A mournful bell rang in the city of Luoyang.
The death knell rings.
In Luoyang Palace, Li Shimin held the hand of Empress Changsun and refused to let go, heartbroken.
The husband and wife of more than 20 years have come to an end like this.
Four-year-old Li Zhi, two-year-old Princess Jinyang's son-in-law, and Princess Xincheng, who is less than a year old, stood in front of the queen's bed.
The queen had a smile on her face, but she was gone forever.
Cheng Qian knelt in front of the queen's bed and burst into tears.
He and Li Chao and the eldest grandson Wuji traveled thousands of miles from Hanjing, day and night, just arrived in Luoyang, only to see the last time, the queen passed away.
"Your Majesty, please mourn," Li Chao comforted.
Li Shimin just held the queen's hand, and he didn't hear Li Chao's words.
Cheng Qian grabbed Li Chao's hand, "Teacher, save your mother, save your mother." ” "Your Highness, the queen has already left, and the condolences are by the way."
"No" Emperors also have sorrows, and they also have sadness.
Li Chao looked at Li Shimin, Cheng Qian, Li Zhi, and his son-in-law around the queen, and his heart was also very blocked.
Empress Changsun is a woman he admires very much, not only a virtuous queen in the world, but also a good wife and mother.
But today's virtuous queen died in her thirties.
If there is a special medicine, Li Chao will definitely help the queen.
It's a pity that the queen's illness came quickly and was even more incurable.
Even Sun Siyan came, and he was just as powerless to rejuvenate.
Li Chao patted Cheng Qian's shoulder, "The deceased is gone, let the queen rest in peace as soon as possible."
Let the palace people take care of the queen's funeral, if your highness is depressed, you can come to me to talk. ” "The deceased is gone" Cheng Qian muttered these four words, extremely bitter.
The eldest grandson Wuji also persuaded the emperor with a heavy heart.
The bells are still ringing one after another.
The eldest grandson Wuji held the princess of Xincheng, Li Chao held the princess of Jinyang, and Chengqian held the king of Jin, and Li Shimin moved his steps in a trance.
The palace people have begun to take care of the queen's funeral, and Li Shimin turned back in three steps.
Hankyung.
The Empress's coffin has been brought back and she will be buried in the royal mountain mausoleum near Hangyeong.
The winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan was a bleak winter.
Just ended the battle of Liao, wiped out Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and the Linyi at the beginning of the year was also destroyed, plus the end of the end of the battle of Tuguhun, the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan 12 years of great achievements.
But at this time, the queen collapsed.
Li Shimin has aged a lot all of a sudden.
At the time of the queen's funeral, he ignored the government.
"Your Majesty."
In the palace, a group of Zaifu entered the palace to face the saint.
Li Shimin wore his hair loose, his beard was not trimmed, and the dragon robe he was wearing was also open.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sit down."
Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse.
Twenty-seven Zaifu, as well as the prince Li Chao and the prince Li Chengqian.
Since the emperor returned to Beijing, he has not taken care of political affairs, not even the prime minister, and even the crown prince has not been able to see the emperor's people.
Today, however, the Emperor has summoned all the Zaifu of the Empire to gather.
"I want to abdicate" Li Shimin said four words word by word, but everyone was shocked. abdication The emperor is only thirty-six "King Zhao, Fang Xiang, now the edict is drafted, I will abdicate on the same day, and the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and I will be the emperor in the future."
The ministers looked at each other.
He voluntarily abdicated as the emperor This makes people think of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the fourth emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, only one year after ascending the throne, he took the initiative to give the throne to his eldest son Yu Wenyan, who called himself Emperor Tianyuan and became the emperor.
At this time, the emperor was only twenty years old, and the new emperor was only six years old.
Emperor Xuan passed the throne to the six-year-old crown prince, and he indulged in wine all day long, and as a result, he died after a year as the emperor.
The seven-year-old Emperor Jing of Zhou only served as emperor for eight years, and finally settled in Yang Jian.

Of course, there is also the Emperor Taishang in this dynasty.
But Li Yuan was forced to pass on the throne to Li Shimin after the Xuanwu Gate, and after being the emperor for a few years, he still initiated the restoration and finally died tragically.
And now, the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, and the emperor is also a great martial artist, but at this time, because of the death of the queen, he wants to take the throne "Your Majesty, no" During the period when the emperor ignored things, the court was basically dominated by Fang Xuanling, and now that the emperor was about to abdicate, Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and oppose it.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Ma Zhou and other Zaifu one after another also advised.
The Tang Dynasty, the emperor with great martial arts, wants to abdicate when the national strength is booming Thirty-six years old, at this age, many princes have not yet become emperors.
Li Shimin seized the throne with a palace change, but he only served as emperor for 12 years.
In the past 12 years, Datang has wiped out the Turks, Linyi, and Tuyuhun, and Datang's annual financial revenue has reached more than 80 million yuan.
Datang has 800,000 soldiers and horses.
Datang is incomparably strong.
Li Shimin, who has only been emperor for 12 years, has reached the height of the merits of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, bringing the Tang Dynasty to a new height.
The prosperity of Zhenguan has come.
At this age of the emperor, he can still be a politician for another twenty or thirty years.
Thirty years, what will the Tang Dynasty look like in thirty years It must be a great prosperous era.
But the emperor actually wanted to abdicate No, none of the prime ministers would agree.
Li Chao was also surprised.
"Your Majesty, the ministers know that Your Majesty and the Queen have a deep relationship, but the deceased has passed away.
