As dusk approached, the army was still heading west.
There are more than a hundred people behind the army, everyone's face is full of fatigue, but they still follow the soldiers in front of them. They have entered a small desert, and if they don't follow those who know the way closely, they may get lost in the vast yellow sand.
The leader is Dai Ting.
Most of the team were brave and strong men who had been on the battlefield. At first, they were a little contemptuous of Dai Ting. Their minds were full of the bright future Li Yuanying had outlined for them: gold, houses, wives and children!
Therefore, on the surface, obeying Dai Ting's command is just that he is Li Yuanying's trustworthy person. But along the way, everyone admired this seemingly frail young man. Although he was young and an eunuch, he never cried out that he was tired. On the way, a person who had been provoking him had a sudden illness. He was not in a hurry or impatient, and he didn't let go of it. He asked for medicine and healed the other person's illness before rushing to catch up with Hou Junji's army.
The burly man standing by his side now is the one who is suffering from sudden illness. If anyone dares to disobey the order and act without authorization, this man will pick up his dick and want to fight with the other party. Dai Ting's attitude towards this burly man has not changed much, he still wears a mask every day, and only opens his mouth to arrange things when there is a need for division of labor.
After walking for more than two months, none of them was missing. The army in front was somewhat lagging behind, and there was no way to do that. After all, not everyone could adapt to such a difficult long-distance march.
At night, they camped on the spot, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun sat and drank wine. Mentioning the group of people following behind, Hou Junji said in amazement: "I thought they would retreat in the face of difficulties if they followed, but I didn't expect to be able to follow them for so long. It seems that they may really follow to Gaochang."
Xue Wanjun said: "It's only a hundred people, so it's okay to follow. This is considered optimistic about us, right? Otherwise, the war is extremely dangerous, who wants to take risks?"
Hou Junji laughed and said, "That's right, let them go."
If only Li Yuanying's people, Hou Junji, would not care about it at all, but there are also people sent by His Majesty Li Er's descendants, he still wants to give His Majesty Li Er's face. The situation of the group of people.
However, you don't have to worry too much about it.
Xue Wanjun is right, what can a mere hundred people accomplish
…
Li Yuanying fell asleep and went back. He really didn't have any interest in state affairs. He fell asleep after listening to it for a while, and used His Majesty Li Er's leg as a pillow in a rebellious manner. When it was time to go back to the palace, he still refused to wake up, so His Majesty Li Er picked him up and threw him into the car.
Li Yuanying fell asleep when he was tired from playing, and was very happy, but Li Chengqian did not pass the test so easily. Li Chengqian was scolded again after he went back. His Majesty Li Er and Kong Yingda scolded him bloody, saying that he is not doing his job properly, and wasting money and money to set up a place to roast a whole lamb, so he should read more books!
Li Yuanying heard Li Zhi mention the tragic experience of his eldest nephew, and suddenly felt that these people were too much, and he had eaten it himself, but with a swipe of his mouth, he came to settle accounts again!
Li Yuanying sneaked back to his residence to study the ink, and with a swipe of his brush, he drew a piece of "Monarchs and Ministers Sitting and Chewing Lamb's Hoofs", sneaked outside the meeting hall of His Majesty Li Er, and posted it in a conspicuous place while the guards were not paying attention.
The ministers who were summoned to speak in the meeting hall would pause before entering the door, staring blankly at the painting posted outside, what, what is this? Although the painting is not very realistic, anyone who has met the saint can recognize at a glance that the one in the center is His Majesty Li Er! The others were eating sheep's trotters, obviously Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji!
When did these people gnaw sheep's hooves together and were drawn? !
This question hovered in everyone's mind, but no one dared to ask His Majesty Li Er directly. After all, these people were either the king of a country or important ministers in the court. How could they ask such gossip casually
In the end, I noticed this strange painting when the guards were changing shifts!
The imperial guard quickly tore off the painting and went into the meeting hall to report the matter to His Majesty Li Er.
Fang Xuanling and the others did not go out after arriving at the meeting hall in the morning, so naturally they had no chance to see this painting. Fang Xuanling's face turned green when he took a look at the "Monarch and Minister Sitting and Gnawing Sheep's Hoofs" torn down by the imperial guards, and hurriedly presented it to His Majesty Li Er!
