Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Li Zheng Hall, Empress Changsun was sitting in the front seat with a serious face, accompanied by Concubine Yang. At the bottom, sitting at the lower end was Li Jing, the Weiguo with white hair and beard. Compared to a few years ago, Li Jing was really older.  , there are layers of wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are no longer as sharp as before.

    Next to Li Jing was Li Xiaogong, the King of Hejian. Compared with Li Jing's old age, Li Xiaogong, who was not yet over sixty, looked full of energy. His gray beard and hair could not hide his strong aura. But he, like Li Jing,  There was a bit of worry on his face.

    "Mr. Wei, how are the conditions of the Prime Minister and Duke of Song?" At this time, Empress Changsun asked, with a look of helplessness on her face. It happened that at this time of employment, the two important ministers were both ill.  .

    "Queen Qi, the prime minister has been in poor health since this summer. Although he has been diagnosed and treated by Imperial Physician Sun and others, he is still getting better and worse. Now he is even more sick and cannot get out of bed. As for Song Guogong, he has been in poor health since he finished dealing with the Sui Dynasty.  After my wife's funeral, I couldn't even get sick when I returned to Chang'an, and now I can't do anything at all." Li Jinggang tried to stand up and answer, but was held back by Li Xiaogong next to him, who then answered on his behalf.

    Empress Changsun also said to Li Jing and Li Xiaogong with some humility: "I am in such chaos now that I have forgotten that Wei Guo's health is also not good." At this point, Empress Changsun sighed, and then said, "Now  His Majesty wants to prolong his life. He even started taking pills that he didn't believe in in his early years. However, Wei Zheng passed away a few years ago, and the Prime Minister and Song Guogong also fell ill. Now the whole court is full of people who can give advice to His Majesty.  , and there are only a few of us left.¡±

    Hearing what Queen Changsun said.  Concubine Yang next to her also had a dark look on her face, as they were on their way back to Chang'an.  I heard about Li Shimin taking the elixir, but I didn't know about it until he arrived in Chang'an.  This matter has become very serious. Many ministers are vying to give advice, but Li Shimin cannot listen at all. Even Empress Changsun, who has always been confident, does not dare to give advice easily now. This is because she knows very well that if  Her first remonstrance did not achieve the effect, so her subsequent remonstrances would not be of much use, so she could only think of a way secretly.  One preparation can persuade Li Shimin to change his mind.

    "Queen, Lord Changsun is the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion, and he has an excellent personal relationship with Your Majesty. If he can persuade Your Majesty, he might be able to change His mind." At this time, Li Xiaogong stood up again and said.

    As soon as Li Xiaogong's words came out, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang next to her sighed, thinking that Li Xiaogong was a military general after all. Although he was well versed in the way of protecting oneself wisely, he still seemed a little slow in politics.  Therefore, Queen Changsun reminded him at this time: "King Hejian. As the uncle of the prince, Lord Changsun has always supported the prince. It is really not appropriate for him to express any opinions on this matter!"

    In fact, Queen Changsun has not finished what she said, so not only Changsun Wuji cannot participate in this matter.  Even Li Zhi also wanted to avoid suspicion. After all, Li Shimin made elixirs to extend his life, of course.  No one knows whether the elixir can really extend life, but as the prince, Li Zhiruo persuaded Li Shimin not to take the elixir.  Then in the eyes of those who are interested, there may be some rumors that are unfavorable to the prince.  Therefore, people who were close to Li Zhi, except Empress Changsun, had to avoid suspicion.

    Li Xiaogong is not stupid either. He immediately understood what Empress Changsun said.  At this time, Queen Changsun then asked: "But now His Majesty is addicted to elixirs and has taken some. Although I don't know much about elixirs, I also know that there has never been an immortal emperor since ancient times. Those elixirs  Although the medicine can temporarily stimulate the spirit, it will definitely cause some harm to the body, so for now, how can we get His Majesty to stop taking the medicine?"

    "What the Queen said is true. The Crown Prince and the eldest grandson cannot get involved. With just a few of us, the possibility of convincing His Majesty to change his mind is very slim. Fortunately, His Highness King Qi has already sent a letter about this matter. I believe everyone has received his letter.  Moreover, he said in the letter that he already had the idea to persuade His Majesty, so the veteran also believes that we should first find a way to get His Majesty to stop taking the medicine, and then wait for news from His Highness King Qi." At this time, Li Jing said in an old voice, although  He is older, but his mind is still very clear and his analysis is very organized.

    Hearing Li Jing mention Li Min several times in his words, Queen Changsun frowned slightly, but then she relaxed.  At this time, Concubine Yang seemed to have realized something, and immediately said: "Actually, it is not too difficult to ask His Majesty to suspend the medication, but it requires one person to take action, and this person"

    "Sizi!" Before Concubine Yang could finish her words, Queen Changsun next to her guessed who it was. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Li Shimin's favorite son is naturally Li Min, but in comparison, Li Shimin  But he likes his daughter more. In this regard, Li Min is exactly the same as his father, so as Li Shimin's favorite daughter, if Si Zi can persuade him, he will be much stronger than others.?It's a pity that the daughter is a daughter after all. She can interfere with such a big event, but she can't play as big a role as Li Min.

