As dusk approaches, the army is still traveling west.

The army was surrounded by more than a hundred people, each of whom was covered in fatigue, but they still followed the soldiers in front of them. They had entered a small desert, and if they did not follow the people who knew the way closely, they would be lost in the vast yellow sand.

The person in charge is Dai Ting.

Most of the team were brave men who had been on the battlefield. At first, they were quite contemptuous of Dai Ting. Their minds were full of the bright future drawn by Li Yuanying for them: gold, house, daughter-in-law and children!

Therefore, on the surface, he was just Li Yuanying's trustworthy man. But along the way, everyone admired this seemingly weak boy. Although he was young and a castrator, he never called him tired. On the way, there was a person who had been provoking him and got an acute illness. He was neither anxious nor impatient, nor left him alone, and asked someone for medicine to cure the other party's illness before he rushed to catch up with Hou Junji's army.

Now the burly man who is always by his side is the one who is in a critical condition. If someone dares to act without following the order, the man will whip the guy and want to have a fight with the other party. Dai Ting's attitude towards this burly man has not changed much. He still wears a mask every day and will only talk about it when he needs to divide the work.

After walking for more than two months, none of them were missing. The army ahead was a little behind, and there was nothing we could do about it. After all, not everyone could adapt to such a difficult long-distance marching.

At night, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun sat opposite each other and drank. When they mentioned the group of people following behind, Hou Junji said, "I thought they would retreat if they followed, but I didn't expect that they would be able to follow for so long. I saw that they might really go to Gaochang."

Xue Wanjun said: "It's only a hundred people, so it's okay to go with us. Is this a good idea? Otherwise, the war will be extremely dangerous, who would want to take risks?"

Hou Junji laughed and said, "Then let them go."

If it were Li Yuanying's only person, Hou Junji, wouldn't care at all, but there were people sent by His Majesty Li Er and his legitimate children. He still had to give His Majesty Li Er's face, so that people would occasionally report the situation of this group of people.

But, there is no need to be too concerned.

Xue Wanjun is right, what can a mere hundred people do?

...

Li Yuanying went back to sleep. He was really not interested in state affairs. He only heard it for a while and then fell asleep. He even treated His Majesty Li Er's legs as a pillow. When he was about to return to the palace, he still didn't want to wake up, so His Majesty Li Er picked him up and threw him into the car.

Li Yuanying was so tired that he was sleeping and was very happy, but Li Chengqian was not so easy to pass. After Li Chengqian returned, he was scolded again. His Majesty Li Er and Kong Yingda scolded him so much that he was not doing his job properly and was busy and busy making some roasted lamb. It would be better to read more books!

When Li Yuanying heard Li Zhi mention his tragic experience of his eldest nephew, he suddenly realized that these people were too much. He obviously ate it, but after a slightest touch, he actually settled the score again!

Li Yuanying slipped back to his residence and pondered the ink. With a big stroke, he drew a picture of "The King and the Minister sitting against each other and gnawing the sheep's hooves", and sneaked outside His Majesty Li Er's convention hall while the guards were not paying attention to it and posted it in a conspicuous place.

The ministers who were summoned to the meeting hall to speak on this day would pause before entering the door and stare at the painting posted outside. What is this? Although the painting is not very realistic, those who have seen the saint can recognize at a glance that it is His Majesty Li Er in the center! The other people who are eating with sheep's hooves are obviously Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji!

When did these people chew the sheep's hooves together and were drawn by someone?!

This question hovered in everyone's heart, but no one dared to ask His Majesty Li Er and the others directly. After all, these people are either kings of a country or important officials in the court, so how could they ask these gossips casually?

In the end, I noticed this strange painting when the guards changed shifts!

The guards quickly tore off the painting and went to the meeting hall to report the matter to His Majesty Li Er.

Fang Xuanling and the others arrived at the meeting hall in the morning and did not go out again, so naturally they didn't have the chance to see this painting. After taking the painting "The King and the Minister sit and eat the sheep's hooves" torn off by the guards, Fang Xuanling's face turned green and hurriedly presented it to His Majesty Li Er to show it!

