Sun Simiao was an immortal man who did not care about foreign affairs and did not like fame and fortune.

    Otherwise, if Li Shimin summoned Sun Simiao to the palace as an imperial doctor, Sun Simiao would not be able to politely refuse.

    Sun Simiao was not good at officialdom, but he knew one thing: King Ji could not be defeated.

    Because King Ji is promoting medicine and benefiting the people, this goal has not yet been achieved. Training doctors requires a process.

    The medical school is currently divided into two parts, one is composed of doctors from all over the country who have basic knowledge, and the other is young people who have no basic knowledge at all.

    If King Ji falls, then this great cause will be in vain.

    "Xiu Wei, go to Prince Ji's Mansion in person immediately and tell Wang Changshi of Prince Ji's Mansion about this matter.

    He would naturally send someone to inform His Highness Prince Ji.

    The old Taoist has just seen the prince's complexion. The prince's complexion is rosy and his eyes are bright. Even if he took the elixir, he has not been poisoned yet, so he should be fine in time. "

    Sun Simiao made a decisive decision and gave the order immediately.

    "Yes, mentor, this disciple will go to Prince Ji's Mansion immediately." Li Xiuwei immediately accepted the order.

    This matter cannot be known to outsiders. Being obsessed with alchemy is not a good reputation.

    At this moment, Li Chengqian returned to the palace non-stop. After entering the Liangyi Palace, he immediately ordered:

    "Come here, summon the British Duke."

    British Duke Li Ji was Li Shimin's most trusted general in the army.

    After a while, Li Ji came over and said, "I see His Highness the Crown Prince."

    "Well, you don't need to be polite, Sir. I'm just here to ask you for advice on some matters.

    Let's go to our study room to talk. "Li Chengqian smiled.

    Entering the study, Li Chengqian gave Wang Zhong a look, and Wang Zhong knowingly said to the eunuchs and maids inside:

    "You all can go out, you don't have to wait here anymore."

    Several people glanced at Li Chengqian, saw that Li Chengqian didn't speak, and quietly retreated.

    Wang Zhong stood guard at the door. Seeing this, Li Ji felt solemn. It seemed that what the prince wanted to talk to him was not an ordinary matter.

    After the two sat down, Li Chengqian personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ji.

    "My lord, you are the most trusted person by His Majesty. Your Majesty has told me that you will be my loyal minister when you succeed to the throne in the future.

    I ask you to ask the British Lord for advice if you have any questions. "

    Li Chengqian's opening remarks made Li Ji flattered. He poured the tea himself and was supported by his ministers.

    It seems that this matter cannot be taken lightly.

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince is ridiculous. I am loyal to Your Majesty and I will be loyal to Your Highness the Crown Prince in the future. As a minister, you should be loyal to your Majesty, love your country, and share your worries with your Majesty."

    Li Ji immediately stood up to show his loyalty.

    But the premise of his loyalty is to be loyal to His Majesty, and he will be loyal to you in the future.

    Li Ji is not a fool, and he will definitely not do anything you ask him to do.

    Li Chengqian understood what Li Ji meant and said bluntly:

    "Your Majesty, I will not follow you around. You should know that His Majesty is addicted to alchemy for the rest of the month."

    "I heard something." Li Ji nodded.

    "To be honest, I took the elixir that Your Majesty took to the medical school of Prince Ji's Mansion today and asked Divine Doctor Sun to take a look at it. As a result, he told me that taking the elixir was not only useless but harmful... ."

    Then Li Chengqian told Li Ji in detail what he heard from Sun Simiao.

    Finally said:

    "Mr. British, I came to you because I want you to advise His Majesty to give up the alchemy. This is not suitable for me."

    Li Ji thought for a moment after hearing this. The theory of ghosts and gods has been around since ancient times, and the theory of alchemy has been passed down for thousands of years. He didn't expect that it was poisonous.

    The prince asked him to give advice because of Li Shimin's trust in him, but this was not a casual advice.

    Your Majesty is seeking immortality. You said that the elixir is poisonous but there is no evidence. Sun Simiao's words may not be accurate either.

    Your Majesty may think that you don't want him to live forever, and you may end up dead at the thought.

    The point is that many ministers in the court will say that they are talking nonsense, because many people have recommended alchemists.

    Thinking of this, Li Ji bowed and said:

    "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to give advice. It's just that although I am trusted by Your Majesty, I speak lightly and there is no evidence.

    At that time, I am afraid that many ministers in the court will also say that I am a monster and deceive the public, and even say that I have evil intentions and do not want His Majesty to live forever.

    Why don't the prince ask Duke Zhao to persuade him? He is a relative and loyal to your majesty. Your majesty will not blame him if the queen is here. "

    Li Ji politely refused.

    "Alas~~ I was too abrupt. I didn't think of this. Don't blame the British Lord." Li Chengqian sighed after hearing this.

    "His Highness the Crown Prince has spoken harshly, please punish His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Ji bowed and apologized.

    "It's not your fault. It's just that I didn't think far enough. However, it's not appropriate to let Duke Zhao give me advice. If I can let Duke Zhao give me advice, I will go directly to Duke Zhao and won't embarrass the British Duke."

    Li Chengqian shook his head.

    "May I ask His Royal Highness, why is this?" Li Ji was a little confused.

    "It is Gao Jifu of the Gao family who should recommend the alchemist to Your Majesty." Li Chengqian said leisurely.

    Li Ji fell silent after hearing this. The Gao family and the eldest son's family were related by marriage, and Gao Shilian raised the eldest son Wuji and the queen from childhood.

    Even the queen was married to His Majesty by Gao Shilian. What a origin.

    How could Changsun Wuji try to dismantle Gao Jifu?

    If what Sun Simiao said is confirmed, then the person who recommended the alchemist will most likely be convicted and punished by your Majesty.

    Li Chengqian looked sad, anxious and worried. In fact, he also thought of one person, his mother.

    But again, once he said it, Li Shimin would doubt whether it was true or not, and whether he had any evil intentions.

    Even if Queen Changsun believed it, Li Shimin would not believe it.

    After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way.

    Li Ji was also thinking. He thought about all the veterans who followed Li Shimin in the war, and thought about who had the ability to persuade His Majesty.

    Suddenly he thought of a person, Zhang Liang, and from Zhang Liang he thought of another person, so he said:

    "Your Highness, if what Divine Doctor Sun said is true, then this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise His Majesty's poisoning will be deepened.

    I have thought of a candidate who can definitely persuade His Majesty. "

    "Who?" Li Chengqian asked happily after hearing this.

    "Haha, Your Majesty, have you forgotten, in Chang'an City or in the whole world, how many people dare to be presumptuous in front of His Majesty?" Li Ji couldn't help laughing when he thought of this man.

    "You mean the tenth brother?" Li Chengqian blurted out without even thinking.

    "That's right, it's His Royal Highness Prince Ji, who is known as the dominant tyrant in Chang'an City. I would like to come to His Majesty Prince Ji to persuade His Majesty. Even if His Majesty doesn't believe it, His Majesty Prince Ji has a way to stop His Majesty from continuing to take medicine."

    Li Ji nodded affirmatively and said, his sons have been doing well with Li Shen, and they are all promising now.

    "That's right! Why didn't I think that it would be most appropriate for Lao Shi to do this? Even if His Majesty is angry, it will only be a beating and no one else will be involved."

    Li Chengqian clapped his hands and applauded.

    (Due to something else, I haven’t interacted with you for many days.

    It's either that I don't want to, or that I'm simply lazy. Well... there are too many things to do.

    Farewell. )
