"I will not follow the example of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who trapped and killed King Huai of Chu, and will be criticized by future generations for thousands of years."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said,
"I am not only the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Khan of all nations! As the lord of all nations, I must be honest and upright in my affairs and follow the right path!"
"If you want to fight a war or destroy a country, you must have good reasons and evidence, and your teachers must be famous! Only in this way can the world be convinced!"
"Such actions may appear to be a gain, but in fact they are a loss of reputation, which is not a good thing in the long run."
Li Er is arrogant.
He disdains using those methods to deal with people!
Although Tubo has great potential in Xu Fenglei's words, it is definitely not to the point where he needs to use special means to kill its monarch to contain it.
"Your Majesty is holy."
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"I just said that casually, we really can't do too many of those immoral things."
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"However, it would be okay to invite the Tubo leader to Datang."
He hummed softly,
"I also want to see what the hero of the plateau you call looks like, hum..."
Xu Fenglei's high praise has already aroused Li Er's competitive spirit.
It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and run around!
"Then you have to summon the Tibetan envoy."
Xu Fenglei responded.
While they were discussing, they saw a guard quickly stepping into the hall, kneeling on one knee and saying:
"Your Majesty! Urgent delivery to Liangzhou!"
"A group of cavalry from Tuyuhun invaded Liangzhou again and raided the people, causing a lot of casualties! Money, food and livestock were also robbed!"
boom!
When Li Shimin heard the news, his face suddenly darkened! His palms slammed down on the table!
"It's too much!"
Li Er said angrily,
"It Tuyuhun came to propose marriage, and at the same time it came to attack our border! It treated me like a weakling!"
Tang Jian was shocked and hurriedly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I will immediately hold the Tuyuhun envoy accountable!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"No need!"
He ordered,
"My patience has its limit! I have given the Murong family time and time again, but they are the ones who are trying to get the best of me!"
"Li Jing! Send an order to Li Daoyan, the governor of Liangzhou, to lead the troops to counterattack! Kill me!"
Li Jing looked stern.
"According to the order!"
He accepted the order and said in a sonorous and powerful voice,
"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun is so surly and should be taught a lesson!"
"Are they going to mobilize troops from all over the country to attack their country? They have invaded Liangzhou three times and they have a plan to kill them!"
"Now that the division has become famous and the general is incompetent, I am willing to lead the army to attack and destroy the Murong clan's country!"
Hearing that there was a battle, Li Jing immediately became energetic!
He stopped calling himself a minor official and changed his name to "the last general"!
Li Shimin glanced at him expressionlessly.
"You want me to break my promise?"
Li Er waved his hands and said,
"Let's give them a taste of the pain first! If they are really stubborn and insist on touching the tiger's butt, then I will have to send troops to destroy it."
He had promised not to use weapons for five years, and he wanted to keep his promise.
But there is always a clown jumping sideways that day, which is very annoying!
"yes."
When Li Jing heard this, he was not discouraged. Instead, his old eyes were bright and bright.
The five-year agreement will expire at the end of next year!
In other words, as long as Tuyuhun continues to seek death, he has every chance to assemble an army and lead an expedition next year!
Thinking about it, I feel a little excited...
Murong Fuyun, you old boy must continue to seek death...
At this moment, a maid suddenly ran in and was stopped by the guards.
"Stop! No one is allowed to enter the political hall!"
I don't know which palace's maid got lost and actually ran into the political hall!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! My dear, she is having difficulty giving birth. Please go and have a look!"
“She can’t give birth to the baby, it’s going to hurt so much!”
"Woooooooo..."
The maidservant knelt outside the threshold, looking extremely anxious and bursting into tears!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
Which queen is going to have a baby? They haven’t heard of it either!
Li Shimin himself was a little confused.
"Empress...which one?"
he asked as he stood up.
It's not that he's a scumbag, he really can't remember any of his concubines giving birth!
"Your Majesty, this is the Queen, the talented person..."
The maid cried and responded,
"Please go and have a look! And...can you send a better doctor? The current one...is not useful!"
Li Shimin slapped his head and then remembered.
Wang Cairen!
He had nothing to do a few years ago, and when he was wandering around the harem, he happened to meet the beautiful girl named Wang several times. Seeing her delicate appearance, he liked her, so he made her a talented woman.
