(Read more)
At this time, Concubine Yang's palace can be described as chaotic, chickens and dogs jumping, His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, the first person of the future Li Tang generals, made a temporary trip, and let the assassin assassin assassinate.
If it weren't for the reason, Cen Wenwen would already be Li Ke's master, and it would be absolutely impossible to assassinate him, and he would be the biggest suspect now. Some people say that it was Sun Ning, who escaped during the Battle of Xuanwumen that day, and now he is making a comeback, and the main purpose is to kill Li Shimin's son and daughter.
And another rumor is that the Xuanwumen incident in Nian, she was taken away by a loyal servant, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, a total of ten sons, but did not kill all their daughters, nor did they miss such an inconspicuous little princess.
This little princess is named Li Yunxiao, who was adopted by Li Youliang, the king of Changle, and now Li Youliang has also failed to be killed, and she was taken by Li Jiancheng's original East Palace guard Sun Ning to avenge her relatives.
And that guard himself was an undercover agent who was ambushed by Li Jiancheng in the Qin Palace, and he secretly leaked Li Ke's whereabouts, which led to this assassination.
In an instant, the name of Sun Ning and the remnants of the East Palace resounded in the Tang Dynasty.
There are also people in the guards of the King of Chu who participated in this action that can be said to be a rebellion, so even the guards of the Son of Heaven are not trustworthy, and the official who selected the guards in the first place will be unlucky this time! Because Li Ke didn't use the Tiger Guards, he originally wanted to wait for the day when he entered the Chu Palace, and include all the five hundred Tiger Guards in his own mansion, so unknowingly arrange his henchmen, but he didn't expect this to happen again now.
Several imperial doctors were trembling in the face of the anger of the Son of Heaven and Concubine Yang, as well as those remnants of the Sui Dynasty at this time, because they didn't know what poison was smeared on the dart, so that the blood could not be coagulated, that is, if there was no way, Li Ke could only bleed to death, and the angry Li Shimin had already decreed that if the king of Chu could not be saved, these imperial doctors would wait to be buried!
Li Ke had fainted soon after returning to Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang sat on the edge of the bed, her face was not much better than that of her son lying on the bed, she kept smearing gold sore medicine on that small wound, and then continued to rub it on the wound before the thick gold sore medicine was washed away by blood. At last she cried: "Ke'er, my son! "The Queen Mother!"
Li Ke woke up in a daze, only to see a vague figure shaking in front of him, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"It's nothing, you'll definitely get better, Ke'er will be fine!!" Concubine Yang hurriedly wiped away her tears and said firmly.
Li Ke remembered in a trance what happened before he fainted, and saw that the blood on his arm was not stopping, and after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he understood the problem, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Queen Mother, let the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor seal the wound with a soldering iron!" He had lost a lot of blood and was weak to speak, but he still came up with this only way to stop the bleeding.
"Soldering iron?" Empress Eldest Sun was taken aback, "Call the Imperial Doctor!" ”
"I just ask, is this possible?" After all, Li Shimin was determined, and quickly made a choice, only looking at the feasibility.
The old imperial doctor hesitated for a moment: "Back to Your Majesty, it is feasible, but it is feasible to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!" If it can't be detoxified, His Royal Highness the King of Chu can't be injured a little in the future, otherwise it will still bleed, and he can't ...... it every time."
"Let's take care of today, and in the future, we will gather doctors from all over the world to detoxify the prince!" Li Shimin quickly made a decision. The red-hot soldering iron imprinted on the white arm, the smell of burnt skin and flesh spread, and the pain made Li Chengqian recover a little bit of consciousness, a large cold sweat oozed from his face, and the towel in his mouth was almost bitten.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and all they had to do now was to analyze the poison on the dart and develop an antidote as soon as possible. Li Shimin also calmed down, no matter what, his son is temporarily out of danger, and Li Ke's determination in this process is still very satisfactory to Li Shimin.
And the news that Li Shimin was assassinated and that he didn't know his life and death really made some people happy, but soon the news that King Hey Chu had awakened and only needed to recuperate slowly came out, and many people in the dark were very sorry and wanted Li Ke to die again.
"Do you know what to say?" Li Shimin looked at the imperial doctors coldly. "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is just a skin wound, and he is about to heal, so there is no need to worry! He is still like my Tang boy, and he can return to the battlefield! A treacherous and cunning imperial doctor immediately spoke, and the remaining imperial doctors were not stupid, and they hurriedly swore one by one that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would be cured immediately.
Li Shimin can't help it, although Li Li Ke picked up a life, but that kind of sequelae is really a huge hidden danger, in case it spreads, as long as those people with bad intentions think of any way to make Li Ke hurt a little, it is his own son, it can be said that everyone thinks that Li Ke's illness is cured, but few people know the news.
