Li Ke couldn't help but glare at Cheng Chubi and muttered softly.
"Originally, I didn't want to show off, but who would have thought that Brother Chu Bi would have to be called Shandong Song Yu..."
When Cheng Chubi was exposed by Li Ke, he felt extremely evil and said with anger and white face.
"Who told you not to use idle talk? If you do, then I can change it to a more low-key pen name."
"Brother, my appearance and appearance are not bad, why should I be called Langli Baitiao?"
Li Shimin looked at the two guys who were arguing in front of him at the beginning, and patted the table with a black look on his face, and then shocked the two guys.
"Okay, now that you've used it, keep using it. You will publish three issues of this newspaper every month."
"I see Chang'an Pan An at least once a month, and Shandong Song Yu's name appears in the "Chang'an Xun Bao"."
"???" Cheng Chubi and Li Ke stared blankly at this elder who had a very serious expression but always felt that he had malicious intentions.
"Anyway, it's been decided. If I don't see your two pen names appearing in the "Chang'an Xun Bao" for a month, well, then one month's salary will be deducted."
"What?!" Cheng Chubi jumped up and said with a pale face. "Uncle, how could you do this?"
"You guys have the nerve to use such an outrageous pen name, so I asked you to let your memory go. What's wrong, you're not convinced?!"
Li Shimin shouted with his eyes widened.
When Cheng Chubi saw His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his body trembled, and he stared at him fiercely, as if he would drag someone over and drag him to enjoy a massage with a cane if he disagreed.
Cheng Chubi touched his nose and sat back down again with a disgraceful look. "What does it matter if I do it once a month? I can do it anyway."
Seeing that Brother Chu Bi was intimidated, Li Ke just lay down with the wind faster. "Father, don't worry, my child, my child will definitely work hard..."
"Well, that's right. I just want you to remember that next time you cause trouble, consider the consequences first. If you fall into my hands, it will not end well for you."
Li Shimin looked at these two juniors who looked like eggplants beaten by frost with a comfortable expression on his face, and his thoughts were very clear.
"The reason I called you here today is not for these trivial matters, but because I want you to go to the Duke Zhao's Mansion."
"Chang Sun's official department has constipation again?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help being surprised.
A few days ago, Changsun Wuji sent someone over to get Kaiselu. If he was going to have severe constipation, he shouldn't have it so quickly.
"...Can't you just hope that he'll be better?" Li Shimin's mouth almost tilted to the base of his ears, and it took him a long time to force a serious expression.
He briefly described the condition of his mother-in-law, the Queen's mother, Gao.
"The old woman's food is very sweet, and she hates bitterness the most. Therefore, she doesn't take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor at all. But if she doesn't take the medicine, how can she cure the disease..."
Having said this, Li Shimin rubbed his temples with a headache, looked at Cheng Chubi and said.
"The old man is quite weak now. What can you do, my dear nephew?"
After hearing this, Cheng Chubi thought about it carefully. After all, it is normal for elderly and frail people to have poor income, and it is not impossible to improve it.
As for the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, it is really bitter, and this is true, but this issue can be decided with Chinese patent medicines.
"Uncle, it's hard to say for the time being. We have to go to her old man for a detailed examination before we can judge."
"As for not being willing to drink the medicine, I think it's because the medicine is too bitter, but I can think of a way."
After hearing this, Li Shimin felt relieved. After all, Cheng Sanlang had proven his strength with countless successes.
"Oh? In that case, that's great. I'll thank you on behalf of your aunt first."
Cheng Chubi quickly waved his hand and laughed dryly.
"That's not necessary. It's just that my nephew hopes that the pen name of my nephew and His Highness King Wu..."
Seeing the flirtatious looks on these two little kids, Li Shimin didn't bother to tease them any more.
"You can rest assured about this. You are Song Yu from Shandong and he is Pan An from Chang'an. I will not let anyone else know about it."
"However, I think your two pen names are quite good. I hope to see more of your articles in the "Chang'an Xunbao" in the future, hahaha..."
