Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

"Empress, it's not appropriate to hide the matter of father's poisoning. The palace will know about it sooner or later. Moreover, the other party came prepared, and the target is me and Qingque. For the safety of the bird, put the green bird first..."

Empress Changsun pondered for a while, then nodded solemnly, "That's fine. Let the queen mother do this."

After Empress Changsun settled Li Zhi, she hurried to Wuzheng Hall.

Li Tai was frowning as he listened to the little eunuch's report of the abnormality in Qihui Palace.

"Your Highness, this servant saw General Xu Zhu leave in a hurry, and also saw the Empress taking King Jin to Qihui Hall, and then... and the eldest grandson also hurried here. By the way, Your Highness, this servant also saw it General Yuchi..."

Li Tai got up, paced back and forth, feeling irritable, why did his father suddenly call so many people after he went to Qihui Hall?And the queen mother, why did she take the young slave to Qihui Hall?What the hell happened?Or... what happened to my brother?

Li Tai's heart is complicated.

And at this moment, the little eunuch came to report in a panic, and stammered, "Your Highness, the Empress Empress is here, return, return, bring the Habayashi Army!"

Li Tai was startled, mother queen?

Empress Changsun walked into the Wuzheng Hall with a serious face. Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Just as she was about to speak, Empress Changsun said sharply, "Qing Que! How dare you murder your father?!"

murder? !Li Tai was stunned!Hastily opened his mouth to defend, "Mother, I didn't!"

"You put medicine on Gun Gun, didn't you?"

Rolling? !Li Tai was dumbfounded.I remembered what the maid said yesterday about Gun Gun running to his backyard.

"Come on, guard the Wuzheng Hall immediately. Without my order, you are not allowed to enter or leave at will!" Empress Changsun said coldly.

"Mother!" Li Tai came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed, "Mother! My son is wronged! Mother, son, son have never done such a thing!"

With a cold face, Empress Changsun glanced at Li Tai, who was in a panic, and said to Feng Ye, "Feng Ye, take away the maid that Hong Yu mentioned immediately!"

Seeing that Empress Changsun was about to turn around and leave, Li Tai hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward and kowtowed, "Mother, please listen to my son's explanation."

"If you want to explain, just wait until your father wakes up!"

"Empress Mother, Erchen really didn't do it, yes, yes, it must be the elder brother! It is the elder brother who—"

Snapped!

Li Tai covered his face in a daze and looked at the angry Empress Changsun.

"If it wasn't for your father to save you, the unconscious person would be your elder brother!" Empress Changsun was a little unbelievable, Qing Que, why did you become like this?

Disappointed and sad, he said, "Your brother is in vain...Qing Que, you stay here and wait for your father to wake up before dealing with it."

"No—my queen! I haven't done it, I don't want it! My queen! My queen!..."

Empress Changsun just turned around and slowly left Wuzheng Hall.

********

In Qihui Hall, the night had already fallen at this time.

In the apse, Xu Zhu knelt down in front of Chengqian dressed in ordinary strong clothes.She lowered her head and put a jade pendant on her hands.

Cheng Qian took it and was startled, this jade pendant is so similar to the phoenix pendant given to him by his father?

"Your Highness, the emperor once said that if there is any emergency, this is the emperor's handbook that can command the Second Army of the Imperial Guard and hand it over to His Highness."

Emergency situations?Chengqian grasped the jade pendant subconsciously, what does the emperor's father mean by this order?Could it be that the father had expected this kind of thing to happen early on?He couldn't help turning his head to look at Emperor Taizong, who was lying on the couch behind him, still sleeping with his eyes closed.

"Your Highness, this is the list of the Second Imperial Guard. Please check it out, Your Highness."

Cheng Qian turned around, took it, and opened it. On the front page, it said the contact point of the Second Army of the Imperial Guard, the first one, Chang'an, Chunfeng Tower? !contact person?Shen Junyuan? !

Cheng Qian raised his head fiercely, isn't he a sinner from the previous dynasty?how come?

As if seeing the shock and doubt in Cheng Qian's heart at this time, Xu Zhu said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Mr. Shen joined the Second Imperial Guard four years ago."

four years ago? !Wasn't that when something happened to Shen Junyuan?

Why did the emperor let a former sinner join the Second Imperial Guard?Chengqian's fingers couldn't help turning white with some force.What is the reason why the father did this?

At this time, Xiao Yinzi came in to report, "Your Highness, all the adults have arrived."

Cheng Qian came back to his senses, and said to Xu Zhu lightly, "I see. General Xu, please invite Taoist priest Sun Simiao back." Cheng Qian said solemnly.

Xu Zhu bowed his hands in response.When he turned around and was about to retreat, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the unconscious Emperor Taizong on the couch, and said softly to Cheng Qian who was carefully tucking the quilt for Emperor Taizong, "Your Highness...the emperor has done everything. His reasons."

