Chapter 452

Li Shimin came to the throne at the end of the ninth year of Wude, and has been in power for more than eight years. Since Li Yuan abdicated, he has lived in the Da'an Palace and indulged in drinking and sex every day for many years.

Although Li Yuan is the emperor and the emperor, his power in the court is no longer what it used to be. Li Yuan said he wanted to help Li Ke, but Li Ke never took it to heart.

Because the Supreme Emperor was seriously ill, Li Shimin had no intention of governing for several days, and stayed in Da'an Palace to take care of Li Yuan most of the time. Because of Li Shimin's constant presence, the originally deserted Da'an Palace was much more lively than before. , Honorable and important ministers went to visit one after another.

As the end of the new year approaches, princes and county kings from all over the country have returned to Beijing one after another, and more and more people visit Da'an Palace every day.

Li Ke's father-in-law, warrior Xun, governor of Jingzhou, also because he is an old minister of the emperor, and Li Ke has face, so he got a special decree to return to Beijing in advance. In mid-December, warrior Xun returned to Beijing from Jingzhou to visit Li Yuan. up.And Li Ke married a Wu family daughter as his wife, and when his father-in-law returned to Beijing, Li Ke should pay a visit.

Chang'an, Fenglefang, Duke Ying's Wufu.

"My son-in-law, Li Ke, pays homage to my father-in-law." The day after Warrior Xun returned to Beijing, Li Ke and his wife, Wu Meiniang, came to pay respects to Warrior Xun.

Although Li Ke is a prince, he is very respectful to the warrior Xun, but the warrior Xun did not dare to neglect Li Ke, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Ke and Wu Meiniang, and said: "Your Highness and the princess have beaten the old ministers, hurry up!" Please get up."

Li Ke and Wu Meiniang stood up as they said, and looked up at the warrior Xun. Li Ke and Wu Meiniang took a look at the warrior Xun, and their faces were full of surprise.

Although Samurai Xun belongs to the military officials, because of the rare war disasters in Jingzhou, Warrior Xun, the governor of Jingzhou, is quite comfortable, especially since Mei Niang and Li Ke got married, Warrior Xun has no worries about the future, he is generous and fat, It was wider and fatter than before.

In Li Ke's impression, although Samurai Xun does not need to be as potbellied as Changsun Wuji, he still looks plump. The bones are clearly visible.

Wu Meiniang looked at the warrior Xun, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Daddy? Why have you lost so much weight, but you're not feeling well?"

The warrior Xun smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm afraid it's because I've been worried about the emperor's health recently, and I've been on the road these days. I'm tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Li Yuan is not only the old master who has been kind to Samurai Xun, but also has decades of friendship between Samurai Xun and Li Yuan. Ever since Samurai Xun learned of Li Yuan's serious illness in Jingzhou, he has been worried, sleepless and restless. It is strange to be thin.

Samurai Xun's body, Samurai Xun himself may think it is not a serious problem, but Li Ke sees that Samurai Xun is much thinner, and there is a little more worry in his heart.

If Li Ke's memory is correct, it is recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty that after Li Yuan's death, the samurai Xun became ill with grief and died of excessive grief. He died as the governor of Jingzhou.Now that Li Yuan is critically ill, and the warrior Xun looks like this, how can Li Ke not worry.

Li Ke said to the warrior: "Grandfather's safety is of course the most important thing, but it's not something that can be achieved by being anxious. The father-in-law still needs to take care of his own body. It's not a way for the father-in-law to lose weight in just half a month. Why don't my son-in-law send a note to the Imperial Medical Office and invite the imperial physician to treat my father-in-law?"

Although the imperial medical office is only in the palace, but Li Ke is the prince, and the samurai Xun is also the prince of the state, an important minister in the court. As long as Li Ke writes a note, it is no problem to use the imperial medical office.

Wu Meiniang at the side heard the words, and persuaded: "Father, what San Lang said is that Father is not a doctor, and it is useless to be anxious. Father should take care of his own body."

