The 2nd time I am the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty

  (Updated daily with two chapters, 6,000 words added.)

  Everything in front of him already had many suspicious places that made Wu Chuzhen suspect that this was no longer his original world.

  But just now when he had just woken up from his coma, his brain was still not very agile, however now he already felt that something was wrong.

  Cao Dian asked Wu Chutian: "Your Highness, do you still remember the name of the Crown Princess?"

  Wu Chuzhen gave her younger sister a glance: "My little sister!"

  Cao Dian and Wang Taiyi's faces relaxed a bit after hearing this.

  The crown princess's face turned red: "That's right, my nickname is Xiao Gu." She was so happy that her body felt weak.

  "Your Highness, Crown Prince, do you still remember your own name?"

  Wu Chuzhen looked at him suspiciously and asked cleverly: "What's my name?"

  The few people who had just turned pale suddenly turned pale again.

  The little mushroom replied sobbingly: "The prince's name is Li Chengqian, and his courtesy name is Gaoming."

  Li Chengqian? …… "Who is Li Chengqian?" Wu Chuzhen asked foolishly.

  "What?" For a moment, everyone didn't know how to answer this silly question.

  "Li Chengqian... I, who am I the son of?" Wu Chuzhen asked through gritted teeth.

  Cao Dian raised his fist to the sky and drew a circle: "The Crown Prince is the eldest son of the Holy One, my great Tang Shu Jun!" (During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was often referred to as the Holy One)

  Tang Dynasty

  "What year is it now?"

  "Zenkan."

  The Zhenguan era, this is so familiar! The Zhenguan era of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin!

  Wu Chuzhen, oh no, now it's Li Chengqian. His mouth opened wide and his mind was flooded with historical information related to Tang Taizong and the TV shows he had watched.

  Tang Taizong, followed by Tang Gaozong. It seems that Tang Gaozong was called Li Zhi, because Li Zhi had a wife named Wu Zetian, so people generally remember Li Zhi because of Wu Zetian. Therefore, the crown prince should be called Li Zhi, but how did it become himself, namely Li Chengqian?

  Moreover, the most important thing is that I got drunk with the county magistrate last night. When I woke up after getting drunk, everything around me had changed. I transformed from a village official to Li Shimin's son, a mysterious crown prince?

  What's most, most, most important is how to get back to modern times? If I couldn't go back, what about my private fish pond that I got through abusing power, what about the county land bureau chief who took my money but didn't finish the job, and what about the widow at the village entrance?

  What people around him said could no longer be heard by Li Chengqian, he was stunned for a while, his eyes turned black, and he fell onto the bed.

  The East Palace was suddenly in a state of great chaos, and soon the three major imperial medical institutions, including the Left Spring Hall, the Imperial Pharmacy, and the Imperial Medical Bureau, were also thrown into chaos.

  The crown prince has gone mad, also known as losing his soul, and is in a coma, repeatedly unconscious. This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the Li Tang dynasty!

  If at this time the imperial physicians cannot save him back, I'm afraid that at least two of the three major imperial physician institutions will be abolished!

  Emperor Li Shimin heard Cao Dianyu's report, saying that the Crown Prince had become mentally ill and only remembered his wife's nickname, but almost everything else was forgotten. For a moment, Li Shimin did not know whether to cry or laugh.

  ………

  Li Chengqian woke up again when the palace had already lit up the giant candles, bright as daylight but still without the grandeur of daytime.

  The things that happened before he fainted were clearly floating in his mind. The things that didn't make sense before he fainted, after waking up from this sleep, he understood them himself, and he made a major decision:

  Resolutely follow in the footsteps of the great Li Shimin Li Taizong and contribute one's own strength to building a brilliant Tang society!

  This is a revised version of the sentence he heard most often when attending various meetings as a village official before coming to the Tang Dynasty.

  With this determination, Li Chengqian suddenly became easy-going and carefree. What fish ponds, what back doors, what village widows, all roll to modern times, I am now living in the Tang Dynasty, I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty!

  "Your Highness, you're awake..." a surprised voice sounded.

  The princess, who looked like a young girl, sat on the bed, looking at him with surprise and delight, her eyes red and swollen like two peaches, making people feel heartbroken.

