Chapter 4: Visiting the Sick
"Can you do it today?" Li Chengqian asked.
"No problem!" Craftsman Road.
"Okay, go ahead! If you do it well, you will be rewarded. Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness!" The two bowed and retreated.
Li Chengqian limped out, Wang Quan immediately asked people to prepare to walk, Li Chengqian had a leg disease, and it was not convenient to walk long distances, so he took this as a substitute.
"Lang Jun, where are we going?" Wang Quan asked.
Li Chengqian looked at the East Palace in front of him, and didn't know where to go for a while.
Taiji Palace is the imperial palace built by Emperor Wen of Sui, and the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty both called Taiji Palace Daxing Palace, and it was not renamed Taiji Palace until the first year of Jingyun of Tang Ruizong.
The East Palace is located on the east side of the Taiji Palace, with a width of 832.3 meters and the same length as the wall of the Taiji Palace.
The East Palace, also known as the Spring Palace and the Reserve Palace, is the place where the princes of the Sui and Tang dynasties lived.
The most important palace in the East Palace is the Xiande Palace, which was called the Jiade Hall in the Sui Dynasty and renamed the Xiande Hall in the early Tang Dynasty.
Later, when Zhongzong Li Xian was the crown prince, he avoided his name and changed its name to Mingde Palace.
The Hall of Wisdom is the first main hall of the East Palace, and it is the place where the crown prince receives his ministers and holds major political activities.
Behind it is the Chongjiao Palace, the Lizheng Palace, the Guangtian Palace, and the Cheng'en Palace.
The East Palace, like Ouchi, is also divided into two according to the layout of the front and back bedrooms, and behind the Guangtian Hall is the place where the prince and his family live.
Li Chengqian came to the outside of the hall, sat on the step that had been prepared a long time ago, and thought about where he should go.
The two sides of the Chengen Palace are respectively Yichun Palace and Yiqiu Palace, and behind the Yichun Palace is the Yichun North Garden, which is the landscape garden of the prince to play and hunt, and it is the back garden of the East Palace in popular terms.
In the current situation, it is really not suitable to go to the back garden, and he does not like hunting or anything.
Where to go? Li Chengqian thought about the entire building of the East Palace, and Chongxian Hall came to mind.
In the East Palace, Chongxian Hall is also a very important place.
It was Li Er who established a place for the crown prince Li Chengqian to study in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, which was similar to the Hongwen Hall belonging to Menxia Province, and later became a noble school in the Tang Dynasty and a large library in the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Li Xian, the son of Gaozong, became the crown prince, and in order to avoid secrecy, he changed his name to Chongwenguan.
Where is he still in the mood to study now.
Maybe you will meet Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, and Zhang Xuansu at that time, and these three people are not good at stubble.
staring at him, the crown prince, all day long, as long as there is a slight mistake, it is a sharp comment on Li Chengqian's mistakes.
And one is more ruthless than the other, in fact, it is just to use Li Chengqian, the prince, to brush their sense of existence.
so that Li Er knows how hard they are assisting the prince.
For this reason, the prince's nursing mother, Mrs. Sui'an, once persuaded Kong Yingda, thinking that the prince was old, so he should not always accuse him in person, and save some face.
Lao Kong replied directly: "Meng Guo is kind, although he dies, he does not hate!" ”
It is a happy thing to train the prince, and if you train the prince well, you can also brush up on a wave of prestige by the way, and you will become famous and respected forever.
If the training is not good for the prince, it is the prince who is stubborn and does not listen to the teaching, what does it have to do with them.
What's more, since Li Chengqian had a leg disease, his temperament has changed greatly, and the whole person has begun to learn badly.
"Didn't you say that Father Emperor Dragon was sick? Go pay a visit. Li Chengqian said.
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian finally decided to visit Li Er, and by the way, he showed his filial piety, and tried to have a good impression in Li Er's heart.
Li Chengqian and his entourage turned to Ouchi.
"Your Highness!" The forbidden army outside the hall saw Li Chengqian appear, and hurriedly saluted.
Li Chengqian, supported by Wang Quan, stepped down and said to the forbidden army: "Father can be in the palace!" ”
"Your Majesty is in the palace to review the recitals." Qianniu Weidao.
"I heard that my father's dragon body is sick! The widow came to visit. Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll report it!" Qian Niuwei said, turned around and went inside to inform Li Er about the prince's arrival.
A moment later, Qian Niuwei came out of it, and with him came out Wang Yuan, Li Er's personal attendant.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Yuan saluted.
"Father, I would like to see me." Li Chengqian asked.
"Let Your Highness in, Your Highness, please!" Yuan Bao turned sideways and stretched out his hand to invite Li Chengqian in.
Li Chengqian climbed the steps and walked inward.
"Is my father feeling better?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Everyone has taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and their complexion has improved a lot." Wang Yuandao.
"Mr. Wang! The medicine has been decocted, is it presented to His Majesty? A little eunuch came to Wang Yuan's side to ask for instructions.
"Have you ever tried the temperature of this medicine, is it hot or not?" Before Wang Yuan could speak, Li Chengqian took the lead in asking questions.
This Chinese medicine is too hot and hot to the mouth, too cold and I am afraid that it will lose some of its efficacy.
"This ......" The little eunuch didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, this is medicine, not something, how can he try it casually?
On weekdays, the medicine is decocted, and it is directly brought to Wang Yuan's hands, waiting for a while, and then sending it to Li Er after it is cool, this temperature is really difficult to control.
"Bring the medicine!" Li Chengqian said.
The little eunuch looked at Wang Yuan, not knowing what to do!
"Your Highness! What are you? Wang Yuan asked.
"Naturally, I want to taste the decoction, and I can send the decoction with just the right temperature to my father in time." Li Chengqian said.
Tasting the decoction is a story of the twenty-four filial pieties, which tells the story of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty when his mother was sick, and personally tried the decoction.
Li Chengqian just took the opportunity to imitate, in order to show filial piety to Li Er, and change his image in Li Er's heart, which was beneficial to him to consolidate the position of the crown prince.
Wang Yuan waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to bring the decoction over.
Li Chengqian tasted it without hesitation, he only frowned when it was bitter, and Li Chengqian put the decoction back into the tray.
He admired Emperor Wen of Han, such a bitter decoction could last for three years, which is really not comparable to ordinary people.
"The temperature of this medicine is acceptable, and it can be drunk by my father, but it is a little bitter! Let people prepare some candied fruit, and after the father and emperor drink the decoction, eat some candied fruit to remove the bitterness. Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness! Let's hurry up and enter the temple! Don't make everyone wait. Wang Yuan said, and ordered someone to prepare the preserves.
Li Chengqian had a leg disease and had difficulty moving, so Wang Yuan slowly walked into the hall with him in order to take care of Li Chengqian.
Wang Yuan first sent someone into the main hall, sent the decoction to Li Er, and told Li Er what had just happened.
Before entering the temple, they had to take off their shoes, after all, they were still sitting on the floor.
Li Chengqian and the two came to the main hall, Li Er had already finished drinking the decoction, and he had some candied fruit in his mouth, so that his mouth would not be so bitter.
"Erchen has seen his father!" Li Chengqian saluted Li Er.
"Excuse me!" Li Erdao: "Give the prince a seat!" ”
Immediately, a eunuch brought a seat to Li Chengqian and placed it in front of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian sat cross-legged on the seat, and the intimate eunuch brought a voucher for the prince to rely on.
This is not above the court, there are no such strict rules, there is no need to be so restrictive, everyone is very casual.
