Li Shimin was still very curious about these sweet potatoes and pumpkins. They sounded mysterious, and he had heard that they tasted great. The problem was that if you had never eaten them, you wouldn't know anything about them.
You can only know everything after eating it.
Li Shimin felt happy and the pressure was gone. He stood up quickly and said: "Xuanling, Keming, let's go to Wang's house and ask for some sweet potatoes and pumpkins. It would be a pity not to eat such delicious food."
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both responded.
In fact, both of them didn't eat enough.
After all, there was only a little bit of pumpkin soup and sweet potato, and there were too many people. It was pretty good to have a sip of soup and a little bit of pumpkin, so the two of them were full of expectations.
After the group left the palace, they went straight to Yongxingfang.
When they arrived at Wang's house, the concierge went to notify him, while Li Shimin went straight to the lobby. After Li Shimin waited in the lobby for a short while, Wang Can came.
When Wang Can saw Li Shimin, he said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin said: "I heard that you have sweet potatoes and pumpkins here, which are excellent delicacies. I am here now just to ask for some pumpkins and sweet potatoes."
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, there are enough sweet potatoes and pumpkins here, that's enough!"
"Someone is coming!"
Wang Can gave an order.
Immediately, an attendant entered, and Wang Can ordered: "Tell Madam that Your Majesty is here, and ask him to pick a pumpkin and cook it, and dig out some sweet potatoes and cook them for Your Majesty to have a taste."
"yes!"
The attendant received the order and went to inform him immediately.
Li Shimin changed the topic and said: "Wang Can, I have another thing to do when I leave the palace. This time, I can make the family members hand over food so that the people will not be forced by famine. All of this is yours.
I am grateful for your contribution. If you have any requests, just ask them. As long as they are within my ability, I will satisfy you one by one. Even if you want to be promoted to an official position or become an official in the court, it will not be difficult.
, I promise you everything.”
Wang Can smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is not necessary. I have no interest in officialdom for the time being, and I don't want to become an official now. As for this action, it is actually not a big deal. The people of the world are in trouble, and I
If you have the ability to help, you should do it yourself. This is a very simple matter, so there is no need to thank you."
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt regretful in his heart.
It is a pity that Wang Can still does not serve as an official.
A person like Wang Can is a great talent. If Wang Can becomes an official in the court, Li Shimin will be able to help Li Shimin govern the Tang Dynasty, but now it is impossible.
Li Shimin said: "No matter what, it's all thanks to you this time."
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty is a very promising king, so there is no need to thank me. Even without me, although there are difficulties at the moment, as time goes by, the suffering days of the people will be gone forever."
Li Shimin felt a little happy when he heard this.
Wang Can praised him.
Li Shimin continued: "Wang Can, speaking of these people from the five surnamed Qiwang families, they have all gone back. You limit them to reply to you within one month. After all, it is one million stones of grain. Do you think this is possible?
There are variables.”
"impossible!"
Wang Can shook his head firmly.
Wang Can continued: "This matter is actually easy to judge. It is impossible for aristocratic families to block the influence of sweet potatoes and pumpkins. In order to get a piece of the pie, they can only give in. Of course, after they go back to discuss, I can
I am sure that they will spend one million stones of food, provided they get pumpkin seeds and sweet potato cultivation methods."
Li Shimin said: "If that's the case, I'll be relieved."
Wang Can continued: "After all, the emergence of pumpkins and sweet potatoes is unstoppable and impossible to stop. Under such circumstances, instead of blocking them, they might as well actively intervene and turn passivity into initiative. This is their method
.”
Li Shimin nodded.
He agreed with Wang Can's analysis, which indeed made sense.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a rapid shout came.
But it was Li Shimin's personal guard who ran in hurriedly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The Queen is unwell and suddenly fell ill."
"Guanyin Maid!"
Li Shimin murmured and stood up quickly.
He walked back directly.
As Li Shimin walked, he said: "Wang Can, I have something urgent, so I will go ahead. As for the sweet potatoes and pumpkins, I will come back when I have free time."
After Li Shimin left, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui followed him.
Both men knew what was at stake.
Because the queen was extremely virtuous and could assist the emperor, once anything happened to the queen, the entire Tang Dynasty would be in turmoil. So the group left in a hurry.
Wang Can watched Li Shimin leave in a hurry and smiled in his heart.
In the later period of his rule, Li Shimin was actually a lot of fools. But in the early period of his rule, especially when Changsun Wugou was still alive, he was really good, with great talents and strategies, and he was an extremely wise monarch.
Even in the later stage, although there are problems of one kind or another, the flaws cannot be concealed.
After Wang Can thought about it for a while, he considered that in his heaven system, in the medicine column, there are various medicines that can treat various diseases, so even if the eldest grandson Wuguo gets sick, Wang Can must cure it.
It's not difficult. Especially the products produced by the system must be high-quality. The medicines redeemed in his system are even more effective.
