Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 168 Sun Simiao's Prescription, the Kings Return to the Capital

The military was reporting the plan to Li Shimin.

It can be said that military generals were jumping up and down.

Even Tang Jian was bossing Li Xiaogong, Li Jing and others around.

He also cursed Cheng Zhijie, saying that he was not worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the new army.

Li Xiaogong was almost beaten by the scolding. Li Jing's face turned gloomy and Cheng Zhijie was also embarrassed.

Tang Jian was not afraid at all and was determined to fight back.

You guys have added all kinds of calculations, but why the hell don't you include my ideological guidance?
By that time, there will be no budget for ideological guidance, so where will he get the money?

Your Majesty, when the time comes and you promote this to the entire army, it will be hilarious if it turns out that you have no plan.

Tang Jian fought against many enemies alone and finally brought the matter to Li Shimin, where he received a satisfactory response before he gave up.

"This old dog is taking advantage of others."

Li Xiaogong cursed loudly.

It really pissed him off.

There is such a big troublemaker in the army, but he can't do anything about him.

Are you angry?
The key is that His Majesty and the Crown Prince are both quite protective of him.

Cheng Zhijie smiled apologetically and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

It's really hard for him to comment on this matter.

After all, they have managed to get quite a few temples for the new army.

Fang Xuanling has been so busy lately that he has been working day and night and has not had a good night's sleep.

Basically, I devoted all my time to various archival records, and then racked my brains to think about how to write a good work report for the Secretariat.

Time is short and matters are urgent.

You can't stop for a moment.

Every day when he woke up, he found that his hair had turned a lot whiter.

But he had to do it. The burden fell on his shoulders. If he failed to do it well and made a fool of himself, it would damage his reputation as a wise minister.

"Hey, don't come to me for temple divination."

"You guys do the math on your own, and I'll review it at the end."

"Go find Duke Shen."

The departments below knew that the court wanted to make a fortune, so they all came to him for advice.

His own affairs were a mess, so how could he have the energy to care about the people below?

Fang Xuanling was filled with great resentment towards the prince.

Why didn’t you bring it up earlier, but waited until less than a month later?

This is really a torment to his old bones.

"Dad, drink the medicine."

"When there is some time, Grand Secretary Sun will come to check on your father."

Fang Yizheng felt a little sorry for his father as he hadn't slept well for several days.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, is the prince trying to kill his father?

But the prince appointed Sun Simiao again.

"Okay, I see."

Fang Xuanling said without even looking up: "Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and ask Duke Zhao to give you the funds for the Chang'an pilot education project."

"Yes!"

Fang Yizhi said: "But Aye, drink the medicine first."

"alright."

After drinking the medicine, Fang Xuanling continued to bury his head. Not long after, the housekeeper reported that Sun Simiao had arrived.

Only then did he free his hands and go out with the documents.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Sun." Fang Xuanling said.

"Duke Liang is too polite. It's my duty."

Sun Simiao was examining him, and Fang Xuanling did not waste any time, reading the documents.

"Duke Liang hasn't been resting well recently, and he's a little weak." Sun Simiao said, "He also doesn't eat enough, right?"

"Hey."

Fang Xuanling sighed, "I need to sort out the affairs of the Shangshu Province over the past year and make a work report at the Grand Court Meeting."

"We can't be in a hurry now. We can only seize every moment."

"There's no time for tea, let alone a meal. Just fill your stomach and you won't feel hungry."

He knew that Sun Simiao was the prince's man.

Now it also seems like complaining and showing sympathy.

Sun Simiao twirled his beard and placed one hand on Fang Xuanling's pulse, feeling it carefully.

He said, "I wonder if the Duke knows that the East Palace has something that can print books without manual copying?"

"Oh?"

"What is this?" Fang Xuanling was a little surprised. He put down the document and couldn't help thinking about it.

Sun Simiao would not say such a thing for no reason.

There must be meaning behind it.

He was almost certain that it was the prince's instruction.

"I heard the prince mention it."

"It is said that after this grand court meeting, the work report of the Shangshu Province will be published in a form similar to a court bulletin on a carrier called a newspaper, and it will be distributed throughout the country so that all the people of the Tang Dynasty will know about it."

Sun Simiao said: "This printing method can quickly produce thousands of copies of the work report."

Fang Xuanling put down the document and asked calmly, "Is it really so magical?"

"I haven't seen it, I just heard the prince say so."

Fang Xuanling felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

Seeing this, Sun Simiao smiled and asked, "Now is it time for tea, Duke?"

"It's all thanks to the maester who came and examined my body. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take the time out of my busy schedule to enjoy this cup of tea."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Sun Simiao smiled without saying anything and continued taking the patient's pulse.

Finally, he left a prescription and reminded Fang Xuanling to get proper rest.

Fang Xuanling personally sent Sun Simiao out before returning to his study.

Now, when he looked at the things he had sorted out, he not only had no resentment in his heart, but was full of motivation.

"Aye, I got it back."

"Put it down. I'll look at it later."

"Yes!"

Fang Yizheng found that he had only been out for a short time, but when he came back he felt that something was wrong with the old man.

His spirits were obviously much more energetic than before.

"Aye, what do you think of Grand Secretary Sun?"

"Very good, a good prescription."