After the New Year, I was busy with things, so I forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, she was pregnant with a child! This is an unexpected surprise!
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now, I'll go right now."
He quickly stood up and left the table, frowning and saying,
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant with the baby earlier?!"
The maid wiped her tears and said:
"The empress also said it, but there is no news... She can't leave the palace, and you didn't go to visit her, so of course you don't know."
Li Shimin's face darkened.
"Then this is the queen's responsibility. The queen should take good care of the affairs of the harem! Giving birth to a concubine is not a trivial matter!"
He said displeasedly,
"Forget it! Let's not talk about this for now, let's go!"
"Listen, you come with me!"
Xu Fenglei is considered a half-doctor after all, so if he follows him now, he might be able to help a little bit.
"yes."
Xu Fenglei also stood up and left the table, following Li Er in a hurry.
Only the ministers looked at each other in the political hall.
"Is this a happy event... or a sad event?"
"This is your Majesty's family matter! Don't talk too much, let's just mind our own business!"
"Yes, yes... Maogong, let's study how to give orders to Li Daoyan! Although it is a defensive counterattack, it also has a scale. Look, how many troops should he lead to meet the enemy? Eight thousand ...Is it enough?”
"..."
The harem is in a small courtyard.
The hierarchy in the inner court is strict, and each level enjoys the same treatment.
A queen like Changsun Wugou naturally lives in the largest and most luxurious palace, enjoys the most staffing, and is served by countless people.
Downstairs, there are various concubines, four concubines and nine concubines. The size of their arrangement is naturally smaller than that of the queen.
Further down, there is the wife of the twenty-seventh generation.
A talented person is the lowest among worldly wives. She barely has a palace and can command a few maids.
And this Wang Cairen lives in this small, cold courtyard.
Li Shimin stepped into the courtyard, followed by Xu Fenglei and Li Lizhi.
Li Zhi and Xu Fenglei specially called her here. After all, she is Sun Simiao's direct disciple, and she also specializes in gynecology. Although she has only studied for a short time, her level is no lower than that of an imperial physician!
"See Your Majesty..."
"See your majesty! Wuwuwu... Your Majesty, my wife is dying!"
A few scattered maids cried together, bowed to Li Shimin and cried.
"Get out of my way!"
Li Lizhi pushed away everyone and walked into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, a strong smell of blood hit his nose.
This is massive bleeding!
Inside the room, the imperial doctor was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
The hands were already blood red, and several copper basins beside him were stained with blood!
Wang Cairen, who was on the bed, had his eyes tightly closed at this moment and his lips were white.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Li Lizhi shouted,
"Wake up! Don't fall asleep!"
She looked down and saw that the baby's head was indeed stuck in her lower abdomen and couldn't come out.
The mother must have the strength to give birth to the child. But at this moment, Wang Cairen had lost too much blood. How could she still have the strength?
She has already fallen into a coma!
"Li Zhi, how is it? How is it?!"
"I have already called the imperial doctor, and called all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital! I told her to hold on!"
Li Shimin stood at the door and shouted loudly.
There were rules that men were not allowed in the delivery room, so he could only wait anxiously outside.
Apart from that, nothing else can be done.
Li Lizhi ignored her father and instead scolded the imperial physician beside her:
"What did you do? The key at this time is to stop her bleeding and get her to wake up!"
"What's the use of just looking at it? Don't you have any experience in gynecology?"
The imperial doctor's face turned green and red.
"Back...back to Your Highness Princess, Wei Chen is indeed not very good at delivering babies."
He looked confused,
"After all, men and women are not close to each other, so they have very little experience..."
"The Queen Mother's situation is too complicated. If she had a normal birth, I could still follow the steps, but as soon as her blood came out, I panicked and didn't know what to do!"
"Only, only..."
Li Lizhi gently pressed various parts of Wang Cairen's lower abdomen and sighed softly.
"Difficult labor and severe bleeding are very difficult."
She looked at Wang Cairen, who was unconscious and his body was getting colder, and said,
"Go! Close the door!"
"Yes!" The imperial doctor did not dare to neglect, quickly went out and closed the door.
outside the house.
Li Shimin was so anxious that he paced back and forth.
"Listen! Why don't you go in!"
"I...I have no experience in obstetrics and gynecology! Going in will only cause trouble!"
