    Chapter 349 Li Shimin¡¯s Determination

    Chang'an, Ganlu Hall.

    Outside the palace, strong winds were blowing, thunder was rolling, and heavy rain was pouring.

    Li Shimin sat alone on the dragon chair, constantly stroking the dragon chair where he had sat for more than 20 years.

    It's time to end. It has been twenty-two years since Zhenguan. I have been the emperor for twenty-two years. Under my governance, the country of Tang Dynasty has prospered. I didn't expect that it would be like this now.  .

    Thinking back on those days when I was so talented and led the generals of Tiance Mansion to go through countless lives and deaths before conquering the great Tang Dynasty, those scenes seemed like just yesterday.

    ¡°Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is about to be ruined in my own hands?

    "I conquered this country, and I will protect it!"

    "Father, my son is here." Li Zhen walked into the hall covered in dust.  Along the way, Li Zhen finally managed to get through the cracks in the Tibetan army and returned to Chang'an.

    Subsequently, Li Shimin appointed Li Zhen to command the entire garrison of Chang'an.

    Li Zhen had been fighting at the top of the city for six days and nights, repelling wave after wave of Tibetan attacks. I don¡¯t know why Li Shimin summoned him here at this time.

    Looking at Li Zhen, Li Shimin was full of emotions. This son was the most like him, and the country of the Tang Dynasty could be prosperous later. Unfortunately, he made one mistake at a time, and actually used Li Zhi as his commander, which made the Tang Dynasty powerful.  losses, leading to today's situation.

    ¡°If I had used Li Zhen as commander when I attacked Tuyuhun, we would not be in this situation today.

    Li Shimin slowly looked in front of Li Zhen. Looking at this heroic son, Li Shimin seemed to see the hope of Datang.

    So, Li Shimin made his final determination.

    Gently taking off the imperial robe tied to his body, Li Shimin put the imperial robe on Li Zhen.

    "Father, what are you doing" Li Zhen was shocked and already understood Li Shimin's intention.

    There was a kind smile on Li Shimin's lips, and his father's care for his son was in his eyes.

    "Zhen'er, I'm old. From now on, you will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

    "No! My father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Tang Dynasty needs my father. How can my father give up the Tang Dynasty at this time? My son cannot take this throne."

    Li Shimin looked at his son with a smile, his eyes showing deep fatherly love. At this time, he was not like an emperor, but more like a loving father and an elder.

    "Zhen'er, promise me to be a good emperor. No matter what the future holds for the Tang Dynasty, you must make the Tang Dynasty stand up again and become more prosperous and powerful!"

    "Father" Li Zhen's eyes were moist. He could see that Li Shimin's words came from the bottom of his heart. The inheritance and handover of the throne was more like Li Shimin putting his hope on himself.

    "Promise me!" Li Shimin held Li Zhen's shoulders, his eyes full of hope.

    As soon as Li Zhen gritted his teeth, he knew that by agreeing to Li Shimin, he had assumed this promise and responsibility. However, for his father Li Shimin, for the Tang Dynasty, and for everyone, he had no way out and could only move forward indomitably.  Even if you die, you must persist until the end!

    "Father, I promise you!" Li Zhen hugged Li Shimin, and the father and son hugged each other and cried.

    After a long while, Li Shimin said to Li Zhen: "Zhen'er, now you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty cannot live without you. In a moment, you will lead your troops out of the east gate and go to Luoyang. Then set up a court and fight the Tibetans to the end."  !Promise me that even if there is only one person left in the Tang Dynasty, you will never surrender to the foreign barbarians!"

    "Then Father, you"

    "This is the country I conquered, and this Chang'an is my Chang'an! I will not leave, I will live and die with Chang'an!"

    "No! Father, you go and I stay!" Li Zhen was anxious.

    Li Shimin held Li Zhen's shoulders, his eyes were full of determination, he looked at Li Zhen with his bright eyes, and said: "Listen to me! Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and my home. I can't abandon the people in this city.  When the people leave, I will be with them!"

    "You are the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You are stronger than me. The hope of the Tang Dynasty lies in you. Zhen'er, you must leave! My father must guard Chang'an and my people!"

    "Today's situation is all caused by me. I have to take responsibility for my own mistakes. If you let me leave, you might as well kill me! But Zhen'er, remember, the Tang Dynasty can live without me, Li Shimin, but it cannot live without you.  Li Zhen, you are the emperor of the great emperor and the king of all people.Hope, you must leave!  "

    "I am here to guard my country, and I will live and die with Chang'an!"

    Li Shimin¡¯s tone was very serious and could not be questioned or changed. Li Zhen could see that Li Shimin¡¯s words came completely from the heart. He placed all his hopes on himself, but he chose to sacrifice himself to become a benevolent person.

    Everyone has their own different choices in life. Li Shimin is worthy of being an emperor through the ages, and he actually chose this way to end his life. Perhaps the brilliance of fireworks only lasts a moment, but this moment will always be remembered in people's hearts and become eternity.

    Li Zhen knew that at this time, it would be superfluous to say anything more. All he had to do was to achieve Li Shimin's lifelong reputation!

    "Zhen'er, take the people out of the east gate and run to Luoyang. My father will personally wean you off."

    "Father!" Li Zhen's eyes were moist. He did not expect that at the critical moment, Li Shimin would leave the hope of life to himself and choose death.

    "Let's go quickly. I will lead my troops out of the city to meet the enemy in a while. You can take my Yulin Guards out of the east city."

    "Father"

    "Let's go!"

    Li Zhen knelt down, bowed three times to Li Shimin, gritted his teeth, and said, "Father, please rest assured, as long as my son is here, the Tang Dynasty will be here, and my son will definitely restore the great Tang Dynasty!"

    "HahahaOkay! This is my good son!" Li Shimin laughed loudly.

    Looking at Li Zhen¡¯s retreating back, Li Shimin yelled: ¡°Bring me my armor!¡±

    "Old slave obeys the order!"

    Eunuch Gao and two young eunuchs took out the Mingguang Armor that Li Shimin had stored for decades.

    Li Shimin lovingly stroked this set of Mingguang armor specially made for him.

    Twenty-two years have passed since I became the emperor, and I have never worn this armor again. Now, let it accompany me on this last journey!

    "Wear armor for me!"

    "I obey the order!" Eunuch Gao wiped his tears and began to help Li Shimin put on his armor.

    This Mingguang armor is composed of 1590 pieces of fish scale armor and 644 pieces of long strip armor. It is the first of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty.

    At that moment, Li Shimin put on a helmet with ear protection and armor. Although it had not been used for twenty-two years, the metal round guard on the back of the Mingguang Armor's chest was still smooth, like a mirror. Under the illumination of candlelight,  Reflecting golden brilliance.

    Li Shimin took over the eucalyptus bow he used when he was the king of Qin, and looked into the distance, as if he had returned to the days when he was on the battlefield.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
