Chapter 715

Wu Shun is Li Ke's sister-in-law in name, but actually Li Ke's woman. From Wu Shun's point of view, she doesn't care much whether Li Shimin takes the medicine or not. All she cares about is Li Ke.

For Wu Shun, Li Ke is her reliance for the rest of her life. As long as Li Ke's reserve position is stable, as long as Li Ke can successfully inherit the throne in the future, the wealth of the entire Wu family, including the Marquis of Wuchuan, will be safe, and they can even reach the sky in one step. .

Wu Shun's words are not wrong in themselves, Li Ke should not be involved in this matter, once the inquiry is over, under the instigation of interested people, it seems that Li Ke discouraged Li Shimin from taking medicine in order to inherit the throne as soon as possible, and he has ulterior motives.

What Wu Shun said was not pleasant, but Li Ke listened to it, and Li Ke also knew the sensitivity of the matter, so Li Ke would not argue with Li Shimin on this matter in the open, at most he could only make sidelines, but the tree desire Quiet but windy, Li Ke, as the prince, has some things that he can't avoid.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Ke went to the palace to report to Li Shimin in the morning as usual, but in the Palace of Ganlu, he saw someone he didn't want to see.

"My son, Li Ke, pays homage to my father." Li Ke strode into the inner hall, and bowed down to Li Shimin, who was above him.

"Get up, Ke'er."

Seeing Li Ke enter the hall, Li Shimin first raised his hand with a smile, motioning for Li Ke to get up, and then said to Li Ke: "Ke'er just happened to be here today, and I will introduce you to an expert for my father."

In fact, when Li Ke entered the hall, he had already seen a man standing on one side of the hall. This man was in his early thirties, and he was dressed in dark blue Taoist uniform. He looked very energetic.Combined with Li Shimin's recent actions, Li Ke must be the master Li Shimin talks about.

As far as Li Ke knows, Li Shimin has met many so-called Taoist masters these days, but none of them can satisfy Li Shimin, but this person can be recognized by Li Shimin and introduced to Li Ke, which shows that this person still has two methods of.

Li Ke pretended to be ignorant and asked: "I don't know who is the master, but the father is so important?"

Li Shimin led his hand in the direction of Cheng Gongying, and said to Li Ke: "This is the Taoist priest of Ziyang Palace in central Fujian. He learned from Master Nanhua, and he is a master in the world."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Gongying stepped forward slowly, pinched his fingers with one hand, and saluted Li Ke calmly: "The poor Cheng Gongying, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although Li Ke didn't like this kind of people, Li Shimin was still happy after all, and it was inconvenient for Li Ke to show it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Ke raised his hand with a smile and said: "The Taoist priest is a foreigner, and he is not subject to common etiquette, so hurry up and invite him."

Seeing Li Ke's reaction, Li Shimin smiled a little more on his face.In the past few days, many courtiers have come forward to advise Li Shimin not to listen to the way of life-prolonging pills. Li Shimin has already heard his temper. Looking at Li Ke's attitude towards Cheng Gongying today, he still has a bit of respect. It is still approved, and my heart is naturally more relieved.

Li Shimin said to Li Ke: "This Cheng Dao grows up to be the true biography of the Nanhua real person, and he can refine the life-prolonging elixir."

When Li Ke heard the words, his face showed a hint of surprise, and he asked, "There are such treasures in the world?"

Li Shimin said with a smile to Cheng Gongying: "The prince has never seen the elixir, so you can show it to the prince."

"promise."

Cheng Gongying responded, took out a wooden box from her sleeve, handed it to Li Ke, and said to Li Ke: "This is the elixir that I practiced to dispel cold and strengthen the body and prolong life. Please take a look at it, Prince."

Li Ke took the wooden box from Cheng Gongying's hand. This wooden box is very delicate. Li Ke is also a person who knows the goods. With a faint fragrance, this small box is worth more than Baiguan.

