Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Now Youzhou has been hit hard by the Turks, and the people of Li are miserable. They really can't bear to abandon the people of Youzhou City at this time.

So I implore Your Majesty, wait a few more years, after Youzhou City is rebuilt, it will not be too late to make this decision.

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin agreed to the request.

But right now, the old county king is too old and seriously injured, so it is not suitable for him to return to Youzhou immediately.

So we can only let Luo Kexin, Luo Liang and others return first.

On the other hand, what worried Li Shimin extremely was the condition of Empress Changsun.

Ever since watching Li Qiu die tragically on the battlefield, Empress Changsun's condition has become more and more serious.

Every day, I was alone holding the bamboo basket containing all Li Qiu's seasonings and weeping secretly.

No matter how Li Shimin persuaded him, it didn't work.

Even if Li Shimin called Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, the three biological sons of the eldest grandson empress, to accompany his mother, it still didn't help.

On the contrary, the more I saw them living happily beside their parents since childhood, carefree.

Now that she has become the incomparably noble prince and lord of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun feels more sorry for Li Qiu who died tragically on the battlefield.

The more sad he became, the condition actually worsened.

In desperation, Li Shimin had no choice but to ask them all to step back and not bother their queen mother for a short time.

At the entrance of the Lizheng Hall, after the imperial physician showed Empress Zhangsun her condition, she was immediately pulled aside by Li Shimin.

"Doctor, how is the Queen's condition today?"

The imperial physician hurriedly saluted Li Shimin, without him needing to sigh, the sorrowful look on his face had already expressed his state of mind at this time.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your mother's illness is still the same as those earlier illnesses."

"In the later period, it was too sad and tearful, which aggravated the condition a little."

"According to common sense, with the previous decoction and some medicines for calming the soul and calming the nerves, it will be effective."

"But now the empress is so determined to die, she can't get water and rice every day, and she doesn't even drink a sip of soup."

"If this continues, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Li Shimin grabbed his arm anxiously, "Afraid of what?!"

"Say it!"

The imperial doctor was in a cold sweat from fright at this time, but he still said tremblingly: "If the empress continues like this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to last for seven days..."

Hearing his words, Li Shimin suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and his mind was spinning.

From the moment he became an adult, Empress Changsun has been by his side all the time.

I have suffered a lot, and I have experienced too many tribulations.

If it is said that Li Shimin is a hero through the ages and a man of iron clank, Empress Changsun is the gentlest, calmest and warmest safe haven in Li Shimin's heart.

No matter what tribulations, difficulties and worries he encounters, as long as Li Shimin sees his wife, he can always calm down.

If Empress Changsun left him like this, Li Shimin didn't even dare to think, what would his world be like? !

Looking at Li Shimin's expression at this time, the old imperial doctor also felt compassion in his heart.

"Your Majesty, ministers, etc., also hope that the empress can be healthy and healthy."

"But now the empress has a heart disease."

"This heart disease has to be cured by heart medicine!"

Listening to his words, Li Shimin was so anxious that he wanted to throw him into the lake beside him.

Didn't he know that Empress Changsun had a heart disease?

The key is that the heart medicine is gone!

Don't you think I don't want Qiu'er to be resurrected?

That is the first son who made me a father!

It was a poor child who made him feel extremely guilty and pity!

Because Empress Changsun's condition was getting worse day by day, Li Shimin built many temples and ancestral halls for Empress Changsun's condition.

Even with the amnesty of the world.

It's just for God to open his eyes so that his eldest grandson and empress can recover.

Unfortunately, he did everything he could to no avail.

Seeing that Empress Changsun was dying, Li Shimin's emotions almost collapsed and reached the extreme.

At this time, an unjust case recorded in the annals of Tang Dynasty happened.

Around Chang'an City, in a village and county under Jingzhao Mansion, a man named Li Haode talked all kinds of crazy things all day long, and even declared that he wanted to be emperor.

In ancient times, it was a heinous crime to rebel and want to be the emperor.

This matter was very serious, so the local county magistrate arrested Li Haode and sent him to Chang'an City on suspicion of "rebellion".

Zhang Yungu had been introduced before when he was helping Li Qiu.

He is smart, alert, upright, well-read, and has strong abilities.

There are no flaws in the position of Jingzhaofu Yin, and his political achievements are quite rich.

Regarding Li Haode's case, after careful investigation and evidence collection, Zhang Yungu discovered that Li Haode actually suffered from mental illness.

Those so-called "acts of treason" are all insane nonsense.

Therefore, Zhang Yungu finally made a verdict of innocence based on Li Haode's insanity, and then handed over the closing report to Li Shimin face to face.

As for Zhang Yungu, Li Shimin believed it in his heart.

Even in the history of China, there are not many emperors who can know and employ people better than Li Shimin.

but……

Don't be afraid of bad things, but afraid of bad people.

At this juncture, Li Ke's absolute confidant, Censor Quan Wanji finally seized an excellent opportunity to avenge the King of Shu.

