A solar eclipse has always been regarded as a bad omen, and it is also regarded as a moral failure of the court. No matter which one it is, it is not a trivial matter.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, there will be a solar eclipse almost every two or three years, or comets come and go, the frequency is too frequent.

In March of this year, the comet appeared again near Bi and Pleiades, and it was considered a disaster of weapons.

But when did Datang not fight?In addition, the comet appeared at night and not many people saw it, so it did not cause much disturbance.

The solar eclipse is not good, this thing is too conspicuous, and the influence is too great.

Many groups whose interests were harmed in the reform, such as the gentry, began to move around.

Yan officials have prepared memorials one after another, preparing to persuade the emperor to be diligent in government and love the people, which are all old ways anyway.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, few people would dare to say that the emperor lost his morals against his conscience.

Of course, the main reason for not daring to criticize the emperor is that the emperor is too strong, and no one dares to offend him easily.

Another reason is that everyone just advocated him to catch up with the ancient holy emperor, and now if he is said to be unvirtuous, it will be a slap in the face.

The best way is to be calm and calm, and say a few words about diligence and love for the people.

It seems like an accusation, but after careful consideration, the intensity is not serious.

The generals of the guards were more pragmatic. They didn't need the emperor's order at all, and they had already rushed back to the barracks to sit in charge.

The important ministers also put down their work and waited for the possible summons from the emperor.

Soon the prime ministers headed by Fang Xuanling gathered in the palace. Everyone's expression was very solemn, but no one was willing to speak.

The solar eclipse is a big event, it is best to speak cautiously before there is no official interpretation from Tai Shiling, if you say the wrong thing, your life may be over.

So everyone sat quietly in the hall and waited for Li Chunfeng's arrival.

Li Chunfeng did not arrive for a long time, but everyone was not in a hurry.

For such a big matter, the Taishi Bureau must conduct calculations, and calculations take time, and everyone can't rush.

But they didn't wait stupidly, but calculated in their hearts.From which angle will I explain this incident, and smooth things over for the emperor.

Fang Xuanling had already made plans to plead guilty.

The failure of the court can be caused by the emperor, or by the inaction of the prime minister.As the head of a hundred officials, he is qualified to take the blame for the emperor.

But this blame is not easy to recite, it depends on what the Taishi Bureau said, and what the emperor himself meant.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Li Chunfeng arrived late.Everyone cheered up immediately, and finally got to the point.

Ren Feng had already taken the waiters outside the door knowingly. Even if he was the eunuch next to the emperor, he was not qualified to attend many meetings.

After everyone left, Li Shimin asked, "Li Qing, what is your explanation for this solar eclipse Taishi Bureau?"

Li Chunfeng looked serious, and replied: "Saint, after calculations by the Taishi Bureau, this time it should be..."

"Wow." The sound of the door being pushed open interrupted what he said behind him, and Ren Feng, who had just left just now, ran in scrambling.

Li Shimin's face turned cold in an instant, and he was about to reprimand him, but Ren Feng shouted in panic:
"The sage is not well. News came from the East Palace that His Royal Highness was attacked and seriously injured."

Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news, and the solar eclipse had an explanation.

Then they all widened their eyes in shock.

The prince was attacked?Also seriously injured?This is a disaster more serious than any disaster.

Everyone seems to have seen the scene where countless heads fell to the ground.

The problem is, dead people are nothing, if something happens to the prince, the consequences... will be unimaginable.

Especially Li Chengqian's status is even more special, if something happens to him, no one can afford it.

They would rather Li Chengqian be well, and then find other things to take the blame for, even if they let them take the blame themselves.

At least taking the blame for the emperor is an invisible political achievement, and it won't take long for him to come back.Even if there is no way to come back, the emperor will give enough compensation.

But everything in the hands of the prince has become uncontrollable.

Li Shimin's hands were creaking and creaking, his face was terrified as if he wanted to eat people, and he asked word by word: "What did you say?"

Ren Feng tremblingly said: "Your Highness went to the Lonely Garden in the south of the city, and met some gangsters who robbed the orphaned girl in the garden...Accidentally injured her foot, and now she has been sent back to the East Palace."

Li Shimin, including Fang Xuanling and others, breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was only a foot injury, as long as it was not a fatal injury.

