The Flourishing Tang Dynasty: Beginning with Marrying Yang Yuhuan

Chapter 128 Big Events Are Coming
Li Longji had heard that Mei Fei Jiang Caiping had a good relationship with Li Heng before she entered the palace. Not only that, some people also said that he had stolen his son's love.

This made him angry.

If such a thing was publicized, it would ruin his reputation, so he sent people to investigate who was spreading the rumor, and the investigation led to the discovery of Li Ju.

He felt that it was time to deal with the prince's party.

Li Longji thought for a moment and said to Gao Lishi beside him: "Call Prince Zhong to the palace. I will wait for him in the Chenxiang Pavilion."

After that, he got up and left.

When Li Linfu saw Li Longji's expression, he knew that something big was going to happen, and he couldn't help but secretly make plans in his mind.

……

……

……

Agarwood Pavilion.

Li Heng came in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Li Heng saw Li Longji playing the piano, and Concubine Mei Jiang Caiping was dancing to the sound of Li Longji's piano.

Li Heng had hardly seen Jiang Caiping since he sent her into the palace, so when he finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night right in front of him, he really wanted to take a closer look.

But he knew he couldn't.

Because he also heard that Li Ju had spread the story of his relationship with Jiang Caiping before they entered the palace.

If he looked at Jiang Caiping one more time now, it would completely confirm the matter. Once this matter was confirmed, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

So Li Heng kept his head down, his expression indifferent, and his eyes didn't even shift a glance.

Li Longji did not watch Jiang Caiping dancing, but kept his eyes on Li Heng.

Until the end of the song, Li Heng didn't react at all, and he felt very satisfied.

He felt that Li Heng should not have any unreasonable expectations.

Li Longji said: "The battle report from Anxi has just arrived. This time we have another great victory, and we have easily captured Suiye City. How do you think I should reward Shibalang?"

Li Heng said: "My eighteenth brother is a rare general who can plan and win battles thousands of miles away. But God is jealous of talents and I am ill. If the emperor wants to reward me, I hope he can give me some famous doctors to help me recuperate. I will also pray for you day and night, hoping that you can recover soon and make more contributions to the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes." Li Longji was also very satisfied with Li Heng's answer and said, "You are right. Doctor Zhang is an excellent doctor and has always been employed by me. Since you have this intention, I will approve your request and send Doctor Zhang to Shibalang as a medical officer."

Li Longji's arrangement was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Long before, Li Linfu recruited famous doctors from all over the world, and two people with superb medical skills came, one named Wang Bing and the other named Zhou Guang.

Wang Bing was a disciple of Meng Shen, the founder of diet therapy, while Zhou Guang was more legendary, saying that his medical skills were learned from a master.

Therefore, Li Longji had long had the idea of ​​replacing Imperial Physician Zhang, and now that Li Heng had brought it up, he just went with the flow.

Li Heng said: "Father, you have shown me so much love. I must be grateful to you."

Li Longji smiled upon hearing this and said, "You are also a good son and a good brother. I must reward you as well. Zhang Quyi has a daughter who is also your cousin. I will grant you a marriage and make her your concubine."

The person Li Longji was talking about was the famous Empress Zhang in history.

Empress Zhang's grandmother, Dou, was the younger sister of Li Longji's mother, Empress Dowager Zhaocheng.

Therefore, the political purpose behind Li Longji's arrangement is obvious. Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you, father."

Li Longji nodded, without looking at Li Heng, but glanced at Jiang Caiping next to him.

Jiang Caiping was looking at Li Heng at this time, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Li Longji could not help but feel nameless anger, but he did not show it. He just calmly asked Li Heng to leave first, and then sighed: "Shiba Lang and San Lang are both kind and filial, but the crown prince has been a little too presumptuous recently."

Li Longji did not see Li Heng's affection for Jiang Caiping, but he saw Jiang Caiping's affection for Li Heng, so he sighed like this to hint to Jiang Caiping that if you want to help Li Heng win the position of crown prince, you should quickly find a way to deal with the crown prince. I have already expressed my dissatisfaction with the crown prince. As long as you give a reasonable excuse, I will fulfill your wish without hesitation.

Jiang Caiping understood Li Longji's hint and began to make plans in her mind.

After Li Longji sighed, he glanced at Jiang Caiping, and then asked someone to summon Concubine Wu Huifei, and took her to Prince Ning's Mansion.

Prince Ning Li Xian was Li Longji's elder brother and also Li Heng's adoptive father.

Because Wu Huifei's first two sons died young, after giving birth to Li Heng, she did not raise him herself, but let Prince Ning take care of him.

Prince Ning's wife, Yuan, was Li Heng's adoptive mother. She personally breastfed Li Heng, raised him, and always treated Li Heng as her own son.

Now that Yuan is seriously ill, Li Longji naturally has to come to visit her.

Li Longji originally wanted to bring Jiang Caiping with him, but when he saw the way Jiang Caiping looked at Li Heng, he felt indescribably annoyed. Besides, Wu Huifei and Yuanshi were Li Heng's biological mother and adoptive mother respectively, so it was more appropriate to bring Wu Huifei to visit.

Li Longji and Concubine Wu Huifei had just arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, and Wang Bing from the Imperial Medical Bureau had just finished examining Yuanshi.

Li Longji summoned Wang Bing and asked, "How is Princess Ning's health?"

Wang Bing said honestly: "Your Majesty, I have tried my best to take care of Princess Ning, but Princess Ning is old after all. I am afraid she only has one year to live at most."

Li Longji sighed when he heard this.

Concubine Wu Huifei came to Yuanshi's bedside and started chatting with her.

Wu Huifei first told Yuanshi the news that Li Ying had captured Suiye City in Anxi. Yuanshi was both happy and proud and said, "Ying'er has been smart since he was young. He will be able to make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I have finally not wasted his talent."

"If it weren't for my sister-in-law, Ying'er wouldn't have achieved this." Concubine Wu Huifei affirmed Yuan's contribution.

Yuan smiled and said, "I just don't know if my body can hold out until the next time Heng'er returns to the capital. Princess Shou is already seven or eight months pregnant. The next time Heng'er returns to the capital, he should bring the child with him. I don't know if Heng'er's child will be as smart as him. I really want to take a look."

Wu Huifei was touched when she heard Yuanshi's words, and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you will get better. When Princess Shou has given birth and recovered, I will ask the saint to summon him to bring the child back to visit you."

"I'm afraid this will delay his official business." Yuan said.

Concubine Wu Huifei said: "No matter how important the official business is, it is not greater than the grace of raising me."

Concubine Wu Huifei just heard from Wang Bing that Yuan Shi only had one year to live at most, and it would take Yang Yuhuan almost half a year to give birth and recuperate. After half a year, Li Heng would be summoned back. If he could make it in time, he could see Yuan Shi for the last time. If he could not make it, he might have to come back early to see Yuan Shi off.

No matter what, Li Heng had to return to Beijing.

Therefore, what Concubine Wu Huifei said was not meant to deceive Yuanshi.

Yuan was very happy to hear this and said, "In this case, I will hold on until Yan'er comes back no matter what."

"Yes." Concubine Wu Hui nodded with a smile on her face, but she was a little worried in her heart, thinking: "I am becoming more and more confused about the current situation in the court. I wonder what the situation will be like when Heng'er comes back."

　The protagonist's child is about to be born. Is it a boy or a girl? What should he be named? Friends, please give me some suggestions.
