Datang: Encouraging Li Er to rebel, being overheard

Chapter 96

When Li Chengqian saw those aristocratic families gloating about their misfortune, he immediately became angry.

In the officialdom, there are also many eyeliners from aristocratic families.

Although he has tried his best to clean up, it is inevitable that some fish have slipped through the net, and Huanshi is still swimming in the officialdom.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian patted his chest, looked up at Li Shimin, and gritted his teeth every word.

"Father, I can assure you that smallpox can definitely be brought under control, and will be completely controlled within a month, but during this time, everyone needs to cooperate with me."

As for how this cooperation should be, that is up to Li Chengqian himself.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Chengqian in silence for a long time, then nodded slightly, and waved to him.

"Go ahead and do whatever you want. There's nothing anyone can do about smallpox now. Since you have this method, you can try it. Regardless of success or failure, I will not hold you accountable."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, the faces of all the ministers present suddenly changed drastically, especially those family members who spoke quickly.

"No, Your Majesty! This smallpox is a serious disease that can affect people's livelihood. How can His Royal Highness be allowed to play here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Once the smallpox is not under control, then..."

"..."

All kinds of words are being spoken crazily at this moment.

Li Chengqian's face darkened slightly when he heard these words, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at these ministers.

However, although the courtiers in the family are denying it, some people still choose to support him.

Such as Cheng Yaojin.

How can I say that Cheng Yaojin also has business and human contacts with Li Chengqian, seeing that Li Chengqian is at a disadvantage at this time, he naturally wants to stand up and help.

"Your Majesty, I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince can give it a try. After all, there is nothing we can do about it. Only His Highness the Crown Prince has this confidence. Why don't we let him try? Even if he fails, what will the difference be?"

Not only Cheng Yaojin, but Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji also stood up to speak for Li Chengqian.

Plus Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

Immediately, the courtiers were divided into two factions.

One faction supports Li Chengqian, and the other faction denies Li Chengqian. They don't think Li Chengqian has that ability.

Faced with the verbal dispute between the two factions, Li Chengqian sneered.

"Father, I know what I'm talking about, so I issued a military order. If smallpox can't be controlled within a month and an antibody that can make everyone immune to smallpox can be developed, then I am willing to give up the crown prince. "

Li Chengqian's eyes were firm.

This is not only a question of whether to believe him, but also a matter of so many people in Chang'an City.

He came from a later life, and although he was not absolutely sure that he could control smallpox, as long as he tried more, he would surely succeed, which was why he asked for a one-month deadline.

[What kind of people are they? The people outside have become like that, and you are still discussing whether I can take the position? 】

[Shouldn't I go out and let you go and treat it?You don't even have the courage to touch them, do you? 】

[Things like waste, these aristocratic families are malignant tumors, it’s okay to see me make a fool of myself, are they even ignoring the lives of the people now? 】

Cursing secretly in his heart, Li Chengqian slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I also ask the father to agree to the son."

Li Chengqian was extremely serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

Everyone looked at him like this, and they all had a feeling of suddenness. Today's Li Chengqian has just a little bit of the prestige of a prince.

Similarly, facing Li Chengqian today, Li Shimin's eyes were a little dazed.

Now Li Chengqian is very much like him back then, his old father.

The local Li Shimin's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he directly agreed.

"Go ahead and do it boldly, I will be behind you."

"Thank you, Father, for your permission!"

The faces of the ministers of the aristocratic families suddenly changed, and they were just about to speak.

Seeing what they were going to say again, Li Shimin immediately looked a little unhappy, waved his hands and said in a cold voice.

"And you, I have already made my decision. Are you questioning my decision, or are you doubting the prince's ability?"

The hat was buttoned a bit too big, everyone quickly shut their mouths, and swallowed what they wanted to say.

I can only think of a way in my heart, how to make some trouble in this matter.

[It seems that Li Shimin is quite courageous, dare to entrust such an important matter to me, but I will not let you down, I will definitely do things well. 】

【Hey, why did something like smallpox suddenly appear?It's so sad that I'm here out of the blue, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. 】

In response to the muttering in Li Chengqian's heart, Li Shimin remained calm, talked about some other state affairs, and went down to court.

After the next court, Li Shimin specially sent someone to keep an eye on Li Chengqian and asked him to talk to Li Shimin alone.

For Wang De who came to look for him, Li Chengqian was not surprised at all, he greeted Cheng Yaojin and others who were next to him, and then left with Wang De.

At this time, only Li Shimin and his son were in the hall.

"Are you really sure that you can cure smallpox?"

"Father, tell the truth, I don't know how to treat smallpox."

Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly turned pale with shock, and grabbed Li Chengqian's shoulder with one hand.

Just now Li Chengqian said in front of all the ministers that if the smallpox is not cured well, he will lose the crown prince.

What does it mean?
Could it be that Li Chengqian wanted to use this opportunity to give up his position as prince?
"You son of a bitch didn't know how to heal you, you are so obedient, so why did you say that in the hall? What's the matter? Did the crown prince wrong you?"

"Father, although I am not sure about the treatment of smallpox, my son can prevent people who have not been infected with smallpox from being infected again, and they will never be infected again in this life."

Li Chengqian answered truthfully.

[I didn’t want to be the crown prince in the first place, but it’s quite bluffing to put this on. Let’s not talk about whether it’s the crown prince’s position or not. Even for the sake of the people of Chang’an, I can’t just fool people. 】

Li Shimin, who was dubious about Li Chengqian's words, immediately settled down after hearing his voice, exhaled slowly, looked at him meaningfully, and nodded slightly.

"Since this is the case, I will issue an order to let all the officials in Chang'an City be assigned by you. You can transfer the money in the court, and you can tell me if you need anything else."

"Follow your orders, Father."

Leaving from Li Shimin's side, Li Chengqian immediately ordered the household department to buy cattle.

Buy sick cows.

The more you buy, the better. At the same time, an open space was opened outside Chang'an, and a temporary simple fence was built there to put the cattle in.

Li Chengqian's behavior made many officials who were waiting to see the joke despise for a while.

"What's the matter? I thought the prince really had something to do, but unexpectedly it was buying cows. What's the use of buying these sick cows?"

The story of Li Chengqian's purchase of sick cows was quickly spread, and many people were waiting to see his jokes.

Especially the Wang family who had been punished by Li Chengqian before, when they mentioned Li Chengqian at the moment, their eyes were full of ridicule. At least in their opinion, this was simply a mental illness.
