The next day, Qin Mubai took a few days to write the memorial, and re-written a memorial with the memorial of the yellow silk memorial, which was thick and thick like a book. Then, it was handed over to the special envoy of the Dudufu to express the horse to Chang'an.

Qin Mubai stood by the window on the second floor of the Dudu's Mansion, watching the four special envoys rush out of Lanzhou City and head to the east. I thought in my heart: Nowadays the world is full of hustle and bustle, the undercurrent is turbulent, whether it's smoothly passing through or it's about to happen, in fact, it's only between the lines. I hope that this memorial of mine will reach Chang'an, so that all the disturbances in front of us can be put to rest, and Datang can return to peace and enjoy the peace and fruits of the post-war period.

"Although I never felt how great my Qin was, and I never thought about what savior or hero should be. However, I don’t want to see the results of my hard work with my father and all the soldiers. In front of my eyes!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, muttered to himself, "I came to Datang after a thousand years. I am deeply in love with this era and country, and I have a deep love for me. , And the person I love deeply; I don’t want Datang to suffer any loss because of me, and I don’t want my relatives and friends to suffer any disaster."

"It's over! Everything should be over! I have done everything I want to do and should do. Just when you all thought that Qin Mubai was about to be arrogant and domineering, I took the initiative to give up everything in my hands. "The smile on Qin Mubai's face became more relaxed and indifferent, "Many people may have overlooked one thing-the ultimate goal of war is actually for peace, not as a way to get promoted and wealth. Successive wars have made me successful. Qin Mubai’s fame and power, but this is not what I want. Only those who have been on the battlefield and have experienced killings can truly appreciate the fragility and preciousness of life. One will succeed in everything! — —Those glory and wealth piled up with blood and life are actually hard to endure; unless I am ignorant of my conscience, how can I hold on to it?..."

"In the past few years, I have killed too many people. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go to the Tianwang Temple in the Imperial City of Chang'an, and ask Master Qingshan to explain Zen to me... Do you know how they are now?"

……

The night is long, and in the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, the lanterns are always silent.

The mother and daughter of Concubine Yin Dee waited on Li Shimin's sickbed, all with haggard faces. Both looked at Li Shimin who was lying quietly on the couch, frowning.

"Mother, it's late at night, you go and rest!" Princess Gao Yang whispered, "Father, here, I will guard. When dawn comes, mother will come and change me to rest."

"Also..." Concubine Yin De sighed softly, got up and left.

Several attendants, Gong E and eunuchs also changed their shifts, adding kerosene to the room to do some chores, all of them lightly did not dare to make any noise. After a while, the two imperial doctors came to check Li Shimin's condition, and after boiled the medicine and put it down, they both retreated.

Princess Gao Yang looked at the father of the former hero, Gai Shilong, who was so sick and haggard. She felt sad. The palace women left and right were about to wait for Li Shimin to take medicine. Princess Gao Yang saw that her father was so upset by them so "tossing" her, so she kicked them and the eunuchs out of the room and fed them herself.

After a lot of effort, Princess Gao Yang finally helped Li Shimin to sit up, put a big pillow behind her, and then gave him a spoonful of medicine. Li Shimin was still in a coma, having difficulty swallowing, and the potion dripped dripping all over, Princess Gao Yang secretly cursed that she was useless and it was a while of sadness, tears fell straight down.

After finally taking the medicine, Princess Gao Yang helped Li Shimin to lie down. She was tired and sleepy, holding Li Shimin's hand and lying next to him, and fell asleep groggy.

Between dreaming and waking up, Princess Gao Yang felt something touching her head. At first, she didn't understand, she said in a daze, "Mother, don't touch me, I'm going to sleep..."

"Linger, it's hard for you..." A voice was vaguely heard.

Princess Gao Yang shuddered all over her body. She raised her head and opened her eyes to see that Li Shimin was looking at her sickly and tiredly, with a smile on her pale face. A big hand is being raised, and he must have stroked Princess Gao Yang's head just now.

"Father, you are awake!" Princess Gao Yang plunged into Li Shimin's arms and wept with joy!

"Yes..." Li Shimin gently stroked Princess Gao Yang's head, sighing long.

Princess Goyang is overjoyed again: "Father, can you speak?!"

Li Shimin gently patted Princess Gao Yang on the head, the smile on his face was only kind.

