Chapter 6 The first meeting with Comrade Li
Influenced by Li Yan, Sun Simiao was destined to become famous in the Tang Dynasty in the tenth year of Zhenguan. On the day he followed Li Ke into the palace, he happened to meet Empress Changsun fainted. The imperial physicians were busy for a long time but still woke up. Li Shimin ran from the Tai Chi Hall to Empress Changsun's bedroom, scolding the incompetent imperial physicians. Sun Simiao deserves the title of the King of Medicine. He is famous and has no weak scholar. He has awakened Empress Changsun in a moment with his superb acupuncture. After he diagnosed Empress Changsun's condition in detail, he assured Li Shimin that after a year of careful care, Empress Changsun's health could improve.
This made Li Shimin ecstatic and gave Sun Simiao an official and a title. Although Sun Simiao tried his best to ruthlessly said that he did not want to be an official, he could not withstand Li Shimin's imperial power. In the end, he accepted the position of the Imperial Physician and was in charge of the entire Imperial Hospital. As the main recommender, Li Yan was of course also rewarded by His Majesty Taizong. Not only did he lift his confinement, but he also gave him a reward.
Li Yan was already the King of Liang, and no matter how much he rewarded the title, he was just like that. He only rewarded some land, money and silk, and the number was not large. What was more special was the reward for Li Yan's fiancée Xiao Wenxin.
It is probably because Comrade Li, who saw his son doing this kind of favor, felt that he had done a bit too much before. No matter how he was his own son, he would marry a daughter of a concubine, so how could he be a human being in the future? But now it is too late to break off the engagement. After all, breaking off the engagement in this era is condemned by public opinion and morality, and the royal family, as the example of the world, cannot be so bad. However, there is no way. Li Shimin issued an order to let Xiao Yu adopt Xiao Wenxin to the eldest son of the legitimate son. In this way, Xiao Wenxin became the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the eldest son. Although everyone actually understands what is going on, it sounds much better in name, and it is not too embarrassing to marry her.
If you get the reward, you have to go to the palace to thank you immediately. Li Yan complained deeply that it was natural for his father to give his son something. As a son, he had to rush to the palace to thank him. In his previous life, his father gave him too much, but he never said a word thank you.
Although he was uneasy, he had to go to the palace. Gao Chong had already prepared the carriage, and Wen'er and Hua'er were already waiting in the carriage. If you want to say that his prince's airs are not ordinary, he had to serve him when he went out to ride a carriage, and there were also a series of bodyguards standing beside the carriage. Oh, no, they were guards.
The carriage in the Liang Palace was so gorgeous that it was luxurious. The three of them didn't feel crowded at all. The carriage was full of tea and snacks, which was much better than the service of the Ministry of Railways in later generations.
While eating snacks and tasting the tea with salt, Li Yan thought that this year's spring tea would come down soon and he would definitely make some fried tea to drink. The carriage came out of Anxingfang and passed Yongxingfang, and then entered the imperial city through Yanxi Gate. The imperial city is divided into two parts: the front and back. In front is the Shangshu Province and Taichang Temple, which will serve as a government office, with Chengtian Gate as the boundary. After entering Chengtian Gate, it is Taiji Palace, which is where Li Shimin and his concubines live. To the east of Taiji Palace is the East Palace, which is the residence of the prince. The name of the prince of the East Palace comes from here. To the west is the Yeting Palace, which is mainly where palace maids live and criminal bureaucrats and families and women with no one to work in the palace.
When Li Yan came in, Comrade Lao Li was considering the calligraphy of his children. Ganlu Hall is the third hall of Tai Chi Palace, and its function is similar to that of the study. Generally speaking, only Lao Li's concubines and children can enter.
In the hall, Li Yan's brothers and sisters were divided into two rows, with nine princes plus more than a dozen princesses. Except for Zaoya and the married ones, almost all of them were here. Even Princess Changshan and Princess Xincheng, who were just one year old, were held by the wet nurse and played. Li Shimin walked and looked at the calligraphy of his children, and commented from time to time, which seemed very kind.
Li Yan hurriedly walked to Li Shimin quickly and bowed deeply, "Son of my son, please see my father!"
Before he came, he specifically asked Gao Chong to give him some etiquette training, and now he is doing it well. At the same time, he secretly looked at the famous Emperor Taizong in history and found that it was indeed similar to what is recorded in history books. He was a handsome man with a heroic and decisive spirit. The princes and princesses sitting and writing had such good-growing fathers, and each of them was handsome, heroic, or beautiful and cute. Anyway, no ugly person was.