  Li Chengqian reached out and gently stroked her cheek: "Why are you crying like this..."

  "Your Highness..." The crown princess's face turned red and her expression became unnatural, "Your Highness, I'll have the imperial physician come and take a look at you right away."

  Li Chengqian's face changed: "Cao Dianyu?"

  The crown prince's face lit up with joy, the crown prince still remembered people, that is to say he was cured. However, why did he remember Cao Dianyu first? Isn't this remembering a grudge?

  She nodded.

  "No way, that needle is deadly." Li Chengqian was resolute. "Isn't there another imperial physician? That sleepyhead of a doctor will do too!"

  "Love to sleep, Imperial Physician? Your Highness is referring to Wang Shichen, the imperial physician of Zuo Chunfang Yaocang Bureau. It's his duty to diagnose your illness. But Cao Dianyu cannot be replaced."

  "What is Zuichunfang Pharmaceutical Warehouse?"

  "That is the duty station of the imperial physician of the East Palace, specifically for treating illnesses of Your Highness."

  "Why can't people with the surname Cao change?"

  "He was sent by the Emperor from the Imperial Pharmacy to treat Your Highness's illness." The Crown Princess added, "The Imperial Pharmacy is located in the Taiji Palace and serves the Emperor."

  Li Chengqian's mouth involuntarily opened wide, then closed again. He didn't expect that someone with the surname Cao would have such a deep background! He was like an expert sent by the county secretary to Taohuayuan Village, and he couldn't be replaced or withdrawn!

  "Can't we just not get an injection?" Li Chengqian asked.

  The crown princess pursed her lips slightly, an action that showed she wanted to smile but didn't dare to, then nodded slightly, also not speaking, fearing that if she spoke, she would burst out laughing.

  The Cao surname arrived, also coming were the old Wang who loved to sleep, and several white beards, don't know if it was Yao Cang Ju or Shang Yao Ju, anyway they all had the same virtue, as soon as they came up they surrounded Li Chengqian here touching this and that, and their facial expressions were all solemnly serious.

  It was just like when Li Chengqian was still a village official, because of tooth decay (actually, "tooth decay" is the correct term), he went to the hospital. As soon as he lay down on the dental chair, a group of interns surrounded him, all staring at Wu Chuzhen's open mouth. Then the chief doctor told them that this tooth was beyond saving, and all the interns had serious expressions on their faces.

  Too much alike!

  Li Chengqian's heart was under a lot of pressure and he feared that these imperial physicians would suddenly say that this head was beyond saving!

  It's okay, the imperial physicians discussed it for a while after examining him and finally said that the crown prince's body has taken a turn for the better. He temporarily has a loss of soul syndrome, but since he remembered his surname was Cao after waking up from his coma, the condition of his loss of soul syndrome is already stable and developing in a good direction. As long as he takes his medicine on time, he will recover!

  Because the Crown Prince's consort had already fed back Li Chengqian's opinion to the imperial physicians, so they all didn't give Li Chengqian an injection, not even mentioning a word about it, great!

  When all the white-bearded men had left, Li Chengqian's tense body finally relaxed.

  "Little aunt, what is this 'soul loss syndrome'?" Li Chengqian felt that he had inexplicably been diagnosed with an illness.

  The crown prince's consort looked at Li Chengqian with a pitiful gaze and explained: "Your Highness, you will definitely get better, the imperial physicians in the palace are all divine doctors..."

  This sounds so familiar, in the 21st century when people encounter someone who is ill or disabled, they won't say anything else but this sentence to comfort them: Now technology is so advanced and medical skills are so developed, you'll be cured soon!

  But in reality, diseases that can be cured will be cured, and those that cannot be cured will still not be cured!

  "What is Cotard's syndrome?"

  The crown princess said with difficulty: "It's just that my soul is gone here..." She pointed to her chest, "My soul is gone, and I've forgotten about the past. Your Highness doesn't need to worry..." Behind her was another string of comforting words.

  No conscience, what's lost is actually just memory loss. And the problem isn't in the chest, it's in the head.

  Li Chengqian looked down on her.