His Majesty Li Er can tell whose masterpiece it is just by looking at it. His face darkened suddenly, and he was furious and asked someone to arrest Li Yuanying.
No wonder many ministers looked strange when they came in today. I dare say that Li Yuanying did such a good thing!
Li Yuanying and Sizi are looking forward to the plan of the sunflower garden. This sunflower garden was originally planted with sunflowers. Now that there are corn and peanuts again, Li Yuanying asked Dong Xiaoyi to plant them together. To be safe, he also asked Dong Xiaoyi to plant them on two farms, lest they all die if they get sick.
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er had sent someone over, Li Yuanying knew that the Dong Chuang incident had happened. He didn't panic, and left the excerpted corn planting guide and peanut planting guide for Sizi and the others to watch and play, and he obediently followed the guards to the meeting hall to meet His Majesty Li Er.
Seeing Li Yuanying's obedient appearance, His Majesty Li Er became even more angry, threw the "great work" on the case, and asked, "What is this?!"
Li Yuanying ran to His Majesty Li Er calmly, flattened the "magnificent work" that was crumpled by His Majesty Li Er, and explained to His Majesty Li Er sincerely: "I had so much fun yesterday that I woke up in the morning I have been thinking about eating roasted whole lamb, so I just drew it! After I finished the painting, I thought that you have been so kind to me, Brother Huang, so I should give this painting to you! But when I get here Later, I felt that you were busy with business and I shouldn't disturb you, so I posted it outside, thinking that you would see it after you finished your work!" Li Yuanying said triumphantly, "Look, you You can see it!"
His Majesty Li Er looked at the four monarchs and ministers who gnawed on the sheep's hooves in the painting, his face twitched twice, and he scolded with a sneer: "Try to talk nonsense again."
Li Yuanying immediately shut up.
His Majesty Li Er looked at him: "Tell me, why did you draw this?"
"Yesterday you and old Kong and the others obviously ate too. Why are you scolding Chengqian?" Li Yuanying sat down next to His Majesty Li Er, and uprightly defended his eldest nephew, "Sage Kong said it all. , don’t do it to others! You must also hate being scolded, why do you scold Chengqian every now and then!"
His Majesty Li Er said: "Chengqian is the crown prince, he should pay attention to every word and deed!"
Li Yuanying said boldly: "But the crown prince still has you, brother?" He raised his head and looked straight at His Majesty Li Er, "You see, you are in the prime of life, you don't even have gray hair, let alone you can live After dozens of years, Cheng Qian should have had enough fun first! Otherwise, he would have been so tired since he was a child, how uncomfortable it is!"
Meeting Li Yuanying's dark eyes, His Majesty Li Er was silent for a while. Although he is only in his forties, but the world is impermanent, who can guarantee how many years he can live? His queen was only in her early thirties, didn't she leave behind a few young children to die
His Majesty Li Er spoke to Li Yuanying in a solemn and serious tone: "Our Tang Dynasty will win the world immediately, but we cannot govern the country immediately. I don't want Cheng Qian to read the classics thoroughly, but he can't indulge in hunting all day long. This not only wastes your studies, but also disappoints the people with lofty ideals in the world. Since Chengqian has become the prince, you have to take up the responsibility of the prince." He said in a deep voice, "You only see that my hair has not yet grown white, but you don't know that I have half a life as a soldier. , there are countless hidden injuries on his body, let alone dozens of years, I am afraid that he will go away with his father and your emperor's wife in a few years. If Chengqian is always so ridiculous, how can you let me rest assured?"
Li Yuanying was stunned.
He thought of the death of his father and his wife.
Both of them got sick and couldn't afford it, and they never woke up again.
Li Yuanying said: "Can't it be cured?"
His Majesty Li Er said: "It has already become a long-standing disease, which cannot be cured." This is also the reason why he often goes out to escape the heat in summer. The Daxing Palace left by the Sui Dynasty is humid and hot in summer, which can easily induce his old disease.
Li Yuanying grabbed His Majesty Li Er's hand and said stubbornly: "Brother Huang will surely live a hundred years in good health!" He gave an example to His Majesty Li Er, "Look at the old scholar Xiao, he is eighty-three years old this year. Spirit! Brother Huang will also live to be a hundred years old!"
