Four hundred and sixtieth eight chapters: saved
Regarding Zhang Liang, most people think that he is just a reckless man, so they are not prepared for it.
But the results of Baiqi's thorough investigation this time are extremely terrifying.
There were more than 500 adopted sons, and these people were filled with the army. Some were generals from the Cavalry Mansion, some were lieutenants in the imperial guards, and the lowest was also a team leader.
This is equivalent to infiltrating the entire Tang army.
What's more, among these five hundred people, there are many friends and old friends in the army. Even if some people are just trying to cling to this honorary Duke, they may not really have a father-son relationship.
But once Zhang Liang wants to rebel, these adopted sons will be tied up on a chariot by Zhang Liang. After all, once Zhang Liang fails and the court pursues them later, they will die without a place to bury them.
At this time, Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the court realized why Zhang Liang dared to be so reckless.
If he killed Li Shimin, killed Li Jing, Cheng Yaojinren and others, if he really took the Tai Chi Palace with the help of his subordinates and held Li Yuan hostage, the world... Even if the Tang Dynasty could barely be saved, after experiencing such a battle, it would be no less than the Hou Jing Rebellion in the Southern Dynasty, which would be a fatal blow to the newly born Tang Dynasty.
So Li Shimin was so scared that he was not sure whether the Tang Dynasty could be preserved.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai led the new army to decisively quell the rebellion, which became particularly important.
This not only saved Li Shimin and Li Jingren, but also completely cut off the hidden dangers caused thereafter.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai looked at the weak Li Shimin, sighed, and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, at this time, it's time to recover from the wounds, so don't worry about these things anymore."
Li Shimin's eyes were turbid and tired, but he stared at Chen Zhengtai motionless, just...
"Ahem...ahhhh..."
Chen Zhengtai was not willing to talk to Li Shimin at this time. He was afraid of consuming Li Shimin's strength, so he called a doctor from Erpigou aside: "How is Your Majesty's injury?"
"Your Majesty is very lucky." The doctor was cautious. His eyes were covered with blood, and he looked extremely tired. He was obviously waiting for the waiter.
He said: "This arrow did not penetrate the ventricle, but was deviated a little. Otherwise, he would definitely die. But even so... the biggest difficulty now is that the arrow shot into the chest is afraid that it cannot be pulled out easily, and only when it is pulled out... something is left, or... causing secondary damage, affecting the heart. However, if the arrow is not pulled out, the wound will never heal, which is not possible. Although it is now medicine... the situation is already very critical."
Chen Zhengtai nodded.
In ancient times, whether there is a central organ or not, it will be a situation of death. So Li Shimin... can only prepare for his funeral at this time.
Chen Zhengtai seemed very heavy and couldn't help but think... If it were in the future, I was afraid that there would be a possibility of saving it, but unfortunately... this era...
Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Shimin with a sad face.
But Li Shimin on the sickbed shook his hand hard.
Chen Zhengtai hurried forward again and lay on the bed: "Your Majesty should have a good rest."
"I can't live long." Li Shimin said with difficulty: "I have never tried to be like this today, at the mercy of others, and even the simplest daily life needs to be taken care of... If I die at this time, I have too many regrets. I have many children. But although I am a father, I am a king. They are children, but how can I be too intimate with my children? For ministers..., I am a king, they are ministers. I need to be solemn and majestic in front of them. Otherwise, how can I control the ministers? There are probably only two people around me who can speak, one is Guanyin maid, and the other is you..."
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions, but when he thought about it carefully, isn't that the same?
He kept nodding, feeling unspeakable for a moment, and couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Your Majesty... don't have to be so pessimistic."
Li Shimin continued, "I have fought on the battlefield, and I don't know how many dead souls are under the sword. How big is I? Today, my energy is gone... You don't have to comfort me... I have too many things in my heart that I can't let go..."
Chen Zhengtai had to listen patiently, and Li Shimin said, "The Guanyin maid and I are all prosperous. If I die, I am afraid she will not live long. As a son-in-law and disciple, you should go around more and take... the child... that child..."
