Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4108
The imperial doctor's family shivered in the cold wind and rain outside the hall, praying for their own fate, and the atmosphere in the Wude Hall was already bleak.

Whether it is the prince, the county king, or the minister of civil and military affairs, no matter how loyal and admiring he is to His Majesty Li Er, at this moment, his emotions will be firmly suppressed in his heart, because His Majesty Li Er is not only their boss and father, but also the boss. The kings of the Tang Empire, the life and death of the king are still beyond pure emotion, they must be responsible for the empire, and properly handle all affairs between the life and death of His Majesty.

Not to mention that it also involves the battle for the throne, the ownership of the throne...

Several imperial physicians with superb medical skills and deep qualifications were busy in front of the imperial couch, and they had been tossing around for most of the night.

First, His Majesty's breath was weakening and his life was at stake, so these imperial doctors rushed to come for consultation, but no matter how conceited they were about their medical skills, they did not dare to specialize at this time. Several people discussed the disease and discussed the diagnosis and treatment methods, which seemed to be expert. Taking advantage of the strengths of all the families, in fact, the responsibility is shared equally, and the merits and demerits depend on each other. No one dares to stand up alone.

After discussing and making a decision, we began to try to treat him.

Acupuncture and prescribing prescriptions, all kinds of methods were used together, but His Majesty’s improvement has not been seen for a long time. The foreheads of several elderly imperial doctors are full of sweat, and they let the disciples and subordinates behind them wipe their sweat and continue to treat them. They dare not at all. rest.

On the side of the bedroom, Prince Li Chengqian, King Wei Li Tai, King Li Zhi of Jin, King Hejian Li Xiaogong, Duke Li Ji of England, Duke Xiao Yu of Song Dynasty, Duke Fang Jun of Yue State and other princes stood respectfully with their hands tied up, looking nervously at the busy figures of the imperial doctors. All of them have faces as heavy as water and a dignified mood.

Everyone knows what the situation will look like once His Majesty Li Er passes away.

What's more important is that His Majesty's illness was too urgent this time, and all parties were not fully prepared, and they couldn't mobilize all their strength to strike a blow in a hurry. Wrong, powerless.

At this time, everyone hoped that His Majesty would be lucky enough not to let go, so as to buy more time for themselves...

Fang Jun frowned, feeling extremely heavy.

It has not been a few years since he traveled to this point, but he has been promoted from a dude who is destined to be the laughing stock of the ages to an important official of the court and a military giant. He is faintly a big boss with the energy to influence this huge empire. The promotions and rewards almost all have the presence of His Majesty Li Er.

It is true that he has knowledge and vision beyond this era, but without His Majesty Li Er's indulgence and favor, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the status and achievements of today in such a short period of time.

If he is a galloping horse that travels through the ages, then His Majesty Li Er is a Bole with insight, otherwise those things beyond the ages would never be implemented so quickly in the Tang Dynasty...

Therefore, in the past, in addition to the infinite worship of His Majesty Li Er, such an ancient Mingjun, there is also a bit of admiration for the elders. Destined to go to Huangquan, I feel infinite regret in my heart, and the sadness is beyond words.

Beside him, the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Zhi had solemn faces, and their hands were clenched into fists under the cover of their sleeves.

His Majesty Li Er has spent a lot of effort on the education of his children since he ascended the throne. He appointed Li Chengqian as the crown prince. He not only invited famous teachers to teach him, but also cared for him at all times and taught by example. By my side, to make up for the pain of losing my mother at a young age.

The relationship between father and son is very strong, which is rare in the history of the royal family.

Even though Li Chengqian wanted to depose the prince several times in these years, it was inevitable that Li Chengqian would feel resentment, but he never thought that his father would die young one day...

But at this moment, both of them suppressed their inner worries and sorrows, and their minds were running quickly, planning how to face the ensuing situation if the father's treatment failed.

Arms to arms were almost inevitable.

Of course, the most urgent thing right now is to determine whether the father left a will or not.

Generally speaking, with the experience that the father had fainted and his life was at stake, he should prepare a will early and put it in a secret place under the control of the most trusted person. In case of accidents, the will will be taken out to ensure a smooth transition of the government , to prevent some ambitious people from usurping power and seeking rebellion.

However, after all, the father was in the prime of life, and occasionally got sick, so he didn't necessarily think about the worst, and he inevitably had some taboos.

Therefore, no one knows whether there is a will or not.

For the current situation, it is absolutely a world of difference to have an exhaustive edict...

Li Xiaogong and Li Ji looked at each other with a heavy heart, looking at each other with deep suspicion.

As the leaders of the court and clan, once something happens to His Majesty, they represent the highest power in the Tang Dynasty and have the authority to decide the direction of the empire.But once the crown prince and King Jin compete for the throne, can they really look at it from a fair and just perspective?
There is no justice in the world, only human hearts.

And people have ulterior motives, or power, or kindness, or interests.

Once the two of them have different positions and choose to support different goals for various reasons, the result is that the center of the empire is divided into two.

