Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 77 Chapter 79: Queen's Funeral Day
Li Shimin impatiently waved everyone to flatten, and then asked the old imperial doctor: "Hang imperial doctor, how is the Queen's condition?"

Doctor Hang bowed tremblingly and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, and His Majesty has been disappointed."

Li Shimin really wanted to scold him, but he held back, and he could see that these imperial doctors were also assigned to treat minor illnesses such as headaches and brain fever. Whenever they encountered a life-threatening illness, they would just shake their heads. .

At this time, Li Tai suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Li Hao, and asked Li Shimin: "Father, why did this person come to the queen mother's bedroom?" There was a hint of anger on his face.

Li Shimin didn't notice Li Tai's dissatisfaction with Li Hao, and said indifferently: "Father brought them here to see your mother's doctor."

Li Hao hurriedly saluted the three princes: "Li Hao, a man from Lantian County, pays his respects to the three His Highnesses."

Facing Li Hao's salute, Li Chengqian nodded, Li Tai snorted coldly, turned his face away, very disdainful, but Li Zhi said seriously: "Mr. Li, please save my mother."

Seeing the future Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, Li Hao was still a little excited, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, don't worry, I will do my best." It's not that Li Shimin has strict orders, he probably ran away early, alas, I suddenly miss the warm bed at home.

Li Shimin urged from the side: "Don't talk anymore, hurry up and see a doctor for the queen."

"Yes." Li Hao replied, and walked slowly to Empress Changsun's bed. There was a silk gauze curtain hanging on the bed, and he could only vaguely see a person lying on the bed.

As soon as he sat down on the brocade pier, Gong'e who was guarding the bed took Empress Changsun's right hand out of the gauze curtain, and put three layers of silk scarves on his wrist.

When Li Hao saw this, his eyebrows twitched wildly: "Are you kidding me? My pulse diagnosis is only a half-baked level. You guys even put cloth on it, and you even put three layers on it!"

Li Hao looked back at Li Shimin, and really wanted to ask him if he could leave the silk cloth on, but before he could open his mouth, Li Shimin stared and scolded: "Look at what I'm doing, take a pulse!"

Come on, don't think about it, Li Hao can only grit his teeth, stretch out his right hand, and use all four fingers to check the pulse of Empress Changsun. The doctor Hang beside him couldn't help slandering: "This Li Hao actually used four fingers to check the pulse. Looks like a layman..."

Li Hao closed his eyes and examined for a long time, finally withdrew his hand and asked Gong'e to put the queen's arm back under the bed, then got up, Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "How?"

"Eh..." Li Hao frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, the Queen's condition is very serious, and her body is already extremely weak. Please forgive my frank words, I am not sure that I can cure his illness. I can prescribe some medicine for the time being and delay it for a few days."

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Then let's delay for a while, come and serve me with pen and ink!"

The queen's regular eunuch hurriedly fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a prescription for Li Hao.

Li Hao held the pen for a while, and the prescription was written, which was exactly the same as the one he gave last time. There was no way, he only knew this one prescription.

When Li Shimin saw the prescription, he immediately recognized it as the previous prescription, but he didn't point it out. After all, he had never used this prescription before. At the same time, he also guessed it. It seems that Li Hao already knew about changing the prescription. Well, Li Hao didn't mention it, it was out of consideration for his emperor's face, how could he be a fool, but he was still worried, and couldn't help asking: "This prescription...does it work?"

Li Hao nodded: "This prescription has a miraculous effect on treating Qi diseases, and it can last for a while."

Without further ado, Li Shimin handed the prescription to the eunuch: "Go, make the medicine according to the prescription! Quick!"

"Yes!" The eunuch held the prescription in his arms and ran out like flying.

The Imperial Physician Hang on the side kept frowning and pondering. He seemed to think that this prescription was very familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered that this is the prescription that Li Shimin asked them to study last time. Why did Li Hao offer this prescription again this time? Yes, after thinking up to this point, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this prescription is not appropriate..."

Li Shimin turned his head to look at him, his eyes widened, and he burst out with prestige: "Oh, then you can give me a proper prescription. If you can't give it, I will chop off your head, how about it!"

Physician Hang hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "The old minister is incompetent."

"Get out!" Li Shimin is now upset when he sees these people from the Tai Hospital. After all, it was the prescription that was appraised by the Tai Hospital. The Empress Changsun will have today, and the Tai Hospital has a very big responsibility.

Physician Hang hurriedly got up and left the Lizheng Hall with trembling legs.

After waiting for a long time, the medicine was finally ready, and Li Shimin fed the medicine to Empress Changsun himself, Empress Changsun rarely woke up, she was extremely weak, when she saw Li Shimin, she managed to smile and said, "Your Majesty, did the concubine sleep for a long time again? "

Li Shimin waved his hands away from the crowd, then squeezed out a smile, and said: "I haven't slept for long, only two hours. You are weak now, so you need to rest more. When you recover, I will take you to see your favorite lotus flower." .”

Empress Changsun smiled wryly: "It's autumn now, so there are no lotus flowers."

