Chapter 298

Li Shimin made a sound, and said: "Didn't he just leave, why did he come back again? Announce him to come in!"

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly agreed, and ran out of the hall with small steps, to announce Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi.

Li Shimin only thought about it for a while, and then he understood that Ke'er stole Zhi'er's limelight, and his uncle naturally helped his nephew.Alas, what good theory is there, who should be hurt and who should not be hurt, is there no sense in my heart!

Changsun Wuji dragged Li Zhi into the main hall, and after saluting Li Shimin, he said, "Your Majesty, just now when the old minister went to the East Palace, he saw the crown prince was sighing. When the old minister asked him why he was sighing, he actually said that he wanted to participate in the Shikeng Village's demonstration." I want to work for the imperial court and share the emperor's worries. I can tell how dangerous the smallpox incident is. Naturally, the veteran will not agree, but no matter how I persuade him, he refuses to listen, so I have to drag him to see the emperor. Your majesty, you Advise the prince, don't let him put himself in danger!"

Li Shimin was taken aback, sat up straight from the bed, and asked, "Zhier, why do you think so?"

Li Zhi had a bitter face and thought: "Where do I have ideas, it's all my uncle's ideas, and it has nothing to do with me!" He said: "My son, my son wants to share the worries of the father and the emperor, and also wants to let the people get rid of it as soon as possible." Suffering from smallpox, so I want to participate in the dialectical examination!"

Li Shimin's face was uncertain, he didn't say anything, and he didn't think of what to say in a hurry!
But Changsun Wuji said heartbrokenly: "Prince, the old minister's good prince. It is good that you show filial piety to the emperor and want to share state affairs for the emperor. It is also good that you care about the common people and care for the people... But , but you can’t take risks yourself, it’s such a dangerous thing to identify smallpox, how can you let it go, if you have something wrong, the emperor will be so sad, and who will take care of the people in the world in the future where are they?"

He stomped his feet anxiously, with an expression that you love Datang too much, your father too much, but you don't love yourself too much, as if Li Zhi is a good prince who sacrifices himself for others!
Li Shimin understood as soon as he heard it, in order to overshadow Li Ke, this is to grab credit, so as not to let others gossip, the prince's gossip must never be said, it is really good to say and not good to hear!
Glancing at his eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin thought to himself: "Wuji, Wuji, this child has made you worry, I'm afraid he can't do without your support for the rest of his life!"

Dialectical how to prevent smallpox, the matter is over, but the news has not spread. Unlike usual, in order to keep the "exclusive news", Li Ke did not let the reporter shout along the street. He did this for his own sake. Father's favor.

But he forgot the important point, if you don't share the credit with others, then no matter how great your credit is, you will never be rewarded!
Isn't Li Ke playing exclusive news? It's okay if it's not exclusive. Not only is it not good for him, but it doesn't let the people know that the news is from him, but it gives others a chance to play tricks!To please the emperor?He can't even get a little scum of favor!
Li Shimin hummed and spoke nonsense with his long eyes open. He actually followed Changsun Wuji's words and said, "Yes, how dangerous it is to prove the smallpox matter, and now is the most critical juncture. Li Ji and Wang Ping'an Encountered unprecedented difficulties, there is no solution, now is the most critical moment, but also the most dangerous moment! Zhi'er, are you really going?"

Li Zhi thought to himself: "Can I not go, I really don't want to go!" He nodded solemnly, clenched his hands into fists, and said loudly: "Father, my son has made up his mind and must go. The case of smallpox diagnosis has reached the most critical moment. Without the help of my ministers, Li Ji and Wang Ping'an would not have been able to complete the diagnosis no matter what. Therefore, my ministers must go and complete the diagnosis by themselves, so as to solve smallpox forever for the people of the world. suffering!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was overjoyed and thought: "Good boy, that's right, you should say that, you finally know how to be a good prince! Whether you are a prince or you become an emperor in the future, you must Keep in mind that all the credit is yours, you must be clear about this, only then can the common people love you, and your throne will be secure!"

In the distance, Shi Zhongchen, who was standing under the pillar, thought to himself: "The thicker the skin, the bigger the official. The eldest grandson has a thicker skin than me, so his official is bigger than mine. In fact, my It's not too thin-skinned, but if I teach the prince to say such a thing, I... really can't teach it!"