Li Ke slowly opened the wooden box, and found that there was a ochre-colored pill the size of a lychee kernel lying in the box.

With a curious look on his face, Li Ke picked up the pill and put it up to his nose and sniffed it lightly. A herbal smell that Li Ke couldn't describe, and a faint lime smell mixed with the herbal smell flooded into Li Ke's nose. In the middle, Li Ke almost coughed out of choking.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's appearance, and said with a smile: "Ke'er heard it for the first time, and I'm afraid I'm not used to it. Although this elixir smells pungent, it's very effective. It's a good medicine."

Li Ke listened to Li Shimin's words, and asked: "Father is so sure about the efficacy of medicine, is it possible that Father has already taken the medicine?"

Li Shimin said: "Although I haven't taken it for my father, some palace officials have tried it on my behalf. After taking the medicine, the lower abdomen became hot, and then spread to the whole body. The body became lighter and my spirit improved a lot. .”

Li Ke didn't know why Li Shimin said that after taking it, his body became light and energetic, but Li Ke believed that among so many so-called effects, the most attractive to Li Shimin must be the theory of heat generation in the lower abdomen, because Li Shimin became very scared after he contracted the disease in Liaodong. cold.

Li Ke can guess the reason why this elixir has this effect. This elixir is mixed with a very small amount of lime. If you take this elixir into your stomach, and then use water to induce it, it will naturally make your stomach feel hot. But if this kind of fever is not good, it will cause big problems.It's okay to take it once or twice, but if you take it for a long time, it will kill you.

However, Li Ke had no evidence for these claims, and it was hard to say in front of Li Shimin. Li Ke put the pills back in the box calmly.

"It's unexpected that a small pill can have such an effect." Li Ke sighed in a dignified manner.

Li Shimin said: "With this pill, I will no longer avoid the cold outside. In a few days, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At that time, I will go to the Zhuquemen to have fun with the people. Remember to bring Ke'er Let's go together with Yan'er."

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help feeling a little more worried, Li Ke said: "Should I think about this matter more, my father, Sun Simiao specifically told my father to avoid the cold."

It's the beginning of spring now, and there's still some lingering chill in the morning and evening, not to mention that the city wall of Suzaku Gate is too high and the wind is stronger, which is really not good for Li Shimin's condition.

Li Kezhi's words were originally to persuade Li Shimin, but Li Shimin said after hearing the words: "It's no problem, there was no such medicine in the past, so it is not suitable to climb high to avoid the cold, but now with this medicine, there is no need to avoid the cold for a father, so why not? "

Li Ke said: "It's about father's dragon body, it's better to be cautious."

Li Shimin said: "Since I came to the throne, every year on the Lantern Festival, I will go to the Vermilion Bird Gate to have fun with the people. This year is no exception. This is the rule."

Since Li Shimin came to the throne, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would go to the Suzaku Gate to enjoy the lanterns with the common people.

Li Shimin said, but he didn't want Li Ke to worry too much, so he asked Cheng Gongying: "What do you think?"

Li Shimin's words have reached this point, Cheng Gongying naturally can't dismantle her position, Cheng Gongying can only reply: "Your Majesty's ascending to the top is of course no problem, and your majesty and the crown prince can rest assured about this matter."

Hearing Cheng Gongying's words, Li Ke was already a little displeased. Li Shimin's body had a lot to do with it, and Cheng Gongying dared to risk it as a gamble to win wealth. He really deserved it.

A thought moved in Li Ke's mind, and he said to Li Shimin: "This minister is stupid, I didn't expect this medicine to have such effects. Since Ziyang Palace's Taoism is so good, there is something I would like to ask my father."

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Ke replied: "In two months' time, there will be a Daoist event in the Hongwen Hall of the East Palace. At that time, many Taoist masters with profound Taoism will come to the East Palace to participate in the meeting and study the Taoism intensively. I wonder if it is possible to invite Master Cheng Daoist to come here to preach. , and it will be passed down through the ages.”
