Chapter 4 The Entry Point of Changing Destiny

Watching the 17-year-old third brother leave, Li Min couldn't help but sigh. Although he had just come into contact with him, he could feel the care and concern of an elder brother for his younger brother from Li Ke. In his previous life, he was the only son in the family.

He had never felt this kind of brotherhood of flesh and blood, but the brotherhood shown by Li Ke today deeply moved him, making Li Min identify with this brother of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. But when he thought of this Yingguo

The ending of his brother's unjust death at such a young age made Li Min feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Li Min then thought again. Since he has become Li Min, the king of Liang, the fate of the king of Liang in history has also changed. The fate of the people around him should also change accordingly. This is like that

Just like the famous butterfly effect, the little butterfly that traveled through time fluttered its wings, and the hurricane caused was enough to blow up the original history. As his elder brother, Li Ke, there was no reason why his fate should not change. As for the change,

For better or worse, you can't say for sure?

"Wen'er, go find Gao Zhong, I have something to ask him!" Li Min returned to the living room and ordered immediately. He sat down and took a sip of tea, but frowned and spat it out. It was like the tea that people in the Tang Dynasty drank.

It is tea cake. The so-called tea cake is to pick the tea leaves, steam them and mash them into mud, and then make them into tea cakes. When drinking, knock off a piece and put it in a teapot to cook. Salt is usually added, and sometimes even

Onions, ginger, dates, orange peels, etc. are also added, which makes Li Min, who is used to drinking clear soup tea from later generations, very uncomfortable.

"It seems that I have to make some tea leaves when I have time." Li Min said to himself.

Not long after, a middle-aged white and fat eunuch wearing a chamberlain uniform walked in with Wen'er. This eunuch was the Gao Chong that Li Min was looking for.

However, since Li Tian woke up from time travel, Li Tian, ​​as a descendant, felt very awkward when he saw a eunuch wandering around in front of him every day. After Wen'er and Hua'er came, Gao Zhong was promoted to the post by Li Min.

He appointed the internal general manager and put him in charge of all the internal affairs of Prince Liang's Mansion, leaving all the work of serving him to Wen'er and Hua'er.

"Slave...slave joins Your Highness!" Gao Zhong said in a eunuch's unique high-pitched voice, with a slight tremor in his voice and a crying sound, as if he was very excited.

"Gao Zhong, what's wrong with you? Does anyone dare to bully you?" Although Li Min didn't like eunuchs, this Gao Zhong was one of the first people he came into contact with after coming to Datang, so he couldn't help but be curious when he saw him like this.

asked.

"No~ no one bullies this slave. It's just that I have been following His Highness for more than ten years and have been almost inseparable. His Highness promoted my slave to the position of general manager a few days ago, but I can no longer follow His Highness as before. When I saw His Highness today, I couldn't help but feel so excited."

I hope Your Highness will forgive this old slave for being disrespectful." When Gao Zhong said this, he became excited again and simply crawled on the ground and burst into tears.

However, Li Min was so frightened by Gao Zhong's "true confession" that he had goosebumps all over his body. If the other party was a young girl, these words would be very comfortable to hear, but you, a fat eunuch who is half-aged, can't do the same.

It was a bit unacceptable for people to confess their love. However, they were also sincere, so Li Min could only hold his nose and admit it, and also had to say some words of comfort, and finally got Gao Zhong to stand up and reply.

"Gao Zhong, you should know more about things in the palace. Now tell me how the queen's illness is?" Li Min said with a serious face. Although Queen Changsun is not Li Min's biological mother, she is the queen, and Li Min

Min also wants to call her mother. Just now, Li Ke said that Queen Changsun's condition has worsened. This gave Li Min a flash of inspiration and thought of something. If he seizes this opportunity, maybe he can please the emperor's father, and maybe he won't have to.

Why would he be the governor of Yizhou after traveling so far away?

"Yes!" Gao Zhong did not expect that Li Min was asking about Empress Changsun. He thought for a moment before replying. "Reporting to Your Highness, Empress Changsun contracted an illness when she and His Majesty Taizong went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

The imperial doctors treated her in many ways, but her condition was good and bad. At the beginning of this year, the queen's condition suddenly worsened. I heard the chamberlain in the palace say... said..." When Gao Zhong said this, his tone became hesitant, and he raised his head and took a peek.

