In the East Palace, Prince Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace three days ago. At this time, sitting opposite Li Jiancheng was Li Xiuning. Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin was accompanying him. Li Jiancheng held a silk handkerchief and coughed a few times. At this time, Li Jiancheng's face was still flushed, and even It can be said that there is no trace of blood, and even the lips look a little pale.
"Your Highness, drink the medicine first!" Zheng Guanyin brought the medicine aside and brought it to Li Jiancheng.
"Hey!" Li Jiancheng put down the brocade handkerchief helplessly, picked up the soup and drank it all in one gulp. It seemed that the soup tasted like a bowl of water. Li Jiancheng showed no displeasure because of the bitterness of the soup.
"I don't know when it will end!" Li Jiancheng put down the bowl of soup and medicine, took a bowl of water from Zheng Guanyin, and rinsed his mouth.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Xiuning's expression also darkened, and a pair of eyes that should have been bright seemed to dim a lot. Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Jiancheng with tears in her eyes and a look of distress on her face.
"Why are you two looking like this? Doctor Sun has said that there are still at least three or four years left!" Li Jiancheng saw the expressions of his sister and his beloved concubine, and wanted to comfort these two women with words, but Li Jiancheng was so As soon as the words were spoken, tears suddenly fell from both Li Xiuning and Zheng Guanyin's eyes.
"Oh, what are you doing!" When Li Jiancheng saw the two women crying, he immediately became a little hurried, "It's so worth it to use this broken body to clear the obstacles in the Tang Dynasty! You have to be happy! "
"But Mr. Lu said that if you do this, you will not leave your name in history!" When Li Xiuning heard Li Jiancheng's words, he immediately remembered what Lu Chen said to her in a secret conversation.
Since ancient times, history books have been written by the victors, but how will Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji be written about in the history books? It will inevitably exalt Li Shimin and belittle Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Even if Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji went to the point of ruining their families for the sake of the Li family, people who read history books in future generations may not know their painstaking efforts and will only regard them as losers who failed to seize the right to inherit the throne. That’s all.
"So what? As long as the Li family can be preserved, what's the use of leaving a name in history?" Li Jiancheng said very freely.
"By the way, sister, didn't you say Mr. Lu could save me?" Li Jiancheng suddenly remembered why Li Xiuning came to him today.
"Yes!" After Li Jiancheng reminded him, Li Xiuning also remembered that he came here today just to take his brother to find Lu Chen! It was completely affected by the emotions of his sister-in-law Zheng Guanyin just now, coupled with Li Jiancheng's performance just now, and he couldn't help but feel sad that he behaved like this.
"Brother, do you want to meet Lord Lu in the next few days?" Li Jiancheng already knew about Lu Chen's ennoblement, and Li Jiancheng was also very concerned about visiting Lu Chen, but Li Jiancheng wanted to find the right time to meet him. It's just Lu Chen. Li Xiuning happened to come over today to invite Li Jiancheng.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. How about tomorrow?" Li Xiuning can be a bit impatient sometimes, especially since this is related to Li Jiancheng's life. How could Li Xiuning not be anxious!
"Then let's go to Lord Lu in the name of peace? But the prince has to have a name to leave the palace!" After all, Li Jiancheng is different from Li Xiuning and Li Shimin. Regardless of Li Xiuning or Li Shimin, one lives in the Princess Mansion and the other lives in Tiance Mansion. , are all outside the palace, and it is up to them to go in and out. As long as the two siblings are not too far out of the city, there is no need to report to Li Yuan.
In comparison, Li Jiancheng would not be so free. After all, he was the prince of the East Palace and the crown prince of a country. Unless Li Yuan agreed or issued an order, he could not leave the palace. This is why Li Jiancheng's prestige in the military is not as good as that of Li Shimin. One of the important reasons was that Li Jiancheng was within the capital and within the palace, too far away from the army.
"Tomorrow I will send five hundred kilograms of iron material to Mr. Lu. Brother, you can go there in the name of inspecting the use of the iron material!" Li Xiuning's eyes lit up. She remembered that Lu Chen asked her for five hundred kilograms of iron material, so she asked Li Jiancheng Just use this reason to leave the palace.
"Why does Mr. Lu need so much iron?" Hearing that Lu Chen actually asked Li Xiuning for five hundred kilograms of iron, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but look at Li Xiuning in surprise.
"I don't know! But Mr. Lu has many magical methods. I'm afraid he needs so much iron to build something!" Li Xiuning guessed.
"Such a lot of iron material makes Brother Wei very curious. I wonder if he really wants to go this way! Brother Wei also wants to meet this strange man!" Li Jiancheng coughed twice and said with a smile.
"By the way, brother, I have something else I want to discuss with you!" When Li Xiuning thought about the last time she proposed marriage to Lu Chen, Lu Chen's nervous look was funny, and she suddenly smiled. Look at Li Jiancheng.
"Oh? It's rare that my third sister actually wants to discuss something with her brother! What's the matter? Tell me!" The famous third princess of the Li family, who has always been vigorous and resolute, actually wants to discuss something with me. How could she not let him go? Li Jiancheng was surprised, so Li Jiancheng was very interested in what Li Xiuning said he wanted to discuss.