But in any case, the prince's attack is a huge matter and cannot be tolerated.

"Send those two gangsters to the Dali Temple prison, and have a good trial of who is behind them."

"Here."

"The bodyguards in charge of guarding the prince today are also arrested."

"Here."

After the arrangements were made, Li Shimin turned his attention to Li Chunfeng again and asked, "What did you want to say just now? How did the Taishi Bureau explain the solar eclipse?"

Li Chunfeng said solemnly: "This solar eclipse did not occur in isolation, it should be connected with the star Bo in March, and it is a bad omen."

"And I watched the sky last night and found that there is a suffocating energy that is heading towards the prince's star... This omen is precisely intended to be on the prince."

Then he said guiltily: "It's a pity that I only realized this at the moment when I saw the solar eclipse, and it was too late to warn the prince."

"The minister is not good at learning and art, so that the prince was killed in this way, please be punished by the sage."

Naturally, Li Shimin would not blame him, instead, he comforted him: "This is God's will, not what humans can do, no wonder you."

Li Chunfeng said gratefully: "Thank you saint for your innocence."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said: "Let's tell the world with this, as soon as possible, so as not to worry the people."

Li Chunfeng hurriedly said: "Here."

To be honest, he was already in a cold sweat from being frightened, how could the sky be so easy to explain, especially the ominous omen of a solar eclipse, if something goes wrong, his head would be lost.

As soon as the solar eclipse occurred, he convened people from the Taishi Bureau to discuss together, and finally came up with a solution with the least influence.

I almost said it just now, but it was fortunately interrupted by Ren Feng, otherwise it would have been impossible to end.

The prince was attacked and the astronomical warning was issued.

This interpretation had the least impact on the imperial court, and conversely, there was no negative impact at all, and it was all positive.

Because the astronomical warning shows that the prince is destined to return, is there any better news for a country than this?

So, is there a more perfect explanation than this?
If so, let that explanation go away.

After solving the astronomical problem, Li Shimin took his ministers to the East Palace to see the prince's condition.

After going through the initial shock, they were in a relaxed mood at this time, and even a little happy deep in their hearts. If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, some people could even laugh out loud.

Why?

The solar eclipse, which represents a bad omen, was solved so easily.

A solar eclipse occurs when the prince is attacked. What does this mean?The crown prince is the Lord of Destiny, and his position will become unshakable.

Even if Li Shimin wants to abolish the prince, it will become difficult.

The crown prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai, which means that the imperial power can transition smoothly, and they, who are courtiers, can invest boldly with confidence.

Instead of worrying about whether the prince will be abolished as before, whether it will be self-defeating to stand in line in advance.In this way, the glory of their family can last for a longer period of time.

How could they be unhappy when the bad omen turned into good omen?

As for the prince's injury...wasn't it just someone kicked his foot, at most he would have a broken bone, and he'll be fine after lying down for a while.

However, when they arrived at the East Palace, they found that the East Palace was being shrouded in a dignified atmosphere, and everyone looked solemn.

The eldest grandson Wugou who arrived earlier had a heavy complexion, the crown princess Su's eyes were red, and Chen Jingke, Cheng Yang, Gao Yang and others also had sullen faces.

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, there won't be another accident, right?
Li Shimin's heart sank uncontrollably, and he asked eagerly, "How is Cheng Qian's injury?"

The eldest grandson Wugou said worriedly: "The imperial doctor can't make a diagnosis, I have already sent someone to Zixiao Temple to invite Daoist Sun."

Li Shimin said angrily: "It's just a foot injury, what can't be diagnosed, these imperial doctors are a bunch of quack doctors."

But everyone understands that the imperial doctor is not a quack doctor, and they dare not say that there is only one reason, the prince's situation is very bad.

Changsun Wugou comforted him: "Sage calm down, Chengqian injured his foot bone, so the imperial doctor did not dare to give a diagnosis easily, Daoist Sun invited him to come here to ensure everything is safe."

Li Shimin's face became more gloomy, and he said, "Where's the imperial doctor, tell them to come here."

Someone will notify the imperial physician immediately.

After a while, three imperial doctors rushed over: "See the saint."

Li Shimin questioned: "What happened to the prince?"

"This..." The three imperial doctors looked at me and I at you, hesitating and daring to speak.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Say, if you dare to hide anything, your whole family will go to Lingnan and never come back."

