The matter went smoothly, and six days later, Gao Zhong brought the beleaguered Sun Simiao back to Prince Liang's mansion.

"You...Are you sure you are Sun Simiao?" Li Yin looked suspiciously at the medicine king in front of him. How could it be so awkward? Why is it so different from what he imagined?

In Li Yin's imagination, Sun Simiao, king of medicine, is at least a man with white beard and white hair, but only when he saw it did he realize how wrong he was. , looks thin and dark like a later generation coal digger.With long black hair and a thick beard, he doesn't look like an old man in his 60s, but a middle-aged man in his 40s.

"Uh~? Cao Min has been called this name for more than 60 years, and that's for sure!" Sun Simiao was taken aback for a moment, but immediately laughed, and replied after taking Li Yin's words.You can tell he has a great sense of humor.

"Hahaha~, Mr. Sun has a good face, he is really a fairy!" Seeing what the other party said was interesting, Li Yin couldn't help but praised with a smile. According to history books, Sun Simiao lived to be more than 100 years old. I believe it too much, but looking at his young appearance now, I believe that there is absolutely no problem in living to more than 100 years old.Capital Datang 5

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Liang is absurdly praised!" Sun Simiao is worthy of being a person who can enter the history textbooks of later generations. Facing Li Yin's praise, he can still maintain an indifferent demeanor. You must know that Li Yin is the King of Liang, although he does not like Li Shimin. , but he is also a prince, while Sun Simiao is just a well-known grassroots person, and ordinary people have long been smug in the face of this kind of praise.

The two sides sat down to drink tea, and Li Min praised Sun Simiao a few more words, and then Li Min went directly to the topic: "Mr. Sun, I invite you to come to Chang'an this time, and you must be able to guess why, I have an elder who won it." I am seriously ill, and I am dying now, and I would like to ask you to help treat the illness." Li Yin stood up at this point, and bowed solemnly to Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao did not expect that Li Yin would salute to him, so he jumped up from the chair in fright, stretched out his hand to support Li Yin and said, "His Royal Highness Liang killed this old man. Healing the sick and saving lives is the duty of a doctor, so it cannot be considered a great gift from His Highness!"

It's all Li Yin's fault. It's been half a month since he came to the Tang Dynasty, but he still can't adapt to his status as a prince. The status and status gap between him and Sun Simiao is huge, so no matter what, he can't salute each other first.This is Sun Simiao. If an ordinary person would kneel on the ground in fright, after all, where is Li Yin's identity?

Only then did Li Yin realize that he had gone a little too far, he straightened up in embarrassment and invited Sun Simiao to his seat again.Next, Li Yin asked Sun Simiao about health preservation. After all, the appearance of Sun Simiao who did not match his age aroused Li Yin's great interest. No one would not wish to live a few more years.The medical common sense that Li Yin accidentally mentioned during the conversation also aroused Sun Simiao's great interest. Something about medicine?

In the end, Sun Simiao also asked Li Yin about the patient's condition. Unfortunately, Li Yin didn't know much about Empress Changsun's illness. He only knew that it was Qi disease and nothing else.And Sun Simiao was also taken aback when he found out that the patient was Empress Changsun, but he was a master of medicine after all, so he quickly returned to that calm state of mind.

That night, Sun Simiao stayed in the Liang Palace. Early the next morning, Li Min asked Gao Zhong and Sun Simiao to take the letter dictated by Wen'er and written by him to the residence of Li Ke, King of Shu. After all, he was still in confinement. You can't go out at all, let alone bring people into the palace. This matter has to be handled by Li Ke. After all, judging from the performance last time, Li Ke still cares about his brother very much. He is a trustworthy person, so don't worry. He swallowed the merit of his recommendation.

Yongxingfang Shuwangfu, the location of this mansion is very good, just next to the imperial city, but Li Min's Liangwangfu is in Anxingfang, which is far away from the imperial city, which can also show the degree of favor of each prince Generally speaking, the more favored the prince is, the closer the residence is to the imperial city.

In the living room of the palace, the tall and tall Li Ke was holding a letter in his hand, frowning and thinking, while Gao Zhong and Sun Simiao stood below.He is considering whether to recommend Sun Simiao to see a doctor for Empress Changsun?It's not that he didn't believe in Sun Simiao's medical skills. In his letter, Li Min praised Sun Simiao's medical skills as the only one in the world. Li Ke believed that his younger brother would not dare to lie about this kind of thing no matter how messed up he was, but he had Another level of planning.

The mother and concubine of Li Ke and Li Min are Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang and Li Ke's grandfather Li Yuan are cousins, and Concubine Yang and Li Shimin are also cousins. The concubine became a subjugated princess, but the Li family won the world in one fell swoop. Concubine Yang entered the palace when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin. Later, Li Shimin became emperor and was named Concubine Yang. She was one of the four concubines in the palace. All concubines are eligible to be queens.Although Concubine Yang is a subjugated princess, her status is a bit embarrassing, but she and Li Shimin were playmates when they were children, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. Therefore, in the palace full of beauties, the favor she received is only among the eldest grandson empress. Next, this is also the reason why Concubine Yang has the courage to plead for Li Yin again and again.If Empress Changsun dies, Concubine Yang will also have a chance to become the next empress.This is where Li Ke's real heart lies.

