Fang Jun was horrified: "Your Highness, be careful what you say!"
Li Chengqian clicked his tongue, looking a little sad and silent.
Fang Jun whispered: "Your Highness, no matter what, these words must not come out of His Highness's mouth. If others hear it, it will cause disaster!"
As a prince, it can be said that he is the one who waits for the death of the emperor before he can ascend to the throne. What on earth do you want to do if you are so concerned about the emperor's condition? Even if you really have a pure heart, who would believe it if you tell it?
The emperor was the first one not to believe it!
As the most high-risk profession in history, the emperor is most insecure. Not only must he be on guard against wars and wars, but he must also be on guard against the civil and military officials of the dynasty who violate the law and cause chaos. He must also guard against his own son, who has been the prince for too many years and is impatient. Give him this emperor a ride...
In addition, His Majesty Li Er was originally dissatisfied with the prince, and now his temperament has changed drastically after taking the elixir. Once such words reach His Majesty Li Er's ears, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is not surprising that such a talented and strategic emperor would do anything...
Li Chengqian naturally knew this truth, but he couldn't hide his disappointment. He raised his hands and rubbed his face, and said in a low voice: "We are all nobles in the world. When we are born, we are the most noble people in the world... But we are here In the Tian family, even the most basic human ethics and filial piety must be hidden. A son who cares about his father's health may also lead to death... Is it a blessing or a misfortune?"
It is said that life is like a play, but who can bear it when you have to put on a fake face and act out every moment, no matter who you face?
Few people are born actors, and the feeling of hiding their true feelings under disguise all the time is enough to drive a person crazy.
Especially for a gentle person like Li Chengqian who is not very determined in the first place and who absolutely cannot be a "lonely person", it is even more cruel torture...
The reason why Fang Jun did not tell him about His Majesty Li Er taking the elixir was that he was afraid that if he could not bear it for a while and reveal the clues, it would easily make His Majesty Li Er feel suspicious, vigilant, fearful, etc., in case he takes drugs one day. If there are too many, he will have to store them easily regardless of necessity. Not to mention that Li Chengqian will be in bad luck, and the whole world will be in chaos.
"Your Highness, there has been no kindness in the Heavenly Family since ancient times, because you are not only father and son, but also monarchs and ministers. There are many princes in the history books who couldn't stand loneliness, so they made desperate moves and made desperate moves. In the end, the relationship between father and son broke up, and even the whole world was involved in turmoil and turmoil. In the flames of war? I hope His Highness can learn from the past. Filial piety should be kept in the heart, not shown to others. Now he is firmly in the position of Crown Prince. After His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, he will complete the task of supervising the country, so that His Majesty can Exhibiting great ambitions in Liaodong, deciding in one battle, and achieving unprecedented hegemony, this is the true filial piety. Rather than crying before His Majesty, which will arouse His Majesty's suspicion, and end up with a father and son turning against each other and separated from each other. It causes pain to relatives and pleasure to enemies!"
Fang Jun must give Li Chengqian a good analysis so that he will not do something childish in a fit of enthusiasm, which will lead to extremely bad consequences.
Li Chengqian sighed, feeling very lonely. He lowered his head for a while and then said: "In these years, I have acted childishly and recklessly. I have never thought carefully before taking action. Now I already know the importance of it. However, although this is the truth, after all, they are of the same flesh and blood as father and son. I know that my father, the Emperor, There seems to be something wrong with my body, how can I ignore it and pretend that nothing has happened?"
He raised his head and looked at Fang Jun's gloomy face, and asked: "What does Erlang know? You might as well talk to Gu. Only when you know something in Gu's heart can you calm down. Otherwise, you will be worried day and night like a lump in your throat, and you may even want to pretend to be calm. Don’t come out.”
Fang Jun was helpless. He knew Li Chengqian's character very well. If he couldn't know it well in advance, he might really show an anxious and hesitant look when he meets with His Majesty Li Er next time, making His Majesty Li Er wary.
The emperor suffered physical and mental problems after taking the elixir, and it was also found out by his own prince. Who knows what decision he could make in his heart...
He had no choice but to think carefully and said: "I am just guessing that your Majesty is probably taking pills...but there is no evidence, so I dare not make any assumptions."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a long time and said in astonishment: "What's wrong with taking elixirs...? Those elixirs are all refined from precious medicines. Even though they are far from those Taoist priests who boast that eating them can lead to immortality and sainthood, But after all, it should be beneficial to the body, so how can it be harmful?"
