In the Lizheng Hall, Queen Changsun sat in the front seat with her concubine Yang next to her. At the lower head, Li Jing, the Wei Kingdom, was sitting with white hair and white hair. Compared to a few years ago, Li Jing was really old, with wrinkles on his face and no sharpness in his eyes.

Next to Li Jing was the King of Hejian Li Xiaogong. Compared to Li Jing's old attitude, Li Xiaogong, who was under 60 years old, seemed full of energy, and his gray hair and beard could not cover up his toughness. However, like Li Jing, he had a bit of worry on his face.

"Duke Wei, how are the illnesses of Prince Fang and Duke Song?" Empress Changsun asked at this time, with a hint of helplessness flashing across her face. But when she was employed, the two important ministers were all ill.

"Qi Bi, Queen, Fang Xiang has been in poor health since this summer. Although he has been diagnosed by Doctor Sun and others, he is still getting better and worse. Now he is even more ill and cannot get out of bed. As for Duke Song, since he handled the funeral of Mrs. Sui, he has been unable to get sick when he returned to Chang'an and is unable to handle the affairs of the minister." Li Jing was about to struggle to stand up and reply, but was pulled by Li Xiaogong next to him, and then Li Xiaogong replied on his behalf.

Empress Changsun also said to Li Jing and Li Xiaogong with some humility: "I am in chaos now, and I have forgotten that Wei Guo's health is not good." Empress Changsun sighed and then said, "Now Your Majesty is determined to prolong his life. Even the elixirs that he didn't believe in in his early years have begun to take them now. But a few years ago, Wei Zheng passed away, Fang Xiang and Duke Song fell ill. Now, there are only a few people in the court who can advise Your Majesty. "

When they heard Empress Changsun's words, Concubine Yang next to her also looked depressed. When they were on the way back to Chang'an, they heard about Li Shimin taking pills. They only knew that this matter was very serious. Many ministers rushed to advise, but Li Shimin couldn't listen at all. Even Empress Changsun, who had always been confident, dared not persuade him easily now. This is because she knew very well that if the effect was not achieved when she first advised, then the advice in the future would not be of great use, so she could only find a way in secret. She prepared to persuade Li Shimin to change her mind in one go.

"Empress, Lord Changsun is ranked first in Lingyan Pavilion, and his personal relationship with Your Majesty is also very good. If he could persuade Your Majesty, he might be able to change his mind." At this time, Li Xiaogong stood up again and said.

As soon as Li Xiaogong said, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang next to him sighed, thinking that after all, Li Xiaogong was a military general. Although he was well versed in Mingzhe's way of protecting himself, he still seemed a little slow in political affairs. Therefore, Empress Changsun reminded him: "As the uncle of Hejian, Lord Changsun, has always supported the prince, he really should not express any opinions on this matter!"

In fact, Empress Changsun had not finished her words. Not only did Changsun Wuji not participate in this matter. Even Li Zhi also had to avoid suspicion. After all, Li Shimin refining elixirs was to prolong his life. Of course, no one knew whether the elixirs could really prolong his life first, but if Li Zhi, as the prince, persuaded Li Shimin not to take elixirs, then in the eyes of those who are interested, there might be some rumors that are unfavorable to the prince. Therefore, except for Empress Changsun, everyone else must avoid suspicion.

Li Xiaogong was not stupid either. When he heard Empress Changsun's words, he immediately understood. At this time, Empress Changsun continued to ask: "But now Your Majesty is addicted to elixirs and has taken some. Although I don't know much about elixirs, I also know that there has never been an immortal emperor since ancient times. Although those elixirs can stimulate a temporary spirit, they will inevitably cause some harm to the body. So for the sake of this, how can you stop taking elixirs?"

"What the queen said is right. The prince and the eldest grandson cannot participate. It is very unlikely to convince Your Majesty to change your mind by relying on a few of us. Fortunately, Your Highness King Qi has already sent a letter to this matter. I believe everyone has received his letter. In the letter, he said that he had already had the idea to convince Your Majesty, so the old minister also believes that we should find a way to stop taking medicine first, and then wait for the news from Your Highness King Qi." At this time, Li Jing said in an old voice. Although he is old, his mind is still clear and his analysis is very organized.

When Queen Changsun frowned a little when she heard Li Jing mentioning Li Jing several times, she then stretched out. At this time, Concubine Yang seemed to have some sense and said, "In fact, it is not too difficult to ask Your Majesty to stop taking medicine, but this requires someone to take action, this person..."

