Chapter 44 The eldest grandson of heat stroke
Li Shimin sat alone in front of the desk, his face gloomy as water, and he was flipping through the secret letters submitted by the frontier garrison.
The Turks in the north are about to move again. Since the beginning of the major change in June this year, vultures on the grassland have set their sights on him. Millions of string control men and the life-and-death enemy of the Central Plains dynasty have caused headaches for emperors of all dynasties since ancient times.
The grassland wolf clan adheres to the law of wolves surrounding them. Once they find their weaknesses, they will inevitably attack them. They must tear off their flesh and blood and eat and drink enough to be content.
Now the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is not stable, and the Turkic combat power is the best in the world. If this group of cruel wolf clans rushed south, what would the Tang Dynasty use to resist? Can Li Shimin still sit firmly?
The national treasury is empty and its troops are weak. Even if there are dozens of famous generals in the country, the war still focuses on strength.
Li Shimin felt very upset. Since the Li family started amid the chaos of heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they were just a mean force. For the sake of their dreams, he led the generals to fight bloody battles in all directions to fight the world. Finally, he set his head on the Central Plains and pushed his father to the throne of the emperor.
Then, the brother turned against the emperor's power, and he once again stood up, killing his brother and slaughtering his brothers all the way, forcing his father to abdicate, ascend the throne with the blood of his relatives, and finally grasping the ultimate power of the world.
This right is so difficult!
Confucianism calls him cruelty, scholars ridiculed him for being indifferent, while aristocratic families are fueling the fire...
He paid too much for the throne of the emperor, how could he bear to give it up? The Turkic Wolf tribe was ready to move at this critical moment, which really made him angry and unable to calm down his hatred.
"If one day the Tang Dynasty rises, I will raise millions of troops and slaughter the grassland..."
The summer is hot and the heat is unbearable. Although there are a lot of ice in the room, it still makes people feel hot and uneasy. Li Shimin was already depressed. Coupled with the influence of the stuffy weather, he felt an evil fire coming out in his heart. He picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat, but he felt a little hot in his mouth. He could no longer suppress the anger and smashed the teacup with a "bang".
The eunuch on duty in the room shivered all over. The guards on duty outside the door rushed in when they heard the noise. Seeing the emperor's face full of anger, they knelt down together without thinking.
"What do you want?" Li Shimin's eyes were whirling like a dragon roaring: "In such a hot weather, I brought me a cup of hot tea. I didn't check it for a while and my mouth was so hot that it was so hot that I was full of bubbles. Do you want to kill the lord?"
The eunuchs and guards knelt on the ground in fear, everyone was trembling, but they did not dare to make any noise. The emperor was furious and thunderous. At this critical moment, who dared to argue, it would be really a matter of being killed by a stick.
As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. No matter how wise the monarch is, he will be angry. Seeing that His Majesty's face turned pale, the eunuchs and guards were terrified.
Everyone is in danger, and they are asking for gods and Buddhas in their hearts, just looking forward to His Majesty's anger to eliminate His Majesty, otherwise the heavy rain and thunder may fall on some unlucky ghost.
But the world is unpredictable. It rained all night long. Just as the eunuchs and guards were praying to Buddha and praying to God, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and one of them shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Queen has fainted from heatstroke!"
Bang! With a loud bang, Li Shimin punched the table, and he ran out of the door without thinking. The people kneeling in the room looked at each other and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard from the orders of His Majesty outside the door, like frost, biting cold.
"The person who serves hot tea will be killed by a stick..."
This is the emperor, holding the power of the world, and one word can kill one's life. An eunuch in the room was pale, his whole body was trembling like a sieve, slowly sliding down to the ground like mud, his eyes were full of despair and dark colors. (Some people would say that Li Shimin is the emperor of the ages, and he would not be so careless, right? The mountains and rivers do not refute this, because I also wrote it based on guesses, after all, this is a novel)
...
Tai Chi Palace, Li Zheng Hall, and Empress Changsun Bureau Office.
There were also a room full of people kneeling here, including palace maids with disgrace, eunuchs with fear, and imperial physicians with dull faces.
