Nowadays, Li Shimin has basically left all major affairs in the DPRK to Li Chengqian.
And he himself was naturally at ease.
Li Shimin, who had nothing to do today, originally wanted to have a sweet time with Empress Changsun.
Who would have thought that today in Kunning Palace, just as the wine and dishes were being served, I heard Eunuch Zhou reporting the news of Li Chengqian's assassination.
When they heard this news, how could the two of them care about anything else?
The couple rushed all the way to the East Palace to check on Li Chengqian's condition.
When the two came over, there were only two military doctors working in the room.
Li Chengqian was lying on the bed unconscious, and if you look at his bare chest, you can see that there is a huge sore there that is bleeding.
Seeing such a scene, Empress Changsun couldn't help but cover her mouth, and tears suddenly filled her eyes.
And Li Shimin was naturally not much better.
Seeing such a scene, Li Shimin felt a wave of ignorant karma rising from the soles of his feet all the way up to the Tianling Cap.
This is his own son, his favorite son.
Moreover, he is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
But at this moment, he was actually hurt like this, and he didn't even know it.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's teeth itched with hatred.
But he also knew that now was not the time to be angry.
So, he suppressed his anger and asked the military doctor: "How is he doing?"
"very bad."
One of the military doctors shook his head and said: "There is something wrong with the arrow that hit the prince."
"Not only is the wound caused huge, but it is also extremely difficult to heal."
"It seems that the suturing technique developed by His Royal Highness himself must be used, otherwise stopping the bleeding will be a problem..."
What he said was true. The arrow that hit Li Chengqian was triangular.
This kind of wound is not only difficult to heal, but also has a high chance of causing tetanus, which can lead to death.
"Since suturing can be used."
"Then what are you waiting for? What?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you waiting for him to bleed to death?"
"this……"
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
The military doctor said with a bitter look on his face: "It's not that I don't want to use it, it's just that all the items are in the army, and I don't have any needles and threads for suturing wounds."
This is the palace, and finding needles and threads that can suture wounds is really not an easy task.
As for using ordinary needles and threads to sew, it is actually not impossible.
It's just that Li Chengqian's status is special. Without Li Shimin's order, he really wouldn't have the courage.
And Li Shimin can naturally see this.
He immediately said: "Before, Qian'er used ordinary battle lines to sew up the wounds of the soldiers. There must be that thing in the palace. All you need to do is disinfect it with wine."
Afterwards, Li Shimin ordered the people around him: "Go quickly and get some drinks and needlework."
The people next to him didn't dare to hesitate and ran out in big strides.
Not long after, he ran back carrying a basket and a wine jar.
Seeing this, Li Shimin said directly to the military doctor: "I have prepared everything for you, just feel free to do it."
With these words, the military doctor felt relieved.
He cupped his hands directly towards Li Shimin and said: "I will obey my orders, little man."
After saying that, he began to disinfect the thread with wine and put the silver needle on the candle flame to bake it red.
After everything was prepared, the military doctor began to suture the wound on Li Chengqian's chest.
And Li Shimin really couldn't bear to watch anymore.
He walked out of the room and walked straight into the courtyard.
At this moment, a group of people who escorted Li Chengqian back are standing here.
Li Shimin looked straight at a group of guys wearing armor and asked with a cold face:
"Who can tell me why my prince became like this?"
Hearing this, Yuchi Baolin fell to her knees with a thud.
"I met the prince on the way and wanted to escort the prince back to the palace."
"But he met an assassin halfway. The prince asked his ministers to call for reinforcements, and then he took on the assassin himself."
"When the minister returned, the prince also executed the two assassins, and both of them were later killed by Jin Wuwei."
"only……"
Speaking of this, Yuchi Baolin couldn't speak anymore.
But Li Shimin's face was even colder: "It's just something, tell me quickly."
"It's just that no one expected that there would be assassins lurking in the dark."
"We were unprepared and shot an arrow at the prince with a crossbow."
"The prince was unable to escape and was pierced through the chest by an arrow..."
He put his head against the ground and almost cried: "I didn't protect you well, please punish me."
"What's the use of punishing you?"
"Can punishing you make him wake up?"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "I will leave this matter to you to investigate. If you can't get to the bottom of it, then you and your father will wait to dig potatoes in the Northern Desert!"
This time Li Shimin was really angry.
You know, he has never done anything implicated before, and anyone who makes mistakes will be punished.
But this time, he has left his words here. If Yuchi Baolin can't get to the bottom of it, even his father will have to sit with him.
How could Yuchi Paulin dare to say anything else?
He kowtowed directly to Li Shimin and said: "My lord, I obey."
After saying this, Yuchi Baolin waved her hand and said: "All officers and men, follow the order and follow me to search the whole city to arrest the assassin."
And after Yuchi Baolin left.
Li Shimin asked Duke Zhou beside him: "Didn't I tell you that I would send more guards to Qian'er in the near future?" For the assassination of Li Chengqian, Eunuch Zhou was also fully responsible.
After all, he was the chief eunuch around Li Shimin on the surface, but in fact he was also the leader of the secret guards controlled by Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin naturally knew what was happening in the world recently.
He had long ago told Eunuch Zhou to send more guards to Li Chengqian to protect his safety.
But now, why does something happen to him?
Li Shimin also had no doubt whether Eunuch Zhou had violated his orders overtly or covertly.
Eunuch Zhou was also shocked by Li Shimin's questioning.
He knelt down and said, "I dare not disobey His Majesty's order."
"Now the guards around His Highness have gone from ten masters secretly following you to twenty masters now."
"It's just that these assassins today are really extraordinary."
"Of the twenty masters, only three came back in the end..."
Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The masters he has trained are comparable to the top masters in the world.
But today, seventeen people died in the battle to protect Li Chengqian, and the last three who came back were also scarred.
He really couldn't imagine who wanted Li Chengqian's life.
When Li Shimin heard this, his face was also full of surprise.
Having worked with Eunuch Zhou for many years, he certainly knew what Eunuch Zhou was capable of.
Li Shimin said directly: "Who did this?"
"this……"
"Because the other party's actions are too secretive, I have no way of knowing."
He looked up at Li Shimin and said, "But I believe that this assassination of His Royal Highness is far from as simple as Jianghu."
Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked: "What do you mean..."
Eunuch Zhou looked directly at Li Shimin and said: "I'm afraid some people will become restless again..."
