Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 71 Li Xin wants to fight back

The most important duty of the officials of the Yushitai is to "report the rumors", which translates to adult language-making small reports. They receive the salary of the imperial court, and what they think about every day is what are the inappropriate behaviors of these officials in the court, ranging from conspiring against the country to treason, as small as a new concubine in the family of a certain minister, and even when a certain person went to court. Drowsiness and unfastened belts were all fodder for their small reports to the emperor.

The youngest and most promising medical officer of the imperial medical office in the palace unexpectedly worshiped the unlearned and inexperienced Chu king Li Xin as his teacher? Even if this kind of abnormal event is left in later generations, it has the potential to be written as a hot copy by unscrupulous editors, not to mention that this matter is now in the hands of officials like Yushitai.

If we talk about it seriously, the officials of Yushitai are probably the ancestors of the ancestors of the unscrupulous editors of later generations.

Li Shimin casually threw a memorial to Li Xin from a speech official. Li Xin opened it and took a look, his face was covered with black lines, he secretly sighed that this group of people who are full and idle are really full of imagination, and they mean that they are not surprising and endless.

Xu Jingchen just worshiped Li Xin as his teacher, and no matter what the reasons were, the officer charged Xu Jingchen with "colluding with the prince with the intention of treason" without saying a word. Isn't this a proper headline party?

However, it is no wonder that these officials dare to speak. After all, their duty is to make small reports. Any other official who falsely accuses the prince and the imperial physician of rebellion, if it is found out that the situation is not true, will be implicated to some extent. But the speaker doesn't do it at all. No matter what they say, they will not be convicted, let alone implicated. This is their privilege.

Li Xin also understood that, to a certain extent, if the royal doctor in the palace had a close relationship with the prince, it would be a sensitive matter for any emperor. Just imagine, after all, it is the imperial physician, the important person in charge of the emperor's health care work, how many of the medicines the emperor usually takes are from the imperial physician? How much information did the imperial doctor have about the emperor? If such a person had a close personal relationship with the prince outside the palace, how could an ordinary emperor hold back his thoughts?

This is a major event that could cause a head to fall!

Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er in front of Li Xin trusted him enough, and he also trusted Xu Jingchen enough - after all, Xu Jingchen came to Li Xin to ask Li Xin for advice on health management regulations and debridement and suture techniques, most of which were inspired by Li Shimin.

Still, trust it. The reason why Li Shimin showed such a candid attitude when he saw Li Xin was, on the one hand, to tell Li Xin clearly that he did not suspect that Li Xin had a different intention, and on the other hand, he probably hinted that Li Xin would take the initiative to give him an explanation.

Li Xin understood Li Shimin's intentions in a blink of an eye, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty believes in such memorials?"

"Hahaha, I won't show it to you if I believe it." Li Shimin smiled and shook his head.

Li Xin also shook his head, and explained Xu Jingchen's idea of ​​verifying the classics and prescriptions in detail, and then roughly talked about some experimental things, which made Li Shimin nod with relish.

"Sun Daochang, this disciple, is really eager to learn and has superb medical skills. He is a good young man." Li Shimin praised with a smile. He had also heard of Sun Simiao's name. It is said that the prescriptions left by Sun Simiao are among the several medicinal diets he is eating now.

Originally, after Li Xin's explanation, the matter almost passed like this.

But Li Xin held this memorial in his hand, and he always felt unhappy in his heart. During this period of time, he had been staying in the palace, and he didn't know anything about the outside world, so naturally he didn't know that Xu Jingchen was under so much pressure. Even the last time when Xu Jingchen personally went to the Chu Palace to pick up the experimental guidelines that Li Xin promised to write to him, Xu Jingchen didn't mention these things at all.

This guy, just like this, silently endured these criticisms and ridicules. There must be many people who say that he is greedy for glory and wealth, that he bowed his knees to the most favored prince, and even did not hesitate to worship a boy who was only seventeen years old as his teacher. This kind of criticism is absolutely unimaginable pressure for ordinary people in Datang where everyone regards integrity as extremely important. But Xu Jingchen endured it without saying a word.

This made Li Xin feel very uncomfortable. He was originally a short-sighted person. Since Xu Jingchen worshiped under his sect, he would naturally be his dog from now on, no, his man, how could Xu Jingchen be bullied outside for no reason? Really think that the King of Chu is made of mud, can't he be tempered?

The more Li Xin thought about it, the more angry he turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I only have a title but no official position, so I can't attend the court meeting according to reason. Could you please show your majesty something to the ministers at the court meeting tomorrow?"

Li Shimin became a little interested when he heard this. He understood Li Xin's youthful temper, and he must be a little angry after being slandered by the officials, but he didn't know what Li Xin wanted to do after all. So, he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but what do you want the ministers to see?"

Li Xin replied: "I want to show them an article."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. Since the last Qixi Festival poem, he always felt that Li Xin had hidden a lot of skills. Now it is rare for Li Xin to show his intentions again, so he said with a smile: "Do you want to go back and write or write here?"

"Just write it here." Li Xin replied without hesitation.

Not many have the guts to write articles in front of the emperor. Li Shimin also felt the novelty, and said to the servant next to him: "Bring the pen and paper again."

After a while, a large sheet of paper and a high-quality Langhao brush were placed in front of Li Xin.

When everything was ready, he suddenly hesitated - damn it, although he has been practicing calligraphy a little recently, his calligraphy is still not good enough.

"Why don't you write?" Li Shimin asked strangely.

After all, Li Xin was riding a tiger, so he picked up the pen with difficulty, and said: "I really have no talent in calligraphy. If the handwriting is ugly, I hope your majesty will forgive me. Why don't you ask Lord Yu Shinan to copy it for me?" Yu Shinan was a famous calligrapher at that time, and he was a writer at that time.

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said: "You haven't written this article yet, and you are thinking of asking Yu Boshi to copy it for you? Your tone is too loud. Just write it. If it is really a famous article handed down from generation to generation, I will How about transcribing it for you personally?" Li Shimin himself is also a calligraphy lover, and his writing is not bad - of course, he can't compare with real calligraphers like Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang, but he is definitely better than half-baked people like Li Xin So much better.

Li Xin nodded reassuringly immediately, and said, "Okay. But my main point is to let His Majesty not scold me when I see that my handwriting is too ugly."

Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry: "Hurry up and write! Don't say you are!"

Only then did Li Xin write with confidence.

Two extremely ugly big characters appeared on the paper - Shi said.
