The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 397 Li Yuan is critically ill
"It's just a name." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "At the foot of the emperor in Chang'an City, there are mostly functional departments of the imperial court. Even if the younger brother builds a mansion, it will be like that, just like Jingzhao Yin Yamen."

"It's different." Li Chongyi said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, you are still young, you have a lot of time to manage your forces, the Xuan family is also a big family in Chang'an, you also have to think about the future problems of your Marquis Mansion, If it is managed properly, it will have a foothold in the deep water of Chang'an."

Li Chongyi's words are correct. In Chang'an City, the rich and powerful families all run their own circles, just like Changsun Wuji wants to win over Li Chengqian. Glory.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, but the younger brother is still young after all, how will the future be, no matter how I manage it, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, it is not a matter of His Majesty's words, the younger brother still intends to do it honestly. The best thing to do is what His Majesty told you."

"That's right, Chongyi. For Xiao Jing, he's too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he'll attract attention instead." Cheng Huailiang said, "You're going to the south next year. Didn't Your Majesty let Xiao Jing go to Xiangzhou to investigate the case? Xiao Jing is in Xiangzhou I'm not familiar with Zhou's place, so I might need your help."

"Don't worry about that. In the past few years, I have laid a good foundation for myself. If I investigate the case, I can help a bunch. Xiaojing is young now, and he is despised by people in the local area." Li Chongyi replied road.

"Little brother, I wish they would look down on me." Xuan Shijing smiled.

Being despised by others is easy to do, but if you take it seriously and be vigilant everywhere, it will be very troublesome to do things yourself.

Several people stayed in Yanlai Tower until the evening, the brothers of the Cheng family lived directly in Yanlai Tower, and Princess Qinghe entered the palace, and she probably wouldn't come back at night, otherwise Cheng Chumo wouldn't be so careless in Yanlai Tower After staying here, Qin Ying has to go back to Lu Guogong's mansion to take care of Qin Qiong who is drunk and lives in Cheng's house, and Chai Lingwu also stayed in Yanlai Building with Li Chongyi, and only Xuan Shijing and Qin Ying left in the end. British.

When they came, everyone was on horseback. When they left, they were drinking too much, so it would be unsafe to ride horses again. Xuan Shijing directly asked the servant from Yanlai Building to drive the carriage, and sent the two of them back to the mansion. .

On the third day of the first day after Yuan Day, everything in Chang'an City quietly returned to an orderly state. Courtiers went to court on time as usual, and the common people also began to live from dawn to dusk.

Although the atmosphere of the New Year has not dissipated, life is still going on. Although the courtiers in the Yuan Dynasty did not take a long bath, they have already piled up a large table for official duties. If they continue to idle, I am afraid they will feel Not used to it.

Xuan Shijing's opening book slipped around in the hands of His Majesty Li Er before he was sent to Menxia Province. Of course, Menxia Province couldn't decide on such a major matter alone. Several prime ministers from the province gathered together to discuss Xuan Shijing's memorial.

Several courtiers were also worried, because His Majesty did not give any instructions on this statement at all, that is to say, they did not know what the purpose of this mansion opened by Xuan Shijing was.

Gao Jifu took Xuan Shijing's brochure, read it carefully for more than three times, and then said: "Your Majesty did not instruct Xuanhou's brochure, so the mansion that Xuanhou opened must be no different from His Majesty's personal guards. It is better to refer to the official rank of the Habayashi Army for the rank and salary of the official position."

Hun Yan shook his head: "The Habayashi army is the permanent guard in the palace, and the foreign ministers are incomparable. There are lessons learned in this palace, why not read it in detail."

"Your Majesty Hun, you mean the Wudedian Literature Museum?"

"Exactly, since His Majesty has given Xuanhou the right to open the mansion, this power is different from the power in the hands of His Royal Highness Wei Wang. In the future, even if His Majesty asks about it, there is evidence to refer to the Wude Palace Literature Museum." ’” Hun Yan said.

"Master Hun is very right. If this is the case, we can refer to the Wude Palace Literature Museum for the matter of rank and salary. I will immediately draft a memorial. When Eunuch Deyi comes to deliver the paper, he said that His Majesty is very concerned about this matter. We need to settle it as soon as possible without delay.”

"Since that's the case, there will be Mr. Lao Gao." Hun Yu said, clasping his hands.

"This is Jifu's duty, Mr. Hun is serious." Gao Jifu responded with his hands clasped.

The other officials in the two provinces couldn't think of a better solution, so they could only settle it according to what the two said. This matter was originally His Majesty's will and it was not in accordance with the law. Will not refute anything.

Gao Jifu went back to his desk and quickly wrote the notebook, before the ink was dry, someone handed the notebook up.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er was in the Cuihua Palace of Da'an Palace. In the early morning of the third day, the eunuchs of Da'an Palace came to report that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was seriously ill, and the imperial physician was helpless.

Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er, who had just woken up, hurriedly had someone serve him to wash up, and together with Empress Changsun, he took people to Da'an Palace.

"Father." His Majesty Li Er sat beside Li Yuan's bed, watched Li Yuan lying unconscious on the bed, and called several times in a row, but did not get a response.

Empress Changsun brought the imperial physicians to the outer hall, and her pair of phoenix eyes flowed over several imperial physicians.

"Is the Supreme Emperor's condition really beyond recovery?" Empress Changsun asked in a low voice.

"Back to the queen, the ministers are really helpless. The emperor's health has been up and down in recent years. A few years ago, his condition was particularly serious. It was all dependent on rare medicinal materials. Now, no matter how precious medicinal materials are, they may not be of any help. ’” said the imperial physician, clasping his hands.

Hearing this, Empress Changsun sighed and walked towards the inner hall.

His Majesty Li Er has been guarding Li Yuan's bedside, looking at Li Yuan's pale complexion, his expression is very dignified, and he doesn't know what is going on in his heart.

The imperial physician entered the inner hall with Empress Changsun, and waited respectfully aside. Now that the body of the Supreme Emperor, in this Da'an Palace, the imperial physician is indispensable.

The atmosphere in the hall was very dignified. The eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground. They were all kneeling there when His Majesty Li Er came down. His Majesty Li Er didn't speak, and they didn't dare to get up.

Empress Changsun looked around the hall, saw the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, and waved them all to stand up and retreat. Now that the Supreme Emperor is already like this, it is useless for so many people to stand here.

After a while, Li Yuan woke up slowly, and saw his son in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting beside his bed, his hands were trembling and he wanted to lift them up. .