"Alas! Alas! It's all my fault, it's all my fault! She's about to give birth, and I don't even know! She should have been equipped with a full set of troops! Speaking of which, Guanyin Maid is in charge of this matter! How could she You just don’t care!”
"The Empress is weak, how can she still have the energy to take care of the affairs of the harem? It is probably the people below who are taking care of it. It must be the people below who are negligent. This cannot be blamed on the Empress."
"..."
While the two were talking, Li Shimin was so upset that he could only light a cigarette.
Snap, snap, snap.
After several strokes, he immediately took another one, and after several strokes in succession, his mood calmed down a little.
At this time, the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital finally arrived.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Stop seeing me, come in and help!"
Li Shimin urged,
"At any cost, we must save the lives of mother and son!"
“If you save it, you’ll be rewarded, if you don’t, you’ll be punished!”
All the doctors: "!!!"
"According to the order!"
A group of people swarmed in, opened the door, and walked in.
After a few seconds, several of them were blasted out.
"what happened?!"
Li Shimin frowned and asked,
"Why did you come out?!"
The leader, Dr. Zhang, said helplessly:
"Back to Your Majesty, Her Majesty is the one who kicked us out. We have no experience in obstetrics and gynecology, so standing there is in the way. We don't need so many people to do it."
Li Shimin: "..."
"This, okay!"
He nodded and said quickly,
"So how is Wang Cairen's situation now? Is the baby going well?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head.
"The Queen has lost too much blood and has completely fainted. According to Her Royal Highness, it is difficult to save her life."
He said,
"Fortunately, Your Highness the Princess is so powerful that she temporarily stopped the bleeding. But just stopping the bleeding is useless. The child is stuck there and can't get out. If this continues, the Queen Mother will definitely not be able to endure it!"
"well!"
"I hope Jiren will have good fortune..."
When Li Shimin heard this, his face became even more ugly. He lit the cigarette in his hand again and took several puffs.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
Xu Fenglei comforted,
"Lizhi was personally passed down by Master Sun, and she specializes in gynecology. Although she hasn't had much practical experience, her basic skills are definitely extremely solid."
"With her here, the Queen should be able to avert danger."
Some consolation finally made Li Shimin look a little better.
"Yes, yes, you are right..."
Li Shimin calmed down and murmured,
"Lizhi is the direct descendant of Sun Zhenren, which is equivalent to half of Sun Zhenren! With her here, she will definitely be able to save both of them..."
"Fortunately, fortunately...fortunately I let Lizhi study medicine..."
At this moment, Li Er was extremely lucky!
Fortunately, my daughter studied medicine, and it really comes in handy now!
At this time, the Queen's eldest grandson Wugou also arrived.
"Your Majesty, something happened to Wang Cairen?!"
Changsun Wugou looked a little worried. He hurriedly walked to Li Shimin and asked quickly.
Li Shimin's expression changed.
"You have the nerve to ask? Shouldn't you know this in advance?"
Li Er couldn't help scolding him,
"As the master of the harem, you don't even know that someone in the harem is pregnant! You haven't taken any measures in all aspects!"
"You didn't even come to tell me..."
"If her slaves hadn't come to the political hall to find me, I still wouldn't have known she was going to give birth!"
"Right now, there's massive hemorrhage due to difficult labor... If there's something wrong with it, then you've done a great sin! Do you know that?"
Li Shimin has never rebuked Changsun Wugou like he did today!
This time, he was really angry!
You haven't done anything you should do. Not to mention that you treat them like sisters. At least you should give them the condolences, right? Should we arrange for someone to take care of us?
After all, she is pregnant with my child, a dragon species!
Such indifference is really abominable!
At this moment, even Xu Fenglei couldn't say much and could only remain silent.
"Your Majesty, this concubine has neglected her duty!"
Changsun Wugou did not shirk his responsibility. He immediately knelt down in front of Li Shimin and said,
"I didn't tell my concubine about Wang Cairen's matter. I didn't even know that she was pregnant!"
"Thousands of mistakes are made, and they are all my concubine's fault... Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Seeing her like this, Li Shimin's expression softened a bit.
"What's the use of punishing you now?"
He waved his hand and said displeasedly,
"Get up! It's cold on the ground! Your body and bones are weak... That's all. I'll find someone to help you take care of the harem!"
