"Yuanji, what happened at Wei Zeguan is related to the Tang Dynasty and the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you just sit idly by and ignore it, and how can it have nothing to do with you."
Li Shimin spoke in an official tone with a serious look on his face.
It's a pity that Li Yuanji knew that Li Shimin would not lead troops on an expedition, and he also knew what Li Shimin's concerns were, and Li Shimin's concerns were exactly his concerns.
Li Shimin can't let go of his selfishness, why should he be asked to let go of his selfishness?
So he didn't follow Li Shimin's tricks.
He leaned back carelessly and said in a neutral tone: "Second brother, I'm an adult now, so don't fool me with these high-sounding words.
I said I wouldn't care about it, so I just don't care about it.
It’s useless no matter how much you say.”
Li Shimin subconsciously stared.
Li Yuanji continued: "I just got the news and came over to tell you, lest there is any trouble in the future at Weize Pass and you blame me for not reminding you."
Li Shimin shouted: "Once this matter gets serious, the third sister will also have to take responsibility. You don't care about the life and death of the Tang Dynasty, and you don't care about the life and death of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Don't you also care about the life and death of the third sister?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "Second brother, are you telling me a joke? I'm not dead yet. Who dares to touch my third sister?"
Li Shimin sneered: "Didn't father ground the third sister?"
The smile on Li Yuanji's face faded and he said coldly: "Don't you have any idea why the third sister was banned? Didn't she say something that she shouldn't have said in front of her father in order to help you seek justice?
Severe punishment.
It's okay if you don't think about how to save her, but you still want to use her to force me to lead the army into battle.
You are really a good brother to my third sister."
Having said this, Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Shimin anymore, so he stood up and walked out.
Li Shimin stood up and asked: "Where are you going?"
Li Yuanji said without looking back: "Go to see your father and tell him about the situation at Weizeguan and let him make a decision."
Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Father will also let you lead the troops to Weize Pass."
Li Yuanji sneered: "If I don't want to, no one can force me."
Li Shimin didn't speak any more, and stood there with a frown and a sullen face.
Li Yuanji had already walked to the door at this time. He suddenly thought of something. He paused, turned back and said to Li Shimin: "Give me the "Xuanji Book" in your hand and the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" that you treasured.
, let me tell you a secret that is very important to you."
Li Shimin's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said in a deep tone: "What secret?"
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I can't get anything, why should I tell you?"
Li Shimin stared at Li Yuanji closely and said, "Are you sure the secret you told me will be useful to me?"
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation, "It's useful, and it's very useful."
Li Shimin's eyes fell into silence.
Seems to be weighing the pros and cons.
After a long time, Li Shimin's eyes regained their luster and he said: "I can't give you the Preface to the Lanting Collection, but I can give you the Quick Snow and Clear Tie."
Li Yuanji felt a little regretful, but still agreed.
Although "Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tie" is not as famous as "Preface to the Lanting Anthology", it is still one of Wang Xizhi's masterpieces, and its preciousness is second only to "The Preface to the Lanting Anthology".
It is more precious than the "Seventeen Posts" awarded to Ling Jing by Li Shimin.
"Okay! Give me the stuff and I'll tell you the secret!"
"..."
Li Shimin stared at Li Yuanji in silence for a long time, and then he reluctantly sent someone to fetch the "Quick Snow Shi Qing Tie" and handed it to Li Yuanji together with the "Xuanji Book".
After Li Yuanji confirmed the authenticity of "Quick Snow Shi Qing Tie", he happily told Li Shimin, "You should find the imperial doctor at the imperial hospital as soon as possible to check on Xue Shou. He should be seriously ill, but he has not yet attacked.
Once an attack occurs, you may die."
When Li Shimin heard this, his first reaction was that Li Yuanji was lying, so he shouted without hesitation: "Are you teasing me?"
Li Yuanji decisively picked up Sun Simiao's tiger skin and said with a smile: "This is what Mr. Sun told me after he noticed it. If you don't believe me, you can't believe Mr. Sun either.
If Xue Shou is seriously ill, you can let the doctor from the Imperial Hospital take a look and you will know.
But I heard from Mr. Sun that Xue Shou’s condition is already very serious, and if he is not diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, he may not die soon.”
Li Shimin said doubtfully: "It's okay if you lied to me, but you still want to scare me."
Li Yuanji just smiled and said nothing more.
I took "Xuanji Book" and "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" and left in a hurry.
After Li Yuanji left, Li Shimin's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
Fang Xuanling and Xue Shou walked in at this time.
Li Shimin saw Xue Shou and said to Fang Xuanling without hesitation: "Go and ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to come and sit with you."
Fang Xuanling didn't understand what Li Shimin wanted to do, but still followed Li Shimin's instructions and went to ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital.
Not long after, the imperial doctor arrived.
Without any hesitation, Li Shimin asked the imperial physician to take a look at Xue Shou.
Xue Shou was confused, but Li Shimin rarely cared about his health, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only let the imperial doctor control him.
Under the careful examination of the imperial physician, Xue Shou's problem was quickly discovered.
