Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 121 Extra Story - Li Tang's End

However, the elixir refined by the gods can't restore Li Zhi's declining health. It seems that his heart eaten away by years of fighting, busyness, and fatigue can no longer burst out a drop of vibrant blood. Withered overnight, nothing can grow, only half a century of worldly mist and countless regrets and remorse slipped before my eyes.

He turned his numb eyeballs to look at Chang'an, which is far away, and looked back, as if he saw his grandfather's heroic body and his father's deep face again.

Although it is not as good as Gao Zu's creation of the world and Taizong's literary and martial arts, but I am not a foolish and mediocre king, so I won't be ashamed to face my ancestors, right?

"I pardoned the world a few days ago, are the people happy?" he asked.

The Queen of Heaven said: "The people are very happy. The Spring Festival is coming, and the whole country is preparing to celebrate the Spring Festival well. They are very grateful for His Majesty's virtue."

That's right, even the fall of a generation of kings, even the death of an era, would not change anything.People will still live their simple and ordinary life, and time will still pass like incorruptible water without turning back.

"That's good." He said sadly, "I hope God will give me another month or two so that I can return to my hometown."

However, his last hope was dashed.

On the fourth day of December in the first year of Hongdao, Emperor Li Zhi died in Zhenguan Temple in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

All that remains is the "Edict of the Great Emperor"——

"If there are undecided military and state affairs, take the Queen of Heaven to advance and stop."

He bestowed the queen with the final supreme glory, and tried to use a paper to bind her to the position of a loyal and loyal queen mother. He was too aware of the disparity in strength between his wife and son. The way of retreating into advance can strangle Tianhou's heart full of desire.

Can it be successful?

He doesn't know, let the later people worry about what happened later. He has been tortured by illness and the pain of bereavement for decades, and now he can finally put down the crumbling ink pen in his hand and draw a new chapter for his life. Yin Hong's full stop.

On December [-]th, the first seven days of Li Zhi, Prince Li Zhe finally took over his position and became the fourth king since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

And his wife, Wei Xiang, also became a queen of a country, and her mother loved the world.

Wei Xiang lightly stroked the luxurious gown on her body, looking at the graceful and luxurious woman in the bronze mirror, she felt familiar yet strange. She finally lived up to her mother's hope and became the most admired person by all women in the world. , no one dared to despise her and treat her poorly, her family became noble because of her, and her aunt had to kneel in front of her to pay her respects.

"I have decreed to make your father Wei Xuanzhen the governor of Yuzhou." Li Zhe's figure appeared in the bronze mirror, with luxurious clothes and a heroic appearance, already quite the demeanor of a king of a country.

Wei Xiang turned around, straightened his clothes for him, and reminded him in a low voice: "You are already the Holy One, you should call yourself 'Zhen'."

"Let's care about what to do in private." Li Zhe said with a smile, "There is also Wei Hongmin from your mother's family. I have appointed him as Tai Fuqing. I hope he can live up to my expectations."

Wei Xiang couldn't help but said with a smile: "Your Highness wants to train his subjects, and they will definitely not disappoint you."

"Among the prime ministers, Pei Yan is the only one who holds the power, and he is my mother's confidant, so he will definitely confront me in everything." Li Zhe said, "Actually, I have already proposed to let your father be a prime minister."

"Enhancement?" Wei Xiang couldn't help but look shocked. It is already a great honor to join the army from a small ninth rank to be promoted to a third rank governor. If you let your father become a prime minister, you will definitely be punished by Pei Yan. be opposed to……

Before the remonstrance could be uttered, a young eunuch rushed to report: "Pei Yan, Mr. Pei, please see the emperor, he is waiting outside the palace."

Li Zhe sneered: "Xuan."

Wei Xiang couldn't help exhorting: "Your Majesty must not have any disputes with him, after all he..."

"He has always been my subject!" Li Zhe interrupted her impatiently, "He should know his own sense of propriety and etiquette, and it's not his turn to point fingers at me and make irresponsible remarks."

Wei Xiang looked at him helplessly, and finally had no choice but to leave the hall with a heavy and gorgeous dress.

He bumped into Pei Yan who had a serious face.

"Pei Gong has worked hard." She let go of the empress' aloof dignity and smiled at Pei Yan, hoping to resolve the faintly burning flames of war between the monarch and his subjects.

Pei Yan just nodded slightly, stroked his long beard with his fingers, and strode into the palace without even bowing to her, the queen.

In the hall, Li Zhe raised his eyebrows coldly, waiting for him.

Pei Yan smiled.

The young emperor was still angry because he refuted the matter of Wei Xuanzhen's appearance, which seemed to him too ridiculous, like a child getting angry with an adult if he didn't get his favorite toy—— It can only show that the real authority is still in the hands of an adult, and the young man on the throne is just a child at the mercy of others.

