Chapter Eighty-Six: If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? (Above)
The old man woke up with a chirp, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a team of sergeants, and the old man said weakly: "Dare to ask which general is it?" Li Chengyan was just about to speak, when Wang Zhong interjected on the side: "It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved you, I don't know how blessed you are as an old man." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Chengyan glanced at Wang Zhong, the old man heard this, struggling with his weak body and about to get up, Li Chengyan gently pressed down and said: "My retainers are rude, the old gentleman must not be polite."
"What kind of courtesy, Lao Dao is over eighty years old this year, and you don't need to be polite when you see the emperor, how can you be the prince? The old man's medicine, you killing talent, hurry up and raise your feet, you are stepping on the old medicine" The old man struggled to look at a seedling of herbs under Wang Zhong's feet and said, Li Chengyan was angry for a while when he heard this, what kind of person, the old man really ignored it, took a bamboo blue herb brought by Wang Zhong, and didn't let go.
"Ahem, I don't know the old gentleman's surname? Where is the fairy town? Li Chengyan picked up the old Taoist priest and asked respectfully, every old man with a dream is worthy of respect, and an old man who treats diseases and saves people is even more worthy of respect.
"Haha, the old man's surname is Sun" The old man was just a little suffering from heat stroke, and after a short rest, he woke up, and while packing up the medicine, he talked to Li Chengyan with a smile.
"The old man has a good lifespan, since it's okay, there are important things to do with me, so I won't bother much" Li Chengyan was about to retreat, and a soldier who was responsible for guarding Li Chengyan suddenly rushed to the front of the old man: "Sun Shenxian, you are Sun Shenxian, I am Liu Er from Liujiazhuang in Alum County." The old man thought for a while, then picked up the sergeant who was still kowtowing and said, "I've been to Alum County, Liujiazhuang?" People are old and have a bad memory. ”
"When the little family was infected with the epidemic, it was you who saved our whole village, the kid was only a teenager at that time, if it weren't for you, I would have been gone" The soldier hugged the old man and cried, while giving the old man a look, Li Chengyan was stunned, and then Wang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he whispered a few words in Li Chengyan's ear, Li Chengyan said to the old man with a twitch of the corners of his mouth after listening: "Oh, it turns out that the old man is still Liu Er's life-saving benefactor, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention that the grace of saving life is like regenerating parents, cough cough, Although your old man is older, it is good to be a grandfather, that I and Liu Erqing are like brothers, then his benefactor is naturally also my benefactor, repaying the favor is a must, this place is not a place to speak, we will have a report after meeting Chang'an" and then said to Wang Zhong: "Wang Zhong, quickly help the old fairy to get on the horse, go back to Chang'an", and then ignore the old man's need, almost even the old man on the horse.
It was about 600 miles from Luoyang to Chang'an, and the speed of the rapid march was just over a day. Sun Simiao was brought back to the East Palace by Li Chengyan, such talents should not be exiled to the wild, a country does not have its own medical system and medical team, that is the sadness of the country, it has nothing to do with the strength or weakness of the country, Sun Simiao is the founder of this medical system and medical team, whether he wants it or not.
When it happened to be Yin in Chang'an, the gate of Chang'an was just opened, more than 100 horsemen rushed in, and the soldiers guarding the door saw that it was Li Chengyan, and they did not dare to stop it, everyone went all the way to the Zhuque Gate, and asked Wang Zhong to entertain Sun Simiao well, and rode into the imperial city.
The court was still arguing endlessly, only to hear a eunuch singing loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince~", Li Er, who was sitting in the court, his eyes lit up, and he knew that the child had entered the palace without even packing his clothes, Li Chengyan strode to the front of the court, knelt down in front of Li Eryi and said: "Erchen is fortunate not to be dishonored, this battle is beheaded, two thousand nine hundred and fifty-three people, nine hundred and one prisoners, all the captives have been executed on the spot, the combat strength of the new army will be presented to General Li Jing, General Cheng, and General Qin. ”
"My son has worked hard, the matter of the new army will be mentioned later, you will be listening for a while" Li Er said to Li Chengyan, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji who was holding the don't pull below: "The three provinces have a plan, this time the locusts are crossing, what is the loss, I don't want to listen to those rhetoric, tell me!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed to Li Eryi and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the urgent report, from Henan Road, Hebei Road, Guanzhong Road, Longyou Road, four provinces and twenty-five states, there are big locusts covering the sky and the sun, except for the Guannei Road where Chang'an is located, it is the beginning of summer seedlings, and the rest of the places are all grain filling periods, and this year's harvest is probably not one in ten" The locusts came very violently, and everyone expected it, even Li Chengyan had only heard of the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't know how big it was, what does it mean to cover the sky and the sun? The sandstorm locusts seemed to be carried by the wind to devour everything they could.
"How is Chang'an?" Li Er asked
"At this time, the locusts may have arrived in Luoyang" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words were finished, he heard a buzzing sound coming from outside the hall, Li Er was stunned and walked down the high platform, only to see a black fog drifting from a distance, the palace is located on the Longshou Plain, higher than Chang'an City, it is natural to be able to see farther, Li Er grabbed a handful, and a locust caught it in his hand.
