Chapter 1918: Want to cheat dad again?
Li Shen did not explain, and the excitement he had just felt was gone.
As a leader, I now feel that my employees’ emotional intelligence is too low.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I understand that you don't understand the importance of this matter.
However, if it is accomplished, it will indeed be a great thing that will benefit future generations.
This matter was also recognized by Dr. Sun. "
Li Shen then repeated to Wang Xuance what he had said to Sun Simiao and continued:
"Xuan Ce, what I need you to do is to send someone to investigate the details of all the medical families and impoverished families in the Tang Dynasty.
What diseases do they mainly treat, what are they good at, and what are the names of prescriptions they have at home.
The more detailed the better, I am afraid they will deceive me in the future."
“Yes, I will send someone to investigate tomorrow, but Your Majesty, do we really want to be the bad guys as you said?
These medical families are related to many families.
I am afraid that by then…” Wang Xuance could not help but remind Li Shen after hearing his policy of coercion and inducement.
The Prince Ji's Mansion has already offended the five noble families and local gentry.
If even the medical family is offended, then the Ji Palace will have enemies all over the world.
"Of course... I can't do that. How could I possibly do something that would offend others?"
Li Shen shook his head.
"But the prince just said...If we don't use coercion, how can we get the prescription?"
Wang Xuance was confused by Li Shen's words. If you don't force them, they may not give you the prescription, and bribery may not work.
"Xuan Ce, I didn't say I won't do it. What I said is that I won't do anything that offends others.
But it doesn’t say that you can’t find someone to take the blame.
We are just doing our job, and none of the means are based on my will. I am kind."
Li Shen said this and shook his head helplessly.
"Your Majesty, don't you want His Majesty to issue this decree?"
Wang Xuance asked cautiously.
"Well, your idea is good. In fact, Your Highness can also do it. This is a major event that will go down in history.
This prince is also struggling over whether to look for His Majesty or the Crown Prince.
Such a good thing, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh and blood. "
Li Shen replied with a conflicted look on his face.
Sure enough, Wang Xuance thought to himself, he is indeed a rip-off.
It was only Prince Ji who came up with the idea of issuing an edict ordering all medical families in the world to hand over their ancestral secret recipes.
He might not even pass the Censorate, and would be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by scholars.
Li Shen hesitated for a while before saying to Wang Xuance:
"Xuan Ce, you must hurry up and do this. This is not an easy task. It may take several years or even more than ten years."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do it as soon as possible." Wang Xuance accepted the order.
Li Shen nodded after getting a satisfactory answer.

In Cuiwei Palace, Li Shimin was enjoying the flowers with Empress Changsun and a group of beautiful girls when Wang De hurried over from the side.
"Your Majesty, a report has been sent from Prince Ji's Palace." He then presented the memorial in both hands.
"A report from Prince Ji's mansion?" Li Shimin took the memorial with doubt. If that rebellious son had something wrong, he should have come to Cuiwei Palace.
And how long has it been since things were peaceful? Something happened again?
I opened the memorial with trepidation, and after just one glance, I couldn't help but frown.
There is an urge to tear the memorial into pieces.
The densely packed writing that could barely be called handwriting dazzled Li Shimin.
In addition, there are many scribbles, crosses and circles on it.
There was even half a palm print and some blurred handwriting, which seemed to be someone's hand accidentally pressed on it.
"Erlang, is there something wrong with Shen'er?"
Seeing Li Shimin's frown, serious face and sharp eyes, Empress Changsun couldn't help but ask.
She wondered if something big had happened in Prince Ji's Mansion, otherwise why would Li Shimin have such a serious expression.
"Well... I haven't found the beginning yet." After humming for a long time, Li Shimin squeezed out a sentence.
The writing format of the Tang Dynasty was from right to left, from top to bottom, vertically.
But his son's handwriting was not always the same. Sometimes he wrote from right to left, and sometimes he wrote from left to right.
And when writing, the words are written horizontally.
So every time you have to find the beginning first, then find the pattern, and read it word by word. In this way, even if there are a few words you don’t know,
But based on the context, we can figure out what it is.
The only good thing about this rebellious son is his ability to punctuate his sentences, using what he himself calls punctuation marks.
It's just that his punctuation marks are a little too big.
Now Li Shimin is looking for the beginning and the pattern.
In the past, Li Shen’s memorials were usually very short, so they were easy to understand at a glance, but today I don’t know why he wrote such a long one.
It took Li Shimin a while to understand what Li Shen had written. Most of the first part was flattering and sycophantic.
Only at the end it was written that Shi Teng Xiaoxiao, diagnosed by the divine doctor Sun, was more than two months pregnant, and the good news was reported to Your Majesty.
"This bastard." After reading it, Li Shimin cursed.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if Shen'er has gotten into trouble again. I'd like to apologize for him first." Concubine Wei is always so well-behaved.
"Don't worry, sister. Shen'er is so well-behaved and sensible that he won't get into trouble." Empress Changsun comforted.
"Hmph." Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted after hearing the words "well-behaved and sensible".
But he still said:
"Don't worry, Concubine. This is a memorial to announce the good news."
"A memorial announcing the good news? Can I take a look at it?" Empress Changsun asked curiously.
Li Shimin handed the memorial in his hand to Empress Changsun, and several concubines also came over to see what happy event was happening in Prince Ji's Mansion.
As a result, after Empress Changsun opened it, everyone was petrified.
Empress Changsun looked at it for a long time, turning it over and over, and she even thought she had held it the wrong way.
"This... Prince Ji's handwriting is so unique." In order to ease the embarrassment, the concubine behind him praised him against her conscience.
Even her own mother, Concubine Wei, had a look of disgust on her face, feeling that she had embarrassed herself today.
What on earth was written by my own son? Was it handwriting?
When Li Shen was a child, Concubine Wei saw her son's handwriting. It was indeed a little ugly, but at least it was legible.
But now the words written are not even recognizable.
It's embarrassing that you don't recognize the words your son wrote.
"Erlang, this...this...what good news did Shen'er report?" Empress Changsun closed the memorial helplessly.
There's no way I really can't understand it.
"He wrote on it that one of his servants, Teng, was pregnant, and it was confirmed by Divine Doctor Sun, and he reported the good news to me."
Li Shimin explained it expressionlessly, he was just a servant of Teng, there was nothing to be happy about.
But he didn't react. Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei were indeed overjoyed:
"Are you pregnant? Shen'er can carry on the family line again?"
(I accidentally found out that cursive calligraphy really started in the Tang Dynasty. Do you think this is a coincidence or God's arrangement?
Don’t forget to rub it to urge for more)