  But somehow I became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I really didn't know what happened to this prince before. The people and things around me, as well as everything in the Tang Dynasty, were all unfamiliar to me, which was indeed within the scope of amnesia. They thought I had lost my soul, so I accepted it. After all, I couldn't tell them that I wasn't the crown prince, but suddenly became one, or else I would be caught and burned alive by these ancient people in the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, I've never been an honest person.

  Li Chengqian looked at the crown prince's wife, who was still comforting him with a worried face. "Alright, even if I got a broken heart disease, I won't be sad, don't worry about me, I'm optimistic."

  The crown princess finally shut up.

  Suddenly Li Chengqian remembered her identity as the crown prince's consort and his mood improved, "You are the Crown Prince's Consort?"

  "Hmm." The crown princess looked at him strangely.

  "Really?"

  "Yes, I was bestowed in marriage by the Emperor."

  "That's my wife now, hehe......" The little sister-in-law became his wife, which was something he didn't dare to think about before. Now, after a night of drunkenness, it all came true. That kind of triumphant feeling is just too great.

  The crown princess looked at his lewd smile and felt a chill in her heart. The crown prince wouldn't be having another episode, would he?!

  "Wife, what's your name... uh, didn't you guys say I forgot? I really did forget."

  "My surname is Su, my name is Miao, and my nickname is Xiaogu."

  "Huh?"

  "Su Hong, also has a nickname, called Xiao Gu."

  The author Wu Pen originally didn't know how to read this character, so I had to look it up on Baidu. Now let me enlighten you: 宓 (mì) means quiet or stillness, similar to the meaning of "honey" (蜜).

  Li Chengqian finally understood after being told so bluntly.

  "Is she your aunt?" It turned out that she had a younger sister's name, no wonder earlier when I called her younger sister she responded.

  "Hmph...Your Highness, it's a mushroom cap." Su Hong smiled.

  Being teased by his sister-in-law and wife together, Li Chengqian didn't feel embarrassed.

  "Xiao Gu, what a beautiful name!" Su He's face turned red with shyness. "I'm asking you about someone, his name is Li Zhi, and he has a wife named Wu Zetian, do you know them?"

  "Li Zhi?" Su He knew that Li Chengqian was still a soul-loss patient, and exclaimed with surprise: "Your Highness, do you remember your younger brother Jin Wang Li Zhi?"

  "Little brother?"

  "Yes, King of Jin is your ninth brother, he and you are both born to Empress. However, he has not married yet, so the Princess of Jin, Wu Zetian, you mentioned might be a mistake." Su He said.

  For not passing the history exam, Li Chengqian, who only watched a few episodes of "The Long Ballad of Chang'an", was confused. The successor to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Zhi, is now not the crown prince, but some kind of King of Jin. And this guy named Li Chengqian is actually the crown prince, so if nothing unexpected happens, when old Li kicks the bucket, the throne of the Great Tang will be Li Chengqian's!

  As soon as he thought about becoming the emperor in the future, Li Chengqian couldn't control his emotions and burst out laughing!

  As the protagonist is a historically semi-blind disabled person, author Wu Bi feels that he cannot let readers be misled by him and has an obligation to provide some real history. (If you are a historically knowledgeable reader, please skip this section.) The successor of Tang Taizong Li Shimin was indeed Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, also known as the husband of Wu Zetian. However, Li Chengqian is also a historical figure. He was the eldest son of Emperor Taizong and the elder brother of Li Zhi.

  Historical records in "Tang Hui Yao" Volume 4, "Crown Prince" have the following account: Zhongshan Wang Chenggong. Eldest son of Taizong. In the third year of Wude (620), sixth month, he was enfeoffed as Duke of Hengshan. In the fifth year (621), eighth month, his fief was changed to Duke of Zhongshan. In the ninth year (625), tenth month, he was established as Crown Prince. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643), fourth month sixth day, he was demoted to commoner.

  Li Chengqian became the crown prince after his father's victory in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He was demoted 17 years later due to treason and replaced by Li Zhi.

  So now the protagonist is still in a state of foolish happiness, yet he doesn't know that his fate is heading towards an abyss of ten thousand feet!

  Li Chengqian was stunned for half a day before he came back to his senses and asked his worried wife beside him, "What year of the Zhenguan era is it now?"

  "The Tenth Year of Zhenguan"
