Chapter Fifty-One: The Queen's Critical Illness
Bang!
In the Li Zheng Hall, Li Shimin looked at the imperial doctors kneeling below with red eyes. He couldn't help his anger.
"A bunch of quacks! Quacks! What's the point of raising you? If you don't come up with a cure, I'll chop off your heads!"
Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound to attract the attention of the angry king.
Li Shimin was a benevolent monarch. He would never lose his temper and disregard human life. This time he was really anxious.
"Guanyin Maid! Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you. Even if I give everything I have, I will grow old with you!"
Li Shimin held the hand of Empress Changsun on the hospital bed tightly and kept rubbing it, as if he wanted to transfer the warmth of his palm to it.
Li Shimin had deep feelings for Empress Changsun. She was the woman he loved most in his life. Even though he had a harem of three thousand beauties, Empress Changsun was always the most favored and favored by no one in the harem. No one could match the affection of the empress.
Insert. Other women are just a man’s lust for beauty.
There are many records in history books about Li Shimin's love for Empress Changsun. In the early years of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun's half-brother Changsun Anye participated in a rebellion and was punished by law. However, because of Empress Changsun's plea, Taizong exempted him from the death penalty.
Such a person who committed the serious crime of treason was still able to worship the Minister of War and be granted the title of Duke of Xue in the end. According to general logic, if the brothers rebelled, the queen should kneel down to plead guilty at this time, fearing that she would be implicated, but Queen Changsun not only
Instead of worrying about his own situation, he directly asked the emperor to forgive his half-brother. What kind of favor did he get to have such confidence?
Seeing that Empress Changsun was lying on the hospital bed, she no longer looked as bright as before and became very haggard and thin. However, in Li Shimin's heart, his Guanyin Maid would always be the most beautiful and the woman who could touch his heart the most!
It is no longer known what Empress Changsun looked like, but we can still find some clues from some records.
The peach blossoms in Shangyuan are rising as the sun rises, and the orchid concubines are in love with each other.
Inoue's new peach steals the complexion, and the tender willow beside the eaves learns to be light.
Come and watch the dancing butterflies among the flowers, and listen to the singing of orioles in the trees.
Why go far under the forest to ask questions? Being outstanding and romantic has always been famous.
This poem is called "Spring Outing". In the poem, when the peach blossoms are blooming, the beauties in the harem fly gracefully through the sky, watching the butterflies and listening to the orioles. The peach blossoms are beautiful because they have stolen her complexion, and the tender willows have learned from her.
She has a slim waist and a light body. She thinks arrogantly that her reputation for being outstanding and romantic has already spread far and wide in the world, and there is no need to ask again!
So this poem was "recited and praised by the beauty's husband, the ninety-five-year-old emperor, as beautiful".
As a result, this poem was denounced as a "pornographic poem" by some pedantic old scholars.
But there is no doubt that this poem is a proud and confident portrait of a happy woman!
And this woman was the eldest son of a generation of virtuous queens who was called "Jia Ou" and "Liang Zuo" by her husband Li Shimin, and was called "Jin Shang etiquette" and "Mother Yi He Wei" by history books.
Queen Changsun looked at the man she loved most in her life quietly, with a mixture of relief and regret in her eyes. In ancient times, she did not have the idea of having two people for the rest of her life. The world has always been patriarchal, with men having three wives and four concubines.
It's normal, not to mention that my husband is the king among men. I am very satisfied to be able to get his lifelong love. I am really very happy!
However, she still has unwillingness and regrets. She really wants to keep going on at the expense of him. She still wants to live. She still has a lot to worry about! Her husband, her children, and her relatives!
She turned her eyes around the bed and walked around Li Shimin. There, standing were her children, Qian'er, Qingque, Changle, Zhinu, Xiaodouzi and Gao Yang. There was deep reluctance in her eyes, and she finally stayed aside. of Changle.
Changle was her and Erlang's first daughter. This daughter who was held in the palm of her and Erlang's hands was born with a disease inherited from her body. She looked at her crying silently beside her bed. Her daughter, Queen Changsun, was very worried. She was struck down by this disease. So, what should she do about her daughter, Changle?
"Erlang, I am satisfied that I can stay with you and give birth to these children in this life, but Changle... Changle..."
Empress Changsun couldn't talk anymore. This strong woman didn't even shed a tear even when she was suffering from illness, but when she thought about her child, she burst into tears.
What she has always worried about the most is her daughter Changle. She has been suffering from illnesses since she was a child, and it is all her fault!
"Erlang, we must save Changle, save Changle!"
Empress Changsun held Li Shimin's hand tightly with both hands, her eyes full of pleading. This is a mother who always puts her children first.
"Don't worry, Maid Guanyin, Changle is my daughter, and I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I will definitely take good care of Changle. You have a good rest, and I will definitely find a way to save you!"
Li Shimin's heart was roaring. As an emperor, he could not even protect the woman he loved. At this moment, this strong and great man was filled with a sense of powerlessness. Could it be that no one in the great Tang Dynasty could help him?
The entire Li Zheng Hall was filled with a sad atmosphere, and only faint and suppressed cries could be heard.
"There is someone who can save the Queen Mother, Father, Gao Yang knows someone who can save the Queen Mother!"
Just when everyone was invaded by this solemn and sad atmosphere, Gao Yang suddenly said loudly.
Li Shimin suddenly turned his head, "Gao Yang, say it again!" His eyes were like a vicious beast that was eating people. Gao Yang was frightened by such a look, and his voice disappeared immediately. He lowered his head cowardly, feeling very uneasy.
"Gao Yang, say what you just said again!"
Li Chengqian's heart tightened, and he already had a bad intuition. Sure enough, Princess Gao Yang raised her head and whispered,
"Father, Gao Yang once saw with his own eyes someone who could resurrect the dead. He will definitely be able to save his mother. The prince brother also knows it!"
"Yes, my father, I have seen her before, but the woman was not dead but unconscious at the time!"
Under Li Shimin's keen gaze, Li Chengqian had no choice but to stand up and bravely return. However, being able to live the dead was too exaggerated. It was simply not something that humans could do. In ancient times, the royal family was most taboo about ghosts and monsters. In order to Li Chengqian could only say this so as not to cause trouble to Zhang Yang.
Li Shimin listened carefully to what Li Chengqian said about what Zhang Yang had done, and stared at him. Li Chengqian felt a chill in his heart. He had hidden this section when he reported to his father what happened on the night of Shangyuan Festival a few days ago. Yes, at that time I wanted to let people know Zhang Yang’s existence, but now it seems like I shot myself in the foot.
"Pass an order to bring this person to the palace!"
Li Shimin was really anxious. Under normal circumstances, outsiders could not be brought into the palace casually. However, in the past few days, the imperial doctors could not find a way to treat Empress Changsun. Seeing that her condition was getting worse,
At this time, no matter what method it was, Li Shimin had to try it. It was like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
