Chapter 714 Li Ke's Worries
Since Li Shimin returned to the palace, the Taiji Hall has been more lively these days than before. Not only is there a lot of business in Beijing and China, and the ministers are coming and going to report things, there is also an important reason that Li Shimin is summoning Taoist priests from all over the world. .

Li Shimin summoned Taoist priests from all walks of life. Although the matter was done in a low-key manner, how could he hide it from Li Ke, who had many eyeliners in the palace? news.

It is not surprising to Li Shimin that Li Shimin wants to live a long life. After all, the emperor is in charge of the world. Since ancient times, whether it is for ambition or pleasure, the emperors always want to live longer and have the idea of ​​longevity. But Li Shimin suddenly moved to take the pill, and Li Ke was a little surprised for a while.

However, when Li Ke heard the news, he quickly figured out the reason. At the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, Li Shimin asked Sun Simiao on the spot if he had any medicine for longevity after learning about Sun Simiao's life expectancy. At that time, Li Shimin started to ask for medicine.

At night, the East Palace and the side garden of Yichun Palace.

Since the 11th year of Zhenguan, when Wu Meiniang was pregnant with her second son, she let Wu Shun enter the East Palace to serve Li Ke, and this was the beginning. Although she didn't have a formal title, Wu Shun could be regarded as Prince Li Ke's man.

Since he belonged to Li Ke, he naturally wouldn't marry anyone else, and no one dared to marry anyone else. After Li Ke and Wu Shun got to know each other well, Wu Shun simply became a frequent visitor to the Eastern Palace. Ten and a half days later Every month, I will come to the East Palace.

Li Ke didn't have many wives and concubines, and there were too many buildings and courtyards in the East Palace. The place where Li Ke placed Wushun was the Yichun Palace in the inner palace. Whenever Wushun came to the palace, he would definitely spend the night here. The people in the palace also know it.

In the inner room of the side garden of the Yichun Palace, Li Ke was half lying on the spacious bed, leaning on the brocade cushion at the head of the bed, holding a scroll in his hand and watching intently, while Wu Shun leaned against Li Ke, leaning sideways. Holding Li Ke's shoulders, a pair of jade hands slowly pressed the back of Li Ke's neck.

"What is the prince looking at? I've been reading it for more than half an hour." Ever since Li Ke finished washing and went to bed, he picked up the book in his hand. It took a long time to read it, but it was the same as before. Quite different, Wu Shun bit his lower lip lightly, and asked Li Ke curiously and jealously.

Li Ke's performance today is indeed very different from the past. It is already a bit late now, and Wushun does not always come to the East Palace, so Li Ke used to treat Wushun very "lively". Going to bed at night, Li Ke was going to rest early, but today he held this book in his hand and read it for a long time, Wu Shun was inevitably curious.

It would be fine if Li Ke only read it for a moment, but he has already read the book for more than half an hour. From Wu Shun's point of view, Li Ke's side is a pretty beauty. Could it be that he doesn't have a book yet? It doesn't look good.

Li Ke listened to Wu Shun's words, and then he noticed Shi Chen, and realized that he was really an abrupt beauty.

Li Ke said: "I just wanted to take a look at it, but I didn't expect to look at it for so long. It really shouldn't be."

Wu Shun asked in confusion: "What kind of book is your Highness reading? I just read some, but I can't understand it."

Li Ke smiled, put the book in his hand aside, and said to Wu Shun: "This is a Taoist classic, it's very obscure, it's not surprising that you can't understand it."

Hearing this, Wu Shun covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Well done, why did the prince suddenly see this? Could it be that the prince wants to practice Taoism and become an immortal instead of being a prince?"

Li Ke shook his head, stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Shun, who was on one side, into his arms, pecked lightly between his forehead, and said: "I have too many roots in the palace, I can't stand the hardships of Taoism, so I should go and cultivate it properly." What a fairy, it is others who are thinking about this matter."

Wu Shun heard Li Ke's words, suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Ke: "The prince is talking about your majesty."

Li Ke nodded and asked, "What? You also know about this?"

Wu Shun said: "The concubine also heard about it when chatting with other housewives. I didn't really believe it at first, but judging from what the prince said tonight, I'm afraid it might be true."

Li Ke sighed and said: "That's right, there is indeed such a thing. I didn't want to be famous as my father's first generation, but I also became addicted to this way in the end."

Wu Shun then asked Li Ke: "Your Majesty is obsessed with the way of longevity, and why is the prince studying Taoist classics?"

Li Ke replied: "Use the other's spear to attack the other's shield. I am planning to go to the palace tomorrow to persuade my father to see if there is any good argument."

Hearing this, Wu Shun asked in surprise, "Does the prince want to advise His Majesty on this matter?"

Li Ke said: "That's natural. The medicine and stone prolonging life are nothing more than Xuan's theory, so you can't believe it. The elixir cultivated in the pill furnace is not good for longevity, but it hinders health. As the prince, I should advise it."

Wu Shun took Li Ke's wrist and hurriedly said: "I think anyone can persuade His Majesty, but the crown prince can't."

"Why is that?" Li Ke asked.

Wu Shun said: "Your Majesty asks for pills and medicines for the sake of longevity. If the Crown Prince and the courtiers dissuade His Majesty, in His Majesty's opinion, it is to prevent His Majesty from finding the way to longevity. Your Majesty is the monarch, and the Crown Prince is the state reserve. If the Crown Prince does this, Your Majesty What do you think?"

Li Ke said: "Father has always been open-minded, so it shouldn't be like this."

Wu Shun said: "Don't be afraid of others, I'm afraid that someone will instigate it. If your majesty listens to the words of the villain and thinks that the prince is seeking the throne and ascends the throne as soon as possible, so you don't want your majesty to live longer, then the prince will be in danger."

Although Li Shimin is sometimes a little stubborn, but most of the time he can still listen to the words of others, especially the words of his beloved son Li Ke.But this does not mean that Li Shimin will trust and obey Li Ke without reservation.

What Wu Shun said is true. Li Shimin is the emperor. He asked for pills and medicines to live longer. Li Ke is the prince. After Li Shimin passed away, he will be the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the longer the wait.

If Li Shimin was given the illusion that Li Ke prevented Li Shimin from taking the medicine to ascend the throne as soon as possible under the instigation of someone with a heart, then Li Ke would not be able to cleanse himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

Li Ke frowned slightly, and said: "You're right, if it's according to what you said, I can't get involved in this matter."

Wu Shun saw that Li Ke seemed to have listened to his words, so he continued to say to Li Ke: "I belong to the prince, and my heart is tied to the prince. I only hope that the prince will be good. If the concubine says something that may be treasonous, you can't do it." Please don't blame the prince."

Wu Shun, including the entire Wu family, is tied to Li Ke's fortunes and fortunes. Wu Shun is also Li Ke's woman, so her words are naturally true, and Li Ke is sure of this.

Li Ke said: "You are facing Bengong, and Bengong knows it, so you just say it."

With Li Ke's words, Wu Shun said: "Your Majesty takes the medicine, and it will be no problem for the Crown Prince, so why should the Crown Prince persuade him? It would be best if His Majesty is safe and sound, but if there is an emergency, the Crown Prince will succeed to the throne. The result is not too bad. The crown prince must not take too much control of this matter, endangering the reserve."
