Li Xuan slowly exited the Qianyuan Hall. At the entrance of the hall, an old eunuch was already waiting aside. He waved his whisk and said, "King Nanchang, your Majesty has summoned you."
"I obey the order!" Li Xuan looked solemn, straightened his sleeves, and followed the old eunuch calmly to the left.
Walking on the blue bricks, Li Xuan recalled the entire process of meeting the Queen of Heaven Wu Zhao, and made sure that there were no omissions, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been preparing for today's private audience for a long time, and he also got the best chess piece, which was the local wealthy family.
The biggest ruling foundation of a dynasty is these local wealthy families and aristocratic families. The biggest moth is also these local wealthy families and aristocratic families.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang only saw this point, which led to the collapse of the world and it was out of control.
A truly smart person should be like their Emperor Taizong, who is inclusive of both, both useful and defensive.
Wei Zheng said, "Water can carry or overturn a boat." This refers to the correct attitude towards aristocratic families and local wealthy families.
Li Xuan did not say the second half of the sentence in front of Queen Wu Fu, otherwise, what he faced would not be appreciation, but fear.
However, Li Xuan didn't know that after he left, Ming Chongyan suddenly appeared and said a lot of good things about him.
But if he really knew it, he would be surprised and suspicious.
Yao Daoming Chongyan has never been a good person, and being targeted by him has always been a big trouble.
…
Between the green bricks and red tiles, a corner of Zhenguan Hall is faintly visible.
Today, the real master of the Tang Empire, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, lives in Zhenguan Hall.
Daily government affairs were handled by Queen Wu Zhao in the Qianyuan Hall, while the Emperor lived in the Zhenguan Hall to recuperate and reviewed only a few important memorials.
Since the coming of the Second Saint, both the government and the public have long been accustomed to this way of handling the political situation.
Compared with the Qianyuan Hall where people come and go, the Zhenguan Hall is much quieter. People entering and exiting are extremely careful and make as little noise as possible.
Under the magnificent palace gate, Li Xuan followed the old eunuch and calmly and carefully walked into the Zhenguan Palace.
Compared with Qianyuan Hall, Zhenguan Hall is much more cramped.
In particular, there are yellow gauze curtains everywhere inside, which not only blocks the wind, but also blocks prying eyes.
Even with Li Xuan's eyesight, he could only see a vague figure lying half on the soft couch.
"My dear brother, King Li Xuan of Nanchang, please bow to the saint." Li Xuan waved his hands and finally knelt down directly in the hall, then bowed his head deeply to the ground.
Li Xuan had great respect and admiration for the emperor Li Zhi who could firmly suppress Wu Zetian's ambitions.
Only by truly living in this era can Li Xuan realize the terrifying power possessed by Queen Wu Zhao.
All government affairs, from big to small, almost everything goes through her hands.
The whole world is in her hands.
It’s not that no one has raised objections, but over the past twenty years or so, those who raised objections have either been sent out or have died.
At this time, people discovered that although the Queen of Heaven was firmly in control of the political power, she was still unable to take a step beyond her control.
Because the one who truly suppressed this extremely ambitious Queen and truly ruled the entire Tang Dynasty was still the Emperor Li Zhi.
Husband and wife are one body, so why should others comment on it?
"Ahem...you went to see the queen." Li Zhi's voice was a little weak, but he could barely hear the calmness.
"Yes, the Empress of Heaven ordered me to go to Chongxuan Office and cooperate with the real masters to try their best to perfect the ceremony of this water and land ceremony."
"The Queen knows how to make the best use of people." Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
In recent years, Li Zhi has paid considerable attention to the children of the royal family who have long-term development potential.
Li Xuan stayed in Chang'an for three years for some reasons in his early years, and then returned to Pengzhou.
Although he is young, Li Xuan has maintained good relationships with Qingyang Temple in Chengdu, Qingcheng Mountain in Shuzhou, and Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain over the years.
