Chapter 30 The Real Dragon Dies!

In October of the golden autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus blooms. You can see the shadow of golden laurel flowers everywhere in the palace. You can smell the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus from a distance. Take a deep breath and the fragrance will enter your lungs. It will be unforgettable for a long time.

At this moment, the night is turning cold, and the Tai Chi Hall is quiet.

"Your Majesty, you just took the medicine, you should rest for a while."

Eunuch Li looked worried, helped Tang Huang support his body when he was about to get up, and said.

"No, there are still a few notebooks that I haven't..., ahem..., need to correct."

Emperor Tang coughed while taking the cloak from Eunuch Li. Although it has not yet entered winter, Emperor Tang has already put on a large cloak, which is enough to see the weakness of Emperor Tang's body.

Eunuch Li didn't speak, but his expression showed his worry at the moment.

In addition to political discussions in the court every day, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also had to correct memorials in the Taiji Hall. Before repelling Uzang, there were not many things but after repelling Uzang, especially after repelling the Turks, countless memorials were like this Snowflakes kept coming towards Tai Chi Hall.

Who can be appointed as a border magistrate?

What to do with the spoils of war (pigs, cattle, sheep and horses).

There was even a memorial to Emperor Tang expressing his feelings about the beautiful scenery and exotic customs in the border areas. Especially after reading a long paragraph of eloquent text, Emperor Tang had to reply with a "calm heart".

How miserable!

"Ahem!"

At this moment, Emperor Tang frowned and suddenly coughed deeply.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Li looked anxious, and while gently helping Tang Huang calm down, he handed over a glass of warm water.

Generally speaking, Tang Huang would be able to stop his cough quickly by drinking warm water. However, now, Tang Huang was coughing more and more violently, as if he couldn't stop at all.

Suddenly, Eunuch Li's eyelids twitched, he noticed something, and his pupils shrank sharply.

On the quilt, which was embroidered with dragon patterns with gold thread, a trace of bright red was like a needle piercing Eunuch Li.

"Come on, come on, come on!"

In an instant,

Eunuch Li's voice echoed throughout the Tai Chi Hall.

And it didn't take long for this incident to cause huge waves in the palace, like a boulder falling into the sea.

Suddenly, people in the palace were panicked.

Although the palace seems peaceful and the princes in each palace are harmonious and friendly, everyone knows that the more harmonious there is, the more turbulent the undercurrent is underneath.

…

"Da da da!"

Hearing that Emperor Tang was ill, following the sound of hurried footsteps, a thin and tall figure quickly stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Highness."

Li Taiyi just waved his hand casually, signaled the palace maid and eunuch to stand up, and hurried to the bed where Emperor Tang was.

In front of him, Tang Huang was sitting on the bed, as if he had just taken a bowl of medicine. Eunuch Li respectfully took the medicine bowl from Tang Huang's hand.

"It's rare to see you get together on weekdays, but today is a good day, and we're all here."

Seeing Li Taiyi's figure, Emperor Tang seemed to be talking to himself and said something puzzling.

Li Taiyi was also confused at first, but the next moment, his eyes flashed, and when he saw the other people in front of Emperor Tang's bed, Li Taiyi immediately understood what Emperor Tang meant.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Taiyi's mother-in-law Dou De sat worriedly next to Emperor Tang's bed. Behind her, several concubines also had worried faces. And the most important thing is that there are several familiar figures in front of Emperor Tang's bed——

The eldest prince Li Xuantu, the second prince Li Chengyi, and the fourth prince Li Longfan all stand here.

For a moment, the air seemed to stand still.

More importantly, not only Li Taiyi, but almost everyone understood that Tang Huang's words were a mockery of the usual quarrels between everyone present, but now they came to see him because he was ill.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little weird.

"Your Majesty, all the princes have already grown up, and they still have to help His Majesty with chores on weekdays. If we have time to get together, doesn't it mean that they have not taken seriously what His Majesty has told them and are being lazy?"

Just when the atmosphere was at its most silent, a gentle and virtuous voice suddenly sounded.

According to the reputation, it was Li Taiyi's mother-in-law, Empress Dou De.

Empress Dou De was extremely favored by the Tang Emperor, and the queen passed away a few years ago. It can be said that Empress Dou De is now the highest-status person among the concubines in the harem.

Moreover, this is not a "family matter".

But with Empress Dou De's relief, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Really? You do have some intentions."

Emperor Tang did not dwell on this issue. He patted Empress Dou De's plain white catkins and said.

Although he didn't say it clearly, all the princes understood what Emperor Tang meant.

Logically speaking, this sentence was obviously addressed to the princes, but Emperor Tang did not look at the princes, not even out of the corner of his eye. Instead, he said to Empress Dou De.

It's obviously implying that I understand your little thoughts, but I won't tell you, and you sons, you can't compare to the compassion of the people around me.

"As long as my father is in good health, my sons and ministers will be happy no matter how hard or tired they are."

At this moment, Li Xuantu was the first to say respectfully, but his eyes glanced at Li Taiyi vaguely.

Empress Dou De was Li Taiyi's mother-in-law. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty doted on Li Taiyi because of Empress Dou De. Empress Dou De could ease the atmosphere with just a few words, which is enough to show her weight.

"Well, as long as you have the intention."