The imperial doctor stroked his beard and asked Xue Shou with a deep look, "Does Xue Jishi like to eat wild vegetables?"
Xue Shou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Nothing is wrong without being happy."
The imperial doctor stroked his beard, nodded, and said no more.
Li Shimin knew from the look on the imperial doctor's face that Li Yuanji was probably right, Xue Shou was really ill, and it was most likely caused by eating crab meat.
Eating chicken is nothing new in the Tang Dynasty, nor is it something difficult to accept. Instead, it is a very common thing.
Among the wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty, eight out of ten households had the habit of eating vegetables.
Eating crab meat was also a very popular eating habit in the Tang Dynasty.
There are countless people who have gotten sick because of eating crabs, and it is not uncommon for people to die because of eating crabs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But even so, it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for eating.
Some literati even regarded eating wild crabs as an elegant thing. They would eat it if they had nothing to do, and they would even write poems about it.
Therefore, Xue Suo, a scholar, liked to eat wild vegetables and even got sick from eating it. This was considered acceptable by Li Shimin.
Moreover, most of the diseases caused by eating Xue Shou can be cured, so Li Shimin began to suspect that Li Yuanji had deliberately exaggerated Xue Shou's condition and took the opportunity to blackmail himself.
However, Li Shimin did not say anything and waited quietly for the imperial doctor's words.
After the imperial doctor was silent for a long time while stroking his beard, he finally spoke, "Xue Ji's pulse is unstable, his face is pale and sallow, and he probably suffers from dizziness and fatigue on a daily basis."
When the imperial doctor said this, he did not continue, but looked at Xue Shou.
Xue Shou hesitated for a moment, then nodded, confirming that he did suffer from the dizziness and fatigue that the imperial doctor said.
It's just that he usually regards these as being too tired and doesn't take it to heart.
Now after hearing what the imperial doctor said, he understood clearly that this was probably an illness.
Seeing Xue Shou nodding, the imperial doctor continued: "Xue Ji's office will have abdominal pain, blood in the stool and many other problems in the future."
When they heard that there would be blood in their stools, both Li Shimin and Xue Shou's expressions changed.
Even Fang Xuanling, who had been silent on the sidelines, couldn't hold it any longer and asked hurriedly: "What kind of disease is it?"
Li Shimin didn't wait for the imperial doctor to speak, and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, it should be red dysentery."
Similar symptoms are caused by eating crabs. Li Shimin had read in a book that it was a disease called red dysentery.
However, this disease is not a terminal illness, it can be cured, and it can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, there was an apricot forest master who cured this disease with Pulsatilla.
If we take the right medicine, we can certainly cure Xue Shou.
The only thing that needs to be noted is that this disease is more troublesome to treat.
Fang Xuanling must have read about this disease in the book, so after hearing Li Shimin mention the name of this disease, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned.
Although Xue Shou had not seen this disease in the book, after seeing Li Shimin's expression, he roughly understood that this disease is more difficult to treat.
When the imperial doctor heard Li Shimin's words, he nodded first and then shook his head, "There is indeed red dysentery in Xue Ji's office, but if it is just red dysentery, I won't be hesitant."
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Xue Shou's expressions all changed.
Li Shimin blurted out, "Are there any other symptoms?"
The imperial doctor nodded and said, "There are still insect masses."
Before Li Shimin could ask again, the imperial doctor said to himself: "If it is just a symptom of insect mass or dysentery, it can be easily cured and there is no risk to life.
But if there are both, it will be troublesome.
Not only is it difficult to cure, but it is also life-threatening."
When Li Shimin heard the imperial doctor's words, he finally understood why Li Yuanji had blackmailed him for two treasures in a row, and why he confidently asked him to go to the imperial doctor to investigate.
Xue Shou is indeed ill, and it is still fatal.
"Is there any cure?"
Li Shimin stared at the imperial doctor and asked.
The imperial doctor sighed: "There is a cure, but it takes time and requires a certain amount of dietary supplements."
Li Shimin asked again, "How long will it take?"
The imperial doctor tugged at his beard and said, "It could be three to five months, or it could be long. I can't say for sure."
Li Shimin's face darkened and he said, "Is there any way to cure it as soon as possible?"
The imperial doctor hesitated and said: "I heard that Mr. Sun mentioned insect gallbladder in his book "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", and I thought that Mr. Sun should have some experience in treating wormhole gallbladder."
If Your Highness wants to cure Xue Ji's office as soon as possible, you can go find Mr. Sun."
When Li Shimin heard this, his brows furrowed for a moment.
Doesn't this allow him to be blackmailed by Li Yuanji again?
Sun Simiao is now the medical officer in Li Yuanji's house, and he lives deep in Jiulongtan Mountain and seldom comes out.
If you want to find Sun Simiao, you can only visit Jiulongtan Mountain first and then be introduced by Li Yuanji.
If Xue Shou's condition is not fatal, he can wait until Chang'an Xinglu is officially opened and fully opened to the public before going for diagnosis and treatment. In that case, there is no need to go to Li Yuanji.
But Xue Shou's condition is fatal, so we can't wait.
