Fu Tang

Seeing that Li Congjia's expression was not right, Shi Xueting said, "Has Japan not issued credentials?"

Li Congjia snorted coldly: "Credit? Their credential still emphasizes territorial sea sovereignty, shit territorial sea sovereignty!"

Shi Xueting nodded and said: "Then there is no problem. As far as I know, this princess also came to Datang with her identity concealed."

"Conceal your identity? Did you come to study?" Li Congjia raised his eyebrows. The reason why he thought so was because Japan is really good at this. Even if Li Congjia resisted them from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit it.

Shi Xueting shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm here to get used to life in the Tang Dynasty, and I'm planning to get married."

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting in horror: "Don't scare me."

Japanese women these days are really not within Li Congjia's range of aesthetics. Not to mention he doesn't like women, even if he likes women's aesthetics, he doesn't reach this level. Letting her into his harem is an insult to his aesthetics.

Seeing Li Congjia's expression, Shi Xueting couldn't help laughing: "Maybe they have this idea."

Li Congjia pondered for a while and said, "Look at that woman to see what she is going to do. Oh, yes, who is it?"

"The one who came was Prince Fuzinai, the Seventh Emperor's Daughter. He has already sent people to follow up. It seems that he is still very honest." People, he sent people to check them all, and let go of those with no problems, and leave a criminal record for those with problems. Of course, ordinary businessmen generally don't investigate very strictly.

However, two days later, Shi Xueting came over to Li Congjia with 12 points of inconceivability and said, "I remember you said that Japan is a country with a strong learning ability?"

Li Congjia nodded: "That's right, what's wrong?"

Shi Xueting asked: "Do you think Prince Fu Zi Nei is here to study?"

Li Congjia laughed: "How do I know? But it shouldn't be counted. If you really want to study, you should send students. Even the royal family should send a prince. Why would you send a princess? But why did you suddenly ask this? "

Shi Xueting said with a strange expression: "Prince Fuzinei has been walking around Chang'an recently, but in the past two days...you probably can't imagine where she went."

"Where?" Li Congjia was very curious, could this woman still go to heaven?

Shi Xueting said: "She... went to the brothel."

At that moment, Li Congjia felt that there was something wrong with his ears: "What is it? Brothels?"

Shi Xueting nodded: "That's right, the people I sent to follow her saw that she entered the brothel two days ago, and she hasn't come out these two days."

Li Congjia... Li Congjia felt that his current expression was probably similar to that of an owl, with a dazed expression on his face, he ran all the way to visit the brothel, and he was still a princess, what the hell is this?

Li Congjia wiped his face and asked, "She...has been in for two days? Didn't she come out?"

Shi Xueting also felt that there was a problem, so he asked, "Do you need to search?"

Li Congjia's mouth twitched: "How to search?"

Although the matter of Japanese imperial daughters visiting brothels seems absurd, they did not break the law. After all, there is no one in the laws of the Tang Dynasty saying that women are not allowed to visit brothels.

The brothel also did not break the law, and there was nothing wrong with it. If people were sent to search it hastily, rumors would spread all over the city before any results were found. For example... the emperor stared at the brothel for nothing.

Li Congjia felt that this blame cannot be taken back.

Shi Xueting said angrily: "What are you thinking? Of course, we can't just search openly, but just send people over to have a look, and...cough, there are also our people in the brothel."

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting in shock and asked, "What? You send people into brothels as spies? Male or female?"

Shi Xueting was about to vomit blood: "It's not me sending people to brothels, but going to brothels to find people who are willing to cooperate, understand?"

The difference between these two statements is too great. After all, the only brothel in Chang’an City is an official camp, and basically there are family members of some criminals inside. As for human trafficking, I will definitely not do it unless It is voluntary selling into a brothel.

In the past, Li Congjia also thought that such things as brothels and Chuguan should not appear, but the facts have proved that everything has its own meaning, unless he can change the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and then abolish the class of slaves.

If that's the case, it's equivalent to him being an enemy of the whole world. Li Congjia weighed it up, admitted it in seconds, and decided to do it a little bit.

The first is to vigorously crack down on human traffickers everywhere, so when he heard that Shi Xueting still had spies in the brothel, he was shocked. He is here to crack down on human traffickers, but where is his man sending people to the brothel?

Fortunately, Shi Xueting still has his bottom line, he just bought some people to pass on the news, as for reliability... Naturally, Shi Xueting will not regard them as confidantes, and they naturally know what to say and what not to explain.

Li Congjia nodded and said, "Look it up, this is a bit strange."

