Chapter 714 Reassure Empress Changsun
Li Min signaled the eunuchs and maids around him to step back, and then gently sat down next to Li Shimin. It was already late spring and early summer, and the temperature had begun to rise, but Li Shimin was still covered with a thick quilt. When Li Min
When he wanted to put Li Shimin's exposed hand under the quilt, he found that the other person's palm was cold, and the skin on the back of his hand was not only loose, but also had dazzling age spots.
And not only on the back of his hands, but also on Li Shimin's thin cheeks, there are also old age classes the size of rice grains. Coupled with the deep wrinkles on his forehead and gray hair, Li Shimin looks extremely old, almost as if he is over seventy years old.
The average old man.
Li Min rubbed the back of his father's hand and closed his hands. When Li Shimin's palm began to become warm, he put it back on the quilt, and then carefully tucked it in. A man only becomes a father after he becomes a father.
Only in this way can he feel the greatness of father's love. Although Li Min's soul comes from later generations, in his heart, he already regards Li Shimin as his father.
Sometimes Li Min will think of his parents in another time and space. As time goes by, the people and things in that time and space slowly become blurred, but the image of his parents becomes more and more distinct, and gradually becomes more and more similar to the current one.
The parents in time and space overlapped. In Li Min's heart, Li Shimin carried the image of his father in two lives. It was precisely because of this that he felt particularly uncomfortable when he saw Li Shimin lying unconscious in bed.
Li Min remembered the last time he said goodbye to Li Shimin. It was not long after Chou Chou was born. He was eager to go to Taiwan to open up a land that truly belonged to him. However, after that farewell, the father and son never met again. At most
Just through correspondence, Chou Chou is now a sixteen-year-old girl, and Li Shimin has also changed from the energetic man in his prime to the look of a waning old man now.
Thinking of everything he has experienced over the years, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Who would have thought that this little butterfly that traveled through time would actually change the entire history. Now the Tang Dynasty dominates East Asia and Central Asia;
Covering the entire Pacific Ocean and the United States
In the continental region, two brothers, Li Zhen and Li Yun, occupied Tianzhu and were eyeing Africa and China. Li Ke, who was the last to start, has also established a foothold in the Mediterranean and has the potential to annex Rome. I believe that in a few years,
A new European overlord will emerge.
The entire earth has been divided by Li Min and his son. The Central Plains people's horizons have also been opened. They know how big the world is, and they have begun to measure the size of the world with their own feet. Except for Antarctica, which is not suitable for human survival.
, the other six continents are already covered with the footprints of the Central Plains people. No matter how the future era develops, the Central Plains people will not only set their sights on a corner of East Asia, they will strive for a broader living space for themselves.
"Father, our Central Plains people's development to the present level is inseparable from your support for my sons and ministers. I believe that after thousands of years, your name will be respected by countless descendants of Yan and Huang!" Li
He finally said softly.
To be able to reach this point, although Li Min has made great efforts, it is also inseparable from Li Shimin's support. It is even because of Li Shimin's support that Li Min can take the first step and then lead Li Zhen.
Li Yun and Li Ke, with their own efforts and the support of the Tang Dynasty, slowly spread the power of the Central Plains people throughout the world.
Next, Li Min sat next to Li Shimin and muttered a lot to himself. Among them were the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty and Qi Dynasty, and some of his own family affairs. Anyway, Li Min talked about whatever came to his mind, although Li Shimin was still in a state of confusion.
In coma, but
According to Sun Simiao, Li Shimin still reacts to external stimuli. As Li Min is his favorite son and has not been seen for more than ten years, if he can chat with Li Shimin more, it may help him regain his consciousness faster.
.
But unfortunately, Li Min had been chatting with Li Shimin for most of the day, but he still didn't show any sign of waking up. However, this was normal. Li Min had already learned from Sun Simiao that Li Shimin sometimes stayed for two or three days in a row.
He may not be able to wake up even once, and even if he wakes up, he will still be in a state of confusion most of the time, and even Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang will not recognize them.
Li Min came all the way and was already very tired. Concubine Yang felt sorry for her husband and even more for her son, so in the afternoon, she asked Wen Xin to take Li Qi, Li Mian and other children to meet Li Shimin.
, and called Li Min out by the way, and then personally cooked a few of his favorite dishes.
Li Min also knew that it would not take him a while to wake up Li Shimin, so he also appeared very calm. He even chatted with Concubine Yang during the meal, and after the meal, he asked Wen Xin and other women to take care of the children.
Stay with Concubine Yang in the palace for a while. After all, since Li Shimin fell into coma,
, Empress Changsun was not in good health, so Concubine Yang had to worry about all matters in the palace. When they first met, Li Min noticed that Concubine Yang looked a little bad, so she asked Wen Xin and the others to stay with her for a while, especially
Having a few children around can also help Concubine Yang relax.
