Chapter 718: Li Shimin Awakens
In the Ganlu Palace, important concubines such as Concubine Yang and Concubine De all came, and there were also princes and princesses in Chang'an, all of whom rushed to the inner hall to wait, and ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiaogong waited in the outer hall, and as for the eldest grandson queen, she personally took care of Li Shimin in the dormitory.
In the dormitory of the Ganlu Palace, the imperial physician headed by Sun Simiao was busy nervously, and Li Shimin on the bed opened his eyes, showing a bit of thinking in his eyes, and it seemed that he had not completely recovered from the coma. Li Su and Li Zhi stood outside the door of the dormitory with nervous faces, although they really wanted to go in and talk to Li Shimin for a few words, but Sun Simiao told them not to disturb Li Shimin for the time being, and it would not be too late for them to go in after their diagnosis and treatment.
When they learned the news that Li Shimin woke up, Li Su and Li Zhi immediately rushed from the East Palace to the Ganlu Palace, and after getting the permission of the eldest grandson, they entered the dormitory together, but they were blocked by Sun Simiao, and they didn't know what the situation was inside? This made the two of them anxious to keep spinning around outside the door.
After a long while, Sun Simiao and the others were busy, and then came out with a look of surprise and reported to Li Su and Li Zhiyu: "Two Highnesses Qiyu, Your Majesty is very sober this time, now please let the two Highnesses in!" ”
"Great!" Li Zhi was the first to say excitedly, he was worried that his father would wake up this time and be as delirious as before, but he didn't expect to recover his sanity this time, which is good news.
Li Su and Li Zhi hurriedly rushed into the dormitory, but saw Li Shimin half-lying on the bed, although the health of the eldest grandson queen was not good, but at this time she seemed to be very energetic, and her eyes were full of hope. Not only did he sit on the edge of Li Shimin's bed, but he also held a bowl of freshly boiled medicine in his hand. is carefully feeding Li Shimin to take it.
"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" Li Su and Li Zhi saw that although Li Shimin looked extremely haggard, his eyes were smart. They had apparently regained their senses, which made them both very excited.
Li Shimin, who was half-lying, saw his two sons come in, and there was a smile on his face, especially when he saw Li Su, who he hadn't seen for many years, he looked even more excited, and his hands were forced to sit up straight, and then he said hoarsely: "Get up, you've worked hard for this time." ”
"Thank you, Father!" Li Su and Li Zhi said in unison, and then stood behind Empress Changsun. After Li Shimin drank the medicine, Empress Changsun instructed the three of them not to talk for too long, and then took the people down.
When there were only three of them left in the dormitory, the old Li Shimin first looked at Li Zhi, and then carefully looked at Li Su, who had not seen him for more than ten years, and finally said: "Liulang, when we said goodbye to father and son, I didn't expect that when we met again, we would be in this situation." ”
"Sons are not filial. Please punish the Emperor! When Li Su heard Li Shimin's words, he couldn't help but reddened the corners of his eyes. When he first left Datang, he sometimes really wanted to come back, but later as the power in his hands was built up step by step. His identity is also changing little by little, and he is carrying more and more things on his body, he is no longer just His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. It was the emperor of another country, which made him not know how to face Li Shimin. So I simply gave up the idea of coming back later, if it weren't for Li Shimin's serious illness this time. I'm afraid he won't come back.
"Forget it, Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, I also know your difficulties, so I never wanted to force you to come back, but since I came this time, I will stay for a while longer, your mother and concubine are also old, and I hope to have children and grandchildren by my side." Li Shimin spoke again, but he used Concubine Yang as an excuse to let Li Su stay for a few more days, in fact, he wanted to spend more time with Li Su.
"Father, rest assured, Daqi is the closest to Datang, and now the transportation is developed, some government affairs can also be sent to deal with, and the son has brought the whole family this time, at least for half a year before going back!" Li Su naturally knew what Li Shimin meant, so he immediately spoke. Now that Li Shimin has sobered up, his health is still very bad, to put it mildly, with Li Shimin's current situation, he may not be there at any time, as a son, Li Su will naturally not leave at this time.
"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then turned his head to Li Zhi and said, "Pheasant slave, I heard your mother say just now that you should have handled the government affairs for your father during this time, but you were a little absent-minded because of my affairs, this is not the way to be a king, but you are still young, so this is only this time, you must not make the same mistake again in the future!" ”
Hearing his father's words a little harshly, Li Zhi also lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "What my father taught me is that my son knows that he is wrong!" ”
In fact, Li Shimin didn't really blame Li Zhi, because he knew that although his son was not outstanding in other aspects, his only advantage was filial piety.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin quickly asked Li Zhi again with a pleasant face: "Pheasant slave, I heard that this morning, the courtiers quarreled again in your East Palace, what is the reason?" ”
Li Shimin was well-informed, and neither Li Su nor Li Zhi expressed any surprise, because they both knew that Li Shimin had a secret intelligence agency in his hands, and in some respects he was stronger than the four guards in Wu Meiniang's hands.