"Shizi!" Before Yang Fei finished speaking, Empress Changsun next to her guessed who it was, and her eyes lit up. If Li Shimin said that the son he loved most was Li Yan, he was naturally Li Yan, but compared to Li Shimin liked his daughter more. Li Yan was exactly the same as his father. Therefore, as Li Shimin's favorite daughter, if Yizi spoke out, she would be much better than others. It's a pity that her daughter is a daughter after all. She can interfere in such a big event, but it cannot be as powerful as Li Yan.

Li Jing and Li Xiaogong below were relieved when they heard that Yang Fei wanted to invite Princess Jinyang to take action. Although Princess Jinyang was not old, she understood the truth very well. When Li Shimin angrily denounced her ministers, Princess Jinyang would speak to help her ministers defend her subordinates, and it often made Li Shimin angry. It can be said that she had the style of Empress Changsun. Therefore, among the civil and military officials in the court, Princess Jinyang was very well received.

That night, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang called Yizi to the Lizheng Hall, then took Li Shimin's pills, and told them about the objection of the ministers, especially they pointed out that Li Yan was also very opposed to this matter. Yizi has always been closest to Li Yan, and this matter was related to his father's health, so after hearing this, Yizi agreed without hesitation.

The next morning, Yizi went to Liangyi Hall to accompany Li Shimin. Li Shimin was also very happy about this. He thought his daughter wanted to spend more time with him. However, when he was taking the pill, Yizi scolded the Taoist priest who was delivering the medicine. It scared these Taoist priests to be dissatisfied. Not only did Li Shimin not take the pill, but he was also forced to agree by his beloved daughter that he would never take such harmful things again from today.

However, although Li Shimin agreed to Yizi, everyone knew that he was just coaxing Yizi as a father who doted on his daughter. He would definitely eat whatever he wanted afterwards, as long as he was not discovered by Yizi, it would be the case.

However, there were guidance from Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang behind Wei Zi, so naturally there was no way to go. On the third day, Wei Zi was in the palace and accidentally walked to the place where Taoist priests refine their alchemy. These Taoist priests even "collided" her. As a result, Wei Zi took the guards and severely injured all the people involved in the alchemy, especially the Indian monk named Na Luoer Saha, who was taken care of.

Originally, according to the intentions of Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang, they directly killed all the alchemy people. Although Li Shimin might find another group of people afterwards, it could delay for a longer time. However, Wei Zi was soft-hearted after all, so he only injured the limbs of the alchemy people, as long as he could not recover from the alchemy in a short period of time.

Li Shimin naturally understood his daughter's actions, but loving her daughter was one thing, and the extravagant hope in his heart could not be dispelled, so he moved the Taoist priests out of the palace, while arranging them to recover from their injuries, while finding another place for them to refine elixirs. However, due to the injuries of those people, it is estimated that they will not be able to get out of bed for at least half a month.

Of course, although Eizi was not punished for this matter, she could not be punished, otherwise she would seem a little unreasonable. Empress Changsun also knew about this, so although Eizi wanted to help, she was all stopped by Empress Changsun. After all, her mission has been completed, and it will be up to you to see whether Li Yan’s method is effective.

At the end of the 21st year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, a team of officials sent by the Prince of Qi went north from Taiwan on steamboats, then entered the Yellow River to Zhengzhou, and then passed through Luoyang by land, and rushed to Chang'an without stopping. When the team entered Chang'an from Mingde Gate, all the civil and military ministers who had been waiting for them were relieved. Although Li Yan did not come in person this time, he had already promised Li Jing and the others in the letter that as long as the people he sent arrived in Chang'an, they could immediately convince Li Shimin to change their minds.

The person led by this team was Wang Zihao, who was in charge of business development in the Qi Palace. When Li Yan left Chang'an, Wang Zihao stayed in Chang'an to deal with various mansions and families, so he was familiar with everyone, and his weight was heavy enough, so it was more convenient to contact Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others.

Due to time constraints, Wang Zihao's team was very simple. Apart from dozens of guards in the royal palace, the rest were a large box containing the seized A Furong. In addition to these, there were two special prisoners in the team, namely Taoist Huo Yuanzi and Persian Hu Shang Ashan Road.

Compared to when they were in Taiwan, Huo Yuanzi and Ashanlu were obviously much thinner, and the anxiety on their faces became more and more serious as Chang'an approached. However, what is strange is that they were extremely spirited. At least when they entered Chang'an, they did not look tired at all. Even the strong royal palace guards were not as good as them.

Moreover, as soon as they arrived in Taiwan, Wang Zihao was summoned to the palace by Empress Changsun. At the same time, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong also entered the palace before him. After all, they had been waiting for this day. But they were also a little nervous, wondering if Li Yan's method was effective?
