Chapter 94 The prince is in trouble!
In fact, Li Chengqian initially thought that Li Shiji called him for some important matter.

On the way back from court, it shouldn't be something shameful. After thinking about it, he figured it should be related to Li Xiang.

After all, Haodaer has been very popular in the court recently, and everyone is vying to get to know him.

Li Chengqian was not jealous of this, but was happy to see it happen.

My son...

He is different from Li Shimin. He has a father who is a negative example, but he really learned a lesson.

Moreover, the throne is not decided yet, so if he wants to suspect something, he has to wait until he ascends the throne. After all, he is the crown prince of a country, not an idiot who fantasizes about royal life on the street.

Then, while he was waiting for the other party to praise him, he heard these words.

"Prince, I have a friend..."

Looking at the slightly shy Li Shiji in front of him, a question mark popped up in Li Chengqian's head.

So your old man called me just to show off to me. Do you have a friend?
But judging by his expression, not only was there something wrong, there was definitely something wrong.

"Go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Li Chengqian said.

The crown prince is also a monarch, so there is nothing wrong with Li Shiji calling himself a subject in front of him.

"That's right, my friend, the old minister, is not doing well in the room."

Li Shiji looked a little embarrassed, but he continued, "So this friend of mine... well, it's really my friend. He heard that the prince recently found a prescription, so he wanted me to find out whether this prescription is useful..."

Grass (a plant).

Li Chengqian finally understood. It turned out that you heard that I have a prescription for strengthening male potency, so you came to ask about it?

Who the hell is ruining my reputation! Li Chengqian blushed instantly and thought viciously.

Oh, it was me. That’s okay.

Forget it, forget it, it’s all for the greater good. A little impatience will ruin the greater good. I... will endure it!
But Duke of England, you think you...are you so concerned about a friend like this?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian felt something was wrong.

No, that's very wrong.

How could someone be so concerned about a friend that he would even lower himself to ask the prince's question?
Aren’t you afraid of offending people?

The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he felt that a logical loop had formed in his mind.

Damn it, this Li Shiji must have something wrong, but he is too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he pretends to be a friend!
After seeing through Li Shiji's disguise, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel revengeful.

I've let you spread weird rumors every day, and today I have to...

Hey, Xiang'er once said don't be anxious...

Yep!
No hurry! Play with him!
"How old is our friend the Duke of England?" Li Chengqian asked, clearing his throat.

Li Shiji hesitated for a moment, pretending to think, and then replied, "He is about the same age as me."

"In fact, Master Sun also said that the dosage of medicine should be increased or decreased according to each person's age and physical condition." Li Chengqian pondered for a while and asked, "I still recommend that you go to Master Sun and let him diagnose you and prescribe the right medicine for you."

Li Shiji immediately asked, "How does the prince feel after taking the medicine? Do you think my friend can also be cured?"

"It seems that the Duke of England cares very much about his friend." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shiji meaningfully.

Li Shiji suddenly felt a little sweaty. Oh no, he had studied military tactics for a lifetime, how could he be so confused over such a small matter?
Actually, it is understandable. This kind of thing concerns a man's dignity. If the news leaks out, then...

He could imagine how Cheng Yaojin would come to his house to tease him and steal the cow away after hearing about it...

"This friend of mine...well, we have been close since childhood, that's it." Li Shiji started to smooth things over, but everyone knew the guilt behind his actions.

"So that's how it is." Li Chengqian's words were meaningful.

Then he suddenly asked, "Is this friend that the Duke of England is talking about you yourself?"

Li Shiji: ...

How to answer?
"If Duke Yingguo refuses to tell the truth, how can I dare to entrust the prescription to him casually?" Li Chengqian said meaningfully.

Li Shiji took a deep breath, thought of the fierce woman at home, and nodded: "Yes, my friend is me."

"Look, wouldn't it have been enough if you had just said it earlier?" Li Chengqian was happy. He took out the prescription he had prepared long ago from his arms, handed it to Li Shiji and said, "This is the prescription that Master Sun gave me. Duke Ying, just use it - don't ever tell them that it was given to you!"

"Don't worry, Prince. I won't have to worry about it!" Li Shiji agreed immediately.