However, he suddenly thought of Gao Xi and Yelu Trigu, maybe this Prince Fu Zi Nei also likes girls?

Li Congjia was speculating while waiting for Shi Xueting to find out the results, but before he could find out anything, a bad news came suddenly-the king of Chu, Li Jingda, was about to die!

Li Congjia was shocked when he found out, and went straight out of the palace to the Prince Chu's mansion. On the way, he was still thinking about it. Li Jingda seemed to be alive and well before, and he had never heard of any illness. Why did he die in a blink of an eye?

When Li Congjia arrived at the Chu Palace, the whole Chu Palace looked a little flustered. Apparently, Li Jingda's sudden illness caught everyone in the Chu Palace by surprise.

Li Jingda's eldest son, Li Song, went out to greet him, looking very haggard.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Li Congjia supported his arm and said, "Don't worry about these vain gifts at this time, how is Uncle's condition? I brought Feng Yu over here."

Li Song's eyes were a little red and he said: "Father fell very suddenly. The doctor before said that he was old and weak, and his energy was low."

Li Congjia said angrily: "Nonsense, Uncle was fine before, why is he old and frail?"

Li Jingda is only 48 years old this year, how old is he?Even if you look at the average age, it also depends on the level and status. The higher the status, the longer the life. After all, you can keep up with maintenance. Li Jingda was in good condition before, with a rosy face. The root cause of the disease caused by the war in the early years The year will be raised almost, how can you say no?

Li Song led Li Congjia inside and said, "Several doctors have said this, and I too..."

Li Congjia said: "Don't worry, let Fengyu have a look."

When Li Congjia came out this time, he brought out Fengyu, who specialized in treating him. He has been alive and kicking all these years, so he basically doesn't need this person. The only thing he needs is to ask this person to prescribe some nourishing prescriptions to deal with Shi Xueting. enthusiasm.

When Li Congjia saw Li Jingda, he was surprised to find that Li Jingda was really not in a good condition, his face was sallow, he was short of breath, his eyes were half-closed, and he really looked like he was going to die soon.

He didn't talk nonsense with Li Jingda, and asked Feng Yu to watch it directly, for fear that Li Jingda would be unable to bring it up if he said a few more words, so he just whimpered.

Li Congjia stood aside and watched Feng Yu's pulse and tongue coating. After this series of examinations, Feng Yu also came over with a very solemn expression and said: "Return to your majesty, the cause of King Chu's illness is not simply old age and frailty. , but cardiopulmonary overdraft."

Li Congjia was a little surprised: "Heart and lung overdraft? You mean Uncle Huang has a heart disease? But I have never heard of him having a heart disease before."

Feng Yu also had a strange expression on his face: "That's true. I don't know if the son has the pulse case before King Chu? Can you let me take a look?"

Li Song quickly said: "If there are some, I'll send someone to bring them over immediately."

Feng Yu went to see the pulse case, and Li Jingda seemed to be woken up at this time, opened his eyes, looked around and saw Li Congjia, and waved to Li Congjia involuntarily.

Li Congjia hurried over and said, "Uncle Huang, I brought Fengyu here, you should relax and take good care of him."

Li Jingda shook his head with difficulty, and said slowly and vaguely: "I... I can't make it, Liu Lang, for the sake of my fighting for the Tang Dynasty these years, I'll trouble you to take care of your unworthy cousin. "

Li Congjia looked at Li Jingda's cloudy eyes, and for some reason his nose was sore, he choked up and said, "Don't think so much, it will definitely get better, Dalang, don't worry."

Li Jingda waved to Li Song, and when Li Song came over, he said, "From now on... whatever His Majesty asks you to do, just do it, honestly, don't play tricks, you know?"

Li Song knelt on the bedside and cried, "Daddy, Daddy, I will definitely listen to your Majesty, don't think too much about it, take care of it, and it will definitely be cured."

Li Jingda shook his head and closed his eyes again. Li Congjia took a closer look and found that he seemed to have just passed out, so he was relieved.

Li Congjia patted Li Song on the shoulder, turned his head to look at Feng Yu, who had a puzzled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, this...His Royal Highness King Chu's pulse case seven days ago showed that there is no problem, that is to say, within just seven days, His heart was failing so quickly, it's... it's unbelievable."

Li Congjia asked: "Are you sure there was no problem before?"

Feng Yu shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the pulse case."

Li Congjia asked: "Who wrote the pulse case?"

He originally wanted to ask if the doctor who regularly asked Li Jingda for his pulse was not professional enough, but he asked in a more tactful manner. Fortunately, Feng Yu was not stupid, so he immediately understood what Li Congjia meant, and immediately said: "Write the pulse case." people have no problem."

