Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

When everyone heard the news, they all showed expressions of shock on their faces.

Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "After the Emperor's Fengshan ceremony, won't he lead the civil and military officials to tour Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qizhou and other places?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to return to Chang'an right after the Fengshan ceremony?"

This kind of itinerary planned in advance will not be easily changed unless there is an unexpected major event.

And my father is so anxious to return to Chang'an now, I'm afraid something big has happened.

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty suffered from severe rheumatism on the second day of Fengshan. Not only did he have a splitting headache, but he also vomited several times!"

"In addition, the Secretary General Yan Shigu is critically ill, and the Minister of the Central Secretariat Cen Wenben is seriously ill!"

what!

Your Majesty is suffering from a serious stroke?

Is Yan Shigu critically ill? Is Cen Wenben seriously ill?

When everyone heard the news, their mouths opened wide and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Li Chengqian asked anxiously, "How is Father's condition now?"

For him, the serious illness of Yan Shigu and Cen Wenben was not a big deal. After all, these two people were just neutral ministers, and their life or death did not have much impact on him.

And his father's physical condition is closely related to him.

If Cen Wenben, who risked his life to advise Li Shimin, knew Li Chengqian's reaction was like this, he probably would not have said so many good things on his behalf.

The eunuch quickly replied: "Your Highness, although your Majesty's condition has improved, it cannot be cured for a while."

After he said this, he did not continue speaking, because he did not dare to say too much about His Majesty's health.

"call!"

Li Chengqian let out a long sigh, turned his head and looked at Du He, his eyes full of complexity.

I didn't expect that a good Fengshan sacrificial ceremony would turn out like this.

Du He said in a heavy tone: "Your Highness, since His Majesty will arrive in Luoyang City in five days, we must also make preparations in the next few days!"

"Your Majesty is surrounded by the Prince of Jin, the Duke of Zhao, the Duke of E, and a group of civil and military ministers to take care of him. There won't be any problems."

In addition to civil and military officials, many royal relatives also attended the Fengshan ceremony.

With people from various forces around, there is no need to worry too much about Li Shimin's safety.

Moreover, all aspects are favorable to Li Chengqian now. If Li Shimin unfortunately dies, Li Chengqian can rush back to Chang'an to ascend the throne.

It is obvious that Li Zhi, Zhangsun Wuji and others would not let Li Shimin die now. This is totally against their interests.

"it is good!"

Li Chengqian nodded, and then spoke to Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others.

"All of you go down and prepare in advance!"

Even though everyone was in turmoil, they also knew that they couldn't make any mistakes at this critical moment, otherwise they would die a miserable death.

Then Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and others came out together and bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian.

"I obey!"

After this group of officials with complicated expressions left, Li Chengqian continued to speak to the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Wait for me to write a letter, and you can bring it to His Majesty later!"

The Tang Dynasty also ruled the country with filial piety. As a son, Li Chengqian had to show filial piety in front of all the officials.

Otherwise, his father is now seriously ill, and if he does not say anything, it will easily cause criticism from civil and military officials.

It's always a good idea to say more if you care about your father.

Just as Li Chengqian was writing the letter furiously, Du He sat on a cushion at the side and frowned in deep thought.

In the original history, Li Shimin contracted rheumatism and various diseases. After the imperial physician's treatment was ineffective, he took elixirs indiscriminately, which eventually led to his death from poisoning.

Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Li Shimin has to take elixirs if his rheumatism cannot be cured.

If no other accidents occurred, it would probably be only four or five years before Li Shimin's death.

In the past few years, in addition to appeasing Li Chengqian's emotions and making him handle government affairs honestly, he also had to send people to keep an eye on people like Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

Just as Du He was thinking deeply, Li Chengqian wrote the letter and stamped it with the prince's seal, and then asked his servants to seal it.

"Deliver this letter to His Majesty as soon as possible!"

"Tell my father again that I am very worried about his health. Tell him to take good care of his health!"

The official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw that the prince had tears in his eyes when he spoke, and he was also deeply moved and replied.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely deliver the message and letter to you!"

With the departure of the eunuchs' officials, only Li Chengqian and Du He were left in the hall.

Li Chengqian, whose eyes were filled with tears, soon regained his calm expression and looked as if nothing had happened.

Faced with Li Chengqian's huge emotional change, even Du He almost dropped his jaw.

"Does Li Chengqian have such little affection for Li Shimin?"

Du He complained in his heart, then strode up to Li Chengqian, bent down and whispered.

"Your Highness, the wind disease is difficult to cure, and I'm afraid your Majesty won't live long!"

"In the past few years, Prince Jin, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others will definitely make small moves frequently. The more critical the moment is, the more you need to keep your composure!"

"Otherwise, your Majesty, who is sensitive in temperament, will be easily deceived by villains and make the wrong decision in the end!"

According to the original history, after Li Chengqian was demoted to a commoner for treason, Prince of Wei Li Tai had the best chance of ascending the throne, and Li Shimin also planned to pass the throne to him.

However, under the influence of Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, Li Tai was described as an unforgivable person.

So Li Shimin appointed Li Zhi, who was "cowardly", as the crown prince.

Although Li Chengqian was not demoted to a commoner for treason due to his own reasons, the fact that Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang supported Li Zhi did not change.

In order to prevent any unexpected events, Du He believes that it is most important to keep an eye on these people.

As for King Li Tai of Wei, he will definitely rebel this year!

Li Chengqian's hands were firmly grasping the sides of the chair, his face looking extremely serious.

After a moment of silence.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Du He, do we need to ask Hou Junji, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and Xi Jun to buy a few people to prepare in advance?"

"If the emperor father becomes seriously ill and his condition is difficult to cure, his temperament will definitely change drastically. I'm afraid the situation will change!"

Li Chengqian himself is a typical example. His personality changed drastically before and after he broke his leg, and he was still unable to achieve personal redemption.

Although he knew that his father was a wise and benevolent emperor, no one could predict what his father would become after he fell seriously ill.

Since Li Chengqian had a deep understanding of the deeds of the four princes, Fusu, Liu Ju, Liu Rong and Yang Yong, he discovered that the root of the change was the emperor himself.

It was their wise father who became suspicious at the last moment, which led to these four wise princes being unable to ascend the throne.

Li You shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the most urgent task is to keep calm!"

"If we let Hou Junji, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang prepare in advance, it will definitely touch your majesty's nerves, and the final result will be unfavorable to us."