Seeing Li Shiji hurried away, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

People from aristocratic families would definitely not take the bait so easily. After all, the idea of ​​strengthening one's sexual function... is too metaphysical.

This prescription is indeed effective. It is a recipe treasured by Sun Simiao. It takes effect immediately after drinking one bowl, and its effect is so fast that you can't stop the car even after stepping on the accelerator.

It must be verified by all the ministers so that everyone else knows that this prescription is not a fraud but is real and effective, which will make it easier to lure people into the trap.

Wang family.

"News has come from the Crown Prince that it seems that Duke Yingguo Li Shiji is also using his prescription." Lu Xuanhui said in a low voice.

"Not sure, let's wait and see." Cui Mingan did not intend to confirm the situation now. In his opinion, he had to prove that the prince really took the risk to snatch the prescription from Zhou of Yixing just because he wanted to satisfy some unspeakable desire of his own.

"These are all medical books passed down from my family!" Wang Yi cursed bitterly, "If this book was still there, how could this prescription in the book be lost?"

"Don't worry, my brother. Once we succeed in impeaching the crown prince, we will naturally get the medical book." Cui Mingan comforted him, "It's just that it's hard to confirm the situation at the moment. We need to wait and see."

……

What Li Chengqian did not expect was that not long after Li Shiji left, rumors began to spread that "the prince is no longer capable" and the rumor became more and more intense.

Even Li Shimin was alarmed, and he hurriedly called Li Xiang to go to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian.

After all, the three words "no more" can easily be misunderstood.

Is it that something is wrong, or is it that the whole person is not okay?

As a result, Li Chengqian was seen jumping around, and was even preparing to hug Crown Princess Su Yi and do something in broad daylight.

Li Shimin's face darkened immediately. "You are dying of fear, aren't you?"

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?" Old Li saw that Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed and asked suspiciously.

In fact, he now believes it himself. Although this was a plan they had made long ago, the rumors outside were getting more and more intense and had become credible.

"Father, I really don't have it!" Li Chengqian said with a look of grief and indignation.

This is the biggest taboo for men. How can you let others tell you that you can't do it? !

Old Li didn't ask any more questions, just left it at that.

After all, Li Chengqian has two grown sons, and their roots are still there, so if things don't work out, that's it.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian couldn't read Li Shimin's mind, otherwise if he knew what Li Shimin was thinking, the father and son would have started arguing again.

Before leaving, Li Shimin looked back at Li Chengqian suspiciously. Li Chengqian sat there helplessly, realizing that he could no longer clear himself.

After thinking it over for a while, he decided that he couldn't handle it all by himself, so he brought Li Shiji along.

After all, if someone takes the medicine and sees results, that’s the best advertisement.

So on the next day, in addition to the "ineffective" crown prince, there was another person who went to ask the crown prince for medicine, the Duke of England, Li Shiji, who was also "ineffective".

"The Crown Prince has really done great harm to this old minister!" After leaving the court, Li Shiji found Li Chengqian with great grief.

Fortunately, the news was not spread very widely, and only a limited number of court officials knew about it for the time being.

Li Chengqian asked suspiciously, "What is the Duke of England talking about?"

"I asked you for medicine, and you turned around and sold me out!" Li Shiji said with a glare.

Li Chengqian sighed and stretched out his hand to make a circle.

"Look, this was the same scene yesterday when you asked for medicine..."

Li Shiji looked up and his scalp immediately went numb.

My goodness, not only were there eunuchs eavesdropping on what was happening, but there were also several colleagues standing nearby with mischievous expressions on their faces.

One of them is Cheng Yaojin, the big mouth.

"Hahaha... Maogong." Cheng Yaojin came up and asked with a wink, "How is it, is this medicine of the prince very effective?"

Li Shiji raised his head, looking like he was not talking to him.

"If you don't tell me, the whole Chang'an will know about it," Cheng Yaojin threatened.

When he thought of falling into the same situation as the crown prince, the whole Chang'an would know that it was not okay. Li Shiji immediately shuddered and said honestly: "Yizhen, don't make a fuss, this medicine is really effective!"

"I was wondering why you've been walking with your chest up and your head held high lately. You look more confident." Cheng Yaojin chuckled twice and walked away with his hands behind his back.