Your Majesty, you still have the Tang Dynasty, as well as these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and hundreds of millions of people, the world needs Your Majesty.
Li Chao persuaded.
Li Shimin just said, "The prince is eighteen years old this year, and he is also a father.
The prince has studied government affairs for 12 years, and has also supervised the country several times, and his performance is excellent.
I handed over the Tang Dynasty to the crown prince, and I was very relieved.
And the prince still has you, and I believe that you will assist the prince well. ” "If Your Majesty needs time to adjust, the ministers will also give Your Majesty time, but please don't pick directly.
During this time, the crown prince can temporarily supervise the country until His Majesty has recuperated and returned to the court.
Li Chao said.
Fang Xuanling and others also supported Li Chao's proposal.
When the emperor is tired, he can rest, and the crown prince will temporarily supervise the country, but abdicate, which is absolutely impossible.
When the emperor abdicates, the whole world will be shaken.
The crown prince is in charge of the country, and everyone can still accept it.
"What is the difference between the crown prince's imprisonment and my abdication" Li Shimin shook his head, his eyes red.
"Your Majesty, how long has it been since you slept well," Li Chao asked.
Li Shimin sighed, "How do I sleep, as long as I am idle, my mind is full of Guanyin." ” "Your Majesty, why don't you let the imperial doctor prescribe some soothing medicine for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will put everything down first and sleep well."
Li Chao stepped out of the palace and took a deep breath at the deep winter sun.
Under the persuasion of the Zaifu, the emperor finally agreed to let the crown prince supervise the country, and no longer wanted to abdicate immediately.
When all the zaifu left the palace, they all sighed.
No one expected that the death of the empress would hit the emperor so hard that the emperor was so depressed that he couldn't even make the emperor's resignation, and even wanted to abdicate so seriously.
"Thanks to Wen Yuan's advice today, otherwise things would be in trouble."
Fang Xuanling stood on the steps and said to Li Chao.
"I hope Your Majesty will cheer up in a few days."
"Why did Wen Yuan refuse His Majesty's appointment?"
asked Fang Xuanling.
In the hall, Li Shimin wanted Li Chao to pay homage to the prime minister.
But Li Chao refused.
The emperor has returned to Beijing, and although the crown prince continues to visit the country, Han Jing's stay at the imperial court has officially completed its mission.
Therefore, the titles of Han Jing Stay-behind and Auxiliary Minister have also become a thing of the past.
Li Chao refused to pay homage to the prime minister, and once again became an idler with only one Taishi title.

"At this time, I need you Wenyuan."
Fang Xuanling said a little worriedly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts you the most, and His Majesty also trusts you."
"After seven years in the capital, I really want to go out and go back to Chang'an to see my hometown, and also to my various fiefdoms.
In a few years, my children will also go to the fiefdom to become a feudal domain. ” "Fang Xiang, before leaving Beijing, the fiefdom increased troops and tax reduction proposals, and I still relied on Fang Xiangduo to help."
The two walked side by side.
"What does Wen Yuan think of Tuyuhun, and how should the imperial court deal with it?"
Last year, the prince sent troops to conquer Tuyuhun, and in half a year, the imperial court was like a bamboo in Tuyuhun all the way, with 70,000 Tang troops, plus the assistance of the two armies of Subi and Niu Jinda in the Western Regions, Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was defeated and retreated, and fled all the way to Tubo.
The entire Tuyuhun was captured by the Tang army.
Now what Fang Xuanling asked was how the imperial court would deal with Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun sent envoys in Tubo to ask the imperial court to surrender.
I hope the imperial court can understand.
"There is no need for Tuyuhun to exist, if Tuyuhun exists for a day, then it will threaten the Hexi Corridor for one day, and the territory of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty will not be safe.
I propose that the imperial court set Tuyuhun as Qinghai Road, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and set up prefectures and counties.
For the garrison immigrants, the original Tuyuhun people, whether they are Xianbei people, Dangxiang Qiang people, or Di people, must be compiled into households and registered in the register. ” "What about Murong Fuyun?"
"Let Tubo hand them over, if Tubo doesn't hand over people, then the imperial court can send troops to fight against Tubo."
"Crusade against Tibet" Li Chao nodded, "Now that my Datang is on the cusp, now is a good time to recover the entire Qiangtang Tubo in one fell swoop."
If the imperial court takes this opportunity to occupy Qinghai, Qiang, Tang and Tubo, not only will Hexi and the Western Regions be safe, but the territory of the Tang Dynasty will also be connected and more secure. ” Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.
"The imperial court has been using troops continuously in recent years, and the annual military expenditure is also high, and there are many casualties among soldiers."
"The imperial court can bear the military expenditure, and now the imperial court has a very high income, as for the casualties of the soldiers, it is better to take the initiative to attack than to defend passively.
If we don't fight now, then when the Tibetan people invade and raid the border states in the future, we will have to pay even greater casualties.
Moreover, the army is getting stronger and stronger, and if the horse is released to Nanshan, it will soon become weaker. ” "A war of an appropriate scale can help temper the army and maintain the combat effectiveness of the Tang army."
Li Chaodao.
"Wen Yuan, I really think you should stay in the court, I'm old, you should come to be this Zhongshu order.
The prime minister serves a five-year term, and a position can be held for a maximum of two ten-year terms, isn't it also what you advocated at the beginning. ” Li Chao smiled, "After serving as the prime minister for ten years, you can be reappointed as a servant, the court can't do without you anyway."
It starts with me, and it is the same with or without me. ” t1706231537:
