The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1014: Saving Li Shimin (Part )
Looking at Fang Xuanling's face, which was older than his own, Li Shimin said with emotion: "Xuanling, you have worked hard for me and the Tang Dynasty all your life. Now that I am old, I can't enjoy the happiness, and I still need you to worry about me. I really feel guilty for you!"

"Your Majesty, don't say that. Meeting you in this life is my greatest blessing."

Scenes from the past came to my mind, including the meeting between the monarch and his minister when they were young, the life and death relationship at Xuanwu Gate, and the mutual achievements over the past twenty years.

At this last moment of life and death, Fang Xuanling was also moved by his true feelings: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, when the prince stabilizes the situation, I will withdraw from the court, resign from all my positions, and downplay my existence. I will keep an eye on Duke Zhao from the dark. If he is wholeheartedly assisting the prince, then I will be relieved."

"If he deceives the emperor and abuses his power to seize power, I will take the emperor's will and call on all the officials to punish him. I will definitely protect the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded with relief. Just like Emperor Jing of Han, Li Shimin entrusted the future of the court to Changsun Wuji, but he did not dare to trust him completely. He left a will to Fang Xuanling to restrain Changsun Wuji at the critical moment.

Next, Li Shimin met with Zhangsun Wuji again, and again gave him heartfelt comfort, asking him to protect Li Chengqian.

Finally, Li Shimin met his children again, and after giving them instructions, he left Li Yan alone and handed over his last few trump cards to Li Yan, including the Hundred Cavalry Division and his last guard force, the Black Armor Guard.

This is a guard force that was transformed from the Xuanjia Army that Li Shimin used to dominate the world. It has strong combat power and is not under the management of the court. It has a size of 5,000 people. Every year, as many as are laid off, they are supplemented by the elite from all over the country.

Their salaries and expenses were also paid from Li Shimin's inner treasury. They were Li Shimin's personal armed forces. They were the last force used to protect himself and were never made public, so no one knew how many people they had and how powerful they were.

They didn't even know of their existence. Close ministers like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji might have vaguely known of the existence of such a group of people, but they never dared to ask.

This concerns the emperor’s last safety line, who dares to touch it?

After explaining all these to Li Yan, Li Shimin began to talk about the potential hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty, from the aristocratic families, to the Right Wise King of the Turks, from the Tang Dynasty itself, to the princes of the Western Regions, and finally he even started talking about his own youth.

Gradually, Li Shimin's eyes began to wander, his speech became unclear, and his expression seemed to be in a fog.
Seeing this, Li Yan slowly placed his hand on Li Shimin's pulse. A trace of his internal energy silently flowed into his body, and Li Shimin fell into a coma.

Afterwards, Li Yan mobilized his internal strength with all his strength to disperse the condensed qi and blood in Li Shimin's body, regulate Li Shimin's body, and finally gathered a group of imperial qi bestowed by heaven into Li Shimin's heart to protect it.

The originally weak heartbeat became strong again.

Seeing that Li Shimin showed signs of recovery after such stimulation, Li Yan hurriedly separated a stream of internal energy and entered the Baihui and Fengchi points on his head, severing several important meridians. He used his internal force to seal Li Shimin's consciousness, causing him to fall into a long-term coma.

Due to long-term fatigue, excessive physical overdraft, and excessive intake of "elixir of life", Li Shimin's body was seriously damaged and had long since declined. It would take several years to fully recover.

Especially in the last few months, it is best to fall into a deep sleep and recuperate.

If he got better, Li Shimin would have to worry about state affairs, deal with memorials, and take the "elixir of life", and Li Yan, as a son, could not stop him. Therefore, the best way was to let him have a good sleep.

After Li Shimin fell into a deep sleep, Li Yan left the bedroom.

When everyone saw Li Yan coming out, they were ready to burst into tears, but Li Yan directly said to the doctors: "Father has fallen asleep, he is not dead. I have learned some medical skills before, and I found that Father's breathing is relatively stable and his heartbeat is still normal."

"But I am not very knowledgeable and don't understand what this means. I would like to trouble a few imperial doctors to go in and take a look."

Wei Jiyuan rushed in with his subordinates from the Imperial Medical Bureau. After taking his pulse, they were all dumbfounded. Li Shimin was clearly on his last legs just now, but after all this trouble, his condition had improved.

All the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau concluded that Li Shimin would not die for a while, but this was different from the judgment of everyone just now.

You have to know that this is the emperor. Just now, we and others clearly said that the emperor was dying. Now the situation has stabilized again. Should we tell the people outside that we made a wrong judgment?

If one makes a wrong judgment when dealing with the Emperor, wouldn't that be a grave crime punishable by the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan?

