Chapter 1589 I am also worried that the prince may have done it himself (please subscribe)
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and knitted his brows tightly together. At this time, Li Chengqian had already left.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the palace seemed a little depressing. Zhao Kun stood aside and felt a little uneasy when he saw the cold light flashing in His Majesty's eyes.
At this time, Empress Changsun arrived gracefully. The moment she saw Empress Changsun, warmth finally appeared on Li Shimin's cold face and he stood up.
"Husband, what are you..."
"There was a fire in the East Palace just now, and the Pharmacopoeia of the Tang Dynasty was seriously damaged. Fortunately, Cheng Qian listened to that boy Cheng Sanlang's advice and made preparations early."
"Otherwise, the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" will not be completed until I don't know what year or month it will be."
Having said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted again. "I know that some ministers in the court don't like Cheng Qian very much."
"It's not because of Cheng Qian's own problems, but because of the selfishness of those ministers..."
"After this incident, I'm afraid many people will take the opportunity to cause trouble again."
Empress Changsun raised her eyes and looked at Li Shimin and asked, "What do you think our husband should do?"
Li Shimin patted the back of Queen Changsun's hand and spoke confidently.
"Zhao Kun, ask the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to investigate, and do it with great fanfare. I think the news will spread throughout Chang'an City soon."
"I obey the order." Zhao Kun was a little confused, but he still respectfully accepted the order and left quickly.
"Husband, what are you..."
"My husband just wants to alert those people who have ulterior motives and ask them to restrain themselves. Alas..."
Having said this, Li Shimin let out a long breath. "Now that the dykes in Huazhou have burst, the disaster has been severe. We still need the civil and military officials to share the joys and sorrows."
"When things happen in Huazhou, I'm afraid I'll have to patrol east to Luoyang again. At this time, I don't want to cause trouble again."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun sighed softly and echoed.
"There are many disasters in Guanzhong, and the people of Li are suffering. If there is chaos in the middle of the country..."
Li Shimin gently hugged his wife's shoulders, smelled the fragrance of his wife's hair, and relaxed himself.
These are all obvious reasons, but in fact he is also worried that his other beloved son Li Tai will be involved in it.
After all, Li Tai had done similar things before, which made him very disappointed with this child.
Even though Li Tai had kept a low profile over the past few years, once the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" was seriously damaged, it would not be able to be compiled and published in time.
On the other hand, Li Tai's compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi" was completed. Comparing this before and after, hehe...
Maybe those people who secretly support Li Tai will stand up and cheer for him.
#####
As expected, it was not beyond Li Shimin's expectation. In the East Palace, which was like a fence, all kinds of news leaked out very quickly.
However, there was a fire in the Chongren Hall of the East Palace, and it was said that the manuscript of the Pharmacopoeia of the Tang Dynasty was damaged. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to go and conduct a strict investigation. The news soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
Li Tai, His Highness the King of Wei, who is much fatter than he was a few years ago, has a very complicated expression at this moment.
There were both secret joy and a bit of fear. The reason for the joy was naturally because the Prince's "Datang Pharmacopoeia" was damaged and the progress would definitely drop.
Moreover, the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" was damaged and the efforts of many doctors were wasted. Presumably, there will definitely be many powerful officials who will jump out and let the prince have a taste of its power.
These are all great benefits to him.
However, the reason why he was panicked was that he was worried that he would be mistakenly thought to be the instigator of King Wei, who had been coveting the throne for many years.
It would be fine if he really instigated others to do it, but the problem is that he didn't know anything about it.
If someone accuses someone of making a comment or something, wouldn’t that be a great injustice to one’s innocence?
"Mr. Jiang, this matter really has nothing to do with you?" Li Tai looked at Jiang Yaqing, who was sitting in front of him and sitting respectfully at the bottom.
After Jiang Yaqing saluted Li Tai, her face looked very open and honest.
"Your Highness clearly knows that this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Who could that be?" Li Tai stood up with difficulty and moved slowly around the room.
His brows were knitted together, and a rare line appeared on his face that was as smooth as a steamed bun.
"In my opinion, the greatest possibility is that he is someone who is willing to be on good terms with His Highness."
"However, I am also worried that His Highness may have done it himself."
After hearing what Jiang Yaqing said, Li Tai raised his hand and waved it, and said very firmly.
"The prince is not that kind of person, he can't do it."
"Mr. Jiang, could you please go and investigate secretly and find out who did it?"
"I understand, I will try my best to investigate." Jiang Yaqing nodded his head heavily and replied.
After chatting with Li Tai for a while, Jiang Yaqing said goodbye respectfully, left the room where Li Tai was, and walked slowly outside with Eunuch Li.
When Eunuch Li saw no one around, he complained softly.
"Mr. Jiang, are you being too hasty by doing this?"
Jiang Yaqing was no longer as cautious as she had been when facing Li Tai. After hearing Eunuch Li's words, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Eunuch Li, we have discussed this matter repeatedly. We will not take action at this time.
Is it possible that we can wait until the Crown Prince puts the compiled "Datang Pharmacopoeia" on His Majesty's desk before we take action?
Eunuch Li, if you want to achieve great things, you must be decisive and decisive, and you must avoid chaos...not to mention that the beginning and end have been solved."
"This matter will definitely not involve His Highness."
#####
Eunuch Li looked at Jiang Yaqing in front of him, who had been acting more and more clandestinely and even more sinisterly in the past two years, and was speechless for a long time.
However, nowadays Jiang Yaqing is getting more and more attention from His Highness, and even I am not willing to offend him.
"Okay, Eunuch Li, please Eunuch Li, please explain to His Highness so that His Highness doesn't have to focus on these things."
"The most important thing His Highness should do now is to complete the "Kuo Di Zhi" as soon as possible and present it with great fanfare."
"Our family understands, but what should we do next?"
"The next step is of course very simple. Jiang will go to meet some people. By the way, I also ask Eunuch Li to try to spread this rumor."
"That is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was lax in his duties and Yu Zhining was slack, which resulted in many errors in the compilation of the "Datang Medical Code". In order to avoid leaks..."
Eunuch Li stared blankly at Jiang Yaqing, who was whispering to him in front of him, feeling chilled in his heart.
This Mr. Jiang is really good at carrying out such insidious schemes.
"...Remember, send him a few more versions. In this way, the people of Chang'an will feel that one of these rumors may be true..."
Having said this, the corners of Jiang Yaqing's lips raised happily. Since he was the mastermind of His Highness the King of Wei, he naturally had to look like a mastermind.
The way he smiled made Eunuch Li feel frightened...
