Tang Dynasty

"Big Brother, Big Brother..." He murmured the other person's name, clearly hearing the unstoppable tremor in his voice.

Everything that I experienced just now, even if it was only in a dream, seemed to have suddenly touched the deepest part of my heart.Hazy, but clear as if within reach; unfamiliar, yet familiar as if experienced personally.

However, he suddenly felt great fear.This kind of fear is a torture that is better than death, and it is a pain that has never been experienced in life and death on the battlefield in the past.

He would rather die than experience such suffering again; he would rather give up everything than...lose his eldest brother.

"Brother..." Li Shimin buried his face in the other person's chest, and called out in a low voice over and over again, with helplessness, confusion, and even pleading in his voice.

There is clearly a trace of unreasonable belief in my heart, and I firmly believe that Li Jiancheng will wake up soon.This has become all the motivation for him to continue at this moment.However, the duration of this belief is endless. After this three-day wait, how many three days are still waiting for me?

And every moment of waiting is already like a long delay.

Li Shimin doesn't know how long he can hold this belief, he only knows that at this moment, he is willing to use everything in exchange for the other party to open his eyes.

For the rest of my life, what would it be like to walk alone without my elder brother?He was powerless and didn't even dare to think about it.

Hugging each other tightly, he finally shed tears silently.

----

When Wei Zheng pushed the door and entered, Li Shimin had already passed out.

With a light footstep, Wei Zheng slowly walked to his side and stood still, only to see Li Shimin lying beside Li Jiancheng with disheveled hair, but still clasped his five fingers tightly with one hand, as if he was still alive even if he couldn't sleep for several days and nights. With a bit of thought, he insisted on not wanting to sleep.

Li Shimin like this is like a helpless child.He was a completely different person from the majestic General Tiance on the horse in the past.Wei Zheng watched quietly with lowered eyes, he was speechless for a while, and only sighed softly.

However, this slight sigh made Li Shimin wake up suddenly. He instinctively raised his eyes to look at the person lying on the bed, and then turned to look at Wei Zheng, with a clear sense of disappointment remaining in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is awake," the two looked at each other for a moment, Wei Zheng cleared his throat slightly, and said, "He has been sent to enter the palace."

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded slowly, "Mmm".

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, let's do a little freshening up and go to the palace quickly."

"Forget it." Li Shimin turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng, then stood up and looked at Wei Zhengdao, "Mr. Lao is here..." Halfway through the sentence, he laughed silently and stopped continuing.

"Naturally." Wei Zheng looked at him and nodded slowly.

"Thank you." Li Shimin withdrew his gaze, left two words, and hurried out the door.

The room quickly returned to tranquility, as quiet as a needle can be heard.Wei Zheng stared down at Li Jiancheng on the bed. Li Jiancheng was lying on his back with his face turned inward. At a glance, he could only see a section of pale neck and scattered strands of hair.

After a long time, he bent down and stroked Li Jiancheng's sleeve that was exposed outside the quilt. There was a dark stain on it from the water stains, and there was still a wet feeling under the tentacles.

With a low laugh, Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, you are... just going to drive him crazy."

He didn't raise his head while speaking, but the words in his mouth were clearly addressed to the person on the bed.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

Wei Zheng didn't seem to care, but he still said slowly: "Actually, although His Highness failed to put him to death at Xuanwu Gate, at this moment Li Shimin has lost his mind, and taking his life is just a word from His Highness." After a pause, he finally raised his eyes to look at the person by the window, and said slowly, "Your Highness should know this better than I do."

The voice fell, and the room was silent.Wei Zheng looked at the other party quietly, as if he was waiting for something with conviction.

Finally, after a long time, the person on the bed spoke softly, "Sir... when did you notice it?" The voice was a little hoarse, like a sigh.

Wei Zheng only smiled when he heard the words, and said, "It's just a feeling in my heart.

----

After being seriously ill and lying in bed for several days, Li Yuan felt that he had aged a lot overnight.However, after seeing Li Shimin's description, he found that the other party's expression was in a trance, his eyes were tired, and his gestures and gestures were haggard, which was actually better than his own.

