"Brother-in-law, I want to go to the greenhouse and see the flowers." Xiao Sizi said coquettishly while holding Qin Hao's neck.
"Let's finish eating first and then go." Li Lizhi reached out to take her sister.
Qin Hao smiled at her: "Xiao Sizi wants to go to the greenhouse, so let's go to the greenhouse to eat together."
"Oh, let's go to the greenhouse." Xiao Sizi clapped her hands and narrowed her eyes happily.
It was freezing cold outside, but it was as warm as spring inside the greenhouse. When the little Sizi saw the various flowers and plants in the greenhouse, she smiled from ear to ear, and her two round eyes became crescent-shaped.
Qin Hao and Li Lizhi ignored her and allowed her to have fun. Even though she was favored by Li Shimin and his wife, she felt somewhat depressed in the heavily guarded inner courtyard of the palace. Only when she got to Qin Hao could she feel free
Playing recklessly without scruples.
As soon as breakfast was served here, Li Lizhi was about to ask Xiao Sizi to eat with her, but found that her face was pale and she was clutching her chest, looking very uncomfortable.
"Sizi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Lizhi's scream also alarmed Qin Hao. When he stepped forward to take a look, Qin Hao immediately picked up the little Sizi and put it on his lap, and put his hand on her wrist.
"Husband, what's wrong with Sizi?"
Qin Hao frowned: "Some hypoxia should be caused by poor air circulation in the greenhouse, but normal and healthy people should not have such symptoms unless..."
"Unless what?" Li Lizhi hugged little Sizi and was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.
"It could be a heart leak."
"Heart leak?" Li Lizhi's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she almost fell down: "How could it be like this? Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and call the imperial doctor!"
Qin Hao stopped her: "Don't worry, little Sizi will be fine for the time being. You take her back to her room to rest for a while, and I'll go to the academy to ask Taoist Master Sun to come."
"Yes, yes, Divine Doctor Sun's medical skills will surely cure Si Zi."
After Li Lizhi left the greenhouse with little Sizi in her arms, Qin Hao also rode on Chiyue and galloped all the way to the academy. Sun Simiao was boiling medicine in the pharmacy. Before he could say hello, he was pulled away by Qin Hao. The two rode on the same horse and drove all the way.
Arrive at the Hou Mansion.
Just as Sun Simiao was checking Xiao Sizi's pulse, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin also arrived. Empress Changsun, who was usually dignified, now looked panicked, and Li Shimin also looked anxious.
"Li Zhi, Xiao Sizi, what's going on?"
Li Lizhi told what happened while shedding tears: "It's all my fault. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Si Zi enter the greenhouse."
"Okay, stop crying, it's not your fault..."
While speaking, Sun Simiao had already let go of Xiao Sizi's wrist, shook his head and sighed under the earnest looks of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
The group of people came to the outhouse, and Sun Simiao slowly spoke.
"The Marquis of Qin's judgment is correct. It is indeed a heart arrhythmia."
Queen Changsun's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. The muscles on Li Shimin's face also twitched violently several times. He suppressed the grief in his heart and said to Sun Simiao.
"Miracle Doctor Sun is known as Hua Tuo in this world, so he will definitely be able to cure the little Sizi, right?"
However, Sun Simiao shook his head again: "Heart leakage has been a terminal disease since ancient times. It cannot be cured by human beings. Please forgive me for my incompetence."
Now Empress Changsun fainted and the scene became even more chaotic. In the end, it was Sun Simiao who gave Empress Changsun a few injections to wake her up.
Qin Hao patted Li Lizhi on the shoulder and sighed secretly. Heart leakage was actually a heart disease. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in the 21st century with advanced medicine, it was one of the most difficult diseases with a very high mortality rate.
"Miracle Doctor Sun, is there really nothing we can do?" Queen Changsun finally calmed down at this time.
Sun Simiao pondered for a long time: "The only solution for now is conservative treatment. However, the heart is the first of the five internal organs. If the heart artery is blocked, as the age increases, the blood and qi will definitely be blocked. I am afraid that I will not survive until my hair age."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun fell into despair and cried bitterly while hugging Li Lizhi. Li Shimin clenched his fists with both hands and tears welled up in his eyes.
After Qin Hao heard Sun Simiao's words, his heart moved.
"Daozhang Sun, is Si Zi's heart leakage just a blockage of the heart veins or a rupture of the heart veins?"
Sun Simiao said sternly: "If the heart pulse is broken, Princess Jinyang may not survive until now. The heart veins should be blocked, causing the blood to not flow smoothly to the heart. Now Princess Jinyang is still young and can barely support herself. If she grows ten years old,
I'm afraid the burden will never be more unbearable."
