Li Chao directed Niu Jianhu, and Cheng Chumo and his disciples chopped and cut and started carpentry work in the tent. Li Xiuning came in and saw the wood chips all over the ground, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Make a wheelchair." Li Chao held a pencil in his hand and marked the size on the paper.

Li Xiuning came over and looked at him, "For the prince?"

"Well, when he gets better, he can sit in this wheelchair. He doesn't need to be carried by anyone, and he can turn his head and walk by himself. When his leg injury is completely healed, it will take at least a year to keep it well. It will be much more convenient to have this wheelchair."

Li Xiuning took Li Chao's hand, "It's time to do these things in the future, and the prince won't use them for the time being. Let's go and go out for a break. I'm very worried about you now. In fact, the prince's affairs are just an accident. Don't blame yourself too much."

Li Chao put down his pen and said to Niu Jianhu who pretended not to see anything, "I'll go out, you guys continue."

After leaving the tent, the two of them walked out of the camp without riding horses, and a team of guards followed.

The people in the camp turned a blind eye to Li Chao and Li Xiuning's open relationship. The relationship between the two has been made public now. Since the emperor doesn't care about this matter and Li Xiangguo's wife doesn't care about it, then no one can care about it.

"I ruined the prince of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chao sighed.

"No, that's just an accident."

"But this accident is because I didn't take good care of the prince. I always regarded the prince too mature and regarded him as a teenager in his teens, but in fact he was only eight years old. I know that many people are already thinking about whether the Tang Dynasty will change the prince."

"Who dares, I can't spare him the first one." Pingyang also likes Cheng Qian very much, likes the maturity and intelligence of this nephew.

"You know in your heart that there will be many people who have this idea, and more and more people will. If it weren't for the bearded guest this time, even in a few years, the guilt in His Majesty's heart would gradually fade away, and that kind of thought would arise at that time."

"You won't have such thoughts, do you? So what if you break your legs? What is important for the prince is benevolence, virtue and wisdom."

"But no blind, lame, deaf, and crown princes." Li Chao did not hide anything in front of Li Xiuning, and said whatever he had. These were not his ideas, but they would be the ideas of most people. Just like the imperial court selecting officials, a good character is definitely one, and it will be very important. If you are not upright, it will be difficult to be selected, let alone disabled.

"Who said no, you are still a great hero of Wenzong? Not only are there disabled people who become emperors, but there are also several others."

Li Chao didn't argue about these things. He knew that if the prince really became a cripple, the position of the prince might be really dangerous. After all, the prince is still so young now, and it is less than one year old to be the prince. It is not too difficult to change one at this time.

The prince almost became a cripple, but fortunately.

"You will support the prince, right?"

Li Chao nodded. No matter what, he would always support the prince. Especially this accident, Li Chao himself couldn't overcome that hurdle. "I will always support the prince, and I will better protect him, teach him, and make him an excellent prince and a wise monarch in the future."

The autumn wind is bleak.

The hunting has been cancelled, but because the prince's injury is not suitable for returning immediately, the emperor's team temporarily stayed at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

"Is the prince in a better mood now?" Li Chao asked.

On the day of the operation, the prince woke up. When he learned from Li Shimin that his legs were kept, he performed very well. He even comforted Li Shimin and Li Chao in turn, so that they would not have to worry about their legs. Such an optimistic prince made Li Chao feel indebted.

God blessed him to keep the prince's legs.

However, although the prince's legs have been connected, they still have to be observed. Even Zhang Zhongjian dared not guarantee that the prince's legs will be as intact as before.

The current situation is that the connection is connected, but only about 70% of the legs are saved, but in the future, they will be a little lame, and there is only 30% chance that they will recover.

Li Chengqian believes in that 30% chance.

Li Shimin and Li Chao are also willing to believe in the 30% chance, but they also have to consider the other 70% chance. What if the prince’s leg is limping in the future?

The prince was only eight years old, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty has been a lame since then?

Li Chao was unwilling to see the prince. When he saw the prince, he always felt guilty, especially when he saw the prince lying on the hospital bed so optimistically, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Because of the prince's affairs, the relationship between Li Chao and Li Shimin became very stiff.

Their monarch and ministers have never even talked alone, so everyone tried their best to avoid it.

Li Chao knew that the prince could not go back, and neither did he and Li Shimin. There was a deep crack between the two, which was difficult to bridge. Even if the wound healed, it would still leave scars.

"The Queen is coming. When the Queen is here, maybe His Majesty will be in a better mood."

Li Chao didn't think the queen could appease Li Shimin immediately, "Take it slow, there must be a process. Your Majesty also suffered a big blow this time. Even if the prince is good, he would be shocked. But what is gratifying is that the prince is very optimistic, which makes me very proud. This incident did not make the prince frustrated at all, but instead made him stronger. This is such a good child."

"Have you ever considered yourself? Because of this matter, Your Majesty has prejudice against you and has resentment in her heart. Although it is not no wonder that you are in this matter, Your Majesty is also a father, and it is also difficult for him to accept the changes of the prince. Otherwise, I will find you to see Your Majesty and talk to you alone?"

Li Chao smiled bitterly, what are you talking about?

Li Shimin is a very smart person. He doesn’t understand some things, but it’s hard to accept these emotions now. It’s difficult to change the emotional point of view immediately.

There was a piece of dry weed in front, yellow. Li Chao walked over and sat down, and finally lay down.

