Chapter 912: The Crippled Prince
In front of Li Shimin, it was not convenient for Li Xiu to ask about Li Chengqian's leg injury, after all, in comparison, the injury on the chest and abdomen was the most fatal, but Li Xiu noticed the injury on Li Chengqian's leg from the beginning, and now Li Chengqian's injury has improved, which makes him a little impatient, so he followed Sun Simiao out to ask.
"Why did the colt remember to ask about the prince's leg injury?" Sun Simiao was also stunned when he heard Li Xiu's question, after all, in his opinion, although Li Chengqian's leg injury was serious, it was not a fatal injury, even if he was a doctor, he mainly focused on Li Chengqian's chest and abdomen injury during this time.
"This ...... It's nothing, I just saw that the prince's leg was bandaged very tightly, and I was worried that His Majesty would be upset, so I didn't ask him, so I planned to ask you about it! Li Xiu hesitated for a moment and immediately made an excuse.
Sun Simiao didn't doubt Li Xiu's explanation, and only pondered for a moment before he spoke again: "The prince's injury this time is too serious, in addition to the fatal chest and abdominal injury, the most serious is the fracture on the right leg, and it just hurt the ankle, you also know that there are the most bones there, and many bones have been trampled under the horse's step, even the best bone doctor, it is impossible to reset these broken bones one by one!" ”
"Dao Chief, you mean to say that the prince's feet are ......" Li Xiu himself also knew medical skills, and at this time he naturally heard the meaning of Sun Simiao's words, but when he was halfway through, he couldn't say it anyway, because this was too cruel for a fifteen-year-old boy.
"Alas, you guessed right, even if the prince does not die this time, I am afraid that he will suffer from foot disease in the future!" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji sighed again at this time and said, foot disease is just a more elegant term, and most people prefer to call it a disability, or a more straightforward lame.
"That'...... How far can the best situation be restored, and can he be allowed to walk as usual, not visible on the surface? Li Xiu was silent for a while, and finally asked again, there are many cases of foot disease, some recover well, as long as you walk slowly, it is generally not easy to see, but you can't walk or run quickly, but some are more serious, I'm afraid you have to use crutches or even a wheelchair.
"This ......" Sun Simiao smiled bitterly again when he heard Li Xiu's words, and only after a moment did he shake his head and said, "I'm afraid it's unlikely that you want to return to walking as usual, after all, like the prince, it's not easy to guarantee that you can walk, and your right leg will definitely be affected, so your walking posture will definitely be different from ordinary people." ”
Seeing Sun Simiao shaking his head, Li Xiu couldn't help but look gloomy, even Sun Simiao said that it was impossible, it seems that Li Chengqian's walking will be affected in the future, maybe compared to life, a lame leg doesn't seem to be nothing, but don't forget, Li Chengqian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his appearance is also very important, even if Li Shimin doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care, and it doesn't mean that Li Chengqian himself doesn't care.
In particular, Li Chengqian is only fifteen years old, and he is at the age of the strongest self-esteem, if he is lame, even if others dare not look down on him because of his identity, it is inevitable that there will be discussions behind his back, and Li Chengqian himself will inevitably be suspicious, and even feel that everyone in the world is watching his jokes, which will have an immeasurable impact on his psychology!
In addition, Li Xiu also thought that Datang has a very bad atmosphere, that is, he likes to judge people by their appearance, although this is a common disease of the entire human society, even in later generations, they will also judge people by their appearance, but Datang is the only dynasty that will judge people by appearance, for example, Datang officials have one of the most basic requirements, that is, they have good facial features, they don't have to be handsome, but they must not be too ugly, and it is basically impossible for people with disabilities to be officials, because the appearance of officials is the face of the court.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty court from the emperor to the civil and military officials, almost all of them are dignified, of course, there are a very few ugly ones, such as the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun, this person is ugly and peculiar, it is said that at the funeral of the death of the eldest grandson queen, Xu Jingzong couldn't help laughing because he saw his appearance, and as a result, he angered Li Shimin and was demoted, which shows that Ouyang Xun is ugly, but Ouyang Xun is ugly, but he is extremely talented, and he is one of Li Yuan's friends, Therefore, we can get rid of the harsh conditions of judging people by their appearance.
