Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Watching the 17-year-old third brother leave, Li Min couldn't help but sigh. Although he had just met him, he could feel the care and concern of an elder brother for his younger brother from Li Ke. In his previous life, he was the only son in the family.  He had never felt this kind of brotherhood of flesh and blood, but the brotherhood shown by Li Ke today deeply moved him, making Li Min identify with this brother of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.  However, the thought of Yingguo's brother dying unjustly at a young age made Li Min feel a little uncomfortable.

    However, Li Min then thought again. Since he has become Li Min, the king of Liang, the fate of the king of Liang in history has also changed. The fate of the people around him should also change accordingly. This is like that  Just like the famous butterfly effect, the little butterfly that traveled through time fluttered its wings, and the hurricane caused was enough to blow up the original history. As his elder brother, Li Ke, there was no reason why his fate should not change. As for the change,  For better or worse, you can't say for sure?

    "Wen'er, go find Gao Zhong, I have something to ask him!" Li Min ordered immediately after returning to the living room. He sat down and took a sip of tea, but frowned and spat it out. It was like the tea that people in the Tang Dynasty drank.  It is tea cake. The so-called tea cake is to pick the tea leaves, steam them and mash them into mud, and then make them into tea cakes. When drinking, knock off a piece and put it in a teapot to cook. Salt is usually added, and sometimes even  Things like onions, ginger, dates, orange peels, etc. are also added, which makes Li Min, who is used to drinking clear soup tea from later generations, very uncomfortable.

    "It seems that if you have time, you have to fry some tea leaves." Li Min said to himself.

    Not long after, a middle-aged white and fat eunuch wearing a chamberlain uniform walked in with Wen'er. This eunuch was the Gao Chong that Li Min was looking for.  However, since Li Tian woke up from time travel, Li Tian, ??as a descendant, felt very awkward when he saw a eunuch wandering around in front of him every day. After Wen'er and Hua'er came, Gao Zhong was promoted to the post by Li Min.  He appointed the internal general manager and put him in charge of all the internal affairs of Prince Liang's palace. The work of serving him was handed over to Wen'er and Hua'er.

    "Slaveslave joins Your Highness!" Gao Zhong said in a high-pitched voice unique to eunuchs. His voice was slightly trembling, and there was also a cry, and he seemed to be very excited.

    "Gao Zhong, what's wrong with you? Does anyone dare to bully you?" Although Li Min didn't like eunuchs, this Gao Zhong was one of the first people he came into contact with after coming to Datang, so he couldn't help but be curious when he saw him like this.  asked.

    "No~ no one bullies this slave. It's just that this slave has been following His Highness for more than ten years and has been almost inseparable. His Highness promoted this slave to be the general manager a few days ago, but he can no longer follow His Highness as before. When I saw His Highness today, I couldn't help but feel so excited.  I hope Your Highness will forgive this old slave for being disrespectful." Gao Zhong became excited again when he said this, and simply crawled on the ground and burst into tears.

    However, Li Min was so frightened by Gao Zhong's "true confession" that he had goosebumps all over his body. If the other party was a young girl, these words would sound very comfortable, but you, a fat eunuch who is half-year-old, can't do the same.  Let me confess, this is a bit unacceptable.  However, they were also sincere, so Li Min could only hold his nose and admit it, and even tried to comfort Gao Zhong with some words of comfort, finally getting Gao Zhong to stand up and reply.

    "Gao Chong, you should know better about things in the palace. Now tell me how your mother's illness is going?" Li Min said with a serious face.  Although Queen Changsun is not Li Min's biological mother, she is the queen, so Li Min still calls her mother.  Just now, Li Ke said that Queen Changsun's condition had worsened. This gave Li Min a flash of inspiration and thought of something. If he seizes this opportunity, he might be able to please the emperor's father, and he might not have to travel so far to do anything.  The governor of Yizhou.

    "Yes!" Gao Zhong didn't expect that Li Min was asking about Queen Changsun, so he thought for a moment before answering.  "Reporting to Your Highness, since the eldest Queen Sun went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat with His Majesty Taizong, she contracted an illness. Although she has been diagnosed and treated by imperial doctors in many ways, her condition has been getting better and worse. At the beginning of this year, the Queen's condition suddenly worsened. I heard from the palace  The chamberlain saidsaid" When Gao Zhong said this, his tone became hesitant, he raised his head and glanced at Li Min, as if he didn't dare to speak.

