Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Li Chengqian noticed Li Junxian's gaze. Although he had already guessed the purpose of his father sending him here, his brows still frowned slightly.

His lame leg was his most sensitive spot, and Li Chengqian didn't like being stared at.

While Li Chengqian was silent, Li Junxian kept saluting.

"Cough cough~"

Du He coughed twice in a low voice.

Li Chengqian, who had been silent, was also awakened. After some inner adjustments, his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked knowingly, "General Li, there is no need to be polite. Is there something important that my father sent you here for?"

"Your Highness, when His Majesty heard that you were injured, he immediately sent me to lead the imperial physician to come."

"I am sorry that I am unfilial and have caused you, Father, to worry."

Although Li Chengqian said that he was unfilial, he was still happy in his heart.

At least in his father's heart, he still cares about him very much.

Li Junxian whispered, "Your Highness, the doctors are here. Do you need them to treat you now?"

Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at the two imperial doctors with gray beards, and his brows instantly frowned.

The originally gentle eyes became extremely sharp.

It was these two quack doctors who treated his injured leg several years ago, which eventually caused him to walk with a limp and almost ruined him.

I didn’t expect that these two quack doctors would dare to come here now!

Du He saw that Li Chengqian's face was not right, so he spoke quickly.

"General Li, Dr. Sun just gave the prince acupuncture and will come over at this time tomorrow to continue the treatment."

"You two imperial doctors have been traveling for several days. Why don't you go down and rest first and come back tomorrow?"

Li Chengqian was now like a volcano about to erupt. Du He was afraid that when the two imperial doctors examined his injured leg, the angry Li Chengqian would order them to be killed.

Seeing that the prince was fine, Li Junxian was not so anxious, so he clasped his fists respectfully and said.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave first. If you need anything, please send someone to serve me at any time."

He is worthy of being the commander of Li Shimin's personal guards who has served him for more than ten years without being replaced. He is humble and modest, and what he says does not make people feel offensive.

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Come here, take General Li down to have a good rest!"

"promise!"

The guard responded respectfully.

After Li Junxian, the imperial physician and others left, Li Chengqian stopped pretending and growled in a low voice.

"Du He, I want to kill these two quack doctors!"

"No."

"Why not?"

Because of anger, the veins on Li Chengqian's neck popped out.

Du He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the imperial doctors are good at internal medicine, but not at orthopedic surgery."

"The reason why the imperial physician couldn't cure your leg at that time was related to their own medical skills, not because they didn't intend to cure your leg."

"Why are you so obsessed with killing two innocent people?"

Li Chengqian, who was originally furious, calmed down a little after hearing Du He's words.

Seeing that Li Chengqian remained silent, Du He continued his analysis.

"Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty emphasizes governing the country by law and propriety. The first thing that court officials and the people require of the monarch is generosity."

"If you attack the imperial physician, the civil and military officials will think you are cruel and bloodthirsty, and I'm afraid they will no longer support you."

"Whether the King of Wei still has a chance, let's not talk about it for now."

"Prince Jin is an image of a prince who values filial piety and observes etiquette. He is also the legitimate son and can completely replace you as the crown prince!"

Li Chengqian now has everything going for him. As long as he doesn't do anything ridiculous, it will be a natural thing for him to ascend the throne.

If we act recklessly at this critical juncture, I am afraid these advantages will disappear in an instant.

"Ninth brother?"

The first time Li Chengqian heard Du He mention his ninth brother Li Zhi, his expression was full of astonishment.

He asked doubtfully, "Du He, can your ninth brother still pose a threat to my position?"

Li Zhi is only 17 years old this year and has no foundation in the court. How could he pose a threat to his position as crown prince?

Li Chengqian had never thought about this question.

Du He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Jin is not a threat to you now, but if you make a big mistake like the King of Wei."

"The King of Jin, who has the status of heir to the throne, can replace you!"

Hearing that his ninth brother would pose a threat to him, Li Chengqian no longer dared to show off and calmed down from his anger.

After a moment of silence.

"Whoo~"

Li Chengqian let out a long sigh and said with a serious expression.

"Du He, thanks to you for reminding me in time, otherwise it would have almost caused a disaster."

"Ever since the King of Wei was driven away to his fiefdom, I have become a little too proud of myself!"

No wonder my father cried for several days after the death of the remonstrant Wei Zheng.

It is easy to make wrong decisions if there is no one around to remind and correct your mistakes.

Du He smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to dwell on the past. The current situation is very favorable for you anyway."

"While you are recovering from your injuries, you might as well think more about how to govern the Tang Dynasty after you ascend the throne."

Forehead!

Li Chengqian said in a daze: "Du He, isn't it your job as the right-hand man of the Tang Dynasty to give me advice?"

You are so good, Du He, you actually turned against Tian Gang and made him, the future king, do the work of a minister!

Du He couldn't help but curl her lips as she looked at Li Chengqian, who was sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused.

This guy is becoming harder and harder to fool!

...

The next day.

Morning time.

Sun Simiao was still repeating yesterday's actions, giving acupuncture to Li Chengqian's injured leg.

The two imperial doctors stood aside respectfully like apprentices, learning secretly with their eyes wide open.

An imperial physician said excitedly: "Dr. Sun, your acupuncture technique is truly amazing! The treatment effect is so good!"

They had been observing Li Chengqian since Sun Simiao was giving him acupuncture, and judging from Li Chengqian's complexion and pulse, they believed that Sun Simiao's acupuncture was very effective.

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "I have written a book called Mingtang Acupuncture and Moxibustion Diagram. If you two imperial doctors don't mind, you can take it to read in the next few days."

"Thank you, Dr. Sun!"

The two imperial doctors did not care about the hierarchy of their status and they knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Simiao together.

Sun Simiao said repeatedly: "There is no need for you two doctors to do this. Get up quickly!"

An imperial physician said solemnly, "Dr. Sun, you have taught us the Mingtang Acupuncture Diagram, and you are our teacher!"

"It is only natural for a disciple to kowtow to his teacher."

They guard their medical skills very closely, only passing them on to their offspring and disciples, and will not easily show them to outsiders.

I didn’t expect Sun Simiao to have such a broad mind!

Du He's eyes lit up. He had been worrying about how to keep Sun Simiao in Chang'an, and now he finally had a reason.

"Dr. Sun, your medical skills are so superb, and you are willing to teach others. Why don't you stay in Chang'an and teach medicine?"