"A man lives with grain, and you eat it to the detriment of the people. The people have had, and they have a spirit in one person, but when they erode my heart, they will not harm the people. Then he was about to stuff it into his mouth, but Li Chengyan snatched it and said, "How many can my father eat alone?" If this locust can be swallowed cleanly, the son is willing to die even if he survives, father, now the elimination of locusts is a big deal! As soon as Li Chengyan finished speaking, he heard a violent voice coming: "Your Majesty, haven't you woken up now?" Heaven still warns that it is all because the prince is tyrannical and unkind, before there is a wolf to destroy the Cui family, and then there is a pit to kill 900 prisoners, the prince is a big businessman to seize the people's wealth for his own use, and the embezzlement of silver and iron ore is innumerable, the Tang Dynasty money collection of money a year into tens of millions of dollars, and more glazed ware in other countries, a commodity glaze dares to say that it is not ashamed to ask for 3,000 runs, since ancient times, how can the prince dare to be so arrogant? Relying on His Majesty's favor, he began to form a new army again, which is what a prince of a country should do! Your Majesty, the old minister begged Your Majesty today to abolish the position of Prince Li Chengyan and replace it with the crown prince! ”
"I beg Your Majesty to change the crown prince!"
Does the conspiracy start here now? More than a hundred ministers actually knelt down more than ordinary people, the corners of Li Chengyan's mouth were still raised, looking at Li Er, whose hands were still shaking, this is the face of this group of people, they only think of the interests of the family, as long as it is a powerful matter for the family, they would rather risk their lives to fight for it, and the life or death of others is never their business.
The eldest grandson Wuji's old face turned blue, "The matter of the Cui family has long been decided, the matter of killing prisoners is my will, the prince's annual tax is a lot, and it is half of the treasury, and what he does is only a business for the benefit of the country and the people, what does the other country have to do with my Datang, and we can't make any money from them?" The matter of the new army is also done by His Majesty, and it is not too early for you to want to abolish the crown prince so deliberately! ”
"Eldest grandson Wuji, you still dare to use strong words, this catastrophe is just around the corner, this is the evidence that God punishes the prince!" The person who spoke was called Lu Xian, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the official worshiped the three provinces.
"Enough! Heaven punishes me alone, what does it have to do with the prince? Three days later, at noon in the afternoon, I will naturally give my own edict, don't say much" Li Er scolded loudly, flicked his sleeves and went back to the palace, Li Chengyan didn't wait much and ignored everyone and returned to the East Palace, there are more important servants to deal with.
"Look at him like that, the demeanor of a prince of a country?" Lu Xian reprimanded loudly, most of the people kneeling on the ground just now were from the Shandong clan, Li Chengyan naturally ignored it, you have to be the one to give you face, who is to blame.
Lu Xian called an official and whispered a few words, and then everyone left the palace with his followers.
East Palace.
"What does the prince want to invite Lao Dao over today?" Sun Simiao sat in the hall and said to Li Chengyan.
"Two things, one, I want to open a medical academy, and now there is a shortage of people, and second, I have an antidote to sores" Li Chengyan's first sentence made Sun Simiao's eyes brighten, and the second sentence made Sun Simiao's jaw drop in shock.
"You said you have an antidote to sores, do you know what kind of disease sores are?" Sun Simiao grabbed Li Chengyan's shoulder and said.
"The details are written in the booklet, I don't plan to participate in this matter, just send me a letter when the time comes" Li Chengyan handed the booklet to Sun Simiao, and walked towards the inner hall.
Yan Yan and Yang Ting'er are now three months pregnant, stroking their slightly bulging bellies, Li Chengyan is full of happiness, this place will always be his pure land, and no matter what happens outside, his heart can always be purified at home.
"Brother, do you know what the rumors outside say?" Yang Ting'er leaned on Li Chengyan's chest and asked,
"What rumors?" Li Chengyan has been in Luoyang recently, but he hasn't heard any rumors.
"It is rumored that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is the ancestral dragon of the heavens, with the aura of killing, one day he will be in the air" Yang Ting'er said worriedly, in fact, they all understand what is going on, kill you, first hold you high, and then fall you to death.
"Compared with me, they are also a little tenderer, how is the arrival report in the capital doing? Can it be used?" Li Chengyan asked Yang Ting'er and said.
"I know that you have a way, and in vain your younger brothers and sisters are ready to sacrifice to the sky for you" Li Chengyan stood up and pulled his wife, pregnant again, it is estimated that it has been more than two months, Li Chengyan is most unaccustomed to this, people in their thirties, and they don't know how to cherish themselves at all.
"There are some things I can't say, but everything must be measured, people's energy is always limited, you can't think of yourself as a queen ant, endless" The eldest grandson was very ashamed of Li Chengyan's words, and twitched lightly and said: "No matter what I do, it's not your responsibility, how do you deal with it, the monks of Chang'an are going to burn you to the sky."
"I didn't provoke them, but they dared to provoke me, which monk is so bold," Li Chengyan said while giving the eldest grandson a pulse.
"If you can find out that your father would have gone crazy a long time ago, hasn't you always been able to find out" The eldest grandson withdrew his hand and said with a blank look at Li Chengyan.
"I'll talk about it after this year, I don't have time to clean them up now" Li Chengyan knew that the eldest grandson's illness was completely cured, and let out a heavy sigh.
"What are you holding back?" Li Er, who had been outside, entered the door and said to Li Chengyan, who came with him, and the little son saw his brother flying and threw himself into his arms, Li Chengyan picked up his son and spun around in the sky, making the little guy giggle. 、
"Play public opinion with me, I will let them see what the real king of gossip is," Li Chengyan said to Li Er while teasing his son.
"Tell me about it" Li Er was interested and said to Li Chengyan.
"Haha, five truths and one lie, then the lie becomes the truth, and it is a shame that my father has been tax-free all these years, do you know how the people praise their father now? In ancient times, there were three emperors in the prosperous era, and now there is Zhenguan to create a precedent, and when the farmers have no tax, the three deniers of rice will have a bumper year, which is the biggest capital I dare to bet with them," Li Chengyan said with a smile.