"Father!..." Princess Gao Yang was choked with sobs, "I will tell my mother and concubine the good news right away!"

"No need." Li Shimin gently stroked Princess Gaoyang's face, wiped her tears from her face, and said softly, "It's late at night, your mother and concubine are asleep. You have been working hard these days. Let her rest!"

"Yeah!" Princess Gao Yang nodded heavily, and tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"Did a lot of things happen in my coma these days?" Li Shimin asked.

Princess Gao Yang wiped her tears, and tucked the quilt on Li Shimin and said: "Father, you just woke up just now, so don't bother about it, so you can be healthy!"

"It's okay, tell me!" Li Shimin smiled and said, "I, I have already been through the ghost gate, what else can I worry about?"

Princess Goyang hesitated for a moment, seeing Li Shimin's resolute attitude, she nodded helplessly, "Okay!"

So, Princess Gao Yang gave the details of the investigation into the assassination of Li Ke, the suicide of Dr. Wei Ting, the disappearance of Jin Wang Lizhi’s Northern Tour, and the Qin brothers’ self-imposed plea. Tell Li Shimin.

While speaking, Princess Goyang observed Li Shimin's expression. Seeing that all his emotions were stable and normal, he dared to proceed cautiously.

After listening, Li Shimin's reaction was indeed calm. He nodded softly and said, "Even though I am in a coma, I know these things more or less; even if I don't know, they are mostly expected. Linger, you didn't tell me anything important, did you?"

Princess Goyang bit her lip, "Father, I don’t want to say!"

"It's related to Mu Bai, don't you want to talk about it?"

"Father...You all know?" Princess Gao Yang asked in surprise.

Li Shimin smiled noncommitantly, "How can you not involve your lover when so many things happen? Linger, are you scrupulous if you refuse to tell me?"

"Father!" Princess Gao Yang said suddenly excited, "Do you believe that Mu Bai will rebel?! This kind of vain is alarmist, I don't want to talk about it!!"

"Did I say'believe'?" Li Shimin smiled indifferently, "If I can't believe him, I won't hand over half of the Tang Dynasty and most of the soldiers and horses to him."

"Then you still..." Princess Gao Yang said halfway, feeling that her tone was too aggressive and intense, so she changed to a soft voice, "Then father, why did you let Li Jing control the capital of the capital, right? Is Kansai taking strict precautions?"

"Ling'er, everything is not as simple as you think." Li Shimin gently wrung his brows, and said, "I am ill, and the country has no ownership. This is a very time, and even my son dares to go. Assassination, who can guarantee that no one is going to cause chaos in Chang'an? I asked Li Jing to point out soldiers and horses in the capital to strengthen the defense. This is an emergency strategy, for the safety of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the ruling and opposition parties, not for the Kansai Of."

When Princess Goyang heard this, this explanation was reasonable. But when she thinks of the rumors that "Kanxi Qin Mubai wants to oppose" that is now circulating in the outside world, the knot in her heart can't be solved.

Seeing her sad, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Ling'er, how I have treated Mu Bai for so many years, others don't know what you don't understand?"

Princess Gao Yang nodded gently, "My father treats Mu Bai like his own son..."

"Yes! I have fantasized more than once. If Mu Bai is my biological son, that would be great." At this point, Li Shimin raised his hand and gently tapped his thigh, sighing." It's a pity! Although the son-in-law wins the half son, it is still a layer apart; coupled with the estrangement between us and the monarch and ministers... I have trusted Mu Bai before, but Mu Bai can't believe me!"

"Why did the emperor father say that?" Princess Gao Yang frowned a little displeased, "Mu Bai is loyal to Datang and the emperor father, and has never been wronged!"

Li Shimin smiled a little lonely, "At that time, I sent Chu Suiliang to Lanzhou to pick up your young couple. Why did you only come, but Mu Bai came here? And, you came here alone and didn't take you I brought my daughter. I and your mother and concubine just want to see you, and our newly-born granddaughter. Isn’t it human nature to be a parent?"

Princess Gaoyang knew that she was a bit wrong, bit her lip and thought for a while, and said: "At that time, Mu Bai had already led an expedition. Xiaodier...not long after she was born, she couldn't bear the burden of traveling. The emperor didn't give her father a long time ago. Have you explained it?"

