Chapter 678

All the royal families were severely punished and Li Shengtian spent all his last bit of strength. The old king fainted. All the imperial doctors tried their best to rescue him and used up all kinds of medicines. Three days later, Li Shengtian finally woke up again, but he could no longer speak, so he could only point at the table with his fingers.

Li Congde hurried over and picked up an exquisite turquoise-inlaid box from the table with tears in his eyes.

Li Shengtian moved his chin slightly, expressed his affirmation, and then fell into a coma again... Two days later, the King of Dabao Khotan, Li Shengtian, died...

It is hard to imagine that a king's death could make so many people feel sad from the bottom of their hearts. In the city of Khotan, men, women, young and old, all wore white belts without any requirements. Everyone consciously put away the red lantern guise on the street and changed to plain white ones.

The people knelt at home, cried and prayed silently on the ground.

I wish His Majesty the King to ascend to heaven as soon as possible.

The two little princesses cried so hard that they almost never stopped. The clothes on their chests were wet.

Grandfather left, and the sky in Yutian collapsed!

"No one will protect us anymore, and no one will take everyone to fight against the Black Khan Kingdom!" The little princess hugged her sister's neck and asked sadly, "Is it, is it? Are we all dead?"

The eldest princess' heart seemed to be poked, and she clenched her lips, "No, we won't! Grandpa is gone, we will protect ourselves!" She wiped her tears hard, remembering that the men, women, young and old in Khotan are soldiers. If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, everyone will die together and be a dignified and upright person!

Not that desperate at the moment, the eldest princess wiped the tears from her face hard.

She pulled her sister, rushed straight out, and found Brother Guo Xing.

"I want a knife!" The eldest princess was particularly serious.

The little princess leaned her head and said timidly: "Those are two!"

Brother Guo Xing was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled, "I thought you would go and bless Master Buddha!"

Too straight man, Brother Guo Xing, you don’t know how much you hate when you speak like this! Both princesses want to tear you apart!

The young man didn't care about the princess' anger, so he ran in. After a while, he took out two small muskets and stuffed them to the two sisters.

"Girls, don't play with guns. This is my latest musket. There are only two in the world, which are very precious." Brother Guo Xing called them to the shooting range of the workshop.

Speaking of weapons, Brother Guo Xing finally opened up, "The last time I returned to Beijing from Hanzhong, I encountered assassination. Many of the brothers who returned to Beijing with me died tragically. Since then, I have been thinking about creating a firearm with a very high speed. Even if I fight against the masses, I don't have to be afraid. Look, this is my result!"

As Brother Guo Xing said, he pulled the trigger. With a bang, a projectile had been shot out. He did not stop to load, but continued to pull the trigger. He hit six shots in a row before he stopped smiling, raised the gun in his hand, and said proudly at the two little princesses: "How is it, isn't it good?"

The two little princesses stared at the target about five feet inch, with bullet holes on it being half an inch deep. If this falls on a person, it will definitely kill people, either die or be injured!

With excitement, the eldest princess held the gun in her hand, gently stroked the barrel of the remaining heat at her fingertips, and looked at the wheel with six grooves. It turned out that this was the mystery of continuous sh è strikes!

"Your Highness, you are so smart!" the eldest princess couldn't help but praise.

Brother Guo Xing scratched his head, "It's still a long way to go. The cost of these two guns is too high. I'm still thinking of a way. If the cost is reduced and thousands of people are equipped with muskets, no matter how many people are, they will not be able to conquer Yutian!"

When saying this, Brother Guo Xing was full of confidence, and the boy was like a little sun shining with light.

The two little princesses seemed to have some understanding. Grandpa really found a good son-in-law who they could rely on, and also found hope for Yutian... Holding the musket in their hands, their tears could not be stopped...

"Damn it, it's so damn!"

Zhao Er and his men returned to Yutian in a hurry.

"What's wrong with you?"

As soon as they met, Ye Zhong grabbed his chest and almost lifted him up.

"I interrogated Yuchilang and his son, and they said you were dead!"

"You're dead!" Zhao Er said bluntly: "Those two stupid guys got fake news... If I hadn't said that I was dead, how could you catch them and how could you dig out the biggest borer in Khotan?"

Zhao Er asked with righteousness and Ye Zhong had nothing to say. Indeed, Zhao Er pretended to die, which had an effect. But because of this, Li Shengtian died. Although it was not Zhao Er's intention, it was at least not related!

"You are still guilty!"

Zhao Er rarely did not refute and begged: "Put me down and ask me to go and put a stick of incense for him first, and then write an urgent report to my master to apologize!"

Zhao Kuangyi, who had always been insidious and ruthless, knelt in front of Li Shengtian's coffin, with white banners flying everywhere, and cried... He never thought that he would cry for a person he had known for a while, but when he came out of the mourning hall, his eyes were already red!

Oh my God!

You are so ruthless!

Li Shengtian faced pressure from all directions since he succeeded to the throne. He struggled to maintain his difficulties and sent envoys to the Central Plains. Even if the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and even if the world was in chaos, the emperor was like a lantern, and he did not give up his loyalty.