The proof is over. Everyone in the hall knows that there is no danger, but everyone pretends not to know, insisting that it is not over. If you want others to believe it, you must first believe it yourself!
Li Shimin let out a long sigh and said after a long while: "Loyal minister, pass on the decree and call all civil and military officials to discuss the matter in the Tai Chi Hall!"

Shi Zhongchen groaned and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to hold a court meeting?"

"Exactly, hurry up and deliver the decree without delay!" Li Shimin said.

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly said: "Yes, this old slave is going to pass the decree!" He glanced at Li Zhi who was full of "resoluteness", and then at the eldest grandson Wuji who was so moved that he was about to burst into tears , I thought to myself: "A good prince who knows what shame is, has been taught badly by you!"

After trotting out of Ganlu Hall, Shi Zhongchen gave orders to the little eunuchs to go out immediately, summon the ministers, go to Taiji Hall, and hold a grand court meeting!
The ministers in the various yamen were all surprised when they learned that the emperor was going to hold a grand court meeting. Li Shimin had long since stopped handling government affairs in the Taiji Hall. Suddenly there is going to be a big court meeting. Could it be that something big happened?

Wouldn't it be to conquer Goguryeo again, or to start a war with the Turks?
The ministers are all in a hurry, if it is not such an important matter, why go to the Tai Chi Hall?After receiving the news, the ministers immediately ran out of their yamen and rushed to the palace, and those ministers and workers who were not qualified to participate in the Great Court Assembly were also terrified. What's the matter? Could something serious happen to the country?I no longer have the mind to work, guess wildly, and get together with a good relationship, and talk a lot!

Who dares to neglect such a big event?Although there were many ministers, within a short time, all of them entered the palace and arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.Li Shimin was already waiting in the hall, and Prince Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji also came, and everyone had serious expressions.

The ministers were even more shocked. What happened? It seems that it is definitely not a good thing!They didn't know the smallpox dialectic yet, and the final result had already been reached. This is all thanks to Li Ke. If it weren't for him, it would have spread all over Chang'an by now, and everyone knew about it!

After the ministers entered the hall, they greeted the emperor, and then lined up on both sides in groups, speaking quietly to the emperor.

Seeing that all the courtiers had arrived, Li Shimin was silent for a long time before he said: "Dear dear friends, the latest news has come from Shikeng Village, and the demonstration of how to prevent smallpox cannot go on!" After finishing speaking, he sighed tone.

The emperor didn't lie, and the dialectical examination really couldn't go on, because it had already been done!

The ministers in the palace were all surprised, unable to argue anymore?It's nothing, it's best to be able to prevent it, but if you can't prevent it, there is no way to do it, you can only accept your fate!
But the key point is that Shikeng Village is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an. If smallpox spreads from there and infects the nearby people, it will be very bad. The plague can run faster than a horse, and it will easily destroy Chang'an. Doomed!

A minister stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be taken lightly. People should be sent there immediately. The village should be burned, and the forest should be burned. Even if the identification fails, smallpox must not be allowed to spread. what!"

The ministers nodded one after another. Everyone thinks so. To persuade Li Shimin to make a decision, this kind of thing cannot be delayed!

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "But the smallpox case is related to the common people all over the world. Although there are difficulties, I still hope that this case can go on."

Changsun Wuji came out of court and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that although manpower can defy the heavens, but when we do things, we will eventually encounter the censure of the heavens. If we want to solve the difficulties in Shikeng Village, the son of heaven should go to him personally." , can solve this difficulty!"

After hearing this, the ministers said together, no wonder the grand court meeting was held in the Tai Chi Hall, it turned out that it was because of this, could it be that the emperor decided to go to Shikeng Village in person?

This can't be done!
The ministers all knelt down to Li Shimin, shouting indiscriminately, saying everything, but the meaning was the same, the emperor is the king of a country, but we must not take this risk.Smallpox is such a disease that people only get it once in a lifetime, but in case something unexpected happens, the emperor is the son of heaven, unlike the people, the common people get it once, the emperor gets it twice...

