Chapter 324: Intercession
Everyone was frightened, and hurriedly investigated, and found that Li Yuan just fell asleep, so they breathed a sigh of relief, leaving two or three maidservants to serve in the hall, and the others quietly withdrew, and when they arrived outside the hall, they walked a few steps away, Li Shimin recruited a few imperial doctors, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the emperor's physical condition?" ”
Several imperial doctors looked at each other, pushed for a moment, or Wei Ci hid out to answer, and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, from the pulse point of view, the emperor has the disease of qi deficiency, due to the sudden change of yin and yang, the emperor is old, and he can't resist the invasion ......of cool air.
Listening carefully to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Li Shimin did not express any opinion, but asked directly: "When will I recover?" ”
This question is not easy to answer, that is, no matter how high the medical skills are, no matter how sure they are, they dare not easily promise a date, if it is not good at that time, wouldn't it be self-inflicted, hesitated, Wei Cizang could only say tactfully: "The ministers should do their best, as long as there are no accidents, the emperor will soon be able to recover." ”
"How long is it soon, five days? Ten days? Half a month? Li Shimin frowned and said unhappily: "Listen to what you mean, the emperor's condition has not yet stabilized, and it will not be repeated at any time?" ”
"Your Majesty, the emperor is old, and his physique is not as good as ......before," Wei Cizang said tremblingly, there is no way, the big man always has a bit of a problem of avoiding medical treatment, where do a few imperial doctors dare to speak out, Li Yuan's condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad, it is difficult for them to grasp it accurately, so naturally they have to make a foreshadowing in advance, just in case, so as not to have another accident, and there is no chance to explain.
"Well, I don't want to hear these excuses." Li Shimin said: "The emperor will hand it over to you, and there must be no accidents, otherwise you will be asked." ”
"The ministers obey." Several imperial doctors hurriedly responded, complaining bitterly in their hearts, what they were most afraid of was that when they encountered this situation, life in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death were inevitable, no one could get rid of it, Li Yuan was naturally no exception, if something really happened, they were not immortals, and they lacked skills to return to the sky, at that time, they would definitely be unlucky.
Sweeping away this group of bitter doctors, Li Shimin turned around and said: "Guanyin, my father's health has improved, and I don't worry about others, so I will take care of you more." ”
"Erlang, don't worry, I will take care of my father." Empress Changsun said, gentle as water, but has a convincing temperament.
Speaking of which, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, are really lucky, and the queens they married are all well-known virtuous and virtuous, gentle and kind, and enviable, jealous and hateful, so things must be reversed, and there is a Wu Zetian, which shows that balance is the king.
A digression, seeing that Empress Changsun agreed, Li Shimin was a little relieved, after all, he was the emperor's honor, after making sure that Li Yuan was safe and sound for the time being, he immediately adjusted his mentality, drove away, returned to the Taiji Palace Pavilion, and continued to deal with political affairs.
"The Imperial Ancestor is still sleeping soundly, and the Imperial Physicians are discussing the prescription for recuperation, presumably in two days, the Imperial Ancestor will be able to recover." Li Chengqian said, his expression was a little hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he had scruples.
"That's fine." Put your mind at ease, what kind of character is Li Shimin, he found Li Chengqian's abnormality at a glance, and he didn't have to beat around the bush, he directly asked: "Then what is Qian'er here for?" ”
"Father, Han Rui, the school secretary, has been in the Imperial History Observatory for a long time, has the matter been investigated?" Li Chengqian asked cautiously, Li Yuan is awake, his condition is stable, Li Shimin should be in a good mood, the opportunity is rare, if you don't dredge up the plea now, when will you stay?
Well, Li Shimin frowned slightly, Li Chengqian didn't mention it, he really forgot about it, this is also very normal, after all, as the lord of the world, there are tens of millions of people under his rule, as well as officials in the capital, assassins in various states, military generals of the army, lords and magnates, all kinds of things, like stars, countless, it must be impossible to remember them all, so Li Shimin will list the names of officials in some important positions in detail in the screen of the dormitory, in case of omission.
Relatively speaking, Han Rui's name can leave a deep impression in Li Shimin's heart, which is already an opportunity that many people dream of, it stands to reason that Li Shimin should be more concerned about the case he has appointed, however, recently, for Li Yuan's condition, Li Shimin is restless, and even the government is a little negligent, not to mention this small case.
Li Shimin asked, "He asked you to intercede with me?" ”
"No, Erchen just thinks that Han Xiaoshu has a noble character, and this matter should not be his doing." Li Chengqian hurriedly denied that as long as it was confirmed that Han Rui was guilty, there would be a plea for mercy, and now that the case has not yet been decided, it must not be echoed, lest Li Shimin have a preconceived idea and decide the matter.
Li Shimin was noncommittal, his status was different, he was destined not to trust a person easily, seeing Li Shimin silent, Li Chengqian's heart was worried, and he said softly: "Father, the son feels that this matter is a little strange......