Cheng Qian paused slightly with his hand tucking the quilt, turned his head to look at Xu Zhu, and said calmly, "I know, General Xu, please rest assured."

After Xu Zhu left, Chengqian turned his head slowly, stared deeply at Emperor Taizong who was lying on the couch, and after a while, he motioned for Xiao Yinzi to step forward and push the wheelchair away.

Come to the front hall of Qihui Hall.

Changsun Wuji and the others were waiting with serious expressions. Empress Changsun, who had already ordered the palace to be under martial law, was not allowed to enter and exit at will, also hurriedly arrived.

Everyone first saluted Empress Changsun and Chengqian, Empress Changsun gestured to Ping, then turned to Chengqian and said, "Ganer, tell me."

Chengqian bowed his hands respectfully to Empress Changsun, "Yes, my son obeys."

Turning his head and slowly scanning around, Cheng Qian said slowly, "I believe all of you have heard that the father was murdered by an adulterer, so that he was poisoned and unconscious. It’s going to trouble you adults.”

Everyone looked at each other. In the end, Changsun Wuji stepped forward first, cupped his hands, and asked solemnly, "Your Highness, I wonder how the Emperor is doing? Can I visit you?"

When Empress Changsun heard this, she frowned and wanted to visit the emperor?Is it possible not to believe her and Qian'er?

The eldest grandson was about to speak, but Cheng Qian spoke first.

Cheng Qian nodded and said, "Of course, my lords, please go to the apse now."

Changsun Wuji clasped his hands in salute, first went to the back hall together with other ministers, visited Emperor Taizong, and then turned back to the front hall.

During this time, Empress Changsun smiled wryly and said to Cheng Qian, "Unexpectedly, even my elder brother doesn't believe us, maybe they think..." Empress Changsun did not continue, but sighed softly.

Chengqian said lightly, "Mother, what uncle did just now was right. If they hadn't done so, I would wonder if they are loyal veterans who have followed father for many years."

Empress Changsun didn't speak again, she just raised her hand and gently touched Cheng Qian's head.

When Changsun Wuji and the others returned to the front hall, Du Ruhui was the first to step forward, and said respectfully, "I don't know what your Highness thinks about the handling of the government?"

"My opinion is this. At present, the father cannot live without people, and the mother needs to control the harem. Therefore, I will stay with the father and take care of it. Let the king of Jin handle the government affairs with the adults."

Everyone was startled.They thought that His Royal Highness King Zhongshan would definitely use this to participate in the government affairs, but they didn't expect...

Wei Zheng showed a smile on his face, looked at Cheng Qian, stepped forward, respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, if there is something that cannot be decided?"

"If the matter is urgent, please ask the adults in the lower sect to make a decision, and get the approval of the majority of opinions. If the matter is not urgent, temporarily suppress it, and deal with it after the father wakes up."

"Also..." Chengqian paused for a moment, and then said softly, "Prince Jin is young, so I would like to trouble you, adults, to give some pointers."

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.But I was also puzzled, why is it the king of Jin and not the king of Wei?Where is King Wei?

"The last thing——" Cheng Qian looked solemn, "Before the father wakes up, please be vigilant, all adults."

"Your Highness, does the capital need to be under martial law?" Fang Xuanling stepped forward and asked seriously.

"No, it's not necessary." Chengqian shook his head slightly, looked at the crowd, and smiled faintly, "My father often told me a word, the stability of the country depends on the people's hearts, and the stability of the people's hearts means the stability of the society. My lords, I believe that with the efforts of your lords, Chang'an is still prosperous. There is no need to worry."

Everyone was shocked, and then ordered to bow their hands to respond.

He said a few more words.Everyone ordered to leave.

When Li Jing was about to leave, Cheng Qian called out, "Teacher."

Li Jing hurriedly turned his head and cupped his hands, "Your Highness is so polite. I don't know what orders Your Highness has?"

Cheng Qian said solemnly, "Teacher, Cheng Qian has something to trouble the teacher."

"Your Highness has any orders, but it doesn't matter."

"I want Yexu and Ah Chong to enter the palace to protect King Jin."

Li Jing was startled, then seeing Chengqian's solemn expression, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty...how did you get poisoned?"

Just now everyone subconsciously avoided this question.

As courtiers, they dare not ask more questions about matters in the court, let alone meddle in them, but they have followed the emperor for many years and will never allow any attempt to subvert the current Li Tang world.And of course, they also doubted in their hearts, the emperor is so shrewd and has martial arts skills, although the palace is not clean enough, but there is no filth going anywhere, how could the emperor be so easily murdered by traitors?

A wry smile overflowed from Cheng Qian's mouth, "It's for me, father...to protect me..." Cheng Qian said with difficulty.

Li Jing was taken aback.