    Li Jing and Li Xiaogong below heard that Concubine Yang wanted to ask Princess Jinyang to come forward. They both breathed a sigh of relief. Although Princess Jinyang was not old, she was very sensible. Usually when Li Shimin angrily scolded his ministers, Princess Jinyang  She would speak out to defend her subordinates, and could often calm Li Shimin's anger. It could be said that she had the demeanor of Queen Changsun, so Princess Jinyang was very popular among the civil and military officials in the court.

    That night, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang called Si Zi to the Li Zheng Hall, and then told the story of Li Shimin taking the elixir and being opposed by the ministers. In particular, they also pointed out that Li Min was not responsible for this incident.  Things are also very opposed.  Sizi has always been the closest to Li Min, and this matter is related to his father's health, so after hearing this, Sizi agreed without hesitation.

    Early the next morning, Sizi went to Liangyi Palace to accompany Li Shimin. Li Shimin was also very happy about this, thinking that his daughter wanted to spend more time with him. However, when it was time for him to take the elixir, Sizi angrily scolded the Taoist priest who delivered it.  After a meal, these Taoist priests were frightened and turned pale. Not only did Li Shimin fail to take the elixir, but he was also forced by his beloved daughter to agree that from today on, he would never take such harmful things again.

    However, although Li Shimin agreed to Si Zi, in fact everyone knew that he was just coaxing Si Zi as a doting father. Afterwards, he would definitely eat whatever he wanted, as long as he was not discovered by Si Zi.

    However, with Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang's guidance behind her, Sizi was naturally not without some tricks. On the third day, Sizi was playing in the palace and accidentally walked to the place where Taoist priests were refining elixirs. Moreover, these Taoist priests even 'collied' with her.  , as a result, Sizi and his bodyguards severely injured all those involved in the alchemy, especially the Tianzhu monk named Naluo Suopo, who was given special care.

    Originally, according to the wishes of Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang, all those who made alchemy were killed directly. Although Li Shimin might find another group of people afterwards, it could delay it for a longer time. However, Si Zi was soft-hearted after all, so  It is enough to only injure the limbs of the alchemist, as long as the alchemy cannot be resumed within a short period of time.

    Li Shimin naturally understood what his daughter had done, but loving his daughter was one thing, but he still couldn't get rid of the extravagant hopes in his heart, so afterwards he moved the Taoist priests out of the palace and arranged for them  While recovering from their injuries, they found another place for them to make alchemy. However, based on the injuries of those people, it is estimated that they will not be able to get out of bed for at least half a month.

    Of course, although Si Zi was not punished for this matter, he still had to be consistent, otherwise it would have been a bit unreasonable. Queen Changsun also knew this, so although Si Zi still wanted to help, he was all  Queen Changsun stopped her.  After all, her mission has been completed, and the next step is to see whether Li Min's method is effective.

    At the end of the 21st year of Emperor Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, a group of personnel sent by the Prince of Qi took a steamboat from Taiwan to the north, then entered the Yellow River to Zhengzhou, then passed by Luoyang by land, and rushed non-stop to Chang'an. When this team  When they entered Chang'an from Mingdemen, the civil and military ministers who had been waiting for them in secret all breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Min did not come in person this time, he had already guaranteed Li Jing and others in his letter that as long as he  As soon as the sent people arrived in Chang'an, they were able to persuade Li Shimin to change his mind immediately.

    The person leading this team was none other than Wang Zihao, who was in charge of business development in Prince Qi's palace. When Li Min left Chang'an, Wang Zihao stayed in Chang'an and dealt with various wealthy families, so he was more familiar with him than anyone else, and he had great weight.  It is also heavy enough, and it is more convenient to contact Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others.

    This time, due to time constraints, Wang Zihao¡¯s team was very simple. Except for dozens of palace guards, the only thing left was a large box containing the seized aphrodisiac.  In addition to these, there are two special prisoners in the team. These two people are Taoist Huo Yuanzi and Persian Hu Shang Ashanlu.

    Compared with when they were in Taiwan, Huo Yuanzi and Ashan Lu were obviously much thinner, and the anxious look on their faces became more and more serious as Chang'an approached. However, what is strange is that their spirits are extremely good, at least.  When they entered Chang'an, the two of them didn't even look tired at all. Even the strong and powerful palace guards couldn't compare with them.

    And as soon as they arrived in Taiwan, Wang Zihao was called into the palace by Empress Changsun. At the same time, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong also entered the palace before him. After all, they had been waiting for this day.  But they were also a little uneasy, wondering if Li Min's method was effective?

    However, when Wang Zihao came out of the palace with Huo Yuanzi and Ashanlu, Queen Changsun, Li Jing and others all looked frightened. They never thought that there was such a terrifying thing in this world!  (To be continued)
