Chapter 1122 This Is Father’s Will
How can things today be compared with what happened before?
The emperor was in Chang'an at that time, and even if there was any big trouble, the emperor would always have the answer.
What now?
They had heard that the Sixteen Guards of Nanya were all under the control of Li Tai.
Even the imperial army in front of them had unfamiliar faces today. ??
Plus the news circulating outside these days.
It was said that the emperor was hit by a poisonous arrow outside and his life was in danger.
The emperor also knew that something happened to Zhao Chen and that he was assassinated by Prince Li Tai.
There are even rumors that the emperor has personally acknowledged Zhao Chen's identity, just as originally rumored.
Li Tai secretly harmed his brother, how could the emperor let him go?
Nowadays, Li Tai's actions clearly show signs of rebellion.
Duan Lun looked at the two corpses on the ground and suddenly realized why Fang Xuanling had told himself that when he entered the palace just now, his life was the most important thing.
These two people just asked Li Tai not to close the door of Tai Chi Hall, but they even chopped off their heads?
If there were any other consequences, wouldn't it mean confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?
All the officials did not dare to speak out, but Gao Shilian stood up.
"What does the prince want to do today?"
"Self-proclaimed emperor?"
"If this is really the case, please go down and ask the people of the world whether they agree or not." Gao Shilian's face was stern.
He never thought about why a well-behaved child would embark on such a path.
The emperor was not kind to him, Li Tai. Even though he knew Zhao Chen's identity, he still made Li Tai the crown prince.
But what about Li Tai?
Killed two officials in Taiji Hall in front of hundreds of officials?
Li Tai looked at the young Gao Shilian.
The reason why I invited Gao Shilian here today is to let Gao Shilian speak for me.
After all, no matter what, he, Li Tai, is the biological son of Empress Changsun, and Empress Changsun is his niece Gao Shilian.
self and high
Shi Lian, that is also a relative.
Shouldn't Gao Shilian be happy that the throne of the Tang Dynasty fell on him?
Li Tai felt a little angry.
If others had said this, he would have had them killed long ago.
"I have told you a long time ago that there are people in the court who are secretly colluding with Goguryeo and slandering me with rumors."
"What do you mean, I am plotting against Zhao Chen?"
"It is true that I have a conflict with Zhao Chen, but how could I ignore the safety of the Tang Dynasty for my own selfish desires?"
"What's more, some people say that Zhao Chen is my royal brother. If this is true, how could I harm my royal brother?"
"Would you, my ministers, do anything to your brother?"
"I already have definite information about these two people just now, and I know that they are Goguryeo's spies."
"Then they will be put to death." Li Tai made up nonsense in front of everyone with an expressionless face.
Nowadays, there are only rumors circulating outside, and no one can directly confirm it.
Cheng Yaojin, who was sent back by the emperor, has been secretly detained by people sent by Li Tai. Who knows what happened on the front line.
Li Tai was desperate at this moment.
Now that Zhao Chen is dead, he has sent people to surround the medical school in Wannian County, just to prevent Sun Simiao from treating the emperor.
As a result, there must be no way to cure the emperor's poison.
Now Li Tai just needs to wait for time.
"These are all the words of His Highness the Crown Prince. How can we believe His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I have heard that Your Majesty was hit by a poisonous arrow on the front line and is now in critical danger. However, His Highness, you actually sent people to surround the medical school in Wannian County."
"Sun Simiao is not allowed to leave Chang'an City."
"I don't understand, Prince
Your Highness, what does this mean? "A minister stood up and questioned Li Tai.
Li Tai just glanced at the minister who stood up, and the minister couldn't help but take two steps back.
Li Tai smiled faintly and thought that his harsh methods just now were indeed effective.
"This is my father's will. As the prince, I should follow it."
"Your Majesty's will?"
"How could His Majesty have such an intention to stop Sun Simiao in Chang'an City and let him get poisoned?"
"I absolutely do not believe that His Majesty would have such a will."
"Yes, knowing that he was hit by a poisonous arrow and not letting Sun Simiao go to treat him is completely unreasonable."
All the officials didn't believe it, but Li Tai looked calm and waved to Kong Yingda, who then saw Kong Yingda holding out an imperial edict.
"This is the imperial edict that Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin brought back from the front line yesterday. Take a look for yourselves." Kong Yingda handed the imperial edict to Fang Xuanling, who had never spoken.
Fang Xuanling frowned.
Unfolding the imperial edict, it turned out that it asked Li Tai to surround the medical school, and even asked Li Tai to supervise all officials.
And this handwriting was indeed written by the emperor.
There is also the emperor's seal on it.
Fang Xuanling passed the imperial edict to Duan Lun behind him, and all the officials gathered around him.
After seeing the contents of the imperial edict, many people became pale on the spot.
They still couldn't figure out why the emperor had such an imperial edict.
"Everyone, who of you has any objections?" Li Tai glanced at the officials, and everyone lowered their heads.
…
"How is your Majesty doing today?" Xu Shiji and the military doctor asked at the Tang Army camp.
Xu Shiji didn't sleep last night.
They were both waiting for news about whether Niu Jinda had found Zhao Chen in the transport team, and also waiting to hear about the emperor's situation.
After they left yesterday, the emperor's condition suddenly worsened.

The military doctor went to diagnose and treat the emperor all night, and did not leave the camp until now.
Xu Shiji waited here all night, and he was also very anxious at this moment.
The other generals also looked anxious.
"Your Majesty's situation is a bit difficult. The poison has almost invaded the bone marrow. Your Majesty coughed up blood from time to time last night. In this situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make it to Cangzhou." The words of the military doctor made everyone look ashen.
The emperor couldn't even make time to go to Cangzhou, so what should they do now?
The military doctor shook his head, held hands with the other generals, and dragged his tired body away.
All the generals looked at Xu Shiji, with fear in their eyes.
They are not afraid of fighting the enemy with their lives, but if the emperor dies on the way to this personal expedition, then they will be the sinners of the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Commander, how are you now?" a general asked. The general who had experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield, his voice was trembling a little at this moment.
If the emperor dies in a foreign country, how will they explain to the people of the world?
Although only one person spoke, the others all looked at Xu Shiji.
What solution can Xu Shiji think of at this moment?
It was okay for him to command the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to charge and kill, but what could he do about treating illnesses and saving lives?
Xu Shiji's legs were a little weak. He put his right hand on the ground and sat down slowly, leaning his back on a small stone.
Looking at the emperor's tent, he felt slightly absent-minded.
"Is there any news from General Niu?" Xu Shiji looked over and asked the other generals.
At this moment, he could only place his hope on Niu Jinda, hoping that he could find Zhao Chen in the transportation team.
But was Zhao Chen in the transport team or was something really wrong at that time?
Xu Shiji was not sure at all.
The other generals also shook their heads slowly when they heard Xu Shiji's question.
They didn't know what was going on at Niu Jinda's side.