"Qian'er, you don't need to pay attention to this matter, wait for the Yushitai to review it clearly, and you will have your own judgment." Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Listening to the report of the officials and subordinates of the East Palace, in recent days, Qian'er has studied tirelessly and made rapid progress in his studies, and I am very comforted. ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up and commented: "Since the death of Young Master Li, Erchen is sad and sad, and feels that the teachers of the East Palace are no longer able to convince Erchen, so he has no intention of learning, and often goes out of the palace to play and hunt, so that he has abandoned his studies. ”
Young Master Li, that is, the young master of the prince Li Gang, is a bull man, and he has a lot of fate with the prince, he used to be the prince Yang Yong of the Sui Dynasty, the prince of the Tang Dynasty Li Jiancheng, and the current prince, Li Chengqian's teacher, if history has not changed, Li Gang should be able to be called the prince killer, and the three princes he taught were all abolished.
But it's also unusual, such a prince disaster, uh, at least from the perspective of future generations, it is indeed like this, in this era, but very prestigious, Zhenguan four years, Li Gang was worshiped as Li Chengqian's prince young master, whenever he spit out a speech, he was generous, Li Chengqian was very convinced, but unfortunately only a year, Li Gang died.
Li Chengqian personally set up a monument for him, and it can be seen that Li Chengqian is indeed very admiring for this teacher, and he still misses it until now, Li Shimin sighed and said: "The ancient emperor, born in the deep palace, and his sincerity and benevolence, are all arrogant, so I teach him strictly, that is, I hope you will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and now you can wake up and not waste my hard work." ”
"Father, it's the sons and daughters who are ignorant and can't understand your hard work." Li Chengqian said in a throat, revealing his true feelings.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, thought about it for a moment, and suddenly wrote two holy decrees, handed them to the temple people next to him to convey them, and then reminded him seriously: "Qian'er, the new East Palace Shaozhan Zhang Xuansu, the left concubine Yu Zhining, the surname is upright, and the ambition is loyal and filial, you have to listen to their opinions more, you should be respectful, and you must not slack off." ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly responded, and also understood the content of the two holy decrees, and was a little surprised in his heart, whether it was Zhang Xuansu or Yu Zhining, they were all famous ministers in the court, known as prestige, and now they belong to the East Palace, for Li Chengqian, it is not an attitude of Li Shimin.
After a moment of gentle words, Li Chengqian, who was in a happy mood, went back, Li Shimin smiled, shook his head slightly, and continued to review the folds, and it didn't take long for the news that Li Tai asked to see him outside, the two brothers were of the same heart, Li Shimin muttered, naturally allowed, and soon, Li Tai walked in and saluted respectfully.
"Blue Sparrow, what's going on?" Li Shimin asked in a harmonious voice, if Li Chengzhi is treated as a strict father, then when he treats Li Tai, he is full of kindness, a bit favoritism, but it is also a little normal, after all, in Li Shimin's mind, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, so he will naturally have to sharpen it, and Li Tai is a free prince, so he can't be too favored.
Who knows, it is this kind of unbridled love that is easy to misunderstand and produce undesirable thoughts.
Li Tai smiled and said, "Father, is it okay, I can't come to see you." ”
"Naturally, you can." Li Shimin said with a smile: "However, my father wants to review the folds, but I don't have time to talk to you." ”
"It's okay, Erchen can wait by the side." Li Tai said obediently.
"Okay, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it." Li Shimin smiled and said: "Are you going to hold a party, the palace is insufficient, and I have come to ask my father for help again." ”
"It's not." Li Tai shook his head, his eyes rolled, and he asked curiously: "Father, when the emperor came, when the retainer came, he saw that the imperial brother had just left, he came here, what was the matter?" ”
Well, Li Shimin paused, raised his head and said, "What, you are also here to intercede for Han Rui?" ”
I see, understanding what was going on, Li Tai naturally denied it, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "Father, Han Rui is the most suspicious, maybe the matter is really what he did, and it is normal to withhold and interrogate him, but the secretary Lang Gu Yin was just implicated, but he was also locked up, so he can't say anything." ”
Secretary Lang Gu Yin, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, vaguely impressed, but he didn't plan to delve into it, and said with a smile: "Qingque, this matter is being investigated by the Imperial Historical Observatory, what is the truth, there is a public opinion, you don't have to worry too much, you can accompany the emperor more when you are free, so that the old man can enjoy the joy of family." ”
Li Tai was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to argue, nodded lightly, and retreated. After Li Tai left, Li Shimin put down his pen, thought about it for a while, passed down the message, and summoned Ma Zhou, after so long, the matter has not been resolved, is there any problem that can't be done?
Soon after, Ma Zhou came in a hurry, knelt down, and greeted St. Ann.
"You don't have to be formal." Li Shimin waved his hand, sat down, and didn't go around in circles, and asked lightly: "Ma Yushi, is there a conclusion to the case I handed over to you for trial a few days ago?" ”
"Your Majesty, no." Ma Zhou said calmly: "Wechen is still investigating. ”
"Progress so slow?" Li Shimin was suspicious, frowned, and said: "Is the case complicated, or someone is obstructing it." ”
