation of the real Ziji is extremely accurate. In fact, in the past, whether it was court battles or the Northern Turkic conquest, the real Ziji played an extremely critical role in the East Palace.
It’s a matter of his own for the Xiangshi to receive the stars at night.
Daily observations like this have long become a breathing thing for Real Ziji.
“Ok?”
Suddenly, as if feeling something, the real Ziji’s eyebrows jumped, he raised his head steeply and looked into the vast night sky.
In the dark night sky, nothing could be seen in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Real Ziji, it was completely different.
It’s just a short time, I saw in the night, one after another like the beginning of the chaos, surrounded in a circle, one by one appeared, exuding a purple halo, misty, like a patch A purple nebula emerged.
And when you look closely, in the center of the five “purple” stars, a more dazzling purple star is shining, which seems to give people a feeling that the light of the five “purple” stars is due to the purple star in the middle. And exudes it.
The middle-aged man counted carefully, except for the dazzling purple stars in the middle, no more, no less, there are five stars around, each occupying one side, and with the purple clouds around the body, it really looks like a big flower in full bloom. Purple flowers.
“Five-star protection, Ziwei reappears!”
The real Ziji was shocked, and there was a look of extreme shock in his eyes.
Almost subconsciously, he shifted his gaze to the right and looked at the other two stars in the sky emitting purple light.
The larger purple star, with a slightly darker light, represents the now seriously ill Emperor Tang, while the other slightly smaller but brighter purple star represents Li Xuan, who has long been crowned prince.
Tang Huang is still there, and there is a prince who is defending the country, why suddenly Ziwei appears?
And that dazzling purple star is obviously not alone with the prince Li Xuantu, could it be—
“The astronomical phenomena have changed, the astronomical phenomena have changed…, you must report to the prince as soon as possible!~”
The real Ziji, with a pale face, hurriedly swept down from the house and headed towards the elder prince’s palace.
…
At the same time, in the imperial palace, where the Qintian Supervisor was located, a white-haired old man in an official uniform looked at the sky in the night sky in shock and muttered that even the ink pen in his hand fell and was dyed black. I don’t even know if I use rice paper.
…
The sun rises in the east. When the civilians are still in peace, no one knows that with the changes in the sky, the entire Datang will also change and enter the eventful autumn.
In three days, relying on the performance of Longxi before, coupled with the victory of the Yinshan Mountains in the north, and the performance on weekdays, the three princes who turned back the prodigal son finally won the true trust of the Emperor Tang.
——The Emperor Tang officially decreed to allow the three princes to enter the court to participate in politics!