Ever since, he came out on the spot, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to play Zhang Yungu, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion!"

Chapter 100 What I Robbed Is the Law Field

Hearing that he was going to play the book, Li Shimin waved his hand in an irritable mood, "Say."

Quan Wanji cupped his hands, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that I want to report that Zhang Yungu, the governor of Beijing Zhaofu, used the public to seek personal gain, bent the law for personal gain, and despised the imperial power."

"The younger brother of Li Haode is a good friend of Zhang Yungu, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion."

"Now Zhang Yungu uses madness as an excuse to excuse Li Haode, but in fact he is using the public to seek personal gain and despise the king's law!"

"I implore Your Majesty, punish him for deceiving the emperor!"

Hearing Quan Wanji's words, Li Shimin was furious immediately.

"Zhang Yungu, Quan Wanji's words are serious?!"

In his heart, he still trusted and appreciated Zhang Yungu very much, otherwise he would not be able to be placed in such an important position as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

However, he never expected that this Zhang Yungu could do such a thing? !

Seeing the emperor questioning himself, Zhang Yungu hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"Then Li Haode is indeed insane, so he speaks nonsense and speaks crazy things."

But before he finished speaking, Quan Wanji, who was on the side with a sharp tongue, pointed at him and asked sharply.

"Zhang Yungu, in front of His Majesty, do you dare to deny that you have no personal relationship with Li Haode's younger brother?!"

"If you dare to say something wrong, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor and implicating the nine clans!"

Under Quan Wanji's repeated pressing questions, Zhang Yungu, who was nervous and frightened, didn't know how to explain to Li Shimin for a while.

I can only shout that I have been wronged again and again, please Your Majesty look into it.

In that era, the authority of the emperor was strict, which was the most important thing for the royal family.

Therefore, Li Shimin, who was in a very bad mood and furious, directly slapped the dragon case, "Come here, take down this daring Zhang Yungu!"

"Headed to Dongcheng District to beheaded for public display! To make an example to others!"

Seeing Zhang Yungu, who was shouting again and again, being escorted out by the guards, a smug grin flashed in Quan Wanji's eyes.

snort!Just because you dare to fight with my Highness?

This is what happens to you!

Today, Quan Wanji was able to succeed because several things came together.

First of all, it was Li Shimin who was irritable and under great pressure because of the condition of Empress Changsun.

Lost the assertiveness and clarity of the past.

The second one, the eldest grandson Wuji who values ​​Zhang Yungu the most and has the most friendship with Zhang Yungu is not here.

Otherwise, if Changsun Wuji was here alone, Quan Wanji would not dare to fart.

In the end, none of the many advocating and wise ministers in the court today, such as Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wen Yanbo, and Chu Suiliang, are present.

Otherwise, such a tragedy would not have happened.

Let's talk about Zhang Yungu's side, while shouting his innocence, he was escorted to the East Market of Chang'an City, where he was waiting to be beheaded for public display at [-]:[-] noon.

Zhang Yungu still holds a lot of weight in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City.

So when they heard the news, many people rushed to the east of the city in disbelief.

Especially in the vegetable market that is about to be executed, the common people are even more excited.

"Master Zhang is a rare good official, honest official!"

"You can't just kill Master Zhang like this!"

"Your Majesty, Long Live Lord, open your eyes, you can't kill a good official like Master Zhang?!"

"That's right, Lord Zhang doesn't know how many practical things he has done for the people around Chang'an City, you can't kill him!"

The official in charge of the beheading today was named Fu Lin, also quietly arranged by Quan Wanji, a confidant of the King of Shu.

At this time, he sneered at Zhang Yungu, who was dressed in white, kneeling in the middle of the execution ground with a sign on his neck, and felt even more proud.

"Hey, Zhang Yungu, Zhang Yungu."

"Didn't you always regard yourself as a third-rank official and look down on us small officials from the sixth rank?"

"But what about today?"

"Aren't you going to die under my orders?"

"Look at the common people you love and care for on weekdays. How can they save you?!"

"You, to have such a day is purely self-inflicted."

"Leave us, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you don't want to curry favor with us, but for the sake of those ordinary people, merchants like Li Qiu will have trouble with our Highness."

"It's good now, let's see if Li Qiu can save you, or can these civilians save you?"

"You! You are dead today!"

As time passed by little by little, it was almost three quarters noon, when Zhang Yungu was about to be beheaded.

The people around the vegetable market burst into tears.

He kept shouting that Mr. Zhang was wronged, you can't kill Mr. Zhang, etc...

But they were stopped by the imperial guards, and they were powerless at all.

While all this was happening, a handsome young man wearing a bamboo hat and dressed as a fisherman walked to the east gate of Chang'an City.

This person is none other than the poor Li Qiu.

After recovering from his injuries, he couldn't wait to rush back to Chang'an from Xinfeng with A Ke.

Here, after all, there are too many people I want to meet.