His Majesty Li Er knew whose masterpiece was this with just a glance. His face suddenly turned dark and he asked someone to catch Li Yuanying in anger.

No wonder many ministers looked strange when they came in today. It turned out that Li Yuanying did such a good thing!

Li Yuanying and Yizi were looking forward to the planning of the Kuiyuan Garden. This Kuiyuan Garden was originally a planting sunflower. Now there were corn and peanuts, Li Yuanying asked Dong Xiaoyi to plant them together. In order to seek insurance, he asked Dong Xiaoyi to plant them in two fields so that they would die if they were sick.

As soon as he saw His Majesty Li Er sent someone over, Li Yuanying knew that the matter had been revealed. He was not panicked and left the excerpted corn planting guide and peanut planting guide for Yizi and the others to watch and play. He obediently followed the guards to the meeting hall to meet His Majesty Li Er.

When His Majesty Li Er saw Li Yuanying's obedient appearance, he became even more angry. He threw the "masterpiece" on the desk and asked, "What's this thing?!"

Li Yuanying ran to His Majesty Li Er calmly, spread the "masterpiece" wrinkled by His Majesty Li Er, and explained to His Majesty Li Er with great sincerity: "I was so happy yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, I kept thinking about eating roasted whole lamb, so I simply drew it! After I finished painting, I thought that Brother, you are so kind to me on weekdays, so I should give you this painting! But when I got here, I felt that you were busy with work and I shouldn't bother you, so I posted it outside, thinking that you would see it after you finish your work!" Li Yuanying said proudly, "Look, you've seen it now!"

His Majesty Li Er looked at the four kings and ministers who had no manners on the painting, and his face twitched twice, and sneered and scolded, "You can try another nonsense."

Li Yuanying shut up immediately.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him: "Tell me, what are you doing for painting this?"

"Yesterday you and Lao Kong and the others ate, why did you scold Chengqian?" Li Yuanying sat down next to His Majesty Li Er and raised his nephew openly. "Sage Kong said, don't do to others what you do not want others to do to you! You must also hate being scolded by others, why do you scold Chengqian at any time!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Chengqian is the prince, so you should pay attention to every word and action!"

Li Yuanying said boldly: "But isn't you the prince's elder brother?" He raised his head and looked straight at His Majesty Li Er, "You see, you are in your prime and don't even have white hair. You can live for at least a few decades. You should let Cheng Qian play enough first! Otherwise, he would have been so tired since he was a child, how uncomfortable!"

Facing Li Yuanying's black eyes, His Majesty Li Er was silent. Although he was only in his forties, the world was impermanent. Who could guarantee how many years he could live? His queen was only in her early thirties, so why didn't she leave behind a few young children and die?

His Majesty Li Er rarely spoke to Li Yuanying in a serious and serious tone: "Our Tang Dynasty will win the world soon, but we cannot govern the country immediately. I don't have to Chengqian to read the classics thoroughly, but he cannot spend all day hunting. This not only abandons his studies, but also disappoints the aspiring people in the world. Since Chengqian became the crown prince, he has to take on the responsibility of the crown prince." He said in a deep voice, "You only see that my white hair has not yet grown, but I don't know that I have been in a military life, and I have countless hidden injuries on my body. Not to mention decades, I am afraid that it will be with my father and your prince's sister-in-law in a long time. If Chengqian has been so absurd, how can you relieve me?"

Li Yuanying was stunned.

He thought of the death of his father and his sister-in-law.

Both of them were sick and couldn't afford to get sick after they got sick, and they never woke up again.

Li Yuanying said: "Can't it be cured?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "It has long been aged diseases and cannot be cured." This is also the reason why he often has to go out to escape the summer heat. The Daxing Palace left by the Sui Dynasty in summer is humid and hot, which can easily induce old diseases on his body.

Li Yuanying grabbed His Majesty Li Er's hand and said stubbornly: "The emperor's brother will definitely live a hundred years old healthy life!" He gave His Majesty Li Er's example, "Look at Mr. Xiao, he is 83 years old this year, so energetic! The emperor's brother will live to a hundred years old!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "If you make less trouble, I might be able to live a few more years."