The three of them knelt down with a 'plop', and hurriedly said: "Saint, Your Highness... Your Highness's arch bone is broken, even if it is cured, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid I'll be limping."

Hearing that Li Shimin's application froze immediately, his eldest grandson Wugou's face was also pale and his tender body kept trembling.

The Crown Princess Su almost fainted. To her, this result was not much different from the sky falling.

The hearts of the other courtiers also sank.

Just a moment ago, they were still happy about the vision that the prince was attacked, and they only thought that the prince was the lord of destiny, but they didn't know that the next moment would be a bolt from the blue.

Astronomical phenomena or lameness, who can influence the succession of the throne more?No one can tell for sure.

Although it cannot be said that a lame person cannot be a prince and a monarch, but after all, a physical disability will cast a shadow on the prince's life and make many things uncertain.

At this time, Chen Jingke finally couldn't help standing up, and asked: "There are many types of broken arches, and the severity is also different. How is Your Highness's injury?"

An imperial doctor carefully replied: "It should not be completely broken, but the small bone next to it is broken. Even if it recovers, it will not be able to walk."

Chen Jingke breathed a sigh of relief instead, and said, "Is that all?"

The imperial doctor originally wanted to say something like this, can you cure it?But when he thought of who Chen Jingke's master was, he quickly suppressed this sentence to death.

He didn't dare to have any doubts about the medical saint, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hang around in the circle if it spread.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "You mean that Sun Zhenren can cure it?"

Changsun Wugou and others also looked over expectantly.

Chen Jingke nodded and said: "As long as it is not completely broken, there is a high probability that it can be cured. The specific situation will not be known until Master comes."

Li Shimin immediately said: "Send someone to invite Sun Zhenren again."

Chen Jingke on the side is actually very complicated in his heart. Just now, he was fighting for the welfare of the sons-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and suddenly received news from the East Palace.

The prince was injured, or a foot injury.

At that time, my heart skipped a beat.

Originally, Li Chengqian had a foot disease that led to lameness in history, which led to his lack of confidence and even low self-esteem. Coupled with various other factors, he eventually went astray.

For so many years, Chen Jingke has been paying attention to this aspect, hoping to prevent problems before they happen.

In the past two or three years, after Sun Simiao's treatment, although Li Chengqian was still troubled by high blood pressure, it no longer affected his health.

When everything was on track, Chen Jingke slowly felt relieved.

But who knew that the accident came so suddenly, Li Chengqian was suddenly attacked by gangsters, and coincidentally injured his foot, which may even cause lameness.

What we tried our best to avoid still happened. Is this fate or the inertia of history?

Chen Jingke was also flustered.

However, he has never been a person who believes in fate. All labor and capital have traveled through time to change their fate against the sky.

With his guarantee, everyone felt a little relieved.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wugou and Chen Jingke went to the ward together, and saw Li Chengqian who was full of pain.

Changsun Wugou comforted him: "Don't worry, Jing Ke has already said just now, although your foot is serious, it is still within the range of Sun Zhenren's ability."

Chen Jingke quickly said: "You understand that surgery is already a routine treatment for Zixiao Temple, and your minor injury is not a big problem."

"Maybe there will be a little sequelae, that is, your foot may become weaker in the future, and you will not be able to do too strenuous exercise...but you can walk, sit and lie down like a normal person."

Li Chengqian said expectantly: "Really?"

Chen Jingke said relaxedly: "How dare I lie to people about such a big matter, don't worry."

Li Shimin finally said, "Trust in Zhenren Sun's medical skills and recover quickly. I'm still waiting for you to help me share the government affairs."

Li Chengqian's uneasy heart finally calmed down a little, and he said, "Thank you Aye, I will take good care of it."

After comforting him a few more words, Li Shimin withdrew from the ward, he was still not used to this kind of affection.

Seeing him coming out, Gao Yang, Cheng Yang and Jin Yang came in to visit him, naturally they couldn't help but comfort him repeatedly.

Seeing so many relatives, Li Chengqian's expression improved a lot again.

Soon Sun Simiao rushed over and checked Li Chengqian before he could catch his breath.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, the old god calmly checked Li Chengqian, and then said like a savior:
"It can be cured, and surgery can be arranged tomorrow."