After Wang Can thought about it for a while, he made a decision in his heart and decided to save his eldest grandson Wugou.
It would be a pity for such a virtuous queen to die.
Wang Can arranged for someone to notify Yuan Tiangang. Not long after, Yuan Tiangang entered and said with a smile: "Young Master Wang invited me to come, but what is the important matter?"
Wang Can said: "The emperor came just now and was going to taste sweet potatoes and pumpkins. But on the way, soldiers suddenly came to report that the queen was ill. So the emperor hurriedly took the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Du and left."
Yuan Tiangang said: "According to the doctor who diagnosed and treated the queen's condition, the treatment is very difficult, extremely difficult. Once the queen becomes ill, it may indeed be more serious."
Wang Can said: "Has Mr. Yuan met the queen?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "I've seen it before!"
Wang Can said: "Then Queen, what is your condition?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "I don't know about the queen's condition. After all, I have never diagnosed her. But I have seen the queen from a distance. She has a severe loss of qi and blood. It should be a symptom of insufficient qi and blood."
Wang Can said: "Mr. Yuan, please come to the palace to diagnose and treat the queen. After knowing her condition, I will prescribe the right medicine. The queen is good, but it is a pity that she died. Even if it can be suppressed now, the condition will not last long.
good."
Yuan Tiangang raised his brows, showing a surprised look.
Wang Can, who had never interfered with the court situation, was actually willing to take the initiative. Especially the tone in Wang Can's tone was extremely determined. Yuan Tiangang was also very surprised by such a situation.
But Yuan Tiangang is also used to it.
Wang Can is amazing.
In particular, the Compendium of Materia Medica, the movable type printing technology, and even the two kinds of food that Wang Can brought out now are all unheard of and unseen.
So Yuan Tiangang said directly: "No problem, I will enter the palace immediately."
Wang Can nodded.
After Yuan Tiangang got up, he went straight out of the palace and took a carriage into the palace. Li Shimin returned to the harem and asked the doctor about the results of the treatment. The imperial doctor in the palace only said that the condition was temporarily suppressed, but it was difficult to cure Changsun Wugao's qi and blood.
I can't suppress the loss at all, and I don't know what's going on.
Li Shimin was furious and scolded the imperial doctors in the palace as useless people who could not cure the queen's illness.
Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and said: "Guanyin, don't worry. I'm recruiting doctors in the Tang Dynasty. There will always be a miracle doctor who can treat you. I heard that Sun Simiao is a miracle doctor. When the time comes, I'll ask Divine Doctor Sun to diagnose and treat you.
.”
The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine's condition is a disease of the mother. It's not a problem. She will be fine after a while. Your Majesty, please don't punish the imperial doctors because of my concubine's affairs. They have tried their best.
Yes. I am aware of my condition, so Your Majesty does not need to worry."
Li Shimin said: "Guanyin Maid, you are always like this, never thinking about yourself. You have to know that you are the mother of several children. What will they do if you have three children and two children?"
Changsun Wugou said: "Your Majesty, I know this."
Li Shimin then patted his eldest grandson Wugou's hand, but the worry in his eyes had not faded at all. Because eldest grandson Wugou's illness had been recurring frequently recently, Li Shimin was very worried.
At this time, another personal eunuch from Li Shimin's side came. He walked to Li Shimin's side and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang is asking for a meeting. He said he is here to diagnose and treat the Queen's illness."
"please!"
Li Shimin gave the order directly.
Although Yuan Tiangang was the supervisor of the Qintian Prison and was not responsible for curing illnesses and rescuing people, Yuan Tiangang was also a very capable person, so Li Shimin still had a glimmer of hope in Yuan Tiangang.
Not long after, Yuan Tiangang entered. He saluted respectfully and said: "Old minister Yuan Tiangang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "Yuan Qing, there is no need to be polite. Just now you said that you are here to diagnose the condition of Guanyin. Without further delay, you come to diagnose Guanyin's pulse and take a closer look at what symptoms Guanyin has."
Yuan Tiangang stepped forward immediately.
In his place, there is no difference between men and women. The reason is very simple. Yuan Tiangang is a man of seventy or eighty years old. At this stage, Li Shimin doesn't think there is anything.
Yuan Tiangang asked his eldest grandson Wugao to stretch out his hand and carefully diagnose his pulse. After a while, Yuan Tiangang finished diagnosing the pulse. After carefully observing his eldest grandson Wugao's eyes and tongue coating, he stopped diagnosing and looked at Li Shimin, saying
: "Your Majesty, I have a general idea of the Queen's condition. This illness is indeed a bit difficult, but it may not be impossible. Now, I have to go back and think about it carefully and give you an answer in one day."
Li Shimin said: "No problem, I'll wait for you."
Even if the current eldest grandson Wugou is ill, he can still be stable as long as he suppresses it a little. Therefore, Li Shimin has enough time to wait.
