After Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke left, Li Shimin said: "Go and call the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Wei, and Li Qing to come over."
The waiters were sent out, and Changsun Wuji consciously acted as an errand boy and went outside to call for people.
Changsun Wugou said worriedly: "Erlang, you are not feeling well. Just see me. Don't get angry again."
Li Shimin comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life."
After a while, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and others filed in. Seeing that he was conscious and didn't look like he was dying, their worries were relieved.
"See Sage."
"No courtesy." Li Shimin lay on the bed, waved his hands and said, "You should have asked the imperial doctor about my illness, right?"
Fang Xuanling said respectfully: "Yes, the imperial doctor said that the saint suffered from wind dizziness due to his anger attacking his heart, and he needed to meditate for some time."
Li Shimin secretly cursed the quack doctor in his heart, and felt even more grateful that he had left Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke behind.
He said calmly: "Master Sun also made the same diagnosis and asked me to cultivate myself for half a month. There is a prescription on the table."
Fang Xuanling and others took a look at the table. Sure enough, there were two pages of paper on it, and the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.
Li Shimin continued: "In the next half month, the court will rely on you all to love me."
Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly said: "I dare not, this is a matter within the scope of my duties. Your Majesty, please rest assured and cultivate yourself."
Li Shimin added: "The expedition against Gaochang cannot be delayed. We must send out troops within five days. At that time, I will let the prince carry out the task for the army."
Hou Junji came out and said: "Here."
Li Shimin looked at him and said: "I can trust your military skills. Do it with confidence and boldness. Don't worry about the rear. I'm waiting to drink your celebration wine."
Hou Junji said excitedly: "Here, I will destroy Gaochang to repay the divine favor."
Li Shimin then said to others: "Everything in the DPRK should remain as usual."
"Here." Everyone said in unison.
Changsun Wujia reminded him at the right time: "Sage, it's time for you to rest."
Others said very wisely: "Your Majesty, please rest in peace and recuperate. I will take my leave."
Li Shimin waved his hand and everyone prepared to leave.
At this time, Yu Wenshiji suddenly remembered something and stopped and said: "Sage, Duke Xu and others are still kneeling outside Daxing Hall. What do you think should be done?"
Everyone was worried, fearing that Li Shimin would become angry again.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's expression was very calm and he said: "I'm fine now, let them go back. They are all important officials in the court, what are they talking about kneeling over there?"
Everyone was once again convinced that the emperor had not changed and was still as wise and benevolent.
Is this really the case? If they knew the truth, they might not think so.
If Li Shimin really just had a vertigo attack, he might have let it go so gently. But he had a cerebral hemorrhage, and if he didn't get timely treatment, he would be disabled or even die.
If he could still gently uncover it under such circumstances, he would not be a saint but a Virgin.
But those few people are all important ministers and cannot be dealt with easily. What's more, Gao Shilian is also Changsun Wugou's biological uncle and has been kind to her in raising her, so it is even more troublesome to deal with it.
So he just stabilized these people first and had enough excuses to deal with them after the incident.
Changsun Wugou knew his husband too well, and in his heart he hated and worried about his uncle.
I hate that he was so cautious at the critical moment. As the chief editor of the clan chronicle, there is no way he would not be aware of this sorting issue.
But he still pretended as if nothing had happened, not only passed the sorting, but also took it out and presented it to the emperor.
The reason is simple: I don't want to offend the nobles.
Under normal circumstances, Li Shimin would go back and revise the clan chronicles after reading them. At that time, they would follow the emperor's wishes and put the royal family and relatives in the front, and the nobles in the back.
Even if the nobles asked, they would be able to explain that it was not because we wanted to sort things out this way, but because His Majesty forced them to do so. It is not our fault.
If you don't believe me, go and ask around. In the first version, we ranked the nobles at the forefront. Your Majesty didn't agree and called back, so we changed it to this version.
It’s really not our fault.
Look, how perfect it is.
However, despite all their calculations, they failed to calculate one thing. Li Shimin had a physical problem. He suffered from high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage, which almost killed him.
If Li Shimin really had a problem, she wouldn't know how she would live.
Thinking that the culprit of all this was actually her uncle, how could she not hate him in her heart, even more than the average courtier.
Because there is also family affection and betrayal mixed in between.
But that was her uncle after all. He lost his father when he was young and was kicked out of the house by his half-brother. She and her mother and brother lived in her uncle's house.
Her uncle treated the brothers and sisters as if they were his own children, and hired famous teachers to teach them. This kind of upbringing could never be given up, so how could she not worry about this situation.
Husband and wife are of the same mind, she understands Li Shimin, and Li Shimin also understands her, and you can tell what she is worried about just by looking at her face.
Thinking of the couple's past, he sighed in his heart and couldn't bear it anymore, so he stretched out a hand to her.
Changsun Wugou quickly grabbed his hand, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Erlang, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "My head hurts, but it's bearable. Don't worry about Mr. Xu, I know what he really thinks."
"Although I wish I could kill him to relieve my hatred, he is your biological uncle after all, and I cannot ignore your feelings."
Changsun Wugou's heart was filled with panic, tears fell uncontrollably, and he swallowed: "Thank you, thank you, you are so good to me, how can I repay you."
Li Shimin was also very sad and said: "Don't cry, I start to feel uncomfortable when you cry."
"Jing Ke just said that I should thank you for giving birth to little Sizi. I really want to thank you. If there was no little Sizi, I wouldn't know what to use to tie him up."
"Without him and Angong Niuhuang Wan, I probably wouldn't have been able to survive this time. So, we husband and wife support each other, and there is no talk of repaying or not repaying."
Changsun Wugu felt better, wiped his tears and said, "Erlang, have you ever wondered why Jing Ke likes little Sizi so much? She is only five years old."
Li Shimin said: "I have thought about it a long time ago, it should be family love."
"I don't know how he lives in the family, but he has never talked about his parents, brothers and sisters. I think they are all gone."
"When I was ten years old, I was sent to a completely unfamiliar place called Datang by my tribe. There was not a single familiar person in sight..."
"So he lacks family love and care in his heart. This kind of care cannot be made up for by Sun Zhenren alone."
"At this time, you have become his aunt and given him care. He should regard you as a mother in his heart, and his feelings for Xiao Sizi are more like a brother to a sister."
"It's just that he is still young and can't tell his true thoughts. When we married Xiao Sizi to him, he thought it was a love between a man and a woman."
Changsun Wugou said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, and that should be the case."
Li Shimin continued: "A person with a defective mind like him will be extremely paranoid once he identifies something, and even ten cows can't pull him back."
"He poured all his feelings into Xiao Sizi. Now Xiao Sizi is everything to him, so he said he was willing to give everything in exchange for Xiao Sizi."
Changsun Wugou said with some disapproval: "Wu Shu, how do you explain it?"
Li Shimin said disdainfully: "Is she worthy of competing with Xiao Sizi? She is just Sun's wife, and her status in Jing Ke's mind may not be as high as that of Yi Nu."
Changsun Wugou thought about it and thought it made sense. Why should Wu Shu compare with his own daughter? He was completely overthinking.
While they were talking, Ren Feng came over and reported: "Sage, empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."