The sky is very blue, and the fresh air brings the coldness of early winter.

Resting his head on his hands, looking at the sky.

Li Xiuning also imitated Li Chao's appearance, and lay directly beside him without disgust, leaning his head against his chest. The guards in the distance stopped consciously, stayed there, and turned their heads over.

"This is really a troublesome!" Li Chao sighed.

This year is unusual.

The beginning of the year was the Xuanwu Gate. A palace coup, although it was not bloody, it was considered a change of weather. Summer finally had a great harvest, and then the court recovered Shuofang and reached a peace agreement with the Turks. It was obvious that everything was fine.

But after autumn comes, everything becomes troublesome again.

The continuous drought and the outbreak of autumn locusts made the harvest worse in various places in autumn, and the Central Plains became a severely affected area. The court tried its best to minimize the disaster losses and control the situation.

But then something happened to the northern Turks, which completely disrupted the court's arrangements. Finally, the Er Li recovered Daibei and the situation moved towards a favorable direction in the Tang Dynasty.

In a blink of an eye, something happened to the prince again.

The crown prince is not only the emperor's eldest son. Although Cheng Qian has been enthroned for less than a year, the crown prince is extremely important as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and is so important that it can be called the foundation of the country.

The prince's leg is broken. If he is lame, then the prince's status will be shaken. The next step may be a dispute over the foundation of the country. This is a big deal for the court. Even compared to the major disaster this year, the big locust plague next year, and the Turkic rebellion in the north, it is much bigger.

The deposed and established the crown prince will involve countless ministers and relatives.

If something happens to the prince at this time, someone may even bring up Xuanwu Gate again, which will cause many powerful landlords whose interests have been damaged in this disaster to take the opportunity to question the legitimacy of the emperor's throne. There will be rumors. Some people may take the opportunity to say that the drought plague this autumn, the military plague in the north, and the prince's broken legs are said to be that Li Shimin's throne is not upright and the orthodox throne is not enough.

For Li Shimin and the court, this involves the foundation of rule.

A turbulent autumn.

After chatting for a while, Li Chao pulled Li Xiuning up and returned to the camp together.

Li Chao hesitated at the gate of the camp, but in the end he did not go back to his tent directly, but headed towards the prince's tent.

There are still many guards outside the prince's tent, and there are many doctors sitting in the tent next to it. They now take turns on duty here to take care of the prince at any time.

When Li Qiao came, the guards no longer stopped him.

Turn the tent in.

There is a brazier in the tent, and the cowhide tent is very warm.

Li Chao slowly walked to the prince's bed. Cheng Qian is still in bed and recuperating. The operation was done well and he recovered well, but it will take a long time to go to the ground.

The best news right now is that no wound infection occurred after the operation.

Cheng Qian's face was much paler than before, and there was no inspiration in his eyes.

Li Chao sat beside the bed, and the eunuchs retreated.

Cheng Qian glanced at Li Chao and called out to Master.

Li Chao nodded, but didn't know what to say.

"Master, I want to eat crispy fried fish, which is slightly spicy."

"You are recovering from injuries now. You should try to eat lighter and eat less fried food."

The prince pouted, "This cannot be eaten, that cannot be eaten, the birds are about to fade out of his mouth!"

Li Chao burst out and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Where did you learn the bastards? This is all for your health, so how could you lie to you."

"Teacher, is the one who treats my legs really a bearded guest? Teacher Ke's master? I used to think that Teacher Ke was the most powerful person. He had a stern face every day and often appeared quietly, as powerful as a ghost. Unexpectedly, his teacher was a bearded guest. I also heard of this person before, and was said to be the sworn brother of Duke Wei Li Jing and his wife. Later, he went to the Nanman Sea to establish himself as a king? Where is the Nanman Island Kingdom?"

"It's very far away. From the dock of Xiangyang along the Han River, you can go from Jiangxia into the Yangtze River, then down the Yangtze River, and then down the Yangtze River, and go east into the sea. When you reach the East China Sea, you will reach the South China Sea. There is Hainan Island, a huge island, and further south, it is Jiaozhou of the imperial court, which is the Annan capital. From Annan and then south, it is Linyi State, and Linyi State goes south, it is Fuyu State. There is Zhenla State, a vassal state of Fuyu State. The seventy-two islands of the Nanman where the bearded guest are located are on the islands along the coast of Zhenla State."

"Wow, isn't that far away from us!"

"It's a thousand miles away, very far from the Central Plains, especially in many places, it can only be passed by sea, and it's very difficult to go south or north with the help of the annual trade wind."

"I really want to go to the South China Sea. Teacher, is there really a Dragon King on the sea?"

"The Dragon King of the Four Seas is just what people imagine. In fact, there are no gods in the world, and gods just exist in people's imagination."

These words surprised the young prince. No one had ever said such words to him. There was no god in the world.

"Teacher, I don't want to be the prince anymore. Please tell my father that I should abolish my position as the prince. Give me a title, and give me a fiefdom or an island on the East Sea. When my injury heals, I will enfeoff the country and go to the beach to live."

"Chengqian, you are the prince, you will always be the prince. Now, and in the future, no one can take away your position as the prince. You are just a little injured, what's that? When your injury is healed, you want to go to see the sea, the teacher will take you there, and you can also wait for you to visit the South China Sea after you ascend the throne in the future."

"Can my legs really be good?" Cheng Qian asked Li Chao very seriously.