"Well, you did a good job this time. Thanks to the Sun Simiao you recommended, your mother's condition was controlled." Li Shimin looked at Li Yan, but his eyes were a little complicated. "I heard from Ke'er that you caused abscess after your injury last time, and now you don't remember anything. Isn't it true?"
When Li Shimin said this, he looked at Li Yan again with suspicion. It was not that he didn't believe in his son, but that Li Yan was too naughty before and dared to do anything. According to his previous personality, it was very likely that he was pretending to be sick in order to retaliate against the Cheng family's father and son. After all, Li Yangui was a prince, and it was not much of a merit for the Cheng family. But it would not be so easy to break up if he broke the brain. At least he had to be severely punished. After all, this was related to the majesty of the royal family.
At this time, Li Yan's brothers and sisters in the hall also stopped and looked at Li Yan. These eyes were either concerned, disdain, grateful, or resentful, etc. Just from these eyes, Li Yan could understand how he would get along with everyone in the future.
"Your father, my son is indeed amnesia, and I don't even recognize words now." As soon as Li Yan said this, he immediately felt that the eyes around him had changed, and most of them looked at him with sympathy and even pitiful eyes: I was already unlucky enough to be forced to marry a daughter of a concubine by his father, but now I am amnesia again and can't even write words. This guy's future life is definitely a big cup of tea.
"Father, my sixth brother is injured this time, and I have a responsibility as my brother." At this moment, the prince Li Chengqian jumped out and said with anger, "But Cheng Huailiang, as a minister, dared to commit crimes and beat the prince. He really ignored my royal family. My son suggested that Cheng Huailiang be severely punished!"
Li Chengqian's words immediately resonated with other princes. After all, they were all on the same front, and the prince's dignity could not be violated. Especially the words of King Yan Li You called the most and even shouted that Cheng Huailiang would be executed. This immediately aroused Li Yan's vigilance. Li You's eyes were full of resentment just now. Even if he heard that he had lost his memory, there was no need to execute the other party even in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family. There must be any conspiracy here!
Li Shimin was also a little hesitant. After all, Li Yan was his son. It was false to be beaten like this and not to feel sorry for him. However, Li Yan was wrong first in this matter. Moreover, Cheng Yaojin was not an ordinary meritorious person. He did not say that he was loyal to him, but he was one of the heroes who supported him ascended the throne. He was the most trusted general under his command. He could not impose cruel punishment anyway.
"Father, the sixth brother is wrong first in this matter. Cheng Huailiang took a little more action, but he took a word for literalism, and the Xiao family is really not suitable for intensiveness!" At this moment, Li Ke also stood up and said, winking at Li Yan while saying.
"The third brother is right. It's obvious that the sixth brother is wrong first. How can he be punished without any discrimination?" As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, a twelve or thirteen-year-old princess immediately jumped out and agreed, her face flushed red for some reason, and her mouth was pouting high.
As soon as this little princess, who didn't know which sister Li Yan was talking, she immediately turned her eyes from the hall to her. Everyone looked at him with a playful smile, and the young and young people couldn't help laughing out loud.
When Emperor Taizong Li Shimin heard the daughter's words, he laughed and said, "No wonder people say that girls are exaggerated. They know that they feel sorry for their future husband before they get married, hahaha..." As he said that, he burst into laughter.
Li Yan understood as soon as he heard this. This should be Princess Qinghe who was engaged to Cheng Huailiang. When she heard that she wanted to punish her future husband, she couldn't help but jump out. She was not as reserved as a girl. Judging from her bold and bold personality, Cheng Huailiang's second half of her life must have been very miserable.
Seeing Li Shimin laughing, the others didn't have to endure it hard, and they burst into laughter. Princess Qinghe was so angry that she was so angry that she started to fight with the sisters who were laughing the most. However, Li Yan felt very awkward, thinking that the rules of the palace were really unbearable. Even fathers and sons, laughter and crying depend on people's expressions.
After waiting for everyone to laugh almost, Li Yan said: "Father, this time I still have to thank Cheng Huailiang, the prospective brother-in-law." When talking about the word "predictive brother-in-law", Li Yan took a special look at Qinghe, which caused the little girl to roll her eyes.
"Oh? He hurt you, you actually want to thank him. Why is that?" Li Shimin had a smile on his face. He turned to him when he heard Li Yan's words, staring at Li Yan with sharp eyes, as if observing whether Li Yan said this sentence out of sincerity or falsehood. Others also looked at Li Yan curiously. The little girl Qinghe opened her big shiny eyes and looked up and down at her sixth brother, as if she was the first time she saw him.
