Chapter 775: Revisiting the Prince (1)
Li Ye was about to go in to see Concubine Li, but Queen Liu Chenyan didn't follow. He stopped and looked at the other party suspiciously, "Yan'er, why don't you leave?" ”
Liu Chenyan saluted slightly, "Your Majesty, the concubine still won't go in at this time." ”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, understood what the other party was worried about, his face sank, and he muttered for a while, "Then you just wait outside!" ”
Liu Chenyan nodded and did not go in with him, while Li Ye quickly came to the inner hall.
At this time, the inner hall was crowded with eunuchs and palace maids, not to mention those imperial doctors.
In addition, Sun Mei's cousin Sun Ying'er, the second prince Li Zhen and the eldest princess are also there.
Sun Mei is seriously ill, Sun Ye naturally knows, but it is still a little inconvenient for the foreign minister to enter the harem, and he doesn't want Sun Ye to get involved in this matter and complicate things.
"Your Majesty (Father)!"
As soon as Li Ye came in, Sun Ying'er, the second prince Li Zhen, the eldest princess, and a group of imperial doctors, palace maids, and eunuchs saluted one after another. With a wave of his hand, he came to the bedside, looking at Sun Mei, who was pale and bloodless, and felt a little distressed.
"Mei'er, how are you?" Li Ye held Sun Mei's hands and said with concern.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I'm afraid the concubine won't be able to. Sun Mei spat out a few words with difficulty.
"Mei'er, don't worry, I will heal you, if you die, I will let those quacks bury you." Li Ye said anxiously.
He really didn't know what he said, but those imperial doctors were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, young and old.
"The Imperial Doctor's order, get over to me immediately!" Li Ye yelled behind him.
Soon, an official in his fifties who was kneeling on the ground and wearing a cyan official robe quickly got up, ran in front of Li Ye, and bowed, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”
"Is there any other way to prolong Concubine Li's life?" Li Ye said in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is a way, but the ministers dare not call the shots." The Imperial Physician hurriedly replied.
"What's the solution?"
"With a strong potion. But Concubine Li's body is weak, and if she uses strong medicine in her current situation, it is very likely that her body will be overdrawn.
Concubine Li's body is expensive, and the ministers dare not make decisions without authorization, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision. "The order of the Imperial Physician Department has also been released, if there is no way at all, it may be a catastrophe for the Imperial Physician Department.
"Fierce medicine?"
Li Ye glanced at Concubine Li, who was in a state of malaise, hesitated a little, and hurriedly beckoned the Imperial Physician to step aside, and said in a low voice, "Answer my question truthfully, how long can Concubine Li last in her current condition?" ”
The Imperial Physician's body trembled, and he said in a low voice, "Back to Your Majesty, according to the results of the joint diagnosis of many doctors and physicians in the four departments of the Imperial Physician's Department, it will take three or four days at most. If you use fierce medicine, you can last for ten days and a half for more than ten days, and if you use fierce medicine, you can 。。。。。 on the spot ”
"I see." Li Ye's expression froze, "Let the Imperial Medical Department block the news, and you can't disclose this situation." If someone in the Imperial Doctor's Department leaks the news, I will dismiss you from your post and send you to the border. ”
The Imperial Physician's Office was frightened, and hurriedly assured, "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will definitely let the Imperial Physician's Department strictly abide by this matter." ”
"Also, go to the folk to find Langzhong with superb medical skills." Li Ye admonished.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best."
In the next two days, Lang Zhong continued to dress up and enter Daming Palace, all of whom were Lang Zhong with good medical skills in Jingzhao Mansion.
Even the Taoist priests on Zhongnan Mountain who knew how to treat medicine were invited into the palace to treat Concubine Li's Sun Mei.
But the results of these people were not very good, and a group of people argued endlessly in the Imperial Doctor's Department, but they just couldn't find a cure that could turn the tide.
In the past two days, Li Ye's mood has also become more irritable, and with many Lang Zhong and Taoist priests entering the palace, officials of the court and the central government have also guessed that something has happened in the harem, and it is very likely that a favored concubine is sick, and it is very serious.
But Li Ye gave an order, whoever dares to spread the news indiscriminately will be killed directly. Therefore, except for the cabinet members and important members of the clan who know the specific reason, everyone else does not know who is sick, and there are all kinds of speculations.
Although the Holy Lord has not dealt with the government in the past few days, with the cabinet here, it does not have much impact.
。。。。。。
"Your Majesty, the minister dared to ask, is it difficult to treat Concubine Li."
