The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 230 Queen Changsun’s last wish

"Have An'er and Dodo come?" In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun asked for the first time, and Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's hand with a sad face and said, "Guanyin maidservant, wait a minute." Wait, An'er and Duoduo will be here soon, and I also informed Wuji that he is coming too."

"Your Majesty, you must agree to some of my requests." Empress Changsun said weakly.

"Guanyin Maid, you will be fine. You are already well, but you just don't have the strength for the moment. So don't talk anymore. You have a good rest. After a while, An'er, Duoduo, and Wuji will be here." Li Shimin tears fell down.

But Empress Changsun seemed to know her end. She shook her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I know my own body. I only have a few small requests. I hope your Majesty will agree to it."

After saying that, Empress Changsun ignored Li Shimin's promise and immediately said: "First of all, the first thing is that I cannot be buried well after my death, because I have made no contribution to the country. A female prostitute has been favored by His Majesty and has been the leader of the harem for so many years. Being safe and stable has no merit for the people of Tang Dynasty, so your majesty must not give him a grand burial."

Hey. These words really made Li Shimin not know what to say. How could Empress Changsun be in vain? When Li Shimin wanted to kill Wei Zheng, it was Empress Changsun who stopped him.

There are many similar things.It should be said that Queen Changsun was indispensable for Li Shimin's creation of Zhenguan rule.Moreover, Chinese people regard death as life. Like Wu Zetian, Cixi, etc., they only worry that they have too few burial objects.However, Empress Changsun took the initiative to request a thin burial, which obviously moved Li Shimin even more.

"Secondly, don't use coffins. Just bury them like ordinary people."

According to "Zhou Rites", the use of coffins is not only to show one's identity, but also to recognize the living person's contribution to the deceased. Since Empress Changsun believed that she had no contribution to the country, she would certainly not use coffins.

"Third, there is no need to specifically raise the grave, just use the mountain to create a cave."

This third request was for the people, because Li Yuan's mausoleum was built on flat land with mounds of earth.The project was huge and would waste people and money. Empress Changsun saw this and thought of it for the sake of the people of the world, so she came up with the idea of ​​building a mausoleum based on the mountain.

Li Shimin didn't speak, but his heart was filled with pain. At this time, Empress Changsun smiled and said: "The last thing is, we must save money on funerals. There is no need to hold memorial ceremonies, just offer sacrifices at a distance!"

According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, after the death of the queen, members of the royal family would go to pay homage.But this will inevitably cost a lot.Queen Changsun said that it doesn’t have to be like this. Those who are far away can just offer sacrifices at home.

These four requests were all for the people, none of them were for herself or her family. Empress Changsun was definitely the wisest queen in thousands of years. After saying this, Empress Changsun took a deep breath.

Li Shimin quickly said: "Guanyin Maid, don't talk anymore, that's enough. You have a good rest. I want you to live. I can't live without you. Didn't you once say that you want to grow old with me? What's happening now? time, so you cannot die, I order you not to."

While talking, Li Shimin asked Li An and how far away Li Duoduo could enter the palace.

Huang Bao quickly replied: "Your Majesty, one more stick of incense is enough."

"Okay, hurry up, must hurry, my Guanyin maid is waiting for them." After saying that, Li Shimin started crying again.

At the same time, on Chang'an Avenue, Baiqi opened the way. Li Junxian held Li Duoduo and rode on the fast horse. Li An followed closely on the horse. You must know that although Li An can ride a horse at this time, , but it is still a bit difficult to hold someone. Li Junxian is a master, so he will hold Li Duoduo.At this time, Li An was a little scared. Queen Changsun suddenly wanted to see if something had happened to herself and Li Duoduo. She had just received the order. Li Junxian said that His Majesty had an order for Li An and Li Duoduo to enter the palace quickly.

To be honest, Li An's first thought was whether he had done something wrong, but Li Junxian said that he was allowed to enter the palace because Queen Changsun wanted to see him and Li Duoduo, which was even more strange.

After Li Junxian asked Li An to bring his first aid kit and medicines, Li An wondered if Empress Changsun had some kind of illness and needed to be rescued by herself.

If this is the case, then Li Anke is in trouble, because as we all know, Li An has no medical skills at all. He just relies on his shallow medical knowledge and modern medicines to solve some difficult problems. disease.

If Empress Changsun dies, then Li An is really powerless. Li An doesn't know how to cure the disease at all. But if he can't cure the disease, Li Shimin gets angry and kills himself, which is another helpless ending. He also brought Li Duoduo with him to prevent him from escaping. To be honest, the more Li An thought about it, the more something was wrong. He always felt that he was going to be doomed this time.

Why does Ang Lee think so?

Because there is no way not to think like this, Li An is going to be the royal doctor to save the situation. Who doesn't know that the royal doctor is a high-risk profession, why is there such a saying?Will he really be buried with his wife because of an incurable disease?

Originally, the quality of medical treatment had nothing to do with medical skills, but poor treatment did have something to do with imperial doctors.

If the doctor was careless, it was normal for his head to fall to the ground.Therefore, in the late feudal dynasty, the prescriptions prescribed by imperial doctors were often bland and stable, gentle and peaceful.He cannot cure the disease, nor can he eat dead people.

Second, the imperial doctors traveled to and from the harem all year round.Emperors, queens, concubines, princes, etc., they all know what disease they have.

Will use the imperial doctor to do some disgraceful things.Therefore, imperial doctors are often victims of political struggles.Finally, there is the funeral system of the feudal dynasty.During his lifetime, the emperor often relied on imperial doctors with superb medical skills.However, it is good to die in front of the emperor.They are usually buried with the emperor later than the emperor.

Li An was very worried that if he failed to cure Empress Changsun, Li Shimin would get angry and kill himself. How could you ask Li An to resist and bring his daughter with him? Li An was really getting more and more scared the more he thought about it.

However, there is no use being afraid now, because the palace gate of Chang'an City is already in front of you.

Just when Li An was about to dismount, Li Junxian shouted: "Mr. Li, there is no need to dismount, just go directly to the palace. I will protect Princess Yong'an and will arrive soon."

"Hiss!" Li An's heart skipped a beat again, hey, it made Li An feel bad to enter the palace directly without getting off his horse. It covers an area of ​​more than 723600 square meters, and the distance between palaces is very long.

Only Li Tai had a small sedan chariot, which was already a great favor, but today he was actually allowed to ride in directly. This was how serious the condition of Empress Changsun was. Li An felt panicked and looked at Li Tai. Jun Xian dismounted and picked up Li Duoduo, who was chasing him all the way. Li An could only sigh. It was a blessing, not a disaster. It was a disaster that could not be avoided. His daughter was already in the hands of others. Li An could only go all out. Save Queen Changsun.

"Drive!" shouted, and Li An went all out.