Everyone gathered together and talked about it. Outsiders thought they were discussing Li Shimin's illness, but in fact they were discussing how to get through this difficult time.

Seeing that everyone looked anxious, Wei Jiyuan rolled his eyes and immediately said with a look of surprise: "Oh, I remember now. It seems that the pill must have worked?"

"Elixir? What elixir?"

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Wei Jiyuan quickly explained: "To be honest, before my father passed away, he left behind a rejuvenation pill. It is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but because there is only one pill and it has been a long time, I am not sure if it still works?" "When your majesty fell into a coma earlier, this old minister was concerned about the safety of the emperor, so I took the initiative to give the emperor the pill. I thought it was the pill that worked and saved the emperor's life."

"Rejuvenation Pill?"

Another imperial physician looked at Wei Jiyuan with surprise and suspicion: "What kind of medicine is this? How come I have never heard of it? And weren't we together just now? When did you give it to the emperor?"

Before the old man finished speaking, another man clapped his hands and smiled, "Indeed, Old Li, you were just busy making the soup. Old Wei did give the emperor a pill, and he even asked for my opinion before that."

"Although this is a bit risky, for the sake of the life of the Emperor, I will not hesitate even if my head is chopped off, let alone such a small risk."

As soon as this person finished speaking, several other old men also reacted.

Bullshit rejuvenation pill?

It is obvious that he is not very clear about the current condition of the retired emperor, and he had said those words to the outside world before. Now he has found such a reason. On the one hand, it is to explain his previous words, and on the other hand, it is also to take the credit of saving the retired emperor to himself.

Anyway, judging by his current pulse condition, Li Shimin will not die for a while. If he takes good care of himself in the future, he may be able to recover.

Stealing credit, this is blatant and shameless stealing of credit
After realizing what was happening, several old men began to join in the fight for credit. Finally, seeing that everyone was still arguing, Wei Jiyuan made the final decision: "Ah, I am old and may have remembered it wrongly. I remember that my rejuvenation pill was put in the ginseng soup and boiled by everyone together."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stroked their beards, nodded with satisfaction, and were all happy.

Finally, Wei Jiyuan called Li Yan in alone and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask, did Your Majesty give anything to the Emperor just now in the palace?"

When Wei Jiyuan said this, a group of imperial doctors looked at Li Yan nervously.

Li Yan knew what was going on, but he didn't want to embarrass the doctors, so he said innocently, "The emperor told me about some military and national affairs. After a long time, I became thirsty, so I took the ginseng soup on the table and gave it to the emperor to drink as water."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, all the imperial doctors were overjoyed and they all spoke out the reasons prepared by Wei Jiyuan. They also said that according to the unanimous diagnosis of the Imperial Medical Bureau, this rejuvenation pill, which was only one and had been handed down from an unknown time, pulled the emperor back from the gate of Hades.

However, the emperor was too weak and fell into a coma. It was a form of self-protection for his body. As for when he would wake up, it depended on God's will.

Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This group of old naughty boys, all over fifty years old, stole his credit without saying a word.

Of course, Li Yan also understood the difficulties faced by these imperial doctors and did not make things difficult for them. He was still the culprit!
Since this group of imperial doctors had put the blame on themselves, Li Yan didn't need to think of any other solutions. He just went with the flow and pretended that he knew nothing. Even if someone from aristocratic families investigated afterwards, these shameless imperial doctors would be there to answer.

Li Yan pretended to be concerned and asked some more questions. After confirming that Li Shimin was not in danger for the time being, he said to the group of doctors with a happy face: "Thanks to you all, my father survived this death."

"Although it was a bit risky, in the end the benefits outweighed the disadvantages."

"Decree that every imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and 100 pieces of silk. In addition, each of the people present will be promoted by one rank."

The imperial doctors were overjoyed and knelt down to receive the emperor's order: "Your Majesty, we thank you. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long, long live the emperor."

Both parties were very happy. The imperial doctors were happy because they had deceived the emperor, took the credit for themselves, and were rewarded. Li Yan was happy because once the reward was given, the matter would be a done deal. If there were any more setbacks, the imperial doctors would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

For the sake of their own lives and property, they would not reveal their doubts to anyone.

"Don't be too happy too early."

Li Yan shook his head, walked to the imperial couch and sat down, saying, "I will stay here to guard my father and wait for him to wake up. You can deal with the royal relatives and civil and military officials who were summoned by you under the pretext of being critically ill."

Li Yan was also overwhelmed with how to deal with the situation afterwards, so he had no choice but to stay in Li Shimin's bedroom to "fulfill his filial piety."
