The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 224 Qin Qiong is critically ill
Li Shimin's gift is a sword, and this sword is not simple. It is Li Shimin's sword called Chihu Sword. Chi is Panchi, which is dragon, and Chihu is dragon and tiger, which represents bravery, martial arts, strength, power, and king. style.Chihu pattern swords existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and still existed in the Qing Dynasty.

This kind of Chihu Sword is made of hundred-refined steel. It is more than one meter long and extremely sharp. It can break iron and armor. There are two deep blood grooves in the middle and front of the sword body. When it pierces the human body, it will quickly bleed a large amount. It can kill with one stab. superb!

When Li Shimin went to war, he always carried this Chihu Sword. After he became the emperor, he no longer wore the Chihu Sword. Now he gave it as a gift. Of course, those who are interested will know what Li Shimin meant. Although this The sword was given to Li Duoduo, but the one who can use this Chihu Sword is obviously Li An.

If Li Shimin really just gave Li Duoduo a gift, then he could give too many things. Why did he choose the Chihu Sword alone? There is a lot of fun in this.

The banquet reached its climax after the gifts from Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were delivered. Everyone immediately started dancing. The first was Li Duoduo. Although she was only five years old, she had no stage fright at all. With encouragement, Li Duoduo danced the dance she had just learned at the Cheng family banquet alone.

The cute appearance and childish dancing posture made everyone happy. After a while, the dance instinct in the Tang people's genes began to activate, and a group of people who drank Yuye wine began to dance on the stage.

The banquet didn't break up until the afternoon, but after everyone left, something big happened.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Li An were drinking hangover soup. Cheng Yaojin kept praising Li An's Yuye wine: "An'er, your Yuye wine is really good wine. If you sell it in the future, , that will definitely cause everyone in Chang'an City to loot like crazy, I don't care about the rest, I want ten kilograms of wine every day anyway."

"That's natural. Please rest assured, adoptive father. I will prepare the best second-crop wine for you. Although the taste is slightly worse than Wuliangye, the mellow aroma is still the same." Li An smiled slightly and took a sip of the hangover soup. Ah, it was super sour. Li An had been poured a lot of Yuye wine just now. Fortunately, he had a good capacity for drinking. After drinking a little sobering soup at this time, his mind was much clearer.

"By the way. Let Duoduo stay here for a while. Last time Duoduo left, the family was no longer interesting. Your adoptive mother used to play with Duoduo in her arms, but after Duoduo left, your adoptive mother became a little depressed. Unhappy."

"Huh!" Li An was speechless: "Is it so important? I'm just worried that Duoduo will be here and disturb the adoptive father and stepmother. This little guy is too naughty, and Duoduo has started to read now!"

"It doesn't matter. If you are literate, your stepmother can teach you. You should also know that your stepmother is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family. Her poems and songs are very strong. Just stay here for a while. I I miss Duoduo too.

By the way, you can also stay for a while, so that we can play mahjong together in the evening. "

Cheng Yaojin tried his best to keep Li An and Li Duoduo. Li An originally wanted to go back to Lijiacun, but he couldn't refuse the kindness, so he could only nodded and said: "Okay. It just so happens that during this time, I I still need to treat Liu Xiaoxiao, so I’ll stay for a while longer.”

"Hehe, okay. That's it. I'll tell Duoduo later. Duoduo will be happy." Cheng Yaojin showed a happy smile.

Just when Li An also showed a knowing smile, suddenly, someone outside rushed over anxiously and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, Duke Guo, Duke Guo of Qin is unconscious."

"what.!"

This sentence about Qin Guogong being unconscious really frightened Li An and Cheng Yaojin, and they suddenly woke up after drinking. At this time, Cheng Yaojin quickly shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Go and ask the emperor medical."

"I've already invited him. He should be here soon." The servant replied nervously.

"Okay, An'er, let's go see my old brother. Oh, he can't be okay. If something happens to him, who can we old brothers expect?" For a moment, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened. There were tears in the scene, and the relationship between these people must be very good.Then Li An followed Cheng Yaojin to Qin Qiong's side. At this time, Niu Jinda and Yu Chigong were also waiting anxiously in the room. As soon as Cheng Yaojin entered, he asked: "Is the imperial doctor here?"

Niu Jinda: "I'll be there soon. It's all my fault. If only I could make my second brother drink less."

"Hey Lao Niu, what are you talking about? The second brother likes to drink a little wine. Since the second year of Zhenguan, the second brother has been in poor health and cannot even go to court. This time the second brother actually knows that he The deadline is coming soon, so I must come and meet my old brothers and have a good time drinking today.

This is all the second brother's own choice. "

After Yuchi Gong finished speaking, everyone was slightly silent. It would be too late to say that this Qin Qiong was really a hero. Qin Qiong was an out-and-out brave general. He often charged into battle and made countless military exploits. After defecting to Li Tang, he was deeply affected by it. Li Shimin reused.

But what is strange is that since Li Shimin seized power, Qin Qiong often claimed to be ill at home.

After all, everyone felt that the others were still experienced in many battles, but they seemed to be much more active than Qin Qiong.Therefore, the question becomes "Is Qin Qiong's illness real or fake?"
A conspiracy theory emerged that Qin Qiong had offended Li Shimin.

First of all, Qin Qiong is really sick. According to the records about Qin Qiong in the new and old "Book of Tang", and even the biographies of Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin, the fact that Qin Qiong is "sick" is mentioned sideways.

Qin Qiong himself often lamented to others: "My young master has been in the army for more than [-] battles, and he has been seriously injured many times. I have been bleeding a lot before and after Ji Wu, how can I not be sick?"What is clear is that Qin Qiong is indeed keen on charging into battle and has experienced hundreds of battles. This is what Li Shimin loves about his bravery.

In fact, the facts are very clear. There are not so many conspiracy theories. Qin Qiong has fought countless battles in his life and was often a pioneer. Naturally, he will suffer from many hidden diseases. In his later years, he will naturally be prone to diseases.

So, why can other generals take up their posts?Firstly, everyone's situation is different, which I believe everyone can understand; secondly, Qin Qiong worked too hard. Among the generals who charged into battle in the early Tang Dynasty, he was among the best.

Other generals will definitely have hidden problems, but they are not as serious as Qin Qiong's.

The conspiracy theory that offended Li Shimin was because everyone believed that Qin Qiong did not participate in the Xuanwumen coup. Qin Qiong was Li Yuan's person and they did not want to help. Because of this, he was not valued by Li Shimin, so he simply lied about being ill to protect himself.

But this argument is unfounded.Firstly, official history records that Qin Qiong participated in the Xuanwumen coup; secondly, Qin Qiong was canonized as General Zuowuwei in the year of the coup, and this military rank was higher than that of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong who were also conferred at the same time.

If he had not participated, Li Shimin would not have taken it so seriously.Therefore, there is no need for Qin Qiong to lie about being sick to avoid anything.The main reason why Qin Qiong claimed to be sick at home after the Xuanwu Gate Coup was that he had suffered from many hidden illnesses due to his years of fighting, so he was recuperating at home.He also participated in the Xuanwumen coup, so his considerations of protecting his own safety were ruled out.

At the same time, a boy outside shouted: "The imperial doctor is here, the imperial doctor is here!"