Li Yuanying was a little sad. After talking to His Majesty Li Er, he ran back and thought for a long time, but he couldn't sleep until night. He tossed and turned on the couch for a long time, but finally couldn't help it. He got up and put on his clothes, and ran along the corridor to the East Palace.

It rains heavily in spring, and after the night comes, a drizzle falls, making the entire palace wet and misty.

When the people in the East Palace saw that Li Yuanying was coming, they hurriedly led him into the room. Li Chengqian was obviously punished. At this moment, he was still lit up a lamp in the study and copied books. When he heard that King Teng was coming, he was stunned for a moment and asked someone to lead Li Yuanying in quickly.

It was a little cold in February night. Seeing that Li Yuanying was wearing thin clothes and was wet with rain, Li Chengqian asked someone to bring hot soup over quickly. After giving the order, Li Chengqian asked Li Yuanying why he came over so late.

Li Yuanying said: "I can't sleep."

This is really strange to Li Yuanying. Li Chengqian has never heard of Li Yuanying when he couldn't sleep. Like yesterday, Li Yuanying fell asleep on his father's body. He didn't wake up even if his father threw him into the car. He slept until he returned to the palace! How could such a sleepy guy not be able to sleep?

Li Chengqi said: "How come you can't sleep?"

Li Yuanying said what His Majesty Li Er said to him during the day. No one would joke about life and death. His Majesty Li Er, the king of a country, did not know much, so Li Yuanying was both sad and scared. He said: "Is there no one in the Imperial Hospital that can cure the Emperor's injuries? Such a large Imperial Hospital and so many Imperial Hospital, there is not a single powerful one?"

Although the emperor's brother is very fierce, he still doesn't want the emperor's brother to leave them.

Li Chengqian did not answer Li Yuanying's words, and he was already stunned.

Li Chengqian also remembered his mother.

Then a sudden illness, he took his mother away in just half a year. He asked for a famous doctor, prayed to heaven and worshipped Buddha, and even wanted to ask His Majesty Li Er to pardon the world, but in the end it was useless. At that time, he thought, what is the use of his father becoming the emperor, and what is the use of his prince, and even his mother being the queen!

Now, Li Yuanying said that his father also had accumulated illnesses.

The scenes of Empress Changsun falling ill appeared in Li Chengqian's mind again.

In that case, the father never told him. The father only kept asking him, and only let Kong Yingda and the others constantly persuade him. He never thought that the father, who was in his prime, would have the possibility of leaving them at any time. Li Chengqian was silent for a long time before he harshly comforted Li Yuanying: "No, the father is healthy, and the old injuries are not that serious."

Li Yuanying was still worried and took Li Chengqian's hand and said, "I heard from Li Chunfeng that there is a very powerful miracle doctor named Sun Simiao. He doesn't want to invite him to be an imperial doctor if the emperor wants to ask him to be an imperial doctor! Otherwise, Chengqian, please find a way to invite him back!"

Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao are both Taoist priests, but their focus is different. One is to calculate good and bad luck and product research, and the other is to conduct medical research. Li Yuanying ran to chat with Li Chunfeng in his spare time, and he heard many legendary stories from Li Chunfeng, and Sun Simiao was one of them. However, at that time, Li Yuanying didn't need any famous doctor at all and didn't care at all. Now that he needs it, he remembered this person!

Li Chengqian also thought it was a solution. He nodded and agreed to Li Yuanying's request: "Okay, I'll send someone to look for it. If he doesn't want to come, I'll invite it myself!"

When Li Yuanying heard Li Chengqian's agreement, he drank the hot soup that Li Chengqian asked someone to send and happily went back to bed.

Since Li Chengqian had already asked the miracle doctor Sun Simiao, Li Yuanying had no worries and quickly slept with a very sweet sleep after washing and changing clothes.

It was Li Chengqian who lie till dawn with his eyes open.

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: Can't sleep, wait for me to divert the pressure

Little Prince: OK, the transfer is over
