Chapter 282 Li Jing
"How is the situation over there, Your Majesty?" While reviewing the memorials, Li Chengqian asked Wang Quan about Li Er who was recuperating in Cuiwei Palace.
As time went by, Li Er's condition became more serious, Li Chengqian gained more power, and his own aura became more and more majestic.
Li Er's time is running out, and it is hard to tell when Li Er will die. The closer it is to this time, the easier it is to place spies around Li Er.
Now in the entire Cuiwei Palace, nearly 80% of the people are Li Chengqian's people, gathering information for Li Chengqian 24 hours a day.
Every day, information between Cuiwei Palace and Chang'an is constantly transmitted, and reports are reported to the Crown Prince at all times.
"There's news that your Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse. Your Majesty has asked the Indian alchemist to go to Cuiwei Palace to make elixirs."
"General Li Anyan sent a message saying that he hopes your highness can make preparations early." Wang Quan said.
Li Anyan meant to let Li Chengqian control the capital as soon as possible. Once there is a change in Cuiwei Palace, the situation here can also be controlled. Li Chengqian can even directly become emperor in Chang'an.
We must not give people like Prince Jin a chance to take advantage of.
With Li Anyan and Princess Gaoyang in Cuiwei Palace, Li Chengqian is not worried at all. With Li Zhi's little Taoist skills, he can't make any waves.
As for Chang'an, Li Jing is not dead yet, and now is not the time to take action. After all, many generals in the court are his old patrons.
But if you calculate the time, Li Jing won't live long! As long as he passes away, Li Chengqian will be able to fully control the defense of the capital and the palace guards.
"What's the situation with Li Jing? He has been ill for a while! Many doctors have been sent to see him. How is his current situation?" Li Chengqian put the memorial in his hand aside and said.
"My lord, General Li Jing's condition is not optimistic. The doctor said that he will die in the next two days." Wang Quan said.
He didn't understand why the prince was so concerned about Li Jing's life or death. Now that His Majesty seemed to be dying, shouldn't he be preparing for the enthronement?
So as not to be in a hurry when the time comes.
With the news coming back from Cuiwei Palace, everyone in the East Palace actually knew that His Majesty Li II would not live long.
The prince will ascend the throne and take over the entire Tang Dynasty. This is a foregone conclusion.
Wang Quan and his men have also made further plans. Once the prince becomes the new emperor, their status will also rise.
He, Wang Quan, will also be promoted from the head of the eunuchs to the head of the eunuchs, the eunuch supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
. "Old General Li Jing has fought for the Tang Dynasty all his life, and he worked hard until his death. Now he is seriously ill.
As the prince, how can I not care about his condition?" "If I don't care about the meritorious officials who have fought for the Tang Dynasty all their lives, wouldn't it make the people of the world feel disappointed?"
"Let the imperial physician work harder and keep an eye on General Li Jing's condition at all times. The things and meals in the palace should also be given to his family." Li Chengqian said.
As the crown prince, it is only natural for him to care about his meritorious officials. This will help Li Chengqian win people's hearts. He does not require Li Jing to take sides, as long as he remains neutral.
Besides, a dying person is not a big threat to Li Chengqian, not to mention that his position as the crown prince is now as solid as a rock.
The reason why he treats Li Jing like this is, firstly, to show off, and secondly, to guess when Li Er will die so that he can make preparations.
Not long after Li Jing's death, Li Er also died in Cuiwei Palace, which was Li Er's final resting place.
Of course, another point is that Li Jing's eldest son Li Dejian is Li Chengqian's man, and they have a close personal relationship on weekdays.
"Yes!" Wang Quan accepted the order, turned around and left directly.
"Wait!" Li Chengqian called him just as he was walking without making any progress. Wang Quan turned around and said, "My lord, do you have any other instructions?"
"By the way, report General Li Jing's condition to His Majesty." Li Chengqian said.
"I understand!" Wang Quan took the order and left.
At Li Jing's house.
Li Jing's condition was getting worse and worse. The imperial doctors dared not close their eyes. If they were really too sleepy, they would take a nap on the table. There
was someone watching over Li Jing 24 hours a day to prevent a big disaster from happening due to negligence. They could not afford the blame from above.
The imperial doctors also had to write down each diagnosis in a written report and send it to the East Palace for the prince to review.
"General, are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" The imperial doctor who was standing by asked hurriedly when he saw Li Jing wake up.
"Help me up," said Li Jing.
Li Jing's son hurried forward to support Li Jing, and propped up his back with a pillow so that Li Jing could sit with his back against the pillow.
"Aye! Are you hungry! Or thirsty? I'll have someone bring you some ginseng soup." Li Jing's eldest son Li Dejian said.
Li Dejian has always had a close relationship with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and was promoted to the rank of Junior Supervisor of the Fourth Rank.
"Yes! Aye! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also given us a lot of gifts. With these imperial doctors treating Aye, Aye will definitely recover." Li Jing's second son Li Dejiang.
Li Dejiang loved to travel around and do good deeds. He did not follow the path of an official career like his father and brother, but became a wandering knight.
"No need! I know my own situation. My time is coming soon, in just two days. Dejian, after I die, you will inherit my family business."
"Dejian loved to travel around and do good deeds..." Li Jing held his two sons' hands and told them about his funeral.
The imperial doctors saw this scene and all stood up and left. They knew that Li Jing was now exhausted and was telling his two sons about his funeral.
Not long after the imperial doctors left, there was a cry from inside. Before they could react, the crying inside died.
"This..." said an imperial doctor.
Although he said nothing, everyone knew that Li Jing had already passed away.
"Duke Wei has passed away!" said an unknown doctor.
"What should we do now?" asked another unknown doctor.
Everyone looked at him with a look of concern for the mentally retarded.
They were the doctors, ordered to treat Li Jing. Now that Li Jing had passed away, there was nothing left for them to do here. Naturally, they would go back to the hospital!
"Our mission has been completed, so naturally we should go back to the hospital," said an old doctor.
"Then, do we need to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Li Jing has died?" a young doctor asked.
"Of course, I will write a letter to His Royal Highness myself!" said the old doctor.
Everyone nodded, and after saying goodbye to Li Jing's family, they left the Li Mansion.
After the old doctor returned, he immediately reported Li Jing's situation to Li Chengqian. As
soon as the doctors left, Li Dejian and others took out all the funeral supplies they had prepared, placed them on display, and sent people to the palace to report the death.