Li Shimin walked with a tiger-like step, and was full of murderous aura, running all the way. But a eunuch kneeled at the door of the house blocking the way. He was in anger, and he raised his legs and swept out, hitting the eunuch's temple. The eunuch immediately tilted his neck and foamed at the mouth, and fainted without even humming.
"Are all people dead?" Li Shimin roared loudly and ran to the bed to see that Changsun was pale and sweaty on his forehead. Several palace maids were holding ice cubes in fear and were carefully helping the queen cool down.
There was a seven or eight-year-old little loli lying beside the queen's bed. When she saw Li Shimin coming, she immediately shouted in tears: "Father, mother, she..."
Li Shimin felt that he was about to explode!
"Where is the imperial physician? Get out of here!"
Several imperial physicians shivered all over and looked at each other, shirking their own responsibilities, but just lowering their heads and kneeling on the ground to pretend to be dead.
"Are you deaf? Get over here..." Li Shimin roared again, his face turned pale, and he was already murderous.
One of them looked a little old. Seeing that all the imperial physicians were stuck, he sighed and stood up from the ground and walked slowly to the emperor.
The old doctor, Dezhao, once treated many princes and concubines. After seeing him, Li Shimin's anger slightly faded, but his tone was still cold. He asked: "Why didn't the queen take the medicine quickly when she was heatstroke? The weather was so hot, but the queen was unconscious. What are you thinking about?"
"Your Majesty's atonement is not for the delay of the ministers, but it is really a cause!" The old doctor wiped his sweat from his forehead and replied carefully: "Heat stroke is a sudden symptom. There has never been a good prescription for treatment. Generally, ice cubes are used to cool down and mint juice are used to treat..."
"What are you waiting for? Prescribe medicine, what is mint? Come find it for me!"
"Your Majesty, let's go. The Queen suffers from wind disease. This medicine of mint is spicy and cool in nature and cannot be taken!"
"Can't take it?" Li Shimin's face became gloomy again, and he felt anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and he roared loudly: "What should I do? You can't just use ice to cool down? Prescribe medicine, you prescribe medicine for me, and prescribe medicine that the queen can take..."
The imperial physician sighed softly, slowly lowered his head, and said sadly: "I will die thousands of times, but I will not be able to open it."
"What do you want? What do you want..." Li Shimin finally left wildly. He burst into anger. He suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted: "If the queen can't wake up today, I will kill you corpses and bury them all with the queen..."
The emperor was furious and burst into thunder. The imperial physicians were trembling all over, the guards were silent, and the palace maids were fascinated.
The entire palace is filled with endless depression and murderous aura.
The little palace maid who was close to Empress Changsun said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, when the Empress fainted, I begged the guards to invite Doctor Sun, but... It's just that Master Sun lives outside Chang'an, hoping... I hope it can be reached!"
Li Shimin paused and began to calculate the time in his heart. The divine Doctor Sun, who was mentioned by the palace maid, knew that he was Sun Simiao, a Taoist master of medical skills. However, he lived in a Taoist temple outside Chang'an. Even if he ran from the palace, it would probably take half an hour.
Half an hour?
After reaching this answer, Li Shimin's face suddenly became dim.
Heat stroke is an acute disease. After half an hour, Empress Changsun’s physique could not be delayed.
"Guanyin Monument, you and I have worked together from difficulties to reach today. Seeing that good days are coming, why are you..." Li Shimin sighed and stopped and did not say the following words.
At this time, the little loli lying on the bed suddenly wiped her tears and raised her head and said, "Father, Ling'er has a magical medicine that can cure her mother's illness..."
Li Shimin just thought it was a childish word, sighed sadly, and said nothing.
"It's the real father!" The little loli was anxious and shouted: "This magical medicine was taught by a young genius in his dream. It was sold in the west market of Chang'an. The guards all said that this medicine saved many people!"
Young Wizard?
Be taught by God in a dream?
Why does this sound so familiar?
The look of hope gradually appeared in Li Shimin's eyes...