Looking at Li Min, he didn't seem to dare to say anything.

"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. This matter is very important!" Li Min said. Gao Chong and he had lived in the palace since they were young, and they had many old acquaintances in the palace when he was granted the title of King of Liang.

, was the most well-informed about the news in the palace, so Li Min found him to inquire about Queen Changsun.

"Yes! I heard that Empress Changsun is terminally ill and cannot be saved by human power. I am afraid that within a hundred days she will..." Gao Zhong stopped here and looked up at Li Min. Needless to say, Li Min also said the following words.

Can understand.

Next, Li Min asked Gao Zhong some detailed questions, especially who had treated Queen Changsun. When he heard that the legendary person was not there, he was relieved. But soon Li Min

He fell into deep thought again:

I didn't expect Queen Changsun's condition to be so serious. If I remember correctly, Queen Changsun will pass away in June this year. The death of Queen Changsun also represents the beginning of the fight for the throne among the princes. The most famous ones are Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li

Unfortunately, none of the three brothers ended well. Li Chengqian rebelled and was demoted. Li Tai fought with Li Chengqian and was demoted. Li You was the boldest and most unlucky brother. He killed his own eldest son, Quan Wanji, and then rebelled.

He was sentenced to death and became the only son killed by Taizong Li Shimin. The other princes were also in danger. Later, the unlucky Li Zhi became the prince. But after Li Zhi came to power, he became even more worried. First, his eldest grandson

Wuji came to power, which directly led to Li Ke's unjust death. Then Wu Zetian came to power. Now Li Min's brothers were even worse. They were demoted and killed. Except for the thirteenth brother Li Fu, almost none of them died a good death.

It can be said that it was precisely because of the early death of Empress Changsun that the princes competed for the throne. As a result, the ninth emperor Li Zhi came to power. The last generation of empress Wu Zetian usurped the throne, which also caused a catastrophe for the Li family. Most of the royal family died unexpectedly, and few of them were alive.

They are all very miserable. For example, Li Ke's daughter, the head of Xin'an County, did not marry until she was in her forties. Another example is that in history, Li Min was demoted to a commoner, and then died in depression. Many of his descendants also died during the Wu Zetian period. Others

The royal families are all the same, they are either demoted or killed, but there is no good ending anyway.

So from Li Min's point of view, curing Empress Changsun's illness will not only please his emperor father, but also affect his own destiny. Maybe Empress Changsun will live a few more years to avoid the subsequent princes competing for the throne.

Li Zhi would not be able to become emperor, and of course there would be no more Wu Zetian. As a member of the royal family, Li Min would no longer worry about the safety of himself and his children and grandchildren. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Li Min also knew that his idea was a bit naive. Even if Empress Changsun lived a few more years, there was no guarantee that things would not happen in the future. However, this was Li Min's attempt to change history. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.

There are still many opportunities, and there is always a way to change history.

Thinking of this, Li Min made up his mind. Since he had changed Li Min's fate through time travel, he might as well change the fate of the Tang Dynasty. At least he had to prevent Wu Zetian from coming to power. After all, he was also a member of the Li family.

No matter what, I cannot let myself and my children and grandchildren experience the catastrophe that happened to the Li family.

"Gao Zhong, go and help me with something right away!" After thinking about these things, Li Min immediately ordered Gao Zhong with a serious face, then waved him forward and whispered in his ear.

A few sentences.

"This matter is extremely important. You are the person I trust most, so you must not disappoint my expectations!" After giving the instructions, Li Min patted Gao Chong's shoulder intimately and said.

"Your Highness, this old slave will definitely get things done even if his body is shattered to pieces!" Gao Zhong was so excited by Li Min's slap that he knelt down and sobbed with tears in his eyes.

"Okay! Go ahead!"

"Old slave, please retire!" Gao Zhong left the living room with an expression of generous death, and walked forward with indomitable steps. Now Gao Zhong felt that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility entrusted by His Highness Prince Liang, and even mountains of swords and seas of fire could not stop him from moving forward.

path of.

