Since Zhang Chong left Beijing, Li Kuan still went to court as usual the next day, without seeing anything unusual. Except for the Shang Dynasty, all other affairs are ignored, and the six Shangshu books are allowed to report independently, and Shangshu Ling has become a kind of suspended position. Even though the war in Liaodong was tense, Li Kuan was still indifferent and had an attitude of nothing to do with himself.
The officials of various ministries of the imperial court were very busy, but Li Kuan had nothing to do.
Five days later, a news that seemed like a bolt from the blue sky spread like wildfire and reached Li Kuan's ears, making him a little baffling and a little surprised.
Li Tai, the king of Donglai County, was escorted back to Beijing from Luzhou!
The news spread quickly in the capital, and Li Kuan still heard a lot of news in the Da'an Palace. At the same time, Li Shimin issued an edict to the entire Datang as if there was an earthquake, and everyone was shocked.
"Uncle Emperor, what are you talking about? He was infected with the disease?" Li Daozong hurried to Da'an Palace and told Li Kuan about the specific situation, because he had another suspicion that Li Tai's situation was almost always Li Tai's situation. The wide movement of hands and feet, to say that the white point is nothing more than a reminder and a sniff.
Li Daozong knew that Li Tai was involved in the matter of that day. If you want to say who hates Li Tai and Li Kuan the most in the Tang Dynasty, Li Daozong had to come here in person, and the two had a secret conversation. In addition, if Li Daozong came alone, even if he was known, he would not make irresponsible remarks.
"It's true!" Li Daozong replied sonorously, silent for a moment, staring at Li Kuan intently, and whispered: "Is this matter related to you?"
Li Kuan immediately shook his head and denied: "Of course it has nothing to do!"
"Really?" Li Daozong looked at Li Kuan again with uncertain eyes, and Li Kuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Uncle Emperor, do you suspect that I sent someone to touch him?"
Li Daozong nodded uncontrollably, and Li Kuan was depressed, feeling speechless: "Uncle Emperor, this matter really has nothing to do with me!"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Li Daozong observed the matter for a long time and made sure that Li Kuan hadn't concealed it. Then he took a sigh of relief and said earnestly: "Since you didn't do it, then I will go back. If it is too long, I'm afraid there is something wrong!"
"Then I'll send you out!" Li Daozong nodded in agreement. Li Kuan personally took Li Daozong out of the house. When the two were walking side by side, Li Daozong quietly reminded: "But Li Tai said exactly the opposite of what you said, although he didn't name him directly. It was you who sent someone there, but the meaning inside and outside the words is very obvious. I believe that the Holy Spirit will order you to go for treatment in the near future. Remember not to do it against you. If you can't bear it, you will make big plans. You have to bear it when you need to endure it. "
"I see!" Li Kuan replied gratefully.
Before leaving the house, Li Daozong said once again: "It really has nothing to do with you!"
Li Kuan nodded fiercely, not laughing or crying, and Li Daozong left with peace of mind. He was afraid that this matter was really related to Li Kuan. If everything was done in vain in that way, and even faced the anger of the current emperor directly, Li Kuan also learned what happened from Li Daozong's words.
After Li Tai contracted the disease, he was sent back to the capital day and night. The imperial doctor who followed Li Tai and went to relieve the disease directly returned to the three of them. From what they said, Li Tai personally went to the panic-stricken area to calm the panicked people. After returning, he had a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea, breathing problems, and his face turned blue and yellow, and he passed out.
After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, his condition improved, but he could not be cured, so he was forced to set off overnight to escort him back to Beijing. Since Li Tai returned to Beijing from an epidemic-affected state and county, he was placed in a mansion alone, and the surroundings were closely guarded to avoid immunization from damaging the capital.
When the news of Li Tai's illness spread to the emperor's ears, he immediately prepared to go and was dissuaded by the crowd, saying that the disease was to prevent the spread of the disease. Worried about the safety of his beloved son, Li Shimin personally ordered all the people from the Tai Hospital to be diagnosed and treated. After a one-night consultation and one day of treatment, it was not easy to control the deterioration of the condition, and it was confirmed that it was not contagious, so Li Shimin immediately went out. Visit in front of the palace.
Li Tai, who had escaped from the dead, looked sallow, his whole body was thin, his bruised eye sockets seemed to have been beaten by someone, and the sinking of his eye sockets seemed like a low-lying place. Li Shimin was distressed, and he immediately felt distressed. Red eyes silently accompany him around.
Li Tai cried with joy and wept bitterly when he saw his father visiting him. Li Shimin's heartache aches, and he faintly regretted being crowned Li Tai. Li Tai woke up crying about his incompetence and embarrassed the royal family, which moved Li Shimin even more.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tai cried and said goodbye, as if he was parting from life and death, and directly staged a drama of father-son relationship. Li Shimin couldn't bear it. He felt sorry for Li Tai, who had suffered, and directly ordered him to postpone his decision to leave Beijing, so that he could rest in Beijing with peace of mind.
As a result, Li Tai cried bitterly, saying that he was not willing to accept his father and the queen, and Li Shimin was moved and asked why Li Tai got sick. Unexpectedly, Li Tai concealed it, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable. This made Li Shimin feel that something was strange, and it was only after repeated pressures that he told the whole story.
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with King Chu, it's your own problem!"
Li Tai made clear that it was not Li Kuan’s relationship. In fact, he deliberately set up a set to induce Li Shimin to think about Li Kuan. This made Li Shimin love his son and hate Li Kuan deeply. He did not expect Li Kuan to be so vicious. Actually he was really cruel to Li Tai, completely disregarding brotherhood.
"This rebellious son really shouldn't be allowed to live!" Li Shimin was furious, and blatantly accused Li Kuan of not being a human being. On the other hand, Li Tai was proud of his heart. What he wanted was this result, deliberately instigating their relationship, to put it plainly. The point is to avenge yourself.
Under Li Shimin’s persecution, Li Tai tremblingly told his passing, saying that he went to the disaster area to comfort the people, but he didn’t want those people to rush towards him like crazy. That’s how he contracted the disease. As for The imperial doctor did not say what kind of disease, in short, this disease came faster than before.
In order to make Li Tai feel at ease, Li Shimin ordered the people not to tell Li Tai the truth. On the other hand, he directly ordered the whole country to convene famous doctors to treat Li Tai. Because Li Tai's condition was stable, but he was not completely out of danger, and Li Tai didn't know about it, he thought he was cured.
Because Li Tai deliberately induced Li Shimin to believe that Li Kuan was behind the scenes, Li Shimin became more and more aware of Li Kuan, and even summoned the six books of Shangshu to directly impose any matter without reporting to the Shangshu Order. To say that the white point is deprived of Li Kuan. All power.
Because of this, Li Kuan simply stopped going to court, and had no power anyway. However, his actions even angered Li Shimin, thinking that Li Kuan was pampered and arrogant, and the relationship between father and son became more and more rigid, and the gap between each other became bigger and bigger.
Li Kuan learned from Li Daozong’s story about Li Tai’s illness, a suspicion arose in his heart, still calmly as if he didn’t know, because he was waiting for Zhang Chong to return to Beijing, only when he came back did he know what happened in Luzhou. thing. (End of this chapter)