Pei Yan's smile angered Li Zhe, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes: "Pei Gong's meeting today is because I want to make Wei Gong a servant, right? Let me tell you, I have already made up my mind." You don't have to say any more."

"Then I have something to say, this matter has already been refuted by my disciples, your will does not count." Pei Yan said unhurriedly.

"Master?" Li Zhe snorted coldly, his eyes were like a sharp knife, he wished he could cut the smiling and calm man in two, "So what if I give my whole world to Duke Wei? Province!"

Pei Yan's expression finally changed: "You really think so?"

As soon as the words came out, Li Zhe regretted his slip of the tongue, but in front of Pei Yan, he was unwilling to show his weak side.

"Yes, so what?"

Pei Yan laughed again.

Without saying a word, with a faint smile, he slowly exited the hall: "Then, I will leave."

Wei Xiang lingered outside the hall for a while, then saw Pei Yan walking out of the hall with a faint smile, his heart suddenly felt as if he had stepped on thin ice, and a bit of chill passed up from his feet.

On February [-]th of the first year of Sisheng, just a few days after the dragon raised its head, the sky was like a thick piece of ice, and under the dark blue dome, there was a gorgeous glow, soaking the entire Luoyang palace.

In the Qianyuan Hall, a special court meeting is going on - it is a tradition left over from Gaozong's time to go to court every single order. Today, it is obviously for the urgent situation that the ministers are specially summoned to hold the court meeting on this special day.

Wei Xiang still can't listen to the government behind the curtain like the Queen of Heaven, so she can only inquire about the situation in the court through the little eunuch, her confidant.The little eunuchs were like dragonflies that had been spotted in the lake, and one after another came news of the court meeting.

"It's not good, ma'am, Pei Yan and Liu Weizhi led the imperial army and rushed in. It seems that they want to force their position!"

"Ridiculous!" Wei Xiang couldn't help but slapped the table, a dull pain flashed across his palm, "Your Majesty is the son of destiny, how can they be so presumptuous!"

"Back to your mother, it seems that the Queen Mother has issued an order... to abolish Your Majesty."

Wei Xiang was almost taken aback, and the uneasy ripples in his heart expanded, and he hurriedly urged the little eunuch to inquire again: "Quick, go and see, why is this!"

The little eunuch scrambled and scrambled, and fled all the way. Immediately afterwards, several forbidden soldiers entered in a file, and the leader was Cheng Wuting, the general of the forbidden army.

Wei Xiang gathered her five fingers together, her face still calm: "General Cheng, are you going to force the palace?"

Cheng Wuting waved back the forbidden army behind him, and said with a smile: "No, ma'am, I'm just ordered by the queen mother, please move out. You are no longer the emperor of the middle palace, so naturally you can't live here."

"Nonsense, I am the queen of Tang Dynasty, how dare you make such a fool!"

"Your Majesty... No, the King of Luling has been abolished by the Queen Mother, and you are now the Princess of Luling." Cheng Wuting still smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and the steel knife in his hand flashed a hint of threat, faintly threatening.

Wei Xiang swung his long sleeves heavily, but calmed down: "Your Majesty is not at fault, why should you depose him?"

Cheng Wuting seemed to have heard a big joke, and a gloomy coldness flashed in the dark and sly eyes like a beast: "He's going to give the world to your father, isn't that a fault?"

Wei Xiang suddenly felt as if she had taken a step in the air, and her whole body sank. The chair supported her body firmly, which made her barely maintain the demeanor of a noble lady.

"The Empress Dowager has decreed to abolish the Holy Majesty as King of Luling and make King Yu the Emperor, so you should please."

This is the end?

Wei Xiang was not reconciled, she worked hard for several years, and finally got rid of the prince Li Xian, and won the throne of emperor for her husband, but she only stayed for a short month, because of one sentence, all the calculations became false?

Five fingers slammed into the palm, poking out ten blood-red holes, each of which looked like her heart, gurgling blood.

Seeing that she was standing still, Cheng Wuting winked downwards, pulling Sheng Sheng out of the hall like moving a big Buddha.

Until a few years later, he still remembered that woman's heart-piercing cry - "You wait, I will definitely come back, you all remember it!"

Daydreaming, he smiled in his heart.

Now everyone can see that the world is already under the control of the Wu family, and the new emperor Li Dan is just a puppet at the mercy of others. The real master of the world is the noble mistress behind the tulle in the Zichen Palace. Lianzi, with a dignified and resolute smile, walked in front of Tianxia.

From then on, no one dared to stop her by stirring up the situation, fiddled with the universe, and watched the world with disdain.

In this world, the surname is no longer Li.

Even if it is a dynasty that once expanded its territory and dominated one side, it will finally usher in its end. Even the era of several generations of wise emperors and virtuous ministers will finally come to the end of fate.

Li Tang, from this moment on, has come to an end.