Withdrawing the surprise in his heart, he leaned on the bed, waited until Li Shimin stepped forward and stood still, then sat up slowly under the wait of the palace servants, and said: "Shimin is here."

Li Shimin greeted him, and raised his eyes to look at the sickly Li Yuan, only to find that there was already a person standing beside him, and it was Li Yuanji.

After experiencing the confrontation of swords and soldiers in front of the Xuanwu Gate, there was inevitably a gap between the two.The four eyes met for a moment, Li Yuanji cupped his fists in a lukewarm manner, and said, "Second brother."

Li Shimin nodded slightly at him, and just now stepped forward to the side of the couch, cupped his hands to Li Yuan and said: "Father is seriously ill, and my ministers failed to come to visit early, please punish Father!"

"Forget it, I couldn't see outsiders a few days ago. Even if the people of the world came, it would be useless, and it would be better...to spend more time with your elder brother." Li Yuan shook his head and sighed, "I am in such a situation, but I want to see him but I can't see him." I can't do what I want."

Li Shimin was only silent when he heard the words.After a while, I heard Li Yuan say again: "Completed...how is the situation?"

Li Shimin lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't woken up yet."

Li Yuan gave a low "Oh" and said, "It's been more than three days..."

"Yes……"

Li Yuan was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and then slowly said: "The three of you...what happened that day?"

That day when Li Yuan heard that Li Shimin wanted to enter the palace to ask for an audience, he was somewhat hesitant in his heart.In fact, if it is not a last resort, as a father, how can he let any child leave his side?

However, in order to prevent the two of them from killing each other, he had no choice.There is a lot of helplessness in it, and those who are not in the position cannot understand it.

It's just that what Li Yuan never imagined was that the thing he was most worried about still happened.Therefore, when he heard the news that Li Shimin was ambushed at the Xuanwu Gate and that Li Jiancheng vomited blood and fell off his horse, Li Yuan felt dizzy for a while, and then fell unconscious the next moment.

After waking up, Li Yuan already knew what happened, but he wanted to hear it from them.

It's just that in the face of Prince Li Jiancheng's coma and uncertain fortune, he is already somewhat powerless.

As soon as this question came out, the room immediately became silent.

Seeing that neither of them opened their mouths to respond, Li Yuan sighed, and said: "It's okay if you don't say anything, I don't know everything. It's just that I never thought that Jian Jiancheng, who has always been lenient, would actually kill someone."

"Father, the eldest brother has no intention of offending others, but others may not be like this! It is no secret in the palace that the second brother covets the throne. If it were not so, why would the father let the second brother go to Luoyang alone?" Li Yuanji immediately He stepped forward, cast a sideways glance at Li Shimin, and said, "If you don't act first, there is no guarantee that the one who will die at Xuanwu Gate in the future will be the elder brother!"

After listening to Li Yuanji's words, the blood-stained Xuanwu Gate in Li Shimin's mind instantly reappeared in Li Shimin's mind, followed by a throbbing pain in his heart, and the familiar and strange feeling surfaced again.

He clenched his fists secretly, laughed at himself, and then said slowly, "I won't attack big brother."

Li Yuanji sneered and said: "Back then, I used Yang Wengan to sue my elder brother for treason, intending to replace him. Did the second elder brother forget about this matter?"

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words, but he just said: "I... never thought of taking my brother's life."

A pale but understated sentence, clearly no intention of defending himself.

What he wanted was never Li Jiancheng's life, nor the high throne, but that person's reliance, that person's favor, that person's approval...even just a slight nod of approval, so that he can disregard everything He followed that figure again and again, through fire and water, without hesitation.

What exactly he wants has never been so clear as a mirror at this moment.

However, even though he thought about it thousands of times in the trance of waiting and expecting these days, he still couldn't figure out how the two of them came to the point where they are facing each other like swords and swords today?

Wrong step, wrong step; pressing each other, no one is willing to retreat.

But I don't know who between the two has too much obsession, which made everything end up like this.

