In the 11th year of Zhenguan, September 17.

The Ming Dynasty, Sun Moon Mountain.

Since the beginning of September, Sun Moon Mountain has begun to warm up.

After all, it was the wedding of King Ming, and Li Chengqian not only sent invitations to Datang, but also sent news to surrounding countries.

Not to mention the countries of the Western Regions, even the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries, Li Chengqian did not let go.

Of course, he has no intention of fighting the autumn wind against these countries.

In the final analysis, the Ming court is now an independent and sound country, and it also needs to make achievements in diplomacy.

Those people in Chang'an, there is a saying that is actually right, no matter how powerful an empire is, it also needs the support of neighboring countries to demonstrate the strength of the empire.

Moreover, Li Chengqian is not just to let all countries set off the strength of the Ming Dynasty, he also has a deeper meaning.

And the Tang Dynasty's mission is more interesting, Li Xiaogong originally made arrangements, but because of Qin Qiong, Li Er simply let Qin Qiong serve as the deputy envoy to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the position of the chief envoy has to be qualified by Li Xiaogong.

After all, it is Li Chengqian's wedding, and the royal family must have a representative figure.

At the beginning, in fact, the eldest grandson also had this thought, but after thinking about it, she still didn't come over after all, after all, there was already a gap between Li Er and Li Chengqian, the father and son, and if she left Chang'an, it would inevitably let people with hearts take advantage of the loopholes.

Although she doesn't have any real power, as long as she is alive, she can deter many young people.

Especially now, Li Ke is sitting in the position of Yin of Chang'an Mansion, which makes her even more concerned.

Although Li Ke couldn't make much of a storm, Li Er's attitude made her a little worried.

As a mother, how could she want to see her son fighting with her man's father and son?

The gaze returned to Sun Moon Mountain.

Daming Hospital.

Since Qin Qiong arrived at Sun Moon Mountain, he was directly admitted to Daming Hospital, and Li Xiaogong, who came with him at that time, couldn't help but sigh at the great changes in Sun Moon Mountain.

It was not the first time that Li Xiaogong had sent an envoy to Daming, but he was still quite shocked.

After all, there is indeed a world of difference between the Sun Moon Mountain today and the Sun Moon Mountain he saw at the beginning.

Today's Sun Moon Mountain does have the appearance of Tongdu Dayi.

As for Daming Hospital, it shocked a group of officials in Datang, whether it should be said or not, Daming Hospital is larger than the scale of Datang Imperial Doctors.

Especially in Chang'an, the hard-to-find glass has almost become the standard in Daming Hospital.

However, what shocked everyone the most was that among the so many patients in Daming Hospital, ordinary people accounted for the majority.

This almost turned their previous perception upside down.

According to their understanding, Daming Hospital is aimed at the Datang Imperial Doctor, but in the Datang Imperial Doctor, when will ordinary people come to seek medical advice?

On this day, Li Tai came to Daming Hospital as usual to visit Qin Qiong, who was recuperating in Daming Hospital, and saw Qin Qiong sitting in a rocking chair under the shade of a tree, so he immediately asked Qin Huaidao, who was waiting on the side: "Has Yiguogong's physical condition improved recently?" ”

This time he sent the envoy to Daming, and Li Tai also came.

Although in terms of identity alone, he is a cut above Li Xiaogong, but after all, it is Li Chengqian's wedding, and his seniority as a younger brother is not qualified, so he is also a deputy envoy.

Strictly speaking, although there is only one main envoy in this mission, there are three deputy envoys.

One represents the military general group, the other represents the civilian official group, and Li Tai is the representative of Li Er and his wife.

As for the envoy Li Xiaogong, he naturally represents the Li family's royal family.

When Qin Huaidao heard this, he shook his head and said: "Where is the effect so fast, Dean Sun said before that my father's illness is because of the root of the disease left over from years of war, and there is no cure, so I can only recuperate slowly." ”

Li Tai is also clear about this.

Over the years, Qin Qiong has often said to people when she is sick: "I have been fighting horses all my life, I have experienced more than 200 battles and battles, and I have been seriously injured repeatedly, and I have shed a lot of blood before and after, how can I not get sick?" ”

And his statement has also been recognized by everyone.

Even Li Er was quite emotional when he heard this, which was also the reason why Li Er was willing to let Qin Qiong come to Daming for medical treatment.

"When this king turns around, he will go to his brother, and he will ask his brother to instruct Daming Hospital, and he will do his best to recuperate for Yiguo Gong." Li Tai said, "Yi Guogong has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, which is undeniable to anyone. ”

He didn't want to brush up on his presence in front of Qin Qiong.

