The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 271 Found by Uncle
"Where is the other prince?" Li Shimin asked Xiao Guizi after entering the East Palace.

"My Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been drowsy since he came back. He has been lying on the bed all day without even drinking any saliva." Xiao Guizi said with a sad expression.

"You said the crown prince is ill, but have you consulted the imperial physician?" Li Shimin continued to ask Xiao Guizi.

"How could His Highness trust the imperial physician's words. That's why the servant specially called Jiang Qi, and now he is diagnosing His Highness." Xiao Guizi said.

"Lead the way ahead, I will also go to see how he is doing." After Li Shimin nodded, he and his eldest grandson Wuji, led by Xiao Guizi, came to Yiqiu Palace.

……

"My husband, the emperor is here." Cheng Chuhuan hurried in and said to Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian heard that Li Shimin was coming, he hurriedly put the pastry he had just bitten into on the plate.Then he lay down on the bed and moaned nonstop.

At this time, Li Shimin also walked in and saw Li Chengqian's painful expression.I can't help but believe that Li Chengqian is seriously ill.

At this time Li Chengqian was barely supporting his body, trying to stand up and salute Li Shimin.But tried several times and failed.

And even Li Chengqian's face was pale and bloodless.I am afraid that some people will believe that he is terminally ill.

At this time, Jiang Qi was prescribing medicine for Li Chengqian, when he saw Li Shimin walking in, he naturally put down his brush and stood aside in a respectful manner.

Seeing everything in the room, Li Shimin couldn't help asking with concern: "I was fine this morning, why did I suddenly become so sick?"

"Reporting to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurt his liver because of a sudden attack. But the Emperor does not need to worry. With the medicine prescribed by the grass-roots people, the Crown Prince will be cured within a year or half a year." Jiang Qi said to Li Shimin.

"One year, not to mention one year, I can't wait even half a year. Now I can wait for him to take command and go to war." Li Shimin said helplessly.

"Father, I'm afraid that the sons and daughters will not be able to share the worries of the father. How about changing the father to be in command?" Li Chengqian, who was lying on the bed, said.

"Your Majesty, I think what the crown prince said is reasonable. After all, the crown prince is seriously ill now, so Zhang Jun cannot be in command."

"In my opinion, it is most suitable for Wei Guogong Li Jing and Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin to be in command." Eldest Sun Wuji said to Li Shimin.

"Wei Guogong is in command and goes to Yumenguan. I am naturally relieved. But I am not at ease to let Cheng Yaojin be in command to fight Goguryeo." Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"What the emperor said is wrong. The emperor should let Lu Guogong go to Yumen Pass. He should also be ordered to solve the problem within two months, otherwise he will be asked to come to see him." Changsun Wuji said while looking at Cheng Chuhuan who was standing aside.

Li Shimin didn't understand why Changsun Wuji said that at first, but when he saw Cheng Chuhuan's expression, he understood everything.

So he nodded and said: "I think it's feasible, Cheng Yaojin pretended to be confused all his life, it's time for him to be smart."

After finishing speaking, he told Li Chengqian to take a good rest, then turned around and left with Changsun Wuji.

As soon as Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji left, Cheng Chuhuan grabbed Li Chengqian and said angrily: "It's okay for you to pretend to be sick here, but you sent my father to the guillotine. If my father wants to go wrong, my girl It's not over with you."

"Isn't it that I have more energy than I want, and now I'm seriously ill in bed, what can I do?" Cheng Chuhuan said, blinking at Cheng Chuhuan.

"When you bullied Zhenying and me just now, why didn't you see that you were sick?" Cheng Chuhuan said recklessly.

Hearing Cheng Chuhuan's words, Li Chengqian knew it was over.So he could only sit up helplessly, and said, "It's really not enough to succeed, but more to fail."

"It's only natural for a daughter to feel sorry for her father. There are a few unfilial sons like you who have nothing to do with your father." Li Shimin said at the door again.

This time Cheng Chuhuan was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Shimin to go and come back.For a moment, he froze there.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, and then said to Changsun Wuji: "Uncle, how did you find out. I'm a sickly pretender, but even I believe it myself."

"I haven't seen anyone who is weak to your level and still in the mood to eat snacks." Changsun Wuji pointed to the snacks on the table and said.

"There are so many people in the room, I don't know why uncle thinks that I ate it?" Li Chengqian asked Hidden Wuji puzzled.

"People say that you have to wipe your mouth if you steal food, but you don't know the truth." Changsun Wuji pointed to the dim sum residue on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth and said.

Li Chengqian couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch it, and sure enough, he took a small snack crumb from the corner of his mouth.

Then he looked at the dim sum in his hand and said helplessly: "Hundred secrets and one sparse."

"If your uncle didn't see through your trick, are you really going to ignore this matter?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian with a gloomy face.

"Of course I have to take care of it. But this money, I should not have to take it." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"What time is it, and I'm still making my own little calculations. Now Goguryeo is about to move, and it may invade Youzhou at any time."

"If the two sides go to war at the same time, I'm afraid the treasury will be emptied. Are you going to turn a blind eye?" Li Shimin said after glaring at Li Chengqian.

"I didn't expect Goguryeo to take advantage of the fire to loot, but their wishful thinking may not be successful." Li Chengqian said confidently with a wicked smile on his lips.

"Could it be that you have any way to deal with it?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian.

"Father can send Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui to guard Youzhou, and they will never dare to mess around in Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said.

"You don't need to worry about the Goguryeo matter, just tell me how much military expenditure you are going to spend." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

"Uncle, I was born to your younger sister. Our blood is thicker than water. But it seems that Father and you have no blood relationship."

"How can you turn your elbow outward?" Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji helplessly and said.

"You also know that blood is thicker than water, so why did you push back when I asked you for some military expenses. You even used the trick of pretending to be sick."

"Even the make-up on the face is fake. I wonder who did it?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei is a master of disguise. With her daughter by the side of the prince, it is not difficult to change her appearance." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

"It seems that there are a lot of talents around you kid. If that's the case, you can take out 50 guan, and I will take care of the rest." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Father, go and get a knife and come back, just kill my son." Li Chengqian said bitterly.