"The traitor wanted to murder me and frame Qingque. Now, Qingque has been imprisoned in Wuzheng Hall by the queen mother, and the young slave is now living with me in Qihui Hall. However, if something happens to me and Qingque, the queen mother The only remaining son is Zhinu. Therefore, the safety of Zhinu must be taken care of by someone trusted by my mother and me. After thinking about it, only Yexu and A Chong are suitable. First of all, they are good at martial arts. Second, Ye Xu is calm and Ah Chong is smart. Their identities are enough, so, teacher, please arrange them into the Habayashi Army immediately."

Li Jing nodded solemnly, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do."

Cheng Qian nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, please tell my eldest granduncle about this."

Li Jing understood.Hand over and leave.

After Li Jing left, Cheng Qian returned to the apse.

Empress Changsun was squatting in front of Li Zhi and whispering something, Li Zhi nodded with a half-understanding face.

"God, everything is arranged?" Empress Changsun got up and asked.

"Well, don't worry, mother. The son has made arrangements." Chengqian tried his best to pull out a smile and said.

Empress Changsun looked at the forced smile on Cheng Qian's face with some distress in her heart, raised her hand and gently touched his head, and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."

Chengqian shook his head slowly, and said in a low voice, "Mother, don't worry, your son is fine." Turning his head again, he said to Li Zhi, "Child slave, starting tomorrow, you will go to court with Uncle Changsun and the others. You are still young, don't be afraid, as long as you Listen more, read more, and think about why. If you don’t understand, just write it down, and brother will explain it to you when you come back. Do you understand?”

Li Zhi nodded obediently, "Chinu understands, Zhinu will watch and listen carefully." After a pause, he said, "Father also said that to Zhinu before."

Cheng Qian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, it seems that the father has already made a decision.

"Ganer, it's getting late, you go to rest." Empress Changsun couldn't help opening her mouth when she saw Cheng Qian finished speaking and Cheng Qian's unconcealable exhaustion.

Cheng Qian nodded, "Okay, Queen Mother, you go back first. Sizi and Gao Yang need to be taken care of by Queen Mother." After a pause, he lowered his voice, "Queen Mother, there are still some people who need Queen Mother to pay attention to..."

Empress Changsun understood, patted Chengqian's head, and said softly, "The queen mother knows, you have to rest yourself." After hesitating for a while, before turning around, she said, "Ganer, trust the queen mother, your father will be fine. .”

Cheng Qian clenched his hands into fists, but there was a faint smile on his face, "I know."

After seeing off Empress Changsun, she coaxed Li Zhi to sleep again.

Only then did Cheng Qian slowly return to his dormitory. The ancient imperial physician had just finished getting the needles and was packing up his things. Seeing Cheng Qian coming in, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted with Hong Yu.

Cheng Qian waved his hands, his eyes fell on Emperor Taizong who was still unconscious on the couch.He asked in a hoarse voice, "Physician Gu, tell me the truth, if there is no antidote, how long can father persist?"

The ancient imperial physician thought for a while, then lowered his head and said seriously, "After the diagnosis and discussion with the other imperial physicians, I am 7% sure that the emperor can last for [-] days."

seven days?In other words, Xu Zhu had to find Sun Simiao within seven days, but he gave Xu Zhu three days. The commander of the Second Imperial Guard should be able to find Sun Simiao, right?

And in these seven days, the one thing I can do is to find the antidote!

However, the antidote...

"Your Highness?" The ancient imperial physician hesitated for a moment, and said, "In terms of poisons, I and other imperial physicians have studied it. It was because the other party fed Gun Gun a poison called hundred-day drunk. Rixiang's words are nothing more than drugs that make people sleep for a hundred days."

"Is there seven-day incense on Zhu'er?" Cheng Qian asked after regaining his senses.

"Yes, Your Highness. Moreover, hundred-day drunkenness meets seven-day incense, which is an extremely potent poison that will make the poisoned person go crazy and bite people, and the person bitten will also be poisoned. Once poisoned, the poison will spread immediately. die."

Cheng Qian's eyes turned cold, did the other party want to put him to death? !

"So, can you prepare the antidote?" Cheng Qian asked tentatively.

The ancient imperial physician shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Highness, this is what the old minister wants to report to His Highness. The old minister knows that His Highness must be trying to find a way to obtain the antidote, but the other party is vicious and aggressive. It is clear that he does not want people to live. How can he prepare an antidote?"

Cheng Qian's heart sank, "So, there is no antidote?!"

"No!" The ancient imperial physician shook his head again and said, "everything in the world is born and restrained by each other, and poison is the same. The old minister knows that there is a god in the world. When he came to Chang'an a few years ago, he talked with me about the toxicity of hundred-day drunkenness. The old minister believed , he must have a way?"

"Who is he? Where is he now?" Cheng Qian was ecstatic.

"He is Daoist Sun Simiao!"

Cheng Qian was startled, then smiled wryly.

Seeing Cheng Qian wryly smiling, the ancient imperial physician couldn't help being taken aback, "Your Highness also knows this person?"

"I have already sent General Xu Zhu to look for Daoist Sun Simiao."