Li Dao looked at this loyal fat eunuch speechlessly. Didn't he just ask him to go to Zhongnan Mountain to find someone to come back to? Is it necessary to be so tragic?

To cure Empress Changsun's illness, of course you need to find a good doctor. Although Li Min knows some medical knowledge, he is not a doctor after all, so he will definitely not be able to cure Empress Changsun's illness by himself. However, if Li Min is not good at it, it does not mean that others are not. If

If we rank all the famous doctors in history, there is one famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty who can be ranked among the top ten, and that is Sun Simiao, who is revered as the King of Medicine by later generations.

Sun Simiao was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and died in the first year of Tang Yongchun. He lived for more than a hundred years and devoted his life to medical research. He wrote "Qianjin Prescription", created a classification system for internal diseases and fu-organ diseases, and made great contributions to the development of Chinese medicine.

Great contribution. He is not only good at internal medicine, but also good at surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ENT, ophthalmology, and has done research on health preservation, diet therapy, acupuncture, prevention, alchemy, etc. He also has extensive pharmacological knowledge and exquisite

With his acupuncture skills, he can be said to be a great master of general medicine.

Sun Simiao was revered as the King of Medicine in later generations, but it was now the tenth year of Zhenguan. Li Min calculated the time and found that Old Man Sun was probably over sixty years old, and he should still be living in seclusion in the Zhongnan Mountains, more than 200 miles south of Chang'an.

He usually helps the surrounding residents see doctors. Because of his superb medical skills, he is very famous in the local area.

However, what made Sun Simiao truly famous was that after he turned 100 years old, the then Emperor Tang Gaozong, Li Min's younger brother Li Zhi, highly praised Sun Simiao. This made Sun Simiao's reputation grow bigger and bigger, and it was not limited to medicine.

In the world, Lu Zhaolin, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, was still his disciple, and his "Qianjin Prescription" which was passed down to later generations was only completed after he was more than a hundred years old.

Now Sun Simiao is actually somewhat famous. When Li Min's emperor father Li Shimin first came to the throne, he sent someone to grant Sun Simiao a title, but he refused. But don't think that Li Shimin thinks highly of Sun Simiao because of this incident. In fact, they

The two of them had never even met, and there was a reason for the knighthood.

Everyone knows that Li Shimin's throne came from a shady origin. The killing of brothers was a stain that could not be erased in Tang Taizong's life. When he first came to the throne, public opinion was very unfavorable to Li Shimin, so he had people elect local officials.

People with noble virtues were given titles of knighthood in an attempt to change the public's view of them. However, this method did not work very well. Many of those selected for the title of knighthood rejected Li Shimin's kindness, and Sun Simiao was one of them.

Therefore, Li Shimin may have an impression of Sun Simiao, but it will never be too deep. Otherwise, Empress Changsun has been ill for almost two years, but she has not invited Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor, to diagnose and treat her. This is enough to explain the problem. As for the rumors about Sun Simiao spread by later generations.

The story of Empress Changsun being cured by Xuansi's pulse diagnosis was completely fabricated by later generations and cannot be trusted at all.

As soon as Li Min heard about Queen Changsun's condition, he immediately thought of Sun Simiao. This king of medicine was best at internal medicine, and the qi disease that Queen Changsun suffered from fell into the category of internal medicine. Therefore, Li Min believed that even if Sun Simiao could not eradicate this disease,

At least it can make Empress Changsun live a few more years. Of course, it would be best if she could be cured. Anyway, this contribution must be attributed to him. Considering the emperor’s deep love for Empress Changsun, are you still afraid that he will not reward him generously? When the time comes,

If Concubine Yang and her third brother Li Ke say a few more good words, they can change their impression in the eyes of the emperor's father, and then try their best to please themselves. Even if they are out-of-town officials, they won't do it again.

Have you gone to Yizhou, which is so far away?

Li Min couldn't help laughing when he thought about his proud place, especially when he thought that this was the first time he used the knowledge of later generations to influence the direction of history. This made Li Min even more proud and couldn't stop laughing. Standing next to him

Wen'er and Hua'er were nervous, and they were both thinking at the same time: Could it be that His Highness Prince Liang's old illness has relapsed?
