    After Zhaoling came back from the funeral, Li Su fell ill.  .?Perhaps it was because he caught cold and rained during the funeral. When he came back, Li Su felt cold all over. At night, he became hot again, and his forehead was very hot.  Xu Mingzhu was so anxious that she used a cold towel to cool him down all night, and finally managed to stay up until dawn. She hurriedly ordered Bu Qu Pegasus to rush to Chang'an City and ask Liu Shenwei, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Department.  Having a fever all night, Li Su talked in his sleep.  He dreamed of many scattered dreams, dreaming about the difficult family situation when he first came to this era ten years ago, dreaming about his first acquaintance with Dongyang by the river beach, dreaming about Xu Mingzhu wearing Jifu and looking shy,  In the blink of an eye, I dreamed of the wars in the south and the north, the flag of the Tang Dynasty fluttering, I dreamed of Li Shimin holding a cup and drinking, and there were all heroes and heroes. I also dreamed of the past life a thousand years later, when the man who was carrying goods and selling them around with a smile was wronged.  The salesman This dream lasts for thousands of years.  Time is very short, life passes by in a blink of an eye, and I regret that my ambition has not been fulfilled.  Time is very long, and one pair of eyes seems to have seen the changes of dynasties for thousands of years, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. ?????????? I opened my eyes in a daze, it was already bright, I don¡¯t know what time it was, and I don¡¯t know how long I have been asleep.  Xu Mingzhu sat on the bedside, holding Li Su's hand tightly, with tears on her face.  There were many people surrounding the bed, including Liu Shenwei, Li Daozheng, Zheng Xiaolou, Fang Laowu, and even Dongyang.  Seeing Li Su open his eyes, Liu Shenwei breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a relieved smile: "Okay, my father-in-law is awake, this disaster is over" Xu Mingzhu fell on Li Su's chest and cried loudly: "  Husband, you scared me to death!" Dongyang looked much haggard. When Li Su woke up, she didn't say anything and just covered her face and cried.  Li Su forced out a smile, but his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.  "I how long have I slept?" Xu Mingzhu sobbed: "For three days, my husband didn't wake up for three whole days. The whole city of Chang'an was in a panic. His Majesty suspended the court meeting yesterday and came to visit my husband in person. The doctors from the Imperial Medical Department took turns coming here.  Your Majesty also hired Taoist priests to perform exorcisms on your husband" Li Su laughed and said, "Is it that serious? It's just a cold. Just sleep more and drink more boiled water" Liu Shenwei said seriously: "Mr.  This disease is very dangerous and must not be underestimated. This disease is caused by depression and difficulty in calming down. You have accumulated too many things in your heart, which leads to poor Qi and blood. Being exposed to cold and rain is just a trigger to bring out the long-suppressed pathogens.  "It took a lot of effort from our Imperial Medical Office." Li Su leaned weakly on the bedside and blinked at Liu Shenwei: "I can't move now, whatever you say makes sense" She has had a lot of contact with Liu Shenwei in the past few years.  We were all very familiar with each other, and Liu Shenwei didn't mind, stroking his beard and smiling.  Li Su smiled again and said: "I dare not say thank you for saving my life. When your master returns to Chang'an after his travels, I will say less bad words about you in front of your master. Are you happy?" "Happy." Li Su said again  He smiled at Li Daozheng and said, "It's unfilial to make dad worry about the child. Fortunately, he is blessed with good fortune and no danger." With tears in his eyes, Li Daozheng pretended to be dignified and hummed: "You are the backbone of the family and the great Tang Dynasty.  It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the mainstay of his family, but he does not know how to cherish his body, but makes his family and relatives worried. It is indeed unfilial." Li Daozheng sniffed, turned around and shouted: "Okay, my son is already here.  Wake up, everyone, stop crowding around him and disperse!" Zheng Xiaolou and others dispersed one after another. Li Su winked at Xu Mingzhu and Dongyang, and the two women understood and stayed.  After there were only three people left in the room, Li Su took Xu Mingzhu's hand, and after a moment, took Dongyang's hand. The two women were stunned, obviously not used to such close contact, they suddenly blushed and looked at each other in panic  elsewhere.  Li Su ignored this, held their hands, looked at Xu Mingzhu and said: "I have something to discuss with my wife" Xu Mingzhu was startled: "You can just do whatever you want, I am a woman.  , I will listen to my husband." Li Su shook his head: "This is a family matter, the wife is in charge, and the wife's consent must be obtained." A flash of understanding flashed across Xu Mingzhu's face, and she quickly glanced at Dongyang and said, "What do you want to discuss, husband?"  Li Su said slowly: "I have no regrets in my life, but there is only one thing I hate that I can't let go of. You are all here today, so I might as well tell the truth, Dongyang she is also my woman, no matter her status, she is her after all.  