Chapter 238 Li Shimin Can't Fall Asleep



Empress Changsun's words helped the other three people to come to their senses.

Indeed, the situation is right in front of us and there is no point in panicking.

I have overcome several crises that almost brought me death, but the current situation is too terrifying, so I feel dazed and at a loss.

"I am a man, but I can't see things as clearly as Guanyin." Li Shimin laughed at himself.

"How can I compare to your majesty? Your majesty cares about the world and has many things on his mind, while I only have your majesty in my heart." Empress Changsun smiled slightly and looked at Li Shimin. "No matter how far it goes, I will face it together with your majesty."

This is indeed the reason why Empress Changsun was the first one to remain calm.

Unlike Li Shimin, who valued power, status and reputation.

In the eyes of Empress Chang Sun, the worst that could happen was the death of Li Shimin.

She had made such preparations as early as the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

"Guanyin Maid"

Li Shimin's expression was quite moved.

He naturally understood what his wife meant.

"Your Majesty and the Empress have a deep bond and friendship, which makes us envious." Changsun Wuji raised his hand, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should send someone to Luoyang to investigate the Xie Mansion and ask in detail. We should find out not only about the immortals, but also about the ghosts."

"That makes sense." Li Shimin nodded.

Before, I was only paying attention to the immortals, but after Changsun Wuji’s reminder, I realized that ghosts are also very important.

Look at what the intelligence says.

This ghost was Xie Gan’s concubine, who was pregnant. Because she made some minor mistakes, Xie Gan ordered her to be beaten to death. After her death, she turned into an evil ghost and killed dozens of people, including Xie Gan’s wife, in just two days.

If this is true, then doesn't it mean that the rest of the people are also likely to become ghosts? Li Shimin's eyes were filled with fear.

There were more than hundreds of people who died at his hands directly or indirectly, especially those two. When I think of this.

Li Shimin's heart actually beat violently a few times.

This matter must be made clear, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well.

"In your opinion, who should be sent?" Li Shimin looked at the two people in front of him.

The one he trusted most was one of these two, and according to his intention, he would send one of them.

Changsun Wuji saw what Li Shimin was thinking.

He trembled slightly and actually retreated a little.

He has never believed in ghosts and gods, which is also related to the fact that he acts rather cunningly. But precisely because he does not respect ghosts and gods in his daily life, when there is a possibility of evil ghosts appearing, he becomes even more frightened.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling took the initiative to speak out:

"Your Majesty, I will go there."

"Okay, I can rest assured that Lord Fang will go." Li Shimin nodded, "Come here, prepare the horses."

Fang Xuanling was not just a civil official. In his early years, he followed Li Shimin in his battles and was also very brave.

And Li Shimin did not intend to let Changsun Wuji sit idle.

He was directly ordered to send people to those places where immortal deeds had occurred to investigate thoroughly.

After some arrangements, Li Shimin finally felt a little relieved.

He went back to the palace with Empress Changsun to rest.

However, the worry between his brows could not be dispelled at all.

The information tonight is really too shocking.

If there really is an immortal, and this immortal is dissatisfied with him, he really has no confidence in dealing with such an existence. Let alone anything else, it is just a bolt of lightning. Even if there are thousands of troops and many top powerhouses guarding, it will be of no use at all.

And there are ghosts.

Even before getting ready to go to bed, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask the old eunuch a question.

"Has anyone died in this palace recently?"

"Your Majesty," the old eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully, "Four days ago, a young eunuch was punished with twenty sticks for his poor performance. However, he was unable to survive the cold weather and has long been buried."

“.”

Li Shimin's expression twitched suddenly.

Beat to death?

The concubine of the Xie family was also beaten to death.

"Pass the order down. From now on, all punishments in the palace must not result in any killing. Do you understand?" Li Shimin emphasized his tone at the end.

"Yes!" the old eunuch responded quickly.

However, Li Shimin still couldn't sleep that night.

Just close your eyes.

While he was in a daze, there were evil spirits demanding his life, and immortals scolding him. By the second day, he had big dark circles under his eyes and looked extremely bad.

And this scene.

Shen Yi saw all of this.

"It seems that this emperor is not much different from the history of other worlds." Shen Yi said with a smile.

He has not committed any great evil, nor can he claim to be a sage king.

"Part of the reason is that he feels guilty." Ding Xiang's shadow appeared beside Shen Yi. "Based on his micro-expressions, he still cares a lot about killing his brother."

"This is immoral in this era." Shen Yi was not surprised.

It is not uncommon for princes to kill each other for the throne, but the moral concept of this world also emphasizes the unity of the people.

Even after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin often dreamed that the ghosts of Li Jiancheng and Li Jiyuan wanted to harm him.

And now I have heard several "ghost stories".

It would be strange if I could sleep well.

"Captain, when do you plan to contact him?" Ding Xiang looked at Shen Yi with some curiosity in her eyes.

Now Li Shimin has already known the rumors about immortals and ghosts.

And with Shen Yi's strength.

As long as he descends from the sky, he can show off one or two skills in front of all the officials and even the common people.

You can already control the situation.

Shen Yi thought for a while, but shook his head.

"Let's wait a little longer until the legends of immortals and ghosts spread further among the people. It would be best if we wait until ghosts appear in Chang'an. To some extent, the horror of ghosts will highlight our status."

This applies to all doomsday worlds.

It is like only when the devil is rampant, the value and status of the hero are the highest. Similarly, only at the end of the world, the savior who represents the only hope will be above everything else.

And in this world.

The terror of ghosts and monsters brings about the supreme status of immortals.

You must first take the initiative before you can do the next thing.

"But it depends a bit on luck." Ding Xiang said, "Based on the existing examples, I built a probability model for the appearance of ghosts and found that there are still certain conditions that can change the probability of the appearance of ghosts. For example, the time of death of the deceased is close to the coldest time of the day, and the deceased often dies with strong resentment, etc. Only when these conditions are met, there is a greater probability of ghosts appearing."
