Chapter 2055 You are the commander
Seeing that things were not going well, Li Shen quickly took two steps back, ready to run away at any time.
"Aye, my tenth brother did this just to cure Aye's illness. I hope Aye won't blame me."
This time Li Chengqian stood up and pleaded for Li Shen.
"Hmph, I'll keep this account in mind for now. I'll come back to settle it with you after I recover."
Li Shimin probably felt tired, and from the look on Li Shen's face he knew that he was preparing to run away, so he snorted coldly and didn't bother with it anymore.
Li Shen was deeply moved by this. He looked at Li Chengqian gratefully and said:
"Thank you for your plea, brother. Don't worry, if you have no food to eat in the East Palace, you can ask your sister-in-law to bring the children to Prince Ji's Mansion. It's just a matter of adding a few pairs of chopsticks."
"..." Li Chengqian was completely speechless. He regretted why he was so mean just now. He shouldn't have begged for mercy and let his father beat this guy up.
"Doctor Sun, please feel my father's pulse." Li Shen ordered.
Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately came to Li Shimin's bedside and carefully examined him.
"There is some improvement, but it is not too obvious," said Sun Simiao.
In fact, there was almost no change in the pulse, but Prince Ji had just done so much, if it had no effect, wouldn't it be in vain?
Li Xiuwei also stepped forward to take Li Shimin's pulse.
"Well, there has been some improvement. It should be because of the first dose of medicine. The effect became more obvious after the next few doses." Li Xiuwei found a reason to charge forward.
"Are you still drinking incense ash water?" Upon hearing this, Li Shimin asked hurriedly.
"Father, I don't have to drink the incense ash water this time. God has blessed me this time. I found a very useful medicine." Li Shen explained hurriedly.
"Is that the sweet soil you mentioned? I say, Old Ten, I have treated you well, and you are using both incense ash water and soil.
If I really die, the money in the treasury will not be yours."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen, his face full of suspicion.
"Aye, this time is different. This time it is real medicine. Wang De, prepare it. Dissolve half a spoonful of sweet soil in water and bring it over."
Li Shen calculated the time and it was time to take medicine.
Soon, the servants brought the water, and Wang De mixed it himself, stirred it evenly, and brought it over.
"Father, take the medicine. It will definitely cure your illness." Li Shen advised.
Looking at the still gray and turbid water, Li Shimin frowned. He felt that this was no different from incense ash water.
Li Shimin pointed at Li Shen, but in the end he didn't say a word. Instead, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one breath.
The smell was not much better than incense ash. What he was thinking now was whether he had been fooled by this rebellious son again.
After taking the medicine, I rinsed my mouth.
"Dr. Sun, take them outside and wait for a while."
Seeing the look in Li Shimin's eyes, Li Shen gave an order to Sun Simiao and Li Xiuwei.
Everyone bowed and left.
"Tenth Brother, have you heard any news about Anxi along the way?" Li Shimin asked after everyone had left.
"Replying to Father Ye, I have some news. Anxi is a little restless now. I am worried that he may not be able to handle the job."
Li Shen nodded.
"You bastard, how do you know you are not capable of doing the job when you haven't even gone? Don't worry, I have already made arrangements." Li Shimin scolded and then comforted him.
Li Shen knew he couldn't avoid it and didn't say anything more.
"Well, don't blame me if I fail to subdue my father." Of course, he had to say the ugly truth up front: he was not cut out to be an official.
"Haha, haven't you done a good job along the way? Eliminating evil and promoting good, and punishing those officials who persecute the people." Li Shimin smiled lightly.
"Father knows all about this?" Li Shen was very surprised. He was not surprised that Li Shimin knew what he had done, because the memorial had already been submitted.
Li Shen was surprised that even though his father was so ill, he still had the mood to ask about his affairs.
"For your safety, I naturally need to know your movements. You have done well. In the future, you can become a commander, travel around, and clean up the bureaucracy for the court.
Didn't you suggest setting up a new department specifically responsible for investigating officials?
It cannot be implemented at the moment, but there is another way, and you can investigate it. " Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I don't have time. I still need to expand the Ji Palace. I'm afraid I can't take on this important task. Father, please find someone else."
Li Shen shook his head after hearing this. If anything becomes work, even if you like doing it very much, you will no longer like it.
Li Shen likes to travel around, but if he becomes a commander, the responsibility will be great, and the greater the responsibility, the more tired he will be.
Every time I go to a place, I have to go down and visit it first.
"Asshole, what does having children have to do with you being a commander?" Li Shimin knew this would be the result.
"Besides, you are the most suitable person to do this. You are different from these officials. You have a close relationship with each other.
Moreover, you are a prince with a strong background, so everyone else has to give you some respect.
What are you afraid of? "
"Aye, of course I'm scared. You also said that they are closely related. If I investigate thoroughly, won't I offend a lot of people?
Now I am surrounded by enemies on all sides, does Aye want me to be ambushed from all sides?"
Li Shen guessed that he was not stupid. He thought that these officials were just afraid of him and fighting against him would be a thankless task.
But if I take this job, even if they don't want to be enemies with me, they will unite against me. This is all driven by interests.
How could I bear it if I was impeached for treason every day?
"What do you mean by ambushes from all sides? Do we dare to touch you? You have to trust the court." Li Shimin advised.
"I don't even trust my eldest brother, so how can I trust the court? My eldest brother will come to Aye to complain."
Li Shen immediately dragged Li Chengqian into the water.
"Tenth brother, when have I ever lied to you?" Li Chengqian acted innocent and said he had done nothing.
Li Shimin could not persuade Li Shen, so he had no choice but to give up. Li Shen once told him that he should set up a new ministry or temple.
Specifically investigate whether officials have committed crimes, accepted bribes, or abused their power.
However, this proposal was quickly opposed by ministers in the court, on the grounds that it would easily cause panic and make the court unstable.
Especially now that the new emperor and the old emperor are about to take over, it will ultimately end in nothing.
"Well, let's talk about this later. Old Ten, when you go to Anxi Protectorate to take charge of Anxi, besides paying attention to the rebels, you also need to pay attention to Tubo.
According to our report, there seems to be some internal problems in Tibet."
Li Shimin sighed and started talking about business.
"Aye, what you mean...are those rebels supported by Tubo?" Li Shen immediately understood what Li Shimin meant.
