Chapter 34: Doubts
The old eunuch Wang Zhen walked down and didn't say a word, when this young majesty was still the king of Qin, he was the personal servant of the king of Qin, and he would never dare to intervene in such a heavenly matter, not to mention... Something about the Emperor...
Perhaps only the eldest grandson queen who is in love with each other can comfort a few words.
"Go to the Green Palace." Li Shimin dropped this sentence, then turned over and rode on the green horse again, riding in the dust.
The eunuchs behind Wang Zhen looked at each other, and they could only trot to follow His Majesty the Emperor.
A moment later, the green hall was picked.
"Mother... Mother, Ke has been seriously ill for a few days, thank you for the sleepless care of the mother. Li Ke was half-lying on the sickbed, took the warm medicinal soup sent by Concubine Yang, a trace of blood gushed out of his pale face, coughed softly a few times, and said to Concubine Yang with difficulty.
Concubine Yang was haggard with her eyebrows, took the medicine bowl and handed it to the palace maid beside her, brushed the soft hair on Li Ke's forehead that was stuck with sweat with her pale fingertips, and said softly: "Ke'er, you are fine, this serious illness is good, you pay attention to rest, don't think too much." β
Between the words, he pressed the thin quilt with his hands.
Li Ke gasped a few times and was about to lie down to rest, but a sound of a fast horse came into the Shicui Palace, and he couldn't help asking, "Mother?" What's big today? β
Concubine Yang pursed her red lips and shook her head with a smile, his son was in a very good mood when he recovered from his illness, but he was helpless at the age of seven or eight years old like a little adult, "Listening to the news in the palace, it is the Turks in the north who are heading south, and their Great Khan Jieli Khan personally leads the troops, there are 100,000 people... It seems that it has arrived in Chang'an......"
In the last sentence, she is also not very clear, the Shicui Hall is located on the west side of the Ye Ting, which is a remote place, and even the commander who reported the news is unwilling to go, so Li Shimin's victory of the army without a fight did not reach here.
Speaking of Turkic, Concubine Yang's mind also wandered, "Don't you know your father's ability?" The Turks can't enter Chang'an......"
"Of course!" Li Ke shouted excitedly, and he didn't care about the thin quilt that was hidden on his waist, but said with great interest: "My father relieved the siege of Emperor Yang of Sui at the age of sixteen, and then destroyed Wang Shichong... If a certain person is cured, he must open a three-stone Zhemu bow, ride a horse of thousands of miles, and the fame only needs to be taken immediately, and when the Turks are destroyed, Ke will be a general by his father's side..."
"Yanmen?" Concubine Yang murmured softly, and her thoughts flew to that twenty years ago, when the Turkic Qimin Khan entered Chang'an... No, it was still called Daxing City at that time.
She is still a princess under the high walls of the deep palace, just a princess born to a concubine, hiding in the corner and watching her brothers and sisters in gorgeous clothes, stepping on brocade shoes, and talking about the life of Daxing City, it is said... The willow trees of Baqiao are covered with Shu brocade, and those barbarians are vulgar and smelly...
Now the past is like a cloud of smoke, dissipated with the wind, but why... There was a bitter smile on the corner of Concubine Yang's mouth, and Ke'er's excited words on the bed, can you?
She wanted to say: "Ke'er, let go of that unrealistic dream, you are just a concubine, and a concubine can only have the right to live if he is mediocre..."
But she didn't say anything, she could only bite her lip and caress Li Ke affectionately, the eight-year-old child still has naΓ―ve fantasies, she doesn't want to shatter... She can bear the deep palace for more than 20 years, so why implicate this poor child...
There is another sentence, which she buried in the bottom of her heart, according to the gossip of those palace people: "Jieli Khan is the provocation of Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, in order to restore the Great Sui Sheji..."
"Okay, what Ke'er said is really good, he really deserves to be the son of so-and-so." Outside the Shicui Palace, there was a hearty laugh.
Li Shimin's armor was not taken off, with a three-foot long sword tied to his waist, and he stepped in, and the clanging sound of fine pieces of armor hit, although the armor was not stained with a trace of blood, but the spirit was not allowed to be looked at directly.
Concubine Yang knelt on the ground and saluted, her pink dress was like a blooming delicate flower, crushing Li Shimin's iron-blooded ruthlessness, her cold and hard face softened like a line, and he said softly: "Concubine Ai, please get up, I just came here this time to see how Ke'er's condition is..."
"Father Lao is worried, Ke'er... Ahem, my body is no longer in serious trouble, I don't know if the Turks outside Chang'an City have been repulsed, Ke also wants to take the sword to cut off the head of Hu Lu, and strengthen my Tang Dynasty's prestige..."Li Ke replied respectfully, but those ink-like eyes ignited with desire...
"Yes, but..." Li Shimin paused a few times, touched Li Ke's head, rubbed it a few times, and laughed happily: "If even seven or eight-year-old children go to the battlefield, then what do you want me to wait for adults?" Unless it's time to really lose the country..."
When the Tang Dynasty founded the country and unified the world, although it was smooth sailing, there were always those few hard stubbles, and the cities that could not be surrounded for a long time, and the warlike generals did not hesitate to promise to the soldiers who were in a hurry to slaughter the city.
Can... After he Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, An could let the children go to the battlefield, and he was not incompetent to that extent!
After caring for Concubine Yang and Li Ke, Li Shimin finally brought up the most doubtful thing in his heart, "How can my father know how to heal?" How did you treat Ke'er? β
In fact, there are very few doctors who don't understand medical skills, and in addition to reading poetry and books, they will not hesitate to spend some time reading medical books, but these are all half-understood, and they are only limited to understanding, and they can't compare to Lang Zhong, who practices medicine, let alone the Taiyi of the Taiyi Department, which represents the top medical team in Datang!
Therefore, at the moment when he heard that Li Yuan could convince Imperial Doctor Xu, Li Shimin's gossip heart was like a fire burning the prairie for a long time.
Why is Li Yuan's health so good and how many sons he has born?
It must be hidden!
"When Ke'er was critically ill, it happened that the queen recruited all the concubines and princesses to enter the Zichen Palace last night to hold a celebration banquet, and the concubine could not go because Ke'er was seriously ill.
"Moldy steamed buns?" Li Shimin frowned, he really didn't understand what was in it, and asked: "Could it be that this treatment and... Is moldy steamed bread related? But everyone knows that moldy steamed buns have diarrhea when eaten..."
"It's relevant." Concubine Yang nodded, and as she was talking, she suddenly knelt down, "I beg Your Majesty to punish the crime, the concubine does not know that Penicillium steamed buns are a good cure for treatment, protect Ke'er, and prevent the emperor from feeding the medicine, this is the fault of the concubine!" Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Xu came and proved that Penicillium steamed bread can cure typhoid fever..."
"You're right, if it's you, I don't know that moldy steamed buns can cure diseases, and they won't make people cure diseases easily, Ke'er is your bone and blood, can you protect it?" Li Shimin sighed, and shouted to Wang Zhen and the others who were running in a hurry, panting: "Spread the message of Imperial Doctor Xu to see you!" β
Wang Zhen: "...."
