Chapter 245 We miss our mother too!
Li Shimin stood there, his eyes fixed on his daughter Li Jiming, who was as caring as a little cotton-padded jacket, with all kinds of emotions intertwined and colliding with each other.
He tried his best to control himself, but his originally resolute face was now trembling slightly as he tried to suppress the sadness in his heart.
He held on like this for a long, long time, as if time had stopped at this moment, and finally he managed to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
"Aye didn't bully him, he was the one who bullied Aye, you know that, Ayuan."
Li Shimin tried hard to make his voice sound calmer, but there was still a bitterness in his words.
Li Jiming's delicate face was filled with confusion. Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, she subconsciously pouted her cherry-like mouth. Her eyes were wide open, and her clear eyes were filled with curiosity and ignorance. She asked in a delicate voice, "Really?"
That look makes people feel pity and love.
But at this time, Li Shimin had no time to appreciate his daughter's cuteness.
He was waging a difficult struggle in his heart, fearing that if he opened his mouth, the emotions that he had suppressed with great difficulty would burst out like a flood.
So he just nodded slightly, his movements were stiff and slow, and he used up all his strength.
Li Mingda walked slowly to Li Shimin with light steps. She raised her head, and her little face was full of concern.
"Aye, stop arguing with Uncle Wei. Why don't you just apologize to him and let it go?"
The sound was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell echoing in the air, but it threw a huge rock into the heart of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyes widened instantly, his eyes full of disbelief.
The tears that he had been suppressing for a long time now surged down like a torrent that broke through a dam and could not be stopped.
"Sizi, you...you want Aye to apologize?"
His voice was hoarse and broken with tears. He couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of his young daughter.
Li Mingda stretched out his tender little hand and gently wiped away Li Shimin's tears. His movements were gentle and slow.
"Yes, Aye, apologize to Uncle Wei."
She said in a baby voice, her eyes showing seriousness and persistence.
"My mother said that if you quarrel with Uncle Wei, it should be your fault."
"If you're not wrong, Uncle Wei won't argue with you."
When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned.
He slowly closed his eyes, and all the past events flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.
"Your Majesty is fortunate to have a loyal minister like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't I congratulate you?"
"Without a sage ruler, how could there be loyal ministers?"
Those gentle words of advice and those heartwarming scenes they experienced together came to him like a tide at this moment.
Although many years have passed quietly, those sounds and images are still as vivid as if they happened yesterday.
"Ah...ah...ah!"
Li Shimin finally could no longer bear the overwhelming emotions in his heart and burst into tears.
The crying was sad and desolate, echoing in the conference hall.
When the other old ministers heard Li Shimin crying, they all looked worried and hurriedly surrounded him.
"His Majesty!"
"General!"
The shouts of the crowd rose one after another, and every voice was full of concern.
Even Wei Zheng was moved by this sudden change. He stepped forward involuntarily and stretched out his hand to support Li Shimin's slightly trembling body.
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with tears in his eyes, slowly reached out and held his hand, his fingers turning slightly white due to the force.
"Wei Zheng, I was wrong. Can you accept my apology?"
His voice was weak but sincere.
Wei Zheng quickly bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "I accept this, Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not be sad and take care of yourself."
"This old minister is only speaking his mind. Now that Your Majesty has faked his death, what will happen if Your Majesty dies of old age in the future?"
"This old minister still hopes that Your Majesty can announce to the world as soon as possible that you are the Supreme Emperor."
"I am guilty of causing Your Majesty grief and sorrow."
Li Shimin, supported by Yuchi Jingde, slowly stood up, still sobbing slightly. He shook his head and said, "Wei Zheng, my sadness is not because of you, but because I am thinking of Guanyinbi."
His eyes fell gently on Li Mingda and Li Jiming, his eyes full of longing.
"I miss your mother!"
As soon as the words came out, the tears began to flow uncontrollably, sliding down the cheeks.
"Wei Zheng, every time you make me mad, I always think of Guanyin's words of advice."
"I can't help it!"
There was helplessness in Li Shimin's voice.
When everyone present heard Li Shimin mention Empress Changsun, they fell silent.
The air seemed to have frozen, leaving only Li Shimin's slight sobbing.
Wei Zheng's eyes also welled up with tears. He held Li Shimin's hand tightly and said with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, take care!"
At this moment, Li Chengqian came in from outside with Su Zhi, followed by Zhang Xianhuai, Qin Ruzhao, Qin Biwu, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others.
As soon as everyone stepped into the house, they noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Li Shimin's eyes were red and tears were still on his cheeks, while the others gathered around Li Shimin with serious expressions.
Only Li Mingda and Li Jiming ran towards Li Chengqian, with tears on their little faces.
"Brother Royal, Brother Royal."
They ran and shouted, and when they reached Li Chengqian, one of them hugged one of his thighs and burst into tears again.
"Brother, we miss our mother too!"