Emperor Tang looked at Li Xuantu and nodded, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

He has always been quite satisfied with the eldest prince.

Only Li Taiyi frowned, feeling something was wrong.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was getting older, and it was common for him to occasionally feel cold. Therefore, when Li Taiyi was summoned by the Emperor of Tang to correct memorials, he could often smell a vague aroma of medicine. During the Spring Rain Banquet before, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also fainted from drinking water. Have a cough.

But no matter how much he coughed, it was not to the point of vomiting blood, and according to Li Taiyi's memory, although Emperor Tang neglected his cultivation, he still had at least five or six years to live, and it would not be so serious.

Li Taiyi always felt that this matter was not that simple.

"Father, you have practiced regularly and are in good health. Why did you suddenly..."

Li Taiyi thought about it for a long time and finally said.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Empress Dou De with a "cough cough" sound.

Li Taiyi looked over and saw Empress Dou De shaking her head cautiously at Li Taiyi, her eyes clearly scolding Li Taiyi for not bringing up such a topic casually.

"It doesn't matter. The imperial doctor said it was a hidden disease from early years and it can be cured."

Emperor Tang patted Empress Dou De and showed that he didn't care, then he spoke to Li Taiyi.

"My son is suspicious."

Li Taiyi bowed and said no more.

And soon, as everyone finished their greetings, everyone left quickly except Empress Dou De who stayed to take care of Emperor Tang.

Outside the Taiji Hall, Li Taiyi felt a lot more solemn as he looked at the disappearing figures of the eldest prince Li Xuantu and others.

When the true dragon dies, all the disciples must fight!

Li Taiyi always felt that someone was secretly tampering with him to aggravate his father's illness and deliberately intensify the conflicts between the princes.

If it's really what he thinks, then the other party's courage is too great!

Thinking of this, a startling cold light flashed across Li Taiyi's eyes.

"Gao Lishi, contact Eunuch Li for me. In addition, find a way to get the medicine that my father usually swallows."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

…

The moon and stars were sparse, the night was deep, and the darkness was silent.

The East Palace is where the prince lives.

Thousands of Jinwu guards and countless masters overlapped to guard the entire East Palace, completely turning this place into a fortress.

On the roof of the East Palace, no one noticed that a middle-aged man in purple robe was sitting cross-legged and observing the world.

Li Xuantu has been crowned the crown prince for seven or eight years. He has many talented people and strangers under his name. This purple-robed physiognomist is one of them. He is known as Ziji Zhenren in the world. He is as powerful as Mount Tai and Beidou in the field of innate numerology. position, highly respected.

The eldest prince Li Xuantu also spent a lot of effort to invite him here and respected him very much.

Master Ziji's calculations are extremely accurate. In fact, in the past, whether it was palace battles or the northern expedition to the Turks, Master Ziji played an extremely key role in the East Palace.

It is the job of a fortune-teller to receive horoscopes at night.

Daily observations like this have become like breathing for Zhenren Ziji.

"Um?"

Suddenly, as if he felt something, Master Ziji's eyebrows jumped, and he raised his head sharply, looking into the depths of the vast night sky.

In the thick black night sky, nothing could be seen in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was completely different in the eyes of Zhenren Ziji.

Just for a moment, I saw stars one after another in the night, forming a circle like the beginning of chaos, emerging one by one, exuding a purple halo, hazy, like a Purple nebula emerges.

And if you look carefully, in the center of the five "purple" stars, a more dazzling purple star shines, which seems to give people the feeling that the light of the five "purple" stars is due to the purple star in the middle. And emitted.

The middle-aged man counted carefully, excluding the dazzling purple star in the middle, no more, no less, there were five stars all around, each occupying one side. Combined with the purple clouds around him, it really looked like a big flower was in full bloom. Purple flowers.

"Five stars protect each other, Ziwei reappears!"

Master Ziji was shaken all over, and there was a look of extreme shock in his eyes.

Almost subconsciously, his gaze moved to the right, looking at the other two stars in the sky that were emitting purple light.

The slightly larger purple star with a slightly dim light represents the current Tang Emperor who is seriously ill, while the other slightly smaller but dazzling purple star represents Li Xuantu, who has long been crowned the prince.

The Emperor of Tang was still alive and the prince was guarding the country. Why did Ziwei suddenly appear?

Moreover, that dazzling purple star is obviously not the same person as Prince Li Xuantu. Could it be that——

"The sky has changed, the sky has changed... we must report it to the prince as soon as possible!~"

Master Ziji, with a pale face, hurriedly descended from the house and headed towards the eldest prince's palace.

…

At the same time, in the palace, where the Qin Tian Prison was located, a white-haired old man in official uniform looked at the celestial phenomena in the night sky with a shocked expression, and murmured that even the ink pen in his hand fell off and was dyed black. I didn’t even know I had picked up the rice paper.

…

The rising sun was rising in the east, and when the people were still quiet and peaceful, no one knew that with the changes in the celestial phenomena, the entire Tang Dynasty also changed, and then entered a troubled period.

In three days, relying on the previous performance in Longxi, coupled with the victory at Yinshan in the north, and his usual performance, the third prince who turned back as a prodigal son finally won the true trust of Emperor Tang.

——The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty officially issued a decree, allowing the three princes to enter the court to participate in political affairs!
