Chapter 197 Adding insult to injury
Sun Simiao is here.

Wearing a straw hat on his head and a straw raincoat on his body, he gave Su Chen and the others an excited feeling.

He walked past the screen wall and ran over hurriedly, at a speed that was inconsistent with his age, and came in front of Su Chen and the others.

“Where is the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases? Take it out and show it to me!”

Sun Simiao, who had not yet taken off his equipment, grabbed Li Chengqian’s arm and asked, “Is this the real Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, or is it a fake one?”

“Mr. Sun, calm down.”

Su Chen raised the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders placed aside. Sun Simiao quickly stepped forward, snatched it from Su Chen’s hand, opened it and began to examine it carefully.

See this.

Su Chen and the others smiled and didn’t say much.

As a doctor who traveled among the people all year round, Sun Simiao had seen various pharmacopoeias, but the Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders had disappeared since the Western Jin Dynasty.

Even though Sun Simiao was extremely curious about it, he had no way to find out.

now.

When Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Disorders appeared, how could Sun Simiao not be excited?
“Good good.”

As Sun Simiao flipped through the book, he couldn’t help but applaud.

Li Chengqian: “So it seems that this Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases is authentic.”

“Yes, absolutely!”

Sun Simiao took a deep breath and said, “Based on my many years of experience, this is from Zhang Zhongjing’s Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases!”

“Many of the medicines used to treat these diseases are truly eye-opening, and all of them are so useful.”

Li Chengqian didn’t care about how the medicines were used in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases or how good the prescriptions were. What he really cared about was whether this treatise could cure Princess Changle.

“Dr. Sun, the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases has been delivered. Are you sure you can cure Changle?”

“At least 70% sure!”

Sun Simiao said in a deep voice, “Let me study it carefully, maybe I can help Princess Changle recover!”

“If that’s the case, that would be the best!”

Li Chengqian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.

If this medical book had been found earlier, could my mother’s illness have been cured?

Li Chengqian picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

“What’s happened in the past is in the past. No matter how much you regret it, it will be useless.”

Su Chen smiled and picked up the wine glass, and drank a glass of wine, “Now the important thing is to let Elder Sun study the prescription carefully so that he can cure Princess Changle.”

Li Chengqian nodded and filled a glass of wine. “The past cannot be retrieved. I hope Dr. Sun will take the trouble to cure Changle!”

“Your Highness, you are too serious.”

Sun Simiao took the wine glass with a smile, “If nothing else, I think it would be a good thing to let Zhang Zhongjing’s medical book see the light of day again!”

“Haha, that’s right, that’s right.”

“In order to let this medical book see the light of day again, and to cure Changle, let us all drink this cup of wine together!”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

After putting down the wine glass, Sun Simiao said, “Your Highness, I will go back to study the prescription first. Goodbye.”

“Go, Doctor Sun.”

Li Chengqian nodded and watched Sun Simiao leave.

“Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Disorders” was very tempting to Sun Simiao. This was not only because of the treatment methods for qi diseases in the medical book, but more because of the many precious prescriptions in the book.

Although they wanted to help, except for Su Chen who had some knowledge of medicine, the rest of the people present were all confused as to how they could help.
It would be better to sit here, drink wine, eat meat, and wait for good news.

“What do you think about the events in Tubo and King Jiangxia these days?”

“This is just a disgusting method used by Tibet.”

Su Chen smiled indifferently.

When Tubo came to propose marriage, Li Chengqian directly refused. This matter caused a lot of uproar, and it was naturally impossible for the Tubo envoy team to leave in such a disgrace.

So, they set their sights on King Jiangxia.

Perhaps there was some personal grudge involved, but it must be said that Lu Dongzan’s plan was very sinister.

Princess Li Chengqian would not allow it and had already convinced all the civil and military officials in the court, but now they had set their sights on the princess, which made many of the persuaded ministers start to have small ideas again.

Firstly, the relationship between the princess and Li Chengqian was very ordinary, and there was no need for Li Chengqian to refuse because of an outsider.

Secondly, the movements of Tubo at the border put pressure on people, forcing Li Chengqian to agree.

“It’s really disgusting.”

Li Chengqian sighed, “If I agree, how will the people of the world view me?”

I just said it a few days ago that the Tang Dynasty’s territory and the safety of the people cannot fall on the shoulders of a woman.

Now he has changed his mind and wants to marry the princess off as a marriage partner. Isn’t this a slap in the face of Li Chengqian?
If you don’t agree, Tubo will not leave so easily.

“There’s news coming from Hexi Road and Longyou Road that Tubo’s troops are gathering. They’re trying to show me their power.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “Why do I feel that Tubo’s visit to Chang’an this time is not just for marriage?”

Li Chengqian frowned and looked over, then said thoughtfully, “I feel the same way.”

The Tibetan envoy team moved very slowly and sent people to Jiangnan and Henan to check the disaster situation.

It feels more like a marriage under the guise of a peace agreement to verify whether the Tang Dynasty can still fight after these two disasters!

