Chapter 129 The crisis began with the old emperor's stroke

Chapter 139 The crisis began with the old emperor's stroke

Li Wan finally died, no matter how he used a weird substitute before, and then hid it again, this time he was really sure of death.

He might have plans for the next step, but with his destruction, everything came to naught.

There is no way to pursue it, and there is no need to pursue it.

The old emperor vomited blood on the spot, became angry and fell into a coma, and was immediately sent back to the palace for first aid.

Li Longji vomited blood, not because he was saddened by the suicide of Li Wan, his son, and saddened by the tragedy of fratricide, but because he was so angry by Li Wan's words before his death.

"Father, father, my son-in-law Li Wan bids farewell... My son is in the underworld, waiting for the day when father comes down! Hahahahahaha!"

Li Longji's vicious words were still lingering in his ears until the moment he passed out from a coma.In the eyes of the old emperor, Li Wan's intentions were so vicious, not only had no remorse, but even dared to curse himself!
In the emperor's heart, nothing but anger was anger, and family affection had long been forgotten.

Zhang Xuan stood in front of Yongmu Temple and was silent for a long time.

The emperor did not have time to issue the final "command", but Zhang Xuan guessed that the emperor must not be willing to spread the news of Li Wan's "resurrection" and "resurrection"——

Zhang Xuan turned his head to look at Habayashi Weiro General Gu Xi and the Chief of the General's House Shi Zhouxuchu and other Habayashi Wei generals, and waved his hands.

"Great general!" The two hurried over and listened to Zhang Xuan's order.

"General Gu Lang, Zhou Changshi, take people into Yongmu Temple for a thorough investigation, don't let go of any corner, be sure to clean up the remnants of King Rong. In addition, according to the order of the official, no one should disclose what happened today If you go out, you will violate the military law. In addition, properly contain Li Wan's body and wait for His Majesty's order."

"What I mean, have you ever understood?"

Zhou Xuchu and Gu Xi looked at each other, bowed and said loudly, "I will understand in the end."

"Go and open the city gate quickly and restore order in the city. Go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to pass on my order, and order Jingzhao Mansion Shao Yin Malu to assist Habayashi Wei in dealing with the aftermath."

After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he got on his horse and galloped towards the imperial city under the guard of dozens of soldiers.

He was very worried about Li Longji's physical condition.It can be said that Li Wan's rebellion against the palace was a heavy blow to the emperor. Since then, his health has been deteriorating, and his energy and spirit have not been as good as before.And this time, Li Wan provoked him a bit, so it's hard to say whether there will be any accidents.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that the old emperor could not die yet.With him alive and shocking the world, An Lushan can still maintain temporary stability.And once the old emperor dies, not only Anlu Mountain will definitely rebel, but also the Tang court will be in chaos.

Zhang Xuan hurried into the palace, it was almost evening.

Although the Spring Festival is just around the corner, the weather in Chang'an City is still extremely cold.The cold little north wind blows without pain or itchiness, making people's faces hurt and disturbed.

Zhang Xuan, as the "leader" of the palace guards and a trusted minister beside the emperor, holds the imperial gold medal, so he has the qualification to gallop in the imperial city.

Zhang Xuan took the lead, galloping swiftly in the cold wind to the door of the imperial study.At this time, there were already many imperial doctors and more than a hundred eunuchs and maids waiting in the small square outside the door, with a slightly distressed look on their faces.

Zhang Xuan dismounted from his horse, and strode forward with a face as heavy as water.Behind him, dozens of sturdy Habayashi guards followed closely.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and the soldiers ordered him to stop him, and immediately bowed and retreated to one side.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the group of imperial physicians standing silently outside the door, he recognized the first one, it was the Imperial Physician Ling Qian Yilin from the Imperial Medical Office.And behind the imperial doctor, he also found two slender Taoist priests with clear faces, about forty years old, and they looked quite immortal.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that this must be the court alchemist used by the old emperor.

The trend of alchemy and eating was the most popular in the Tang Dynasty, and princes, nobles, literati and celebrities took it as a fashion.The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were most fond of taking elixir, so the Tang Dynasty had the most emperors who died of poisoning due to taking elixir.

Under this kind of social atmosphere, the old emperor Li Longji is no exception. Ever since he felt that his energy was low, he began to call in alchemists to refine the so-called "Tianqing Pill" every day, in an attempt to change his fate against the sky, even if he couldn't To live forever is to prolong life for dozens of years, right?

Seeing Zhang Xuan, Qian Yilin hurried forward with a group of imperial doctors, bowed in salute and said, "The imperial physician ordered Qian Yilin to lead the staff of the imperial medical office to see the general!"

Zhang Xuan smiled calmly, "Lord Qian, you don't need to be too polite, and you don't need to be too polite."

"Master Qian, how is Your Majesty's physical condition..." Zhang Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and asked Qian Linlin directly.

"Back to the general, your majesty is suffering from a stroke. Your majesty has been working on state affairs for many years, overworked and sick, resulting in the weakening of internal organs, dysfunctional functions, long-term retention of pathogenic factors, and loss of righteousness. In addition, today's emotional anger, this is the cause of the disease... ..." Qian Yilin replied respectfully.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, his expression changed.

Although he does not know medical skills, he also knows the seriousness of stroke.Light ranges from hemiplegia in bed, and severe ranges from life-threatening.Not to mention that in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, even in the modern age where he lives, stroke is also a serious disease, and it is difficult to completely cure it.