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, let out a very unnatural laugh. Cheng Chubi and Li Ke could only laugh awkwardly for a long time before leaving in a hurry.
When they arrived at the gate of Ganlu Hall, they bumped into Empress Changsun who came to see His Majesty. Cheng Chubi and Li Ke had to stop to pay their respects.
Looking at these two guys, Empress Changsun pursed her lips hard. It took her a long time to control her emotions and smiled gently at the two of them.
"Xiannie Chu Bi, my mother's illness has been hard on you."
"Whatever my aunt said, these are my nephew's duties. How dare I not do my best?"
"Well, that's good, go get busy..." Empress Changsun smiled with satisfaction, and then watched them leave in a hurry.

After leaving the palace, Li Ke felt that his face was not so hot. He turned his head and saw that Brother Chu Bi had already looked as usual.
I have to admire Brother Chu Bi, he is indeed a member of the Cheng family, his thickness of skin is really impressive.
The two of them went to Cheng's Mansion together to get the medicine box, and rushed to Duke Zhao's Mansion, under the guidance of the steward of Duke Zhao's Mansion who had a strong smile on his face.
I met Chang Sun Chong, whom I had met several times and even cut in front of him in the queue.
Changsun Chong couldn't help but feel tired when he saw the evil pair Cheng Chubi and Li Ke appearing in his house again.
But you must always pay attention to the expression management on your face, at least not showing any expression of disgust or dislike for the other person.
"It's such a common process. I've met His Highness. I'd like to thank you two. Would you like to have some tea first before going over..."
"That's no need. Just take us to visit your grandmother." Cheng Chubi didn't come here just to eat and drink.
Besides, I don’t have much friendship with Changsun Wuji and his son. We all dislike each other, so there is no need to be hypocritically polite. It’s too tiring.
Seeing Cheng Chubi like this, Changsun Chong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and strode forward to lead the way.
We came to a secluded courtyard. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, and the scenery was very nice.
"My grandmother lives here, please wait a moment..."
Changsun Chong arrived at the elegant house, signaled to Cheng Chubi and Li Ke, and then stepped inside.
Changsun Chong saw his grandmother, Mrs. Gao, sitting on the couch and taking a nap. The middle-aged servant woman standing next to her saw Changsun Chong, lowered her head and whispered to Mrs. Gao.
Mrs. Gao then opened her eyes, and after seeing Changsun Chong, she showed a gentle smile. "Why are you here?"
"My grandson has met my grandmother. Today my grandson went to invite the famous doctor who cured my aunt. I want him to take a look at my grandmother..."
"Sigh... It's not like I'm sick. I just can't eat. I'm worried about you and my son..."
"That's what you say, but grandma, you are getting thinner and thinner. How can your grandson and my father not be worried?" Changsun Chong said with a bitter smile.
"Okay, grandma, listen to you and let the famous doctor come in..." Mrs. Gao nodded helplessly, but then rushed towards her eldest grandson with some worry.
"But we have to make a promise first. I'm not sick, so I won't drink those decoctions."
"Okay grandma, don't worry." Seeing the worried look on the old man's face, Changsun Chong could only nod helplessly.
After a short while, Changsun Chong came outside the house. After saluting Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi and King Wu Li Ke walked into the room together.
This thin old woman, who was about sixty years old, glanced at Cheng Chubi and Li Ke, and looked at her grandson Zhang Sun Chong with some surprise.
Changsun Chong raised his hand and introduced the tall and heroic Cheng Sanlang to his grandmother Gao.
"Grandma, this is the famous doctor who cured my aunt, Cheng Chubi, the third son of General Cheng's family."
"So you are Cheng Sanlang. I didn't expect you to be so old and blind."
Gao couldn't help but look at Cheng Chubi in surprise, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Although he looks better than Cheng Yao, with golden eyebrows and clearer eyes, this kid looks like a martial artist when he looks at his body and posture. Is he really good at curing diseases?
I would like to recommend a book with a very positive name called "Strengthening a Country Begins by Building a New Countryside". Well... the name is very positive, right?
