Chapter Ninety-Nine: Entering the Palace for Audience
Chen Zhengtai was summoned to the palace, but Li Shimin's spirit in the past few days was a little trance, and he had surgery to cure the prince, and he suddenly realized something.
This technique of bone grafting looks scary, but in fact...... In fact, it's similar to being a carpenter, the legs of the Hu table are broken, what should I do?
Take a piece of wood, a few nails, and pick it up.
You see, it's so simple, but it's ...... Behind this simplicity, there is a lot of knowledge.
Li Shimin is such a wise person, it is precisely because he is too smart that he realizes ...... It's a great technique.
Chen Zhengtai was still confused when he was invited to the Xuanzheng Palace, and when he saw that Li Shimin was burying his head in reviewing the recitals, he saluted!
Li Shimin ignored it, but continued to review, until more than an hour later, Li Shimin put aside the pen with a tired face, looked up at Chen Zhengtai, and said with a pleasant face: "I've kept you waiting, but I have to finish my official business first, so I can talk to you well, you are my disciple, I didn't wait too much, right?" ”
Chen Zhengtai couldn't say that he had any objections, so he said with a smile: "The most admirable thing about the teacher is ......"
"Nothing to admire." Li Shimin shook his head and smiled: "If you say admiration, I admire you, your bone grafting technique, I think about it again and again, and I feel more and more that there are too many mysteries in it." ”
"Oh?" Hearing Li Shimin suddenly mention this, Chen Zhengtai looked surprised.
Li Shimin stood up, went directly down to the Jinluan Palace, walked in front of Chen Zhengtai, and asked people to bring two chairs, and the two sat down, and then said to him: "Zhengtai, you see that this bone can be connected and regenerated, so if I think about it, what if it is a broken hand?" Or is it something else that is broken? I continued to ponder, if the human bones could be rejoined, if the crown prince's leg was broken, could it be replaced by someone else's leg? Human legs are like this, but what about the heart and liver? ”
The more Li Shimin spoke, the more moved he became, he stood up, paced a few steps, and said: "If this is the case, isn't it true that as long as the head is still there, then everything on the body can be continued, can I take your hands and feet and continue to connect them to my body?" ”
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he was a little confused, how could it seem that His Majesty had signs of blackening.
Of course...... Chen Zhengtai knew that Li Shimin was just making an analogy.
Li Shimin's broad-mindedness is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people, no wonder he is invincible on the battlefield and has super high attainments in politics.
Chen Zhengtai sighed from the bottom of his heart, smart people, sure enough, have infinite brains in any industry.
"Teacher, to some extent, yes, it's just ...... There are a lot of problems here, of course...... There is nothing difficult in the matter, it is just to spend time trying to find a solution. Chen Zhengtai's answer was very general!
He knows better than anyone else that using other people's hands and feet to continue to connect to his own body, and using other people's hearts and livers to treat other people, these have long been realized in later generations, but the problem is that the difficulty here is so high that it is by no means achievable in Datang.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "It seems that you also agree with me, and I just talk casually, I just think it's ...... There are too many mysteries in this surgical method. If it were to be realized, wouldn't it make people live forever? ”
At this moment, Chen Zhengtai understood what Li Shimin meant.
Longevity......
Chen Zhengtai can also understand that Li Shimin is the emperor after all, and if he is an emperor, he wants to pursue immortality, Qin Shihuang is like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is like this, and Tang Taizong is also the same, in fact, when Li Shimin was old, he began to be interested in immortality, and he began to pin his hopes on alchemy, hoping to eat the elixir of immortality.
Now Li Shimin apparently thinks...... The elixir of life is really hard to find, after all...... How many emperors in ancient times, in the end, they should die or die, those alchemy warlocks are almost all liars, Li Shimin is not ignorant of history, but the temptation is too great.
Now...... Li Shimin seems to feel that he has found a method of immortality, this method...... With his various brain holes, he actually began to spread.
Think about it, if I am old and my hands and feet are starting to become sluggish, can I continue to replace my hands and feet and make myself stronger? If my heart and liver are gradually aging, can I replace them with a new heart? Wouldn't that be ...... Can you stay young forever and live forever?
"This ......" Chen Zhengtai said with a little embarrassment: "Teacher, the student thinks ...... Birth, old age, sickness and death are ...... It's ......"
Li Shimin glared at him and said, "What are you talking about, don't you yourself say that things are man-made, how come you dare to assert that this matter can't be done when you come here?" ”
"Ah......h
Li Shimin said again: "You also said that there is nothing difficult in the matter, but I am afraid of those who have a heart." ”
"Uh......" Chen Zhengtai was very impatient, and wanted to say something more, so he opened his mouth......
