Chapter 595 Li Tai is critically ill
"What should I do if my father finds out about this?" Li Chengqian said hesitantly.
Although he really wanted Li Tai to join the feudal clan, he had to consider Li Shimin's attitude.
Li Shimin's attitude towards him has changed a lot today, he is not as strict as before, and he will be reprimanded for the slightest mistake.
Li Chengqian didn't know why Li Shimin changed suddenly, but this change was good for him, and he didn't want to make Li Shimin angry because of it.
"Your Highness, rumors are spreading very quickly. If you find a few people to say something among the people, it will soon spread throughout Chang'an. At that time, everyone will be in a round of Wei Wang's fiefdom. How to investigate?" Du He saw Li Chengqian Hesitant, a little anxious.
If not, how to withdraw his abilities?
Only when Li Tai went to the fief, what he did would be useful.
"Since that's the case, let's do as you say. Remember, you must not let the wind leak." Li Chengqian confessed.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be cautious." Du He assured.
……
"What are you talking about! King Wei is seriously ill? How is it possible? He was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly become seriously ill?" Empress Changsun looked at Fang Zhong coldly.
As soon as she served Li Shimin and sent Li Shimin to the court, Fang Zhong came over on the back foot.
Normally, Empress Changsun wouldn't ask any more questions, for she might be going to visit Li Tai right away.
But it was a coincidence that Li Tai was ill this time. Yesterday Li Shimin ordered him to become a vassal, and he fell ill today.
Not long after Empress Changsun married Li Shimin, the Li family rebelled, and they have been in charge of the harem for many years. I have never seen any conspiracy.
Although Li Tai was her own son, such a 'coincidence' made her suspicious.
"Back to the Empress, this matter is absolutely true. Yesterday His Royal Highness came back from the palace, and he was unhappy, and the dinner was useless. In the middle of the night, the maid came to the old slave and said that His Royal Highness was hot and unconscious. The old slave quickly sent someone I went to see a doctor for a diagnosis. The doctor said that His Royal Highness was suffering from a cold, and his condition was very serious. It was late at night, and the old slave did not dare to knock on the palace door. The old slave came at dawn, and the empress sent an imperial doctor to rescue His Highness. Go." Fang Zhong knelt on the ground and said hoarsely.
Of course he knew why Li Tai was ill, but he didn't dare to say it.
It is a capital offense for a slave to sue the master. Even if he denounces Li Tai, he will not be rewarded and will be executed.
In some TV dramas of later generations, some domestic slaves reported on their masters, all of which are nonsense.
In ancient times, mutual concealment was emphasized. In order to maintain the religious principle and family system, the term "relative concealment" was interpreted and tested, and then formed a principle of ancient criminal law that relatives should conceal each other's guilt. Failure to report or testify is not considered a crime, but vice versa.
Hiding relatives from each other was a proposition put forward by Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.During the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jins, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the principle of relative concealment was further confirmed.The laws of the Tang Dynasty made specific regulations on the principle of mutual concealment between relatives, and the regulations in subsequent dynasties were generally the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. There were three main points: relatives who committed crimes concealed each other, regardless of the crime or a reduced sentence; There are two types of crimes that do not apply the principle of concealment between relatives: one is treason, treason, treason and certain other serious crimes, and the other is the crime of mutual assault by certain relatives.
To put it bluntly, if a family member commits a crime, not only cannot report it, but also conceal it for him.
It is not a crime to conceal and cover up even if it is discovered. If you do not conceal it, you will be punished.
House slaves serve their masters and have access to more secrets. If they can report at will, wouldn't it be a mess.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a slave suing the master.
Of course, the premise of all this is not to rebel.
Li Tai was just pretending to be sick, not treason, but seriously deceiving the emperor, once he said it, in order to silence him, he would definitely die.
"Come here, pass on the order of the palace, let the imperial physician order to go to the Furong Garden to heal the king of Wei immediately." Empress Changsun ordered.
She didn't see any signs of lying on Fang Zhong's face. She has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she still has some insight to ask herself.
Since Fang Zhong didn't lie, then Li Tai's illness is true.
At this moment, Empress Changsun immediately worried about her son, so she couldn't think of anything else.
It's not how good Fang Zhong's acting skills are.
Although Fang Zhong has been in the palace for many years and is relatively calm when encountering some major events, it is a bit exaggerated to say that he can lie in front of Empress Changsun without leaking any flaws.
If he really had that ability, he probably would have made his mark a long time ago, and he wouldn't be sent to serve Li Tai after he opened the mansion.
Li Tai originally wanted to take a cold shower so that he could catch the cold so he could stay in Chang'an, but he overestimated his body.
His body is not good, born fat.
There are many fat people in the world, but those who are naturally fat obviously have physical problems.
In history, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di's son, was also similar to Li Tai, born fat.
After Zhu Di's death, he died after being the emperor for a year, and he only lived to be more than 40 years old.
Over 40 years old was not considered short life in ancient times, especially for emperors.
According to records in China, there were 83 dynasties, 550 nine emperors, and the average life expectancy was less than 40 years old.
Zhu Gaochi lived to his early forties, far exceeding the average age.
But the emperor died early, either because he was busy with political affairs or because he was addicted to women.
And Zhu Gaochi only served as emperor for one year, so it doesn't make sense to say that he was exhausted or obsessed with women, obviously because he was born obese.
Li Tai's health has been poor since he was a child. Although he has been recuperated by the imperial doctor these years and seems to be normal, it is just an appearance.
Yesterday, he took a cold shower and contracted a cold, which broke the appearance and fell into a coma.
This frightened Fang Zhong. If something happened to Li Tai, he would be finished if the investigation was carried out.
Whether it was because he was worried about Li Tai or for himself, he was very eager, so he did not arouse the suspicion of Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun finished giving her orders, but she was still worried, and the accountant waited for Li Shimin to report to him after he left the court, and then went out of the palace to Furong Garden.
Empress Changsun's doing so was exceeding the rules. Although she was a queen, she did not have the right to leave the palace without permission.
Li Junxian didn't dare to stop him, so he had to send someone to report.
Tai Chi Hall
Li Shimin sat high on the dragon chair and listened to the courtier's performance.
Li Mu stood waiting not far away.
At this moment, a little eunuch winked at Li Mu.
Li Mu remained calm and walked over without making a sound.
The eunuchs and maids serving in the palace can walk without making a sound, which is considered a basic skill.
It's not that they can't make a sound when they walk, but that they can't make a sound when they need to.
The little eunuch waited for Li Mu to come closer, and leaned over to whisper a few words in Li Mu's ear.
After Li Mu listened, he came to Li Shimin and whispered: "Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded, he knew that Li Mu would not disturb him at this time, unless something important happened.
Li Mu quickly came to Li Shimin and whispered.
The ministers immediately fell silent.
After hearing this, Li Shimin's face changed drastically, he waved his hand and said, "Retire."
