Chapter 1283: The Widow Has a Disease
Li Chengqian has gone to Quzhou, and now it is estimated that he has gone to Yangzhou to wait for the Su family to give birth and then go south, and since Li Chengqian was deposed, the position of the crown prince has been vacant, but at the beginning, no one dared to mention it, for fear of touching the sore spot in Li Shimin's heart, but as time went by, many ministers felt that the crown prince was not a good thing, especially now that Li Shimin's health was not very good, if something really happened, I am afraid that Datang would also have a big mess because of this.
In this case, Chu Suiliang and others wrote to Li Shimin, hoping to re-establish the position of the prince in order to stabilize the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Li Shimin did not say much after receiving these people's plays, but just said that he had to think about it, but the ministers below were very anxious, and finally forced Li Shimin to be sick, of course, no one knew whether he was really sick or fake, anyway, he didn't go to court for a few days.
Li Xiu was also seriously ill before because of Ma Ye's death, and now his condition has just improved, and he heard the news of Li Shimin's illness, but he suspects that Li Shimin is pretending to be sick, after all, the ministers below are in a hurry, and with his understanding of Li Shimin, it is impossible for the other party to really get sick because of this matter!
However, Li Xiu has resigned now, and he is too lazy to pay attention to the affairs in the court, especially Li Chengqian's affairs have ended, and he has experienced the death of Ma Ye, and he has also become ill because of it, which makes Li Xiu feel tired, so he also plans to recuperate for a while, and even the classes at the academy have been suspended.
"Master Qiqi, Zhao Guogong is here to visit!" But at this afternoon, when Li Xiu was half lying on the bed reading a book, he didn't expect that a maid suddenly came to report that the eldest grandson Wuji actually came, which made him stunned.
"Let him in!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment and quickly raised his head and said, he also felt a little strange that the eldest grandson Wuji came to visit, because when he was just sick, the eldest grandson Wuji had already come to visit him, of course, as a friend, it was normal for the other party to come to visit many times, but the eldest grandson Wuji was usually busy with official business, and it was very rare to be able to find time to visit him once, how could he have time to come a second time?
However, Li Xiu didn't have time to think about this, because the eldest Sun Wuji came soon, and when he saw Li Xiu after he came in, he immediately showed a bright smile and said: "Brother Li, your complexion is much better than last time, it seems that Sun Daoji is really a wonderful rejuvenation!" ”
"Brother Eldest Sun is polite, I'm seriously ill now, I really can't get up to greet him, I hope you forgive me!" Li Xiu also raised his arm at this time and arched his hand and said with a smile, although his illness has improved, his limbs are still very weak, Sun Simiao also told him to rest more, usually at most, let Princess Pingyang and others support him to walk a few steps, and it is still a little difficult to move freely.
"Brother Li is polite, the most important thing for you to recuperate now is not to hurt your body again!" The eldest grandson Wuji persuaded again at this time, and when he spoke, he also walked to Li Xiu's bed, and then the maid brought him a chair, and he also sat in front of Li Xiu.
The eldest grandson Wuji first inquired about Li Xiu's condition with concern, and Li Xiu also answered them one by one, but soon he changed the topic and said: "Brother Li, you should have heard about the affairs in the court, someone has already asked His Majesty to re-establish the crown prince!" ”
"I've heard a little bit, but isn't Your Majesty sick, I'm afraid this matter will have to be delayed, right?" Li Xiu sat up straight at this time and said, the eldest grandson Wuji must know whether Li Shimin is pretending to be sick or really sick.
Sure enough, hearing Li Xiu mention Li Shimin's illness, the eldest grandson Wuji showed a strange expression, and only after a while did he speak: "It is not wrong to say that Your Majesty is sick, and he still has the same illness as King Qi Xuan." ”
"King Qi Xuan?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then the results of his reading over the years finally appeared, because he thought that King Qi Xuan had a very famous allusion, that is, there was a dialogue between Mencius and King Qi Xuan in "Mencius", in which King Qi Xuan said a very sentence "The widow has a disease, and the widow is lustful".
"Ahem~, no, Your Majesty hasn't been in court for a few days, is it because of a woman?" After Li Xiu reacted, he also asked a little incredulously at the moment, although Li Shimin is only forty-five years old this year, his health has also been damaged by years of government affairs, and now he looks like an old man, so Li Xiu really didn't expect him to be fascinated by women.
"Hehe, Your Majesty is also a man, and it's not a big problem to love beautiful women, but because I don't go to court for a few days because I favor a woman, I'm afraid that this matter will also damage Your Majesty's prestige, so now the palace has also blocked this news, except for you and me, no one else knows." When the eldest grandson Wuji said at the end, he couldn't help but show a smug smile, the news in the palace can be hidden from others, but it can never be hidden from his ears and eyes.
"What kind of woman is so attractive?" Li Xiu was surprised again when he heard this, Li Shimin has all kinds of beauties in his harem, and he is not so easy to be fascinated by women, so he is also surprised and curious about this matter.
"Hehe, this woman is not simple, and maybe Brother Li has also heard of it, that is the little lady Xu who was famous ten years ago, and then His Majesty heard about her name, so he summoned her into the palace as a talent!" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed again at this time.
"Little lady Xu? Are you talking about Xu Hui who wrote 'Looking forward to the rocks and looking forward to it, caressing the laurel branches to contemplate'? When Li Xiu heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he immediately thought of the other party's name, and said in surprise again.
Xu Hui is also the concubine Xu Xian in the history of later generations, it is said that this woman has been extremely smart since she was a child, she can speak in May, she is familiar with the "Analects" and "Book of Songs" at the age of four, and she is good at writing poems at the age of eight.
At that time, when Li Xiu heard the news of Xu Hui's entry into the palace, he also scolded Li Shimin in his heart, because Xu Hui was only about ten years old at the time, and such a young child was also able to do it to him? However, Li Xiu later learned that talented people like Xu Hui are generally raised in the palace, just like child daughters-in-law, and if they want to sleep, they have to wait until they become adults, after all, Li Shimin will not be interested in a child no matter how much he is.
"It's this Xu Cairen, she has been raised in the palace, and His Majesty probably forgot about her, but an incident happened a few days ago!" The eldest grandson Wuji spoke again at this time, it is strange to say, when Li Shimin's gossip was mentioned, the eldest grandson Wuji seemed very excited, and he didn't know what kind of psychology it was?