Even the officials of the Tang Dynasty have requirements for appearance, let alone the prince of a country, and even among the royal families of all dynasties, it is generally impossible for a disabled prince to become a prince, and becoming a prince like Li Chengqian and becoming disabled is definitely the first case in history, which will definitely make Li Chengqian's heart more pressure.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu's heart also felt heavy, and he asked about Li Chengqian's injuries at the moment, and Sun Simiao also answered them one by one, and then he said goodbye and left, and Li Xiu personally sent him out of the hall. Speaking of which, because of the matter of the monk and Taoist Lusi, many people in Taoism hate him, but Sun Simiao is not in this case, because he has been practicing medicine in the people all the year round, and he has seen many scum of the sect oppressing the people, so he also understands the imperial court's attack on Buddhism and Taoism.
After sending Sun Simiao away, Li Xiu returned to the hall with some heavy steps again, and his mind was also full of Li Chengqian's leg disease, if he remembered correctly, Li Chengqian's temperament in history also changed greatly after his leg disease, so his above speculation was not groundless, but unfortunately now no one else is aware of this problem except himself.
In the next few days, Li Xiu has also been accompanying Li Shimin to stay by Li Chengqian's side, so that he can persuade Li Shimin nearby and let him take care of his health, and the eldest grandson Wuji also comes often, but now the government affairs are on him, Fang Xuanling and others, so he can only stay for a while and leave every time.
However, the good news is that Li Chengqian's body is indeed improving little by little, and he is awake more and more often, and he slowly recognizes Li Shimin and Li Xiu, which makes everyone overjoyed, Li Shimin is finally relieved, at least he can eat and sleep, after the eldest grandson queen heard the news, she dragged her sick leave to the East Palace to visit, and the mother and son also hugged their heads and cried.
Li Chengqian's life is worry-free, which also makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief, Li Xiu can finally go home and have a good rest, but he only rested for one day, and the next day he went to the financial supervision to deal with official business, after all, he was not there during this time, and the logistics system of the banks in Luoyang and Chang'an is also being built, which needs to be handled by him.
With the recovery of Li Chengqian's body, Li Shimin finally began to deal with government affairs, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and others were moved and almost cried, after all, Li Shimin threw down government affairs and didn't care, but they were all miserable, for example, Fang Xuanling simply moved the beds to Shangshu Province, and the food and accommodation were there, as for Du Ruhui, who was not in good health, he was directly tired and sick, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also uncomfortable, the whole person lost weight twice, and the two panda eyes couldn't go down.
Li Xiu also took the opportunity to give Li Shimin the matter of the bank's construction of a logistics system, mainly because the bank needs a guard force to protect the transportation of materials, and because most of the transportation is valuable materials, this guard must be loyal and reliable, and the general army is not good, and the only one who can meet this requirement is the forbidden army, so Li Shimin's consent must be obtained.
In response to the bank's request, Li Shimin, after careful consideration, decided to send a forbidden army to the bank, on the one hand to protect the safety of banks in various places, and on the other hand, it can also help the bank transport materials, but although this forbidden army is nominally under the jurisdiction of the bank, it is actually under the jurisdiction of the Beiya, that is, directly under the management of Li Shimin.
Li Xiu didn't care about the ownership of the bank garrison, anyway, as long as he usually listened to his own orders, and after the garrison was assigned to the bank, he immediately began to build a bank logistics system. Therefore, these require strict confidentiality and transportation systems.
In the next period of time, Li Xiu also focused on the transformation of the bank garrison, these forbidden troops let them fight and kill people very well, but now the bank does not need them to fight and kill, but to let them do the work of security guards, and it is also a very demanding security guard, equivalent to the security company of later generations, these are not the generals of the forbidden army can solve, so Li Xiu must also personally reorganize and train them.
Fortunately, Li Xiu still has some prestige in the army, after all, he also participated in the battle to destroy the Turks, and his military exploits are also real, but he can subdue the soldiers in the forbidden army, so the reorganization and training of the forbidden army is very smooth, and soon, the first batch of materials sent from Chang'an Bank to Luoyang Bank will set off, the most valuable of which are those accounts and customer information.
The bank's affairs are progressing steadily, and Li Chengqian's injuries are getting better day by day, but he doesn't know that his feet are disabled, in fact, except for a few people such as Li Shimin and Li Xiu, the outside world doesn't know about this matter, and even Li Chengqian himself thinks that although his leg bone is broken, it can be repaired in the future.
However, as time went by, Li Chengqian slowly felt that something was wrong, after all, his feet grew on his body, and only he knew best about the recovery of the injury, at the beginning Sun Simiao They could also use the weather getting colder, so the recovery of the bone injury was relatively slow as an explanation, but Li Chengqian became more and more disbelievable to this explanation, until one day he forced an imperial doctor to tell the truth, and then he knew that he was about to become a lame prince.