Due to the extreme lack of chemical detection technology, people in this era were not aware of the dangers of elixirs. Even for the world-famous "Five Stone Powder", people only saw that it can make people feel high, but they were completely unaware of its dangers. .
I was only proud to explain the dangers of the elixir in a concise and concise manner.
Li Chengqian's attitude towards Fang Jun is not only extremely trusting, but also because Fang Jun has repeatedly achieved outstanding achievements and is unique, he has a kind of "worship" for him. He always feels that there is no Fang Jun in the world. Something Jun doesn’t understand.
He talked about the dangers of elixirs so seriously. Although it was difficult to understand what heavy metal poisoning was, he naturally chose to believe it.
But he also understood that anyone could persuade his father about this kind of thing, but he couldn't.
My father took the elixir in order to become an immortal, a saint, and live forever, but I ran to tell him that he could no longer eat these things... Are you afraid that the emperor will live forever and that the prince, you, will never be able to ascend to the throne?
Anyone would have such suspicion...
Li Chengqian said anxiously: "What should we do?"
Fang Jun comforted him and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. I have informed the two Highnesses Changle and Jinyang about this matter. They will advise you when the time comes. This matter can only be persuaded by the two Highnesses. Others can't do it." Asking His Majesty to pay attention to it will only cause unnecessary suspicion and be counterproductive."
Li Chengqian felt a little relieved: "That's good. My father loves Li Zhi and Si Zi the most. I think my father will listen to her advice..."
In fact, there wasn't much relief.
He knows his father better than his son. He has long had a deep understanding of how stubborn his father is. Can he really give up such a great goal of immortality just because of the persuasion of his two daughters?
But as Fang Jun said, for now, we can only place our hopes on Changle and Jinyang. If they can't successfully dissuade their father, it would be impossible if it were someone else...
Fang Jun looked at Li Chengqian's worried and anxious look. After thinking about it, he felt that he should give the Crown Prince a warning, lest things get hasty in the future and he fails to react in time and causes a disaster.
He leaned his upper body forward, looked directly into Li Chengqian's eyes, and said slowly in a low voice: "The poison of the elixir is gradually changing over time. No one knows to what extent your Majesty has reached. In case... I am a minister." It means that in case something unspeakable suddenly happens in the future, Your Highness needs to be mentally prepared, respond quickly and accurately, and don't get confused because things happen in a hurry."
Li Chengqian was shocked, looked at Fang Jun with wide eyes, and said in shock: "The poison of mercury is harmful to the human body as Erlang said... but why is it like this?"
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "Everything is done in advance, and failure in advance is nothing more than planning ahead. Your Highness can't do anything at this moment, but you must have such a preparation in your heart. If this kind of thing really happens, you won't be able to do it." As for being ignorant and giving others the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and nodded with difficulty.
But it's still hard to accept in my heart. It's just taking pills. How could "unspeakable" things happen?
As long as the main ingredients for refining the elixir are all the most precious and rare treasures in the world, even if you can't live forever if you eat them, you can actually eat the dead... It's unbelievable.
That is to say, he trusts Fang Jun infinitely. If anyone else were to talk about this matter, he would probably fall out on the spot...
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while. Li Chengqian suppressed the turmoil in his heart and slowly digested the earth-shattering news. Fang Jun was also a little lost in thought, thinking about what unforeseen changes would happen to the Tang Dynasty if the course of history changed and His Majesty Li Er died earlier than in history...
There was a knock on the door, and Fang Jun saw that Li Chengqian was still in shock and had not recovered, so he asked someone to come in. Two little maids came in with a pot of hot water, placed it on the coffee table, and replaced the tea leaves in the teapot with new ones. Fang Jun then waved his hand and dismissed the people.
Only then did Li Chengqian come back to his senses, clenched his fists, and spoke slowly but firmly: "These are just speculations. No one knows whether it will happen or not, let alone what the consequences will be. The most important thing right now is to reorganize the East Palace Sixth Rate. Only when you have the army in your hands can you have the strength to deal with some unknown changes."
Fang Jun poured tea for Li Chengqian and said happily: "Your Highness is able to think like this, and he has the demeanor of a prince. The wind is fierce and the rain is fierce. Only by standing firm can you stand still and remain unchanged to cope with all changes." It is the most profound art of war."