Isn’t that a good solution?

He roughly guessed from Sun Simiao that this work report of the Secretariat would not be that simple.

The prince had other ideas.

He may gain considerable benefit from this.

In this way, he would naturally feel more relaxed and proactive. …

Chunming Gate.

Li Chengqian did not set out the ceremonial guards, but just waited here with some officials from the Eastern Palace and the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Li Tai, Li Zhi, Li Yuanchang, Li Yuanying, Changle, Gaoyang, Baling and others were all there.

Not long after, a team was seen appearing from afar.

"finally reached."

"Brother Crown Prince, why bother to mobilize so many troops and come to greet us in person?"

Gao Yang curled his lips and said, "It's freezing cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Hearing this, before Li Chengqian could say anything, Changle patted Gao Yang on the back and said, "You are so disrespectful."

"If you dare to say anything more, I'll make you suffer."

Gao Yang was scolded for no reason and turned around with a look of dissatisfaction.

Li Zhi had no choice but to persuade his sister.

At this time.

This huge team finally came closer.

As soon as Li Chengqian moved, several people jumped down from the carriages and walked forward quickly in cloaks.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I respectfully ask about your health!"

Several people paid homage.

Li Chengqian went over and helped them all up.

"We are all brothers, no need to be polite."

"Thank you for all the hard work you've put in coming all the way here."

Li Chengqian looked at his brothers and said, "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become much calmer now."

"Fifth brother..."

He reached out and patted Li You's shoulder hard, "You've grown up too."

"Are you okay?"

Qi Wang Li You grinned and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I am doing fine now."

"That's good."

Li Chengqian said: "The other brothers will arrive in the next two days."

"Come, let's go see Changle, Uncle Han and the others first."

Li Ke and Li You paid their respects immediately.

"It's my turn to greet my brothers."

Changle smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, brothers. I miss you so much."

"You two boys have really grown up." Li Yuanchang also laughed.

Li Yuanying blinked his eyes and said, "Call me uncle."

Snapped!
Li Yuanchang hit him without thinking, making him grimacing.

"Third brother."

"Fourth brother!"

Li Ke was also looking at the 'burly' younger brother of the King of Wei. He hadn't seen him for a long time and found that the temperament of the younger brother of the King of Wei did not seem to be as sharp as rumored. Instead, he seemed more weak and bookish.

Li You greeted him, "Hello, fourth brother."

"Brother You, thank you for your courtesy."

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Chengqian held each of their hands. Li Ke obviously had not expected that his brother the Crown Prince would be so enthusiastic. Feeling the warmth coming from his palms, he was a little uncomfortable.

Li You, on the contrary, shook Li Chengqian's hand vigorously.

Li Chengqian pinched him back.

"Let's go."

"The other brothers will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Let's go to the palace to see His Majesty first."

Regarding the return of his two sons, Li Shimin acted like a parent, asked a few questions and then sent them away.

Li Chengqian took them to hold a welcoming banquet in the East Palace.

Over the next two days, Li Chengqian and the others successively welcomed the younger brothers who had come.

at last.

All the princes and dukes who were not in Chang'an returned to Chang'an.

It's not so easy for them to come back.

It was Li Chengqian who suggested calling back all his brothers who were away from home to celebrate the New Year together.

Li Shimin agreed without much hesitation and issued an imperial decree to the princes and dukes from all over the country, asking them to come to Chang'an.

As the elder brother, it was understandable that Li Chengqian warmly welcomed his younger brothers.

It also shows his love and care for his younger brothers.

"Wulang, tell me what you did in Qizhou."

After Li Chengqian arranged things for his younger brothers, he summoned Prince of Qi Li You alone.

"Brother, I didn't do anything."

Li You said with a guilty conscience.

"I didn't do anything?" Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly and put on a fierce posture, "Don't make me tell you."

“Uh…!” Li You lowered his eyebrows and dared not speak.

"When you were recuperating in Chang'an, even after you recovered, I didn't want you to go to your fiefdom, but you insisted on going."

"The results of it?"

Li Chengqian cursed: "Look at the shit you did in Qizhou."

"Bastard thing."

"If I hadn't suppressed it for you, would you have been able to bear the impeachment of the entire court?"

Li You muttered, "It's not a big deal, why are you so angry, brother?"

"Those imperial censors and the like are just making up stories and cannot be counted."

Li Chengqian's face was as gloomy as water and he waved for him to come over.

Li You stepped forward cautiously, and Li Chengqian kicked him hard.

"You bastard, I see that you are used to being domineering and arrogant outside, and you have learned to quibble and make up excuses in front of me."

"It's not a big deal?"

Li You staggered after being kicked. Li Chengqian said in a deep voice, "Come here!"

He had no choice but to move forward hesitantly, and as expected, there was another kick.

"come over!"

Li You felt pain, but dared not to move forward.

Li Chengqian kicked him again without saying anything. He just looked at him and Li You stepped forward obediently.

After eating five or six times, I finally stopped.

"You are my brother, I want to protect you, but if you don't improve, there will be a day when I can't protect you anymore."

After Li Chengqian sat down, he said, "During this period of time, you should stay by my side."

"Your uncle."

"I will send someone to warn him to stay in line and not to jump up and down."

"If you dare to do it again, I will never show mercy."
