Chapter 2030 The love between father and son
Under the unwilling looks of Li Tai and Li Zhi, Li Chengqian strode into Hanfeng Palace.
Just now, the maid conveyed Li Shimin's oral order to summon the crown prince to an audience. Li Tai and Li Zhi also wanted to go in with him.
But they were stopped by a maid, who told them that His Majesty had only summoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and no one else was allowed to enter.
This made the two of them very jealous.
They just heard from Sun Simiao's words that their father might be in danger this time and might very likely die here.
At this moment, the two of them actually had some guesses in their minds. This time, they called the prince in alone, probably to make arrangements for their funeral arrangements.
The Hanfeng Hall was filled with the smell of medicine. After Li Chengqian entered, he smelled a very strong smell of medicine, which made him feel a little strange.
It's not an external injury, and I'm not boiling medicine here, so why is there such a strong smell of medicine?
Under the guidance of Wang De, Li Chengqian came to Li Shimin's innermost bedroom.
Above the dragon couch, which was obscured by the cloud-covered gauze curtain, a figure could be vaguely seen lying on the bed.
"Son pays homage to Father." Li Chengqian bowed.
"No~~" Li Shimin's weak voice came from behind the bed curtain.
"Thank you, Aye." Li Chengqian stood up.
"Come forward."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian hurried forward and came to the bed. The maid beside him pulled the bed curtains apart, revealing Li Shimin lying inside.
"Aye, how do you feel?"
Li Chengqian knelt beside the bed and asked softly.
"Help me up." Li Shimin supported his body.
Li Chengqian immediately stood up and supported Li Shimin. Wang De also came forward to help and placed a soft cushion behind Li Shimin.
"Aye..." Li Chengqian's eyes were a little red and he choked up as he spoke.
It was the first time in more than 30 years that he saw his father so weak. Originally, his father was a man of integrity. In his heart, he was the invincible Khan, a god-like existence.
But now, his face is haggard, his eyes are dark, and he is getting thinner day by day, which makes Li Chengqian extremely sad.
The father whom he once regarded as a god was his sky, but now this sky is about to collapse.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shed tears.
"Haha, Gao Ming, don't be sad." Li Shimin smiled gently when he saw this, stretched out his hand to wipe away Li Chengqian's tears, and gently touched Li Chengqian's head.
Li Chengqian consciously bent down and lowered his head so that Li Shimin's hand could touch him.
At this moment, there is no longer a monarch and ministers, but only fathers and sons. Li Shimin is no longer the greatest emperor in history, he has become a father.
Li Chengqian was no longer the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty who was about to inherit the throne, but a filial son who stayed by his bedside.
Neither of them spoke, both were feeling the fatherly love and the filial piety, the warmth of this moment.
Li Chengqian was named crown prince at the age of eight. Li Shimin had high hopes for him and had always been very strict with Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian couldn't bear it several times and went astray.
Li Chengqian had been jealous and hated before, but at this moment all the jealousy, hatred, and confusion buried deep in his heart disappeared.
My father has always loved me, but the way he treated me is unacceptable to me. After all, my father is the emperor and I am the prince.
"Wang De, move a chair for Gao Ming."
After a long time, Li Shimin withdrew his hand and spoke softly, his tone sounding so weak.
"Yes."
Wang De, who was standing by, quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and agreed.
He was just moved by this scene. He had followed Li Shimin for decades, but this was the first time he saw Li Shimin being so tender towards his son.
It was supposed to be a good thing, but now in such a scene, it is hard not to feel sad.
It is very likely that this first time will also become the last time.
Wang De put the chair in place himself, and seeing the look in Li Shimin's eyes, he waved to the maid and eunuch beside him:
"You all go out and wait outside."
"Yes." The servants agreed and left, leaving only Wang De and Li An in the room.
"Gao Ming, I summoned you here because I had something to tell you." Li Shimin looked a little weak. He hadn't eaten well for several days.
He had diarrhea again, which made him feel weak all over.
"Father, you should recover first. When you are well, I will listen to your teachings."
Li Chengqian shook his head. He knew that his father was about to make arrangements for his funeral.
In the past, Li Chengqian had the idea of succeeding to the throne early, and every time he thought about becoming emperor, he felt excited and yearning.
But now Li Chengqian suddenly doesn’t want to be emperor so much, or he doesn’t want to succeed to the throne early, he just hopes that his father can be alive.
"Haha, I know my body very well. I'm really afraid that if I don't tell you now, I will never have the chance again."
Li Shimin smiled lightly. He guessed that this time he was suffering from not ordinary diarrhea, otherwise he would have recovered long ago, and there would not have been a need to mobilize so many doctors from the medical school, including the miracle doctor Sun Simiao.
"Aye won't. Doctor Sun said that Aye's illness is just caused by eating something bad. Doctor Sun has already prescribed a prescription. Aye will be well soon."
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian, who was in his thirties, was overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.
"Alas, fool, don't be sad. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the cycle of nature. Since the last time I refined the elixir, I have let it go.
The Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were both pursuing immortality, but where is immortality in this world?
Lao Shi is right. If there really are immortals, they must be god-like figures. How could they be known to us mortals?
The reason why our predecessors couldn’t figure it out was not because their obsession was so deep, but because they didn’t have a good son to break their obsession.
If they were cheated out of 4 million guan, I would have figured it out long ago, hahahaha, cough cough..."
At the end of his speech, Li Shimin started laughing, which caused him to cough violently.
"Aye!"
"Your Majesty, drink some water."
Seeing this, Li Chengqian and Wang De hurried forward to help with chest massage and breathing, and Wang De also handed over a cup of water.
"It doesn't matter. I won't die for a while." Li Shimin took a sip of water and waved his hand.
Every time Li Shimin thought of this, he felt extremely emotional.
At first, he was obsessed with alchemists' elixirs and was determined to achieve immortality, but he never expected that his own son would cheat him out of a huge sum of four million strings of cash by using a few stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting pills.
It also broke his obsession with immortality, and finally found that his obsession was not as important as the four million strings of cash.
He is such a good son of mine, and he still hasn’t asked for him to come back.
"Aye, don't say that. Doctor Sun has already said that Aye can recover. Aye should just have a good rest."
Seeing Li Shimin so weak, Li Chengqian spoke to comfort him.
"If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance." Li Shimin shook his head.
"No, Aye will be fine. You don't have to worry. Doctor Sun will definitely cure Aye." Li Chengqian shook his head excitedly.
(I saw some comments saying that he would not die. But you don’t know how serious dysentery is. Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms died from other diseases caused by dysentery.
A brave man cannot stand three rounds of diarrhea, as anyone who has had diarrhea will know. Dysentery causes vomiting, diarrhea, and blood in the stool.
"Danxi's Heart Method: Dysentery": "Dysentery is incurable. If the stool is like a fish brain, the patient is half dead and half alive. If the stool is like dust and rotten color, the patient will die. If the stool is pure blood, the patient will die. If the stool is like water leaking from a roof, the patient will die. If the stool is like a bamboo tube, the patient will die."
The key is to stop diarrhea, which is the most important thing.)