However, these are all superficial. Li Xuan's real ability lies in his very sobriety.
He knows what to do and what not to do, and he does it.
"My brother is scared, this is the medicine refined by Longhu Mountain for Your Majesty." Li Xuan took out the black lacquered wooden box from the python robe and stared at it.
When she was in Qianyuan Hall before, Li Xuan was a little nervous and forgot about it. Looking back now, it really didn't cause any trouble when Li Xuan met Wu Zetian.
Now it's Emperor Riji's turn.
Behind the curtain next to him, a Taoist priest in purple suddenly appeared and took the black lacquered wooden box from Li Xuan's hand.
As the gauze curtain shook, Li Xuan could see more figures.
"Tell me, what good advice does Master Longhu Mountain have on my condition?" Li Zhi's voice was very indifferent and calm.
Li Xuan leaned over and reported back: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Master has three suggestions: the upper, middle and lower. The best policy is to use elixir to completely resolve the salivation, but the Heavenly Master thinks that this bottle of medicine can only relieve it!"
The so-called phlegm is cerebral thrombosis and cerebral obstruction. Even more than a thousand years later, this is still a medical problem.
Li Zhi nodded slightly. He had seen countless famous doctors over the years, but they had never been able to completely cure his disease.
"The Heavenly Master said that similar magical medicine may be difficult to find in the Tang Dynasty, but the world is so vast that it may not be found in other places."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "The middle strategy, the Heavenly Master mentioned that we need to take some risks and find someone to completely exchange blood with His Majesty; the worst strategy, the risk is the highest, and we need to open the head to take out the saliva."
It was very difficult for Li Xuan to go to Longhu Mountain this time to meet Zhang Tianshi, who had been in seclusion for more than ten years. However, even Zhang Tianshi at Longhu Mountain could not do much about the disease such as wind salivation.
The most thorough craniotomy for cerebral thrombosis, even in modern society, is still a major operation with considerable risks.
More than a thousand years ago, I'm afraid not many people would have thought about it.
"In the eyes of Taoists or doctors, the worst policy is the best policy, just like when Hua Tuo opened Cao Cao's skull, but Cao Cao refused in the end. Instead, Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao. Those people seemed to have learned their lesson." Li Zhi laughed.
"As for the middle policy, although the idea of blood transfusion is new, I have actually heard of it. The best policy is the most stable policy, but it is also the least effective policy for my disease. At most, it is just a delay. , just waiting to die, I understand."
"My dear brother, I will die." Li Xuan lay prone on the ground, her face full of sorrow, and her body couldn't help but twitch.
The disease Li Zhi treated will still be difficult to cure even a thousand years later.
It has been more than ten years since he was diagnosed, and it has been very difficult for him not to get worse.
"Your Majesty, the world is vast, more than what you can see in front of you. We don't have the Tang Dynasty, so we can go to the Black Clothes Dashi to look for it. If the Black Clothes Dashi doesn't exist, then we can go further west to look for it, not to mention the vast and endless world. The sea, not to mention the depths of the distant sea, but the human race may not have searched all the shallow sea bottoms nearby. As long as you are diligent, you can always find useful medicinal materials. Please wait patiently, Your Majesty."
"Patience." Li Zhi suddenly laughed and looked at Li Xuan funny: "Do you think I haven't sent anyone to search? Otherwise, do you think that these years of expeditions to Goguryeo and Japan were for the purpose of What?"
Li Xuan's eyes suddenly widened, and she really couldn't believe the truth she heard.
The most fundamental purpose of the Tang Dynasty's eastern expedition to Goguryeo and even a naval battle with Japan was to find medicine for Li Zhi.
Even thinking further, Li Zhi's father, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, went to conquer the Korean Peninsula for the same reason.
This is also the reason why he personally drives and conquers the country, hoping to quickly find medicine to treat himself while conquering the enemy's country.
Li Zhi was like this, Li Shimin was like this, but what about Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang?