Concubine Yang also knew that Li Min still had a lot of things to deal with, so she didn't keep him. She just told him not to take everything on her, and that everything would be handled by Changsun Wuji and the ministers. After hearing this, Li Min also agreed.
After nodding and bidding farewell to Concubine Yang, he immediately asked someone to take him to the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun was.
Queen Changsun was also very weak. After bracing herself to welcome Li Min today, she went back to the palace to rest for a while, but soon sat up again and asked someone to prepare tea, because she knew that Li Min would definitely come to see her.
hers.
"See you, Queen Mother!" Li Min did not express surprise that Queen Changsun was waiting for him, but bowed as usual.
"You don't need to be polite, Liu Lang. I've worked hard on this journey for you!" Empress Changsun's complexion was still very bad, and her whole body was very thin, but her eyes still showed the majestic magnificence of a mother who cared about the world.
After hearing this, Li Min hurriedly said a few polite words, and then paid attention to the other party's body, and then remained silent and waited for the other party to get to the point. For Empress Changsun, Li Min neither liked nor disliked her. When she was in Chang'an before,
Li Min's limelight overshadowed other emperors
This made Empress Changsun feel threatened, so she was not very close to Li Min. However, later Li Min strongly supported Li Zhi, which made Changsun suspicious. In fact, she agreed to Li Zhi marrying Cai'er, which was not a bad idea.
He had no intention of showing kindness to Li Min.
I saw Empress Changsun taking the medicine bowl sent by the maid next to her and drinking it in one gulp. She gave birth to too many children when she was young, which greatly weakened her vitality. If Li Min hadn't found Sun Simiao last time, I'm afraid she would have died long ago. But despite Sun Simiao
For such a powerful player, as Empress Changsun grew older, her body began to become weaker and weaker. Sometimes a small cold could keep her from getting out of bed for months.
"Liu Lang, your father is seriously ill, and looking at the current situation, even if he can wake up, he may not be able to handle government affairs. What do you think about this?" Empress Changsun rinsed her mouth with water, and then reluctantly showed a smile
asked with a smile.
Hearing Queen Changsun's probing questions, Li Min secretly laughed in his heart. No matter how shrewd a woman is, she will still be confused when faced with issues related to her son's future.
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. My father is seriously ill and in a coma. According to the rules, it is natural for the prince to supervise the country. Moreover, the ninth brother is not young now. He usually learns from his father to handle government affairs. Therefore, the son suggested that the ninth brother can take over the father's place.
The emperor exercises imperial power!" Li Min said solemnly.
With Li Shimin unconscious, Empress Changsun became a person who could influence the political situation of the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Min had no idea about the Tang Dynasty, from the perspective of Empress Changsun, she would definitely have some concerns, so Li Min must first
Let Empress Changsun rest assured of herself to avoid misunderstandings when getting along in the future.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun relaxed and seemed to let out a sigh of relief, but then she spoke again: "Liu Lang, although Pheasant Nu is a prince, you also know his temperament. I'm worried that he won't be able to control the court."
Some of our veterans, so if Pheasant Nu is in charge, you should help him more!"
"Don't worry, mother, it is your duty to assist your ninth brother. Although it is inconvenient for me to intervene directly in some matters, I will never refuse wherever your son is needed!" Li Min promised again. Originally, he said
Li Min's status was not suitable for interfering in the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would easily cause dissatisfaction with the Changsun family and other princes. However, the current situation was special, and sometimes he had to express his position, otherwise Li Zhi alone would not be able to handle it.
However, Empress Changsun heard that Li Min was not secretive at all, but directly stated that he would interfere in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. This actually made her feel more at ease. At the same time, she finally relaxed completely, and a look of emotion appeared on her pale face.
With a hint of blood, he smiled and said again: "Pheasant slave has been close to you since he was a child. Now that you are helping him, I feel relieved."
But when she said this, Empress Changsun frowned, and then said: "However, during this period of time, Pheasant Nu has been heartbroken because of his father's affairs and has no intention of handling government affairs. Although I have persuaded him many times,
But it has no effect. Fortunately, he listens to you, the sixth brother, the most, so you must persuade him."
"Don't worry, mother. Ninth brother is a very emotional person. In addition, he is also a father now, so his feelings for his father are even deeper. Therefore, he is more sad than anyone else about his father's serious illness, but he also knows that
It is my own responsibility, so I will persuade him to cheer up tomorrow." Li Min said very seriously. He might not be sure about other things, but it is not difficult for him to persuade Li Zhi.
With Li Min's guarantee, Empress Changsun finally felt relieved and began to chat with him about some family matters, such as Chou Chou's life in the palace after coming to Chang'an, and which family's daughter was good enough for Li Qi.
Or Li Mian, please pay attention and wait.
