    Galloping on horseback, Li Su led a dozen tribesmen to the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City in less than an hour.  A group of people gathered outside the palace gate, all civil servants and military generals wearing court uniforms, including Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and the God of War Li Jing who had been closed for a long time to thank guests, as well as Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Niu Jinda and others, who were in the court.  Almost all the important ministers and generals were present.  As I got closer, I realized that everyone's face was very poor. Some courtiers gathered together and kept raising their sleeves to wipe away tears. Changsun Wuji, Li Ji and others also had red eyes and faint traces of tears on their cheeks.  The atmosphere in the square was inexplicably heavy, a low pressure filled the surroundings, and the world seemed to have become dark.  Li Su's heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale, and she hurried forward to salute Li Jicheng, Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji and other elders.  After the salute, Li Su hurriedly asked Li Ji: "Uncle, your majesty, he" Li Ji glanced at him and said, "Zizheng didn't ask more, has your majesty also issued an order to summon you? Come into the palace quickly.  "Li Su didn't dare to ask any more questions. He confessed to the elders and then hurried to the palace gate.  There were eunuchs guarding the palace gate for a long time. Seeing Li Su coming, the eunuch didn't say much. He stepped aside and invited Li Su to enter the palace. The eunuch led the way, and Li Su followed behind without saying a word.  Passing through the Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, and going straight to the Ganlu Hall, Li Su often entered the palace in the past and was already familiar with the layout of the Taiji Palace. But today, he felt particularly anxious and finally came outside the Ganlu Hall.  Today there were a rare number of people kneeling outside the Ganlu Hall. The leader was Liu Shenwei, the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Office, and the eldest disciple of Sun Lao Shenxian. The rest were all imperial physicians. They all looked sad and knelt in a row in the corridor outside the palace, each hanging his head.  Wiping tears from his head, he did not dare to cry.  Li Su's heart became heavier. He knew what these imperial doctors kneeling outside the palace meant. Thinking of Li Shimin's imminent death, Li Su's heart surged with emotion, and his eyes turned red unknowingly.  The eunuch asked Li Su to wait while he went in to report. After a while, the eunuch came out and respectfully invited Li Su to come into the palace to meet the king.  Li Su took off his shoes in the corridor, put on his full clothes and entered the palace, his steps a little hurried.  After entering the hall, Li Su quickly raised his eyes and found that Li Shimin was half-lying behind the low table at the head of the hall. His complexion seemed to be rosy, much better than the previous days, and he even had a familiar hearty smile on his face.  Li Su couldn't help but feel doubtful. His complexion didn't look like someone who was about to die Moving his eyes slightly, Li Su saw Chang Tu standing quietly behind Li Shimin.  Chang Tu is still the same, with a ghostly figure that is neither yin nor yang, standing behind Li Shimin like a shadow.  It's just that Chang Tu's demeanor today is different from usual. There is a smile on his old expression, but his eyes are red, and there are faint traces of tears on his face. Looking at Li Shimin's back in front of him, Chang Tu's eyes reveal a rare look.  The color of sacrificial holiness.  Li Su walked into the hall with broken steps, stood five feet away from Li Shimin, bowed his head and saluted.  "I am the Duke of Jingyang County, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, General Yunhui, Yousanqi Changshi, Shangshu Youcheng Li Su, pay homage to Your Majesty." This is the first time that Li Su has listed all his official positions, titles and honorary titles.  The title goes into so much detail.  Before he even looked up, he heard Li Shimin laughing and saying: "Young boy, you are so young, I have given you so many titles without knowing it. It seems that I have treated you very well over the years. Just for this reason, Zi  It's time to say thank you to me, right?" Li Su said hurriedly: "I have always been grateful for Tian's kindness, and I am grateful for His Majesty's kindness all the time. The emperor's kindness is so great" Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go on.  , I blushed. I thought you had matured a lot, but I didn¡¯t expect that your mouth still smells like a familiar bastard. Zizheng, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be stable again in this life.¡±  After passing the mirror, I found that I was both stable and heavy" Li Shimin laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Okay, Zizheng, don't say anything anymore, I'm already very happy, no need to say anything more, haha" while laughing.  While panting, Li Su could hear that Li Shimin's breath was still weak, even weaker than the last time he saw him. After Li Shimin calmed down, he raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from laughter at the corners of his eyes, and said: "I know that Zi is  In order to make me happy and make me happy I accept Zizheng's intention. You are a good boy. I am very happy to see you gradually becoming the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. " Li Su lowered his head and said:  "I am today thanks to your majesty's tolerance." Li Shimin sighed: "You are wrong. I am not tolerant to anyone. It is precisely because you have great abilities that can be used by the country that I will do it again and again.  I don't want to tolerate you. If you are just a mediocre person, I'm afraid I can't tolerate you long ago." Li Su Yilin, heI realized that there was something else in this sentence, but I had so much dark history that I didn't dare to say anything for fear of arousing Li Shimin's distant memories and anger, which would lead to a worrying outcome.  Li Shimin looked at him and smiled and said, "Why didn't Zizheng speak? Are you feeling guilty?" Li Sufei blinked quickly and said, "I am not a sage. I was young and frivolous and ignorant. I inevitably did a few wrong things. Now,  When I think back, I feel ashamed and truly ashamed of the emperor's kindness." Li Shimin nodded: "Whether your regret is true or not, you still have a sense of awe, so I will take it as what you said is the truth." "I paused.  Li Shimin said slowly: "Today I summoned the civil and military ministers of the court separately, all individually. You are the last one, Zizheng. In my eyes, you are already an important minister of the court, just like Changsun Wuji and others.  In the near future, you will also become the emperor's right-hand man. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds, so as not to betray the emperor's favor." Li Su hurriedly saluted: "I will do my best, but I am not very old, and may occasionally get into trouble.  I hope that your majesty will still be as merciful to me as before. I promise that the trouble I will cause will not be too big and will not embarrass your majesty" Li Shimin laughed again, his laughter gradually subsided, and his expression suddenly turned sad: "  If you get into trouble in the future, I will no longer be the one who tolerates you. In fact, I really miss the way you kept getting into trouble. At that time, I would only get angry when I heard about it, and sometimes I wanted to kill you with a knife. But now that I think about it,  But I think it's quite interesting. It can be regarded as a past story between you and me, a good story. The future history will not record this. Only you and I know the past." Li Su couldn't help but feel sad after understanding what he said.  "Your Majesty, you are still in your prime years, and you will definitely recover from your minor ailments. The Tang Dynasty is now in a prosperous age. It is all the result of the hard work of your Majesty and the princes in the court. Don't you want to see the prosperous age with your own eyes?  When the time comes, don't you want to see the kings of Tibet, Goguryeo, and Western Turks come to Chang'an and kneel outside the Taiji Palace to congratulate Your Majesty?" Li Suyue became more and more sad as he spoke, and his eyes gradually turned red.  , tears welled up in his eyes, trying not to fall.  Li Shimin looked fascinated. Obviously, what Li Su said was his lifelong wish, and he also wanted to see that day.  "I can't see you, haha. Although I am the emperor, I can't go against God's will. If I could have accepted Zizheng's advice and postponed the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, even if I could have listened to Zizheng's advice on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition,  , if I don¡¯t underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, maybe my life will be longer, and many of my wishes may be able to see it come true with my own eyes" Li Shimin sighed sadly: "My time is running out, I really can¡¯t bear to leave this world.  I was able to earn it with my life, sword by sword. I thought that I would be free and easy all my life, but I was still confused before I left. " Li Su was silent.  When he looked up at Li Shimin again, Li Su clearly saw that his face was unusually rosy, so he felt a chill in his heart and his emotions were agitated.  "Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. Don't talk too much. When your Majesty recovers, I am willing to accompany you to drink, play music, and even accompany your Majesty to conquer Goguryeo again. I still have many skills that I have not yet revealed.  I'm showing it to His Majesty" Li Su choked with sobs.  Li Shimin smiled and said: "I know you have many abilities. I don't know who you learned this ability from. It is really unfathomable. But I know you are loyal, so I won't ask you. Have you endured these years?"  You have suffered few grievances and experienced many dangers. Being able to use your skills for me has really made a lot of contributions to me. I am very pleased and fortunate. I have always been proud of myself for discovering your talent.  " "I will make new contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I just want your Majesty to see it with your own eyes" Li Su choked with tears.  Li Shimin sighed leisurely: "I can't see it anymore, but Pheasant Nu can. You and Pheasant Nu have always had a close friendship. After becoming a monarch and minister, I think you will be good. Pheasant Nu is my particularly favorite child. To be honest, as the next generation  The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still has many shortcomings, especially his weak temper, too much tolerance in everything, and a bit soft when it comes to things. I am really worried that in the future those veterans will bully him based on their status and seniority. Zizheng, you are a pheasant slave.  friend, in my impression, Pheasant slave seems to have only one friend like you. I am no longer here, you have to help him well, don¡¯t let him make mistakes, and don¡¯t let others bully him. With you in the court, I can  Put aside all your worries and promise me that you will assist me faithfully." Li Su lowered his head and choked with tears, "I will do my best to assist His Highness, and I will never let anyone bully him, I swear."  Staring at his face, his expression was extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I will remember your words. Zizheng must not break his promise or fail me." "Yes." Li Shimin stared at his face for a long time before he looked satisfied.  Nod slowly.  The endless exhaustion?? gradually appeared on Li Shimin's face. It seemed that in just a moment, Li Shimin suddenly aged a lot and his face became pale.  Li Su pursed his lips, and just as he was about to speak, Chang Tu, who was behind Li Shimin, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you are tired, it's time to take medicine" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Medicine and stone are difficult to cure, so what's the use of taking them?"  It's better for me to suffer less torture and walk away more quickly." Chang Tu sighed sadly and retreated slowly.  Li Shimin suddenly turned to look at Chang Tu and said with a smile: "I have summoned many courtiers today, and the things that need to be arranged have been arranged. The only thing I have not said is some personal words to you. Chang Tu, you have followed me these years.  I have not only worked hard, but also suffered a lot of grievances. I owe you a thank you" Chang Tu said with tears: "Your Majesty's life and death is the life and death of this old slave. This old slave's life has long been entrusted to your Majesty, just like your Majesty.  Your Majesty does not need to thank the old slave, it is what the old slave should do. " Li Shimin sighed: "I still have to thank you. I have actually failed in my life. I have failed as a son and I have failed as a father.  After the failure, I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor. I sat in the Dragon Court all day long, guarding against this and suppressing that. I even favored my own children in varying degrees. I know that many of my children actually hate me in their hearts.  , and even had murderous intentions towards me countless times, such as Cheng Qian" "Why aren't I on guard against them? I'm afraid that they will repeat what I did back then, that they will have too much power, and that they will one day gather an army and attack them.  I dethroned the throne, and the word "power" turned the Tian family father and son into sworn enemies. Isn't that enough of a failure for me? " "Chang Tu, the only person I can truly trust is you, think about it.  It¡¯s really ridiculous, pitiful, and pathetic¡­¡±