Should I say it or not, Qin Qiong's injury really made every Tang Dynasty person sigh for it, which is why Qin Qiong is admired.

Secondly, he also needs a reason to go to Li Chengqian to have a warm up.

He really didn't have the idea of competing with Li Chengqian for that position for the time being, even if Li Ke was moved, he didn't have it.

It's not that he doesn't have that ambition, the main reason is that there are two, one, Li Tai is still filial, especially to the eldest grandson.

Now that he and Li Chengqian are fighting, the most difficult person is probably the eldest grandson.

Second, he is also smart, of course, this is the main thing.

He knew very well that with Li Chengqian's current power, it would be difficult for him to win.

Don't look at the officials in the Chang'an court, they are all wary of Daming, but these guys will not give up Daming easily.

After all, if Li Chengqian can return to Chang'an and ascend to Dabao in the future, Datang's strength will swell to a terrifying point in an instant.

Moreover, not to mention Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, the nobles of Chang'an, how many families have no heirs in Daming?

The person they are really guarding against now is actually not Li Chengqian, but the group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

The people who really pose a threat to them are these guys!

With so much information combined, he has almost no chance of winning, so why should he fight Li Chengqian at this time?

As for Li Ke, Li Ke didn't figure it out, but Li Ke couldn't help it, he wasn't the only one, there was a group of former Sui ministers behind him.

Just like Li Er at the beginning, although Li Er also wanted to do that at that time, if there was no promotion from the people of the Qin Palace, he would have thought in vain.

"Then there is His Highness Lao." Qin Huaidao immediately bowed down and said.

He's polite, but he's not warm.

Li Tai's idea, he didn't plan to analyze it, and he didn't want to mix it, he only hoped that Qin Qiong's body could be healed as soon as possible.

This is the fortunate thing of his Qin family.

As for who will be in that position in the future, don't say it, he really doesn't care.

Before coming, the two fathers and sons had discussed that the Qin family would not take any side in this matter.

When Li Tai heard this, he smiled and left.

And as soon as he left, Qin Qiong, who had been slightly closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "King Yue is getting smarter and smarter.

It's okay, in this way, it saves my grandfather a lot of words. ”

He was worried that Li Tai would come up with something excessive, so he kept pretending to sleep, so although it was a bit rude, he couldn't find much fault with it.

After being involved in the Xuanwumen Incident, he really didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne again.

"Aya, this Sun Moon Mountain is really refreshing." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, "Before I came, the child never thought that in this bitter cold land in the northwest, there would be such a glorious Tongdu Dayi, which directly subverted the child's impression of the northwest. ”

Qin Qiong smiled when he heard this: "This is where His Highness is powerful. ”

The highness he is talking about here naturally refers to Li Chengqian.

"In just a few years, Daming is already enough to compare with Datang, what a great achievement." Qin Qiong continued, "Back then, it was not so easy for my father to follow His Majesty to pacify the world.

Your Highness, we have grown to a point where we are extremely unfamiliar.

By the way, if you meet Your Highness in the future, don't be like in the past, Your Highness today, you can treat it as Your Majesty. ”

They have been coming to Sun Moon Mountain for a while, but they haven't seen Li Chengqian's shadow yet.

Of course, now that Li Chengqian is busy with the wedding, everyone can understand this.

Qin Huaidao nodded when he heard this, and said: "That's natural, although His Highness is still His Highness, but in fact, it's just a ceremony away, with the prestige of His Highness now, in fact, he may not really see that position in Datang, because His Highness can sit in that position by himself at any time." ”

"That being said, but His Highness won't do that, at least not for a short time." Qin Qiong said with a smile, "If His Royal Highness ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in Daming, although it is reasonable in any way, but once this is the case, His Highness wants to return to Datang to inherit the Great Treasure, and there is almost no such possibility."

Unless ......"

He didn't say anything more.

Since ancient times, where has an emperor succeeded the emperor?

Therefore, even though the Ming Dynasty does have the prototype of the empire now, Li Chengqian has never ascended the throne as emperor, and it is also for this reason.

Of course, Li Chengqian's own words are not just for this reason.

"Yo, Yi Guogong is in good spirits today, it seems that this Daming Hospital really deserves its reputation." At this moment, Li Xiaogong also came over.

Seeing Qin Qiong's blushing face, he immediately teased.

Qin Qiong said with a smile: "The prince is right, this Daming Hospital is indeed worthy of its reputation, especially Dean Sun, who is indeed worthy of a famous doctor, the old man's body has finally improved a lot." ”

Whether it gets better or not, it can be effective in just a few days.

But since it's on other people's territory, it's also appropriate to praise a few words.

Serve a bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold people.

