Chapter 989 Li Shimin’s Misunderstanding (Part )

Li Shimin's heart seemed to have fallen into the abyss and gradually sank.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had guessed the truth of the matter. This coup d'état came with such force that it was as overwhelming as a mountain, but it also stopped and showed mercy, and it also seemed a little hesitant and sticky. The whole rhythm did not fit the decisive style of the overlord at all.

Li Shimin himself had done such a thing, so he naturally knew that if he took a step forward, he would be a dragon flying to the sky, but if he took a step back, he would be doomed. If he had ten points of strength, he would use twelve points, for fear that he would not use enough strength and would fail at the last moment.

But this style is not suitable for a woman who is extremely smart, well-informed, but reluctant to do anything when the time comes. She is in a dilemma, relying on luck. Who else can be in Chang'an except his "virtuous wife", the princess of the Changsun family, and now the queen who is the mother of the country?

After figuring it all out, Li Shimin's face turned pale, beads of sweat poured out from his forehead, he felt heartbroken and lay down with his hands on his chest.

It is really the darkest place under the lamp?
No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief within your own family. He considered everyone, but ignored the Empress Dowager, whose status in the Tang Dynasty was second only to his.

Li Shimin was even more pessimistic and imagined that Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji might not be unaware of the situation. If Changsun Wugui was the mastermind behind the incident, then that would make sense.

Fang Xuanling was deeply favored by the Queen. Apart from himself, he always followed the Queen's lead. If the Queen came in person, Fang Xuanling might be persuaded; as for Changsun Wuji, there was no need to mention him, as he was the Queen's biological brother.

It is a relationship between brother and sister, and between monarch and subject. Changsun Wuji will definitely side with the queen.

My life is coming to an end, and these former right-hand men have to live on, and even try to please the new emperor for the sake of their families. The more Li Shimin thought about it, the sadder and more painful he became. He closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly felt that the whole world had betrayed him.

He now completely understood why those people did not continue to complete the second half, launch a mutiny, and then seize power?
There is the queen at the top, important ministers in the middle, and military generals at the bottom. From top to bottom, inside and outside, almost everyone is our own people.

What the hell is the point of changing into a soldier?

With such a powerful force, they should have already taken control of the entire Chang'an. Why bother with that? Isn't it just a waste of time?

This world is so cunning that he has to fight his way out of a hail of swords, guns and arrows, and experienced the murder of his brother and the forcing of his father at Xuanwu Gate. He is a ruthless man who dared to confront hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops on the other side of the Weishui Bridge alone, but he was played around by everyone.

First, there were the nobles, then there was the wife who gave birth to his children, and then there were the right-hand men who had followed him for more than 30 years. They all betrayed him. What was the point of living?

When Changsun Wugou saw that Li Shimin's face changed drastically just because he greeted him, he then lay down with his hands on his chest, looking extremely painful.

Zhang Sun Wu Gou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician!"

Fang Xuanling's face also changed drastically. He shouted loudly and stood up to run out.

Seeing the two of them singing and shouting, Li Shimin became more certain of his guess, thinking that he had now become a puppet like his father.

While secretly sighing in his heart, he realized that having learned the lesson from the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the cooperation between Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji and the Queen became more tacit, their methods were more powerful, and they accomplished the task of changing the world without making a fuss.

It can be said that it is perfect, how clever!
If they had such means back then, why would I end up covered in blood, notorious, and covered in shit that I can never wash off?

Li Shimin was overwhelmed with grief for a moment. He thought of his father. When he was facing the bloody heads of his two sons, his own brother's blood on his face, and was forced to abdicate with a long spear in his hand, he felt such grief and helplessness from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yuan was filled with despair at the time, and he roared in despair at the vast land: "Is this the price of gaining the world?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin didn't know why, but suddenly understood his father. He no longer had any scruples. He lay on the bed, looking up at the sky and laughed: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha"

The sudden laughter startled both Changsun Wugou and Fang Xuanling. Li Shimin laughed unscrupulously, and his laughter was filled with endless sadness and despair, as if he had seen some unbelievable human tragedy, and his entire faith collapsed in an instant.

From then on, I felt that the world was not worth living!

Changsun Wugou was terrified. She felt that Li Shimin at this moment was so strange and scary. His pair of blood-red eyes were staring at her, like a devil crawling out of hell. Changsun Wugou was so scared that she kept backing away, her face pale.

Fang Xuanling was also frightened by this sudden scene. He was stunned and stood in the hall at a loss.

Li Shimin covered his chest with one hand and grabbed the edge of the bed with the other, yelling frantically: "Father, Father, I understand. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I shouldn't have killed my elder brother, my fourth brother, and so many relatives."