His Majesty Li Er said: "If you don't cause trouble, I might live a few more years."
Li Yuanying was a little sad. After talking with His Majesty Li Er, he ran back and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't sleep at night. He tossed and turned on the couch for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, got up and put on his clothes, and ran along the corridor to the East Palace.
It was rainy in spring, and after nightfall, there was a drizzle of drizzle falling, which made the whole palace wet and foggy.
When everyone in the East Palace saw that Li Yuanying had arrived, they hurriedly led him in. Li Chengqian was obviously fined, and he was still copying books with the lamp on at the moment. Hearing that King Teng was coming, he was taken aback for a moment and asked someone to bring Li Yuanying in quickly.
The night in February was a bit cold, Li Chengqian saw that Li Yuanying was wearing thin clothes and was still wet from the rain, so he asked someone to bring hot soup over quickly. After finishing the order, Li Chengqian asked Li Yuanying why he came so late.
Li Yuanying said, "I can't sleep."
This is really strange to Li Yuanying. Li Chengqian has never heard of a time when Li Yuanying couldn't fall asleep. Like yesterday, Li Yuanying fell asleep directly on his father's body. He didn't even think that his father threw him into the car. Wake up and sleep until you get back to the palace! How could a guy who can sleep like this be unable to sleep
Li Chengqian wondered: "Why can't you fall asleep?"
Li Yuanying said what His Majesty Li Er had said to him during the day. No one would joke about life and death, not even His Majesty Li Er, who is the king of a country, that's why Li Yuanying was sad and scared. He said: "Could it be that there is no one in the imperial hospital who can heal the emperor's injury? In such a large imperial hospital, with so many imperial doctors, there is not a single one who is powerful?"
Although Brother Huang is very fierce, he still doesn't want Brother Huang to leave them.
Li Chengqian didn't answer Li Yuanying's words, he was already stunned.
Li Chengqian also thought of his mother.
Such a sudden illness took away his mother in just half a year. He begged to visit a famous doctor, prayed to God and worshiped Buddha, and even wanted to ask His Majesty Li Er to forgive the world, but in the end it was to no avail. At that time, he thought, what's the use of his father being the emperor, what's the use of him being the prince, even the mother can't keep the queen!
Now, Li Yuanying said that his father is also suffering from chronic diseases.
The scenes after Empress Changsun fell ill resurfaced in Li Chengqian's mind.
In that case, the royal father never told him, the royal father only kept making demands on him, and Kong Yingda and the others kept advising him. He never thought about the possibility that his father, who is in his prime, would leave them at any time. Li Chengqian was silent for a long time before consoling Li Yuanying bluntly: "No, father is in good health, and some old injuries are not that serious."
Li Yuanying was still worried, and took Li Chengqian's hand and said, "I heard from Li Chunfeng that there is a very powerful doctor named Sun Simiao, and he is not willing to invite him to be an imperial doctor! Otherwise, Chengqian, you can find a way to invite him back." Bar!"
Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao are both Taoist priests, but they focus on different things. One is engaged in fortune calculation and product development, while the other is engaged in medical research. Li Yuanying went to chat with Li Chunfeng in his spare time, and he heard many legendary stories from Li Chunfeng one after another, and Sun Simiao was one of them. It's just that Li Yuanying didn't need any famous doctor at all, so he didn't take it to heart at all. Now that there is a need, he will think of this person!
Li Chengqian also thought it was a solution. He nodded and agreed to Li Yuanying's request: "Okay, I'll send someone to look for it. If he doesn't want to come, I'll invite him personally!"
Hearing Li Chengqian's promise, Li Yuanying drank the hot soup that Li Chengqian asked someone to bring, and went back to sleep happily.
Now that Li Chengqian had been asked to find the genius doctor Sun Simiao, Li Yuanying had no worries, and fell asleep very soundly soon after washing and changing clothes.
Instead, Li Chengqian lay down with his eyes open until dawn.
The author has something to say:
Little prince: Can't sleep, wait for me to relieve the pressure
Little Prince: Alright, the transfer is over.
Eldest nephew: Can't sleep...
