Chapter 16: Emperor Li Ji
Li Xuan slowly withdrew from the Qianyuan Palace, and at the entrance of the main hall, an old eunuch was already waiting aside, and waved the dust: "King of Nanchang, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”
"Obey the order!" Li Xuan's expression was solemn, he straightened his sleeves, followed the old eunuch calmly all the way, and went all the way to the left.
Walking on the green bricks, Li Xuan recalled the whole process of meeting the queen Wu Cao before, and made sure that there were no omissions, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
For today's solo audience, he has been preparing for a long time, and he has also obtained the most accessible chess piece, that is, the local wealthy family.
A dynasty, the biggest ruling foundation is these local wealthy families, gate valve families, the biggest moths, also these local wealthy families, door valve families.
The former Sui Yang Guang only saw the latter point, which caused the world to collapse and become out of control.
A really smart person should be like their Emperor Taizong, the two are eclectic, both useful and defensive.
Wei Zheng's "water can carry a boat or overturn a boat", which is the correct attitude towards the gate valve family and the local wealthy family.
Li Xuan didn't say the second half of the sentence in front of the queen of heaven, otherwise, what he would face would not be appreciation, but fear.
However, Li Xuan didn't know that after he left, Ming Chongyan suddenly appeared and said a lot of good things about him.
But if he really let him know, he would be shocked.
Demon Daoming Chongyan has never been a good person, and being targeted by him has always been a big trouble.
……
Between the blue bricks and red tiles, a corner of the Zhenguan Hall faintly appears.
Now the real master of the Tang Empire, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, lives in Zhenguan Palace.
The day-to-day government affairs were handled by the Queen of Heaven Wu Cao in the Qianyuan Palace, while the Emperor lived in the Zhenguan Hall to recuperate, and only reviewed a small number of important recitals.
Since the advent of the Second Sage, both inside and outside the government and the opposition have long been accustomed to this way of handling the political situation.
Compared with the Qianyuan Palace, which is full of people, the Zhenguan Hall is much quieter, and the people who enter and exit are extremely careful, and try not to make a sound as much as possible.
Under the gate of the magnificent palace, Li Xuan followed behind the old eunuch and calmly and carefully entered the Zhenguan Palace.
Compared with the Qianyuan Palace, the Zhenguan Hall is much more cramped.
In particular, the inside is covered with yellow curtains, which not only shield the wind, but also the prying eyes.
Even Li Xuan's eyesight could only see a faint figure half-lying on the soft couch.
"Brother Li Xuan, King of Nanchang, knock to see the saint." Li Xuan waved his hands, and finally knelt directly in the main hall, and then bowed his head deeply.
For this emperor Li Zhi, who was able to firmly suppress Wu Zetian's ambitions, Li Xuan had great respect and admiration.
Only by truly being in this era can Li Xuan appreciate the terrifying rights possessed by the queen of heaven, Wu Cao.
All the government affairs, from big to small, almost everything has to pass through her hands.
The whole world is in her hands.
It's not that no one has raised objections, but for more than 20 years, all of those who objected have either been sent out or all of them are dead.
At this time, people found that although the Queen of Heaven was firmly in control of the regime, she was never able to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Because the one who really suppressed this extremely ambitious queen and really ruled the entire Tang Dynasty was still the Emperor Li Zhi.
Husband and wife are one, so why not allow others to beak.
"Ahem...... You've been to see the Queen. Li Zhi's voice was a little weak, but he could barely hear the calmness.
"Yes, the Queen of Heaven ordered the ministers to go to the Chongxuan Bureau, cooperate with the real mages, and try their best to perfect this water and land Dajiao puja ceremony."
"The queen will make the most of it." Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
In recent years, Li Zhi has paid considerable attention to the children of the royal family who have long-term development potential.
Li Xuan spent three years in Chang'an for some reason in her early years, and then returned to Pengzhou.
Although he is young, Li Xuan has maintained a good relationship with Chengdu Qingyang Temple, Shuzhou Qingcheng Mountain, and Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao over the years.
