Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 266
In the East Palace, Prince Li Jiancheng sat cross-legged with a blank expression on his face. The ground in front of him was covered with water marks and broken porcelain, obviously after being furious.

Wei Ting and Wang Gui on the side also looked helpless, especially the latter.

A month ago, Wang Gui offered a plan to urge Li Jiancheng to transfer Princess Pingyang back to Guanzhong. On the one hand, he could balance the power of King Qin, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to win over General Chai Shao of Youwuwei.

More importantly, Dou Kang, the brother-in-law of Chen Guogong who was trusted by Li Yuan, died of illness last year. Although Dou Kang had pacified the Western Qin Dynasty and conquered Luoyang, he was a pure minister and only listened to Li Yuan's orders.

And Dou Kang has always been Li Yuan's most important manpower in charge of Jingzhao's forces... Now that Dou Kang has died of illness, Li Jiancheng pins his hopes on Princess Pingyang.

Compared with Dou Kang, Princess Pingyang is a pure minister, she will only be loyal to her father, and she will not get involved in the struggle for succession.

And as long as Princess Pingyang is loyal to her father... Li Jiancheng has enough confidence.

But no one expected that in July and August last year, Jieli Khan led an army of more than [-] troops into Hedong, almost piercing through the entire Hedong. Healed, now he is as angry as a gossamer.

On the one hand, Li Jiancheng's anger came from the failure of his plan, on the one hand, from his sister's condition, and on the other hand, it was also aimed at the Imperial Medical Office.

The words were clear and logical, and there were thousands of words in the debate, but Princess Pingyang's condition became more and more serious. The concubine, Princess Qin, and Princess Qi went to visit, and the situation was getting worse. Li Jiancheng thought that his father would soon die. I can't sit still.

A palace official from outside entered the palace cautiously, "His Royal Highness, Chang'an ordered to see you."

Li Jiancheng didn't say a word as if he didn't hear, Wang Gui frowned after waiting for a moment, "Although Li Dewu is not a Chang'an order, his father-in-law is Pei Xiang."

Wei Ting stood up and said: "Your Highness, Wang Gong, let me deal with it."

Seeing Li Jiancheng nod his head slightly, Wei Ting strode out of the side hall, waved and said with a smile: "Your Highness is busy with work today, why do you want to see Dewu?"

Li Dewu saluted, and said softly: "I also heard that Princess Pingyang is seriously ill, and the crown prince is very anxious."

"Yes." Wei Ting sighed, "The Imperial Medical Office..."

"I heard something today..." Li Dewu whispered, "Have you ever heard of Sun Simiao?"

"Of course." Wei Ting was stunned for a moment, "Sun Simiao has been missing for years, does Dewu know his whereabouts?"

Li Dewu shook his head, "I just heard that there is a person in the Imperial Medical Office who claims to have seen Sun Simiao's followers."

"Sun Simiao's apprentice?" Wei Ting's expression changed, and he pulled Li Dewu back, "It's important, let's go!"

Not long after Wei Ting left, Li Jiancheng came out of the hall and walked quickly to the Liangyi Hall with a gloomy expression.

A quarter of an hour later, the sage Li Yuan, the concubine Wan Gui who was in charge of the harem, the prince Li Jiancheng and the princess concubine, the king of Qin Li Shimin and his concubine Qin, the king of Qi Li Yuanji and his concubine Qi... all left the imperial city and arrived at Princess Pingyang's mansion in Guangdefang.

"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty." Qiao Guo Gong Chai Shao looked ashen and haggard.

"How is it?"

Chai Shao glanced expressionlessly at several doctors not far away, "Today, after taking the medicine, I vomited profusely, and now I can hardly speak."

With wet eyes, Li Yuan strode into the inner room and stood by the bed.

On the bed was a young woman, quite tall, but her face was pale, her face seemed to be in pain, and her body was trembling slightly.

In all fairness, Li Yuan, as the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was not incompetent, and his political skills were mature, but his fatal weakness was full of emotion.

As an emperor, it is not impossible to have feelings, but one must have the instinct and consciousness to restrain and suppress one's own feelings, and Li Yuan cannot do this.

Therefore, in history, Li Yuan only hoped for hello, me, everyone, and finally the Xuanwumen Incident, where his two sons were killed and he was "respected" as the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, in history, Li Yuan deplored the death of Princess Pingyang, buried her with military ceremonies for the first time, and the army held her funeral.

Therefore, after hearing the report that Princess Pingyang was about to die today, Li Yuan was furious and said that all the doctors who treated Princess Pingyang at the Imperial Medical Office would be executed.

Don't think that Li Yuan is soft-tempered because he is so kind to his children... He is not soft-tempered at all when it comes to killing people.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chai Shao slowly held his wife's hand... the once round and strong palm was now soft and weak.

There were tears on Li Yuan's face. For him, among so many children, the one he loves the most is the three sons and one daughter of his wife, Dou Shi.

But now, with the increasingly fierce seizure of the heir apparent, Li Yuan is quite dissatisfied with the three sons, so he recalled his daughter under Li Jiancheng's suggestion, but unexpectedly, Yin and Yang are about to be separated.

Li Shimin stood in the outer room silently, saw Li Jiancheng comforting Chai Shao, saw Li Yuanji beating several doctors, and then saw Wei Ting who came in a hurry.

"Li Huairen?" Li Jiancheng's eyes widened in surprise, "Is he a disciple of Sun Simiao?"

"The doctor in the imperial medical office claimed to have seen Sun Simiao's disciple. I have inquired carefully. This person is from Beizhou... The one he mentioned is Li Shan and Li Huairen." Wei Ting explained: "Li Huairen can heal the dead and heal the bones. This matter is circulating in the market.”

"I have already asked the king of Huaiyang. He saw with his own eyes that Li Huairen opened his stomach with a knife. There are many survivors."

"Moreover, he claims to have worshiped Sun Simiao as his teacher."

Gradually, several people gathered around, Li Yuanji looked confused, "Open the enemy?"

In ancient times, generally speaking, disemboweling...that was a dead person.

Li Shimin's complexion is difficult to describe, but he is aware of this matter and has asked Ling Jing a long time ago... In Li Shan's words, he is good at treating traumatic injuries. Although Princess Pingyang was originally injured because of the lingering injury, she is now deeply ill. .

As for Li Shan's pawn, Li Shimin first hoped to use him to judge the attitude and position of the Hedong Pei family... But he didn't expect that Li Shan was too capable of tossing around.

There was such a big commotion in Shandong, helping me back and forth...slapping the prince's face was swollen.

Therefore, now, Li Shimin has more expectations for Li Shan.

At least he knew that his father Li Yuan was very optimistic about Li Shan, and he intended to summon him, but it was only because of the delay of the third sister's illness.

If Li Shan came here today, and the third sister still died...how would my father treat Li Shan?

Maybe he won't be punished. After all, Li Shan made great contributions to the country in the Shandong war.

But in the future, the weight of Li Shan's chess piece...Li Shimin suppressed the boredom in his chest, and asked in a low voice: "This matter cannot be ignored..."

Li Yuanji sneered, went straight in and pulled Chai Shao out, and whispered something in his ear.

Seeing Chai Shao's eyes light up, Li Shimin couldn't help lamenting in his heart... If he refused, it would be tantamount to falling out with Chai Shao completely.

For Chai Shao, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will fight for it desperately.

Even if Chai Shao is not counted, as long as Sanhu stabs his father, it must be the result of this.

After a while, dozens of people had rushed out of the mansion to invite Li Shan.