Chen Zhengtai felt sad from his heart and even choked up.
As I spoke, the following words became vague.
Chen Zhengtai tiptoed up and turned around, but saw that Li Chengqian was secretly sad in the corner of the bedroom.
Chen Zhengtai approached him: "Your Highness, what's going on with the Empress now?"
Li Chengqian said sadly: "My mother is already sick when she hears this incident... I will still have to wait there later."
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "You come out, I have something to say to you."
Li Chengqian got up and obediently followed Chen Zhengtai out of the Ziwei Pedestal Hall.
The two arrived in a corridor. Chen Zhengtai looked at the frustrated Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, I'm afraid your Majesty will not succeed."
"I know what I know in my heart." Li Chengqian said: "Oh..."
Chen Zhengtai looked at him calmly and said, "Is Your Highness really sad or fake sad?"
Li Chengqian: “…”
Li Chengqian then glared at Chen Zhengtai, and his chest began to rise and fall. In Li Chengqian's opinion, Chen Zhengtai was insulting him.
There was a little more anger in the crying voice: "What did you say?"
Chen Zhengtai was embarrassed for a moment. No wonder I, Chen Zhengtai. Isn’t this the tradition of your Li family? It’s better to ask clearly and understand the matter.
So Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Your Highness answered yes."
Li Chengqian frowned and finally said solemnly: "I...I hope my father is safe. I am still young and am anxious to be the emperor. Now that my father and mother are like this, I can't be happy even if I become the emperor."
Chen Zhengtai looked at him deeply, as if he had made an important decision, and then said, "Then we will know the destiny of heaven and do our best."
"Do your job?" Li Chengqian looked at Chen Zhengtai solemnly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Chen Zhengtai said directly: "We have to find a way to save it!"
"Can you save me?" Li Chengqian looked surprised.
Chen Zhengtai nodded, but was not sure: "It is only 10% possible, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This matter is of great importance...it must be kept confidential."
When Li Chengqian heard about the possibility of 10% of the possibility, he suddenly became depressed again.
Then, he put his hands behind his back and said anxiously: "How to save me?"
"Take the arrow open and take out the arrow." Chen Zhengtai said: "And, ordinary people must not dare to do it. The probability of survival is too low. Who dares to take such a big risk? But... such a large operation requires a large number of people. After thinking about it, only His Royal Highness, and I will count me, but... I am not enough. If it were the Empress and Princess Changle, plus Xiurong, it might be enough. This matter must be extremely confidential. If the matter is leaked, it will probably cause an uproar in the court."
You know, the ancients valued completeness.
Especially the emperor, even if he dies, he will be buried completely.
In the funeral system, the emphasis is on death as if it is alive. It means that when you live, you should die completely and enjoy the treatment of your life. This treatment is also physically complete.
Therefore, when the emperor pardoned the criminals, he said that he would leave a whole body, which was a kind of grace to some extent, because a person cut off his head, which means that he would go underground and lose his integrity.
Li Chengqian said in surprise: "This...is this OK?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "If Your Highness wants Your Majesty to be alive, you can give it a try. If even Your Highness gives up, I will never dare to be so ruthless."
Li Chengqian understood Chen Zhengtai’s meaning, whether to save it or not is now only within Li Chengqian’s thoughts!
He held his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and thought anxiously.
After a long time, he raised his eyes and his eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't save me, my father will really have no chance. In the future, I know that I have given up my chance of life. I'm afraid I'm not at all. Okay! Save! I will report to my mother... what preparations do you... do you want to make?"
Chen Zhengtai breathed a little relieved and said, "We all have to prepare, and the speed must be fast, before the wound worsens. Otherwise, everything will be late. I will go back to the house first... After two hours, we will gather here."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Although the senior brother said he was only 10% sure, it's okay... it's okay. Just try your best. Can Zhang Lishi hide it too?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "It's not easy to hide it from Zhang Lishi in this palace. Your Highness will ask your mother first and then make a decision."
