The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1233 Li Shimin wakes up (Part )
"That's what my uncle said."

Li Chengqian said calmly with a straight face: "I am so happy that you were able to find Dr. Sun and save my father. Why do you seem to be unhappy?"

"My little ancestor, I really want to call you uncle."

After saving the old emperor, the most feared thing was to offend the new emperor. Even if Li Shimin woke up, he was old, and the Tang Dynasty would eventually belong to the new emperor.

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He looked around and saw that there was no one else nearby. He pleaded in a low voice: "You know that your father is very majestic and I am always worried when dealing with him."

"You are different. You have the blood of our Changsun family flowing in your veins. You are connected to your uncle even if we break bones, and you have always respected me."

"My uncle actually found Sun Simiao a long time ago, but he didn't offer him to you because he was on your side! Now there is Li You in the east causing chaos, and the Right Wise King is invading the south with a large army. The people of Shandong are disunited, and the nobles in the interior of the country are fleeing one after another."

"The Tang Dynasty is really in a critical moment. If it is not a last resort, even if your mother wants to, your uncle will persuade her. If you can handle the situation in the Tang Dynasty now, your uncle can find an excuse to send Sun Simiao away now?"

Li Chengqian pretended to be embarrassed for a while, and then said helplessly, "Forget it. Now that my father has come forward, it is indeed better than me. That bastard Li You and that scumbag Youxian Wang dare not challenge my father's majesty."

"Uncle, do you think I, as the emperor, have really failed? How did the situation suddenly become like this?"

"To be honest, I have learned from the previous Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. I never act stubbornly or willfully. I discuss everything with you. As long as you strongly oppose something, I will never be stubborn."

"Why is this peaceful and prosperous era suddenly in danger?"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, the tension in his heart suddenly relaxed. The fact that his nephew could open up to him meant that he still believed in him.

Just hearing the other party's words, Changsun Wuji's scalp felt tingling. The words sounded like self-blame, but in fact they were full of malice.

What does it mean to discuss everything with you? What does it mean to not be stubborn?

What Li Chengqian meant was, I listened to you all, but it ended up like this, it’s all because of you useless and incompetent people, and you still have the nerve to say that?

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Changsun Wuji thought for a while and could only put the blame on himself. He said helplessly: "Maybe it's really like Li You said, it's all my uncle's fault. Although my uncle wanted to be a wise minister and help you govern the world, he may have become a treacherous minister unconsciously!"

"Oh, uncle, please don't say that."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji had given in, Li Chengqian did not go too far.

He waved his hand, looked at Changsun Wuji with gray hair on his temples, and said with emotion: "Over the past year, uncle has been working day and night on government affairs, and has exhausted all his efforts for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Qian remembers that when you first ascended the throne, you didn't have so many white hairs on your head."

"Now, he is almost catching up with Fang Xuanling, which shows how heavy and difficult the affairs of state are."

"I only feel ashamed and understand you, uncle, and have never doubted you. As for Li You's talk of being a traitor, please don't take it to heart. I agreed to your resignation purely to appease the tens of millions of people in Shandong and the nobles in the court."

"In fact, I know that as long as we recognize their ownership of the land, the Shandong rebellion can be quelled without a fight. However, those noble families are against it, and I don't have the prestige of my father to make decisions, so I have no choice."

"Your Majesty, I am your subject."

Hearing his nephew's heart-warming words, Changsun Wuji was deeply moved and said excitedly, "With your words, I will die without regrets."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was getting excited, Li Chengqian suddenly felt evil. He stretched out his hand, grabbed Changsun Wuji's long beard and gently pulled it.

"Ouch."

Changsun Wuji felt pain and subconsciously slapped Li Chengqian's hand. Immediately, the heavy atmosphere disappeared.

"Old man, you look so energetic, can you still live?"

For a moment, the two seemed to have returned to the time when Li Chengqian was a teenager and always pestered Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji was also in a trance, and his past memories were touched, and his face unconsciously showed a doting expression.

"hehe."

Changsun Wuji knew that his nephew was disgusted by his formality, so he straightened his slightly hunched body and said with a smile: "If you work harder, you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of an emperor sooner. Then your uncle can rest assured and enjoy a few days of peace and happiness at home."

"Don't even think about it."

Li Chengqian said domineeringly: "When you can no longer walk, you can return home. Even if you are no longer in the court, you cannot leave Chang'an City. I can find you anytime I want."

Although Zhangsun Wuji has selfish motives, he can also pull the millstone for himself. He needs to be whipped and disciplined from time to time, but he cannot be completely defeated. Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu are both old, and Cen Wenben is a latecomer. Besides, the land in Shandong has been divided, and the next is Guanzhong. Now that the Guanlong clans have retreated, they can be implemented as long as the Right Xianwang army is cleaned up.