"In other words, as long as Sizi's heart artery is blocked, she can return to normal?" Qin Hao confirmed again.
"That's right, it's just that the heart is blocked. How can I clear it?" Sun Simiao looked at Qin Hao in confusion.
Queen Changsun and Li Shimin's eyes lit up when they heard this. If there is anyone in this world who can make them believe in miracles, it must be Qin Hao and Yun Ye.
From the time they were born, from the method of making salt to the potato yield of 50 shi per acre, to the techniques of investigating objects taught in the academy, they had never dared to think about it before.
"Zihan, what tricks did your master leave behind? As long as I can save Sizi, I will do it at any cost!" Li Shimin said firmly.
Empress Changsun also grabbed Qin Hao's hand and said sadly: "Zihan, I know you have the ability to draw blood and kill people. As long as you can save Sizi, even if you let me die, I am willing to exchange my life for it."
"
"Your Majesty, I don't need to be like this. Since I married a beauty, Sizi is no different from my own sister. Naturally, I will do my best to treat you. However, I have only heard this method mentioned once by my master and have never used it before. And...
.”
"And what?"
Li Lizhi looked at Qin Hao nervously, with both earnestness and worry. She had her sister on one side and her husband on the other. She didn't want to see either of them hurt.
"This method cannot be accomplished overnight. It is best to let Si Zi live here with me from now on."
After hearing Qin Hao's words, Li Lizhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were also relieved.
Sun Simiao asked eagerly: "Qin Hou, is it really possible to cure heart leakage?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After being in contact with him for so long, Sun Simiao knew very well that Qin Hao was not the kind of person who kept secrets, so he didn't care and asked directly.
Qin Hao didn't talk nonsense, he just put his hand on Sun Simiao's shoulder, and used his true energy to swim through his meridians for a small week.
Li Shimin and others looked at the two of them with doubts on their faces. If Yuan Tiangang did this, Li Shimin would definitely take this guy out and kill him immediately, but he knew Qin Hao's character well.
Wait patiently.
After a long time, Qin Hao withdrew his hand, and Sun Simiao let out a long breath, with a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"This method may really be able to cure Princess Jinyang's heart arrhythmia, but unfortunately, the only one in the world who can do this is the Marquis of Qin."
Qin Hao raised his hand to Sun Simiao and said, "We still need Taoist Master Sun's help."
"It's natural."
Upon seeing this, Empress Changsun stepped forward and held Qin Hao's hand firmly: "Zihan, I'll leave everything to you."
"You should do your best."
From then on, Xiao Sizi lived in Qin Hao's house. Every morning Qin Hao would push her to activate her blood circulation. Before going to bed at night, he would use Qi to sort out the meridians in her body. Since Xiao Sizi was still too young, Qin Hao also
Don't dare to use too much force, just do it slowly.
Fortunately, little Sizi has a cheerful nature, so he is not too scared. On the contrary, he feels that staying outside the palace is much more interesting than inside.
........
In the first month of the eighth year of Zhenguan, under the instruction of Li Shimin, the Ministry of Civil Affairs conducted a comprehensive inventory of the 23 counties under the jurisdiction of Chang'an. It was said to be an inventory, but in fact, it sent a hundred academy students to each county to collect data, such as population
, commodity prices, grain production, etc.
There was a lot of discussion about Li Shimin's move from the outside world, and the wealthy families were even more anxious. Many ministers in the imperial court were also very confused.
However, Qin Hao knew that Li Shimin was fulfilling his promise. After implementing the official reform system, he was going to attack taxes again.
The Tang Dynasty was not rich, it could even be said to be poor. Even after having potatoes in the past two years, the grain harvest had increased a lot, but the treasury was still empty.
The army must be raised, the salaries of court officials must be paid, and the rewards of royal nobles must be paid, all of which must come from taxation.
The people are too poor and cannot collect much tax from them, so they can only find ways through commercial tax.
Li Shimin's action is to first use the 23 counties under Chang'an as a pilot to carry out commercial and tax reform. If the pilot is effective, it will be extended to the entire Tang Dynasty bit by bit.
The entire winter of the eighth year of Zhenguan was undoubtedly long and torturous for the magistrates of the 23 counties under the jurisdiction of Chang'an.
At first, they thought that the students who had not yet graduated from the academy should be easy to fool, but when they actually came into contact with these students, they soon discovered that these children were like monsters.
Tang Law is very familiar with it, and if there is any flaw, they will find it and record it in the record.
It wasn't until the third month of Zhenguan, when the academies opened, that the county magistrates finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent these "plague gods" away.