Zhang Xuan was silent for a moment, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Qian, have you ever used medicine for His Majesty? But Your Majesty..."

"After discussion, the general, the subordinate officials and others have adopted the method of nourishing yin, invigorating the spleen and nourishing the body, acupuncture and moxibustion, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. They have already taken Fuyuan Pill and Jiecondensation Huoluo Pill for His Majesty. Your Majesty is safe...you can be fine, but—— " Qian Linlin said, hesitating for a while before he leaned forward and whispered in Zhang Xuan's ear, "Your Majesty's serious illness accumulated suddenly in an instant, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to..."

Zhang Xuan also understood Qian Linlin's meaning. The old emperor had a stroke, and he might not die, but he would be paralyzed on the bed, and he might not be able to maintain a clear consciousness.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath.

The imperial government's policy of reducing and merging the vassals has just been promulgated and implemented. The situation in the world's vassals has not yet stabilized. Most of the new vassals and towns have not yet been in place. At this juncture, the old emperor has become like this. How can he control the situation?
"General, maybe let those alchemists try it." As a famous doctor of Tianbao, Qian Linlin was the most disgusted and dismissive of alchemists. A so-called elixir can cure all diseases and live forever. Isn't that What nonsense!It's just that the atmosphere of this era is like this, and he can't do anything about it.

Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, glanced at the two alchemists, and shook his head.

The old emperor's health is so bad that it can be said that he is in a precarious situation. If he is allowed to take the highly toxic "elixir", he can only be sent to the Yellow Springs.

At this time, the two alchemists floated forward, nodded slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Three idiots of the poor way (wrapping), I have seen the general!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand indifferently, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, so let's stop this pill technique."

The three idiots were stunned, but they said proudly, "The poor Taoists are ordered to refine Taiqing Dan, using five metals, eight stones and three yellow materials from the Kunlun Kingdom and the Western Ming Dynasty of Persia, and gathering the Qi of the Five Elements to refine it. It takes 49 days to make a pill. When a pill is made, it can take away the creation of heaven and earth, and bring back the flesh and bones of the dead... Your Majesty's ailment, what's the point?"

Taoist San Chi wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Zhang Xuanli ignored him, he turned around and went to the expert in the imperial study.He couldn't help puffing out his chest in embarrassment, his nose twitched a few times, and he returned to his sanctimonious look.

The chief eunuch Li Jingzhong and two young eunuchs were guarding the door. Seeing Zhang Xuan approaching, he quickly smiled and bowed to salute, "Great general is well!"

Zhang Xuan nodded to Li Jingzhong, "Eunuch Li, how is your Majesty doing?"

Li Jingzhong glanced at the Imperial Physician Ling Qian Lin who was not far away, and said softly, "The Imperial Physician prescribed the medicine, His Majesty has woken up, but he is still bedridden..."

"I'll go in and see His Majesty." Zhang Xuan said and strode in.

Li Jingzhong hesitated for a moment, and was about to dissuade him, but suddenly swallowed the words again.

Although Gao Lishi strictly ordered anyone not to enter the Imperial Study Room unless summoned, Zhang Xuan was not an ordinary subject after all, and Li Jingzhong did not dare to stop him.

Gao Lishi stood quietly in front of Li Longji's sickbed, while Yang Yuhuan sat under the sickbed, looking at the old emperor's pale face, slanted mouth and eyes, and a trace of salivation dripping from the corner of his mouth, with complex eyes and complex emotions .

Gao Lishi suddenly heard the sound of someone entering and walking, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows abruptly. He was about to have an attack, but when he saw Zhang Xuan turning the screen, he twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent again.

When Yang Yuhuan saw Zhang Xuan, his expression became more complicated.She turned her head silently, but slowly stood up again.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the emperor, and his heart tightened: Judging from the symptoms, it really is a stroke!

"General, Your Majesty..." Zhang Xuan turned to look at Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi's face was a little pale, and he sighed softly, "Zizhan, Your Majesty just took the medicine, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it as a stroke."

As a loyal old slave, Li Longji suddenly fell ill, and Gao Lishi was the most sour and unpleasant person in this palace.

At this moment, the old emperor's cloudy eyes suddenly opened slowly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly leaned over, and said softly, "Minister Zhang Xuan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty... Please also ask Your Majesty to raise the dragon's body in peace, and don't worry about state affairs."

The old emperor's trembling hand slowly reached out and grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand. His mouth was unclear, and Zhang Xuan could only vaguely hear the words "Yang Guozhong".

The old emperor was already slurring his speech, and it seemed that his mind was not very clear, but Zhang Xuan understood the meaning.

Zhang Xuan let the old emperor's weak and trembling hand grab his own hand, turned his head to look at Gao Lishi and said in a low voice, "General, Your Majesty has an order, quickly and secretly convey Yang Guozhong's opinion!"

Gao Lishi nodded, and was about to go out and order Li Jingzhong to proclaim Yang Guozhong in person, when Zhang Xuan said softly, "General, in my opinion, the news about His Majesty's stroke should be blocked for now, so as not to cause turmoil in the world. "

"For the current plan, it is best to announce His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gao Lishi suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan, and saw Zhang Xuan's face was calm and calm, but the awe-inspiring brilliance in his eyes was faintly visible.Gao Lishi's heart trembled, and he nodded subconsciously.

At this moment, not only Zhang Xuan, but also Gao Lishi and Yang Yuhuan knew that another new crisis had begun from the old emperor's stroke.
