Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 64 Hidden Danger Xueyantuo
By late autumn, the wind from the north had become quite biting.

The scorching sun above the sky also became a little desolate.

But Chang'an is still prosperous.

People come and go in an endless stream, and the place is bustling with noise. It does not seem bleak as in late autumn, but is still full of vitality.

Most diseases occur in autumn.

In the East Wing, Meng Shen’s medical clinic was also crowded with people.

"Xiaoqing, it seems you are very busy!"

Li Chengqian walked in from the side door with a faint smile on his face. He hadn't been to the clinic for a while.

This time, he came to deliver funds to Meng Shen again.

"Brother, now you are here, do you have any food?" Xiaoqing trotted up and walked around Li Chengqian.

After returning from Xuzhou, Xiaoqing studied medicine under Sun Simiao.

"Yes, I came to see Xiaoqing, how could there not be one?"

Li Chengqian took out a bag of cakes from his sleeve.

"All you know is eating. How about studying medicine?"

Xiaoqing grabbed the cake and put it behind her, "I have learned acupuncture, Sister Ruoshi, you can praise me for being very good."

"Okay, you are very good. I will give you this cake as a reward." Li Chengqian rubbed Xiaoqing's little head and entered the inner hall.

Sun Ruoshi is receiving medical treatment.

The long silver needle moved in his hand, emitting a creepy cold light.

"You come!"

Sun Ruoshi pulled out the silver needle and then looked at Li Chengqian.

"Here I come. I might have to be out for a while!"

Li Chengqian also sat down on the side.

"Go out, where to? To provide disaster relief again?"

Sun Ruoshi asked. She didn't know Li Chengqian's true identity yet. She only knew that he was of high status and was an official in the court.

However, since Li Chengqian invested a lot of money to open a clinic, Sun Ruoshi thought he was a good person.

"No, I'm going to the war, and I just stopped by to see you guys."

Li Chengqian replied with a wry smile.

He looked after his clinic, tavern, cement department and school, and they were all doing well.

The news that the Tang Dynasty was going to launch a war against Goguryeo had already spread throughout the country, calling on the people to join the army.

Sun Ruoshi glanced at Li Chengqian and a trace of worry flashed across her face.

How can there be no deaths in war?
The Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful, but how could there be a 100% winning rate?
However, as a man of the country and an official in the court, Sun Ruoshi also knew that this was inevitable.

"The court is also recruiting military doctors, and there may be people who want to go to the academy."

Sun Ruoshi said, but with so many troops, no one knows where to assign them.

"Do you know which army it belongs to?" Sun Ruoshi said as if possessed by a ghost.

"Your legs are not very comfortable. If you run for a long time, your condition will relapse."

Cheng Chumo chuckled and said, "Our eldest brother is going to the navy!"

Not only Li Chengqian will go to the battlefield, but Cheng Chumo and others will also go to the front line.

"Navy?" Sun Ruoshi murmured softly.

"Yes, if Dr. Sun wants to serve the country, come to me. My family has some connections and can arrange for Dr. Sun to join any military service."

Cheng Chumo saw through it, but did not say it out loud.

"Old Four, look how capable you are." Li Dejian pushed Cheng Chumo. "But it is true. His family has some connections."

"When it comes to relationships in the military, who can compare to you? In fact, it's better for Doctor Sun to find him. The old man in his family is very powerful." Cheng Chumo said again, and the subtle atmosphere disappeared.

Sun Ruoshi had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened and treat the next patient, but the restlessness in her heart did not stop for a long time.

Am I worried about him?
Sun Ruoshi thought to herself.

But at his age, and as a noble in Chang'an, he must have many wives and concubines, and maybe even many children...

Sun Ruoshi couldn't help but shake her head suddenly. What was she thinking about?

Her expression couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Doctor Sun, please pass this box to Doctor Meng!" When Li Chengqian saw Wang Xun coming, he knew that the person in the palace wanted to see him again.

"Okay!" Sun Ruoshi looked up involuntarily and looked at Li Chengqian seriously.

During these two months, Li Chengqian often came to the medical clinic, and they had many exchanges of ideas. In particular, some of Li Chengqian's wild ideas gave her new insights into medicine.

"Your Highness, don't you understand Dr. Sun's intentions? Even I, Old Cheng, a rough man, can't see it."

"Your Highness, that's called being in the know."

After leaving the clinic, Cheng Chumo and Li Dejian were laughing.

"What do you know? You two studs are not qualified to talk about love!"

Li Chengqian always had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.

"Stallion?"

The two men widened their eyes. They were not that unrestrained, okay?

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace. His Majesty seems to have an urgent matter and wants you to enter the palace."

Wang Xun approached and whispered.

"Your Highness, we are leaving too!" Cheng Chumo and Li Dejian understood the situation and bowed and walked away.

Li Chengqian also got on the carriage, crossed the streets of East Market and headed towards Xuande Gate.

A group of people have gathered in the Taiji Hall.

This is not a court meeting, but a political meeting. Not everyone needs to be present, but some key figures must be present.

The left and right prime ministers were Changsun Wuji and Xu Jingzong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel was Ma Zhou, the minister of the Central Secretariat was Cen Wenben, the counselor was Chu Suiliang, and the minister of rites was Dou Lukuan.

"The prince is here, so let's talk about the matter."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked everyone to squat down.

Political meetings were not as formal as court meetings, so everyone could sit down and discuss things.

The Minister of Rites Dou Lukuan, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke up:

"Xueyantuo's Zhenzhubijia Khan Yinan sent an envoy to form an alliance with our Tang Kingdom to attack Goguryeo together."

"Your Majesty, Xueyantuo's move may be to find out the truth about our dynasty. We must be on guard."

Changsun Wuji immediately spoke up and said that in his opinion, Xueyantuo was a great enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

The Xueyantuo originally lived in the northern desert and were a branch of the Xiongnu.

In order to weaken the Eastern Turks, the Tang Dynasty implemented the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones. It formed an alliance with the Xueyantuo and let them harass the Eastern Turks from time to time, making the Eastern Turks attacked from all sides and exhausted.

Later, the Eastern Turks were destroyed by Li Jing, and the Xueyantuo took the opportunity to grow bigger and stronger. The Tang Dynasty only killed the main force of the Eastern Turks, but did not occupy much of their territory.

Almost all of the original territory of the Eastern Turks was occupied by the Xueyantuo, who established the Xueyantuo Han Kingdom on the original site of the Eastern Turkic capital.

In addition, ethnic minority tribes such as the Huihe, Bayegu, Adie, Tongluo, Pugu, and Xun also became its affiliates, and it quickly became a new East Turkic regime.

It was also a considerable threat to the Tang Dynasty. Once bitten by it, it would definitely cause serious damage.

Now the focus of the Tang Dynasty is on Goguryeo, and it can be said that the whole country is preparing for war.

At this time, if another Xueyantuo appeared, it would be extremely disadvantageous.