I saw that Li Zhi immediately opened his mouth and told the reason for the quarrel between the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jingheng, and Li Shimin listened and pondered, and after a long time, he spoke: "Liulang handled it well, this matter is too important, it is not a court meeting to decide, in addition, you also need people to wave the flag for yourself, it's time to transfer Jingzong and them back." ”
Hearing that his father finally agreed to transfer Xu Jingzong and these people back, Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was still worried that he would be blamed by his father.
Next, Li Shimin asked some more about the affairs of the court, and Li Zhi also answered them one by one, and Li Zhi also reported on the handling of some important government affairs. Li Shimin was also quite satisfied with Li Zhi's handling method, so he really praised him a few words in the end.
Considering that Li Shimin had just woken up and his body was very weak, after chatting about business, Li Su and Li Zhi chatted a few more gossips with Li Shimin, and then got up to say goodbye, so that Li Shimin could have a good rest.
When Li Su and Li Zhi walked to the outer hall of the Ganlu Palace, they found that Concubine Yang and the others had left, probably because they got the news of Empress Changsun and knew that Li Shimin should not see anyone again today. However, there are still five people who have not left, namely Son, Changshan, Xincheng, Shengping and Sitang, among all the princesses, only five of them are not married, and they are usually the most loved by Li Shimin, so their father is seriously ill, and they are also the most worried.
"Sixth brother, how is my father, just now the queen mother just said that the father is awake, let's go back and wait for news, I see that the queen mother's health is not good, so I didn't dare to ask more." Seeing Li Su and Li Zhi coming out, the son was the first to run up and ask.
Compared with a few years ago, my son is now a twenty-year-old girl, with a slender, curvaceous figure, and a little more maturity on her beautiful face. This reminded Li Su of the little girl who gave him osmanthus cake as a gift in the school, and there was a feeling of being separated from the world.
"Don't worry, my father's spirit is very good, and he also asked us about some government affairs, but my ninth brother and I were worried that he was too bothered, so we chatted and came out, after all, my father and emperor have just woken up, and they need to rest more, maybe tomorrow my father will summon you!" Li Su looked at his younger sisters, and then said to his son.
The son has always believed in Li Su the most, so he was also relieved after hearing it. However, Li Su still underestimated Li Shimin's love for his daughter, and as soon as his words fell, a small yellow door ran out of the dormitory behind him, and then bowed to them and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites a few princesses in!" ”
Hearing that his father would summon him now, the youngest Shengping and Sitang both cheered, and they didn't care to say goodbye to Li Su and Li Zhi, and rushed into the dormitory with a silver bell-like laughter, while the son, Changshan, and Xincheng looked at Li Su with some joy.
Li Su and Li Zhi smiled helplessly and said, "Go ahead, but don't talk to your father for too long, and persuade him to rest early!" ”
"Hmm!" The three girls excitedly agreed, and walked quickly into the dormitory to visit their father.
After watching his younger sisters enter, Li Zhi asked Li Su as he walked: "Sixth brother, I see that my father's spirit is good today, coupled with the careful treatment of Sun Simiao and other great powers, presumably my father should slowly get better, right?" ”
However, Li Su sighed and replied: "It's hard to say, after all, my father is old, and his body's recovery power can't be compared with our young people, and this time it's an injury and illness, and it's very troublesome to treat, I've asked Mengxue to bring the most skilled doctors from Taiwan's medical college, today I will arrange a time for them to meet with Sun Simiao, discuss the condition, and then find a day for them to treat their father and see if they can find a good way to treat?" ”
Li Zhi could only nod silently after hearing this, in fact, he also knew that although Li Shimin was awake, he couldn't explain anything, after all, in the previous time, Li Shimin had also been awake several times, but he quickly passed out in a coma, and his condition had recurred several times.
The two chatted while talking, and soon walked to the front hall of the Ganlu Palace, but Li Su looked around, but said a little strangely: "Hey, why did Sun Simiao and those imperial doctors disappear?" ”
Li Zhi also found at this time that none of the imperial doctors who were ready to treat his father in the front hall were gone, and only a few palace maids were left.
Just when Li Su wanted to ask the palace maid next to him about the whereabouts of Sun Simiao and the others, suddenly a palace maid hurriedly ran in, saw the two of them, and immediately brightened her eyes, and quickly rushed to them and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, the queen is invited!"