"That's good." Li Xiaogong also smiled, "If Yiguo Gong's body can get better, it will also be a blessing for my Datang!" ”

The purpose of his trip was very simple, he really came to see Qin Qiong's physical condition.

After all, at their age, it is common to have a minor illness, if Da Ming can really cure the root of Qin Qiong's illness, won't they have one more hope for the future?

Sometimes it's not that they're afraid of death, it's just that if they live longer, they can bless their own family for one more day.

That's why they're willing to survive.

Otherwise, with the glory of their horses' lives, how could they be willing to let others see their weak appearance?

"This Daming Hospital is indeed amazing." Li Xiaogong said again, "The old man just took a turn in the hospital, it was really not small, and there were many departments in different categories, if you really want to talk about it, this is indeed a paradise for patients."

No matter what the disease, there are professional doctors to consult, and at this point, it is much stronger than my Datang Tai Doctor. ”

Where have they seen such a hospital, it can be said that Daming Hospital has repeatedly refreshed their cognition.

"yes." Qin Qiong also sighed, "Daming Hospital is indeed worthy of the benevolence of the doctors, especially for the common people, it is no different, in this regard, it is not too much stronger than my Datang Tai Doctor."

Although my Datang Taiyi will also go to the people to consult, but that is only occasional, where is it like Daming Hospital, no matter who it is, as long as the body is slightly unwell, there are doctors at twelve o'clock to consult and prescribe medicine for you, the condition is slightly more serious, and you can even live in the hospital, there are special nurses, day and night to observe your condition.

Hospital hospital, they are really worthy of these two words! ”

During this time, Qin Qiong's stay in Daming Hospital was not for nothing.

But the more I know, the more I admire.

Indeed, this Daming Hospital is indeed friendly enough to the people.

Of course, he didn't know how much time and effort Daming Hospital had put into doing this in the past three years.

Li Xiaogong also nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't." Nowadays, there is not only Sun Moon Mountain.

The entire Daming Dynasty has built Daming hospitals in various counties and prefectures, but if the medical conditions are concerned, it is indeed not as good as Riyue Mountain.

However, this is also in further development, after all, if you want to cover the entire Daming, Daming Hospital still has a long way to go. But at least, they have taken the first step, which is what my Datang can't compare. ”

"There's no way around it." Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "The national conditions are different, and the situation in Daming and Datang cannot be generalized.

Daming can do this, it is because His Royal Highness has absolute power, in Daming, no matter what, His Highness can decide what he says.

This is the supreme authority of the founding monarch.

On the other hand, in the Tang Dynasty, the forces are intertwined, everyone has their own demands, and it is difficult for His Majesty to do it. ”

"Yes." Li Xiaogong also smiled, "After all, Daming is from scratch, like a blank piece of paper, at the mercy of His Highness."

And His Royal Highness also seized the opportunity to do this before the various forces of the Ming Dynasty formed a climate, compared to which Datang was much more embarrassed. ”

Speaking of this, both of them sighed.

Although the Ming Dynasty was rebuilt on the basis of Tuyuhun, Li Chengqian really broke everything that was original, and almost established the Ming Dynasty after breaking it.

But this is not the case in Datang, even if the Tang Dynasty was founded, there are shadows of various forces, which makes Li Er's rights not like Li Chengqian.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, no one dares to guarantee that the emperor will be right, so curbing imperial power has become a common practice since ancient times.

"By the way, Duke Yiguo, His Highness will get married the day after tomorrow. At that time, it is also necessary for the Duke of Yi Guo to attend His Royal Highness's wedding. Li Xiaogong didn't mention this stubble again, but changed the topic.

When Qin Qiong heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded.

Li Chengqian's wedding, he naturally wanted to attend.

……

At the same time, in the Daming Palace.

Because the day after tomorrow is the day of Li Chengqian's wedding, it is quite busy in the entire Daming Palace.

As the head of the inner servants of Daming Palace, Gonggong Yuan was even more busy with his feet on the ground.

And in the bedrooms of several princesses, everyone is also making final preparations.

But speaking of which, they have been preparing for several years for this experience.

At this moment, Su Shi gently stroked his wedding dress with his hand, and his face was full of tenderness.

Speaking of which, she has been in Daming for some years, but after all, she is still a little out of place with Li Chengqian.

She is different from Wu Mei, the Hou family, even Qi Lingna and Murong Wanqiu.

This difference is in character, because he was born in a scholarly family, and he received Confucian education since he was a child, so his personality is more gentle.

But this gentle personality also makes her unable to integrate into Li Chengqian's world.

Several other people occasionally look for Li Chengqian to be coquettish or something, but she has never had one.

Something like that couldn't happen to her.

As for being as bold as Murong Wanqiu, going directly to Li Chengqian's bedroom to stage a drama against the grain, there is no need to think about it.