"Is this your punishment for your son?"

"Let me personally experience the consequences of being betrayed by my loved ones. I have experienced it, and my heart hurts so much." "Uh"

Suddenly, Li Shimin's face turned red and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his chest red. Due to the intense movement, his tense body instantly fell back to its original position, and his outstretched hands became limp and powerless, without a sound.

Seeing this, Changsun Wugou and Fang Xuanling were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Changsun Wugou collapsed to the ground as if all the strength had been drained away, tears falling like raindrops, with a sad look on his face, he wailed: "No, no, Your Majesty, Erlang, where is Erlang?"

Changsun Wugou struggled to get up, but suddenly, his body stiffened and he fainted, without any movement.

When Fang Xuanling saw that the emperor and the empress had fallen silent one after another, his face turned pale and he almost fell over. He took a deep breath, and his mind, which was almost fainting, became clear. Fang Xuanling did not know where he generated a strong force.

He suddenly ran to the imperial bed, put his trembling hand under Li Shimin's nose, and felt it carefully.

At this time, Fang Xuanling was extremely nervous, his face was anxious, and his heart was beating so fast that he almost jumped out of his throat. Fang Xuanling's face became anxious, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

He held his breath and concentrated his energy, closely feeling the subtle changes between his fingers.

After a long while, when he felt the faint breath coming from Li Shimin's nose, his heart, which had risen to his throat, instantly fell back into his chest. He rolled out of the bedroom and shouted loudly, "Quickly call the imperial physician, the emperor has fainted."

"The queen was so sad that she lost consciousness."

Wang De and Ma Xuanliang quickly started to move and went to call the imperial physician. In fact, they heard Fang Xuanling calling the imperial physician for the first time, and they called the imperial physician. However, when they walked to the door, Li Shimin's almost crazy laughter suddenly came from the hall.

Wang De quickly coaxed the imperial physician away and hid far away, fearing that he would hear something he shouldn't hear and lose his life.

Anyway, Fang Xuanling was inside and the Queen had just gone in, so when the sky came down, there would naturally be someone taller to support it.

At this time, after being summoned by Wang De and the imperial doctors to come in, Ma Xuanliang thought about it and stood at the door instead of going in to help. He was a guard, not an imperial doctor or a eunuch, and it was not his turn to serve the emperor.

If you go in now and see something you shouldn't see, you'll be doomed if you're silenced afterwards.
Just when he had made up his mind not to enter the palace no matter what, Wang De's voice suddenly rang out: "Master Fang, Master Fang, what's wrong with you? It's bad, Master Fang has fainted, hurry up and save him!"

Ma Xuanliang's face suddenly trembled, and his face turned pale. He wished he could faint at this moment to avoid this disaster. However, in this kind of thing, even Wang De had a chance, but it was not his turn.

The people who were in charge of the Tang Dynasty had all fainted, which made Wang De and Ma Xuanliang completely panic. Although there were many other important officials in the court, and many princes of the royal family, the two did not dare to notify them casually. They had been in the core position for a long time, and they knew.

Some of the risks come from the people around the emperor.

The imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau only cared about treating people and dared not say a word about other matters, for fear of making a mistake and being held accountable afterwards.

Fortunately, there was Princess Ankang brought by Zhangsun Wugou and Hou Junji who was waiting to apologize in the Chengqing Outer Hall.

Ma Xuanliang hurried out and informed Princess Ankang.

At this critical moment, the experienced Hou Junji stood up, straightened his chest and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Highness, the Emperor, Empress, and Prime Minister Fang have all fainted. The most important thing now is to seal off Chengqing Palace."

"No one is allowed to enter or leave, to prevent the news from leaking out, causing unrest in the court, and giving others with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage."

"The Emperor and Prime Minister Fang are old, but the Empress is in good health. I don't think anything serious will happen. She will wake up soon. What the princess needs to do is to stabilize the situation during this period. As long as one of the three recovers, she can take charge of the situation."

Now Ankang is the only person who can represent the emperor and empress and shock the audience.

In this critical moment, she showed extraordinary calmness and wisdom, and immediately ordered Ma Xuanliang to seal off the entire Chengqing Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. With this backbone, the situation was temporarily under control.

Fortunately, the queen woke up not long after.

Upon learning that Li Shimin had merely fainted and did not follow his father and brother, Changsun Wugou felt relieved and began to order martial law in the palace, summon important officials to the Hongwen Hall, and arrange for palace guards. All events were arranged in an orderly manner.

The next day, Li Shimin woke up after a night's rest.

After yesterday's excitement and outburst, Li Shimin could be considered a man who had died once. When he returned to the world again, he suddenly became open-minded.