But Li Shimin knew that this was definitely not what he wanted.Over the years, his feelings for his elder brother have been so deeply imprinted in his soul that he can't let go, cut off constantly, is satisfied and can no longer tolerate others, until he dies.

Maybe everything doesn't need to be too clear, maybe so, it's enough.

But how can others understand this kind of mood?Even if I want to talk to that person, I don't know if I still have a chance...

"Based on the nature of construction, there may be an inside story about this matter, and I will find out in the future." Turning his head and seeing Li Shimin's expression was abnormal, Li Yuan frowned slightly, and said to Li Yuanji, "Yuanji, go first." Then he turned back Li Shimin, "Stay here, Shimin, I still have something to say to you."

----

Wei Zheng stood by the bed, looked at Li Jiancheng, and said slowly: "Since His Highness is awake, why is he only in a coma?"

Li Jiancheng faced the inside, didn't move when he heard the words, but said in a low voice: "It's just that I haven't figured it out... what should I do next..." There seemed to be a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Highness is not someone who hesitates."

"Really?" There was another inaudible chuckle.

Wei Zheng also smiled, and said with an excuse: "I only know about this matter, but His Highness can't make a decision."

Li Jiancheng did not answer this time.

"Your Highness should know that if the King of Qin wants the crown prince, it's just a matter of pushing the boat along with the current, and it will be effortless." Wei Zheng paused slightly, and said, "If your Highness wants to make a move, there is no need to hesitate."

Li Jiancheng was still silent.

Wei Zheng checked his words, waited for a moment, and then changed the subject: "I just don't know if Your Highness still remembers what I said to the King of Qin the day before yesterday."

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Persuade Li Shimin to succeed...you will know that I have woken up then."

"I'm just trying to test the King of Qin," Wei Zheng didn't answer, but said, "However, after the test, I can't help but have doubts. The King of Qin stayed in bed under His Majesty's bed for three days in undressed clothes, and ignored the opportunity to ascend the throne. But it is really the position of the crown prince, Your Highness... have you ever thought about Qingming?"

After saying that, Wei Zheng smiled, trying to be free and easy, but for some reason, he only felt a bit of bitterness on his lips.

Li Jiancheng was obviously startled when he heard the words, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Sir, you have repeatedly advised me to act first, to get rid of Li Shimin early to avoid future troubles, and now Zensheng is speaking for him again." ?”

"What I have done, from the beginning to the end, is only His Highness." Wei Zheng bowed his hands to him, and said seriously, "If Your Highness really wants to kill Li Shimin, I will be the sword in His Highness's hand." One word said, "It's just that if His Highness doesn't think so in his heart, it's not that I absolutely don't want to see His Highness do something that goes against his wish, so as to avoid regret for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng suddenly stopped speaking. This time, it was a long, seemingly endless silence.

Wei Zhengfu took another step forward, staring deeply at the person on the bed with downcast eyes, even though the other person's eyes were not meeting his.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said: "Your Highness...has a deep affection for King Qin."

----

After Li Yuanji left, Li Shimin said, "I don't know what other orders my father has?"

Li Yuan said: "Jiangcheng vomited blood and fell into a coma, what happened?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a long time, and said: "Brother is suffering from a hidden disease, and every few hours he will feel pain in his heart, this disease has been with him for many years, there is no cure, the only way is to relieve the pain."

"There is such a thing?" Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Why did I never know?"

Li Shimin said: "Brother has never mentioned it to anyone, and I only found out about it by accident. It was just a heartache, but I don't know why... As for vomiting blood."

Hearing this, Li Yuan sighed a long time, coughed a few times in a low voice, and remained silent for a while.However, when he opened his mouth, he suddenly asked: "Shimin, do you want to be the Son of Heaven?"

Hearing him suddenly ask this question, Li Shimin was taken aback at first, but quickly smiled and said: "Of course I thought about it. I'm afraid there is no one in this world who doesn't want to." Before, I would not have such a heart."