"Sister-in-law doesn't need to avoid it! I'm afraid I need my sister-in-law to help me with this matter!" Li Xiuning saw Zheng Guanyin getting up after putting away the soup and medicine bowls at a glance. Apparently, when the princess heard that Li Xiuning and Li Jiancheng were discussing something, she consciously Be prepared to avoid.
"What ideas can I, a woman, come up with? This girl is actually joking!" Zheng Guanyin smiled and sat down next to Li Jiancheng again.
"Brother, what I want to say is a major event that affects Mr. Lu's life!" Li Xiuning blinked at Li Jiancheng.
Seeing Li Xiuning's expression, how could Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin not know what Li Xiuning was talking about.
"Girl, do you have any good candidates?" Li Jiancheng asked with a smile.
"Brother, what do you think of Langya?" Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Langya?" When Li Shimin heard the name mentioned by Li Xiuning, a pretty figure immediately appeared in his mind. Princess Langya was the "Princess Gaomi" later. At this time, the title of Princess Gaomi had not yet been changed, but Princess Langya was named Princess Langya by Li Yuan.
This Princess Langya was well-known for being virtuous and filial. Even a hundred years later, she wanted to place her grave in the direction of her father Li Yuan's mausoleum.
"Langya is good, but I don't know if our Lord Lu can agree to it?" Li Shimin agreed very much with Li Xiuning's proposal. If Lu Chen can really have such an additional relationship with the Li family, what will happen to the Li family? There will only be advantages and no disadvantages in the future.
"We are just discussing this choice of person, but doesn't it have to be Aye's decision whether we agree or not? Speaking of which, Yan Jun has reached the age of getting married, so I will leave this matter to my brother!" Li Shimin directly said This matter was taken care of. After all, it was more appropriate for him, the prince, to tell the emperor about this matter than Li Xiuning.
"My beloved concubine, what do you think of this matter?" Li Jiancheng did not forget to ask Zheng Guanyin for his opinion.
"This is very good. My sister has reached the age of marriage. If she can be betrothed to Mr. Lu, she will be considered a good match. It will be a good thing for the country, the family and the sister!" Zheng Guanyin said with a smile.
"In that case, it's not too late to discuss the matter with Aye now. If it can be done, we will do it together tomorrow!" Li Jiancheng stood up and walked to the Tai Chi Hall. At this time, Li Yuan should still be in Tai Chi. I'm reading memorials in the warm pavilion of the palace.
As soon as Li Jiancheng walked out of the East Palace door, he saw Wang Gui rushing towards the East Palace.
Li Jiancheng had naturally heard about Lu Chen's run against Wang Gui in the Taiji Hall. Although he seemed to be siding with the family on the surface and scolded Lu Chen a few words, he just said it and let it go. At this time, Wang Gui Gui walked toward him in a hurry, and Li Jiancheng couldn't avoid him.
"Your Majesty Wang Gui, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing Li Jiancheng, Wang Gui hurriedly saluted Li Jiancheng.
"Wang Zhongyun is exempt from courtesy. Wang Zhongyun is in such a hurry, but he comes to see me for something?" Li Jiancheng looked at Wang Gui and asked indifferently.
"My nephew, Wang Biao, the eunuch of the imperial palace who serves as the eunuch in the palace, is here!" Wang Gui was not polite and directly stated the purpose of his trip.
"Oh? How is Wang Biao?" Li Jiancheng also knew that Wang Biao was taken care of by Lu Chen. Li Jiancheng didn't ask Wang Gui, but turned to ask the chamberlain beside him.
"Wang Biao's legs have been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Department, and they are now being recuperated!" When the chamberlain heard Li Jiancheng asking him, he quickly bowed and responded. This was what the chamberlain said. In fact, Wang Biao will basically spend the rest of his life. He couldn't go to the ground and could only live in bed. If it weren't for Wang Biao being a member of the Wang family, he would have been thrown out of the inner chamber long ago. But now he has been taken back home by the Wang family. After all, it is impossible to raise him in the palace. Such a paralyzed player.
"Oh! Just go back and choose some tonics to give to Wang Biao!" Li Jiancheng said casually as he didn't care about Wang Biao's life and death. He was just a small character.
"Your Highness, that Lu Chen is arrogant and domineering, and his behavior is no different than taking human lives at a loss!" Wang Gui said this a bit harshly. Once the words "taking human lives at risk" are confirmed to Lu Chen, then Lu Chen will either be dismissed from the rank and exiled, or else It's just beheading.
"Wang Zhongyun's words are a bit harsh! After all, Lu Chen is also the Marquis of Chang'an County. Such a statement is a bit too harsh!" How could Li Jiancheng not understand the meaning of Wang Gui's words? His face suddenly darkened, "Moreover, My father also said that he would issue an edict to reprimand Mr. Lu, but is it possible that Wang Zhongyun is still so recalcitrant?"
"But I haven't heard that your Majesty has issued any decree so far!" Wang Gui said sourly.
"In this case, Gu Zheng wants to see his father. How about Wang Zhongyun accompanying Gu to ask for an audience?" Li Jiancheng saw that Wang Gui was a little restless and moved Li Yuan out directly.