However, these are all superficial, Li Xuan's real ability lies in his very soberness.
What to do and what not to do, he knows, and he will do it.
"Brother Chen, this is the medicine that Longhu Mountain refined for His Majesty." Li Xuan took out the black lacquered wooden box from the python robe and stared at it with a dead gaze.
When he was in the Qianyuan Hall before, Li Xuan was a little nervous and forgot about it, but now that he thinks about it, it really didn't have any moths when Li Xuan met Wu Zetian.
Now it's the turn of Emperor Li Ji.
Behind the curtain next to him, a purple-clothed Taoist priest suddenly flashed out and took the black lacquered wooden box from Li Xuan's hand.
Between the swaying of the curtain, Li Xuan could see more figures.
"Let's talk about it, what good advice does the Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain have for my condition?" Li Zhi's voice was very indifferent and calm.
Li Xuan leaned over and replied: "Your Majesty, the old Heavenly Master has three suggestions, the best policy, I hope to use the pill to completely dissolve the wind and saliva, but the Heavenly Master thinks that this bottle of medicine can only alleviate it!" ”
The so-called saliva is cerebral thrombosis and cerebral obstruction, even after more than a thousand years, this is a medical problem.
Li Zhi nodded slightly, he didn't know how many famous doctors he had seen over the years, but he had never been able to completely cure his illness.
"The Heavenly Master said that similar magic medicines may be difficult to find in Datang Shenzhou, but the world is so big that it may not be found in other places."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan then continued: "Zhongce, the old heavenly master mentioned that he needed to take a little risk and find someone to completely exchange blood with His Majesty; The next policy, the most risky, needs to open the skull to remove the saliva from the saliva. ”
Li Xuan's visit to Longhu Mountain this time was very difficult to meet Zhang Tianshi, who had been in retreat for more than ten years, but there was not much he could do about the disease of wind and saliva, even Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.
The most thorough craniotomy of cerebral thrombosis, even in modern society, is also a major operation, and the risk is not small.
More than 1,000 years ago, I'm afraid not many people thought about it.
"In the eyes of Taoists, or doctors, the best policy is the best policy, just like when Hua Tuo opened Cao Cao's skull, and was finally rejected by Cao Cao, but Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao, and those people seem to have learned a lesson." Li Zhi laughed.
"As for the middle strategy, although the term "blood exchange" is new, in fact, I have not heard of it; The best policy is the most stable policy, but it is also the most ineffective policy for my illness, at most it is just procrastination, waiting for death, I understand. ”
"My brother is dead." Li Xuan fell to the ground heavily, his face was full of sorrow, and his body couldn't help but twitch a little.
Li Zhi's disease, even after a thousand years, is very difficult to treat.
More than ten years have passed since he was diagnosed, and it is not easy for him not to deteriorate.
"Your Majesty, the world is vast, not to mention the world that can be seen in front of me, I don't have it, you can go to the black-clothed food to find it, the black-clothed food doesn't have it, then go to the west to find it, not to mention the vast and endless sea, not to mention the depths of the far sea, the shallow sea and the bottom of the sea, the human race may not have all looked for it, as long as you are very careful, you can always find useful medicinal materials, please wait patiently."
"Patience." Li Zhi suddenly laughed, and looked at Li Xuan with some amusement: "Do you think that I haven't sent someone to look for it, otherwise, what do you think the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo and the Eastern Expedition to Japan all these years are for?" ”
Li Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he really couldn't believe the truth he had heard.
The most fundamental purpose of the Tang Dynasty's eastward expedition to Goguryeo, and even the naval battle with Japan, was to find medicine for Li Zhi.
Even thinking further, Li Zhi's father, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, he went to fight on the Korean Peninsula, probably for the same reason.
This is also the reason why he will personally drive the expedition, that is, he hopes to be able to quickly find the medicine to treat himself while conquering the enemy country.
Li Zhi is like this, and Li Shimin is the same, so what about Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui?