Li Yuan was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled and said: "After I got seriously ill, my body is not as good as yesterday, and it will be a matter of time before Zen falls in your hands. Are you...do you really want to fight?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "If elder brother sits in this country, I will swear to defend him to the death; if he doubts me, I will wear white clothes and let him deal with it." This is what he wanted to say to Li Yuan when he entered the palace that day In other words, although many days have passed, it is not too late.

"I believe what you said today, so I will take back the fame that sent you to Luoyang." Li Yuan was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "It's just... if you don't wake up after the completion, so what?" In fact, it's not just him and Li Shimin. Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that if the prince changed hands, he would only be Li Shimin.

The worst scenario, as a father and a monarch, he must consider.

Li Shimin smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Brother...he won't die." The words were naive, and it seemed a bit obsessed.

Li Yuan was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt that such an expression could not be faked.So he was silent for a moment, and said: "I will send a few more imperial doctors to have a look immediately, you are tired after thinking about it these few days, go down and rest."

Li Shimin smiled in relief, and said: "Thank you, Father, I will take my leave now." Then he turned and left.

----

When Li Shimin returned to the Prince's Mansion, the sun had already set to the west.

He gently retreated the door of Li Jiancheng's room, and looked up, the person on the bed was still on the bed.Lie flat on your back, motionless.

Somewhat disappointed, but not unexpected.

Slowly walked over, knelt down by the bed, Li Shimin shook the other's hand, pulled it to his lips, and held it tightly with both hands.

Li Shimin felt the icy coldness of his palm, and felt exhaustion rushing up like a tide.He slowly closed his eyes and sighed silently.

However, as soon as Fang closed his eyes, countless pictures flashed before his eyes.Xuanwumen, horses, longbows, feathered arrows... blood.

The whole body began to tremble suddenly, Li Shimin opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Li Jiancheng, but happened to meet his gaze.

Calm as water, without a trace of turbulent gaze.

However, it really fell on my side.

Li Shimin was unable to move for a moment, and after a long time, he slowly stood up and stretched out his hand to touch the other party.I don't know whether I am still in a dream, or what I see is just a hallucination.

Li Shimin's fingertips trembled at the moment when he stroked the other side's side, but the familiar touch made him finally affirmed.

Brother woke up.Brother woke up.

After several days of waiting, several days of torment, finally came the result.

"Brother..." Li Shimin looked at the other party firmly, and called out softly, but found that the voice was trembling and hoarse when he opened his mouth.

Li Jiancheng didn't respond, but just looked at him intently, his eyes were no longer as calm as before.

Li Shimin finally bent down and hugged him tightly, as if letting go of his hand for a while, the other party would disappear.It's only three days away, but between life and death, there is a sense of being separated from the world.

Li Jiancheng let him hug him, and slowly closed his eyes while the other party was visibly trembling.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt Li Shimin bury his face deeply into his neck, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I would like to hand over my life to you, but I don't know if you would trust me once?"

Li Jiancheng didn't speak, but stretched out his weak hand and hugged him lightly with his backhand.

——Do you really want his life?

——If I really killed him with my own hands, would I really not have any regrets for the rest of my life?

——Have I really used my affection for him so far?

There are no answers and no answers are needed.Because my fingertips have been gradually exerting force, clasping the opponent's shoulder.

In this way, it is enough.

----

Zhongnan Mountain in March is full of fireworks.

Two fast horses came from afar, one white and one blue, dressed in casual clothes, and did not stop until they reached the Louguan Terrace on the mountainside.

They got off their horses, said something to the doorman, and then they both put on their robes and entered.

Until the doorman entered a back room and saw the people in the room, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "It's true that we never meet in life. Unexpectedly, the one who is well-known as the 'King of Medicine' is Mr.!"

It turned out that the "King of Medicine" Sun Simiao who the two of them specially came to visit today was none other than the doctor Li Shimin invited for Li Jiancheng on their way to Luoyang a few years ago.

Sun Simiao, with a strong sense of style, didn't seem surprised when he saw this, he just smiled and said: "Cao Min Xing has not changed his name or surname, but he has been around for many years, and his name is a bit false. But thinking of the people who were just unknown a few years ago, Your Highness I don't remember it, but it's a common thing." After a pause, he turned to Li Jiancheng, and said, "The son of the past is now the prince of today, and his demeanor and appearance are indeed not what they used to be."