But soon most of them were no longer happy. According to data collected by academy students, 17 of the 23 county magistrates were rated C-level, four counties were rated D-level, and two were rated D.
There is no one in Class B or Class A.
Li Shimin was also a bit worried about his face. If it was like this at the emperor's feet, wouldn't it be even more shocking in other places?
This also made Li Shimin firm up his determination to reform. The prosperous age he wanted was by no means a whitewashed prosperous age. He wanted the people of the Tang Dynasty to have a roof over their heads, have enough food and clothing, and be warm. That would be called a peaceful and prosperous age!
As a result, the academy was expanded again, this time under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry. All the land at the foot of Jade Mountain was included in the scope of the academy. If the academy was just a small town before, after this expansion, the size of the academy has become larger than
Last city.
Not surprisingly, the expansion of the academy was naturally accompanied by an expansion of enrollment. According to Li Shimin's idea, the academy currently enrolls less than 400 students each year, which is too few. Such a vast land in the Tang Dynasty requires many outstanding officials to manage, and
He is not a conservative king. Under his leadership, the Tang Dynasty will definitely open up a larger territory.
Enrollment must be expanded!
As a result, Yushan Academy admitted a thousand students in the public examination in September. Li Shimin stood on the city gate and looked at the crowds of people on Zhuque Street watching the results release. He couldn't help but be high-spirited and shouted: All the talents in the world will come to me.
middle.
However, Li Shimin's good mood only lasted until the winter of the eighth year of Zhenguan.
An urgent military situation came from the front, and Tuyuhun gathered an army to invade Liangzhou.
At the court meeting, Cheng Yaojin and other generals fought bravely to take the lead. The Tang Dynasty had been quiet for the past two years, so idle that their bones were rusty, but there was another war.
And what's very interesting is that this time even Fang Xuanling and other civil servants who had always opposed the war did not say a word.
The reason for their silence is also very simple. The grain and grass in the granary are almost full. Especially potatoes are not as durable as wheat and rice, so some must be consumed quickly.
The civil servants and military generals all agreed to fight, so there was nothing to say. In October of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the general manager, Hou Junji, Li Daliang, and Li Daozong, the king of the city, divided their troops into three groups to attack Tuyuhun.
In March of the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Tang army defeated Tuyuhun. In May, Li Jing pacified Tuyuhun on the West Sea, captured Murong Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun, and destroyed Tuyuhun in just half a year.
For a time, various nomadic tribes around the Tang Dynasty came forward one after another to express their surrender, fearing that Li Shimin would be unhappy one day and send an army to wipe out them all.
However, just when the Tang Dynasty was preparing to welcome the returning army with a grand celebration, an accident disrupted the celebration.
Li Yuan is dead.
Although Li Yuan has been out of the political stage for many years, as the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his biological father, Li Shimin still gave him the highest standard of funeral.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And for a whole year, the palace did not hold a banquet.
By the tenth year of Zhenguan, Xiao Sizi's condition had improved greatly. According to Sun Simiao, in another two years, her blocked heart veins would be completely unblocked.
Perhaps because she felt the magic of true energy, Xiao Sizi became very interested in Taoist cultivation of both life and life, and kept pestering Qin Hao to teach her.
Qin Hao didn't hide it for himself, so he taught her some basic training methods. Not to mention that this girl looked weak and weak, she was really able to endure hardships when practicing, and with her extremely high understanding, she got started in just one year.
.
Queen Changsun saw that her health was getting better and better, so she did not interfere.
However, Li Shimin summoned Qin Hao into the palace afterwards.
"Zihan, is there a way to live forever in this world?"
Qin Hao was shocked. Since ancient times, emperors have had the tradition of seeking immortality. It is obvious that Li Shimin is not exempt from this custom.
"I don't know."
"I don't know?" Li Shimin was slightly startled.
Qin Hao did not hide anything: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the technique I am practicing now is indeed somewhat unusual. However, if it is to say that I can live forever, I cannot do it for the time being, and I am not sure whether I can do it in the future."
Li Shimin was obviously a little disappointed, and then asked: "Can Master Xiaoyaozi live forever?"
"When the master passed away, my junior brother and I were both present, and the body was also cremated by us. It must have no immortality."
"Then who has more profound skills, you or your master?"
"Now it seems that my skill is not inferior to that of my master."
"Oh? Can I practice your Kung Fu?"
"Your Majesty is willing to learn, and I will obey your orders."
Qin Hao's heart moved. According to the history books, Li Shimin was only fifty-two years old when he died. If he was given another twenty years, what kind of prosperity would the Tang Dynasty be like?