He was not very interested in this thing. After all, when the cow at home had some problems, all the cow's food went into his stomach.

This stuff is much more nutritious than what Li Shiji eats...

Li Shiji was also a little surprised why Cheng Yaojin didn't tease him, but just left after asking.

He didn't take it seriously and just chatted with his ministers, explaining how useful this recipe was.

After he finished bragging, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Damn it, it’s broken!

That bastard Cheng Yaojin must have been telling me all over the streets!

When he walked out of the palace, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely.

After returning home, his wife also looked at him with distressed eyes.

"Master, if it doesn't work, don't force yourself. Don't take medicine randomly, it will hurt your body..."

Li Shiji suddenly felt that his life had lost its luster.

Damn Cheng Yaojin...

No matter what happened, as long as Cheng Yaojin knew it, it meant that the whole Chang'an city knew it.

Old Cheng, relying on the fact that he eats a lot of beef, doesn't care about this issue at all.

"Who says I can't do it? I'm going to fight him for three hundred rounds!" Li Shiji was panting like a bull, as irritable and crazy as a bull seeing red silk cloth.

This is so fucking infuriating!
What man can admit that he is not good enough? This is a matter of dignity!
"People outside say so..." Li Shiji's wife said with some doubt.

"Don't you know whether I can do it or not?" Li Shiji was still furious, and he defended himself, "Madam, don't worry, the medicine was prescribed by Master Sun, it will definitely not harm your body."

"Really?" The lady's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true. Don't you trust me, but you also trust Master Sun's medical skills?" Li Shiji laughed, looking like a calm and composed master.

"That's good. I'll feel relieved then..." the lady said with a smile.

As a woman, she certainly cares about another aspect of her husband, which is also related to her own happiness.

This time, Li Chengqian did not hide anything. When several people came up to him to ask about the prescription, he told them one by one and instructed them on the strict dosage and usage.

Those who received the prescription naturally left with many thanks, and after using it, they all gave it positive reviews.

Li Chengqian also "inadvertently" let it slip that this recipe was found in an ancient book he bought in Jiangnan some time ago, and its rationality had been systematically demonstrated by Master Sun.

It was not until this time that the Shandong gentry officially confirmed that Li Chengqian must have obtained the prescription from the book "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

As for whether it is in the book, the Wang family is not sure...

After all, a doctor is just one of many professions, and the Wang family, who have inherited poetry and literature from generation to generation, do not think highly of this book, so the specific details have never been studied, and of course they have no idea what prescriptions are contained in it.

But this did not prevent them from impeaching Li Chengqian. Soon, Wang Yi gathered a group of imperial censors and prepared to impeach Li Chengqian during the morning court session the next day.

In order to win the battle safely, Wang Yi came to the Prince of Wei's palace again.

This time, Li Tai received him very warmly.

"Minister Wang, how are you?" Li Tai held Wang Yi's hand and greeted him warmly.

Wang Yi naturally did not dare to be negligent and kept saying that he was doing well recently.

After some pleasantries, Wang Yi got down to business.

"I have already found out that the Crown Prince got the prescription from the Wang family's heirloom, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases."

Since the prince is not the monarch, Wang Yi only used the title of "lower official" instead of "minister". The term "minister" can only be used when addressing the "monarch".

Who is Jun?

The Empress Dowager, the Retired Emperor, the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince are the real monarchs.

"Really?" Li Tai sat up straight and asked in a very serious manner.

"Of course it is true!" Wang Yi said confidently, "Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie married the daughter of Cui from Qinghe. He accidentally revealed this to the daughter of Cui..."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Tai's mouth twitched slightly.

Why do you have to believe Cheng Yaojin when there are so many people you can believe?
Can you believe what he says?

But what Li Tai didn't know was that in the eyes of other people, although Cheng Yaojin had a big mouth, he never told lies.

But they forgot one thing, that is, Cheng Yaojin was a die-hard imperial party member.

However, since he was aiming to set a trap for the Shandong nobles, Li Tai did not mention this, but said with great joy: "In this case, I will leave everything to Minister Wang!"

"Don't worry, Minister. Tomorrow the prince will be ready and have people go all out to impeach!"