I saw that Li Shimin sighed: "I don't seek longevity, I only seek longevity, you don't think that I will be deceived by warlocks like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, right?" ”
Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "No, no." ”
Li Shimin smiled again and said: "In any case, you can give it a try, your medicine is refreshing, I summoned you to come just to want to discuss this person's body with you, you see that my body is no different from ordinary people, this person's heart, liver, spleen and lungs, where are they, what functions do they have, what does the human body rely on to function, these ...... Aren't they all worth studying? I want to advocate this knowledge, but I have no choice but to let people know it, it is inevitable that those who do not know the mystery of this will think that I am delirious, how can ordinary people understand my painstaking efforts? You are my disciple, I thought ...... It is most appropriate for you to undertake my will and study it secretly, so it should be you who share my worries. “
Chen Zhengtai suddenly understood, this is the real purpose of Li Shimin to recruit him into the palace today!
However, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing! So he hurriedly said: "The student understands, and the student must do his best." ”
"It's just...... The cost of this is ......" Speaking of this, Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a smile, and the deep meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Why can't Chen Zhengtai understand? didn't hesitate, so he smiled bitterly: "Don't worry about the cost, don't worry about it, the student's family ...... There's a little bit of money. ”
"Just a little?" Li Shimin's mind began to appear in the Chen family's profit in the arithmetic book recently.
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
How do you want him to answer this question?
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Look at you, I am scared like this, I am rich all over the world, how can I covet your wealth?" Speaking of which, there are so many wealthy families in the world, they don't know how much wealth they have hidden in their families, how much land, and how many slaves and maids they have, your Chen family...... At best, it's just a new rich, it's nothing, you're my disciple, it's too late for me to protect you, how can you have a different heart? “
Chen Zhengtai immediately looked grateful and said, "Where do students dare to be suspicious. ”
Li Shimin immediately became happy, and he continued: "When you are this year...... If it weren't for the subordinates of Liangshidu who killed him and led the crowd to beg for surrender, I am afraid that at this time I would still need to fight with the Turks. I have long wanted to get out of this bad breath, but today I have suffered a locust plague, the country is short of food, and in the coming year, I don't know what the situation is, now the weather is getting colder, and there are many emergencies at the border gates, all of which are Turkic attacks on my border towns, although they are all small attacks, but I hate them deeply. ”
When Li Shimin said this, his face became solemn, and he said faintly: "Speaking of which, grain is the foundation of the country, and this time it is also thanks to you that the price of grain has been stabilized and the loss of the locust plague has been minimized. ”
Managing a country, there are so many things to worry about, but what makes Li Shimin most concerned is the problem of food, the emergence of pork, just to reduce the price of meat, but thousands of people, it is impossible to rely on pork for food, if there is not enough food, the Turks come to disturb, the Tang Dynasty can only hold back, encountered a famine, the imperial court is also unable to help, this kind of problem, are urgently need to be solved.
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said, "Has Your Majesty ever thought about increasing grain production?" ”
As a person with three views, he also hopes that everyone will have enough to eat!
"Grain?" Li Shimin said: "I haven't thought about it, so I have repeatedly issued orders to order the people of the world to open up wasteland and persuade people to revitalize agriculture." ”
Chen Zhengtai shook his head and said, "What does the student mean...... Let the grain yield of every acre of land be greatly improved. ”
"This ......" Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai with one eye, and said, "Could it be that you have any ideas?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "I don't have any ideas, I just want to try it." ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but be happy, but Chen Zhengtai was willing to try, but it was also a hope, he smiled and said: "You go and do it, if the grain production capacity is boosted by one percent, I will count it as your great achievement, but ...... It's not an easy task. ”
But Li Shimin's expression immediately became solemn, and he continued: "But if you have this heart, it is good, I know...... You are a loyal and conscientious person, and it is a secondary matter whether you succeed or not. ”
Although Li Shimin knows that Chen Zhengtai is powerful, he is not very sure about grain production, and the world is ...... There are many people who care about farming, and this is not what Chen Zhengtai is good at!
But Chen Zhengtai wants to revitalize farming, he is a son of a family, and he has this thought, which makes him feel very touched, and he can't help but think in his heart, Chen Zhengtai is thinking what I think, such a disciple really can't be found with a lantern.
To Chen Zhengtai's surprise, Li Shimin suddenly changed his words, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, the eldest grandson Wuji has always entered the palace to see me and the queen, and he is very concerned about your marriage. ”