The last is Jiangnan. Separated by the Yangtze River, neither Shi Luodie nor the Right Xian King’s army can reach there. This last piece of bone may be a tough battle like the Sui Dynasty’s conquest of the Southern Chen Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin was asked to take action. While dealing with the aristocratic families and consolidating the achievements, he also had to take over Jiangnan. It was more appropriate for the old emperor Li Shimin to take action than himself.

But in this case, Cen Wenben, a minister who came from a Jiangnan aristocratic family, could not be fully trusted.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji is still the most suitable candidate for the Prime Minister. Not only should he be used, but he will also be of great use because of the departure of the Guanlong nobles.

After a year of living together, Changsun Wuji also understood that the emperor's nephew would put pressure on him but would not give up on him.

This is probably the tacit understanding between the uncle and nephew, and the fundamental reason why they agree on the general direction.

As long as the emperor continues to use him as always, there is nothing to be afraid of if he is beaten or suppressed. If he can be beaten, he will be used, and if he can be suppressed, he will not be abandoned.

Imperial power and prime ministerial power are originally a pair of enemies, they are mutually reinforcing and counterproductive yet inseparable.

"You, your father is such a diligent and power-hungry man, how could you give birth to someone with such a lazy personality?" Changsun Wuji shook his head with a wry smile. After all this fun, the last trace of scruples and worries in his heart disappeared.

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed, and his face suddenly became heavy. He asked tentatively: "Uncle, do you think that when our father wakes up and faces this broken country and this corrupt situation, will he blame me, the emperor, for not fulfilling my responsibilities?"

"Tell me, will the emperor be disappointed in me, and then..."

"Then no."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji's old face suddenly became solemn, and he said firmly: "At that time, the emperor was in trouble and didn't have much time. He suddenly passed the throne to the emperor. There were already many hidden dangers in the court that had not been dealt with properly."

"The current situation is nothing more than a recurrence of the old illness."

"The emperor has been working diligently and accepting criticisms since he took power. Not only the old ministers, but also Xiao Yu, Zhang Xuansu, and Fang Xuanling have seen this."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. You are not the crown prince now, but the emperor. No one can change your position. If the emperor is shaken, I will never agree even if I kneel down at the palace gate. The ministers in the court will not agree either."

Li Chengqian nodded silently. Zhangsun Wuji's attitude was the attitude of all the officials in the court, which was exactly what he expected. Just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion in the distance, and Zhangsun Wuji's excited voice rang out: "Erlang is awake, Erlang is awake!"

The two of them hurried forward, came to the side of the couch, and looked intently.

Li Shimin, who was lying on the bed, had his eyelids trembling violently, his fingers began to bend, and his breathing became more rapid. Seeing this, Sun Simiao relaxed, wiped the sweat off his face, and quickly reached out to remove the silver needles from Li Shimin's body one by one.

He looked around and said anxiously, "Queen Mother, the Emperor has been sleeping for a long time. The light here is too bright. I am afraid it will stimulate his brain, so his eyelids cannot be opened. Please order the curtains around to be lowered, and then apply clean water to his eyes to moisten his eyelids. The Emperor will surely wake up."

"Also bring the cooked porridge. The emperor will be hungry when he wakes up. This will fill his stomach. He can eat normally after he recovers."

Zhangsun Wugou quickly ordered the surrounding Tailin palace maids: "Hurry up and do as Dr. Sun ordered. Close the windows, put down the curtains, fetch water, and serve the porridge."

Everyone dispersed and got busy.

After a while, with the concern of several people, Li Shimin exhaled heavily and slowly opened his eyes.

Only then did Changsun Wugou breathe a sigh of relief, and went forward to help Li Shimin up, and put several layers of quilts behind his back so that Li Shimin could speak normally.

After drinking a full bowl of porridge, Li Shimin finally came to his senses. Seeing the people around him, he forced out a somewhat stiff smile: "Guanyinbi, Fuji, why are you all surrounding me? And Chengqian, don't you have to go to court?"

"Erlang." Her husband's awakening made Changsun Wugou very excited. Hearing the familiar voice and call, she could no longer stop the throbbing in her heart, and fell into Li Shimin's arms, crying bitterly.

"This..." Li Shimin still didn't realize what had happened. In his memory, he just took a nap, so why was the queen so excited when he woke up? Could it be that he was critically ill and was rescued by the imperial physician?

The queen was so nervous because she had a near-death experience.

Li Shimin stretched out his big hand and gently stroked Changsun Wugou's back twice. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm awake now, right? Look, Qian'er and Fuji are here. You are the queen who rules the country. Why are you so careless about your manners?"

Seeing this, Li Chengqian said to Sun Simiao, "Dr. Sun, thank you for your hard work. My father just woke up and my mother was a little excited. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Please go to the side hall to rest. I will thank you in person when my father recovers."
