Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 721 Li Shimin was so angry that he vomited blood
After entering the palace, Changsun Wuji went straight to the Ganlu Hall to see the emperor.During this period of time, Li Shimin was full of energy, state affairs and family affairs were going well, the Tang Empire was booming, and the Li family had nothing to worry about. Once he was in a good mood, his body would naturally follow suit.

It is rare for Li Shimin to write big characters in the hall. On the huge desk, spread big paper. He holds a big brush and writes only one character on each piece of paper, which is big and thick with ink.

After writing the word "Heaven", Li Shimin straightened up and said with a smile, "How is this character written?"

Shi Zhongchen clapped his hands beside him, and said with a smile: "Okay, your majesty writes this character well, it is so powerful that it penetrates the back of the paper, and it is very imposing. If the old slave guesses correctly, you will write the word '下' for the next character!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You guessed it right, don't I have to write the word 'next' in my next character!"

While talking, a little eunuch came in and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson asked for an audience, saying that there is an urgent military situation, and it is an emergency memorial sent from Silla!"

Li Shimin let out an ah, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said, "An emergency memorial from Silla? Hurry up and enter the palace."

The little eunuch agreed and quickly left.

Li Shimin threw away the brush in his hand, and said to himself: "The emergency memorial sent by Silla means that something happened in Goguryeo. If it was Baekje, Silla would not ask for help."

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly cleared the table, and whispered, "I don't know what happened to His Royal Highness King Wu. Didn't he go to Yingzhou? It's very close to Goguryeo."

Li Shimin exclaimed, and said: "Yingzhou is on the west side of Goguryeo, and Silla is on the east side of Goguryeo. The war in the east has nothing to do with the west side." As he spoke, he sat down on the dragon couch.

Changsun Wuji strode into the hall, saluted and said: "The old minister sees the emperor. Just now, Shang Shuxing received the letter of credence from Silla, and it is for help. The old minister dared not delay, and sent it to the emperor immediately!"

Shi Zhongchen trotted over, took the memorial and forwarded it to Li Shimin.Li Shimin opened his eyes and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, Goguryeo attacked Silla. That Yuangai Suwen really doesn't stop. He's causing trouble for me again."

The emergency memorial sent by Silla said that Goguryeo sent troops to the east and captured two cities of Silla, and Silla sent troops to resist the enemy. When they were fighting with Goguryeo soldiers, Baekje sent troops to help Goguryeo, and sent troops to bite them hard. Silla's one bite caused Silla to be attacked on both sides, and both sides were defeated.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo and Baekje have a good relationship. Whenever I use troops against Goguryeo in the Central Plains, Baekje will always intervene in it, so that Goguryeo can advance and retreat, and there is always room for maneuver. The old minister thought, We should increase our support for Silla, and let Silla hold back Baekje so that it cannot support Goguryeo, so that we, Tang Dynasty, can concentrate on dealing with Goguryeo and destroy this land of dung.”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Of course, but there is no rush. Let Silla fight Baekje and Goguryeo first. When it fails, we can send reinforcements later."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it should be. Maybe Goguryeo and Baekje will retreat after a few battles without sending troops to help. Their capital, why don't they fight desperately, it's normal for a war to drag on for two or three months."

Li Shimin said: "Isn't that right? Let's wait until Silla can no longer sustain it. We will encircle Wei to save Zhao and attack Goguryeo from Liaodong. Goguryeo can only retreat from Silla, but Silla has no problem dealing with Baekje Yes. Baekje is a small country, nothing to worry about."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Your Majesty, you are right. Only when these foreign countries are weak will they attach more closely to my Tang Dynasty. If they become stronger, then there will be more troubles. If Silla is always strong Go on, who knows what will happen in the future, we must guard against it."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are both scheming people. They really predicted it right. When Silla became stronger, it really became a demon, but it was soon suppressed by the Tang army. This is a later story.

Li Shimin said: "This matter is not urgent, we will talk about it later. Ke'er's kid went to Yingzhou, and there has been no news of him coming back. How is he in Yingzhou? Wuji, do you have any news about him? Why has it been so long, this kid And don't write a memorial back."

Changsun Wuji thought: "The news about him may be sent to Beijing in a few days, but it is definitely not good news." He said: "No, when King Wu went to Yingzhou, he was like a bird entering the forest , and there is no news."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Wuji, why do you describe it like this? Even if Ke'er is ignorant, it is impossible for him to do anything special. It may be that he has just arrived in Yingzhou, and there are so many things that he has not had time to write a memorial. Send someone to remind you Just remind him, see if he has any difficulties, and help him if necessary, he is your nephew, you should get along with each other in harmony, so I can rest easy."