If they cannot fight, then Tubo will definitely fight for the Helong area with all its might.

“The Helong area is an important part of the Silk Road. Once Tubo controls the Helong area, it can cut off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and it can also become a springboard for attacking the Tang Dynasty’s hinterland.”

“Once they succeed, I believe they will eat away at the Tang Dynasty’s military strongholds on the border little by little, destroy Longyou, cut off Hexi, isolate the Western Regions, and then point their swords directly at Chang’an City.”

Su Chen picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Chengqian stared at Su Chen with burning eyes, “Hurry up and tell me, stop just eating!”

Su Chen swallowed the mutton, smiled and took a sip of tea, and continued: “It is normal for them to have such thoughts.”

“After all, the previous defeat has dealt a heavy blow to them, both in the military and at home.”

“Now, they have taken the initiative to lower their stance and want to come to Chang’an City for marriage, but you directly rejected them. If this news were to spread to Tubo, everyone in Tubo would be greatly shocked.”

After all, my Tubo is also a big country. Although I have been defeated several times before, I have lowered my posture and actively sent envoys to propose marriage. How dare you look down on me? ?
All right, all right. Let’s settle all the old and new grudges together!

“With the disasters in Suzhou and Henan, it’s normal for them to take some action.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “Taking advantage of someone’s misfortune and taking revenge at the same time, this is something any normal person would do.”

“If there had been no disasters in Suzhou and Henan, would they dare to jump like this?”

“Even though you rejected them openly when Lu Dongzan proposed the marriage, they didn’t dare to say a word.”

It was precisely because of the disasters in the two places that the Tubo envoys were given a certain amount of confidence.

There have been two disasters in your country. Do you still have the energy to go to war with us Tubo?

Aren’t you afraid that the public opinion in the country will be affected and rebellion will break out?
Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, “I think, especially at times like this, we should not be weak!”

Su Chen reminded: “Then you have to pay attention to the movements at the Honglu Temple.”

Li Chengqian pondered and laughed: “I understand.”

“By the way, prepare 10,000 taels of silver for me.”

“What are you doing?”

“Reward according to merit.”

……

Jiangxia Prince’s Mansion.

Li Daozon looked at Mu Chi who brought the gift with an expressionless face.

“Now, take the gift away immediately. I do not welcome you Tibetans.”

“Why does Your Majesty want to keep people at a distance?”

Mu Chi smiled slightly, “Our Zanpu has admired the princess for a long time…”

Li Dao Zong had a blank expression on his face: “You guys are really persistent. You’ve come to visit me for several days in a row! I’ve already given you enough face by meeting you. Don’t be ungrateful!”

“Ugh……”

Mu Chi sighed, bowed helplessly, and left with the gift.

Until Mu Chi disappeared, Li Daozon slapped the table hard.

Terrible!

What kind of bullshit is this long-standing admiration?

It’s obvious that you are trying to make me unhappy!

You know that the Crown Prince doesn’t want to marry you, but now you are setting your sights on me?

What a bastard!
“Father.”

Li Jingheng walked in quickly, “The Tibetans have left?”

Li Dao Zong nodded, “It’s really disgusting.”

Li Jingheng said softly, “But father, the news that the Tibetan king admires my younger sister has spread throughout Chang’an City in the past few days.”

Li Dao Zong sneered repeatedly, “This is just a method used by Tubo.”

“He wanted to use public opinion and the pressure from the border to urge me and the prince to agree to this matter.”

“But they don’t think about it. If the prince goes back on his word, how will he save face?”

Li Jingheng hesitated and said, “But father, have you ever thought about whether His Majesty would agree if he knew about this?”

Li Daozon frowned and glanced at Li Jingheng, holding the teacup in silence.

After all, the princess is your Majesty’s daughter, and she has the strong support of her brother, the crown prince. Your Majesty has to be a little considerate of the crown prince’s face.

But now it’s my own daughter…

It’s hard to say.

“Go tell Xueyan not to leave the house for the next few days.”

“Yes.”

Li Jingheng saw Li Daozon’s worry, turned around and walked quickly to Li Xueyan’s yard.

“Eldest son.”

“Where’s Xueyan?”

“Just now the princess ran out with red eyes.”

Ok?
Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, “But my sister just went to my father’s place?”

The maid nodded.

Li Jingheng: “…”

Oops.

“Did she say where she was going before she left?”

“Never.”

Li Jingheng knocked his head, left quickly and reported the matter to Li Daozon.

Li Dao Zong sighed, “Since you heard it, then let’s just send someone out to look for it.”

“it is good.”

Li Jingheng: “I’ll go find it myself.”

Prince’s residence.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Chengqian left with the silver.

Su Chen drank some refreshing tea, lying leisurely on a bamboo chair, holding a miscellaneous book in his hand.

dong dong.

The knocks on the door attracted Su Chen’s attention.

It’s getting late and it’s raining so hard, who would come to Taiziju?

“Sir, the princess is here.”