"Father, my son-in-law, after waking up this time, although I can't remember what happened before, I still learned some of my previous bad deeds from others. I felt deeply ashamed. I made up my mind to be a new person and resolutely change my previous bad habits. Even if I can't become a wise king for a generation, I must never be embarrassed for my royal family!" Li Yan said with great righteousness and took out all the skills of writing examinations when he was in elementary school. Anyway, I can't die if I say a few good words.
In fact, Li Yan said that these things have his own plans. He is no longer the original Li Yan. His behavior is definitely very different from before. Although he can be concealed by amnesia, too much changes will inevitably arouse others' suspicion. For example, Li Yan is confident that his character must be much better than the Li Yan before, and he will definitely not be able to do anything to bully men and dominate women, so let's put it here today: I plan to change my previous mistakes and become a new person. Don't be too surprised if there is any difference from before!
"Uh?" Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at his son up and down. From the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with his son. Now he finally understood that Li Yan had no previous impetuousness and recklessness, and his words and deeds became polite, as if he had become a person. If abscess can really transform a person, then he would rather his son's abscess is never good.
The princes and princesses around him also looked at Li Yan with surprise. Most of them had the same idea in their hearts: it seems that Li Yan's head is really broken, otherwise how could he say such words? Even Li Ke had the same idea. Although he had seen Li Yan last time, he kept thinking about Li Yan's trip to Yizhou, so he didn't pay much attention to Li Yan's changes.
"Okay, you can correct mistakes. It's great to be good. If you forget the past, you will forget it. It doesn't matter if you can't write. You are still young now. From tomorrow on, you will go to elementary school with your younger brothers and sisters to start learning again." Li Shimin carefully observed Li Yan's expression. After watching for a long time, he found that he didn't seem to be lying. He was a little happy in his heart. So he encouraged a few words and made arrangements for Li Yan's future life. The so-called elementary school is similar to the elementary school in later generations. It was first established by Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang. It is full of royal family and meritorious officials. Generally speaking, the princes and princesses have to enter elementary school to study at the age of six, and when they graduate at the age of ten, they start to carry out secondary and advanced education. Therefore, the students in the elementary school are all little kids under the age of ten.
When the brothers and sisters around him heard that Li Yan was going to study in elementary school, they immediately burst into laughter. After all, Li Yan was already fourteen years old, and it was funny to study with a bunch of little kids every day.
"Father! I'm fourteen years old..." Li Yan wanted to argue a few words, hoping to dispel Comrade Li's irresponsible idea. However, Li Shimin interrupted Li Yan with a wave of his hand: "I have decided, I'll go immediately tomorrow!"
As one of the greatest emperors in history, the imperial aura on his body was not overwhelming. Li Yan no longer had the courage to say anything, so he could only nod his head honestly, causing another burst of laughter behind him.
Next, Li Yan accompanied Li Shimin to watch the brothers and sisters write. Among the people present, except for the two little princesses who had just turned one year old, Li Yan was the only one who was illiterate. Speaking of which, the princesses received strict education. Everyone wrote good writing. Not to mention the older ones, even the three-year-old Princess Jinyang could write, and each stroke was decent, which made Comrade Li praise him fiercely.
Princess Jinyang is named Mingda, and her nickname is Yizi. She is the daughter of Empress Changsun. She is very well-behaved and cute, and is deeply loved by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. Because she has been weak and sick since childhood, she gave the nickname Yizi, meaning the little female rhino. I hope she can be as strong as a rhino. Unfortunately, Princess Jinyang died of illness at the age of twelve in history. For this reason, Li Shimin couldn't eat for a month and was weak and almost died. It can be seen that the little princess' status in Li Shimin's heart.
After receiving the praise, Xiao Yizi was very excited to give Li Yan the words she wrote as a thank you. Thanks to Li Yan's recommendation, her mother's illness began to improve. At the same time, she naively hoped that the sixth brother would find a few more famous doctors so that her mother would recover faster.
He was so filial at such a young age that he caused the fatherly love of Comrade Li to break out. He held Xiao Yizi and refused to let go, left their sons and daughters, and took Xiao Yizi to meet Queen Changsun. He probably wanted Queen Changsun to feel the filial piety of her biological daughter.
After Li Shimin left, the princess and the princesses also parted. Li Ke and Li Yan went to visit Concubine Yang together. Li Yan was also very curious about this mother who had never met. Whether it was official history or unofficial history, there were very few records of this princess of the previous dynasty. During the days of coming to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan was constantly concerned by this mother's mother. Today, he could finally meet Concubine Yang, who was fascinated by history.
