The news about Li Shimin's dying is of great importance, and it is impossible for Li Yuanchang and Chai Lingwu to cause trouble in the court. Before everything is settled, and before Li Ke returns to Chang'an, this news cannot be leaked.

When Li Ke heard the news, he ordered Xi Junmai to take charge of the overall situation in the camp, while he himself led Gaokan and a group of Wei to lead him, and all the prime ministers and officials in the court went to Kunmingchi.

Li Ke was still martial and often came to Kunming Pond to hunt, so Li Ke was very familiar with the terrain of Kunming Pond. The southwest navy that Xinwei said was not far from the southwest dwarf field. Li Ke knew this place. It was only six or seven miles away from the camp. Li Ke and everyone rode their horses away, and it was only a short time of incense.

As the person who sent the letter said, when Li Ke arrived, on the dwarf field southwest of Kunming Lake, the close guards who were hunting by Li Shimin had already surrounded the dwarf field into a barrier and protected Li Shimin in the middle. After seeing Li Ke arrive, he retreated from the middle and let Li Ke enter.

As soon as Li Ke entered, he saw Li Shimin lying under the tree not far away, and hurried over.

At this time, Li Shimin's condition was much worse than before. Li Shimin's eyes were dissipated and his face was ashamed. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was Li Shimin's last time.

"Father..." Li Ke looked at Li Shimin's appearance and felt aching. On the short steps ahead of Li Shimin, Li Ke's tears were unconsciously pouring out from the corners of his eyes.

"The tiger's head is here." Li Shimin leaned against the tree, grabbed Li Ke's hand, and whispered to Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "Father, Ke'er is late."

Li Shimin smiled in dismay, raised his hand with difficulty, wiped away Li Ke's tears, and said to Li Ke: "You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you will also be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. How could you cry like a child?"

In Li Shimin's impression, Li Ke never seemed to cry like he saw. Even when he was a teenager, Li Ke never cried, but now he cried like this.

Li Ke said: "My son is feeling uncomfortable when he sees his father's body, but he cannot suffer on behalf of his father. My son is ashamed of being a son."

Li Shimin said: "All ordinary people will die once in the world. Qin Emperor and Han Wu will die, and father will die naturally. Just be more open-minded."

Li Ke grabbed Li Shimin's hand and said, "Father is the emperor of the ages and is the heaven. If the father goes, the sky of the Tang Dynasty will collapse. How can the sons not feel uncomfortable?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It is true that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and it is true that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not only be for his father, but he will no longer be with his father. Isn't you still there? You are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. After becoming a father, you will support the heaven of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ke was the crown prince who surrendered to the hearts of all people in the court and the country. He was blameless in terms of fame and achievements. Once Li Shimin died, it was undoubtedly true that Li Ke succeeded to the throne.

Li Shimin knew that there was not much time left, and he had a lot to explain to Li Ke, but Li Shimin knew that there were more important things to arrange now, that is, the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at the ministers, and asked, "Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cen Wenben, where is Yang Shidao?"

The few people Li Shimin called, Fang Du was the left and right servants who were in charge of the Shangshu Province, Cen Wenben was the Zhongshu Province, and Yang Shidao was the Shizhong who was appointed as prime minister after Wei Zheng, and they were all prime ministers in the court.

After hearing Li Shimin's summons, four prime ministers in charge of the three provinces hurried forward and came to Li Shimin.

Li Ke looked at the four people, laughed, and whispered: "You are the prime minister, you have been assisting me for many years. We have been the king and minister for so many years. But this time, I am afraid that you will leave first."

Li Shimin has been infected for more than a year. Li Shimin has always known his body, so he is mentally prepared for his day. When he feels that he is exhausted and when this day has arrived, he is not too sad, but is a little more open-minded and has a smile on his face.

Li Shimin was able to face life and death with a smile, but it was difficult for these prime ministers to do so, especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who had followed Li Shimin at the beginning, their eyes were already red and swollen.

Fang Xuanling said: "This minister is incompetent and has not been able to find a good cure for Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You are the prime ministers, you are the prime ministers, you are not yourselves. The way of medicine and stone is not yours, so why do you blame yourself? Now I will issue the last imperial edict to you, and you will listen."

"Listen with me." After hearing this, several prime ministers bowed down and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said, "I am the descendant of my life, and the new king will succeed to the throne. Everything is waiting for development. You must not slacken. Assist the new king as you treat me, do you understand?"

"I will follow Your Majesty's order and do my best to assist the prince." After hearing this, the four of them immediately responded.

There was no suspense about Li Ke's succession, but when Li Shimin said this from his mouth and several prime ministers received the order, the matter was completely finalized.

Although Li Shimin's words were not very necessary, after Li Shimin finished giving them, he felt much more at ease.

Li Shimin and the prime ministers gave a few more words, and then Li Shimin took Li Ke's hand and said to Li Ke: "Tiger head, I worked hard for my father, and founded the country with martial arts. After a hundred battles, I have been governing the country for twenty years. It can be considered a prosperous era. From now on, the Tang Dynasty will be left to you. I hope you can continue the past and live up to your father's entrustedness."

Li Ke quickly responded: "What the father did is a model of emperors throughout the ages. Don't worry, the son must follow the wishes of the father and be more effective than the father. Our father and son are in love with each other and create a prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I have always been at ease with you when you do things, but for your father there are some things to give to you, so listen carefully."

Li Ke said: "Father, I only care about the explanation, and I will keep it in mind."

Li Shimin leaned against Li Ke's ear and whispered: "The way of imperial destruction of ministers requires civil and military affairs. In my Tang Dynasty, there are many humble gentlemen among civil and ministers. You can rely on them. You don't have to worry. Among military officials, although you are from a military background and have a high prestige, you will inevitably be proud of your achievements. If you can use these people, you can use them, and if you can't use them, you don't have to worry about the kindness you left for your father."

Fang Xuanling, the four prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, was loyal and never greedy for power for twenty years. Li Shimin was absolutely trusted. Li Ke was saved by Du Ruhui, and Du Ruhui would not let Li Ke down. As for Cen Wenben and Yang Shidao, one of them was Li Ke's mentor, and the other was the relatives of the descendants, which was even more reliable. These were things that Li Shimin had never worried about.

But among the military generals, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling a little uneasy because of Hou Junji and Xue Wanche's affairs. Fortunately, Li Ke has a high prestige in the army and is not afraid of anything else, so Li Shimin only told Li Ke and felt relieved.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Shimin said, and suddenly there was a violent cough, followed by a sudden ups and downs in his chest, as if he was unable to breathe. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it.

"Father, Father." Li Ke slowly helped Li Shimin up with one hand, gently stroked Li Shimin's chest with the other hand, and called Li Shimin to him.

Li Shimin is obviously powerless to reply to Li Ke's words. When Li Shimin was dying, he lay in Li Ke's arms, slowly tilted his head, and looked south, as if he was looking forward to something.

Although Li Shimin didn't say anything, Li Ke knew what Li Shimin meant. Li Ke valued brotherly feelings and treated his brothers well. Li Shimin never doubted that Li Shimin was worried about when he was dying. Li Chengqian, who was in Qianzhou to the south.

Li Ke said: "Don't worry, Father, Ke'er immediately ordered someone to take his brother back to Beijing and re-appoint his title. At that time, our brothers must be neatly arranged in front of the father's spirit."
