"Your Majesty!" Zhangsun Wuji rushed forward.
"Summon the Imperial Physician!" Fang Xuanling shouted.
An hour later, Li Shi Min was lying on the dragon bed, his face pale.
"Imperial Physician, how is His Majesty?" Empress Zhangsun asked.
The imperial physician bowed and replied,""Replying to the Empress, His Majesty is fine and will wake up soon!”
Empress Zhangsun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the imperial physician's words.
The imperial physician continued," However, not long ago, His Majesty had already vomited blood once. Now, he is angry again. If this continues, his Sacred Body will be in danger!"”
Empress Zhangsun frowned. What did the imperial physician mean? Did he mean that the Emperor would vomit blood frequently and die from it?
Just as she was about to flare up, she heard a low cry."Guanyin maid!"
Guanyin Maid was Empress Zhangsun's nickname, and only Li Shimin could address her. She quickly came to the bedside, grabbed Li Shimin's right hand, and lowered her head, saying,""Second brother, the Guanyin maid is here!"
Hearing Empress Zhangsun's voice, Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes. After a moment, he whispered to Empress Zhangsun,""Zhangsun Wuji, where are Fang Xuanling and the others?”
Empress Zhangsun panicked and said hurriedly,""Second brother, your health is more important. Don't worry about the matters in the court for now!”
Li Shiming shook his head and said," Go and get Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Li Ji. I have something important to do!"”
Empress Zhangsun still wanted to argue and let Li Shimin rest, but Li Shimin waved his hand. Empress Zhangsun had no choice but to summon Zhangsun Wuji and the others.
Zhangsun Wuji and the other ministers were concerned about Li Shimin's safety and had been waiting outside the palace.
Hearing the summons, the five of them quickly walked to the dragon bed and stood to the side.
Li Shi Min struggled to sit up and said,""Wuji, pass on my decree to seal off all news of the defeat. If anyone spreads the news in Chang 'an, arrest them immediately!”
Zhangsun Wuji quickly agreed. Li Shimin had only ascended the throne for a month, and the Tang Empire was still unstable. If Chang 'an fell into chaos, it would be terrible.
"Apothecary, tell me the details of Zhang Liang's defeat!" Li Shi Min asked Li Jing.”
At this moment, Li Jing had already received all the news of Zhang Liang's defeat and quickly recounted the process of Li Chengdao robbing the camp.
After a long time, Li Shi Min sighed and said,"I didn't expect my nephew to be so outstanding. He's both skilled in martial arts and martial arts. As expected, a tiger father like a dog son!”
From Li Jing's recount, he knew that Zhang Liang did not make any mistakes.
Furthermore, Zhang Liang's final judgment was accurate, which was why he was able to protect the 20,000 strong army. The defeat could only be blamed on Li Chengdao being too strong.
It was a risky move, and he dared to break into the camp with thirteen people. If it hadn't happened so soon, Li Shi Min wouldn't have believed it.
The rest of the ministers also looked serious. They didn't expect a teenager to be so brave and decisive. He dared to break into the camp with more than ten people. What was even more impressive was that he actually succeeded.
Everyone was silent for a moment. They all admired Li Chengdao very much.
After a while, Li Shimin asked Du Ruhui,""Keming, what do you think of the current plan?”
Every time there was a big matter, Li Shimin would first seek Du Ruhui's opinion.
Du Ruhui pondered for a moment and said,"Li Chengdao cannot be underestimated. I'm afraid that the three generals, Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Gongjin, and Zhang Liang, are not his match!"”
Li Shi Min nodded. In just two battles, he could see that Li Chengdao was not only brave but also resourceful. The three of them were indeed no match for him.
"Keming, what do you think?" Li Shi Min said.
Du Ruhui's gaze turned cold as he said," Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Gongjin, quickly approach Zhang Liang's remaining army. The three armies will gather together. Then, the court will order the generals to lead the three armies!"”
"Then who does Keming think should lead the army?”Li Shi Min asked.
Du Ruhui pondered for a moment and said,"Bingzhou Governor Li Ji, Great General Li can take on this great responsibility!"”
Li Ji? Li Shimin was stunned. He thought Du Ruhui would recommend Li Jing!
After all, Li Jing was the Minister of War, and no one in the Great Tang could match his military prowess.
However, after some thought, he understood Du Ruhui's good intentions.
In the struggle for the throne between him and Li Jiancheng, Li Jing had remained neutral and had never sided with anyone, indicating that Li Jing was only loyal to the Great Tang.
Moreover, Li Shimin also knew that Li Jing secretly admired Li Jiancheng's character. If he sent Li Jiancheng out to battle, he would love Li Chengdao and would not let Li Chengdao off easily.
As for Li Ji, his ability to use troops was unquestionable. He was the number two figure in the Tang army, and it would not be a problem for him to deal with a teenager.
Thus, Li Shimin said to Li Ji,""Bingzhou Governor Li Ji, listen up!"
When Li Ji heard this, he quickly knelt down and said loudly,""Li Ji is here!"
"Then I will order you to be the Great General for the Suppression of Serenity, commanding Zhang Liang, Cheng Zhijie, and Zhang Gongjin's three armies! Destroy the Youzhou rebels and capture Li Chengdao, Luo Yi, and the others alive within three months!”
"Your subject, Li Ji, receives the decree!"
……
Li Chengdao's palace in Youzhou.
"What is it? Li Shi Min sent Li Ji to lead the army? Destroy Youzhou Province in three months?"
Hearing the news that Li Ji was coming, the Youzhou generals instantly exploded.