Hearing this, the samurai Xun shook his head and said, "No, the Imperial Medical Office is busy with the emperor's business, how can I invite them into the palace at this time, and distract them."

What the warrior Xun said was naturally concerned about Li Yuan, but Li Ke said: "My father-in-law is too worried, my grandfather has his own genius doctor Sun Simiao to take care of him, and ordinary imperial doctors are not close to him."

Since Li Yuan became seriously ill, Li Shimin ordered someone to invite Sun Simiao to Beijing. Sun Simiao had been in the Da'an Palace for a few days. When it came to medical skills, even the imperial physicians in the palace could not compare with Sun Simiao, so what Li Ke said was true. True.

Li Ke also had good intentions. Since Li Ke insisted, it was inconvenient for the samurai Xun to refuse. He cupped his hands and said: "If that's the case, I will thank Your Highness for your kindness. The old minister thanked His Highness for your kindness."

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's just a matter of one sentence, my father-in-law should take care of himself."

--------------

Li Ke and Wu Meiniang stayed in Duke Ying's Wufu for a while, and after telling the warrior Xun to rest well, they got up and went back to Chuwangfu.

"Seeing that Meiniang is depressed, are you still worried about your father-in-law's health?" On the carriage back to Chu Palace, Li Ke asked Wu Meiniang, looking at Wu Meiniang's frowning.

Wu Meiniang said: "My father and grandfather have known each other for dozens of years. They are also monarchs, ministers, and good friends. This time, my grandfather is seriously ill, and my father has already lost so much weight. To be honest, if something happens to my grandfather, Meiniang is worried that my father will not be able to survive. .”

Li Ke was naturally aware of Wu Meiniang's worries. The warrior Xun was old, nearly sixty years old, and his health was not good at all.

Looking at the current appearance of the warrior Xun, if Li Yuan really went, whether the warrior Xun could survive the current test is indeed a question.

Li Ke said: "My father-in-law's body is weak and worse than before. It's not a way to go on in the long run. It's better to take care of him."

Wu Meiniang held Li Ke's arm, looked up at Li Ke, and asked, "What can Sanlang do?"

Li Ke thought for a while and said: "My father-in-law is an official in Jingzhou, and he has to travel back and forth. Naturally, this will not work. Besides, Jingzhou is humid and hot, and the doctor's medical skills are not as good as Chang'an. It is really not a good place for health. In my opinion, if my father-in-law If you want to maintain a healthy body, it is better to resign from Jingzhou and return to Chang'an."

Wu Meiniang's face was a little moved when she heard the words, obviously Li Ke's words also entered her heart, now that the brothers of the Wu family are serving as officials in Chang'an, Wu Shun and Wu Meiniang are also in Chang'an, and the warrior Xun is in Chang'an, at least there are still people If you can take care of it, if you go back to Jingzhou, there will be no one around you.

Wu Meiniang said: "Sanlang's words are very true. With Dad's current situation, it is indeed not suitable to leave Beijing to become an official. It's just that Dad has a bit of a temper, so he may not be able to listen to what he said, so he resigned and stayed in Beijing."

Li Ke grabbed Meiniang's hand, rubbed it lightly in his palm, and said to Wu Meiniang: "It's no problem, I will go to the palace tomorrow, and I will ask my father-in-law to decree that my father-in-law should be transferred to a special promotion and take a idle job. He was honored and raised in Chang'an."

Wu Meiniang listened to Li Ke's words, and her heart overflowed with warmth.

The Wu family was born in a merchant family, so it can't be considered a famous family. Compared with other princes and concubines, the Wu family's family is really weak, and it can't help Li Ke much.

The brothers of the Wu family were mediocre and incompetent. Originally, the only one who could get their hands on was the warrior Xun, the governor of Jingzhou. If the warrior Xun resigned, then the Wu family would be able to help Li Ke in the court and the field.

But Li Ke obviously didn't care about this. For the safety of the warrior Xun, Li Ke strongly urged the warrior Xun to resign. Naturally, he put Wu Meiniang and the Wu family in his heart.