Li Congjia still believed in Feng Yu's professional level. Since he said so, it meant that there was really no problem.

So he asked, "Can I still be saved?"

Feng Yu hesitated for a while and said: "I can only watch Yang Yang slowly. If the situation is good, there may be hope, but it may be more difficult to return to the same health as before."

Li Congjia immediately said: "No matter how difficult it is, as long as there is hope, if you need medicine, go directly to the internal warehouse to get it."

Li Song was very touched when he heard it. The Chu Palace is actually not poor, but the good things are still much worse than those in the palace. Not to mention that Li Congjia is the emperor, but that the firm under him is a gold-absorbing weapon. Li Congjia has few richer people.

Li Congjia came over this time and got an answer that was not an answer, which made him very puzzled. Why did he suddenly behave like this when he was alone?

However, he thought about it, there are no advanced instruments these days, and many diseases may not be detected at all, especially the heart disease is very complicated. It may not be inexplicable, but it is indeed a disease, and no one knows about this disease. That's all.

When Li Congjia returned to the palace, Shi Xueting had already finished reading a book, he came over to help Li Congjia take off his cloak and asked, "Leaving the palace?"

Li Congjia nodded and talked about Li Jingda's situation, and said with great embarrassment: "A person who is usually healthy, why does he suddenly say that he can't do it?"

After hearing this, Shi Xueting let out a sigh of relief: "Perhaps there was some hidden disease that hadn't been detected before. Anyway, people are fine for the time being, so there is still hope."

Li Congjia nodded and asked, "By the way, what... how is the matter with Prince Fuzi Nei going?"

Shi Xueting said sternly: "This incident... is really strange. After the assistant prince entered the brothel, he never came out again, and even went to the old bustard's bamboo building to stay for several days. No one sees her these days anyway."

After hearing this, Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Madam? Could it be that she came to experience life in a brothel?"

If he lives with the old bustard, then the possibility that Prince Fuzinei likes little ladies can basically be ruled out, unless she has strong tastes and likes milfs.

However, the more this happened, the more it seemed that the situation of Prince Fu Zi Nei was a little weird.

"Keep watching and see what tricks she plays."

Li Congjia is really interested in the Seventh Princess of Japan. Of course, this is also because it has been too boring recently. I haven't finished wrangling with Japan. Lei Youfinally hasn't found out where the pirates are. Find a good excuse, after all, Datang is still upholding the banner of justice.

With his acquiescence before, Lei Youzhong's behavior like a bandit has made the courtiers very dissatisfied, and they can no longer ignore it.

In fact, Li Congjia didn't need to say that Shi Xueting would continue to stare at Prince Fuzinei. However, the reason for Prince Fuzinei's abnormality has not been found out yet, but he found out another thing.

Shi Xueting came over with a piece of paper and said: "Chongguang, I remember you said before that the king of Chu suddenly fell ill because of a heart attack, and even became ill?"

Li Congjia nodded: "That's right, what's wrong? What did you find out?"

Shi Xueting handed him the paper and said, "Look at this, I always feel... there is something wrong with it."

Li Congjia picked up the piece of paper and was slightly taken aback: "On it...are all the gentlemen of the big family?"

Shi Xueting replied: "That's right, and most of them are the eldest sons of the family, and there are also beloved youngest sons."

After Li Congjia looked at the records on that piece of paper, he couldn't help but look solemn: "These people...are all sick recently? And they all have heart diseases? How could it be such a coincidence? How did you know?"

Shi Xueting explained: "I didn't know at first, but when Ah Rong came to report the situation two days ago, he said that some medicinal materials were consumed very quickly recently, and I wanted to ask if I could add more. I took a look at the medicinal materials I needed, and found that many parts of the prescriptions that Fengyu gave to the King of Chu overlapped. In other words, there were suddenly more people in Chang'an City suffering from the same disease or a similar disease. I was worried about what kind of disease it was , so I asked someone to check who the medicinal materials were sold to, and that’s how this list came about.”

As soon as Li Congjia heard the word epidemic, his expression was very serious: "So have you found out now? Is there really an epidemic?"

To be honest, future generations must have a more detailed understanding of various diseases than today, but he has never heard of any disease that can cause heart failure in a short period of time, and the most important thing is that it is contagious!

But thinking about it, he is not a medical student, so it is normal not to know. If this is the case, he must do his best to prevent and control the epidemic.

Shi Xueting shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it at the moment. One of the characteristics now is that people who get sick are from the upper class. Ordinary people don't seem to have any problems. However, I have asked people to strictly monitor these medicinal materials, and there is no restriction on purchasing them. But who bought it must be recorded, and maybe some clues can be obtained.”