Amidst the noise, Li Zhi strode to the center of the hall, lifted the corner of his robe, knelt down to Li Shimin, and said loudly: "Father, my son is willing to go to Shikeng Village on your behalf to meet Li Ji and Wang Ping'an, Carry on the dialectic, share worries for the emperor, for the common people...for the benefit of the common people!"

Although the scene was chaotic, his voice was so loud that it drowned out all the noisy voices of the ministers.The ministers all looked at Li Zhi, and thought in their hearts: "The gentle prince, why did he suddenly become manly and take the initiative to take the risk? I have known him for more than [-] years, and I have never seen him like this!"

Those who can participate in the Great Court Meeting are not all the figures in Lingyan Pavilion, most of them are promoted later by virtue of their ability.Being able to stand here means that their brains are good, and they will definitely not be able to qualify for being confused!
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and they immediately understood that the debate must be over, and the final result must have been reached, and the final result was successful, [-]% without deviation!

With the blink of an eyelid, all the ministers understood, there was no one who was still "confused", and they all knew what to do next!

With a bang, the ministers yelled together: "His Royal Highness, absolutely not, you are a body of golden branches and jade leaves, how can you take risks, how can you guide smallpox differentiation, this is too dangerous!"

Some ministers simply knelt down to Li Zhi and shouted: "Prince, you have paid too much for the emperor, the country, the court, and the common people in the world! As ministers, we cannot share your worries for you. It's dereliction of duty!"

Some were even more exaggerated, shouting: "His Royal Highness, listen to the old minister's persuasion, you must not go! Let the old minister take risks for you! If you want to die, let the old minister die!"

Several ministers suddenly burst into tears and tried hard to dissuade Li Zhi, as if if Li Zhi didn't listen to their persuasion...of course Li Zhi would be fine, but they were about to cry and die soon!
Suddenly a middle-aged minister shouted: "It's all the fault of this minister that I can't share the worries of the emperor and the prince. It has nothing to do with others. I am willing to apologize with death!" past!
It's just that his run-up speed was a bit slower, and before his head hit the pillar, he was pulled back by a group of ministers.The ministers all shouted: "No, it's not your fault, it's my fault, it's all my fault!"

"You are all wrong, and the reason why you are wrong is that you are not wrong, but I am the one who is wrong!" Another minister shouted.

Usually, when it comes to taking responsibility, these ministers all shrink back, but now they all take it on themselves, and they all say that others are not at fault, have no responsibility, and it is all their own responsibility!
Above the main hall, there were cries, shouts, noises, shouting, and chaos, just like a vegetable market!
Li Shimin was silent, Li Zhi was stunned, Changsun Wuji tilted his head, watching the performance of the officials, and a few old officials who were old and no longer need to rely on flattery to get promoted and get rich, looked up at the beam of the hall, Nothing to say, nothing to say!

Shi Zhongchen looked at the chaotic hall and sighed in his heart, even the best song and dance girl in the world could not perform this good show, and the best drama in the world is not in the dance hall, but in the court hall !
He thought to himself: "It is said that in the era of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the laws were not strict. Some ministers went to the palace drunk, and when the monarchs and ministers were discussing affairs, they were happy. Chao Gang. I used to not believe that the court is such a solemn place, how can there be courtiers so presumptuous, but now I believe it! Although the court hall is small, it can pretend to be a person of the world, and act out the various forms of all beings in the world! "

Li Shimin watched the ministers desperately expressing their loyalty, and thought to himself: "My ministers are not as shameful as those in the previous Sui Dynasty!" He waved his hand and said, "My intention has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it. Let the prince Go to Shikeng Village on my behalf, and carry out the smallpox case to the end!"

The ministers were about to "persuade", but when Li Shimin waved his hand, he quickly stopped crying and called out to the emperor's wisdom!

Li Shimin gave the order to open Chengtian Gate, and he personally took Li Zhi out of Chengtian Gate, and asked Li Zhi to go to Shikeng Village via Zhuque Street!

The imperial army was so busy that they prepared their cars, protected Li Shimin and Li Zhi, and came out from Chengtianmen, with all civil and military officials following behind.The flags were fluttering and the embroidery ribbons were fluttering, so that everyone outside knew about it and ran out to watch the fun!