On this day, taking advantage of the rest, Li Zhen found Li Ye, retired from the idle people and asked boldly.
"Presumptuous! Li Zhen, when will it be your turn to ask about the affairs of my harem? Li Ye was suddenly angry and scolded.
"Your Majesty, there is no trivial matter in the royal affairs, and the matter of Concubine Li is not a trivial matter, it is already an important matter related to the overall situation of the court. As a member of the Cabinet, the minister naturally asked questions and expounded his views. In the face of the scolding of the saint, Li Zhen did not flinch, and even looked directly at the other party.
"Okay, Li Zhen, you have been serving in the local government for many years, and your courage is getting bigger and bigger." After Li Ye finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Li Zhen didn't leave, but hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty is hesitating about the prince?" ”
Hearing this, Li Ye's footsteps immediately stopped, and then he glanced back at Li Zhen and did not speak.
Li Zhen confirmed his guess in his heart, "It seems that the minister did not guess wrong." It stands to reason that His Majesty should have made a decision in his heart about the matter of the prince, why is he hesitating now?
If the minister guessed correctly, it should be Concubine Li's mother who feels that she may not be alive for a long time, just like His Majesty's request to appoint the second prince as the prince.
His Majesty is very affectionate, and he can't bear to hurt Concubine Li's heart at this time, so he hesitates. ”
Li Ye glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, "Do you know that being too smart can sometimes cause trouble?" ”
Li Zhen said indifferently, "In this matter, the minister is a little inappropriate, but the minister's loyalty to His Majesty is also unquestionable."
The minister has no power in the army, and there is no huge family behind him, so he will not threaten the society. Moreover, there are many ministers who are older and must have passed away before Your Majesty, so why does Your Majesty need to worry that your Majesty will have different intentions? ”
Hearing Li Zhen's heart-wrenching words, the anger on Li Ye's face suddenly dissipated a lot, and instead showed a smile.
"You've seen it quite thoroughly." Li Ye glanced at the other party, and the smile on his face was put away, "You're right, Concubine Li did mention this matter to me vaguely, which is also something I'm a little worried about."
You'er and You'er were born too closely, and Concubine Li's mother also had some ideas, so it gave me such a headache. ”
"Your Majesty, this matter shouldn't give Your Majesty a headache. Sun Shangshu has not entered the cabinet all these years, isn't it because His Majesty is worried that Concubine Li's maternal clan is too powerful?
The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the birth of the queen, whether it is the eldest son or the heir, the eldest prince is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Although the minister has served in the local government for many years and does not know much about the two princes, he has also heard the words of the eldest prince who is benevolent and the second prince who is smart.
His Majesty is the male lord of the generation of Zhongxing Datang, and the minister also knows that the saint has always wanted to restore the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
After His Majesty, the minister thought that a benevolent and well-kept monarch might be more suitable for the Tang Dynasty.
However, all the princes are still young, who is the most suitable, Your Majesty has a shot in his heart, and the minister will not comment too much.
But there is one thing, even if His Majesty doesn't like to hear it, the minister has to talk about it. After Your Majesty, a too smart emperor may not be a good thing for Datang.
Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty was stronger than his brother Yang Yong in terms of ability, but he was too clever and defeated the former Sui Dynasty. This is a good example.
Moreover, the eldest prince is the eldest son, and he is appointed as the prince, which is justified, and the most dissatisfied are Concubine Li's mother's family; Establish a second prince, and the problem will be really serious.
At present, there is nothing inappropriate about the eldest prince, and the minister's suggestion is that His Majesty does not need to bother with this matter.
If Your Majesty doesn't want to make Concubine Li sad because of this matter, the minister has a way to help Your Majesty, but I just hope that Your Majesty can reward more money afterwards. Li Zhen said cheekily.
Li Ye looked at Li Zhen incredulously and felt a little funny, "What are you talking like?" And any of his courtiers took the initiative to ask the king for a reward? ”
"Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth. When the minister was in Shannan East Road and Qilu Road, he had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and even if he received some gifts, he didn't have many gifts.
Chang'an is different, the expenses are too great, and the ministers regret returning to Chang'an. Li Zhen cried poorly.
Li Ye couldn't cry or laugh, "Do you still want to have a face?" You're a secretary, and you're still short of this money? ”
"Your Majesty, the officials are related to the country, and the ministers don't dare to come nonsense." Li Zhenyi said rhetorically.
"I'm scared of you." When he met a scoundrel, Li Ye was also very depressed, "If you want to reward it, you can do it well." ”
Although I don't know how Li Zhen will help him, with Li Zhen's cleverness, he won't mess things up.