Li Shimin smiled, "Ling'er, what you think in your heart, you know yourself. My own daughter, I also understand deeply, why should you sophistry?"

Princess Gao Yang gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not be blinded, and simply said: "Yes! At that time, I was worried that someone in the court would be afraid of Lord Baigong Gao Zhenzhu, and it would be bad for him to cut his military power! I was also worried, I am here this time. Can Changan return to Mu Bai again, so..."

"Ling'er said'there is someone in the court', does that person refer to me?" Li Shimin closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, and said softly, "I know that Mu Bai has always been smart, and he must have expected it. So I set off to lead the army first. As for you... from the time you married Fang Yiai, my position in your heart is far behind Qin Mubai, right?"

Princess Gao Yang was startled, speechless and silent.

"Ling'er, you and Mu Bai have misunderstood me." Li Shimin opened his eyes, looked at Princess Gao Yang sadly and sadly, and said, "I call you back, one is because I and your mother concubine I miss you all; second, I really don’t want Mu Bai to conquer the Western Regions. There is another reason, which is actually the most important. Have you thought about it?"

"Wait!" Princess Gao Yang interrupted Li Shimin when her eyes lit up, and said, "Father, why didn't you let Mu Bai conquer the Western Regions?"

"He was very tired when he took down Tubo, and the credit was great enough." Li Shimin did not hide, and said bluntly, "Giving a little credit to subordinates like Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui may not be a bad thing. Ling'er, it's not that I am worried. It’s not that I am worried that Mu Bai will support his own strength and he will not lose his tail. I am thinking about your future!"

"What, how do you say?" Princess Gao Yang asked, confused for a while.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Linger, think about it, now that I am still alive, no matter how good Mu Bai is, I don't have to worry about it. Just like, I have never been afraid of suppressing any founder of the country; but, Once Zhen Longyu has returned to heaven, no matter which prince takes over the throne, who can hold him down with Mu Bai's fame and fame? Is there any courtier who can compare and weigh with him? ... No matter which dynasty or generation, The courtiers who respect the power alone will not end well. It has nothing to do with whether the king is wise and virtuous!"

Princess Gaoyang was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Then... Then now Mu Bai has calmed down the Western Regions, what should I do?"

Li Shimin waved his hand, "Don't worry, there is always a solution to the matter. Haven't I died yet?"

"Father...Don't say such words!" Princess Gao Yang felt very uncomfortable.

"In fact, I want you to return to Chang'an for another reason, and the most important thing is..." Li Shimin wrinkled his brows, looked at Princess Gao Yang earnestly, and said, "I want to make a reservation. Ask Mu Bai’s clear attitude!"

Princess Goyang is shocked again!

"Father...Why do you want to ask Mu Bai for this kind of thing?"

"Why don't you ask?" Li Shimin asked, and then replied, "I look around the country and the country, and the ministers and generals who founded the country with me, the old are dead, there are not many left. Those who are alive are all old. Once we die, they will not live for a few more years. Among the rising stars of the younger generation of the military and political circles, the ruling and the opposition, Mu Bai is undoubtedly the strongest, the most creditable and the most prestigious. I want to let him serve as the right-hand man to assist the new monarch I chose. Therefore, this new monarch must first be approved by Mu Bai; but Mu Bai's approval alone will not work, and other important ministers will also agree. If there is a difference, I have to spend time and effort to reconcile while I am still alive. Isn’t that right? At the same time, this is also the reason why I summoned Mu Bai back to the court ahead of time. No one can compete with it. I am thinking about his long-term future!"

"Father!..." After hearing all this, Princess Gaoyang suddenly realized that she threw herself into Li Shimin's arms and wept bitterly, "It turns out that your intentions are so good, we all misunderstood you!"

"Hey!... everyone in the world is a good king, but who knows that it is not easy to be a king?" Li Shimin gently stroked Princess Gaoyang's face, and said leisurely, "The heart of the king is like iron, sometimes it must be cold. The six relatives don’t recognize it. But I want to be a good emperor and a good father. You, Mu Bai, and your prince eldest brother, the third brother Wu Wang, the fourth brother Wei Wang, and the ninth brother Jin Wang. I don’t understand what I have done as a father...good and hard work!"

"Father, I understand now!" Princess Gaoyang couldn't cry, "Father's love is like a mountain! Like a mountain!..."
