Li Chengqian shook his head, then picked up the wine glass and touched it with Li Ke: "You just understand me." The eldest brother didn't say much. ”

Li Ke wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, anyway, let's see the situation first, this time it is bound to let the eldest brother go, if it was before, Li Ke may have said something for his eldest brother, let him stay in Chang'an, and it is indeed of little use for him to go to the front line.

But now, Li Ke won't say this, let his eldest brother go, after he goes, the Tang Dynasty will completely win the prestige of Goguryeo and directly deduct it directly to his eldest brother, which has nothing to do with him Li Ke.

During the banquet, everyone didn't say anything else, they just chatted, and they were naturally very happy this year.

The fifteen days of the first month passed quickly, saying that it was fifteen days, but in fact, on the eighth day, most of the low-level officials had already begun to take turns on duty, and after the Shangyuan Festival was the new imperial examination, so on the eve of the Spring Festival, Chang'an had been filled with countless scholars.

In addition to being in charge of the first imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, various departments are still preparing for the Tang expedition to Goguryeo, especially the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an This time, in addition to the army that needs to defend Chang'an, the other armies will be completely drawn and go directly to the border such as Youzhou.

It's just that the Tang Dynasty has not yet announced it to the outside world, after all, the most important thing now is the imperial examination.

Li Ke really didn't interfere in the imperial examination, he conducted the examination in the traditional way, he didn't care about the subjects and topics of the exam, and it was Li Tai and Guozijian who were in charge.

The entire imperial examination will last for half a month, and it will be completely completed in early February.

It can be said that the entire first month to February is the busiest period of time in the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone is busy, even his father is busy without touching the ground, Li Ke went to the Xuanzheng Hall several times.

Every time he passed, he saw Li Shimin writing something at the desk, and when Li Ke came over to report the results of the imperial examination to his father, he came in and happened to see Sun Simiao also there.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ke did not ask in person, but after reporting to Li Shimin, he ran out again.

Sun Simiao didn't leave, probably because he knew that Li Ke was going to ask and was waiting for him outside.

"Sun Zhenren, what's wrong with my father?" Li Ke was a little anxious, he really didn't know about it, and it was a coincidence today. Anyone can get sick, but Lao Li can't get sick.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has nothing to do, but you may have overwritten in recent times, and your wrist meridians are a little swollen, take a break, massage for a few more days, I am giving some external herbs, and it will be recovered in about seven days." Sun Simiao shook his head and said.

"And Your Majesty hasn't been resting very well lately, and his spirit is obviously a little anxious." Sun Simiao added.

Overwriting? Mental anxiety? Li Ke was stunned for a moment, indeed, during this time, Li Shimin heard that he was reviewing the chapters every day until late, so can he not write much? And Li Ke knows that Li Shimin is different from his review, Li Ke can write a review at most, and many times draw a circle instead.

If it weren't for the fear that Lao Li would beat him, Li Ke was ready to engrave three chapters. One moment: read and agreed. One moment: disagree. One moment: remand for retrial. It was only after thinking about it that it was a bit outrageous, so he held back.

And Lao Li has always been able to write a lot of criticisms, including handling opinions, and even criticizing officials' handling plans.

As for mental anxiety, Li Ke thought of what Lao Li said before that he often dreamed of Du Ruhui.

It seems that Lao Li doesn't care about Goguryeo on the surface, but he still attaches great importance to it in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.

This...... That's not going to work. It's just that I made a bet with Lao Li before, and if he wants to go to Taishan, he will have to take Goguryeo, and now he will definitely not go if he is asked to go.

"This, then Sun Zhenren, you have to worry too much, you can't let my father fall ill." Li Ke said in a low voice.

Sun Simiao glanced at Li Ke, and said helplessly: "I'll try my best, but it shouldn't be too sick, Your Majesty's health is still good, but it doesn't matter if you have written too much recently." ”

Speaking of this, Sun Simiao hesitated, in fact, Your Majesty, this is more like the result of too much force, that is, some people don't do something for a while, but suddenly they start to do things with high intensity, and their bodies must be unbearable all of a sudden. It's the same with writing.

If it is like this every day, it should not be so serious, he asked Chang Lin, it is about His Majesty's health, Chang Lin will definitely not lie. According to Chang Lin, Li Shimin's rest time during this period was actually enough, and the writing time was not as long as he imagined.

That's a bit excessive......

However, Sun Simiao was also a little curious, what His Majesty was writing about.

"It's okay to let Your Majesty rest more, besides, isn't most of the political affairs handled by Your Highness now?" Sun Simiao asked.

"I'm dealing with it, but a lot of it will also be given to my father, and my father will often annotate it himself, and as for the specific implementation, it is all after comparing with me before deciding whose implementation to follow." Li Ke shook his head and said.

"Oh......" Sun Simiao lengthened his tone, then nodded and said, "Then Your Highness, persuade Your Majesty more, there are still things in my school, I will go back first, I have already explained to the Shang Pharmacy here in the palace." ”

"Well, thank you, grandson." Li Ke gave Sun Simiao a salute.

"Gone." Sun Simiao didn't say anything, and turned around and left directly.

Looking at the back of Lao Sun leaving, Li Ke couldn't help but sigh a little, Lao Sun is not a person who can live to be one hundred and forty years old, you see, he is now a hundred years old, and his legs and feet are too dexterous, walking so fast.

After asking Sun Simiao, after hesitating, Li Ke decided to go back to comfort Lao Li and appease him. Anyone can fall, but Lao Li can't, his father must be healthy and live a long life, preferably in 80 years.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is back."

Xuanzheng Palace, peeping behind the crack in the door, Chang Lin, who saw Li Ke walking back from a distance, hurriedly ran into the back room and said.

"Hurry up, hurry up, pack up the things that should be packed, you can't talk about this today." Li Shimin looked at Chang Lindao warnly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, when you were fishing yesterday, there was also a table next to you, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, you were a little too hard when you fished and injured your wrist, but there was no one else at that time, you were writing later, and there was some pain." Chang Lin said in a low voice.

"Well, just remember." Li Shimin nodded.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Li Shimin immediately coughed dryly and said loudly: "Chang Lin, you bring me the pieces that Li Ke just brought over, this is a matter of the imperial examination, I have to review it first." ”

"Your Majesty, Sun Zhenren said it, and he also specially explained to the minister, your wrist can't write recently, and the minister can't make your condition worse." Chang Lin's face did not change, changed his position, and bowed to Li Shimin.