Li Shimin showed a rogue face, and said with a smile: "I am the Son of Heaven. If I say there are lotus flowers in autumn, then there must be lotus flowers."

Empress Changsun smiled cooperatively, looked at the medicine bowl in his hand and said, "Is it time to drink medicine?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's right, this time it's not the medicine from the Tai Hospital, but the medicine prescribed by Li Hao."

Empress Changsun asked in surprise, "Li Hao still has a prescription?"

Li Shimin was suddenly saddened, he counted his nose, his eyes were red, tears were rolling, he raised his head to force back the tears, and said in a deep voice: "Guanyin maidservant, it's all my fault, it's me who hurt you."

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Empress Changsun looked at him puzzled.

Li Shimin endured his grief and told her about changing the prescription.

"This is destiny." Empress Changsun sighed leisurely after hearing this, "Your Majesty, my concubine begs you, if my concubine really can't survive this catastrophe, don't make things difficult for the hospital, let alone Li Hao."

Li Shimin didn't answer. To be honest, he didn't even dare to imagine how he would feel if Empress Changsun died. Could his reason control his emotions at that time?
Empress Changsun continued: "Your Majesty, Li Hao has great talent and is still young. There is a shortage of such people in the court. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Chengqian."

Li Shimin was deeply moved when he heard the words. This is a generation of holy queens. Even at this point, she is still worried about the future of the country. What she said is exactly what she thinks in her heart. He is old, and the younger generation is full of frivolous and frivolous dudes. They are really young and old. How long will such a prosperous Tang Dynasty last? Li Hao is undoubtedly a fresh blood of the Tang Dynasty. Maybe he can make future generations Datang continues to maintain its vitality.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, then nodded vigorously: "I promise you, as long as Li Hao does not commit the crime of treason, I will never take his life."

Li Hao and the others were waiting outside the bedroom, Li Zhi, the young lady, ran up to Li Hao and asked, "Mr. Li, can your prescription cure my mother?"

Li Hao smiled indifferently, and replied: "His Royal Highness, as I said just now, the medicine I prescribed can only be delayed for a while. After all, the queen is terminally ill, and it is impossible to cure her."

Li Zhi felt sad when he heard this, his big eyes immediately became wet.

Li Tai at the side glanced sideways, and snorted coldly, "Quack doctor!"

Li Hao endured it, he didn't have the guts to talk back to the prince in the palace, so he could only follow his words and said, "The king of Wei is right, the minister's medical skills are indeed limited."

Li Tai didn't expect that Li Hao, like Mian Mian, was not as tough as last time. He was very upset, and stared at him, "Tell you, if my queen's mother can't be cured, I will only ask you!"

Li Hao didn't dare to answer these words, objecting was offending the royal family, agreeing was courting death, no matter what.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, had a sense of justice, and said: "Brother Taihuang, Li Hao is not responsible for the mother's illness, why should Li Hao be blamed?"

Li Taidao: "Young slave, what do you know? If he can't cure his mother's illness, he should die!"

Li Zhi said anxiously: "The imperial physicians are so powerful, they can't cure the queen mother's illness!"

Li Tai thought for a while, and said: "Before, Li Hao gave a prescription to his father, threatening that the prescription could cure his mother's illness, but now her mother's illness is not only not cured, but it has worsened. Don't deserve to die!"

Now Li Zhi had nothing to say, he turned his head and asked Li Hao: "Li Hao, is this really the case?"

Li Hao squeezed out a wry smile, and said: "Your Majesty knows this matter best. Your Highness might as well ask your father."

"Well, the childish slave will ask Father the Emperor." Li Zhi nodded seriously, looking cute and lovable.

Li Hao's prescription was still effective, and the critically ill Empress Changsun managed to stay alive. However, she had already run out of oil and could only procrastinate for a while. On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Empress Changsun died, and the whole country mourned.

Empress Changsun still died in the tenth year of Zhenguan. Although there is a bit of a discrepancy with history, at least it did not exceed the tenth year of Zhenguan. Li Hao suddenly realized that the inertia of history is too strong. It is as strong as a huge train with rolling wheels. Before, he couldn't change it at all, at least not now, maybe because his current strength was still too small.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the queen's funeral is held and the country mourns. The whole country is not allowed to drink and enjoy themselves for the next month. New Year's Day (Spring Festival) is destined to be delayed.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Wei Wang Li Tai asked to see Li Shimin in Liangyi Hall, and made a generous speech, impeaching Li Hao for giving medicine twice to entrap his mother, and he should be sentenced to death.

Li Shimin is in a bad mood at the moment, so bad that everyone is upset, like a hedgehog, he will stab anyone who touches him, except of course his own son.Although he knew in his heart that the death of Empress Changsun had nothing to do with Li Hao. Hao is upset, he is in a bad mood now, he just wants to vent, he just wants to be willful for a while, even if only for once.

Of course, he would not kill Li Hao as King Wei thought. After all, he was not a fool, he just wanted to beat Li Hao, and this time the beating had to be harder.

Therefore, an imperial decree was sent from Taiji Palace to Li Hao's house, seized Li Hao's title of baron in Lantian County, and took him to the prison of Dali Temple.