    "It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. This matter is very important!" Li Min said. Gao Chong and Gao Chong lived in the palace since they were young, and they only left the palace when he became king of Liang. They had many old acquaintances in the palace.  , who was the most knowledgeable about the news in the palace, so Li Min found him to inquire about Queen Changsun.

    "Yes! I heard that Empress Changsun is terminally ill and cannot be saved by human power. I am afraid that within a hundred days she will" Gao Zhong stopped here and looked up at Li Min. Needless to say, Li Min also said the following words.  I understand.

    Next, Li Min asked Gao Zhong some detailed questions, especially who had treated Queen Changsun. When he heard that the legendary person was not there, he was relieved.  But soon LiHe fell into deep thought again:

    I didn't expect that Queen Changsun's condition was so serious. If I remember correctly, Queen Changsun would pass away in June this year. The death of Queen Changsun also represents the beginning of the fight for the throne among the princes. The most famous ones are Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li  Unfortunately, none of the three brothers ended well. Li Chengqian rebelled and was demoted. Li Tai fought with Li Chengqian and was demoted. Li You was the boldest and most unlucky brother. He killed his own eldest son, Quan Wanji, and then rebelled.  Bu Cheng was sentenced to death and became the only son killed by Taizong Li Shimin.  The other princes were all in danger. Later, the unlucky Li Zhi became the prince.  But Li Zhi became even more careless after he came to power. First, Changsun Wuji came to power, which directly led to Li Ke's unjust death. Then Wu Zetian came to power. Now Li Min's brothers were even worse. They were demoted and killed, except Lao Shi.  Except for the three Li Fus, almost no one died a good death.

    It can be said that it was precisely because of the early death of Empress Changsun that the princes competed for the throne. As a result, the ninth emperor Li Zhi came to power. The last generation of empress Wu Zetian usurped the throne, which also caused a catastrophe for the Li family. Most of the royal family died unexpectedly, and few of them were alive.  All very miserable.  For example, Li Ke's daughter, the head of Xin'an County, did not get married until she was in her forties.  Another example is that Li Min was demoted to a commoner in history, and then died in depression. Many of his descendants also died during the Wu Zetian period.  The other royal families are similar, they are either demoted or killed, but there is no good ending anyway.

    So from Li Min's point of view, curing Empress Changsun's illness will not only please his emperor father, but also affect his own destiny. Maybe Empress Changsun will live a few more years to avoid the subsequent princes competing for the throne.  Li Zhi would not be the emperor, and of course there would be no more Wu Zetian. As a member of the royal family, Li Min would no longer worry about the safety of himself and his children and grandchildren. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

    Of course, Li Min also knew that his idea was a bit naive. Even if Empress Changsun lived a few more years, there was no guarantee that things would not happen in the future. However, this was Li Min's attempt to change history. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.  The good news is that there are always ways to change history.

    Thinking of this, Li Min made up his mind. Since he had changed Li Min's fate through time travel, he might as well change the fate of the Tang Dynasty. At least he had to prevent Wu Zetian from coming to power. After all, he was also a member of the Li family.  No matter what, I cannot let myself and my children and grandchildren experience the catastrophe that happened to the Li family.

    "Gao Zhong, go and help me with something right away!" After thinking about these things, Li Min immediately ordered Gao Zhong with a serious face, then waved him forward and whispered in his ear.  A few words.

    "This matter is extremely important. You are the person I trust most, so you must not disappoint my expectations!" After giving the instructions, Li Min patted Gao Chong's shoulder intimately and said.

    "Your Highness, this old slave will definitely get things done even if his body is shattered to pieces!" Gao Zhong was so excited by Li Min's slap that he knelt down and sobbed with tears in his eyes.

    "Okay! Go ahead!"

    "Old slave, please retire!" Gao Chong left the living room with an expression of generosity on his face as he walked forward with determination.  Now Gao Zhong felt that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by His Highness Prince Liang, and even mountains of swords and seas of fire could not stop him from moving forward.