My woman, what I regret most in this life is that I cannot give her a proper title and let her become a monk alone in that cold Taoist temple. While others are enjoying the happiness of the whole family, she can only recite in front of the statue of Laojun alone.  "" "Madam should be aware of what happened between me and Dongyang back then, so I won't say more about it. In short, my woman cannot live alone all her life. It is my responsibility that Dongyang fell into such a situation. I was too young back then, and there were many things I didn't do."  Think carefully and don't harm herYou have to become a monk to avoid disaster.  Now, I want to give Dongyang an upright status. She, like Madam, is my wife. I want to marry her gracefully. From now on, she will be my wife of the Li family. Please forgive me for this matter, Madam.  .  "As Li Su spoke, Dongyang burst into tears beside him, and the hold on his hand became tighter and tighter. Xu Mingzhu looked dazed for a while, and sighed faintly: "I have already regarded Her Royal Highness as one of my own, now.  After several years of getting along with Her Royal Highness the Princess like sisters, it was only a matter of time before she married her. If my husband did the right thing, how could I not agree?  " Li Su looked at her deeply: "Madam, I have been wronged. Thank you very much, madam, for helping me.  " Xu Mingzhu shook her head and smiled and said: "The ones who are really aggrieved are Her Royal Highness the Princess and her husband. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been alone for ten years, and I often go to Taoist temples. I feel sad for her every time. But my husband was granted the title of Marquis when he was young, and he was promoted to the title of County Duke. Not only did his family not have any  A beautiful maidservant and a concubine, she has not even raised the singing and dancing musicians that are common to powerful families. She has been married for ten years and has only one wife in the backyard. She is already a rare anomaly among the powerful people in Chang'an City. Her husband is not a lustful person.  , The reason for marrying Her Royal Highness the Princess is because you have been in love with her for many years, and you must give her a result. Your husband is really a good person.  " Li Su smiled and said: "Madam is also a good person. I am very lucky to meet you and Dongyang in this life. It was my blessing in my previous life for the three of us to spend this life together.  " Li Su looked at Dongyang, who was crying with tears in his eyes, and said softly: "After talking for a long time, I haven't asked for your opinion yet. Dongyang, are you willing to marry into my Li family openly?  Dongyang cried and nodded, speechless. Li Su said solemnly: "You must understand that you will lose the title of princess. Your Majesty and the courtiers cannot allow a wealthy princess to serve the same husband with other women.  Therefore, even if Your Majesty wants to marry you and me, you must first remove your title of princess. From now on, you will be just an ordinary woman without any noble status.  " Dongyang choked with sobs and said: "I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart until we grow old together.  How can the title of princess be compared to my lifelong happiness?  I've long wanted to give up.  " Looking at Xu Mingzhu, Dongyang stepped forward and bowed to her, crying: "Thank you sister for being so tolerant, I am very grateful.  In the future, when I join the Li family, I will consider myself my sister, and my sister will still take care of everything in the house" Xu Mingzhu hurriedly helped her up and said, "Even though you are not named princess, you are still a princess. How dare I be my sister?  " The two girls kept pushing back. Li Su smiled and said: "Okay, it's just a title. Let's divide the sisters according to their age. This is the fairest way.  " The two girls exchanged birthdays with each other, but Dongyang is one year older than Xu Mingzhu. Xu Mingzhu calls her sister, but Dongyang refuses. She also calls her Xu Mingzhu sister. The two girls come and go as sister, and they shirk each other for a long time. " Li Su  He smiled and said: "Okay, you can call me whatever you want from now on, and then I will find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty about it.  Xu Mingzhu hesitated and asked: "Will your Majesty agree?" Dongyang said: "Sister, don't worry, your Majesty had the intention to fulfill his wishes when he was still the King of Jin. County Duke Li my husband and Your Majesty are brothers and sisters. If he goes and talks, Your Majesty will definitely agree.  " After the family affairs were arranged, Dongyang stared at Li Su's face and suddenly said: "My husband was seriously ill, and when he woke up he said he wanted to give me a status. What happened? " Li Su sighed: "Why did something have to happen?  How can I think of giving you a status? Over the years, I have been thinking about this in my heart, but the time has not come yet, and now it has finally come" Dongyang lowered his head sadly.  She knew what Li Su meant by "timing".  If Li Shimin were alive, he would never agree to Dongyang marry into the Li family under any circumstances. Now that Li Shimin has passed away and the new king has ascended the throne, the biggest obstacle between Li Su and Dongyang in recent years has disappeared. Naturally, it is "opportunity"  arrive".  