Li Chengqian did not hesitate anymore and said goodbye to Chen Zhengtai directly.
Chen Zhengtai left the palace and then rushed back home.
When the third uncle heard that Chen Zhengtai was back, he still shouted: "Zhengtai, he came just right... This child... looks so popular and ignored me. Our Chen family..."
Seeing Chen Zhengtai running away anxiously, the third uncle could only shake his head.
The situation has been very bad these two days, the market is turbulent, and the Chen family has lost their title again, which gives people a signal that the storm is coming, and no one can guarantee whether the Chen family still has a saint.
In order to prevent changes, my third uncle walked around all day in the past few days and started weaving a network just in case.
He originally wanted to discuss with Chen Zhengtai, but he didn't know that when Chen Zhengtai arrived home, he ran away without paying attention.
There is a special secret room in the Chen family's warehouse, which can only be opened by Chen Zhengtai, and no one is allowed to get close to him. At this time, Chen Zhengtai was holding up the oil lamp and entering the secret room.
The secret room was very cold, but in order to keep it dry, Chen Zhengtai asked someone to prepare some lime to sprinkle around.
At this time, he tiptoed to open a cabinet, and the mountaineering bag that he came with him was exposed in front of Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai put the oil lamp aside and raised the mountaineering bag. The mountaineering bag had long been shriveled, and most of the things inside had been taken away by Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai carefully took out the things from the mountaineering bag, searched for a long time, sorted all the medicines and equipment, and then took out a cloth bag he carried with him, picked up some things, and put the mountaineering bag back in place.
After coming out of the warehouse, Chen Zhengtai first went to meet Princess Sui'an and talked about the general situation with Princess Sui'an.
In fact, when the bad news came, Princess Sui'an had been anxious, but she did not dare to neglect her. After cleaning up for a while, she followed Chen Zhengtai into the palace.
Back in the palace, she arrived at the agreed place with Li Chengqian. Behind Li Chengqian was Princess Changle. She raised her eyes and looked at Chen Zhengtai and Princess Sui'an intricately, and then greeted her.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Chengqian: "If the queen of her mother doesn't come, I'm afraid... she will have to find another person."
———
"The mother has agreed." Li Chengqian said: "She heard that she was still saved. She was on the sickbed, but she turned over with a wheel and suddenly became extremely energetic. She just said everything was up to you and said whatever you said was what you said. Even if there was any mistake, she would never be punished."
Chen Zhengtai probably thought of this possibility, so he was not surprised: "The most urgent task now is to practice surgery first, and the surgery... I think you have heard of it. When you broke your leg, it was the surgery that Your Majesty and I did for you. Now I have to teach you some methods, and there are two princesses and the empress. Everyone has to start now and not delay it."
"Practice?" Li Chengqian said in surprise: "Who should I find to practice?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "This is simple. Find some pigs and dogs and shoot them an arrow. In addition... the most important thing is that there must be blood. I have to check whose blood type is better to match His Majesty."
"I am his son, I'll do it." Li Chengqian said generously.
Chen Zhengtai looked him up and down: "This is not necessarily the case."
"What?" Li Chengqian was shocked: "You mean... Isn't it actually..."
Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "Your Highness, don't think about it badly. What I mean is that even if it is your own son, the blood type may not match. I can come here to test it. Call everyone first, all the children of the royal family... but don't tell them about the operation."
In fact, it is a very headache to find a source of blood.
On the one hand, a large amount of blood is needed, and in this era, there is no blood storage technology. Since that is the case, the best way is to have blood transfusions on the spot.
But once blood transfusions are on the spot, you must ensure that the person can trust it.
After thinking about it, I can only choose from a limited royal family.
As for eunuchs, that is absolutely impossible. The ancients paid attention to respect and respect. You said that the blood of a certain eunuch was mixed into the emperor's blood. Is this awesome? A person's identity can be distinguished by blood. So is this emperor an emperor or an eunuch?
However, most of Li Shimin's children are still young and are not suitable for large-scale blood transfusions... Therefore... Chen Zhengtai is not testing.