    Li Dao looked at this loyal fat eunuch speechlessly. Didn't he just go to Zhongnan Mountain to find someone to come back to? Is it necessary to be so tragic?

    To cure Empress Changsun¡¯s illness, of course you need to find a good doctor. Although Li Min knows some common medical knowledge, he is not a doctor after all, so he will definitely not be able to cure Empress Changsun¡¯s illness by himself.  However, Li Min's failure does not mean that others are not good. If all the famous doctors in history were ranked, there is one famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty who can enter the top ten, and that is Sun Simiao, who is respectfully known as the King of Medicine by future generations.

    Sun Simiao was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and died in the first year of Tang Yongchun. He lived for more than a hundred years and devoted his life to medical research. He wrote "Qianjin Prescription", created a classification system for internal diseases and fu-organ diseases, and made great contributions to the development of Chinese medicine.  A great contribution.  He is not only good at internal medicine, but also good at surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ENT, and ophthalmology. He also conducts research on health preservation, diet therapy, acupuncture, prevention, alchemy, etc. He also has extensive pharmacological knowledge and superb acupuncture technology.  Said to be a great master of general medicine.

    Sun Simiao was revered as the King of Medicine in later generations, but it was now the tenth year of Zhenguan. Li Min counted the time and found that Old Man Sun was probably in his sixties, and he should still be living in seclusion in the Zhongnan Mountains, more than 200 miles south of Chang'an.  He usually helps the surrounding residents see doctors. Because of his superb medical skills, he is very famous in the local area.

    However, Sun Simiao's real fame came after he was a hundred years old. The then Emperor Tang Gaozong, Li Min's younger brother Li Zhi, highly praised Sun Simiao. This made Sun Simiao's reputation more and more famous, and it was not limited to medicine.  In the world, Lu Zhaolin, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, was still his disciple, and his "Qianjin Prescription", which was passed down to later generations, was also his disciple.?It was completed after he was over a hundred years old.

    Sun Simiao is actually somewhat famous now. When Li Min's emperor father Li Shimin first came to the throne, he sent someone to grant Sun Simiao a title, but he refused.  But don't think that Li Shimin thought highly of Sun Simiao just because of this incident. In fact, the two of them had never even met, and there was a reason for the knighthood.

    Everyone knows that Li Shimin's throne came from a shady origin. The killing of brothers was a stain that could not be erased in Tang Taizong's life. When he first came to the throne, public opinion was very unfavorable to Li Shimin, so he had people elect local officials.  People with noble virtues were given titles of knighthood in an attempt to change the public's view of them. However, this method was not very effective. Many of those selected for the title of knighthood rejected Li Shimin's kindness. Sun Simiao was one of them.  Therefore, Li Shimin may have an impression of Sun Simiao, but it will definitely not be too deep. Otherwise, Queen Changsun has been ill for almost two years, but she has not invited Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor, to diagnose and treat her. This is enough to explain the problem.  As for the story spread by later generations about Sun Simiao's diagnosing the pulse with a silk thread and curing Empress Changsun, that is completely fabricated by later generations and cannot be trusted at all.

    As soon as Li Min heard about Queen Changsun's condition, he immediately thought of Sun Simiao. This medicine king was best at internal medicine, and the qi disease that Queen Changsun suffered from fell into the category of internal medicine. Therefore, Li Min believed that even if Sun Simiao could not eradicate this disease,  At least it would allow Empress Changsun to live a few more years, and of course it would be best if she could be cured. Anyway, this contribution must be attributed to him. With the emperor¡¯s deep love for Empress Changsun, are you still afraid that he will not reward him generously?  When Concubine Yang and her third brother Li Ke say a few nice words, they can change their impression in the eyes of the emperor's father, and then they can work harder to please themselves. It is estimated that even if they are out-of-town officials, they will not  Will you ever go to Yizhou, which is so far away again?

    Li Min couldn't help but laugh when he thought about his proud place, especially when he thought that this was the first time he used the knowledge of later generations to influence the direction of history. This made Li Min even more proud and couldn't stop laughing.  Wen'er and Hua'er, who were standing next to them, were nervous, and they were thinking at the same time: Could it be that His Highness Prince Liang's old illness has relapsed?
