Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 55 Rumours Renew
"How can your Majesty delay state affairs because of the love between your children. I am happy that you are accompanying me at this time."

"But now that the locust plague is serious, it's time for you to take charge of the overall situation."

"If you don't go to court at this time, everyone will blame me for being ignorant."

Li Shimin saw his eldest grandson coughing and felt his heart being pulled.At this time, he was not willing to oppose Changsun's opinion.

Said softly: "Okay, everything is up to you, you have a good rest. I will come as soon as I go."

Only then did the eldest grandson reveal a smile:
"Go quickly, second brother."

"I'll drink some of the wine that girl Wu Fu got and I'll be fine soon."

After hearing this, Li Shimin stood up, tucked her in, and then left Sanqing Hall and rushed to Xuanzheng Hall.

At this time, the ministers had already arrived. Seeing Li Shimin's arrival, they all shouted "Long live" three times.

Li Shimin glanced absently at the eunuch Ding Yu who was on duty today, obviously wanting to leave the court early.

Ding Yu understood and was about to step forward.

But he saw Changsun Wuji walking out of the courtroom.
"The minister has the original play."

"Rumors are spreading inside and outside Chang'an today, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill and that it was caused by the backlash of the Locust God."

After Li Shimin finished listening, the unknown fire in his heart ignited again,

"Guo Xiaoke. Order the Nanya Army to thoroughly investigate the person who spread the rumors. Once the rumor is implemented, he will be executed."

Guo Xiaoke was taken aback, would he kill someone for spreading rumors?What's wrong with the emperor?
But Tian's power was unpredictable, and he didn't dare to persuade him, so he had no choice but to surrender.

After listening to Li Shimin's decree, His Highness's ministers started talking one after another. They all knew that the Emperor had been under a lot of pressure recently, and given the Crown Prince's illness, it was normal for him to be angry.

But they have never seen such a situation before someone is about to kill someone.

Wei Zheng came out of the class at this time and said:
"Your Majesty, I have my own report. The prince's illness is caused by fatigue. We only need an official announcement to dispel the rumors."

"As for those who spread rumors, they can be punished according to the law, and it should not be too strict."

"If the death penalty is executed rashly, it will be inconsistent with His Majesty's national policy of showing benevolence and righteousness to others."

Li Shimin looked at the chattering ministers below and listened to Wei Zheng's dissuasion. He knew that he had become a little anxious because of his eldest grandson's illness.

Then nodded:
"Aiqing is right."

"Xiao Ke, just do what Wei Shizhong wants. If there are any other big rumors, please tell me in time."

Then he said to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui:
"Chengqian's illness is actually caused by overwork. He will be fine after a few days of rest."

"It's just that we can't stop the locust extermination. You two are temporarily responsible for this matter."

"For those who spread rumors and stop locust extermination, they will all be implemented according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty and will never be tolerated."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui took the lead.

Li Shimin did not stop at all, and then arranged for Ding Yu:
"I will post a list of emperors in the province of Shangshu, looking for famous doctors in the world. Anyone who can cure the Queen's patients will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and appointed as a county marquis."

After saying this, the officials understood the reason for the emperor's fury.

Not only is the prince seriously ill, but also the queen is implicated. Could it be that the locust god is really backlash?

Li Shimin couldn't care less about the discussions of the ministers because his heart was focused on his eldest grandson.

Seeing them talking all the time, I couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

He said directly: "My dear friends, since everything is fine, let's all go away."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the officials to react, he stood up directly and walked to the back of the hall.

Only then did the ministers react and said in a confused voice: "Your Majesty."

Empress Changsun had already been escorted back to Qingning Palace, and Li Shimin hurried back.

The guard at the door was about to salute, but he stopped him and entered the palace directly.After entering the palace, I found that Queen Changsun had already fallen asleep, and Wu Fu was waiting at the bedside.

When he saw Li Shimin, he immediately stood up slightly and whispered, "Wu Fu has met my father."

Li Shimin liked this girl very much and saw the shadow of his eldest grandson when he was young in her.

A smile appeared on Tie Qing's face, "You're here, Zhao'er."

Wu Fu hummed, "I heard that my mother was feeling a little unwell this morning, so I came over."

"I'm afraid that others won't be able to control the blending ratio of the wine, so I still have to do it myself."

"I just gave it to my mother, and she seems to be able to sleep peacefully now."

A few words not only explained the matter clearly, but also comforted Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson who was breathing steadily on the hospital bed, and his mood improved a little.

Instead, he sat on the head of the bed, quietly looking at his sleeping eldest grandson, and kept recalling every bit of being with her in his mind.

Seeing this situation, Wu Fu also signaled to the maids in the palace and led them out gently.

Not long after, Li Shimin heard hurried footsteps outside the palace, and then heard Guo Xiaoke talking to Wu Fu in a low voice.

He couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that there were any bad rumors about Cheng Qian?

He slowly walked out of the hall, only to see Wu Fu was about to walk in, and Guo Xiaoke was standing outside the hall.

Then he asked: "Xiaoke, is the prince's matter fermented again?"

Guo Xiaoke saw him coming out and quickly said:

"Originally I didn't dare to disturb His Majesty. But at this time, I really didn't dare to make the decision, so I had to boldly come to report."

Li Shimin hummed noncommittally, "Go ahead, I can handle it."

Guo Xiaoke then cautiously said:
"The current trend of rumors has changed. It is said that the Queen is also seriously ill. Like the Prince, she suffered the backlash of the Locust God."

Li Shimin showed no expression at first, and then sneered: "I had already thought of this result when I released the imperial list."

"Xiao Ke, you go find the source of these rumors. Once you find them, put these people in jail. Make them public and execute them. But don't kill them by mistake."

"Some people really forget that my empire was won on a horse."

Listening to Li Shimin's gloomy words, Guo Xiaoke shivered smartly, quickly agreed, and turned around.

After Li Shimin finished making arrangements, he said to Wu Yan: "Zhao'er, I heard that you are very familiar with the Taoist priest in Huayin County?"

Wu Fu was also a little scared when he saw Li Shimin, who had made many decisions about his life and death while talking and laughing.

Listening to Li Shimin's question, he felt excited in his heart and said without thinking:
"Yes. Yuan Shou is a very good person. He especially likes to help others."

Li Shimin nodded, "I can see what happened when Cheng Qian destroyed the locusts."

"You come with me to Huayin County, and I'll pay a visit to this Taoist priest."

Wu Fu didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly asked his maid to go to Huayin County to inform Yuan Shouwei on the pretext of changing his clothes, telling him that the emperor was going.

By the time she came back, Li Shimin had already packed up and took her and a dozen personal guards all the way to Huayin County.

At the foot of Beiming Mountain, Li Shimin looked up at the Beiming Mountain surrounded by aura, and couldn't help but sigh:

"What a spiritual peak. It's true that the mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be famous. If the water is not deep, if there are dragons, they will be spiritual."

After saying that, he walked towards the top of the mountain.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, I saw a young Taoist priest with a restrained spirit and a handsome face standing in front of the temple to greet him.

Li Shimin had seen countless people. After looking at Yuan Shouwei, he couldn't help but secretly cheer. This man has returned to his original nature at a young age. He is indeed no ordinary person.