After waiting hard and waiting, finally, the Great Zhou had the strength to help Khotan, and their situation could be changed.

The old king left without having time to enjoy the peace.

If you die before you succeed, even if you are heartless, you will be heartbroken at this moment!

It was half a month later that Ye Hua received the news that Li Shengtian had passed away.

"How could this happen, how could this happen?"

Ye Hua frowned. To be honest, in his heart, there were very limited people who admired him. Li Shengtian, who had been fighting hard in the Western Regions for decades and retained a little bit of Han incense, was definitely one of the best.

Ye Hua even thought about drinking and talking to the old king and talking all over the world. What a pleasant thing it would be!

However, he actually left so suddenly.

"Li Shengtian, loyalty is comparable to the sun and the moon, and integrity is pine and bamboo." Chai Rong sighed: "Before he died, he warned the people of Khotan not to believe in inciting discord, and to be a family with Dazhou! I cannot raise troops immediately, but I feel guilty when I come to Khotan in person!"

Chai Rong pondered for a while and immediately issued an order.

Send people to Khotan to give Li Shengtian the title of honor, the great treasure of the great sage, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty... The funeral specifications are comparable to the emperor, and the name is Hanling!

In addition, Chai Rong also issued an edict to convey the news of Li Shengtian's death to the world, asking the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty to mourn the emperor in Tian to pay tribute to him.

The officials in the court looked at each other, not knowing what to do!

No matter what, Li Shengtian is just a king of Khotan, a vassal country. He was buried with the emperor's rites and held national funerals. What should he do?

Should we compare the emperors of other countries or the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

The saint is in full swing in spring and autumn, let’s demonstrate it to him first?

It's not suitable!

The cabinet convened various departments and discussed it all day, but it didn't come up with a solution.

Or? Please ask your Majesty again, what should I do?

"No need!"

Wang Pu suddenly spoke, holding a suicide note in his hand.

"This is what Li Shengtian, the Emperor of Khotan, wrote before he became ill. I will read a few paragraphs to you..." After saying that, Wang Pu's expression was solemn and slowly recited: "...Yuchi's lineage was originally a Hu people, but for hundreds of years, he inherited the Han family's education and performed the Chinese rituals, which was no different from the Central Plains. When Gu succeeded to the throne, he told the people of the country that Gu was not the emperor, but a subordinate of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and just guarded the borders and people for the Tang Dynasty... For decades, the Central Plains have changed, and the wars were frequent, and the traffic was cut off. For decades, Gu did not know that the Tang Dynasty had destroyed the country! Fortunately, thanks to the help of God, the envoy of Khotan was able to enter the Central Plains and pay homage to the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty sent more than a hundred monks to travel thousands of miles to come to Yutian. Gu talked about Buddhism with the monks of the Central Plains for three consecutive days, as if he heard the sound of nature, he was in the Pure Land..."

After reading this, everyone present was silent.

Not only did they see a scene of a long drought and a rainy rain... It was just a flash in the pan of the Later Jin Dynasty and was not worth relying on at all. It has been nearly thirty years since then.

A middle-aged man has gray hair and is old.

People are not afraid of disappointment, but they are afraid of disappointment after igniting hope!

Li Shengtian, who used to be, was so disappointed that the Later Jin could help him, but he was finally disappointed.

But even so, he still waited silently until the envoy of the Great Zhou appeared!

"I am in my twilight years and about to die. My life and death of the Yuchi clan is insignificant. I am afraid that the city will be destroyed in another year and millions of creatures in Khotan will be ruined. I cannot protect the people and protect the people, and I will die with my eyes open! The heaven is fortunate that the saints of the Central Plains will come to the world and clear the universe, and return to unity... This is the virtue of heaven. Khotan should follow the destiny of heaven and share the prosperous age. I will guard the borders of the Tang Dynasty and serve the herdsmen of the Great Zhou. After I die, the land of Khotan, millions of creatures will be entrusted to the Central Plains. Khotan will not let down the Central Plains, and the Great Zhou will not let down the Great Zhou!"

"The people of Khotan are coveted by powerful enemies, and have ulterior motives. The disaster of the country and the seeds is close to you. Those who can save Khotan are only the Central Plains. After the death of the Lone, you will have one mind and one thought, respect the emperor and loyal to the Great Zhou, and you will definitely not have two minds! If you violate the emperor and provoke the dissolution... Even if you are in the nine springs, you will still pursue your soul!"

After thinking about it, Wang Pu slowly said, "My Lords, what else do you have to say? Li Shengtian's suicide note is here, I think it is enough to make countless people ashamed!"

After he finished speaking, Prime Minister Wang Pu agreed. He pressed his thighs with both hands and pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Your Majesty said that Li Shengtian's loyalty is comparable to the sun and the moon. It is natural to be buried with the ritual of the emperor!"

The Prime Minister finally showed his courage, "Immediately, in the name of the cabinet, ordered the Ministry of Rites to issue official documents, requiring all prefectures, prefectures, counties and government offices to jointly pay tribute to the Emperor of Khotan, and there must be no mistakes!"

The other dukes also said together: "It should be like this!"