And Li Chengqian is busy with things, and rarely takes the initiative to come to her dormitory.

Of course, Li Chengqian rarely goes to other people's bedrooms.

However, those guys often dangled in front of Li Chengqian, but Su Shi was an exception.

She felt that disturbing Li Chengqian's handling of government affairs was not the performance of a good wife.

This also made others feel that Li Chengqian didn't want to see her, and she had no one to support her in Daming, so although she didn't say that she had been tormented in the past few years, she was still a little aggrieved.

"Princess, the day after tomorrow will be married, this wedding dress will be very beautiful on the princess." Beside him, a personal maid smiled.

When Su Shi heard this, he waved his hand: "It's not clear who the princess is." ”

Although they are all called princesses, it is because there was no official wedding before, everyone calls it that, but once they get married, it is really difficult to say who is the princess.

Moreover, she may not be able to fight if she is weak in Daming.

Not to mention others, even the Hou family, and the support of those young sons of the noble family in Chang'an.

As for Murong Wanqiu and Qili Lina, they were even more ruthless, and there were two behemoths standing behind them.

What does she have?

Even if it is Wu Mei, although she is alone, the problem is that she has a good relationship with Changle! In this Sun Moon Mountain, as long as there is the support of Changle, not to mention anything else, at least no one dares to underestimate it.

"The princess is too worried, this princess will definitely not be someone else's." The maid laughed.

Su Shi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can marry him, you will be content, after all, you have no identity, and you have to be jealous." ”

These words can be said to be full of her helplessness.

In the other dormitories, it was much more enjoyable.

The personalities of several of them are already a little more out-of-the-box, but they don't have as much sentimentality as Su's.

Of course, except for Wu Mei, the rest of the supporters are also in full swing for them outside.

The person who everyone wants to get to that position in the future is the one they support.

In the end, what they are planning is not that position, but the future prince.

This also makes the recent Sun Moon Mountain, you can see the officials of the various ministries of the Ming Dynasty getting together for a drink or two, even if the envoys of various countries are looking for them to win over and express their cordiality, they don't pay much attention.

And Yu Shinan, the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was not idle, and he was also lobbying many people to support the Su family.

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian got married, and everyone was busier than him.

Of course, Li Chengqian was not busy with this matter.

He really didn't pay much attention to this matter, for him, marriage was just a political task, used to eliminate the hostility of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, he is dealing with the affairs of the Great Zhao Palace.

Now, Li Yuan's funeral is over, and all that remains is how to take over Qingshuichuan's affairs smoothly.

He said to Li Yuanjing before that he would exchange land for him, but Li Yuanjing was also a ruthless person, and directly said that he didn't need to, he was willing to give the entire Qingshui River to Li Chengqian, if Li Chengqian was inconvenient, he could also nominally help Li Chengqian keep an eye on it.

However, this is not the best result for Li Chengqian.

He wasn't greedy for such a piece of land in the first place, after all, the current Ming Dynasty is big enough. What he wants is to have a buffer zone with Datang.

Therefore, Li Yuanjing's hand made him a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness, why don't you just take Qingshui River." Liu San didn't understand anything, so he immediately went there and was foolish.

Li Chengqian glanced at him and didn't speak.

Now that he has won the Qingshui River, it is just chicken ribs for him.

After pondering for a long time, Li Chengqian finally waved his hand and said, "That's it, tell King Zhao that this matter will be discussed after the king's wedding." ”

Li Yuanjing's attitude was too resolute, and he really felt like a dog biting a hedgehog.

And at this time, Li Yuanjing was actually in Riyue Mountain, but this time he came with his cronies such as Linzhou and Gu Jianzhang.

After all, it is Li Chengqian's wedding, and he always has to come to congratulate him.

As for the Qingshui River, hehe, he knows very well that without his Qingshui River, it is more peaceful......

At this moment, Lin Zhou asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, why do we want to give away the Qingshui River?" ”

"Give it away?" Li Yuanjing shook his head and said, "Do you think this king is willing?" ”

"Didn't Da Ming say to exchange land with us? Change? Lin Zhou was still puzzled.

Li Yuanjing sighed and said, "Change? Changed to become a living target for their father and son? Can you fight the Tang Dynasty, or can you repel the Ming Dynasty?

In the final analysis, we are still useless, Da Zhao does not have the strength to contend with either side, and will only become a pawn for both of them.

When the two of them really fight in our Dazhao, who do you think will really suffer? ”

He is not a fool, since Li Chengqian first proposed this condition, he understood what was going on.

It's just that he didn't have a choice.

As for saying that now he is offering the entire Shimizu River, hehe, it is just a move to retreat.