Li Su looked at Dongyang's dejected look and sighed: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Don't be too sad. People have to look forward in life. You should observe mourning for your father for three years. After the three years of mourning are over,  I am marrying you openly. Let Mingzhu accompany you around for a few days to relax. If you are depressed or sad, don¡¯t keep it to yourself. If you get sick from boredom, I am a good example.  I almost died from a serious illness" Dongyang's eyes were red and he nodded silently.  Xu Mingzhu stared deeply at Li Su and said: "My husband woke up after a serious illness, and it seems that there is something different." Li Su smiled and said: "What's different?" "I can't tell you, I can only feel it vaguely,  The laziness in my husband seems to have faded a bit, and he is more active in speaking and doing things." Li Su was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I experienced the death of the late emperor, followed by a serious illness. When I woke up.  It seems that I have thought through a lot of things and my thoughts are open-minded."" The two women looked at him curiously. Li Su sighed: "The dead are gone, but the living are like this."  This life is too short. Even a wise and heroic man like Your Majesty will always have some regrets that he cannot let go of before his death. I am still so young and sitting in such a high position. I have more and more power. I enjoy the glory and wealth.  At the same time, I was wondering if there was anything else I could do?  Whether it is for the Tang Dynasty or for the common people, the people of the world have supported us dignitaries with their blood and sweat. Can we really enjoy these blood and sweat with confidence?  With such great power, you must do something" "If you are poor, you can be alone, if you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are lazy and enjoy peace and wealth, you can feel at ease before, but as your position gets higher and higher, your power becomes more and more  The older I get, the more difficult I become to sleep and eat.  God brought me here, did he really just want me to enjoy life?  When I am old, lying on my death bed and counting my deeds in this life, how many deeds can I be proud of?  What have I done for the suffering people in the world?  Wait until then to be ashamed, it will be too late" Li Su said with a smile and said: "Since His Majesty needs my assistance, then I will seriously assist him and help him create a glorious and prosperous age that will shine through the ages.  !  ¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­ After a serious illness, Li Su spent more than half a month recuperating at home. Eating lightly, relaxing physically and mentally, and recuperating her body seemed to be no different from how Li Su usually did at home. But there was still a little difference.  Li Su suddenly asked Li Zhi to read the memorials. After Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji reviewed the memorials from various places sent by Zhongshu Province, they sent them to Taiping Village. Li Su read them roughly and then sent them back to Shangshu Province.  . Li Zhi was surprised and even a little panicked by Li Su's changes. He once thought that Li Su had burned out his brain after a serious illness. He came to visit him several times with anxiety and found that Li Su still spoke and acted as usual and did not have convulsions or epilepsy.  After seeing the signs, he felt relieved and went back happily. Under the lonely lamp in the middle of the night, Li Su frowned and stared at the memorial in front of him. He didn't read what was written in the memorial, but he was thinking about something else at the moment.  One thing. After pondering for a long time, Li Su got up, walked out of the backyard, and ordered his servants to call Fang Laowu. After a while, Fang Laowu came over sleepily, yawning with a tired look on his face.  : "I'm really sorry, Fifth Uncle, for calling you here so late and disturbing your dreams.  Fang Laowu said with a smile: "What did you say? The villain is the central song of the government. Whenever the master gives orders, I can just call the villain."  " Li Su nodded and said: "Then let's stop talking nonsense. Last time I asked you to send people to keep an eye on the Japanese monk Dao Zhao. Has he done anything recently?  Fang Laowu shook his head and said: "In the recent national mourning, this group of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty were also arranged by the Ministry of Rites to attend His Majesty's funeral. It has been nearly a month. Dao Zhao has not done anything. He honestly participated in the national funeral ceremony as arranged by the Ministry of Rites. Returning.  When I went to the temple, I recited the scriptures honestly, and there was nothing unusual about it.  " Li Su pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the great ceremony has passed, Dao Zhao can't hold his breath any longer. He sent someone to keep an eye on him. I guess he will make some move soon.  " "What do you mean, sir, is he really going to find Miss Wu?"  Will he be so obedient?  " Li Su smiled and said: "Of course he won't be so obedient, especially since I am so hostile to the Japanese people, and he will not believe my words. People like Dao Zhao must judge everything with their own eyes.  , I heard it with my own ears, so he did not take any action during the national mourning period. He was probably secretly inquiring about Wu's identity and whether she had such an important role in His Majesty's side.  " Fang Laowu suddenly realized: "So, he should have found out clearly now?  " "What I said to Dao Zhao is actually the truth. After a little inquiry, I will know Wu's status in His Majesty's heart now. It can be said that she is the most important staff around His Majesty. Perhaps one day in the future, she will be more than just a staff member.  .  Dao Zhao wants our Tang Dynasty's improved rice seeds, and the Wu family can definitely do it, because His Majesty has no defense against the Japanese country. His Majesty will not refuse this kind of thing that reflects the magnanimity of the Yangyang clan.  " Li Su raised the corner of his mouth: "Then, we will slowly wait for Dao Zhao's actions, as soon as one or two days, or as slowly as three to five days" Fang Laowu nodded: "Yes, the villain will be here in the next few days.  Send a few more smart brothers to keep an eye on him day and night.  "  Li Su's guesses rarely fail. Smart people always do things with ease. If you think about the other person's psychology and personality several times in your mind, you will have a good idea of ??what this person will do. The stateIf you play it well, you can even guess the specific time.  On the third day, news came from the family that Dao Zhao had indeed taken action. In a wine shop in Chang'an City, Dao Zhao met a mysterious woman wearing a veil and a headscarf.  No one knows what the two said specifically. About half an hour later, the two left in a hurry.  By describing the woman's figure and habitual movements in the poem, Li Su immediately knew that this woman was the Wu family.  The breeze in the yard stirred up a few green fallen leaves, and also turned the pages on the table.  Li Su was lying in the yard, the smile on his lips getting deeper and deeper.  "Power is indeed tempting. Even if you are naturally smart and clever, you gradually became addicted after your first taste of power, right?" "But do you know that power is also a knife that can kill people and kill themselves." Fang Laowu stood there  Behind Li Su, listening to Li Su's mumbling, his expression was extremely surprised.  What surprised him was not Li Su's half-understood words, but Li Su's grasp of the actions of Dao Zhao and Wu.  It was as if the private meeting between the two men had been arranged by Li Su, and every move they made was calculated by Li Su in his own chess game, exactly.  "My lord, you are so awesome, I have to accept it" Fang Laowu saluted Li Su with a look of admiration on his face.  Li Su smiled calmly: "Calculating people's hearts is nothing more than judging others by oneself. Everyone in the world knows that power is a good thing. A woman who has been dependent on others for many years and endured everything. After she first tastes power after rising to a high position, she will naturally make full use of it.  It doesn't matter who or what she is looking for. What's important is that she uses the power. Do you understand? What's more, if you think about it from another angle, it seems that Dao Zhao can bring something to her.  Political achievements and merits, if she wants to stand firm in front of His Majesty, she must have a solid political achievement at this moment. How can she refuse when Dao Zhao comes to her door? " Li Su rubbed his face tiredly.  Said: "Fifth Uncle, send people to continue to keep an eye on Dao Zhao. He and Wu will definitely meet for the second time in the past few days. After their second meeting, they will send people to tell Xu Jingzong and ask him to come to the Agricultural School immediately.  Spread the news about missing rice seeds. One day after the news spread, Xu Jingzong will immediately suppress the news severely in the Agricultural University, and then announce to the outside world that there is no such thing, giving the Agricultural University and outsiders an illusion of 'covering up'" Li Su said  As he looked, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "After these things are done, it is no longer necessary for Dao Zhao to exist. Let Zheng Xiaolou kill him and create the illusion of an accidental death. From now on, this thunder  It¡¯s buried in Wu¡¯s body. It¡¯s up to me to decide whether to explode or not, and when to explode.¡± Fang Laowu remembered them one by one, and finally couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°Masterdo you really hate that Miss Wu so much?¡±  " Li Su glanced at him and seemed surprised by his question.  "When did I hate her? If I really hated her, how could I allow her to live so proudly?" Fang Laowu said with confusion: "But you are clearly planning to deal with her now." Li  Su looked dazed for a moment, and finally sighed: "I'm just guarding against her. While guarding against her, I also want to use her. Her ability is no worse than mine. If used in the right way, it will be a good thing for Datang. Uncle Wu,  The court is very messy and people's hearts are very dirty. If you want to survive in this turbulent court and live a better life, sometimes you have to become as dirty as everyone else."