This is the worst situation, but the two of them lack enough trust in each other...

Everyone has different thoughts, but the root of everything lies in His Majesty Li Er who is being treated. As long as His Majesty Li Er is safe and sound, all crises will naturally disappear.

……

Until the white belly appeared outside the window, the light rain that had rained all night gradually subsided, and the imperial doctors who had been busy for most of the night finally stopped treating them. One of the imperial doctors with white beard and hair and a tall and thin figure wiped his sweat while walking towards the prince and the others.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

The imperial doctor walked up to Li Chengqian, bowed to the ground, and said in a hoarse voice, "His Majesty, your Majesty is fine for the time being, but the situation is not optimistic, and he still cannot wake up for a while, and the imperial doctor needs to observe from the side. cure."

Everyone let go of their hearts, let out a long breath...

Li Chengqian returned the gift and said gratefully: "Thanks to your godlike medical skills, I am so grateful. I also ask you to do your best to wait until the father recovers and the orphans come to the house. Thank you."

Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi also saluted and thanked them.

The old imperial doctor shook his head, he didn't think much of the thank-you gifts from his highnesses, the work of an imperial doctor is full of risks, if this method is correct, he will be rewarded with countless rewards, but if anything happens, the whole family will have to be buried with him ...

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, it's a matter of old age. Your Majesty is fine for the time being, but your body is extremely weak and needs good ventilation and rest. Please move out of the hall so as not to disturb Your Majesty."

"That's it, thank you."

Li Chengqian saluted again, then looked up at the figure of His Majesty Li Er on the imperial couch with red eyes, turned and walked out of the bedroom.

The rest did not dare to stay, and followed closely behind.

The hall was full of people, many ministers, generals, and clans gathered here to wait for the news. When they saw the prince and his party coming out, they hurriedly gathered around them, and each of them looked worried, even tearful, and hurriedly asked how His Majesty was doing.

Li Chengqian repeated the imperial doctor's words, comforted everyone, and said: "You must have been tired after waiting all night. My father is fine now. You are all pillars of the imperial court. You must not neglect the government affairs. Please return home In the mansion, make every effort to govern the government, so as to live up to the expectations of the father and the emperor."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the ministers will never dare to slack off."

"Your Majesty is auspicious, and he will definitely recover. Please don't worry too much, Your Majesty."

……

When the crowd dispersed, Li Chengqian and others came to a hall on the other side. Several low tables were placed side by side, with porridge and side dishes on them. They were worried all night. Everyone was hungry and tired, so they all sat down to eat breakfast.

After the meal, the waiter took away the dishes, brewed a pot of hot tea in front of each person, and then all left outside.

Li Chengqian took a sip from his teacup, closed his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

Li Zhi lowered his head, watching the movement of the teacup in front of him.

The atmosphere is a bit weird...

Li Xiaogong held the teacup in his hand, thought for a while and then put it down, coughed lightly, and said, "Although Your Majesty was not in any danger last night, after all, he has not yet passed the dangerous period, so it is not optimistic. In my opinion, the Highnesses still You should stay in the palace to serve the sick, and be filial."

Now is the most sensitive time, the crown prince is unwilling to be abolished, and the king of Jin is also unwilling to give up the good situation. If the two sides are not careful, conflicts will break out, and then it will evolve into a war of the entire center. would like to see.

Of course, if something happens to His Majesty, no one can prevent such a scene from happening.

I just hope that it can be delayed as long as possible, and if you are lucky enough to wake up for a moment, your majesty will be able to fully implement the throne...

It can't be that your majesty has not died yet, and the sons are fighting for the throne, right?
The so-called filial piety is vulnerable to the imperial power. In order to fully implement the ownership of the reserve, it is very likely that the crown prince and the king of Jin will fight in advance. After all, as long as the opponent is completely defeated, no one can threaten his position as the crown prince. Whether His Majesty is alive or dead, the position will be settled.

Of course everyone understands this truth, and also understands Li Xiaogong's move to put the two Highnesses and their confidantes under house arrest in the palace, and they are silent for a while without any objection.

Neither the crown prince nor the king of Jin dared to provoke Li Xiaogong rashly.Right now Li Xiaogong is still neutral, once he leans towards one side, with his unparalleled influence within the clan, it will be a fatal blow to the other side.

Only Li Tai ignored it, raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "I understand Uncle Wang's thoughts, but has Uncle Wang ever thought about how long we will be under house arrest? Three days? Ten days? Wait until the father recovers. Or wait until the father's funeral? With all due respect, what should come will come sooner or later, and no one can stop it."

Just looking at the current situation of the father, it is almost impossible to wake up, it is just a question of how long it will last.

Why not just let them go out, and let us watch them fight to the death, and then support the winner as the heir, who will be enthroned after the father's death?
Engaging in such methods is house arrest and martial law. In the final analysis, you all have your own calculations, but you still want to talk about the high-sounding sound like a public heart, which is simply ridiculous...

Li Xiaogong glared at Li Tai coldly, his face sinking like water.