The current prince, Li Chengqian, is the same age as Li Ke, but Li Chengqian cannot compare with Li Ke in terms of talent, learning and courage. Even Li Tai, the fourth eldest son, is better than him. Prince.Li Ke is also Li Shimin's son. It would be a lie if he said that he didn't want to fight for the honorable throne, but as long as there was an eldest grandson empress in the palace, the crown prince would definitely only be a direct prince, and he had no chance at all.But now that Empress Changsun is seriously ill, Li Ke can't help but have other ideas.In fact, this is also very normal. As a prince who is unwilling to be ordinary, who dares to say that he has no idea about the throne?

However, Li Ke was extraordinary after all, so he quickly dispelled this unrealistic idea.Because he found that his thinking was too simple. Even if the eldest grandson queen died, anyone could take the queen position, but the only exception was his mother and concubine. The reason was very simple, because the world of the Tang Dynasty was taken from the former Sui Dynasty. , and his mother and concubine are the princesses of the former Sui Dynasty. He and Li Min both have the blood of the former Sui royal family. The prince who is pregnant with the royal blood of the previous dynasty!This has already touched the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that even his father has the same idea.So no matter how much he loves Concubine Yang, Li Shimin will not make Concubine Yang the queen.

Having figured this out, Li Ke also understood that he might not be destined for the throne in this life, which made him feel helpless and hopeless.Gao Chong took Sun Simiao and waited below for a long time, but he didn't see what Li Ke said, so he took a peek and found that the King of Shu's face was cloudy and he didn't know what he was thinking. I can keep my head down and wait.

"Hehe, this king has lost his composure!" After a while, Li Ke came to his senses and said with endless bitterness in his smile.

"Gao Zhong, you go back and tell the sixth brother that I will take Mr. Sun into the palace this afternoon!" Li Ke calmed down his mind and said again.

Gao Zhong agreed, and then slowly withdrew to report to Li Min, while Sun Simiao stayed behind to accept Li Ke's hospitality. In the afternoon, he took Sun Simiao into the palace to treat Empress Changsun.

Gao Zhong came back and reported to Li Yin that Li Yin was roasting the mutton by himself. The cooks in the mansion were good at cooking, but it was a pity that they got tired after a few days of eating, and there were few seasonings in this era, so it would be a waste of time to cook the dishes again and again. Those few flavors, especially the lack of chili peppers, Li Yin in his previous life liked spicy food the most. It can be said that he did not like spicy food. Chewing wax, I lost any appetite.

After seeing Sun Simiao off in the morning, Li Yin didn't have much appetite for breakfast, so he went to the warehouse where the ingredients were stored to see if there was anything interesting and let the cook make it. Unexpectedly, he found it in the corner of the warehouse. A bag of cumin that was almost moldy, this made Li Min overjoyed. Cumin is a good thing, an indispensable seasoning for barbecue and fish, and the key to Xinjiang roast lamb in later generations.

Thinking about it, I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time, and it just so happens that I have the opportunity and time now.Immediately, he called Lao Wu, the cook of King Liang's Mansion. The fifth man was a new chef bought by Prince Liang's Mansion. Because of his good cooking, Li Yin was very fond of him, so he was usually handed over to him to take care of the food.Capital Datang 5

Under Li Yin's command, Lao Wu dried the cumin, then ground the cinnamon bark, Chinese prickly ash, star anise, etc. into fine powder, and made five-spice powder with cumin in a certain proportion.Originally, Li Yin also wanted to make thirteen spices, but he couldn't remember all the thirteen spices, and he also forgot the proportions. In comparison, five-spice powder is much simpler, and the proportion of preparation is not so strict.

After the five-spice powder was prepared, Li Yin set up a barbecue grill in the back garden and started a picnic at home.When Gao Zhong came back, he had already roasted a few skewers, but unfortunately he didn't control the heat properly, and the roast was a bit overdone, so he just gave it to him.As a result, Gao Zhong was so moved that he knelt down and burst into tears again, finally persuaded him with difficulty, and went out with a red face holding the black meat skewers.

Li Yin looked at Gao Zhong's back with some emotion, Gao Zhong was definitely one of the people Tang could trust, but he was still a bit psychologically disturbed when it came to eunuchs, after all, none of the eunuchs recorded in the history books was good Things, that's what Li Yin's education taught him since he was a child, and now he can't change it even if he wants to, so he can't get close to Gao Zhong from the bottom of his heart.

In such a distracted effort, the second batch of meat skewers was sacrificed again, and Li Yin had no choice but to throw them away and feed them to the dogs.It seemed that he was really not a chef, so he called the fifth child to take his place, and he just sat on the side and waited to eat.As expected of a professional, the baked food is different. The meat is red and tender, with a special aroma of cumin, which makes people appetite. If I can have another bottle of cold beer, I will not give it to an emperor. Change! . ..