The assassination of the King of Chu came to an end, and a few months later Li Ke's body had recovered as before, at this time after he got off at Chengtianmen, Li Ke asked Li Qiang to wait, since the lesson of that day, Jiang Lan forced Li Qiang over, fortunately, the matter of the Chu Wangfu was about to be implemented recently, and Li Ke simply took Li Qiang. I took Xiao Guizi to the Taiji Hall of the Early Dynasty. There was still half a quarter to go, and Li Ke, like everyone else, could only wait in front of the Taiji Palace.
During the waiting period, Li Ke saluted everyone one by one. And Li Tai appeared in front of everyone not long after Li Ke arrived at the Taiji Palace, which gave Li Ke an illusion that Li Tai always liked to appear not long after his arrival. Now that he has been crowned King Wei, he is no longer as sluggish as when Li Chengqian was canonized as the crown prince at the beginning, he looks full of energy, kind and humble, which makes it easy for people to feel close to him.
It is no wonder that history records that even if he and Li Chengqian do not have the support of powerful ministers like the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, they can fight on an equal footing. The key is that his style makes those officials in the middle and lower reaches feel respected and aware of their opportunities, so they support Li Tai, and Li Tai can gain a firm foothold in the court. Li Tai's approach is very much in line with the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside, and there are only a few big people in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many of them who support Li Chengqian, even if he wins the support of some of them, he may not be able to fight the eldest grandson Wuji.
Therefore, he took the grassroots line and established feelings with middle- and lower-level officials. During Li Shimin's reign, the court paid great attention to discussion, and he liked to let his ministers discuss state affairs, so these officials were also a big force.
Thinking of this, Li Ke had to admire Li Tai's resourcefulness, he was not a simple character, he could come up with such a curved route to compete for storage. At this moment, Li Tai came to his side and saluted: "Qingque has seen the third brother, I heard about the third brother's last time, I haven't seen the third brother recently, and the younger brother misses it very much." ”
Li Ke said affectionately: "Thank you for my brother, the fourth brother is really heartfelt."
Li Tai said respectfully: "The third brother said this, the younger brother is really embarrassed, the younger brother has been too busy recently, and the younger brother will definitely come to visit him tomorrow!." The two chatted happily, and suddenly saw Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Wuji coming slowly, Li Ke and Li Tai saluted them, and Li Chengqian also said a few kind words to Li Ke.
At this time, Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu came slowly. The three of them had to stand up step by step, waiting for Li Shimin to meet and enter the court. The discussions in the early dynasties were all unresolved matters, so it was inevitable that there would be endless arguments, and Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Chengqian had no right to speak because they were still young.
Let them attend as soon as possible, it is just Li Shimin to cultivate their ability to govern Anbang. Therefore, they listened in great detail, and did not forget to think silently, so that they could be ready to answer Li Shimin's questions at any time. Li Ke lowered his head and only listened to Feng Deyi's slow words: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the emperor has been on the throne for three months, and the matter of this year name cannot be delayed, and a decision should be made as soon as possible." ”
Feng Deyi said this, everyone agreed, many of them were the masterminds and accomplices of the coup, they helped Li Shimin snatch the crown prince from Li Jiancheng's hands, and forced him to give up his throne to Li Shimin in the hands of Li Yuan.
Therefore, with the name of Wude, they always feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and now that Feng Deyi has mentioned it, how can they not be happy and not support it. Therefore, they all said loudly: "The emperor should determine the era name." ”
"I hope the emperor will make a decision as soon as possible, and he can't delay it." Suddenly, the hall was noisy by everyone.
Li Shimin really couldn't stand it, but he couldn't say anything, it was the court meeting that he stipulated could be discussed and not investigated.
Now, he wants to investigate these ministers for being too presumptuous in front of him, obviously showing that he is not generous enough, so he is silent with a blue face. At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up at the right time and shouted: "Above the court, what kind of system is it to quarrel like this." Everyone obviously didn't expect someone to scold, so they hurriedly shut up, and their eyes involuntarily looked at the eldest grandson Wuji. Especially Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu, they were very dissatisfied with the eldest grandson Wuji being so ignorant of current affairs, and they both scolded in their hearts, they didn't say anything about their own scholars, what qualifications do you have to yell at everyone.
Li Ke can see all this clearly, the eldest grandson Wuji yelled at the court to reprimand the ministers, Li Shimin not only did not blame him, but also appreciated him, which shows that Li Shimin is indeed very kind to the eldest grandson Wuji, no wonder history records that when Li Shimin wanted to establish himself as the crown prince, why didn't he discuss with everyone, he had to discuss with the eldest grandson Wuji alone, mainly because he trusted him too much.
Li Ke couldn't help but have a new understanding of the eldest grandson Wuji, so that his heart began to increase his vigilance. Li Shimin waited for everyone to calm down before he said slowly: "At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, there were a lot of big and small things, and I couldn't be busy. Therefore, the matter of this era name has been delayed until now, and since it was mentioned by Feng Deyi today, you all have to think about what era name I should use. ”