Li Congjia said: "This matter cannot be handled by the intelligence department alone, nor can it be investigated only by the pharmacies under the commercial firm. The whole Chang'an needs to be monitored. Let's go to the cabinet."

Shi Xueting had no objection either. His only worry was that the cabinet thought it was a trivial matter and didn't pay attention to it. In the end, it was estimated that the intelligence department would still have to find all kinds of information.

However, he underestimated the cabinet. Although the big bosses in the cabinet have not experienced the epidemic, they have been in office for a long time, and most of them have stayed in the center for a long time, and they are very familiar with the horror of the epidemic.

After Li Congjia came to the cabinet, he just briefly explained the matter, and Fan Zhi asked very seriously, "How did Your Majesty know?"

Li Congjia turned his head to look at Shi Xueting, and Shi Xueting stood up and recounted the matter. After all, it was Arong who discovered that something was wrong, or it could not be regarded as her discovery, but she just said it casually and was remembered by Shi Xueting Stopped, and only then did the series of actions follow.

On this matter, Shi Xueting didn't feel that there was anything unspeakable about his behavior, so he spoke in detail.

After hearing this, Fan Zhi looked at Shi Xueting several times, thinking with great regret that such a good seedling, how could he be willing to become a monk?You said that if you come to the imperial court, you will definitely have a place in the cabinet as a minister. Maybe ten years later, the capital and ministers will be yours.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that this ability to see things in a small way can already beat most of the courtiers by [-] blocks.

Fan Zhi took over the piece of paper that Shi Xueting handed over to Li Congjia before, looked at it for a while and said, "Wait, I will notify the Minister of the Household Department to check it out."

Li Congjia nodded, glanced at Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, and found that Wang Pu and Wei Renpu had strange expressions, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

The two of them looked at each other, and Wang Pu smiled wryly and said, "My unlucky dog ​​also suffered from such a disease. Fortunately, it's not very serious, and it has started to improve after taking several medicines."

After hearing this, Li Congjia immediately asked, "Does he have any special feelings? Is anyone else in your family sick?"

Wang Pu shook his head: "Only that stinky boy has such a disease, and the others seem to be fine."

Li Congjia immediately said: "Don't take chances, isolate him first, and let the doctor take a good look at it. No matter what the disease is, there must be a reason for such a large number of people suddenly suffering from it. Now we can't find the reason. Can you be more careful first, is Wei Cifu the same way?"

Wei Renpu nodded and said, "That's right, there is only Gouzi in my family. I will let someone watch him when I go back."

Only then did Li Congjia let out a sigh of relief, and after telling everyone to try their best to find out what was going on, he turned his head and left the cabinet. As a result, before he had time to go to the Zichen Hall, he was dragged by Shi Xueting to the Bathing Hall, and directly There was a big cleaning, and all the clothes that had just been worn were burned, and Feng Yu was asked to prescribe preventive medicine.

Li Congjia was confused by his seriousness, and when he saw the medicine bowl, his first reaction was to resist. Shi Xueting pressed his shoulder and said seriously: "Drink it quickly, I didn't expect Wang The sons of Pu and Wei Renpu are also sick, what if they infect you?"

Just as Li Congjia wanted to continue protesting, he saw Tao Fu hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, I just got the news that His Highness King Chu... has passed away."

Li Congjia: ...

He looked up at Shi Xueting whose expression was no longer serious but worried, and obediently drank the whole bowl of medicine.

After drinking the medicine, Li Congjia was about to go to Chu Palace, but was stopped by Shi Xueting and said: "Don't go, send someone to tell them, I think they will understand."

Li Congjia was a little helpless, but he didn't want to make Shi Xueting worry, so he had to tell Tao Fu to take his words with him, and followed Shi Xueting back to Zichen Palace.

It has to be said that Li Jingda's death caught Li Congjia a little off guard. Logically speaking, he had retired to the second line and basically had no impact on the court. Li Congjia didn't really regard him as his own uncle, but Li Jingda's sudden death still caught him Li Congjia was a little disappointed.

It's hard to describe that feeling.

Tao Fu came back soon, but after he came back, he changed a set of clothes first, and also had a big cleaning to ensure that there were no germs on his body, and then he came to report and said: "Your Majesty, the Chu Palace is still safe now. , but the Prince of Chu asked me to bring a sentence to His Majesty, he said that His Royal Highness Chu said before leaving: There are devils in the Spring Wind Tower."

Li Congjia was taken aback: "Chunfeng Building? Brothel?"