"Yes, what the emperor said is true. The old minister's mind is a bit narrow." Changsun Wuji said, but after a pause, he continued: "But the old minister has always thought that it is not the best candidate for King Wu to go to Yingzhou to contain Goguryeo. , the Goguryeo people are insidious and cunning, maybe they will do something to King Wu."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Are you talking about assassination? It's possible. How about you choose a strong guard force from Beijing and send it to Yingzhou to protect Ke'er, but the number should not be too large, so as not to cause panic in Goguryeo. End the war against Silla, that would be bad."

He was afraid that his son would lose in Yingzhou, and he didn't want Goguryeo to suffer too little damage in the war against Silla. He sincerely didn't want the war to end early. On the contrary, the longer the fight, the better.

Changsun Wuji agreed, and said: "The old minister will go to select soldiers, and we will be able to leave in a few days. Your Majesty, do you think a regiment of 400 people is enough?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said: "Double it, send 1000 people there, it would be better if they are all strong soldiers and generals, only such generals will protect Ke'er, I can rest assured!"

Changsun Wuji sighed: "Poor parents in the world, the emperor's love for King Wu really moved the veteran!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Which father is not like this, Wuji, you are like this with your son!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and didn't say anything else, but thought in his heart: "Your Majesty, the better you treat Li Ke, the more you will be sad when you know his wolfish ambitions!"

After talking for a while, Changsun Wuji resigned and left the palace.Two days later, the letter from the governor of Youzhou was sent to Chang'an, and it was also first sent to Shangshu Province, and then to Changsun Wuji for review.

Changsun Wuji read the letter and was overjoyed.Okay, Li Ke, you are really impatient... No, you cannot be said to be impatient, but the Goguryeo people are impatient. They don't understand the situation in my Tang Dynasty, and they think that the sooner they can use you as a pawn, the better. However, I don’t know that it’s too early to launch a rebellion now. The rebellion in a single state just wants me to have a hard time coping with Tang Dynasty.

He took the letter, entered the palace again, and asked to see the emperor.

Today was the Great Court Meeting, and he had already gone to court in the morning. Changsun Wuji's letter was sent after he returned to Shangshu Province after he left the court. This time he entered the palace, it was the second time in a day.

Li Shimin was surprised when he was informed by the little eunuch, if there hadn't been a major change, then Changsun Wuji would rarely enter the palace twice in one day.

Shi Zhongchen was also very surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, but the war in Silla has changed, and Silla will not be able to support it so soon?"

Li Shimin felt a little annoyed, and said: "No, Silla is not a weak country, how could it be possible that another emergency memorial was sent in just two days, it probably happened from another place. Hurry up and go to the palace , don't delay."

Shi Zhongchen ran out personally and welcomed Changsun Wuji in. He asked ahead of time: "Master Changsun, is there something wrong? If it's not too important, it's okay to say it later, the emperor is not in a good spirit today. , can't hear..."

Before the words were finished, Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves and said: "You have to listen if you don't want to hear it, or if things get serious, then what you hear will be even more serious. Little one, just settle down quickly!"

Shi Zhongchen said ah, thinking: "Settled? Isn't this word often used by Wang Ping'an? Why did Old Wuji also say it!"

Changsun Wuji quickly entered the hall, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has just received a letter from the governor of Youzhou. The matter is about the King of Wu. Do you want to listen now, or do you want to be steady first, and then the old minister will talk about it?"

Li Shimin was taken aback and almost jumped up from the dragon bed. He shouted, "Is it a letter from Youzhou? Is it about Ke'er? Oh, no wonder Ke'er hasn't sent a letter back after so long. It turned out to be an accident." Oh, Wuji, Wuji, why didn’t you send your soldiers there earlier, and Ke’er was in danger!”

He thought that Li Ke had been assassinated by a Goguryeo man. The loving father was in a state of great anxiety. He had already lost his two eldest sons, and he couldn't bear to have a third one!

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, King Wu is not in danger. On the contrary, he turned Yingzhou into a dangerous place and pushed the people on the border of our Tang Dynasty into a pit of fire!"

As he spoke, he took out the letter and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the letter and read it once, only halfway through it, he was stunned, as an emperor, why hasn't he experienced it?He has beaten his father and his elder brother and younger brother, and he has also been betrayed by his son. He knows everything, everything!

However, he did not expect that the son he cared for, the son Li Ke whom he said most resembled him, would betray him, and not only betrayed his father, but also betrayed the country!
With a sweet throat, a mouthful of blood poured into Li Shimin's mouth. He forced it down, but his body swayed, and he fell heavily on the dragon couch.

Changsun Wuji and Shi Zhongchen were shocked, and rushed up together, shouting!