Li Jiancheng cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are laughing."

Sun Simiao said: "If Cao Min remembers correctly, His Highness seems to be suffering from a chronic illness, but many years have passed. How is the situation?"

Li Shimin said from the side: "To tell you the truth, sir, the two of us are here today for this reason."

Sun Simiao nodded, then took Li Jiancheng's pulse, and listened to the two explain their illnesses.At the end, he pondered for a moment and asked: "Since you were in a coma for several days that day, have you never had this disease again?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Exactly."

Sun Simiao frowned slightly and said: "There is nothing wrong with His Highness's pulse condition. This matter is strange, and the grassroots can't say for sure at this time. We can only boldly guess that His Highness's heartache is caused by the congestion in his chest. And the poison he drank Alcohol accidentally dissolves the blood stasis, so there will be occasional vomiting of blood at the beginning, and then it will be fine."

Li Shimin suddenly became enlightened when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "What you said is very true."

Sun Simiao laughed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that when I was treating His Highness a few years ago, the grassroots were still superficial in their medical skills. If they could give a radical cure at that time, they might have been able to cure the disease long ago."

Li Jiancheng just smiled slightly, and said, "After getting the medicine king's words, it can be regarded as a solution to the knot in my heart."

Sun Simiao looked at him when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true, heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine."

Feeling vaguely that there was something in his words, Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to ask something, but finally said: "Thank you, sir, for your reminder."

The two bid farewell to Sun Simiao, and after they left Louguantai, Li Shimin rode up to catch up with Li Jiancheng, and said, "Brother, can you believe what the King of Medicine said just now?"

Li Jiancheng turned to look at him and said, "Why did the people of the world say that?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "In my opinion, elder brother's trip is only for medical treatment. He doesn't seem to care about the cause of the illness. I think he already knows it in his heart."

Li Jiancheng smiled when he heard the words, turned around, and said, "Of course I know."

Li Shimin rode his horse and walked side by side with him, and said with great interest: "Brother, would you like to reveal a thing or two?"

Li Jiancheng raised his eyes to look at him, then turned his eyes to the distance, and said with a smile: "The future is long, why rush for a moment? It should be that one day, I will teach you to know..."

Heart disease really needs heart medicine, but the time between you and me is long enough...

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but found that the other party suddenly raised the rein and stood still on the mountainside.

Following his gaze, he saw mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers, and mist like waves.

In the distance, a smear of the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the sky and the earth into a vast expanse.Just looking at it makes one's heart flutter.

"Shimin." Li Jiancheng's voice suddenly came to my ears.

Li Shimin turned his face sideways and followed the prestige.Perhaps it was because of the color of the setting sun that the silhouette of the other party was soft and quiet which was rarely seen at a glance.So he just watched fixedly, forgetting everything around him for a moment.

It wasn't until he heard that Li Jiancheng had spoken again that he came back to his senses.

Li Jiancheng was still looking into the distance, and said in his mouth: "Shimin, do you still remember that you said that you have entrusted your life to me?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Of course I remember."

"Then," Li Jiancheng withdrew his gaze, turned around on his horse, glanced back at him, and said, "Use this life of yours to guard my world for the rest of my life."

Li Shimin stared blankly at his leaving back, for a long time, suddenly understood the meaning of the other party's words, couldn't help brows with joy, and hurriedly chased after him.

——Brother, the people of the world are willing to guard this country for you, for the rest of your life, until death.

The one white and one blue figure quickly disappeared on the mountainside.Behind the two of them, the setting sun was like fire, lighting up the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

----

In October 626 AD, Li Yuan issued an edict to abdicate, Prince Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, and made Li Shimin the emperor's younger brother.The following year, it was changed to Yuan Ye'an.

"Building a successful business" and "helping the world and the people" are for "industrial security".

So far, a new prosperous Tang Dynasty will break through the shackles of history and step into a new glory.
