Chapter 416 24 Heroes
Even if the two men protested their innocence, it would be of no use. They said that the crime had not happened yet and they could not be punished, but Li Shimin would not listen.
It didn’t happen because a fairy told him the truth in advance. What would happen if it really happened?

"From now on, Senior Li Jing, you should also close the door and refuse to see any guests.
In 637 AD, Senior Li Jing was conferred the title of Duke of Weiguo by Li Shimin.
In 640 AD, your wife, Li Jing, passed away. Li Shimin issued an edict to build the mausoleum into the shape of Tieshan and Tuyuhun to commend your military achievements.
In 643 AD, Li Shimin ordered people to paint a picture of twenty-four heroes and hang it in the Lingyan Pavilion of Taiji Palace, and you, Senior Li Jing, are among them, ranking eighth!
It was also in this year that Crown Prince Li Chengqian rebelled, and your son, Senior Li Jing, was implicated and exiled to Lingnan because of his good relationship with the crown prince.
Later, Li Shimin changed it to Wu County in recognition of the contribution of Senior Li Jing.
In 644 AD, Senior Li Jing's health had deteriorated, and Li Shimin came to your house to see you in person.
Later, Li Shimin planned to personally lead an expedition to Goryeo, so he summoned you, Senior Li Jing. Senior Li Jing also said that although you are old, you can still go to the battlefield.
However, Li Shimin did not agree.
In 649 AD, the rd year of the Zhenguan reign, your condition worsened. Li Shimin, who was also seriously ill at the time, came to visit you in person at your bedside. When he learned that you were critically ill, he cried bitterly.
In May of the same year, Mr. Li Jing passed away at the age of seventy-nine.
Senior Li Jing, your deeds end here," Li Wu sighed.
Li Jing smiled and said, "Living to over seventy is not bad, it is considered a long life. Alas, it is a pity that you are old and sick and can no longer go to the battlefield. It is such a pity."
"Oh, Senior Li Jing, please don't say that. Now that we are old, we should enjoy ourselves," Li Wu could only say this, as he also knew that military generals could not sit idle.
Li Jing just nodded, but no one knew what he was thinking.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang: Li Shimin felt very upset when he heard that his son Cheng Qian had rebelled again.
"Bi Guanyin, you must not leave me again this time," Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun with red eyes.
"Erlang, now that we have the medicine given by the immortal, everything will be fine. We must also discipline the children well," Empress Changsun's eyes also turned red. These were all the children she had carried for ten months and gave birth to, and there was not a single one that she didn't love.
Knowing the future fate of her children, Empress Changsun was sad and naturally wanted to change things.
Li Shimin also nodded, and the ministers did not speak. At least they were satisfied with the prince now, and His Majesty could not bear it. So what if they were not satisfied?
Can Your Majesty depose Crown Prince Li Chengqian?
What they are more concerned about now is who these twenty-four heroes are?
It is crucial whether they are in there or not. If they are in there, it shows their status in His Majesty's heart.
Li Shimin only felt that there were many pairs of eyes looking at him. He turned around and met the eyes of the ministers. They were looking at him with sparkling eyes as if they were seeing some meat.
Li Shimin couldn't help but take a step back, a little confused. What was wrong with these ministers? Why were they looking at him like that? Li Shimin had no idea how many thoughts were going through his mind.
"Your Majesty, who do you think these twenty-four heroes are?" Yuchi Gong asked, his eyes sparkling, as if asking whether I am among them.
Li Shimin was silent. How could he know this? It was still too early to talk about the twenty-four heroes now. What would happen in the future could only be known later.
"Ahem," Li Shimin coughed twice and waved his hands, "I don't know about this. You are all my good subjects. The Twenty-Four Meritorious Officials were not created until my later years, so I don't know about them now!"
Seeing Li Shimin say this, the ministers were a little disappointed, but they did not ask any further questions. His Majesty was just playing tricks on them.
Empress Chang Sun couldn't help but laugh.
So the ministers asked about the twenty-four heroes in the barrage. They wanted to know and couldn't wait any longer.
Li Shimin was so confused that he forgot about the barrage. Never mind. He was actually quite curious about who were the people who were included in this picture of heroes.
Many people in the barrage also answered this question, and when the ministers of the previous dynasties knew that this existed, they all looked at their emperors and said they wanted it too!
The emperors couldn't stand being watched anymore, so they waved their hands and said, "It's just a picture of a meritorious official, so let's do it!"
There is no need for twenty-four pictures, they can make many pictures!
It's good to appease these ministers!

"It's all said. Let's eat something and drink some wine. We'll set off soon. I thought of a few places. Haha, it's my own idea to go there," Li Wu covered his face, wondering if it would be too childish in front of the seniors.
"Since the little immortal wants to go, then go. We can go anywhere," Bai Qi waved his hand indifferently. They can go anywhere. They will go wherever the little immortal is willing to take them. They are not picky.
"As Senior Bai Qi said, we can go anywhere," Han Xin and Li Jing also said.
It doesn’t matter where you go, what matters is the transaction!
Hehe, this is what they value most.
"Okay, there's a new aquarium opening recently, and I want to go join in the fun. Well, there's also an Ice and Snow World, I'd like to go there as well. Hehe, I heard it can snow in there. I haven't seen snow in years. I'm so looking forward to it," Li Wu's eyes lit up when he mentioned snow.
It was snowing. She had seen it when she was very young. The snow was very heavy and she could even build a big snowman.
But I haven't seen snow since then. I can only see snow in other places in videos. Even in the middle of winter, when it snows in other places, it's sunny where I am, and it doesn't feel like winter at all.
The three people and everyone in front of the sky were dumbfounded. It’s snowing?
What’s so good about snow? It snows every winter. It’s so cold that many people are frozen to death.
No one could understand why the little fairy liked snow. Could it be that he had never seen snow before?
That's impossible. The little fairy is from Qianzhong, and it also snows in Qianzhong.
"There's nothing nice about snowing. It's cold, wet, and hard to walk on. It's all white, and you have to sweep the snow. It doesn't look good," Bai Qi waved his hand. Besides, if you walk for a long time, your shoes and socks will easily get wet, and your feet will get cold!
"Little immortal, you haven't seen snow for many years? Is it true that it never snows in winter in your place?" Han Xin asked doubtfully. It was too strange that there were places where it didn't snow in winter.
Li Wu nodded. "Because of global warming, it rarely snows in many places. Of course, there is still heavy snow every year in the north, but it doesn't snow in many places in the south. This is all due to climate issues."
The three of them looked at each other. It doesn’t snow in the south?
It would be great if it didn’t snow in winter, so many people wouldn’t have frozen to death.
The southerners in front of the sky were even more envious. They were also southerners, so they knew why it snowed every year and was freezing cold.
